SHOP STEWARDS IN
 PRICE CAMPAIGN
Complaint Forms Given to Hundreds of Employees to Report Violations

Approximately 100 shop stewards connected with Local 251 of the Mine, Mill and Shelter Workers Union became voluntary wardens yesterday when the Waterbury CIO began a drive to assist OPA to en- force mercantile compliance with price ceilings.
 Complaint forms were issued to stewards for distribution among union members having grievances against merchants alleged to be violating ceiling prices, said Ovide Garceau, treasurer of the union and labor member of the city's price panel.
 The campaign will soon have the support of the Chase and ScoVlil unions together with smaller locals here, said MT. Garceau.
 The CIO plan will eradicate the need for members taking charges to the war ration board, said the union official. When affiidavits are return ed to stewards these will be 1nvestl- gated and filed with the price panel of which Chamber of Commerce Secretary Frank J. Green is chair man.
 Guilty merchants are subject to severe penalties under emergency anti-inflationary laws.

LIN 20 SEEING
 EATS. HUMBLE PIE
And Very Humble Pie at That for Error Not
 His Own

Chungking. July 3-(UP)-The Japanese government has extracted an apology from it's puppets in Nan king for what Tokyo officially termed "an insult to the emperor of Japan,' the Chungking Press re- ported from Shanghai today.
 Scapegoat in the incident was Lin Pc Sheng, minister of information of the Wang Ching Wei puppet regime, who recently visited Tokyo.
 Lin, in accordance with regula- tions governing second-class pup pets, called at the gate of the im- perial palace and signed his name in book to signify that he had paid remote respect to Hirohito.
 The Tokyo correspondent of the Ranking Press service erroneously reported to Nanking that Lin had been received in audience by the emperor. The dispatch was pub lished in all Japanese and puppet- controlled newspapers of occupied China
 The next day the Japanese gov ernment filed strong protest With Ranking, charging that the dispatch had insulted the emperor by alleg- ing that his imperial majesty would grant an audience to second class puppet.
 Wang apologized to Japan and ordered his news service to publish a retraction which said:
 Lin Pc Sheng had hoped for an audience with the emperor but was stopped due to his low morals ano inadequate learning

enemy air power, and our own mis- takes, the latter proved relatively easily corrected. When this war be- gan we found the Luftwaffe was ahead of us on bulletproof gas- tanks, armored cockpits, fighters generally. Pearl Harbor found our Navy with some planes that were unsuitable. But in the cramming school of war we learned what planes and tactics we needed to win a series of air-sea battles of new type and tremendous scope.
 In 1918 the Army and Navy had each one Air Service, both in Vest ern Europe. Today we have thir- teen Air Forces fighting in Europe Asia, Africa and Australia, over desert, jungle and iceberg. Every where they have air superiority. In 1918 we chortled at bringing down two enemy planes for one of ours Today we average four or even five; some times ten Japs to one.
 With most of our battleships stuck in Pearl Harbor mud we turned back Jap armadas largely with air-power: fighters and bomb CTS backed by the remarkable Air Transport Corps that ferries sup plies and men thousands of miles where 1918 planes went few hum dred. Even our airmen are much more expert than those of 1918; in courage they could not be. Today their wings enfold the globe.
 Tomorrow we shall have new fighter planes that can escort still farther our excellent bombers which, with the Norden bomb- sight, make possible daytime

WAR INDUCES
 PEAK DEMAND
 FOR GRADUATES

Minneapolis, July IA - tUP) - The girl graduate may have been an employment problem at one time, but for the duration at least that situation is drastically re- versed
 This is indicated by the eighth annual survey of employment for college graduates-both men and women-conducted by the North western Life Insurance Go. in 12S colleges throughout the n, 'C
 The report emphasizes that starting salaries are establishing new highs
 "Women are ing inducted into all the usual womens jobs and also as junior executives, personnel of- ficers, salesmen and sales eXecu- tives, and into engineering and ac- counting. The placement officials unanimously said All 1raduates who want jobs can have them"
 Shortage in Engineers
 Tn many mems colleges, the sen- for class is going into uniform i'm mediately. From one-third to tWo- thirds of the 1923 engineering grad uates are einJ drafted into the | fighting forces; the remainder are being snapped up by war industries The shortage of trained engineers may be even more grave in 1914.
 The report adds:
 War industry offers three to ten war jobs for every engineering graduate available, and is absorb ing business administration anc other seniors. Civilian industry car draw only from 4-Fs and women who do not enter war work.
 There is noticeably increased interest in Latin-American jobs.
 Many graduates are interested in long-range possibilities in the jobs they select. A few appear to be developing exaggerate ideas o1 their salary value.
 Study Postwar Problems
 The survey also reports that many universities and colleges are working in advance on problems 0! postwar employment. They are making detailed analyses of the abilities and training of graduates entering the armed services, so they can aid in finding employment for them immediately after the war ends.
 As part of the war program, many schools are offering both "auickie" training courses for war tasks, and accelerated long-range academic courses of study.
 The war r-inducted demand for women engineers has caused many engineering and technologlcal schools admit them for the first time. Other schools long have ac- cepted women in engineering class eS.
 Summing up, the report says: the demand is far greater - the supply is smaller - the pay is 30-40 per cent higher.

Air Power Provides Greatest
 Contrasts of Two World Wars
NO FULLY EQUIPPED U. s. PLANES REACHED FRANCE IN l9lS NOW WE MAKE 1000 PER MONTH
By THOMAS M. JOHNSON NEA Military Writer

Today is a good day to look up- ward and wave grateful thanks to the winged miracle that is breaking through the clouds. American air power is keeping it's promise to clear the way for victory in this war And that is doubly good news, for in the last war the same promise was made - but not made good.
 Except for the flyers themselves, American air power in 1918 was a tragic joke. And all too often they were tragic - flying gallantly to death in the Flaming Coff1ns" that were the only type of plane we pro- duced in quantity. And no great quantity at that. They composed only one-fourth of the dazzling to- tai we had at the front November II, 1913, which was TAO!
 AMAZING CONTRAST
 That was our record, after nineteen months of World War L. Today we have been nineteen months in World War II and on this unnoticed anniversary the contrast is amazing. The joke is on the Nazis, who based their hopes of conquest on the gas engine which is our speciality, and on the Japs, who hoped by the single blow of Pearl Harbor, to make it an engine of victory.
 Now our airmen of Army, Navy and civil life and our great aviation industry, have made sure that our enemies shall perish by the very sword they took up. We are producing seven thousand planes a month; we shall produce over 75,OOO this year, and by and large, the best planes in the world.
 The miracle of American air power seems more miraculous when we look back twenty-five years. The Committee on Public Information, the O. w. I. of those days, blurbed that we would fill the air with planes" That proved to be a great flight of the imagin- ation, for instead we filled it with scandal.
 FEW PLANES-AND POOR
 Our infant airplane industry, and the politicos and others who tried to guide it's toddlings, suc- ceeded in sending to Europe not single fully equipped plane. Many of those 1t did send had to be made over. Even the flyers had to be trained over.
 That is the truth, despite propaganda which also pretended that our passable Liberty motor - allegedly created by aerodynamical wizards locked in a smoke filled room-was the worlds most marvel lous mechanical appliance. Every correspondent with the A. E. F., knew it wasn't, but censors beg ged: "Oh, for Gods sake, lay off it!"
 Our Army had half as many planes per thousand men as the Germans, a third as many as the British, a fourth as many as the French. Our Allies furnished three-fourths of all we were using. Another striking contrast: after nineteen months in World War T., only five per cent of A. E. F. man. power was in the Air Service; to- day 25 per cent of the Army is in the Air Corps. We have learned by 1917-18's, experience and inex- perience. Though for time at the beginning of these last nineteen months our prospects seemed dark ened by the spreading wings of
