The W aShinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON. worst long range problem worrying Adminis- tration leaders during the hectic closing days of Congress was the ever widening gap between factions of the American people similar to that which preceded the Fall of France.
 In France, labor government had its own way to such extent under Blum that public reaction veered in the opposite direction, labor was in the public dog-house and reactionaries were in the sad die. Labor became bitter, sulky, un- cooperative, while big French bus mess had its sway fts
 Neither side would cooperate. Both hated each other. So France fell.
 Today, in the U.S.A., public re- action against labor hit the full swing of the pendulum with the anti-strike bill Labor had enjoyed the largest degree of power under Roosevelt ever achieved by Ameri- can unions in their entire history. Now, as in France, labor is in the national dog-house.
 Whether it remains there is the big question; also whether labor becomes sulky, bitter and unco- operative as in France. Upon the ability of both sides to cooperate, to see the other sides viewpoint is going to depend a great many things in this country-not only winning the war, but the kind of government we have after the war is over.
 WAR PROFITS
 The War Production Board has just made a study of certain war industries, the result of which is not going to help labor's mood The WIPE shows the profits of airplane companies from war con- tracts, which even after deducting taxes, are enormous. These profit figures are based upon invested capital.
 For instance, North American Aviation, which suffered strike and seizure of it's California oper- ation by the Government, made 51.O6at profit in 194l after paying taxes. Before paying taxes its pro- fits were 134539c. North Americans 1940 profits were even higher = 57.33% after deducting taxes.
 Consolidated Aircraft, another big company, made the gigantic profit of 94% in 194l after paying taxes. Boeing, which turns ou

Allied Units Swarm Ashore on Southern, Eastern
 Sides Also
FIGHTING THROUGH
 BARRED WIRE, FIRE
Nerve Center Two Miles From Mainland Is
 Destroyed
tBy Associated Press)

Swarms of Allied bombers and fighters roared across the Medi- terranean narrows at dawn to form an aerial umbrella over the fight ing men of America who invaded Sicily this morning, Mediterranean time.
 Axis broadcasts said the Allied drive was spearheaded by para chute units and was strongly sup ported by sea forces, that h e Tanks landed on both the south ern and eastern coast of the bomb- battered island.
 The Italian High Command said Axis armed forces are decisively counter attacking.
 A German dispatch implied the invasion mounted from Malta and Pantelleria, saying the heaviest con- centrations were between Gibraltar and Cyprus. The Germans observed the long -heralded battle of Europe is under way.
 Through Hot Fire
 Naval bombardments covered the snubnosed shallow draft landing vessels as they slipped in from their conveys a mile off shore and headed for the rocky, precipitous coast through wire and hot ma- chinegun fire.
 First the Allied forces cut out their bridgeheads and then began battering their way to the interior of the island.
 Official details of the first phase of the invasion are expected later
 Meanwhile, Liberators of the Ninth Air Force, striking from Mid dle East bases in daylight, smashed the general headquarters, nerve center of the Axis and Sicilian de- fense forces at Taormina.
 Near Mainland
 This detail came from Cairo communique. Taormina lies on MesSina Strait, narroWs which sep arate Italy from Sicily by only two miles.
 The target area was reduced to rubble and left in smoke an d flame" communique reports.
 In this attack and other in- vasion missions by Allied warplanes, many enemy craft were destroyed on the ground and 20 were shot down. We lost II bombers.

 Congress in Action
 Topush War EfforI
Second of two articles on how Congressional committees push
 the war effort.)
By JACK sTINNETT

WASHINGTON, July 10.-Wheu the home front muddle and the greater pressure of attention to global military affairs forced the President to set up the Office Of War Mobilization he discovered that a little heard-of subcommittee of the Senate Military Affairs com mittee had already done the spade work for him.
 The subcommittee headed by Sen. Harry M. Kilgore, dug into lot of things It probed the re- lationship of wages to price con- trols and production and their con- clusions on that score are inter esting.
 "If wages and prices had been administered as production and manpower instruments" the com mittee said, "stabilization of both wage and price structure by in- dustry-wide agreements, with in- centive payments for increased pro- auction, would have become a basis for policy at an early stage. Only if wages and prices be- come production instruments will it be possible to achieves overall stabilization of economy"
 That may sound like something out of a college textbook, but it may be the keynote Of new govern ment policy-in fact. in small way. already is-and it's simple meaning is that prices wages. and manpower have to be correlated be- fore production can be brought to a peak and the national economy stabilized on hold -that-line" front.
 More surprising, perhaps, was the committees report that Jimmy Byrnes testified that his function as director of Economic Stabilization primarily was one of settling dis putes. He described his function as that of a court of appeals" and said that no problem was consid-
