OPAs point development and con-
troll.
To these men and to Maryland
State OPA Director Leo McCor-
mick, the CIO delegation has rec
commended the organization Of
neighborhood price wardens (along
lines Of AFRAID wardens) to pre-
vent "pocketbook" raids. They
would like to see in Maryland an
organization of price enforcement
comprised of neighborhood shop
pers cooperating both with the
OPA and the regular police en-
fOrcement agencies.
RED MEAT FOR WORKERS
incidentally, with labor generally
taking a black eye because of
Lewis, it is noteworthy to report
that the Maryland CIO council
openly disayows any sympathy
with the coal miners in their week
end walk outs. While they have
sympathy with the plight of work
ing men who see their earnings
melt away beneath the heat of ris-
ing prices, they stoutly contend
that striking at this time is mex
cusable.
Hand-in-hand with the effort to
control prices, the leadership in
vested in Dominicis and Katz has

CURB:
War Plant Building

Ordering a halt on virtually all
war plant construction which can
not be completed by October 1, the
War Production board announced
that the nation now has enough in
dustrial plants to produce the ma
terials required to beat the Axis.
Meanwhile the board had directed
widespread conversion of machine
plant tools and other existing facili-
ties to the production of more ur-
gently needed goods. Calling its &C.
ton a Significant milestone in the
war program" the WPB said that
men and materials released by it's
new directives would be channeled
elsewhere into the war program.
WPB officials estimated that con-
struction of between $500, 900, 900 and
81 900, 100000 in new war plants
would be halted, even If it were nec-
essary to dismantle partially COM
pleted ones. Many machine tools
orders will be cancelled, and tool
plants will be converted to the pro-
duction of ''things that shoot"
The announcement emphasized
that there has been no easing off
in the demand for critical materi-
ais; there Is on the horizon no in
dication whatever of a lessening in
the demand for labor"

MERGER:
Wire Giants Unite

Improved telegraph service for
those engaged directly in the war
and for the general public in the
postwar period was forecast as a
result of the merger of Postal Te1e-
graph Inc, and Western Union Tele-
graph company.
Together the two companies do a
business of about $145, 900, 900 a year
and their combined assets will ap-
proach $5O0,O00, 600.
eliminating negotiations and dis
cussions covering more than 20
years, the merger was made pos
sible by recent congressional action
and by approval of the Federal Com
munications commission. Under the
terms of the agreement, Western
Union will acquire all assets and
all business of Postal Telegraph and
assume it's liabilities and obligations,
including the amount owed by Postal
to the Reconstruction Finance cor
poration at the time of the closing
of the agreement.

ployed and more than 1880 tons of
explosives were rained on the Nazi
city. An attack on Dortmund had
reached the intensity of the Cologne
foray, but the Duisburg raid was
the heaviest of all time.
That the Duisberg raid was but a
prelude to what Nazi-held Europe
might expect was indicated by
devastating forays which followed
Immediately. American Flying For
tresses continued the marathon by
making their own heaviest attack
since the war began on St. Omer

Meanwhile in the East the Russian
air force took the initiative away
from the Nazis, while Red planes
smashed at German communica-
tons at Warsaw, capital of Poland,
and its suburb of Praga. In the
Mediterranean area, U. S. bombers
strafed airfelds and shipping IA
cilities in Sicily and on the Italian
invasion coast.

price rises or stand in the way of
price reductions.
The new policy directive was is
sued in response to the WLB's ap-
peal for Qualification of it's position
as a result of President Roosevelt

order. The board had complained
that it was virtually stripped of all
discretionary powers in wage cases,
since the Presidents order had linn
tied it's actions.
While restoring authority to elimi-
nate "gross inequities" Mr.. Byrnes'
directive did not restore to the board
the power to correct 'inequalities"
which it held prior to the Presidents

welcome and encourage the develop

TRADE PACTS:
Green Light by House

Surviving debate and the threat Of
gripping limitations, President
Roosevelt's reciprocal trade pro-
gram was extended by the house of
representatives for a term Of two
years.
AS debate had divided on party
lines and the Republicans had sup
ported a series Of amendments
which the Democrats charged would
have been "a kiss Of death to the
entire program, Speaker Sam Ray
burn had rallied support sufficient
to insure favorable action. While
gaining main support from Repub-
ucans, the amendments were offered
by Democratic Congressman West of
Texas, only New Deal member of
the house ways and means commit
tee to oppose extension of the act.
Reciprocal trade pacts have been
negotiated with q nations in the
last nine years.

LIFELINE:
For Small Business

Hope for financial aid for small
store owners, operators of gasoline
and service stations and other small
businesses adversely affected by the
war was held forth by the Recon-
struction Finance corporation in an
nouncing a loan program.
Jesse Jones, secretary of COM
merce, said the program would be
in the hands of the RFC Mortgage
company. The company, he added,
is ready to consider loans against
real estate, including stores, private
ly owned gasoline and service sta
tons and business properties gen.
orally that have lost their earning
power by reason of wartime restric-
tons and regulations.
MIR. Jones announced that three
types Of loans will be considered:
participation loans; refunding loans;
and care and preservation loans.

AIR RAIDS:
Bombs Write History

Cologne and Dortmund had suf-
fered destructive Allied air raids
that dwarfed the damage visited on
London by the Luftwaffe in the bat
tie of Britain, but it remained for
Duisburg, center of German war and
transportation hub of the Nazi's de-
tense of western Europe, to be
smashed by the heaviest aerial as
sault in all history.
The Raj was the Allied instru-
ment of destruction. It was esti-
mated that as many as 1000 tons of
bombs were dropped. The heaviest
previous raid ever made anywhere
was that on Cologne, on May 81,

OFFENSIVES:
Europe and Asia Both

Not only Allied smashes against
Hitlerite Europe. but decisive cam
paigns against Jap-held domains in
Asia and the South Pacific in weeks
TO come were on the United Nations
war timetable scheduled by Presi-
dent Roosevelt and Prime Minister
Churchill in their Washington con-
ferences.
That activity against Japan would
be stepped up on a major scale was
indicated by two developments. One
was the presence at the Washington
conferences of Chief
Sir Archibald Wavell Of India, Ad-
miral Sir James Somerville, the
Eastern fleet commander, and Sir
Richard Peirse, the India air COM
mander. The other was the disclo-
sure that Admiral William F. Hal
sey and Gen. Douglas Macarthur
had met to coordinate future op-
erations in their areas.
Indicative of the trend toward de-
cisive American action was Tokyo
radio report that strong u. S. forces
had invaded the Jap-held island Of
Attn in the Aleutians.
Observers believed that future
moves on Japan might take on a
nutcracker character. One prong
would close in on Nippon from the
east, via Halsey's and Macarthur S
combined forces in the Pacific.
The other would squeeze Japan's
flank from the Indian ocean and
the India Burma front, using the
combined commands Of Wavell,
Somerville and Peirse.
But whatever form the attack took,
one thing was clear. The cleanup
in North Africa and the re-opening
of the Mediterranean had SO short
ened Allied shipping lines that
transportation Of greatly augmented
supplies and military personnel to
the East was now possible. This
meant that sorely-pressed China
would be due for some long-delayed
relief.

PROBERS:
To Guide Consumers

Plans of the OPA for hiring 1,4OO
more investigators to help roll back
the cost of living were disclosed by
Price Administrator Prentiss M.
Brown.
The new investigators job, he
said, will be to educate innocent
violators of price rules and punish
willful "chiselers. Mr.. Brown de-
clared that his aids had estimated
that effectiveness of OPA regula-
tons, depending mostly on adequate
personnel could cut the cost of living
S per cent.
The 1,40O extra Investigators will
be added to an existing force of ap-
proximately $500.

WAR PRISONERS:
To Till u. S. Farms

Transportation of most of the
$4,000 Axis prisoners in Allied
hands in Tunisia to North America
for work on farms in the United
States and Canada was predicted by
military observers in North Africa.
Such an action, it was pointed out,
would solve the question of feeding
and caring for these prisoners in an
area already crowded with Allied
troops. Moreover, it would help
solve the manpower problem here
and in Canada.

SUBMARINES:
Allies Defense Cro1vs

The Allies were making steady
progress against Hitler's hitherto
most potent weapon-the submarine.
Decreases in monthly shipping
losses by the United Nations and the
preponderance of transported
Allied munitions and supplies in
North Africa at the victory finale
were indicative of this.
Evidence of how the Allies were
successfully applying air and sea
power plus grit and stout hearts
against the Nazi subsea peril
abounded in epic report issued by
the British admiralty describing how
navy escort ships and Royal Cana
dian Air force planes had sunk or
probably sunk 10 German subma-
rines in an eight-day battle in the
Atlantic.
Characterizing the action as the
biggest single Allied victory against
U-boats, the admiralty report said
that planes, destroyers, frigates, cor
vettes, cutters and sloops joined in
the battle continuing day and night
for eight days. AS many as Is en-
envy submarines were in action at
one time. The battle finally turned
in favor of the convoy. Some dam
age was suffered" the admiralty
said, "but the majority of the mer-
chantmen reached port in safety"

RUSSIA:
Donets Flares Aneuv

Even as the Red army had con-
tinued its methodical, grinding drive
against the line of German fortifca-
tons outside Novorossisk, last Nazi-
held bastion in the Caucasus, other
Russian forces to the north in the
Donets river valley had opened
fierce attacks near Lisichasnk, about
125 miles southeast of Kharkov.
For weeks, Soviet dispatches had
reported trainload after trainload Of
German troops rolling eastward to
the Russian front. But Hitler had
kept his moves for what would be
his last chance offensive well
masked.
In the action near Lisichansk,
gateway to the eastern Donets basin,
the Russians said the enemy had
tried wedge-shaped drive into Rus
sian-held territory, but this thrust
was pushed back. In pursuing the
retreating Nazis the Red troops were
able to establish themselves on a
hill of great tactical Importance.
Elsewhere along the otherwise
quiet front, artillery duels in the
Leningrad and Kalinin areas and
scouting skirmishes on the Smolensk
sector comprised the main action.
