fed.
The survey revealed very little

the Southeast, locally in the in

relatively small areas in the North
Central sections and in some States
in the West.
The Middle Atlantic drought area

WLB Rejects
Lewis Second
Portal Pay Bid
Other Sections of
Illinois Contract
Are Approved
By the Associated Press.

The War Labor Board has re-
Jected John L. Lewis second bid
for portal-to-portal pay for his
United Mine Workers.
The board voted, 8 to 4, against
approving provision In a contract
between the UNIV and the Illinois
Coal Operators Association whereby
the miners would receive SIPS a day
additional to cover their under
ground travel time. Labor members
OF the board cast the dissenting vote.
WLB sources said the board made
the decision yesterday. 1t approved
other provisions of the contract, in
Guiding one which permits payment
OF time and half for the eighth
hour In any day. The miners are
now on a seven-hour productive day.
One clause in the contract states
that the respective provisions are
lnterdependent" and therefore
binding on the parties only If all
provisions are approved
No Comment From Lewis.
An unofficial explanation at WLB
Offices is that the parties cannot
preclude the board from acting on
each provision separately but. since
1t is a voluntary agreement, the
parties may put in effect any or all
OF the approved provisions or dis
card them, as they wish.
UNIV headquarters said Mr.. Lewis
would have no comment.
The board voted on a motion
offered by Matthew Woll, AFL men,
Der, who is preparing a minority
opinion. Chairman William H.
Davis is preparing the majority
opinion.
The Illinois agreement was the
occasion for Mr.. Lewis recognition
OF the WLB, after period in which
he ignored or defied it. He sub
mitted the agreement to the board
for approval and appeared at
hearing in support of it. just prior
to that Congress enacted the War
Labor Disputes Act, which gave the

'0PA Denies VioIators
Will Go Free When
Driving Ban Ends
No Definite Date Set
For Final Lifting Of
Restrictions in East

Motorists against whom pleas
ure-driving cases are still pend
Ing when the restriction is lifted
will not escape hearings and
penalties if they are guilty, the
Office of Price Administration
made it plain today.
Although OPA officials would not
predict that the pleasure driving
ban would be ended September or
shortly thereafter, letter already
has been prepared on the disposition
of cases which are still pending at
the time the ban is lifted.
The policy of the OPA was ex-
pressed by Thomas I. Emerson, as
sociate general counsel in charge of
enforcement:
Local boards will be required to
hold hearings and revoke or suspend
rations of violators of the ban even
though the cases are not reported
or called for hearing until the ban
is lifted
Previous Policy Cited.
When the previous pleasure driv-
ing ban ended last spring, an order
was sent out from National OPA
to district and local boards in
structing them to dismiss all cases
pending at the time the restrictions
ceased. AS a result, hundreds of
drivers in the District alone escaped
hearings which would have brought
revocation or suspension of rations
for many of them.
An OPA official admitted that
the instructions to the local boards
governing their conduct of the cases
when the current ban ends are uto
few weeks of the restrictions. Local
OPA Offices already have been Or
dered strictly to enforce the ban
until it is lifted.
About 80 per cent of the motor
lists in the East have obeyed the
regulations" the official said. 1T

LONDON, Aug. 25.-The Red
Army continued today to ham

mans retreating from Kharkov,
and a Soviet communique an
nounced new successes all along
the line as the Russian forces
drove toward Poltava, IS miles
to the southwest and little more
than half way to the Nazis'
Dnieper River defense line.
The war bulletin-broadcast from
Moscow-said the Nazis, exhausted
by the battle for Kharkov, were
rushing reserves into the line, but in
spite of this the Red Army ad-
vanced both south and west of
the city, killing 1000 Germans and
disabling Is tanks in sharp fighting
Northwest of the city other units of
the Russian Army captured several
villages.
The communique indicated the
German retreat from Kharkov was
reaching the proportions of a rout,
with the Nazi troops abandoning
considerable stocks of war material
and armored equipment.
German losses in armored equip
ment and planes were reported run
ming high as the Nazis recklessly
expended their strength in a vain
effort to stem the Russian surge.
The communique said that on Mon
day alone the Red Army had de-
stroyed II tanks and LOG planes in
lighting on all fronts.
The Kharkov area continued to be
the focal point of the Russian ad-
vance. The fall of the city gave the
Soviets several objectives to aim at,
but the most likely choice was
Poltava with Kiev, Ukrainian capital

The American Chief Executive

ended yesterday, to extend virtual
invitation to the Axis In Europe to
lay down its arms now. in an address
from the archway OF the Peace
Tower IN the main parliamentary
building of the Dominion.

agreed at Quebec. III

The talks in Quebec, the President
said, dealt constructively with a de-
termination to achieve victory in
the shortest possible time" and with
"our essential cooperation with our
great and brave fighting Allies"
Some of his listeners thought they
detected there veiled reference to
Russia, since the President and Mr..
Churchill had spoken at Quebec OF

which the Soviet government would
be represented.
1t is no secret, Mr.. Roosevelt said,
that there was much talk of the
