STRIKE BAN:
More Po,Uer for WLB

Congress moved swiftly to
strengthen the governments hand in
dealing with strikes.
First step was the senate's over
whelming enactment of legislation
empowering the government to take
over plants in which war produc-
tion is stopped by labor disputes
and making it crime to instigate
a strike in war plants or mines
which have been taken over by the
government.
The senate measure was much
amended version of bill by Senator
Connally of Texas to give congress
sional sanction for government sei-
zure of struck plants and mines.
Originally introduced months before,
it had lain dormant until John L.
Lewis refused to submit the soft
coal wage dispute to the War Labor
board and the miners work stop
page resulted. The final version
contained clause giving the WLB
legal power to enter and settle labor
disputes.
AS the bill went to the house, it
provided maximum penalties of one
years Imprisonment or $4,000 fine
upon anyone guilty of inducing a
strike or showdown in a government
operated plant.

RUSSIA:
Nazi Setbacks

Hammering at the northeast ap-
proaches to Nazi-held Novorossisk,
Russian forces had captured numer-
Gus towns, including Krymskaya
and killed 10000 German troops in
smash through the Kuban delta
bulge of the Caucasus toward the
Black sea.
Although the Axis forces were
weakened by the break-through, Hit
ler had been preparing for weeks for
action by bringing up fresh troops,
tanks and munitions.
The capture of Krymskaya had
two strategic benefits. 1t placed the
Red army in position to seriously
menace Novorossisk and it enabled
the Russians to cut the German-held
railroad between Novorossisk and
Protoka, 36 miles northeast of the
port.
Significant was Soviet report an

FARM PROSPECTS:
Situation ImprOues

Heartening tidings that the farm
labor, equipment and supply situa-
tions are showing improved prom
Use" were heralded by Chester c.
Davis, food administrator.
"a current appraisal of the farm
labor situation" he declared in a
letter to James F. Byrnes, economic
stabilization director, indicates
that there is an available labor sup
ply sufficient to produce and har-
vest 1943 crop up to the levels of
the announced goals"
While not entirely satisfactory,
Mr.. Davis said, the farm machinery
and supply situation for 1943 recent
ly has been improved. He revealed
that the War Production board has
agreed to permit an increase in
farm machinery production from %
to 40 per cent of the 1910 level and
an increase in repair parts to 100
per cent of the 1940-41 average. The
petroleum administration has prom
ised full gasoline supplies for food
production, even if further cuts in
civilian supplies should be neces-
sary, he added.

CONTROVERSY:
Russ Add Ne,v Fuel

More fuel was added to the flaming
Russ-Polish controversy when the
Soviet foreign office charged that
cabinet officers of the Polish govern
ment-in-exile had engaged in espio-
mage activities against Russia. To
this charge the Reds added the fur
ther allegation that the Polish gov
ernment had refused to permit use
of Russian-trained Polish troops on
the Soviet front.
United Nations chancellories had
previously been heartened over the
prospects of a resumption in Russ
Polish relations when Premier Josef
Stain had advocated the establish
ment of a strong and independent
Polish state after the war and sug-
gested Polish-Russian pact direct
ed against Germany. Observers
viewed the Soviet foreign Offices
supplementary charges as an indi-
cation that while Russia desired
good relations with Poland, it was
bitterly at odds with members of
the present government-in-exile.
Stalin's statement appearing In a
letter to Ralph Parker, Moscow cor
respondent of the New York Times,
had unequivocally endorsed the idea
of a strong and independent post
war Poland and declared that flu
ture Russ-Polish relations should be
on the basis of "good neighborly
relations, or an alliance against
Germany should the Polish people
desire it."

COAL:
Take and GiUe

Reversing the procedure of "give

against any new coal emergency.
The doughty interior secretary set
up machinery by which he may take
coal from persons or plants with
safe margins of supply and turn it
over to those caught short.
The action was taken at a time
when coal miners of the nation were
at work on a 15-day truce before
final settlement of wage demands
had been made.
Mr.. Ickes issued regulations set
ting up procedure under which he
could act to protect war plants and
essential civilian users from short
ages, regardless of whether they
arose from work stoppage in
mines, faulty distribution or other
causes.

newly arrived four-engine Liberator

out" Jap airport on the southern

From American army headquar-
