Communists Backed Hague
To Thwort COP Browder Says

United States Army. Strictly speak
ing, 1t is illegal for a Communist
to draw his pay when he is indicted
into the Army, since the appropria-
lions carry provisions that none Of
the money shall be used to pay for
the services of Communists.
ANY one even suspected of being
friendly to Communists is bounded
out of the Government service. We
propose that this maze of Hitherto
laws, and the attitude which
prompted them, should be abolished
and Communists treated like other
citizens"
Mr.. Browder concluded by asking
if exceptional laws against Com
munists could continue to be justi-
fled because these Communists,
in urging an end to the factional
fight in the New Jersey Democratic
party" reasoned differently than
non Communists.
The Endorsement of Mr.. Hague, on
the ground he supported President
Roosevelt's win the war" poll
cies, was contained in an article
by William Norman, secretary of
the New Jersey Communists, and
published in the Daily Worker,
Communist newspaper. on July 6.

0PA and VIA Disagree
On Future Egq Supply

The Office of Price Administra-
ton and the War Food Administra-
ton today took opposite views of the
countrys egg supplies, with the for
mer warning of critical egg short
age by next December and the latter
holding firm to its contention that
egg production promises to give civil
ians more than the usual supply.
President Roosevelt's attention
was called to the difference of opin-
ions at his press conference today.
Warning against using generalities
in such matters, the President said,
for example. that he had lots of
eggs at his Hyde Park IN. " farm
and that he was actually selling
some.
A spokesman for the OPA warned.
however, that lit will be the worst
egg shortage in this Nations his
tory" and that it will be accom-
panied by a bad black market"
He said no plan for rationing is
being considered because of the diff
culties of controlling the supply from
farms throughout the country.
VIA officials agree with OPA on
the huge task of control, but they
insist that increased egg production
in 1943 is expected to be SUFFICIENT
to provide for demands of our armed
forces and our Allies, and still leave
an ample supply for civilians.

Allies to accede to the strange re-
quest.
1t was considered much more de-
sirable that the men become self
sufficient than to be kept idle in a
camp in the United States or Eng
land. where they would be a distinct
liability.
The moral effect of the action has
had important repercussions. The
number of soldiers surrendering has
been increased considerably and the
civilian population of villages in
Sicily behind enemy lines has
heightened the warmth of it's well
come to the Allies and extended its
collaboration as we'll.
This partially explains the rapid
progl ess in Central and Western
Sicily of 1t. Gen. George S. Patton,
jr.'s, 7th Army in the last few days.
Italian casualties are said to have
been relatively light and there has
been little hand-to-hand fighting.
Many Italians have been killed, it
is true. but it can be assumed that
many were caused by German ma
chineguns and artillery placed be-
hind the Italian divisions.

NEW YORK, July 23.-Earl
Browder, general secretary of the
Communist party in the United
States, commenting on the recent
Endorsement OF Mayor Frank Hague
of Jersey City by the New Jersey
Communist party, said today the
action was designed to prevent
Republican victory in the State.
In a letter published in the New

said:
The simple fact is, of course,
that the Communists merely joined
in the advice given by many 9TH

in the factional fight in the New

ing President Roosevelt's war pro-

There are laws on the statute
books which make it crime for

American Forces Take Palermo

Nays Big Guns Smash at Kiska

Attack Runwuy
In Aleutiuns

United States heavy and light
surface units bombarded Japa-
neSe positions on Kiska Island
in the Aleutians yesterday, the
Navy announced today. The
enemy returned the fire, but in
f1icted no damage.
The bombardment was the eighth
this month. While the previous at
tacks have been carried out by what
the Navy called a light surface
unit" the communique today would
indicate that either battleships or
heavy cruisers or possibly both have
moved into the area to take part in
the softeningup maneuvers which
usually precede an invasion by am
phibious forces.
The attack was made by war
ships which the communique de-
scribed only as heavy and light
surface units"
May Have Used 16-inch Guns.
A Navy spokesman said heavy
fleet units could include modern
battleships with 16-inch guns, older
capital ships with l4-inch guns or
heavy cruisers with 8-inch cannon
Light units include destroyers and
light cruisers.
Army Liberatcr heavy bombers
bombed the runway and the main
camp area at Kiska Wednesday in
this months 18th air attack. The
Navy reported that numerous hits
were scored and several fires started
Word of the attack conceded with
an Associated Press dispatch from
Alaskan headquarters today report
ing that the japanese had finally
completed a 3,700-foot runway on
Kiska. The Liberator bombers Cb-
viously intended to undo much OF
the work accomplished.
In the South Pacific the japanese
bombed the American base on
Funafuti in the Ellice Islands
While two japanese bombers were
shot down, they inflicted some dam
age to personnel. Damage to in
stallations was not reported.
Second Bombing of Week.
The japanese came over the
Funatuti base early yesterday for
the second bombing since American
forces established themselves there
Naval spokesman were unable to
say why the japanese had stepped
up their attacks on Funafuti. How
ever, it was suggested they wished
to knock out this island outpost to
force the United States to return to
its roundabout supply line to the
South Pacific forces in the Solomon
Islands.
The Funafuti base, Just south of
the japanese base at Tarawa in the
Gilbert Islands, is a menace to that
point. Also it acts as an outer guard
for the shortened ship lanes between
the United States and the South
Pacific bases.
1t also is stepping stone in the
direction of the gigantic Jap surface
and air base at Truk.

New Sterilization Plan
Under Consideration,
President Reveals
Says He Does Not View
AFL-ClO Statement
As on UItimutum

President Roosevelt said today
consideration is being given to a
new plan for price sterilization.
but declined to 60 into details at
this time.
The President made the disclosure
at his press conference when he was
asked to comment on the declaration
yesterday by the combined Labor
War Board-his unofficial labor
cabinet" that organized labor
would not support the sterilization
program unless prices were rolled
back to the level of September Is
1912.
The President said the way the
question was posed sounded as II
the labor leaders had served him
with an ultimatup. He declared
that he didn't view it in that light
and didn't believe that was the in
tention of the board, for whom Will
liam Green, president of the AFL,
and Philip Murray, president OF
CLIO, acted as spokesman.
Congress Would Have to Act.
Mr.. Roosevelt said that If any
bright person could explain how
prices could be brought back to the
September Is level the administra-
ton would be grateful
Labor, he added, is in the same
predicament as every one else with
costs rising and wages stable.
The President said the plan under
consideration probably would have
to be put up to Congress because
it would cost money. The admins
tration has been seeking to stabilize
prices by the use of subsidies.
The C1O-AFL demands came yes
terday coincident with impending
labor shortages which brought hints
of labor policy shifts on the part
of the War Manpower Commission.
Increasing Problem Seen.
