Hull Cites Awareness.
"The Government and people Of
the United States have been con-
stantly aware of the struggle Of
the Albanian people to preserve the
integrity and independence of their
country" Secretary of State Hull
wrote Charles C. Hart, former
American Minister to Albania, 1t
was disclosed today. He added:
although the Albanian people
have no free governmental organ
ization abroad to symbolic their
national aspirations, we recognize
in their national will the same
ideals and the same principles that
inspire us, along with the other
United Nations, to prosecute to the
end the war that will wipe out the
scourge of Naziism. We look to
them for a united front against the
common enemy"
The steps in the German prep
aration for the restitution of the
monarchy in Albania began with
uncontrolled elections to Parliament
held in October, when approximately
IS members were chosen-including
representatives from the new dis
tricts added to Albania under Nazi
aegis from Greece, Yugosiavia and
Bulgarian Macedonia.
KOnitza Gets Post.
The next step was the creation of
a regency council, appointed with
the consent of the Parliament. Its
head is Mehdi Frasheri, former
prime minister of King Zog, and its
Of foreign affairs is Mehmet
Konitza, brother of the late Faik
Konitza, who was Albanian Minister
here. The Office of foreign affairs
was abolished by the Italians but
restored by the Germans.
The council governs in the alb
sence of king, and Prince William
is said to be the choice. He was
forced to leave Albania in Septem-
Der. 1914. but never abdicated. He
now is living in Germany after
considerable stay in Rumania, where
he retired In exile because of his
disagreement with the Nazi policies
in Germany.
Until few days ago Prince Will
liam was one of three men claiming
the Albanian throne. Another is
former King Zog, in exile in Eng
land. A third is King Victor EN-
manuel OF Italy, who was emperor
of Albania until December /, when
the Badoglio government reportedly
withdrew the title from him.
Albania is useful economically to
the Nazis through its production of
oil and chromium. However, opposi-
ton to the Nazis is energetic, and
the guerrillas of Albania are in COM
with Greek and Yugo-
slav forces.

Democracy is the word the Ger

Events in Albania have impor-

WASHINGTON - The only al
tentative to the labor budget plan
advocated by Bernard NJ. Baruch's
report and now operating on the
West Coast, is national service
legislation, Baruch told James F..
Byrnes, Director of Economic Sta
bilization.
In his report, made public by
Senator Vandenberg, Baruch stat
ed:
This Labor Budget Plan repre-
sents more drastic controls than
any yet introduced in any COM
munity. Manufacturers will have
to forego their right to hire as
many workers as they please and
be contented only with the num-
bers allotted them, according to
priority.
workers will be limited in their
choice of jobs. No one would sug-
gest such controls in peace time
But the only alternative to some

Liberty Ships Win Proise

WASHINGTON.-The new Lib
erty Ships are rapidly winning un-
reserved praise from hard-bitten
marine officers who have spent
their lives aboard ships and judge
performance on the basis of long
experience.
Chairman Emory S. Land, of
the U. S. Maritime Commission,
has forwarded to workers at two
shipyards reports he has received
from the veteran officers of two
ships.
One, the chief engineer of the
William A. Graham, which recent
ly made port after 10000 miles on
the high seas, praised the work
manship of the shipworkers at the
North Carolina Shipbuilding Corp.
in Wilmington, N. c. The ship
he said, 'in all kind of weather
and seas always came in on
time" He called the ship "the
incest piece of work (seen) in all
my years at sea-"
A similar message also went to
the AFL workers at the California
Shipbuilding Corp. at Wilmington,
Calf, who produced the John M.
Clayton, completing $4,000 sea
miles through war zones. There
is not a better ship built or an
easier one to operate" the Clay
tons chief engineer declared

Red Cedor Single
Prices Adjusted

Red Cedar shingles may be sold
and delivered on an adjustable
pricing basis pending action on
a petition filed by producers which
requests an increase in ceiling
prices, Wytze Gorter, district
price officer, Office of Price Adj
ministration, announced today.
Producers claim higher maxi
mum prices are necessary because
of increased production costs.
While the petition is being
studied, OPA has authorized
sellers to make sales and deliveries
with an agreement between buyer
and seller that the price may be
adjusted upward in accordance
with any ceiling price increase
which may be granted. TIL S
amendment is effective next Mon
day, Sept. Z.

NATIONAL SERVICE LEGISLATION

plan of this sort is a National
Service Act for the drafting OF
labor, which carries with it ire
mendous implications and would
take time to get. Plane production
cannot wait.
Without arguing the merits OF
a national service act-which is
for Congress to decide-it can be
said that everything called for in
this labor budget plan would be
necessary in the administration Of
such an act.
1--WE have always felt that the
American people will voluntarily
do what is wanted and why, and
feel that they are being treated
fairly.
"The planes lost each month be-
cause of insufficient labor are
equivalent to the number Of planes
lost in several days combat. BY
adopting and enforcing this plan
we can offset these battle losses.

PULLMAN, Wash.-In offering
the facilities of the State College
for the promotion of the alumina
industry, President f. 0. Holland
declares:
'T am convinced a good deal
more research work should be car
ried on in the light metals, ana
new economic processes developed
If we do not do this, there is a
likelihood that many of these fac
tories will be torn down or aban-
doned when they should be trans
formed into plants producing ma
terial that can be utilized IN this
region and also sent to other parts
of the country"
