VinSon to direct the cancellation of draft deferments of workers who fail to obey VILE orders, the withholding of checked off from recalcitrant unions and the cancellation of government contracs and priorities of non complying em- ployers.
 WLB's Hand Strengthened
 The order strengthened WLB's hand in the coal mining dispute. It means that VILE could withhold dues from the United Mine Work CTS union If 1t persists in its refusal to sign new contract with the mine operators. Or 1t could use its new powers against the U. s. Gyp- sum corporation which has refused to comply with VILE order direct ing inclusion of maintenance of membership clause i'll union con- tract.

An official summation of the Siciltan battle, issued as Allied artillery and planes carried the war to Italy proper, revealed that 135,000 German and Italian troops were captured and 32,000 killed or wounded up to August 10.
 "The Sicilian campaign is standing testimony to the supremacy of Allied navies in this area of the Mediter- ranean, to Allied air suprem- acy, and to the determination of the Allied land forces to engage and defeat the enemy wherever they may encoun- ter them," a statement said.
 Pound Italy Boot
 Allied guns planted on the last patch of Sicily to be wrested from the Axis were pounding the toe of the Italion boot while warplanes ranged all over south Italy, blast ing at the Axis retreat routes. GA French report relayed by Ma drid said some German units had completed demolition assignments in southern Italy, regrouped. and left by train for Rome--a possible sign of Axis intentions to abandon the exposed part of the peninsula)

cording to the best information, the

kazi Production Race
Essential 10 Victory
Is Declared Lost
Figures Obtained by Allies
Show Steel Output and
Oil Reserves Waning
By the Associated Press.

LONDON, July 2.-Strained by
nearly four years OF total war
and hammered day and night by
Allied air power, German indus
try has lost the production race
essential to victory. although
Germany still has plenty of fight
left, reliable British and foreign
sources indicated today.
Figures gathered by these sources
suggest that Germany has positively
passed her peak as a warmaking
power and now is on the downgrade
because of production decline.
More conclusive evidence of this will
appear within the year. it was said.
A steady fall In steel production, a
narrow margin of oil reserves. an
inability to replace vital railway
equipment, reduction in tank and
plane production and other i'm
portant symptoms of industrial de-
terioration appeared in the available
figures. the sources said.
oUNC4 pI WAlASll WdS az
an annual rate of approximately
Is, 900 900 tons in January, 1942, fell
to 92.5 per cent of that peak by the
first Of the year and was down to
895 per cent in May, according to
the figures here.
Oil Supply Is Short.
Tied in with reported electric
power difficulties, which were mag
nified by the RAF's destruction OF
the Moehne and Eder Dams, was an
oil shortage.
The best sources estimate that
Germany needs 100000 900 to 13ooO,-
900 tons OF oil yearly, and Italy
$500 900, while a comparative lull in
fighting exists. Major operations
naturally send this consumption
skyrocketing.
Germany's present oil reserve is
estimated at 100000 tons and the
British and foreign sources en-
phasized that is all she is likely to
have to counter prospective Allied
invasion, since production is said to
be just about keeping abreast of
consumption.
According to the best information,
the Reich now is getting around
100000 tons of natural oil yearly
from the Rumanian fields and be-
tween 100000 and 100000 tons
from synthetic plants
But one of the catches in produc-
ton of synthetic gasoline, the
sources here said, is that the present
output requires at least $4,000, 900 900
kilowatt hours of Germany's avail
able 10000, 900 900 kilowatt hours OF
electric power.
