Sterilization Will Hold

WASHINGTON. Nov. 10 Up -
Chairman William H. Davis of the
War Labor Board acknowledged
today that the coal mine contro-
versy had damaged the boards
policy in dealing with strikes, but
declared the wage sterilization
policy was not impaired and avow-
ed his determination to hold the
line against all assaults.
Davis asserted in a press con-
ference statement that the way
to close the gap between wages
and living costs is to bear down
on prices. ANY other course"
he said, would be following a
will-of-the-wisp." He said fatty
that the wage sterilization policy
''has been firmly maintained and
believe that it will continue to
be firmly maintained"
Referring by implication to the
boards policy Of refusing to con.
slider the demands Of employees
while they were on strike, Davis

|MARAUDERS SPEED
over NAH LANDS
Air Base At Chievres Is
Pounded By Ameri-
can Sky Raiders

LONDON, Nov. TO- tA ~. S.
Marauder bombers streaked above
the heart of Belgium today to
pound the Nazi air base at Chiev-
res as more than 500 Britain-based
warplanes famed out over Hitler S
Europe in one of the biggest Allied
daylight aerial offens;ves in weeks.
Hour after hour, formations of
medium and light bombers and
fighters Numbered back and forth
across the English channel, and a
dozen attacks were executed.
Few enemy fighters rose to
meet the raiders, and from the
operations only one Allied fighter
was reported missing.
The american force which blast
ed the Chievres base just 30 miles
southwest of Brussels and lis air
miles from Dover on the English
coast, lost no planes.
Returning fiers said their bombs
fell among at least 30 twin-e ngined
enemy bombers in the air base's
principal dispersal area. and de-
stroyed at least four while scoring
direct hits on a hangar.
Land targets in northern France
felt the sting of Raj Typhoons,
Whirlwinds and Mustangs. while
an additional force Of Whirlwinds
swept over the isle Of Guernsey
and attacked enemy coastal YES
sells.
Swooping down in surprise az.
sault on shipping in the Lear
drieux estuary in Brittany, Ty-
phoon fighter bonbers plunked at
least one bomb squarely on an
enemy ship.
The Marauders, on the f i r
American operation from Britain
since Flying Fortresses hit Dueren
Sunday, and their escort OF swift
Spitfires met no enemy planes at
all. This underscoreu an Raj
commentator report today that
the German air force had been
forced to conserve its resources
to defend prime Nazi targets.
, While the Marauders were out,
U. S. Thunderbolt fighters went
over northern France in independ-
ent sweeps.
An Raj officer who led the raid
on Brittany shipping said the Whirl-

German torpedo launches sought

Red army planes and heavy guns
sank two German torpedo launch
es, patrol cutter and high

There was heavy fighting in the
Newell area, where Russian spear
heads were approximately so miles
from the Latvian border. The Rus
slams moved on through minefields
and barbed wire to capture sew
eral strongly fortified areas, beat
ing off five counter-attacks d
wiping out German battalion.
Over 600 Germans were killed in
another sector.
The fighting in the Kiev area
saw the most important Russian
gains of the day. AS the Russians
drew near to Korosten and hito-
mir German resistance was ex-
pected to stiffen, for these points
control railroads running into Pc
land. At Korosten a Russian sue
cess would captare the last north
south railway line short Of Poland
carrying troops and supplies be-
tween the northern and southern
sectors Of the German front.
The German reporter L h r
Schurz, in a Berlin radio broad
cast, described a visit to the Kiev
sector with the echo of Russian
guns still ringing in his ears.
1T is the concentrated fire of

said. This may be estimated to
represent at least 500 barrels con-

Far to the south in the Dnieper
river loop the Germans also faced
serious disaster. They reported at
tacks on the Kherson bridgehead,
north of Krivoi Rog and southwest
of Dnepropetrovsk which, tn y
said, were frustrated. A Russian
attempt to penetrate the mouth OF
the Dnieper with eight ships was
also reported, but tn German
high command said six were sunk
and two captured by German
naval patrol vessels.
At Nikopol, one Of Russia's most
important manganese mine cen
tiers, the Red army was reported
gradually forcing the Germans
from the bridgehead they still
held on the southern back of the
Dnieper opposite the town.

tary of Interior Ickes and John
L. Lewis, president of the United
Mine Workers, while the miners
were on strike last week. He said
that although it would be foolish
to say" that the boards policy
of not dealing with strikers has
not been damaged, that policy will
be maintained.
Davis said that a recent letter
he addressed to Vice President
Wallace on the subject of wage
sterilization had been widely
misunderstood and misapplied. "
He said the letter pointed out that
in the major basic industries 1.-The
price of labor, which is the hour
ly wage. has been held substan.
TALLY constant since September IS,
1912, while the price of other
things which the wage and salary
earners buy has not been held
so constant.
This has been taken to mean
that I think that those wage rates
should now be increased to match
the cost Of living increase since
September Is, 1912. That erroneous
deduction should be corrected. In
my OPINION exactly the opposite
course should be followed. Wage
rates have been stabilized sub.
stantially as Of September IS and
should remain stable. Those prices
which have not been so well stabi-
lized should be firmly held, and,
so far as practicable, brought
back to the September IS level,
in my opinion.
'Any other course would be fol.
lowing a will-of-the-wisp. 1t would
renew the tragic race between
wages and prices. That would, l
believe, subject the wage earners
in the major basic industries 10

Calls SarOyan
Possible Twain

Saroyan wrote and I kept read
ing him thinking that one OF
these days the guy would get
himself Strengthened out on his
writing and produce something
really important, and I believe
ne has done this I'm his first
novel, The Human Comedy" a
tale Of a small town in war
time America, probably Fresno.
Saroyan's home:
I MAKE few predictions about
i writers and writing. but I
say this may be one Of the
greatest novels ever written by
an American. II has sweetness
that I never expected to find
in Saroyan and faith in the
Creator that Is sublime.
IT has story value beyond
anything he has ever done and is
a depletion of small boys equal
IL not superior TO Stephen
Cranes kids of Whilomville."
The author, who ID now in
the army, which may further his
development, is q triie too OBJ
vious In his preachments, but 1t
Is good old-fashioned Christian
and American preaching which
cannot harm anyone.
I understand Metro has made
q fine picture of The Human
Comedy" and I'm fact I am told
that Saroyan wrote IL first as a
movie scenario for which he
got $4,000, but in any event 1t
has come out a novel of such
merit as to lead me to the be-
lief that here Ia Saroyan's true
meter and that IL he forsakes
the writing Of bad plays for this
broader field, we may have an
other Twain.
