 In addition to the contemplated invasion of Europe, Byrnes listed these as among "our war plans for 1943:"
 l. A very substantial increase in war production over last years rec ord-breaking goals.
 2. Enlistment of additional mill lions into the armed forces.

tween the Eighth Army and the Afrika Korps on the eastern side of the Mareth line, 55 to 70 miles ir- side Tunisia, the dispatches as. serted.
 There had been no Allied con- flrmation that the Eighth Army had crossed the border in force, although Eighth Army advanced units had met American forces in. southern Tlnisia.
 Today's middle eastern command communique merely said, however, that patrol activity continued along the border yesterday, and that bad weather hindered air operations over the battle area.
 The middle eastern command and Royal Air Forces communique re- vealed that Axis planes had tried to raid Tripoli Monday night for the first time since 1t fell to the Eighth Army. Both Axis bombers sent on the raid were shot down by Allied fighter planes, apparently some dis. tance from their objective.
 Allied bombers from the middle east blasted Palermo, Sicily, again Monday night and started fires.
 American forces, radio Paris said, were being concentrated in the Gafsa area of Tunsia, whence they might drive northeast to the Port of Sfax, southeast to the Port of Gabes, or directly east - the short. est route to the coast - to the Gulf of Gabes. The purpose in either case would be to cut of the Afrika Korps from Col. Gen. jurgen von Arnim's forces in northern Tunisia.
 The German Trans.O Ocean Agency said a plane of unknown national ity" flew over Gibraltar yesterday, causing an air raid alarm. The agency also said the British air. craft carrier Formidable, the bat tleships Nelson and Rodney, an armored cruiser and several destroy~ CTS had arrived at Gibraltar after a voyage into the Mediterranean.

INDIAN LEADER
 TO FAST AGAIN
Continued from Page 1)

Continued from Page 1) istS of an offer of home rule after the war which Sir Stafford CriHps, now British minister for aircraft production, brought to India in be- half of the British cabinet.
 In Q letter to the Viceroy, dated last December 21, Gandhi insisted that the government had "wronged an innocent man" and said that he expected the government to realize this. He asserted that he had given the government six months to real- ize this.
 "The period is drawing to e close and so Is my patience" Gandhi ue- clared.
 He also wrote:
 Convince me of my error or errors and shal make ample amends" lN
 The viceroy replied on January 13, pointing out that violence had swept India, that police officials had been burned alive, trains wrecked and property destroyed. A further exchange of letters failed to alter either's position.
 Immediate concern was felt among nationalists for the health of the frail, Spectacled, clmost tooth- less Gandhi who surrendered him. self to police last August when riots broke out and was interned in the Palatial palace of the Aga Khan, leader of Indian Mohamme. dams, at Poo1a.
 Immediately after his iaternment, Gandl1i Issued a call for passive re- sistance against British rule and promised complete success within two months.
 There was an outbreak at New Delhi, the capital, when an Gandhi's birthday October 3 Nationalist mobs tried to observe "Candhi Week."
 Gandhi had been weakened seri- olsly by his ascetic life, his age and his recurrent lasts in the interest of his life work, the freedom of In- dia for government by the Nation alist.
 Tn 1882 Gandhi started his famous fast unto death," in protest against the governments grant of separate celebrates to the Hindu "ulntouchables," the millions of the depressed classes whom HinduS re- gard as outcaStS. Agreement Ends Fast
 He ended that fast when Hindu caste leaders and the lintouchableS reached an agreement.
 It was feared at the time of his internment last August that he would start & fast because he told his followers: Remember the slo- gan-we get freedom or die" Many 1 NationalisrS died in rloTS.
 Gandhi has lasted eight times In the last 25 years. the last in 1889 when he threatened to fast unto death as the result of a dispute with the authorities of Rajkot state. This fast ended after five days when the viceroy intervened and assured him that he had been wrong in ale leging breach of faith by the In- dian state authorities. He lasted also in 1918. 1921. 1924. twice in 1883 and in 1884.

48-Hour Week Order

and intention of the administration, it probably Is attributable to the fact that the program was revealed FA1a parts and sections and more or les5 Independently by three different lndividuals and explained separately by two of them.
 Immediately congressional reac- ton to the 48-hour-work week pro- gram generally was favorable. But whether it and other nanpower pro- posAiS will ease pressure for draft labor legislation will depend large fly on their effectiveness and the completeness of enforcement. There were some demands, too, for rec vision of the wage-hours act to make overtime payments start after ze hours.
 The program was made public in three announcements, a presiden- tial executive order, @ directive by Chairman Paul V. McNu.t putting the 48 hour-work week into effect in the 32 areas, and @ radio address by Byrnes who, explained the ob- i. Electives of the order and manpower. wage, and anti-inflation policies, agenerally. In the absence of Me- Mutt, deputy chairman Harper ex- splained the commissions plans. M .Objectives of the new manpower 4jpolicies, however, were firmly stated: To enable industry and ag- .ficulture to obtain workers for es sSential production without compel ling the war and navy departments to curtail their plans for 100000 men and women In the armed ser- vices.
 One Word Changed
 = Byfnes took some of the comptl- eory flavor out of the program by .A last-minute and unannounced change of a single word in his broadcast. For the word "compel," In his distributed text, he substi- yuted the word induce" in the par- 1graph in his speech in which he announced that Presidet Roosevelt had signed the 4e-hour order.

 "A special note is introduced to explain with exactness the blackout to be placed around identities of military or Naval units outside the country or in defense or embarka- ton stages.
 "On the subtraction side,' the code has dropped all restrictions on publication of casualty informa- ton after this has been made known either by the military dee partment or the next of kin; 1t releases from restrictions informa- ton about bomb shelters except when specially constructed; and 1t modifleS the restrictions hitherto placed on war production in four instances.
 There is no longer any mention of contracts between government agencies and war producers in the war productive clause. Experience has shown, MT. Price said, that the government agencies have all the suitable controls they need over contractors to dispense or limit contract details for publication.
 Secret war designs or formulas still are restricted, but the phrase capable of adaptation for war pro- duction" has been dropped from the restriction.
 "There is no longer objection, ex- cept in the case or secret weapons, designs, formulas or experiments,' to publication of the exact type of war product. 'Generalized' names previously suggested in the code are out.
 There is no longer objection to local or national war production 'round-up' articles as long as these do not reveal production rate of a specific war product.
 One other change may be in the nature of relaxation in certain cases." Where the code has stated that any restricted matter may be published when made available officially by appropriate authority" the revised code says: .. made available for publication by appro- priate authority.
 "This change, according to MT. Price, is intended to register the intent of the ofiice of censorship to establish that some agency or person suitably responsible has taken the responsibility for publi- cation of otherwise restricted mat ter. 'Of1cially' is too hard a word to define, and often implies 'oficial' approval by an agency or person concerned where no objection with out approval is really what is meant, the director explained.
 "In Q forward, notice Is taken by the censors of commentators and columnists.' All requests of the code 1t says, apply to advertis- ing matter, news letters, corporation and business reports, letters to the editor, personal and society news (which often discloses military or diplomatic movements or identify restricted herein), and commenta- tors and columnists who deal both with news and circulated reports. The code does not limit speculation or opinion. But use of any device of speculation to disclose restricted information presents Q hazard to voluntary censorship.

 would advance into enemy waters in the western Pacific. Halsey, who even hopes to see the defeat of the entire Axis this year, said in his New Year message to his command: Great things are expected of you during the coming year."
 But already Japan had suffered its most humiliating defeat since it started it's expansionist program in 1881 with the theft of Manchuria from China.
 Began Last May
 The Solomons campaign actually began last May when a force oS United States carrier planes sank il Japanese warships, transports and cargo vessels at Tulagi hrabor, just norht of Guadalcanal. This was the first phase of the battle of the Coral Sea in which Japan suffered a big defeat.
 Between May and August the Jap- anese moved into the Solonlons un- hampered. Their construction of an air field on Guadalcanal, within range of United Nations bases and supply lines farther south, made ac- ton imperative.
 So the Marines, supported by the fleet, moved in and landed on Guadalcaanl, Tulagi, Tanalnbogo, Gavutu and Florida islands. The Japanese cleaned out the small landing forces in the last four islands, it may be said now, in the first few days of bitter fighting.
 But on Guadalcanal, where the first landing was unopposed, seven months of fighting under frightful conditions of climate and terrain brought American victory, and the Stars and Stripes now fly from Hens derson, the air field which the Jap- anese had just about completed when the Marines landed.

 "When we are drafting men and youths into the armed services" he said, "at $500 a year, we cannot let other men and women work where they please, when they please-or allow them or persuade them to jump from one job or business to another because 1t pays more. No business man, no farmer and no worker has Q right to look upon this war as an opportunity for personal profit.
 "In the future, workers may be guided to employment where they are most urgently needed. In the fu- ture, they must not leave essential employment whether in the factory or on the farm without good cause.
