CHINESE FREEDOM:
Real but Deferred

China was too busy fighting Japs
to take time off to celebrate the
treaty by which Great Britain and
the United States abolished extrater-
ritorial rights. But this action meant
that once the Japs were ousted,
China would enjoy real and unquali-
fled freedom for the first time in a
century.
The agreements, subject to favor
able U. S. senate action will do away
with political, military, commercial
and judicial preferences under which
Britain and America hold jurisdic-
ton over their own shipping in Chi
nese ports, their own special law
courts in Shanghai, their information
al settlements and their right to
maintain troops in China.
Months, and perhaps years re-
manned to complete the readjust-
ments, but the march for Chinese
freedom had begun.

NAVAL LOSSES:
u. S. Lists Names

The list included the 20,000-ton air
craft carrier Hornet and two of the
nations fastest and newest light
cruisers, the Juneau and Atlanta

BUDGET:
Asks 100 Billion

Plenty of headaches for Hitler and
Hirohito were inherent in the epochal
$109, 1000, 900, 900 total war budget for
the 1894 fiscal year which con-
gress was scanning studiously.
Largest budget in world history, the
total would devote $100, 000, 1000, 900 to
war activities, the remainder to do
nestle government expense and in
terest on the national debt which by
July, 1914, would reach $210, 1000, 000,-
600.
Plenty of wrinkles furrowed the
brows of fiscal experts as they con-
templated the stupendous budget.
The mere act of spending such sums
meant bringing nearer the specter

recommendation: Syphon off $16,-

savings from national income; add
this to the present s35, oOO, 1000, 900
tax bill and thus provide $51, OO0,-
100000 which would pay about half
the war costs and be a potent check
mate to imitation. And to enable
wage earners to meet the steadily
mounting bill, moves had been

SO. WESTERN PACIFIC:
Ne,U Guinea Struggle

The Japs were determined to give
up their remaining footholds in New
Guinea only at the same stubborn
cost at which they had yielded the
Gona-Buna area. It had taken near
ly four months to wipe out the Jap
beachhead in this sector. Still in
Nipponese hands were Sanananda,
Lac, Salamaua and Madang. Clos
est in was Sanananda and here a
three pronged Allied drive had
hemmed in the last survivors and
cut off all hope of reinforcement.
The subjugation of remaining Lac,
Salamaua and Madang presented
another story. Their successful as
sault meant overcoming the same
complex problems of supply that
impeded and delayed the offensive
against the Japanese at Buna and
Coma. And until these New Guinea
positions were wiped out, the United
Nations would be unable to launch
any offensive to extend Allied con-
troll on to New Britain.
Cuadalcanal
In the Solomons, reinforced Amer
lean troops were reported moving
against only spasmodic Jap resist
ance. While the Americans had
been able to land additional forces
to augment their units on Guadal-
canal, reports persisted that the
Japs had been able also to strength
en- their positions.
Observers believed that if U. S.
army units in force had reinforced
and relieved the marine garrisons
on Guadalcanal, the next step would
be concentrated move to push
American occupation further to the
north in the Solomons with the ulti-
mate goal of completely ejecting the
Japs.

They put up barbed wire, built bomb shelters and erected sandbag bar riers. They built 664,0O0 miles of street, roads and highways, most of them militarily important. They constructed 800 airports and 4,OOO airport buildings. They put up hun dreds of nursery schools where to- day many wives of former relief CTS" may leave their children on their way to war jobs.
 WPA'S dissolution began, of course, with the manpoWer demand of war production. And WPA boasts that it sent millions of work CTS back into private employment with their skills generally main- tained and sometimes improved. Among these millions were 100000 who took WPA vocational training in such things as factory work and professional service in hospitals and airports.
 For it's alphabetical success, WIPE, WPA turned workers loose on a sal wage drive that, in two months last year, netted 27,000 tons of scrap metal and 2,000 tons of scrap rub Der.
 And WPA, long accused of extrav- agance, had moment of sweet re- venge during it's last days. That was when it returned to the govern ment 100000 in unSpent money and 25,000,000 in property and sup plies, from a final years appropria- tion of $28O,0OOOOO.

But the WPA payroll, which in the peak month of 1939 had 3,334594 names, has dwindled to about 5000 By June 20, almost exactly eight years from the time WPA started the work will be done, the books closed, and the doors locked.

SHERIFF SLAVIN'S
 PLAN SUCCESSFUL
Jail Inmates Solving Help Shortage for Farmers,
 Coal Dealers

Nearly every inmate of New Ha- ven county's jail is being hired out to some form of war work, Sheriff J. Edward Slavin revealed yester- day. Prisoners are working on farms, in coal yards and in oyster beds along Long Island sound.
 Employers engaging our inmates are not saving money, but they're getting their work oone," Sheriff Slavin said in explaining the sys- tenn. Prisoners go out in groups of six, in charge of guard. Each in mate is paid $1 for his labor, gets dollar from his employer together with two packages of cigarettes. The guard is also paid by the employer.
 Since the plan has been in op- eration, only two prisoners have be- trayed the trust placed in them by escaping. They were recaptured.
 Sheriff Slavin said that apart from the relief the system is fur nishing the acute manpov-e CT short age, it is also providing men serving sentences there with definite reha- bilitative benefits. As an example of this, he pointed out that a pris- oner discharged the other day left the jail with $120, the fruits of his earnings during the period of his stay. Furthermore, the fellow went back to the place where he was working and got himself a regular job. Said Sheriff Slavin, T believe in the plan and my staff is happy to do this work. It certainly has inn proved the spirit of the jail popula- tion. It is helping in a small way to keep commerce and agriculture moving; it is giving prisoners an opportunity to do something con- structive and it is saving the country money"
 He also pointed out that the plan has worked so well in New Haven county that it is now being used in Hartford county.

ENEMY FEARING
 SURPRISE MOVE
Allied War of Nerves May Cloak Unexpected Blow
 Against Germans
By HARRISON SALISBURY Limited Press Staff Correspondent

NOnlOCu NTCSS DLdh COIiCSpOIluChlJ
 London, June 8.-UP)-The AL Hes now are waging what consti- tutes a full-blown war Of nerves against the Axis, with increasing signs that it may be employed as cover for a surprise move against the Germans
 The Germans know that the Allies are preparing to attack many places, but they don't know when, in what order, or in what strength.
 The constant success of stories, reports and rumors tend to con- fuse the Germans as to Allied in tentions. The Germans know. for example, that the United Nations certainly are going to attack in the Mediterranean area. Allied air power has been concentrated on Sicily, Sardigia and the tip of Italy, but series of rumors have the Axis in doubt about whether the Allies also are ready to attack Islands, Crete and possibly even the south coast of France.
 Main Allied preparations obvious ly are under way in the central Mediterranean and reports regard ing the closing of the Turkish Syrian frontier indicate that some thing may be afoot in that theater also.
 The Germans themselves have been putting out stories regarding concentrations of invasion craft on kpn of tha IQri+icTo Tc1ac which might suggest preparations for an attack on northwest France pr the Low Countries. There also have been repeated suggestions that invasion of Norway is contemplated, possibly as soon as the period of almost constant daylight starts to Wane.
 Under cover of these reports. the Allies actually have been moving forward with preparations for the initial assault against Europe. The situation parallels almost exactly the period in the spring of 1941 when the Germans spread alarmist reports all over Europe in order to confuse the Allies regarding when and where an actual attack would be made.
 Speculation generally has been centered on the likelihood that the Allied attack on southern Europe would be made first. But another possibility also has received atten- tion. This would be a concentrated attack on the under belly by sev- eral major task forces,
 It was suggested that such at tacks might be launched almost simultaneously or serially, with brief intervals for the main purpose of wearing down Nazi offensive power along the pattern of the Tmisian campaign.

has been a distinct help to the na- tion at total war. Soil reclamation, flood control, reforestation, and roads that made 12 billion board feet of lumber readily accessible look a lot more important today than they did few years ago.
 Working for WPA wasn't just a matter of leaning on your shovel, the records show. Employees did just about everything from hewing the Lewis and Clark highway out of Rocky Mountain granite to painting post office muralS. They built golf courses and ski jumps. They chisled and modelled 16,500 pieces of sculp- ture. They served billion school lunches, sewed BYE, 100000 garments, and carried "bookmobile' libraries to back-country communities.
 They presented hundreds of plays, including a countrywide premiere of Sinclair Lewis Tt Can't Happen Here They instructed aliens in English and the fundamentals of citizenship.
