disabling injuries in 1041 caused "the almost unbelievably stagger- ing time loss of 25O, GOO, 900 man days. More than 10,OOO American workers will be absent from their jobs forever! Fully half of the 10O,O permanently crippled work CTS will never return to full pro- duction jobs. One and half mill lion workers who sustained tenn porary injuries were absent from work for an average period of IT days each.
 Experienced industrial engineers assert that 90 to 95 per cent of these accidents could have been prevented!
 Congress cannot escape a share of responsibility for this colossal time loss. For two years 1t has been appealed to for sufficient funds to combat this scourge and has responded in the most nig- gard1y fashion. Last year the in- significant sum of $15O,OOO was allotted to keep men out of hospital and funeral homes. In the same period $2,00O,O0 was voted to fight graSshoppers.
 Estimated losses to crops from grassaoppers last season totalled $14, 100000. The direct money loss from work accidents in 1922 was $9O0, ,000, ,0OO, to say nothing of the human suffering and the still greater tragedy of millions of pro- duction days squandered. Precious time cannot be evaluated in terms of money"

Sen. Mead Says Accidents
 Real Cause of Absenteeism'

'-The greatest single cause of ab- senteeism Is accidents" reports Senator James M. Mead in mem- Oraable speech based on testimony taken by the Truman Committee, of which he Is member.
 He denounced propagandistS who charge workers are SlackerS and says amazing production records refute libel.
 Implications that millions of workers in our industrial army are I0afihg, tagging and lquoring; that they are lying down on the job in supplying fighting equipment, and that they are living in afflu- en4 likeness due to exorbitant wages and short hours are false, 1" he continued, lis readily revealed by our production records. Let us not forget that absentees did not produce 1,5OO,00 deadweight tons of merchant ships delivered in February, or $500 planes turned out in February, or the 10000 tons of aircraft bombs supplied by war plants in January.
 These things were accomplished by the sweat, energy, patriotism, and loyalty of millions of men and women who toll and who have not wasted their time in adOlence or frivOlity. THEY ARE. THE BEST PROOF THAT THE SOLDIERS ON THE PRODUC- TON FRONT ARE NOT LOAF FRS. SLACKERS, OR DUTY DODGERSw

AXIS STILL JITTERY OVER INVASION

LONDON-In a series of nervous broadcasts, Axis radio commentators declared yesterday that the Allies were massing vast invasion armadas both in the Mediterranean and in Britain for a two-directional at tack on the continent.
 Whether based on fact or fancy or is merely an Axis method of hop ing to glean a ray of information of Allied plans, the sudden spurt in the enemy's invasion speculation betrayed his uneasiness over what the immediate future will bring.
 The Nazi-controlied Paris radio gave considerable attention to re- ports from Spain telling of the pres ence at Gibraltar of two battle ships, four aircraft carriers, twenty cruisers, forty light destroyers and fonty-fiye merchantmen.

FUR SEAL TAKE
 ON PRIBIL0FS BREAKS RECORD OF Al, SAYS ICKES

WASHINGTON-A record break ing take of 117,164 Pribilof fur seal skins is reported for the year by Secretary of Interior Harold L. Ickes.
 The skins were taken from the famed Pribilof Islands, within Jap anese bombing range.
 Announcement of the take con- cluded the strict censorship over the activity which was suspended last year under a military evacu- ation order after only 127 seal skins were taken.
 One group of 183 sealers went to the islands last May and returned on August g. Concern was felt lest the Japs attempt seizure after the skins were taken.
 The take this year was the larg- est since the International Treaty was concluded and 22,000 more seals were killed than in 1941 when the Japs abrogated the 4power treaty contending that the seals de- stroyed the fish.

 Liberator pilots, returning from an attack on Rekata Bay, once a strong enemy base on Santa Isabel reported that for the first time no anti-aireraft fire was encountered.

 Meanwhile, Australian troops in the fighting for Salamaua airdrome had reached the mouth of the Fran cisco river. This would place the Aussies almost at the erge of the air strip because the river flows close by the field and empties into Rekata Bay.
