SENATOR TAFT
 SCORES RULING
Administrations Policy. Toward Press, Radio
 Attacked

Washington, July '. UP) - Attacking the administrations pol icy toward radio and the press, Sen- ator Robert A. Taft, R., Ohio, today demanded that augmented poWer granted the Federal Communlca~ tions Commission by a recent su- preme court decision be suspended until Congress has an opportunity to study the whole program Of radlo regulation"
 "Only in this way can we defeno ourselves against the most serlous infringement on the right of free dom of speech which has occurred since the bill of rights was adopted Taft said in a speech prepared fol delivery in the Senate.
 The supreme courts ruling, in the course of defining contractural reg ulations between networks and af' filiated stations, "goes far beyond any intent of Congress which car be read into the federal communi- cations act," Taft said.
 The regulations upheld by the court tend to destroy the whole sys- tenn of affiliated stations" Taft declared. Congress should proceed at once to amend the federal con- munications act to define the liml- tations of the EGGS authority, he concluded. Senator Burton K. Wheeler, D., Mont, has introduced bill for this purpose, but has de- layed hearings on it until fall.

Washington, July 2 - U.P) - Rudolph Forster, 70, virtually un- known to the public but for 46 years highly esteemed and frequently honored by the nations presidents, died unexpectedly today in his Washington apartment.
 Since 1897 Forster had served on the White House staff under eight presidents. He was chief clerk of the White House executive offices.
 His death saddened everyone in the White House from President Roosevelt down. In the words of White House press Secretary Ste phen T. Early, |" ticaused real tears of mourning
 Forster put in full days work yesterday and appeared to be in good health. He started to work at the White House under President William Mckinley and worked his way up to a position which to the public may not have seemed tre- mendously important but actually is a post of great responsibility Through Forster's hands passed eX-

Washington, Ju;y 7.-UP)-AFL leader John P Frey. experimenting a major new test of the administra- tion's wage stabilization proram, toit the War Labor Board today that it must approve wage increas- es for 100000 shipbuilding workers if the government is to fulfill ts promises to labor.
 Frey, President of the American Federation of Labor Metal Trades department, said at WLB hear ing that the workers employed by 188 shipyardrs rust have wage in- creases to meet rising living costs.
 He reminded the boardr that the shipbuilders last year accepted lower rates than they had asked in exchange for promise that wages would be adjusted if the ad- ministration failed to hold the price line.
 Frey said the shipbuilding case was "by far the most important" ever to come before the WLB be- cause it involved tho "shipyard workers confidence in the integrity of their government" he told the board some workers are complain ing that they were "jockeyed out of what they were promised in an agreement with their own govern ment" as result of concessions made by the uniones ill nationwide stabilization agreement last year.
 Frey charged President Roosevelt's executive orders affected wages denied labor what it had been prom ised. He presented figures showing increases in food prices in various cities since January, 1941. He said food prices in San Francisco are fantastic" and listed items showing increases of 100 to 400 per cent.
 Under the WLB's Little Steel'' wage ceiling formula, wages may be increased only 15 per cent to offset living cost increases from Jan. l, 1941. to May, 1942.
 we are conscious of the damagers of inf1ation," Frey said. "The gov renment is justified in reducing the danger. But nothing could be more dangerous than telling labor that the promises made by your govern ment won't be kept

 across Kula Gulf from New Georgia
 Violent explosions and fires fol- lowed the air attack, MacArthur' $ communique said. Seven Japanese Zero fighters intercepted the raid- CTS, but escorting American Wild cats shot down four of them.
 American torpedo and dive bomb- CTS also dropped 26 tons of explo- sives on Bairoka Harbor, supply har- Dor for Munda on the northwestern coast of New Georgia.
 Eighteen enemy bomberS struck at American positions on Rendova shortly after noon yesterday, causing moderate casualties and damage, but three were shot down by anti-air- craft fire.
 A delayed dispatch from Rendova disclosed that seabees, naval con- struction workers, followed combat troops ashore on that island last week and immediately began build ing roads and supply dumps.
 Allied and Japanese planes also swapped blows over a wide area of the southwest Pacific theater.
 American forces, having won the first round of the contest for naval supremacy in the Central Solomons, were on the alert today for other possible hit-and-run attacks by enemy Warships.
 The present indications are that neither side has yet risked its main naval forces. Apparently only cruis- CTS and destroyers have been used. For one thing, the narrow waters in the area around Munda, and especially in Kula Gulf, would pre- clude the use of battleships. The Japanese appear to be fol- lowing the same tactics they en- ployed during the battle for Guad- alcanal when they sneaked task forces into the area for hit-and- run raids. These proved costly to the Japanese.
 The Japanese are now in a bet ter position to harrass the newly won American positions in the Gen. tral SolomonS because their naval vessels are nearer their bases than during the Guadalcanal campaign. Furthermore, they have strong air bases on Bougainville Island in the northwest Solomons to provide aerial coverage.
 Taking all those factors in con- sideration it appeared unlikely that the purpose of the American opera tions in the Central Solomons is to suck the main Japanese fleet into the area for decisive naval en- gagement. It would sem more req sonable to assume that the Amer ican high command would prefer to meet the Japanese on the high seas, safe distance from land based aircraft.

Future Deportations to Be Directed By Registry

Washington, July 7-CUP)-The Senate has unanimously passed a House-approved bill giving the gov ernment authority to deport citizens of a country whose government is in exile to the country wherein the exiled government is located.

 Under the new ruling motorists will be allowed the special privilege only if they have sufficient "A' cou- pons and there is no other means of transportation to the desired vaca- tion spot.
 Ration officials believe very few car owners will meet the OPA quail ifications, pointing out "A' coupons have been used constantly and very few large savings have been made, and that use of the coupons for a long trip would eliminate possibility of other essential use of the car.
 The current "A" coupons expire July 21, with the next series start ing to take effect the following day. A directive on the procedure to be followed in issuing permission to qualified motorists is awaited by the local board.
