The W ashinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON tMaior Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON.-Despite the fact that the President has little time for most domestic problems these days, he got aroused last week over undercover knifing aimed at one of his first New Deal reforms protection of investors through the Securities and Exchange Con- mission.
 Ever since July 194o, Wall Street and banking groups have been try ing to amend Securities and Ex- change leg g gisla t i o n-some of the amendments making sense, others cutting the heart out of the SEC Hearings regarding these proposed amendments have been held before the House Interstate and Foreign Commerce Committee, but for about year now they have lain dor mant.
 Out of the clear blue, however, the proposed SEC amendments have been revived. Apparently the big Wall Street boys figure now is the time to strike while Roosevelt is busy with the war, and Congress is lackadaisical about New Deal reforms.
 To this end, Chairman Clarence Lea of California has announced that hearings, in effect, to stymie the agency which Roosevelt creat- ed in 1883 to keep the money changers out of the Temple, would begin immediately.
 Further he has revealed the amazing fact that the consultant for the House committee is none other than Paul Frum, partner in Newton D. Bakers Cleveland law firm, and representative of the Ma tional association of Security Dealers.
 In other words, the National As- sociation of Security Dealers, an organization active in the drive to gut the SEC, has had it's man sit- ting on the staff of Congression- al Committee supposed to be im- partial and supposed to decide things for the best interests of the country, not for the Wall Street traders.
 Furthermore, Frum is sitting with the House Interstate Commerce Committee at closed-door sessions, with no member of the press or public present.
 This caused SEC Chairman Gan

ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN NORTH AFRICA, June 23.-Sweep- ing in with heavy bomb loads less than 12 hours after American bombers jolted the same targets by daylight, Wellingtons of the Royal Air Force smashed Salerno on the Italian mainland last night in a continuation of Allied efforts to knock the underpinning out from under Mussolini's supply system for southern Italy and Sicily.
 Two-ton blockbusters were plant cd squarely on the freight yards near the barracks at Salerno, key port 30 miles south of badly-bat- tered Naples.
 Start Fires
 Huge fires were started Allied Headquarters said.
 Salerno Is the key point in the main electric railway running southward from Naples to the toe of the Italian boot.
 The American raiders already had caused extensive damage to many railway sidings, repair de- pots and approaches to the yards there.
 Reconnaissance reports showed railway traffic already interrupted for 24 hours by the smashing of the roundhouses, turntables and other installations there and at other points along the line.
 The Wellingtons encountered only light anti-aircraft fire as they swept over their targets.
 No Opposition
 No enemy fighters took to the sky and all planes returned safely to their bases.
 The only other aerial activity by the Northwestern African Air Forces yesterday was some patrol ling and reconnaissance. The bulk of the Allies hundreds of bombers and fighters were inactive.
 Reconnaissance photographs talk en after the Flying Fortress attack on Naples Monday showed 40 per- cent of the Italian Royal arsenal there had been destroyed. At least 25 fires were started there.

ALASKA DEFENSE COMMAND HEADQUARTERS, June 23-The question of whats happened in AL aska since the capture of Attu brings one answer from the Army

1T looks bad right now" he

Linforth explained he was not

son. He pointed out that the
company was getting in the
huge Bamberry machines which
make passenger tire building
possible on a huge scale. New
facilities were coming out fast
and even some of the old facili-
ties were being brought back

Unions AssdiIed
By Farm Bureau

EAST LANSING. Nov. 10
Labor unions drew criticism from
leaders 81 the Michigan State
Farm Bureau meeting here who
asSailcd unions for agitating a roll
back Of prices. and interfering
with delivery Of farm produce TO
market.
Edward a. O'Neal. president Of
the American Farm Bureau Fed
Grafton. speaking before the con-
vention, blamed what he termed
current inflationary threat on
the powerful forces Of organized
labor, backed by the administra-
ton, which prevented the inclu-
sion Of the wages Of labor in the
original price control bill. -
1T just isn't common sense
TO fix prices and leave costs un-
controlled. and since wages are
the biggest single factor In
costs. IL naturally produced an
impossible compensation"
O'Neal said.
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1943-11-12

The Goodyear official had no
illusions about the economic
status of synthetic rubber versus
crude after the war.
eff the war ends soon. we will
60 hack to using crude rubber
In tires as quickly as possible"
he said. 1T doesn't seem pos
sible that synthetic can ever
compete with crude on the basis
of price.
But neither do ] think that
we will ever let the synthetic
program drop entirely. We will
continue to experiment and find
many uses for II. IL may be
only for standby purposes, but
II will be kept going. The ma
ton has a tremendous invest
ment I'm It."
Linforth was high in his praise
of the Jackson plant. He said it
was stepping up production and
would be ready to meet any post
war demand for tires, whether
the automo OF lie production
reached 100000 or 5000, 900.
