The CIO, Hillman said, is "deter-
mined to set up political machinery
in every ward, district, county
and state where industrial workers
are organized in order to bring
labors weight to bear on the cleo
tions."
The program was adopted unani-
mously. Immediate campaigns to
register every voter and work out
plans for local cooperation of all
labor on the political fronts were
outlined at the meeting.

Non Bonus Workers Get Increase
An increase of sc per hour for
all non bonus workers of the
Spicer Mfg. Co. was granted by
the War Labor Board, in a direc-
tive handed down this week. In
creases granted are retroactive to
Sept. 20, 1912.
The Spicer Company has met
the War Labor Board directive
with an appeal for price relief, on
the grounds that the increase
granted the non bonus workers
will increase the cost of their
products and therefore necessitate
adjustments in their contracts with
the Government.
If investigation reveals that the
Company's contention is true, final
decision will be rendered by Eco

for peoples everywhere and over
look. the denial of the right to
vote for millions of our own peo-
pie. We cannot offer the blue
prints and skills to rebuild the
bombed out cities of other lands
and stymie the rebuilding of our
own cities. Slums have no place
in America. We cannot assist in
binding the wounds of a war
stricken world and fail to safe
guard the health Of our own peo-
Pile. We cannot hope to raise the
literacy Of other nations and fail
to roll back the ignorance that
clouds many communities in many
sectors of our own nation.
Outlines Nations Assets
Wallace defended himself
against those who accuse him of
being a wild-eyed dreamer. He
listed Americas assets when
the guns stop" as follows:
/. Manpower by the millions.
2. The largest industrial plant
capacity in the world,
8. The greatest resources, both
natural and artificial, to make
peacetime products, and thousands
Of new inventions waiting to be
converted to peacetime use.
45, The largest scientific farm
plant in the world.
5. The biggest backlog of re-
quirements for housing, transpor-
tation, communications and living
comforts.
6. The greatest reserve of ac-
cumulated savings by individuals
that any nation has ever known.
States Belief in Capitalism
IL believe in our democratic,
capitalistic system, said Mr..
Wallace, but specified, sit must be
a capitalism of abundance and
full employment. If we return to
a capitalism Of scarcity such as
that which produced both 1929
and 1882, we must anticipate that
the returning soldiers and dis
placed war workers will speak in
no uncertain terms"
r. J. Thomas, International
President Of the UAW-CIO in
troduced the vice-president and
referred to him as "the architect
and crusader for a new world.
Mr.. Thomas told the vice-presi-
dent, mot all the enemies of dem
ocracy, abroad and right here at
home, will prevail against you.
You have behind you the men and
women who build America in
peacetime, and who produce its
weapons and fight its battles in
wartime.
Endorses Plans
Thomas told the vice-president,
your plans and aspirations for
better world are also our plans
and hopes. Your political and in
dustrial enemies are but puny,
selfish voices which the torrent of
the peoples wrath will, in due
time, drown into silence.
Thousands of workers and liber-
ais who heard the vice-president's
talk cheered his telling points and
greeted his sallies against the re-
actionaries and American fascists
with thunderous applause.
Mr.. Wallace was a guest Sun
day morning at a breakfast in his
honor and told his hosts that the
safety Of the world depends on
raising the standards of living of
Asia's millions, lest they rise up
a hundred years from now as
have nots'."

NelJ 5 program.
The delegates voted unanimous
ly to support the program of the
CIO Political Action Committee
and its call for formation of
United Labor League for action
in the political arena.
Sidney Hillman, president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
and chairman Of the committee,
declared the meeting highly sue
cessful. Labor here in the heart
Of industrial America is becoming
aroused to the necessity for po-
litical organization, Hillman said.
II really expected not more than
100 delegates, but there were at
least $50"
Oppose Third Party
At the conference Hillman made
clear that the CIO program op-
poses national third party, but
insists that all labor-AFL, CIO
and railroad brotherhood-join to-
gether in nonpartisan campaigns
for those who fully support the
war-front and home-front politics
of the President
I'VE oppose a third party" Hill
man told the delegates, because
aside from the technical problem
of placing third party on the bal
lot in 1914, such a party would
serve to divide and divert labor
and progressive forces, resulting
in the election of our political
enemies"
Neighborhood work was stressed.

Mary is a mistress of makeup
and usually hers defies detection,
so skillfully does IL blend with her

night, with equal skill, she had
made herself into almost carica-

which for me had a tinge OF dia-

She still had on that unbecom-
ing gown. but while I knew that
Mar aS herself could have made
every one forget what she wore
in her present makeup she had
made the gown obtrude its bad
taste most effectively.
But when Mary spoke realized
Just what she was doing. and the
knowledge came with shock.

with high, inane giggle, which
somehow held melody but was a
caricature OF Mary's real laugh.

New Goggles
ForGunners

Southbridge, Mass, July 26-(UP)
The manufacture of new military
goggles which enable gunners to fol-
low the path If tracer bullets in day
light was revealed today by the
army and American Optical Co.
The new goggles are being issued
to certain divisions of The army,
navy and marine corps to simplify
the gunner's job and enable him to
score more direct hits on enemy tar
gets.
Filters wearing the goggles can
work under full illumination, thus
eliminating the 30-minute-p period
previously spent in a dark room to
condition eyes for night flights.
The goggles were developed by
American Optical Co. scientists and
are fitted with red plastic lenses
which act as a light filter by ex-
Guiding all night except that at the
red end of the spectrum. Adaptation
to darkness is possible because the
night-vision red cells of the retina
are insensitive to red light.
The all-purpose goggles may be
fitted with clear plastic lenses to
protect eyes against wind and dust,
with green plastic to guard against
the suns glare, and with yellow
lenses to brighten up targets on
cloudy days.

Back On
Sicily Front
By VIRGIL PINKLEY

UNITED Press Staf Correspondent
Allied Headquarters, North Africa,
July 26.-UP)-Allied troops drove
the Axis deeper into its last foot
hold of northeastern Sicily today as
the Americans captured the port of
Termini Imerese, 20 miles southeast
of Palermo, and boosted their num-
Der of prisoners to more than 10000.
AS the final lunge to crush the
enemy on Sicily approached, the
German and italian forces fell back
to a line starting in the foothills
of Mt. Etna south of Catania and
running north and west to San Ste
fano on the north coast. The enemy
held coastline already had been re-
duced to little more than 1876 miles.
Sweeping eastward to help jam
the Axis farther back on its escape
| bridgehead on the Straits of Mes
sina, the American Seventh Army
took 1000 new prisoners including
six Italian generals and an ad-
miral.
Axis resistance stiffened as the
combined British, American and
Canadian drive under continuous air
support drove the enemy back with
pressure from all sides.
Lieut.. Gen. George S. Patton's
forces strengthened their hold on
the northern coastal road on which
Termini Imerese is a major point.
The capture of the new generals
brought the total of italian generals
now in Allied hands to 10.

Allied Headquarters, North Africa,
July &c - (UP) - The fall of Mus
solini is the most momentous de-
velopment in the war to date and
the first question that follows is:
Will Marshal Pietro Badoglio find
a way to break with Germany?
That Badoglio will look for way
is obvious to one who knows Italy.
How else could the advent of a
known enemy of Mussolini and OF
Fascism at Italy's helm be regarded?
I am sure the italian people know
Badoglio didn't take over just to
follow Mussolini'S policies. And
they also must know that Mussollnl
didn't desert until the raid on Rome
and the defeat in Sicily made nm
sense inevitable disaster.
The development created great
excitement here. Mussolini's resig-
nation was expected of course, but
not so soon. The next thing that
must be ascertained before Badog-
los course can be judged is Ger
many's reaction.
Two Possible Steps
Hitler,s men in Italy seem to have
only one of two possible steps: l..
They must pull out entirely, giving
up Italy to her own future; or 2.
They must suddenly cease the role
of a gestapo over Italy and take
open steps to make the Italians stay
in the war.

BY HENRY SHAPIRO

UNITED Press Staff Correspondent
Moscow, July 26 - (UP) - Soviet
military advances said today that
the Germans were wrecking Orel in
apparent preparation for with
drawal and the Red Army was ex-
pected to drive into it at any time.
Front reports said Russian
column driving behind Orel from
the north had cut the railroad to
Bryansk and advanced to bring I'M
der fire the highway paralleling the
line about 20 miles to the south.
The plight of the German garri-
son described as critical. Its sole
route of retreat from Irel, against
which Soviet troops were advance
ing from three directions, was said
to be a dirt road angling down to
the southwest.
That the Germans realized their
peril was indicated by reports that
they were engaged in the methodl-
cal demolition of Orel which evid-
emily made clear their intentions of
giving it up rather than face the
growing threat of another Stain
grad disaster.
Expect Shambles
Field reports said that when the
Red Army drives into Orel-it was
reported attacking the city itself
last week-it would find shambles
like Stalingrad, Rzhev and dozens
of other recaptured towns.
Observers back from the front
reported that all the villages in
