MOBILIZATION:
Super Board Formed

President Roosevelt's appointment
Of James F. Byrnes as director Of
the newly formed Office Of War
Mobilization meant that now the
home front would be marshalled be-
hind the war program on a scale
hitherto undreamed of.
Coming after the historic series Of
conferences between the President
and Prime Minister Churchill of Brit
ain the establishment of the Office
of War Mobilization. marked sig
nificant milestone. For now the re-
sponsibility for production, procure
ment, transportation and distribu-
ton Of military as we'll as civilian
supplies, materials and products was
vested in one man-James F. Byrnes
and the committee working with
him. That committee included Sec
rotary of War Stimson, Secretary OF
Navy Knox, Harry Hopkins and
WPB Director Donald M. Nelson and
Judge Fred M. Vinson who succeed
ed Byrnes as economic sterilization
director.
The Presidents order establishing
the new body, gave Byrnes and his
associates on the board authority
over the national economy and pro-
ductive effort unprecedented in his
tory.

RAIL WAGES:
Nonoperators Tipped

Wage increases Of eight cents an
hour recommended by an emergen-
cy fact-fnding board of the National
Railway Labor board panel for more
than 100000 incorporating employees
will increase the rail industry's an
nual wage bill by approximately
1904, 100000, authoritative transpor-
tation sources estimated.
The Is incorporating unions had
asked an increase of 20 cents an
hour, with a minimum wage of 70
cents an hour and the union shop.
The board declined to recommend
these proposals. Subject only to ap-
prevail by Sterilization Director
James F. Byrnes, the boards rec
concentrations were retroactive to
February l.
The wage increases, report of
the board said, are ''the minimum
noninfationary adjustments neces-
sary to correct gross inequities and
to aid in the effective prosecution of
the war"

CASUALTIES:
y. S. Losses Light

Balancing Axis versus American
casualties in the Tunisian campaign,
Secretary of War Stimson found the
scales overwhelmingly in favor of
the United States. The North Afri-
can victory cost the United States
1858 casualties, including 2,184
killed, 9,437 wounded and 6,937 miss
ing or taken prisoner.
Axis casualties amounted to $685.
900, or 18 times the American total.
German and Italian losses included
10000 men killed and 26,400 wound
ed, with another 266, 900 taken pris-
oner. In comparison, overall AL
lied losses were less than 10000.
In addition to prisoners, the Allies
captured tremendous quantities of
military supplies, including large
numbers of aircraft and many naval
vessels, he said. Despite small
American losses Stimson said the
Tunisia campaign had developed
nothing to cause the high command
to reduce its manpower estimates
under which the army is expected to
total $780, 900 men.

WAR PROFITS:

nearly $2,O00,0O0, 900 of what it
termed excess profits through the
renegotiation Of army contracts.
The savings to the government
represented readjustments on con-
tracts covering 1941 and 1912 bust
ness to date. It was estimated that
1943 savings would be bigger.

ALEUTIANS:
Cleanup on Attu

Even as a senatorial committee
was digesting report that Japan
would send a naval and land inva-
sion force against continental United
States this summer, American forces
in the Aleutians were pursuing
relentless cleanup of enemy detach-
ments on Attu island.

RUBBER:
Strikers Go Back

Back to their jobs in Akron, Ohio,
streamed 81, 500 rubber workers fol-
lowing a curt ultimatum from Presi-
dent Roosevelt that ended five-day
strike stopping essential wartime
rubber production.
Terming the walkouts ''inexcusa-
BILE" and fragrant violation of the
no-strike pledge" the President
had warned that necessary steps
would be taken to protect the ma
TONS interests unless the strikes
were terminated. The President act
ed after the dispute was certified to
him by the War Labor board.
Earlier, national CLIO officials had
urged the strikers to return to their
Jobs. At the same time these union
leaders requested the WLB to re-
consider the merits of labor pan
els recommendation of an eight
cents an hour wage increase, which
the WLB had pared down to three
cents.

CHINA:
jap Driues Menace

Chinese official observers had fire.
quently warned United Nations head
quarters that a collapse Of their re-
sistance against Japan was possible
unless Allied air and military aid
was speeded up.
The stark truth of these warnings
became evident as a four-pronged
Japanese drive along the Yangtze
river had reached within only 275
miles of Generalissimo Chang Kali
shek's capital Of Chungking.
Doggedly the Chinese defenders
had contested every mile of territory
with the invaders, even winning To-
cal successes in some areas, notably
Ichang where Chiang's soldiers had
blunted the enemy drive.
But the threat of Nippon's might
was still poised within striking dis
lance Of Chungking and the Allied
high command still faced the prob
lem of abating that threat.

SPENDING:
Curb N0nessentiaIs

Blunt demands for a halt to
''wasteful and unpatriotic expendi-
lures" for government travel and
communication exclusive of the
army and navy-were served by the
congressional joint committee inves-
tigating nonessential federal expend-
itures.
A report by the committee esti-
mated that such expenditures will
total more than 500, 900, 900 this year.
''In my opinion" said Chairman
Harry Byrd of Virginia, "some of
these bills for travelling, telephoning
and telegraphing of certain agencies
of the government are so excessive
as to warrant immediate action by
congress"
The committees report declared
that with the public at large obliged
to reduce travel and communica-
lions, it is no more than fair to ex-
pect their government to do like
wise"

RUSSIA:
Red Po1ver Rises

After the Nazis had tested the
Reds mettle on four separate Sec
tors from VeliN Luki on the north
to the Caucasus on the south, the
Russians themselves provided the
fireworks by hurting $50, 600 infantry
and tank men in a vast assault
against the Axis Kuban lines in the
Caucasus.
While early Russian accounts of
this movement were characteristic
cally 1aconic, Berlin radio dispatch
conceded that the first Russian
waves had thrust the German lines
back more than a mile on the Kuban
front protecting Novorossisk and
added that Nazi defenses were TAX
ing terrific battering everywhere
along their last remaining Caucasus
foothold. Berlin said the Reds en-
ployed 10 divisions, at least ITO tanks,
200 planes and strong artillery
forces.
Whether this Russian move herald
ed the long-awaited summer battle
was still q matter Of conjecture
among observers.

EUROPE:
Bombs Move Factories

AS Allied bonbers continued to
plummet destruction on Axis Euro
pean industrial and transportati
centers, evidence mounted that the
Nazis were seeking to cushion the
impact of these raids by moving
their war industries to less vulner-
able spots in Hungary, Czechoslo-
vakia and Austria.
The dispersal Of German industry
eastward was further indicated by
the fact that Allied reconnaissance
had disclosed no effort to repair or
clear such key installations as the
Focke-Wulf aircraft works in Brem-
en- or the Renault plant near Paris
wrecked by Allied bombs weeks ago.
Grimly and steadily, however, the
Allied airmen continued their mis-
sion of disaster as Axis city after
city was checked off the schedule.
Examples of this thorough job were
Dusseldorf and Dortmund, coal and
transportation centers Of northwest
ern Germany, where 1000 tons of
bombs were dropped on successive
nights by the Raj. The munitions
making city of Essen was likewise
blasted again, while daring Raj
Mosquito bomber pilots penetrated
to the central German city Of Jena,
home Of the Zeiss factories making
optical instruments for the Nazis.
Meanwhile, invasion's prelude was
paced by a series Of port-wrecking
raids by U. S. and British planes
from French Africa on Italian ship
ping cities.
The Sicilian port city Of Messina
received special attention. This key
city which guards the approaches to
the Italian mainland was on the re-
ceiving end of 400 tons of bombs
from Allied bombers in a single raid.
