MAST-HICH BOMB
 TEST GOES OVER

Guadalcanal, May 16. - (UP) - (Delayed) - South Pacific flyers carried out an extensive test of mast-high bombing that resulted in hits on three cargo vessels in as many days.
 The technique was little differ ent from that used in the South west Pacific. Instead of skip bombing" - bouncing them off the water = the torpedo plane pilots tried for direct hits with their explosives.
 The three ships were damaged badly by fires and explosions. Not a plane was lost in the raids which ranged toward Bougainville in the SolomonS.
 "The results are encouraging, " said Lieutenant Commander F. L. AshWorth of Dedham, Mass, the squadron leader who scored a hit last night.
 were still working with the idea. It takes experience and training before we can attain at a high ex- pectancy of hits"
 The torpedo planes aim squarely at the ships sides, then pull out at barely 200 feet. The pilots met heavy anti aircraft fire from shore batteries at Olei harbor, near Kisili, but went in to try for targets an- chored in the harbor there.

Vogt, blind war plant worker, in talk delivered be- fore the Kiwanis Club meeting held yesterday at the Elton at noon. He explained how Alba" many times stopped her master within one Of two feet of the path of an oncom- ing car, and directed him to safety. Alba" has been with MT. Vogt for the past seven years, having been acquired at the seeing-eye school at Morristown, N. J.

Definite Moue To Aid China Next War Effort Experts Do Not Believe Full-Scale Second Front to Be Established in Europe This Year
 Limited Invasion Possible

cards. Every effort would be made. of course, to hold any European bridgeheads, but full strength wouldn't be thrown into the breach unless surprising weaknesses were found, or there were signs of an imminent German collapse. China s precarious internal condition makes a major move in the Orient, prob ably Burma drive almost impera- tive. There's real fear that China might collapse + it were forced to carry on another year almost alone, while Allied attention was concen- trated predominantly on Europe. And the shipping situation would probably preclude full-scale drives in both theaters.
 
 A spot survey in several cities shows that shoplifting, always a he dache for grocers, has increased since rationing. Small expensive items, easily secreted, have been the perennial favorites but now fred point items-eanned meats and fish and dairy products-have be- come the shoplifters' special prey.
 
 Industry soon will feel the impact Of the WIPES decision that America finally has enough war plants to lick the Axis. The stopper being placed on new construction and ma- chine-tool production will bring some startling results. Some of the largest plants now under construc- ton won't be completed.
 
 Labor experts wouldn't be sur prised if Lewis and his miners would return to the AFG. They point to the recent defense of the miners stand (though not of Lew1s) by Matthew Roll, AFL vice president, as evidence that the federation and Lewis see eye to eye on that issue, at least.
 Metal miners who were fur loughed from the Army are drifting away from the mines they were re- leased to work, Washington hears. As many as half the furloughed personnel in some mines has disap- peared. Because of this, the WIPE may oppose the release of more soldiers for such work.
 It's now conclusively established that the Nazi trade expert, Dr. Earl Clodius, failed in his effort to get the Turkish chrome agreement with Germany liberalized. The original pact gave the Germans 45,00O tons in each of the first and second quarters of 1943 and 90,000 tons in 1944, but the Reich was required to make prior delivery of an equivalent value of arms. Despite dire need, as evidenced by diligent working of Balkan mines and rigorous chrome conservation at home the NaZis qualified for only a minor fraction of the first quarter allotment and got out even less because of Turkish transportation snarls. Clodius' pleas and threats failed to get the terms eased. Note that some experts credit the German crackup in tho last war partly to inadequate chrome in ma chine-gun barrels which made them defective and caused troops to sus- pect home front sagotage.

 London, May 20.- -(UP) Despite public appearances of quiet, 1t is believed that major Allied diplo- matic offensive is underway to com plete preparations for the coming invasion of Europe.
 The strategy is being designed and directed by President Roosevelt and Prime Minister Churchill from Washington.
 It appears to fall in three main categories:
 l. Softening up Italy by moves somewhat similar to those which preceded the North African land ings.
 3. Issues relating to Russia and particularly concerning central Eu- rope and Balkan countries such as Poland, Jugoslavia, and Greece.
 3. France
 Moves relating to Italy are fairly obvious, although some phases are believed to have been conducted with greatest secrecy. The Allied ob- jective is to assure in advance sup port within Italy and general weak ening of Italy's will and power to resist invasion.
 The Russian moves have the w1d- est ramifications, probably paving the way for a Roosevelt Churchill Stalin conference in which an effort will be made to decide which issues should be settled while the war still is going on and which should await the wars CT d.
 The most pronounced Russian is sue at the moment Is the Polish question, for which it is believed that strong Anglo-American efforts to achieve a solution are under way. These are not likely to bear fruit for several weeks but it is believed that the ground work for nominal reconciliation of Russia and Poland might be achieved If the Poles are promised territorial concessions from Germany such as East Prussia in exchange for yielding to Russian claims on the eastern frontier.
 There is certain to be no formal undertaking due to insistence of MT. Roosevelt and MT. Churchill that all frontier issues await settlement after the war. But an informal un- derstanding might be possible.
 Settlement of the French situa- tion Is believed to be growing more

BESSIE OPPOSING
 TRADE AMENDMENT
Wool Manufacturers Head Calls Upon Senate to
 Refuse Renewal

Boston, May 30-(UP)-Presiden Arthur Besse of the national asso- ciation of wool manufacturers today called upon the Senate to refuse to renew the Reciprocal Trade Agreements amendment.
 In letter to the Senate, BeSse asserted that there is no evidence that the trade agreements have ever provided any stimulation to domestic business" He said that reduction in tariff rates and the resulting change in the type of "our own production does not in- crease the total of domestic busi- ness nor add to domestic prosperity
 "The United States will probably continue international philanthropy on large scale," he acknowledged, but we should feel free to con- tribute to the degree and in the manner which we feel is best call culated to achieve the end in view rather than in the manner deter mined by the foreign traders of other countries"
 He called attention to comment by Sen. Walter F. George, D., Ga. who said that the state department was unwilling to accept changes" in the Reciprocal Trade Agreements Act. Besse asked whether the Sem ate is limited to passing legisla- ton approved by the state depart ment.
 He warned that nothing will do more to confuse postwar inter national relationships that the knowledge that our executive de- partments are pursuing policies at variance with the desires of the people and the will of Congress"

Springfield, Mass. May 20-(UP)- The Springfield Daily News, in story based oil an interview with a representative of the Jamacian gov ernment, says that 4000 Jan.aicans now in the United States to relieve the farm shortage were brought here like slaves" on a veritable "hell ship"
 The Daily News said the charges were made by Lucien Vermont, tall scholarly appearing representative of the Jamaican government who is in charge of 230 of his countrymen stationed at Camp Connor, Stafford Conn. They are employed as season. al workers on Connecticut Valley to- bacco farms.
 The newspaper said "one laborer, presumably thirst -crazed, jumped into the sea and was drowned, an- other died ;nortly after the ship docked, the 11th. at New Orleans, and many became i'll from meager rations and overcrowded conditions, according to Vermont :"
 The Daily Jews quoted Yer ont as saying that "4000 laborers were packed into a government transport designed to carry 1900 soldiers"
 The newspaper continued:
 Sailing from Kingston, Jamaica, the transport, making it's maiden voyage, embarked on a four-day trip to New Orleans, replete with hardship. Due to the heat and 1im- tied sleeping accommodations, deck load of 5000 laborers was maintained during most of voyage, Vermot said.
 "Overworked stewards, serving meals continuously were said to have vainly endeavored to feed the workers. According to Vermont the very strong managed to eat fairly regularly but the weak were un- able to fight their way through out-of-han groups to secure ra- tions.
 "A typical ship-board meal was said to be one hot dog and two slices of bread.
 Adding to the general misery Vermont continued, half the ships drinking fountains and toilets went

Hartford, Conn, May 20-(UP)- Utilization for schools and other public buildings as recreational cen- ters was advocated today by the governors conference on wartime recreation.
 Describing as essential to morale, the conference called upon private organizations, civic groups, granges and churches to provide facilities so that war workers might relax after strenuous hours at their jobs.
 The group also suggested estab- lishment of state recreation com- mission as part of long-term state recreational program.
 Dr. Jay B. Nash, chairman of the New York University Department of Health and Physical Education, told the conference there was not enough discipline in recreation.
 We have become the laughing stock of the world" he said. There are 55 million readers of Pulp maga- zines a month. With chance for leisure, 95 times out of a hundred you'll turn to rather insignificant types of entertainment.
 "The guidance of recreation is the most significant thing in a democracy. If we lose on this front, we lose all"

You May Never Have To Take
 Another Laxative

Most constipated people might be as regular as clock-work - if they would only quit worrying - stop being nervous = take more exercise - watch their diet < and get m mornings an hour or so earlier to give bowels time to act. But who can or wants to do all this?
 So - the next best thing is to keep the bowels working as regularly and comfort, ably as We can -a and that's where good old Espotabs come in. WhyT
 Because you may take Espotabs at night and expect results in the morning when you get up without waiting around = be cause they do not move the bowels so vio- lently as to leave you feeling weak and washed-out -.
 AND because they help give the grand. comfortable, satisfying type of movement that makes the spirits soar - and what sour, constipated person could ask for rnore7 Get Espotabs at your druggist today and take as directed. 25c.
