CHUNCKINC DRIVE
GAINS MOMENTUM
Japs Push Through Hupeh
in Drive Developing Into
FulI=SCaIe Offensive
BY GEORGE WANG
United Press STAFF COrresDOndent)

Chungking, May 24-(UP)--A
heavily reinforced Japanese army
pushed westward through Hupeh
province today, threatening the Chi
nese forts guarding Chungking in a
drive that appeared likely to develop,
at any moment, into full-scale Of
fensive.
Chinese forces prepared for de-
cisive battles In western Hupeh
along the Yangtze river, 200 TO 300
miles east of China's wartime cap
ital.
A special announcement empha-
sizing the serious nature of the cur
rent fighting said Japanese van
guards had reached Yuyangkwan, "a
miles southwest of Ichang, which Is
on the north shore of the Yangtze,
295 miles northeast of Chungking
The rapid westward drive by SUI
perior enemy forces threatened the
river ports on the Hupeh-Szechwan
border, an official source said.
The offensive, spearheaded by the
Japanese 18th and 10th divisions,
apparently was coordinated with the
recent attack in the Tung Ting lake
area south of the Yangtze. If these
forces catch up with those to the
north, a front more than 100 miles
manned by strong Japanese units
would be created.
THE Chinese will be prepared to
meet this big-scale offensive"
spokesman said.
Enemy forces in the Ichang area
included at least four divisions re-

$4,000 DETROIT
WORKERS RETURN
ChrysIer Workers Griev=
anCes to Be Arbitrated;
Absenteeism Higher

Detroit, May "a up Seven
Chrysler Corp. plants resumed pro-
duction Of vital war materials to-
day as more than $4,000 workers,
idle since Thursday in an unauthor-
lied stoppage, returned to their Jobs
pending settlement of their griev-
ances by arbitration.
A company spokesman said all
plants, including the huge Chrysler-
operated tank arsenal, had "re-
turned to normal" He said absen-
teeism among returning workmen
was "only little higher than US
ual"
About 5000 members Of the Uni
ted Automobile Workers (CIO) rep
resenting the strikers, voted to end
the walkout late yesterday after
their leaders assured them at two
mass meetings that their grievances
would be considered by the man
agement and the War Labor Board.
Their action, ending Detroit's
most serious work stoppage since
Pearl Harbor, averted threatened
shutdown of other Chrysler plants
whose continuous operation de-
pended upon supplies from the
strike bound factories.
The strikers, at the meetings
called upon the WLB for prompt
ruling on their plea for establish
ment OF an impartial umpire and
an arbitration system at the plants.
A WLB panel submitted a report
on the workers demands to the full
board at Washington last week.
The strikers also called upon Il.
J. Thomas, union president, to re-
move Leo Lamotte as director OF
the UAW-CIO Chrysler division.
Lamotte charged Friday that the
strikes were fomented by Walter P.
Reuther, vice president and direc-
tor of the unions General Motors
Dept, for political reasons"
A resolution denouncing Lamotte
for making "slandering accusations"
against Reuther was adopted.
The resolution said the strikes
were protests against needless de-
lays" by the WLB and the alleged
refusal of Chrysler to adjust en-
ploye grievances.

ant; Truck Accident
Basis of Suit

Claiming he will never again be
able to return to his former job as
a tender in a casting shop and will
be restricted TO light work at lower
pay, Joseph Bouffard of Water
bury has filed a $4,000 civil action
against the Brock Hall Dairy of

turned to superior court, states the

dition to the back injury, a two
inch scar to the forehead and a
three inch scar to the right wrist re-
suited, the plaintiff alleges. Injuries
to the nose, scalp, and face also are
listed
His salary before the accident was
approximately 500 per week and he
will not be able to do heavy work
again, the injured pedestrian, who
is still confined, states.

MORE COFFEE,
LESS CHEESE
Good and Bad News Re-
vealed Today on U. S.
Food Front

Washington, May 24-(UP)--
coffee and less cheese were the
good and the bad news on the food
front today.
Larger supplies Of green coffee in
the United States make it possible
to allow each person one pound of
coffee for the period from May 81
through June 30 a period of a
month instead of five weeks. Price
Administrator PrentiSs M. Brown
announced the increase but said
that the supply situation may make
it necessary to cut the ration again,
The War Food Administration
and the Office of Price Administra-
ton jointly announced that early
in June soft cheeses, heretofore ra-
ton free, will be included in the
rationing program. Such cheeses as
cream cheese, Neufchatel, Camem-
bert, Liederkrantz, Brie and blue
cheese will be included on the new
point value chart for meats, fats
fish and cheese to be issued for
June. Cottage, bakers and pot
cheese will remain ration free, how
ever.

COAL OPERATORS
SEEK HEARING
WLB to Consider Request
Today; Reasonably Gen.
erOus Decision Sought
BY RAYMOND LAIR
United Press Staff Correspondent


Washington, May 24.-(UP)-The
War Labor Board will consider re-
quest by northern and southern soft
coal operators today for new pub
lie hearing on their wage-hour dis
pute with John L. Lewis United
Mine Workers.
The operators, acting jointly, told
the board in a telegram that they
did not feel report on the dispute
submitted by special WLB panel
fully covered their side of the di-
sue.
The WLB agreed to consider the
operators request for another hear
ing arter the southern group assert
ed that the panel report indicated
WLB intention of acceding to the
miners demands despite govern
mental anti-inflation orders.
Their appeal conceded with a re-
port by Solids Fuels Administrator
Harold l.. Ickes that the second
week of government operation Of
bituminous mines saw the largest
Saturday output since adoption Of
the six-day week last winter, the
rise of estimated weekly production
above the 100000 ton level, and
the largest weekly production Of an
th:acite in more than three years.
- The bituminous coal division
estimated bituminous coal produc-
ton for the week ended May Is at
12,l50000 tons compared With TO-
10000 tons for the week ending
May 8, when miners were returning
to work. 1t was the largest week
since April 10 when 12,400,000 tons
we're dug.
The bureau Of mines estimated
anthracite production for the same
week at 100000 tons, the argest
since the week of Jan. 27l, 1910,
when 1,425,000 tons were mined.
President Edward r. Burke of the
southern coal producers association
said WLB Chairman William II.
Davis had agreed to consider his
request for another hearing at 2:30
p. m. today,
New hearings would completely
upset the boards plan to have
final decision in the coal dispute
ready by Wednesday Of this week.
The board was in almost continuous
session over the weekend, reviewing
tn panel report and trying to reach
a decision.
On the basis Of the panel report,
most informed labor quarters eX-
pected a reasonably generous de-
cision, possibly embodying the mi
ners' demands for a guaranteed six

Continues; Enemy Claims Sinking of U. S.

Washington, May 24-UP)-A
second wave of japanese bombers
has attacked Attu and five of the
16 enemy planes were shot down
the Navy announced today.
Six American Lightning fighters
met the attack. Only two of the
American planes were lost in the air

aircraft, which took place yesterday

American ground forces on Attu
are continuing their steady pressure
against the pockets of japanese re-
sistance and have succeeded In
liquidating number of the enemy
points, the communique said.
Text of Navy communique No
1888:
North Pacific:
al. On May 90:
"(a) The pressure of U. S. Army
forces against pockets of japanese
resistance on Attu Island continues.
A number of enemy points of resist
ance have been liquidated.
"(b) During the afternoon 16
Japanese twin-engined b m b e r S
were attacked by soix Army Light
ming Gockhede P-38) fighters over
the eastern part of Attu. Five Of
the enemy bombers were shot down
One U. S. fighter is missing. An
other fighter is missing. Another
fighter was shot Gown, but the pilot
was rescued"
Mop Up Continues
The mop up of the remaining few
japanese on Attu continued today
after an apparently last frantic at
tempt by the enemy to relieve the
garrison.
A Navy communique revealed that
IS enemy bombers sought unsucceSs-
fully Saturday afternoon to sink two
N. S. naval vessels operating near
the island. They were twin-engined
bomberS.
The communique did not indicate
where the planes came from. But
they could have come from Paramu-
shire in the Kurile Islands or from
Kiska in the Aleutians. KiSka, how
ever, has been the objective Of re-
lentless bombing by American planes
and it was believed the runaway
there probably has been damaged
too severely to permit the take-off
of so many large planes.
Paramushiro is the japanese
naval and aerial stronghold $50
miles west Of Attu well within
the range OF tWo-engined bombers.
There was no change in the gen
eral situation ashore on Attu where
Army troops late last week forced
the japanese into three small
groups in a tiny patch of land on
the northeastern end of the island.
There the surviving japanese await
ed surrender Or death.
Despite the futility of their posi-
ton, Tokyo radio continued to min
imize the impending American con-
quest, saying the defenders had

$4,000 ON STRIKE
AT AKRON PLANTS
Other Goodyear Workers
Sent Home Today Due to
Lack of Material

Akron, O., May 24.-UP)-Mem
bers of the United Rubber Workers
(CIOD at the Goodyear Tire anC
Rubber Co. joined in force the strike
at two other major rubber COM
panies today, increasing to approx
mately $4,000 the number of work
ers in the mass Walkouts.
A spokesman for the Goodyear
company, largest rubber manufac-
turer in Akron admitted that only
about so per cent of the 5000 work
ers on the 6 a. m. shift had reported
this morning He said it may be nee
essary to send some workers home
because of a lack of materials nor
mally produced by those now on
strike.
officials Of the Goodyear local
union agreed on the percentage of
workers which stayed away from the
company's three plants, which en-
ploy approximately $4,000 on three
shifts. He said SO per cent of the
5000 workers on the 10 p. m. Shift
last night also failed to report.
The two other companies whose
production has been halted COM
pletely by the general strike were
the B. F.. Goodrich Co., employing
approximately 1900, and the Fire
stone Tire and Rubber So, where
$4,000 work.
Meanwhile, production at the
General Tire and Rubber Co. re-
turned to near normal as the 6 a. M.
shift, employing approximately 1850
workers, reported. Some 1000 men
employed on two previous shifts re-
ported yesterday and last night.
Officials of union locals at good
year, Goodrich and Firestone said
today that further developments
would depend on word from Wash
ington where local leaders were con-
ferring with CLIO President Philip
Murray.
The strike began Saturday when
URW workers in Goodrich, Fire
stone and Goodyear plants protest
ed a National Labor Board wage de-
cision affecting those concerns.
The general strike was in SYM
pathy with the walkouts at the
other factories.
While workers continued their de-
fiance of a WLB plea to return to
work, union representatives went to
Washington to confer with Clio
President Philip Murray in an eff
fort to reach a settlement.
