McCARRAN HEADS UNIT

McCARRAN HEADS UNIT
The senate subcommittee. headed
by Senator Pat McCarran CD
Nevada, who is chairman of the
full senate judiciary committee.
recommended that:
!. An appropriate senate COM
mittee hold hearings 70 determine
whether congress should amend the
war labor disputes to determine
service acts Ito provide for the
enforcement of war labor board
directive orders by federal court
action: whether the war labor
disputes act should be amended to
provide for judicial review of war
labor board orders, or whether new
legislation should be passed to ex-
pecite judicial decisions involving
appeals from or enforcement of war
labor board orders.
2. Every government agency con-
cerned with labor relations "meti-
culously avoid merely pro forma
findings" and make certain that
their records contain facts" to sup
port every finding they make, and
that their orCers be based on
law"
3. Future executive orders of the
President should contain specific
citations by number" of all sections
of the constitution and the laws of
congress upon which he relies for
authority to issue the orders.
PRESIDENTS ACTION
The subcommittee dealt solely
with the action of the President
and various government agencies
in the Montgomery Ward seizure.
1t did not consider the merits OF
the labor dispute which led to the
seizure.
The subcommittee critiZed Bid
dies advice TO the President, and
said his letter telling the President
he had authority to seize the firms
property contains erroneous, mis-
leading, irrelevant, and immaterial
statements and allegations, which
have tended to confuse rather than
to clarity the facts in the MINDS
of the people of the United States
1t said Biddle's letter mot only
recites facts which are unconfirm-
ed by the records of the federal
departments and agencies concern
&c with the labor controversy" but
also contains conclusions which
are inconsistent with and unsub-
stantiated by the facts which he
recites."

25 miles southeast of Rome, was oc-
cupied late Thursday by American
troops after some of the bitterest
fighting at the beachhead end of
the front.
Though surrounded, the German
garrison literally fought a last
ditch battle. The final American
assault began at noon, and four
hours later the last 100 surviving
Germans surrendered The remain
der of the garrison was killed.
American troops famed out from
Cisterna in all directions even
while fighting still ragged in the
city They drove three miles to the
northwest along the Appian Way
toward Rome, advanced an equal
distance northeast along a road to-
ward the mountain town Of Cori
and rolled southeast along the Ap-
plan Way to effect another juno
ton with troops from the main
front.
SUPPLY HIGHWAY
The new junction gave the allies
a first-class supply highway all
the way from Naples to Cisterna
and virtually completed the occu-
patton of the Pontine marshes.
James E. Roper, United Press war
correspondent who accompanied the
first column TO reach Cistena from
the south, said engineers already
were opening dams to draw off
flood waters penned up by the Ger
mans as a defense measure.
In their advance up the CiSterna-
Corr road, the Americans also cut
a lateral road crossing it about a
mile and half to the northeast.
Other elements of the Fifth army
reached the Cori-Doganella road.
Both advances above the Appian
Way carried toward the mountains
protecting the flank of some II
enemy divisions resisting along the
front curving 70 miles to the south
east
If the allies could push through
the mountains to the Via Casilina
Is miles to the northeast, they
would cut these forces, last prac-
tical communications with Rome
and probably force them to yield
the capital without a struggle.
TOWNS CAPITULATE
Below the Appian Way, the Fifth
army occupied Littoria and the So
called model villages" of Sabaudia
and Pontina in the Pontine marsh
es without a struggle. Water in
some of the flooded marsh towns
was up to second-story windows.

The War Department pointed out that there will be considerable shifting in production in 1914 to meet changing war conditions. Much of the present production Is on component parts and accessories which will go into completed guns, tanks. planes and other pieces of Army equipment for delivery dur ing the first half of 1914. War pro- duction in the latter half of 1944 will be importantly governed by deliveries of complete products re- quired in the first half of 1945.
 Many of the changes having a far-reaching effect on the war pro- duction structure are the direct re- suit of all-out attack rather than defensive warfare. Reductions in the production of certain items do not justify unwarranted optimism for an early end of the war. Rath- CT they signify the opening of new and more difficult phases.
 These production shifts, which will continue throughout the dura- ton of the war. not only are the result of tactical changes In the fighting and the conclusion of the training phase for large portions of our troops, but also result from the movement of more and more soldiers overseas and the shifting of the geographical location of the battle.
 Careful consideration of man. power problems involved in these Army production retrenchments is assured. Whenever military secur- ity permits, the management and the workers of plants affected by production shifts or shutdowns are given full explanation of the cir cumstances underlying the action. Every effort is made to arrive at determination of prod uction changes far enough in advance of the actual cutback or shift to give sufficient time for. the manpower and material problems to be worked out as smoothly as possi- ble.

Possible to Dry Clean Chrome Tanned Leather

Chrome tanned leather garments should be dry cleaned by the same methods used for cleansing kid, suede, and other types of leather. Dry cleaning does not take the chronic oxide out of chrome tanned leather.
 The oil or grease content of any leather is reduced by dry cleaning. and must be returned to the leather at the end of the cleaning process. If not. the leather will turn out stiff and lifeless. When you take your chrome tanned protective clothing to the dry cleaner. make sure he knows how to place leather garments in an oil bath after cleansing to restore the feathers oil and grease content.

Our Fighting Front

Among some the large-Scale met al savings being affected by the Navy is the plastic buoy, devel- opment of the U. s. Coast Guard, which is now undergoing service tests and shows every indication of improvement over the former steel structure. particularly in weight reduction and corr0sion resistance.
 A Marine Artillery Unit fired nearly 35,000 rounds of ammuni- ton during the first month of the battle of Bougainville. That means the howitzers dumped about 425,- 900 pounds of high explosives on the Japs, with a total ammunition expenditures of about 53O, O,00O pounds And there's plenty more where that came from. Tokyo pa pers, please copy!
 Pliers of B-24 ''Liberator" For nation on a bombing mission over Paramushiru-Shim reported that the tail section of a .four-en- zine bomber, which was attacked simultaneously by two Zeros and crashed into the sea, broke com pletely away from the rest of the wreckage and remained afioat.

The conversation ended by this: Why don't you put in about the welder who went to market with the three pounds of grease? Here 1t is: It seems that a certain welder had three pounds of waste fat to take to her market in exchange for red points, you know the red things that buy meat. or do they? Well, anyway. so and so went to the market with the waste fat; when she handed it to her grocer she told him she had three pounds of waste fat in that can. The grocer took it, raised one eye but weighed it anyway. There were ten ounces of fat left in the can. Did laugh? I did not, it was my best skirt. And besides could not turn the skirt in on red points.
 Goldie passed her test two weeks ago. She was so proud of the fact that no one else got a chance to say a word all the way home. Good work, Geldie. Now let's get going on production. Next thing I know you will be down On the boats with the rest of us.
 
 We see numbers now on the welding boxes that run up in the six figures. Let's make 1t seven.

Save The Sales Tax

We cannot endorse the action OF the Retail
Merchants Association directors when they
condemn the state sales tax and urge election
OF legislators who oppose il. On the contrary,
we heartily support the sales tax and urge
the forthcoming session Of the legislature to
retain it.
True, the sales tax was instituted to save
North Cardinals credit in period of emer-
gency. True. too, the specific emergency for
which it was created has passed. North Car
olina's credit is safe. But its usefulness is
not abrogated for that reason. Were it to be
abandoned the revenues 1t now provides would
have to come by other means which could
not under any circumstances spread the tax
burden among so many residents but would
concentrate it within much narrower dimen-
sions and so make the load heavier upon
some shoulders while leaving others free
If there is any just complaint of the sales
tax, it is not of the principle but the opera
ton Sales tax collection methods in North
Carolina are not up to standard on small
purchases and will not be until the legsla-
ture provides tokens for collection as so many
states do.
There is no just reason why the purchaser
of 10 cent article should be assessed
cent sales tax thereon, when the rate is but
3 per cent Even dime stores, where 10 cent
purchases are in greater volume than else
where. which previously and voluntarily Of
fered paper slips in lieu of tokens in the
use of which purchasers could keep within
the prescribed per cent tax, have discon-
tinued the practice save only when the pur
chaser demands his slip. Because it has been
so easy, in the unsettled conditions that have
grown out of the war and its accompanying
heavy labor turnover, to abandon this prac-
tice clearly indicates the need for tokens for
the protection Of buyers. There is no justifi-
cation for collecting 10 per cent on any pur-
chase when the states legal rate is per cent.
Let the legislature adopt the token s. stem
of collecting the sales tax, but leave the tax
itself alone. In the inevitable readjustments
ahead there is no surer method of distribut-
ing the tax burden among so many Of the
people.
