MOSCOW, May 2O-New Ger man counterattacks in the Kuban Valley, fed by fresh reserves of men and tanks, have been smashed by the Red Army artillery and planes and Russian dispatches an- nounce heavy losses have been in- flicted on the Nazis as they made the second unsuccessful effort in two days to cross the River Kuban delta.
 There is a constant air and land action along the Russian n-German from the Karelian isthmus north to Leningrad where the Films are reported to have manned the for ward lines. More heavy guns have been added to the arc northeast of NovoroSsisk where the Germans still hold positions.
 There is no confirmation to the claim voiced by the German radio that Russian troops have launched sharp attacks on the German lines at Staraya. or that the Russians are developing big troop movements on Tampa Peninsula, Caucasus ar ca and at Kursk above Leningrad

 GET BOOST
Pay Increased Seven Per. cent Over Last Year 10
 t6,OO0 Workers

SEATTLE, May 20.-The Region al Labor Board has granted a sev- en percent increase in pay over last year to 16,000 Alaska fisher men and cannery workers by to decision.
 The Labor Board members indi- cated they might appeal to the National War Labor Board, not over the wage increase, but on some other clauses.
 Capt. John Fox, Labor member of the board, said after confer ence with officers of the negotiat- ing committee of the Alaska Fish ermen's Union, such an appeal will not result in any stoppage of fish ng They are not going to be like John L. Lewis and stop work"
 The seven percent increases in excess of the Little Steel formula wage increases and was granted fol- lowing telephone conversations with the Labor Board in Washington.
 Other terms of the decision grant war risk insurance paid by employ CTS to the amount of $5.000 plus $l50 for loss of tools and clothing during fishing operations.
 Fishermen who sign on at San Francisco, plus 5000 California Filipino cannery workers, receive bus, train or coach fare north plus $6 subsistence
 Fishermen also receive differ ence between first class fare on which it has been accustomed to travel to and from Alaska.
 There is possibility a bonus will be given the Bristol Bay workers because of special hazards by Jap operations there, but this was re- ferred back to the panel for fur ther consideration.
 The Alaska Fishermens' Union accepted the decision of the VILE for a seven percent wage increase and the cannery workers office has opened and crews are being signed up.

JOHN LEWIS
 EXCHANGING
 BEDFELL0WS
Applies to American Fed eration for Readmis-
 sion of Miners Union

WASHINGTON. May 20.-John L. Lewis return to the doorstep of the American Federation of Labor has stunned all but a few insiders among labor circles and left them groping for an explanation of the move by the unpredictable Presi- dent of the United Mine Workers.
 Lewis has defied the AFL since 1885, when he was suspended from the union for organizing the rival CIO.
 Now he has formally petitioned m behalf of the miners for read mission. An AFL statement yester- day said The application is vel comed and is being considered in an orderly and sympathic way" Friends said his action is evidence of his desire for suitable labor movement. Critics doubted if that told the whole story and many believed he made the jump because there was no other place to go, while still seeking top spot in the American labor movement.
 When Lewis lost control of the CIO and left it last year, he vir- tually burned his bridges behind him He tried third movement under the banner of the District 50 catchall unit of the UNIV, and re- suits were decidedly less than spectacular, it is remarked.

PROGRESS AT ATTu

WASHINGTON, May 20. The United States Army troops at Attu are making satisfactory progress in the face Of difficult conditions, Secretary of War Henry L. Stim- son reported today.
 They already have in their pos session the partially completed air. base the Japs were building i'll the Holtz Bay area Maj. Gen. Eugene M Landrum, described by Stimson as a veteran of former Aleutian operations" commands the troops in the Attu expedition, planned some time ago.
 Stimson told the press confer ence the soldiers are specially trained for the job and proceeded to Attu under heavy naval escort.
 Under cover of a dense fog to surprise the Japanese, and under cover of naval bombardment. Sec retary Stimson added, small party of Army scouts made the first landing near the west arm on Holtz Bay These were followed closely by another wave of troops in the same area and later another landing was made on the opposite side of the island on Y Massacre Bay, Stimson said
 The troops in the Holtz Bay area are commanded by Commander Col Frank L. Culin, Jr., but he didn't have the name of the offi- cer leading the assault on the southern side of the island.
 There was little opposition from the surprised Nips in the first phase of the Attu operations
 Stimson reported the troops had little difficulty in establishing strong beachheads and later were able to hold against the Jap coun- ter-attacks Although a dense fog concealed initial landings they also hampered subsequent operations. making air support almost impos- sible for selection of targets by the naval and other artillery extremely difficult
 The soldiers slowly pushed the Japs inland
 Enemy resistance stiffened along the high ridge in the center of the island. Numerous machine gun nests were encountered. Stimson said, but Culin's force fought and groped their way slowly forward through fog until they seized all the high ground overlooking Holtz Bay.
 The southern force was held up by heavy concentration of Japanese machine gun fire in the pass and high central ridge but this pass was eventually cleared by patrols and the southern force made con- tact with the troops from the. Holtz Continued on Page Three)

"Sourpuss Humorist"
 Visits Washington; Is
 To Do Some BIiSterinq
By JACK STINNETT

WASHINGTON, May 20.-Irvin S. Cobb, the "sourpuss humorist' from Paducah, Ky, has just visited Washington for the first time in nearly ten years and Washington will never be the same again.
 The reason for that conclusion is that Cobb is going to do piece or two on Wartime Washington and you can bet odds-on that he will place a few comic blisters on the nations capital that weren't there before
 Being interviewed by lady mem Der of the press in his hotel lobby, Cobb complained of the drafty breezes. Let's get out of here" he said, there's more air here than there is in Congress"
 That started him of on the sub ject of colds and Cobb can talk longer about colds than most people do when they are Speaking of Operations. He remembers for in- stance, that it was a Washington friend that directed him to a phy- sician who used the baking out' method of curing colds.
 When that doc got through with me" says Cobb, "all I needed was little gravy poured over me and some water cress stuck in my ears However, it must have work ed because the Cobb didn't even have a sniffle in his big nose.
 Cobb said he was glad he came to Washington because he had found that all he read in the pa pers wasn't exactly fact. Washing ton isn't really so all-fired crowded he observed. It's just that a million people come in here every day and the same number go out. He thinks Union Station is probably the seat i of the trouble and if we could get

BUY WAR BONDS
The W aShinqton Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON (Major Robert S. Allen on active duty)

WASHINGTON.-John L. Lewis would have got the surprise of his life if he could have had a dicta- phone recording of the conversa- tion of Secretary of War Stimsor and Gen. B. B. Somervell regard ing the use of troops in taking over the coal mines.
 Lewis had expressed public ap- prehension that the Army had 8 plan to seize the coal mines in case of a strike. Undoubtedly subordi- nate officers did have such a plan
 But when Secretary Stimson sat down with Secretary Ickes, plus General Somervell and other off cers, the Army expressed vigorous opinions to the contrary. General Somervell made this remark:
 The last thing we want is an issue of the Army against the people,
 Secretary Stimson also expressed relief that Secretary Ickes, known as a staunch defender of civil lib- erty, had been selected by the Pres ident to handle the coal crisis.
 During the period that followed --and up to this writing - there was only one brief moment when use of troops was even suggested An excited representative of the bi- luminous coal commission in Penn sylvania phoned that miners and their families were walking over coal mine property.
 Ickes told him to keep his shirt on and that was that.
