Steel Industry Denies
Output Will Increase
Under 48-Hour Week
McNutt's Order Means
10O-MiIIion Increase in
Costs, Spokesman Soy
By the Associated Press.

Steel industry sources said today
that War Manpower Commissioner
Paul v. McNutt's order to put the
industry on a compulsory 48-hour
week would boost steel payrolls by
$100, 100000 year.
The increases would come from
payment of time-and-a-half wages
for all hours worked above 49, a
provision of the wage and hour law.
The industry sources contended
that while this would mean a pay
raise for more than 100000 steel
workers, 1t would neither increase
steel production nor reduce labor re-
quirements.
$ -s.,.eNear 100 Per Cent Capacity. r.
~7' The industry, they said, already
has been producing ingots for some
time at the rate of more than 80 per
cent of capacity with an average
workweek of 416 hours for all en-
ployes.
Mr.. McNutt's order, issued Satur-
day night, decreed establishment OF
a 48-hour week by July ] and for
bade blast furnaces, steel works and
rolling mills to hire any new work
ers after June l unless they are
operating on a 48-hour schedule.
Mr.. McNutt said the order would
enable not only full use of exist
ing facilities but release much man.
power necessary for new facilities
(steel plants, which will come into
operation within the next few
weeks"
Quotas Fixed by WPB.
The industry spokesmen asserted
that the number of hours worked
each week in some divisions of steel
plants are fixed by production
quotas allowed them by the War
Production Board and by the avail
ability OF supplies.
When these divisions start operat-
ing, they said, the work is continu-
GUS until the production quota is
filled. regardless Of whether it takes
one day or seven.
Moreover, they said, these divisions
can run only with a man in every
position, so full crew must be kept
available whether operations last one
day or several
When workers in these divisions
are not needed full time, they said,
they are shifted to other divisions
to take care of labor shortages or
to fill in for absent workers.

BY OLEN CLEMENTS,
Associated Press War Correspondent
GUADALCANAL, April Is De-
layed -Four daring Marine Corps
pilots today stopped and turned
back formation Of 30 Japanese
planes bent on bombing American
forces on Guadalcanal.
1t being Easter, the boys had
started out to plaster the Japanese
installations on Kolombangara
Island in the Central Solomons with
few explosive eggs, but clouds
obliterated the target area so a for
nation of Douglas Dauntless dive
bombers couldn't get through.
But the four Marine Corps Cor
sairs on the mission slipped in and
gave the Kolombangara Japs a good
machine cunning. Then the ma
rines started home.
Coming into the sunlight the fast
Corsairs were sort of preening them
sleeves, doing lazy IS" maneuvers
now and then as they flew along
Over Buraku Island, Mai. Munford
Peyton of Cavern City, KY, leader
of the flight, looked up and saw the
sky full of Japanese Zeros and
bombers streaking toward Guadal-
canal.
30 Planes in Formation.
The major called his three fellow
pilots and started climbing. There
were 20 Zeros and 10 bombers in
the enemy formation. The Zero
odds against the Americans were
five to one, which is the exact ratio
of Japanese air losses to those Of
Americans in the South Pacific. It
was just about an even fight, the
way the marines figured it.
At $4,000 feet Maj. Peyton lev
eled off and waited for his three
companions. They moved in for
the attack.
The Japanese planes scattered.
The marines came in shooting, just
as if they hadn't already expended
half their ammunition at Kolom-
bangara. The marines gasoline was
low
Maj Peyton shot down one Zero
and started for another. 1t. Milton
Peck of Jackson, Miss. brushed off
another, but his own motor began
to sputter SO he started for home.
One other marine pilot downed
another Zero just as Maj Peyton
shot down his second enemy. Then
down went one Corsair followed
closely by another. That left the
major alone.
Spots Another Zero.
Maj. Peyton spotted another Zero
pilot who wanted to fight. So he
sailed in with his guns roaring and
his third Zero victim for the day
spiraled downward.
Then Maj. Peyton got his-a bullet
in leg and another one in shoul-
der His wounds were not serious.
but they we're painful so he streaked
for home. At this moment the
japanese turned back for their base.
Despite his wounds, Maj. Peyton
put his Corsair down on Henderson
Field like chicken coming to roost.
1t. Peck had already arrived.
AS Maj. Peyton was whisked to a
hospital bed they brought word to
him that his little formation Of
four Corsairs had saved Guadal-
canal from blasting by the 30
plane enemy formation.

The Yankee Doughboy has been en-

France, Lieutenant ]. S. Steiner tells
his many Bluffton friends on his re-
turn to him home town. Steiner, sta
toned with the army medical corps,
is Bluffton's first overseas man to re-
turn. He was stationed at hospital
near Bordeaux, in France.
The heart of France was opened
and nothing was too good for the
American trooper when the French
man learned that the Americans had
stood between Paris and oncoming
German hordes, and had thrown them
back in utter confusion. Steiner
states that it was worth five years of
his life to have been in Paris on Nov.
IL, the day the armistice was signed
and see the joy on the faces of war
torn nation. Every thing was free in
Bordeaux that day and no money
would be accepted from the man in
uniform.
Waldo Bixel of Camp Sherman is
home to spend Christmas with his par
ents, Mr.. and Mrs. Peter Bixel.
Aldine Roethlisberger writes that
he is located in France somewhere
near Bordeaux and Spain. He says
there is quite contrast between liv-
ing and travelling conditions of France
and the u. S. A. The armistice has
been signed by the Germans and Al
dine says before long he will be home
to help with the farming.
Word has been received by John
Slusser of Columbus Grove that his
son, Dewey, 21, had been killed in ac-
ton two days before the armistice was
signed.
Homer Reeder of Jenera writes
that he has been at the front for four
months straight, and has sure heard
a bunch of shells coming over. One
night two big bombs dropped right by
his post and dirt, stones and shrap-
mel rained down all around and over
him. He escaped unscathed from the
ordeal. Reeder was stationed with
the Fifth Corps Military Police COM
pany.
