Talks To Lawyers
Guild War Convention
Bx Federated Prsss

CHICAGO-The catch-as-catch-
can, trial-and-error process in war
production must go, Senator Har-
ley H. Kilgore, Democrat, West
Virginia, sponsor of the Pepper
Kilgore- -Tolan bill creating an over
all office of war mobilization, told
the National Lawyers Guild war
convention here Feb %.
The lack of planning "has pro-
duced innumerable situations which
have resulted in delaying victory
and causing untold suffering and
hardship to the people of America
and our Allied nations" he con-
tinued.
Cites Airplane Industry Failure
AS one example of the break
down in the war machine, Kilgore
cited the failure of the airplane
industry to fulfill its goal of $4,000
planes for 1912, pointing out that
although the 125,OOO aim of 1943
had been reduced, "there is little
doubt we will not meet the 1943
goals"
Kilgore's proposal for coordi-
mated war effort, embodied in the
Pepper-Kilgore-Tolan bill, was in
dorsed by the convention, which
also went on record in favor Of
the Casablanca unconditional VIC
tory" decision and the invasion of
Europe at the earliest possible
date.
Other resolutions condemned the
Ruml tax plan, urged upward re-
vision of the Little Steel wage
formula and called for an end to
anti-Negro discrimination. Attor-
ney General Robert Kenny of Cal
ifornia was reelected guild presi-
dent.

ARMED FORCES:
Let George Do IL

"Since when has America
adopted as its national policy, Let
George do it'?" asked Robert p,
Patterson, undersecretary of war,
as he discussed the need for put
ting 10,800,000 men into the armed
forces by the end of this year. He
defended this plan by declaring
that this was the number needed
as judged by the commands and
staffs of both the army and the
navy.
"Full account has been taken of
the ability Of American industry
and labor and agriculture to pro-
duce the supplies needed by our
forces, our Allies and by our ci-
william economy" said Patterson,
and he went on to point out that
China had been actually engaged
in warfare for five and a half
years, that Great Britain by the
defense Of its homeland had come
the closest of the United Nations
to an "all out" struggle and fur
ther advanced the point that the
Russians "have killed more Nazis
than all the other United Nations
combined"
Then he inquired whether il was
U. S. policy to Let George do it'll"

POINTS:
For RatiOning and Study

Moving quickly, government
agencies placed three varieties Of
food under control as the nation
lined up for registration for the
No. 2 ration book to be used for
canned, bottled and processed veg
etables, fruits and juices.
Shortly after the department of
agriculture announced rationing of
dried beans, peas, lentils and dried
and dehydrated soups, the Office
of Price Administration placed
wholesale ceilings approximately
40 cents a dozen on eggs and froze
prices of fresh vegetables at the
levels prevailing between Feb. 1S
and %.
These moves put almost 80 per
cent of all food under some sort of
government regulation. The OPA's
action came as the nations house
wives still studied the effect of the
newly announced point values of
the various canned, bottled and
processed foods rationed. To many
point values proved much higher
than expected and undoubtedly viii
lead to numerous revisions in fam.
lily fare.
On top of all this came reports
from the Capitol that cheese, but
ter, fats and oils might be included
in the next rationing program
scheduled for meat.

Coincident with his statement,
Knox revealed that an American
destroyer succeeded in trapping a
U-boat in the Atlantic and sinking
it with a barrage of five-inch
shells. An American gun crew
aboard a freighter fired four shots
to sink Jap submarine that had
torpedoed and severely crippled
their craft in the Pacific, Knox
also revealed.
Germany is building U-boats
faster than we are sinking them,
Knox said. The new submarines
have longer cruising range than
the old and can submerge to
greater depth. The U-boat menace
is expected to reach its peak this
spring.

ALLIED ACTION:
RenetUed Demands

Renewed demands in London for
second front came from two
sources on the heels of Josef Sta
Inns warnings that "the enemy has
not yet been defeated"
Ivan Maisky, Soviet ambassador
to London, in fighting speech de-
clared that Russia expects "an
early realization of the military
decisions taken at Casablanca."
While acknowledging that the
successes of the Soviet army were
Every encouraging" Maisky point
ed out that they were being
achieved at a tremendous cost of
Russian lives and property. 1t is
natural, therefore, he said, that
the USSR expects early Allied ac-
tiOn.
Speaking before the House of
Lords, Lord Beaverbrook reiter-
ated demands for a second front,
declaring that Whatever may be
the plans of the Germans, we
should strike and strike now before
they can regroup divisions I.
If another attack is made on Rus
sia, June may be the date, so we
must strike quickly if we are to
be ready. We must invade north
western Europe now"

RUSSIANS:

There was little pause for cele-
bration as Russia's army marked
its 25th anniversary, but well the
Nazis knew that the Russians had
an army. For all along the broad
front the German retreat contin-
ued. From the northern anchor of
the Axis line in South Russia at
orel TO the northwest Caucasus

troops toward the Russian border.

ton with the reorganization of

Two factors gave credence to
such belief. First was the possi-
bility that the Vatican might be
asked to act as intermediary (bol-
stored by the visit of the Most
Rev. Francis ]. Spellman, arch
bishop of New York, and Pope
Plus KID, and second was a sug-
gestion made by Undersecretary

WHEAT BAN:
Has Been Lifted

AAA wheat marketing quotas
for 1912 and 1943 have been sus-
pended in what was announced by
the department of agriculture to
be a move designed to insure ade-
quate wartime supplies of the grain
for food-human and livestock.
Under the marketing quota sys-
tenn only wheat grown under their
AAA planting allotments could be
sold, used or fed by farmers. Ex-
cess wheat so disposed of had been
subject to a 81 cent per bushel
penalty tax for the 1912 crop and
it previously had been expected
that this penalty would amount 20
go cents on the 1943 crop. With
the quotas suspended these re-
strictions were lifted.
Secretary of Agriculture Claude
Wickard declared that when the
1943 quotas were announced in the
fall of last year this country had
a record supply of 1,613,00O,0OO
bushels of wheat-enough to sup
ply normal needs for two years.
AT that time farmers were asked
to use extra wheat land for other
war crops. New consumption of
wheat for human and livestock
food has gone up and as a conse-
quence the restriction had TO be
lifted to insure supply.

Charges that merchant seamen
refused to unload ships at Guadal-

Wants More
Cooperation
BY Federated Press

NEW YORK - An Ameri-
can la labor-management confer
ence to be called in the imme-
diate future and "to function
every day of the year through
specially-appointed liaison groups"
was proposed by Asst. Sec. of the
Navy Ralph A. Bard in a speech
to the American Labor Press
Assn. conference attended by 26O
AFL, CIO and railroad union edi-
tors Feb. 21-22.
Under Sec. of War Robert Pat
terson also spoke, assailing the
theory that time is on the side of
the United Nations agains fas-
cism because, he said, "to go about
the business of war in leisurely
way is to invite defeat"
STRESSES OFFENSIVE
Paterson stresse that the
United Nations are on the often
sive and that 1--WE do not intend to
drop it. From now on, by day and
by night, in every theater of oper-
ations around the globe, we are
going to hit the enemy with every
thing we have, wherever we find
him."
Bard expressed disappointment
that labor management commit
tees are operating in only a fifth
of our war plants and a belief
that production could be increased
as much as $50 by strengthen
ing labor-management cooperation.
EDITORS DISCUSS PROBLEMS
The editors discussed among
themselves the problems of win
ming the war and keeping the
peace. A majority of those speak
ing said that the best guarantee
of good peace was the strength
ening of unity nationally and in,
ternationally. There was criticism
and defense of several govern
mental agencies, including the Of
flee of War Inormation and the
State Dept.
Chairman of the conference was
J. B. S. Hardman, president of
the association and editor of Ad-
vace, official organ of the Anal
gamated Clothing Workers (CIO).

sion Feb. 21, established itself as

NORTH AFRICA:

"The Americans of Washington's
day faced defeat on many occa-
sions. We faced, and still face,
reverses and misfortunes."
When President Roosevelt ut
tered those words 10 days ago he
was thinking in part of the North
African front. But "reverses and
misfortune" are a far cry from
defeat" The battle-ground Of
southern Tunisia was the scene Of
an Allied reversal depressing
only to those who were over-opti-
mistic.
In three places American and
British forces checked the pace of
German advance in Tunisia. One
Nazi column, attempting a desper-
ate push on to Thala, was stopped
four miles south of the town
Bombers and fighters checked an
other strong attack on the road
leading to Tebessa from kasserine
and farther north, near Robaa, a
heavy German patrol ran into Sc
rious trouble when it attacked
British forces. 1t was sent rolling
back by crack British infantry.
The Naz column moving toward

relays of American warplanes
