Roosevelt Should
Head Peace Talks
President Forwarded
AS Candidate for Post
OF Permanent Chairman

CHICAGO, Sept. 10. (UP)
Vice President Henry A.
Wallace suggested today that
President Roosevelt be made
permanent chairman at the
peace table after the war.
Wallace said he had not discuss
ed his proposal with anyone and
that he did not know what the
Presidents reaction would be.
THE President probably will be
tremendously surprised when he
hears what 1 say" Wallace added.
During a press conference, Wal
lace said he would like to throw
out thought" and said:
with peace approaching there is
one man who is exceedingly i'm
portant to peace proceedings above
any other man in the world.
He is a man who by his face-to-
face contacts and who by his
knowledge of language and geo.
graphy would have an extraordin-
ary inflence at the peace table.

RACE WITH GERMANS
The Seizure of Taranto in race
against German efforts to occupy
strategic points in Italy and around
the Adriatic was major success
for the Allies
While the Taranto landing was in
progress, British and Canadian
forces in Southern Italy-on the
toe of the boot-moved forward and
the Allied forces that landed south
of Naples were engaged in fierce
fighting against the Germans.
German broadcaSts acknowledged
that italian troops in the Naples
area, near Salerno, had gone over
to the Allied side and were fighting
the Germans, but claimed they had
suffered heavy losses. Most of the
Italian troops in the Naples area
were disarmed, the Germans claim
ed
The surprise landing at Taranto
gave the Allies highly important
strategic base for moves in the Al
riatic area and also raised the pos
sibility of quick push westward
to cut off many German troops
trying to withdraw to central or
northern Italy.
"a national broadcasting COM
pany reporter, in broadcast from
Algiers, said only immobilized units
of the italian fleet were in the
Taranto harbor when the British

Australian forces moving from

WLB Refuses TO
Grant Wage Boost

WASHINGTON. Jan. 9-tUP)-
The War Labor Board emphasized
again today that it cannot approve
wage agreemen-j which violate ma
tional sterilization policy, even if
they have been signed by both
management and labor.
The boards attitude was reit-
Grated in an opinion written by
Wayne L. Morse, a WLB public
member, in connection with I'M
animous board decision in a Los
Angeles building employees case.
Morse declared that the boards
wage policies will break down COM
plcteiy unless wage increases set
forth in prior agreements and col
lective bargaining contracts are to
be sr1ordinated to the national
wage stabilization program"
The WLB refused to approve a
wage increase of $40 month for
10 AFL affiliated employees of the
William G.. Kerckhoff Co., of Los
Angeles, although both labor and
management had agreed to the in
creases.

NkzI CRIMINALS

(Fullerton News Tribune)
The peoples of Europe can not forget
the barbarity and brutality OF the Ger
man invaders. That is why none OF them
will tolerate a soft peace, regardless OF
pressure from otner continents. Nor are
the Allied armies disposed to sottness.
For instance, there is this pronounce
ment from Stalin 'The Hitlerite black
guards have made it rule to torture So
Wet war prisoners, to flay them by the
hundreds and condemn thousands of them
to death by starvation. They outrage and
slaughter the civilian population OF oc-
cupied territOreS-m and women, chill
dren and old folk, our brothers and sis
ters. They have made it their aim to en-
slave or exterminate the population of the
Ukraine White Russia, the Baltic States,
Moldavis, the Crimea and the Caucasus:
Only villains and blackguards bereft OF
all honor and fallen to the levels of beasts
can permit themselves such outrages to-
ward innocent, unarmed people.
"They have covered Europe with gall
lows and concentration camps. They
have introduced a vile system of hOstag
es. They have introduced innocent vic
tins taken as hostages because some Ger
man beast was prevented from violating
women or robbing citizens. They have
turned Europe into a prison OF nations,
and this they call the new order of Eur
Ope.
I'VE know who are the men guilty Of
these outrages. Their names are known
to tens of thousands of tormented peo-
pies Let these butchers know that they
will not escape responsibility for their
crimes or elude the avenging hand OF tor
mented nations
The same thoughts-with less moder-
ation-are held by the peoples of Poland,
Norway, Holland, Belgium, Czechoslo-
vaka, France and the entire Balkans.
Following the first World war, similar
threats of reprisal were not carried out,
but the provocation is greater this time
and MANY of the Nazi leaders undoubted-
ly will be tried as common murdererS.
