ALLIED HEADQUARTERS IN
NORTH AFRICA, July 3.-The
Allied assault on Italy's military
air fields rose to a new peak Of
fury yesterday when heavy and
medium American Bombers from
North Africa and the middle
east swung across by daylight
to pulverize four important bases
on Sicily and the Italian main
land.
Only a few hours earlier heavy
British night bombers had poured
tons of explosives on the battered
cities of Palermo, Sicily and Cagliari,
Sardinia.
Castelvetrano airfleld on Sicily
was a target of North African Air
Force bombers.
The attack on Palermo was
termed heavy and successful" with
two-ton blockbusters heading the
destruction.

Railway Pay Increase Dispute
May Be Referred to President
Head Of Panel Which Voted Raise Refuses
Vinsons Request to Reconsider Decision
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
A new administrative dispute
was dumped on the White House
doorstep yesterday when I. l..
Sharfman, chairman of the Rail-
road Emergency Board, turned
down fatty Sterilization Director
Fred M. Wilson's request that the
board reconsider its recommen-
dations for an 8-cents-an-hour
increase for incorporating rail-
way employees.
Mr.. Sharfman told Mr.. Vinson
in letter that he was without au-
thority to reconvene the board. At
a press conference. he added that
the stabilization director "is trying
Evening star., 1943-07-04

to tell us how to settle the dispute,
and we are the only ones having
that authority"
The board, Mr.. Sharfman said,
had recommended to the President
what it deemed to be a fair and
reasonable settlement, and there
was no point in reconsidering it.
Mr.. Vinson set aside the award
on the ground it violated wage sta
bflization policies. In a memoran-
dunn opinion, he suggested the board
might use a test as to whether
wages are "substandard' in recon-
sidering the matter.

Stock Leaders Ease
Fractions 10 81 in
Quiet Dealings
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Financial writeI

NEW YORK, Sept. 27.-The stock
market generally ignored further
good war news and other bullish
developments today, with most lead
ers backing away fractions to 2
points. There were isolated recess
sions of 3 or so.
The principal question in the de-
cline was whether the list was dis
counting foreign happenings, such
as peace feelers by the wavering
Axis and the outlook for lot of
corporate reconversion headaches
when the world conflict ends. The
majority of commission house Gus
toners also seemed confused by tax
prospects and inclined to trim COM
mltments or stand aside pending
clarification of various political and
economic pictures.
