Eden 10 See Maisky

Hope Of Soviet Talks
Three-Porty Conferences
At Least of Foreign
Ministers Seen
By the Associsted Press.

BY the Associsted Press.
LONDON, Aug. 30.-Specula-
ton on the possibility of an
early Anglo Russian American
conference was given new
boost today when it was learned
that Foreign Secretary Anthony
Eden will meet both Ivan Maisky,
former Russian Ambassador to
Great Britain, and United States
Ambassador John G. Winant to-
morrow.
The meeting between representa-
tives of the three big powers might
have been held even earlier, diplo-
matte sources indicated, except for
the fact that Mr.. Eden is reporting
today to his war cabinet colleagues
on the results of the Quebec con-
ferences between President Roose-
velt and Prime Minister Churchill.
Many diplomatic observers are
convinced that Mr.. Eden. Mr.
Maiskey and Mr. Winant will con-
slider the possibilities of joint. per-
Sonal, three-poWer conversations, at
least on the foreign minister level"
1t was announced yesterday that
Mr. Eden had returned to England
by plane from Quebec and at the
same time it was reported that Mr..
Maisky, replaced in Britain as Am
bassador recently, had returned.
The Daily Mail, featuring the
story, said tri-partite conference
probably would take place within
two weeks either in London or Mos
COW or "at some intermediate spot"
1t said Mr.. Eden would represent
Great Britain and Foreign Commits
sar Vyacheslav Molotov would rep
resent Russia, while a ranking
American delegate would be chosen
by President Roosevelt. The Daily
Mail limited that the latter might
be Norman H. Davis, formerly
Mr.. Roosevelt's special Ambassador
in Europe, who is now in London on
Red Cross business.

HOME FRONT:
FDR Meets Labor Leaders

Answering labor's complaint
against the stabilization of wages in
the face of per cent increase in
the cost of living since last year,
President Roosevelt promised AFL
and CIO leaders that the retail prices
would be rolled back through pro-
ducers' or professors subsidies.
FDR met with the labor leaders
even as there were rumblings of
discomfort among the railway unions
over wage raises. The non-operat-
ing railway union was kicking be-
cause Economic Sterilization Direc-
tor Fred Vinson had set aside an
eight-cents-an-hour pay boost rec
ommended by government media

way unions claimed they were Gin

els award of a four-cents-
increase after they had asked for
three dollars day.
In hearings before the War Labor
board, Alabama and eastern coal
operators objected to new contract
between Illinois operators and the
United Mine Workers, which would
boost daily wages between $1.50 and
SITS by increasing the working day
to 81z hours, including all travel
time to and from the pits.

ITALY:
Ne,U Difficulties

To add to the Allies difficulties
In Italy, heavy rain has slogged the
countryside, and new burdens have
been imposed on the lines of COM
munication bringing supplies to the
front
Because of the inability of motor
vehicles to operate over the muddy
and mountainous terrain, the Al
lies are relying increasingly on
horses, burros and mules. But they
are finding it hard to obtain them
since the Germans took most of
these animals out of southern Italy
or shot those they could not take,
and the Fighting French have been
unwilling to give up the horses, etc.,
they have in North Africa for fear
of breaking up their mounted units.
Encouraged by Allied difficulties,
Nazi Marshal Kesselring repeatedly
has reinforced his army fighting a
logged delaying action in the rugged
country. After retreating from the
Volturno river line, the Germans
took up positions on the 2,500-foot-
high Massico ridge, where they were
expected to make another stand be-
fore dropping back to the mountains
farther north.

Try to Maintain Morale

On October II, 1918, Germany's
General Eric Ludendorff declared:
. "The tension of the individual man
has reached a degree which cannot
be increased"
Not long after Germany cracked
under the strain, and steely, dynam-
ic General Ludendorff fell apart with
the rest. Today, Germany's Hitler,
Goebbels and Goering remember
1918, and the Nazis are working
feverishly to hold up the peoples
morale against the Allies shattering
air attacks.
Hitler has ordered the construc-
tion of underground concrete hospit-
ais in battle zones, as well as first
aid posts and auxiliary hospitals in
the cellars of the most solid build
ings. Newspapers are carrying on
a concerted campaign to educate the
people in treatment of eye injuries
caused by the heat, smoke, dust,
glass-splinters and phosphorus clouds
generated by bombing raids.

SURGERY: A new thread" for
suturing arm and leg nerves and for
other delicate operations, is being
used by army surgeons. The
thread is extremely fine wire, al
most invisible to the naked eye. 1t

Surgeons say one of the advantages
of tantalum wire sutures is that they
can be observed by X-ray during the
healing process.
ADMIRAL: Sir Dudley Pound, re-
Gently retired admiral of the British

48-HOUR WEEK:
For More Production

To meet the demand for record
production, the War Manpower COM
mission ordered II different areas to
go on a 48 hour week, and advised
112 others to prepare to shift to the
longer work period.
To make up for the shortage of
manpower, the VINO determined on
the 48 hour week to get more pro-
duction per person. Previously, the
48 hour week had been in effect in
40 out of II areas where the VINO
had declared labor scarcity exist
ed. Now, the remaining 81 areas
must go on the longer week.
In the other 112 areas, the VINO
saw the possibility of labor short
age. If such a shortage impends,
preparations will be made to meet
it before it occurs to interfere with
production.
The 48-hour week already has been
instituted in such industries as log
ging, non-ferrous mining and smelt-
ing, and iron and steel.

lion dollars, or two-thirds, while the
British Empire controls almost four
billion dollars.
Of the remaining gold supply, over
four billion dollars is in the hands of
Germany and Japan as result of

sesses no more than 20 million dol
lars of gold, while Japan mas 164
million dollars. South American gold

AS Russian troops poured across

Upon the shoulders of Hitler's
army fell the gigantic task of blunt

Ukraine's broad plains and trap the
Germans from behind while they
held the line against other Red
