CAPTURE STRONG POINT

British four -engined bombers bat
tered Berlin with hundreds of tons
Of demolition and fire bombs last
night while the German capital
was still smouldering from its
heaviest raid of the war only 48
hours earlier.
TWenty-one bOmbers were lost, an
indication that the raiding force
may have numbered nearly 400
planes. If confirmed this would
mean that more than 1000 tons
of bombs were cascaded on Berlin
in a raid exceeding in weight even
that of Saturday night when be-
tween 900 and 1000 tons were drop
ped.
HIT OTHER POINTS
Smaller but still substantial for
nations were blasting at the same
time the industrial city of Bochum
and other points in Germany's Ruhr
valley with a loss Of II planes.
An air ministry communique said
preliminary reports indicated that
the heavy attack on Berlin was

Other daylight raids yesterday were
directed at industrial targets in
Holland and the railway yards at
Abbeyille in north France
The German radio acknowledged
that British bombers dropped high
explosive and fire bombs on Ber-

Talk

The height of something or other
in lame-duck appointments was
achieved when the Honorable Josh
I Lee. ex-senator from Oklahoma,
was named as n member OF the
Civil Aeronautics Board.
Up To the time he was put on
the board he had never been up in
ali airplane.
When he went to Mexico City to
attend a recent international con-
ference ON air travel, he went by
train.
The official explanation is that
the new board members family
doesn't want him to fly.
But Josh has tackled his new
job with vim and enthusiasm,
has hired smart young lawyer
as his assistant, and is boning up
on all that pertains to aviation,
though strictly on a ground
school pre-flight basis.
Almost any day now, you can
expect Josh to make his maiden
flight in one of them airplanes
Maybe they're here to stay.
All honest storekeepers now admit
that rationing is the only correct
method to deal with food shortages,
but one of the more statistically
minded retailers has just estimated
what it costs stores to handle the
job on canned goods alone.
There are l44 stamps year to be
handled for each of 125 million
people holding ration books. That
multiplieS to 18 billion stamps q
year, all of which have to be pasted
on cards before they can be turn
e6 in for new supplies of canned
goods. The government prints the
cards, each Of which holds SO
stamps. Divide 18 billion by so and
you get total of $50 million cards
TO be pasted up.
Tests have shown that one clerk
can paste up 20 cards an hour.
Divide 800 million cards by 20 and
you get l8 million hours of labor
required, Just to paste stamps in
books. If clerks are paid SO cents
an hour, that means So million

OVERTIME IS CHECK

OVERTIME IS CHECK
Washington manpoWer officials
expect the 48-hour week order to be
largely self-policing. The order Is
effective March 81 in 80 critical
labor areas and in the lumber and
non-ferrous metals mining indus
tries generally, but War Manpower
Commission people believe that any
employer who doesn't abide by the
order will probably be reported by
his employees, who will naturally be
interested in collecting all that
extra overtime.
II is the intention of the WMPC,
however, to grant a number Of
exemptions. Banks and retail
stores, for instance, might be
given blanket exemption i'm any
area, If they can show that
lengthening the work week to 48
hours will unnecessarily increase
costs, provide no extra service,
and release no employees for war
production. But il will be up to
every employer to prove his own
case and get official permission to
work less than 48 hours in the
critical areas. The area and re-
gional manpower directors are to
be the one who will decide every
case-DOt Washington.
Where the 48-hour week order
will be most binding is in indus
tries holding tiXed-price war con-
tracts, which will claim that their
contracts should be renegotiated to
allow for higher labor costs made
necessary by paying extra over
time. The headache for enforce
ment here will fall on Office of
Price administration, not on WMPC.
Already, OPA has indicated that it
believes the steel industry is max
ing enough money SO that it can
pay the overtime without having its
prices raised

I'm MEMORIAM

In loving memory of our dear
son and brother. Charles H. Pierce
who passed away from us on July
IL. 1870:
A happy home we once enjoyed
How sweet the memory still;
But death has left loneliness,
The world can never fill.
No one knows how much we miss
you,
No one knows the bitter pain
We have suffered since we lost
you.
Life can never be the same.
In our heart your memory fingers.
Sweetly tender. fond and true;
There is not day. dear Charles.
That we do not think of you.
In the graveyard sleeping sweetly.
Where the flowers gently wave;
Lies the one we love so dearly.
But whom we could not save.
No one knows the silent heart
aches.
Only those who have lost can
tell;
OF the grief that Is borne in
silence.
For the one Wc love 50 well.
