day.
A U. s. task force made up chief.
ly OF carriers struck Palau on an
unspecified date, Tokyo said, and
two out OF 30 attacking planes
were shot down. This unconfirm-
ed announcement added In the

was small.
Cruisers, destroyers, submarines
and carrier planes hit Sabang yes
terday, the japanese said In an
other unconfirmed broadcast raid
ing the harbor and city there. Two
Allied destroyers and a submarine
were sung. Tokyo said.
Sabang, situated on We Island
Just off Northwest Sumatra, was
last attacked April 10 by British
American French-Dutch naval force
which smashed nearly every mil
itary installation In sight.
The Palau attack, II true, was a
logical follow-up to the steady

The wage rates of steel workers
have been stabilized.
It Is a reasonable inference" that
the stabilization program, based on
legislation enacted in October, 1912
was to be re-examined from time
to time in the light Of changing con-
ditions."
Report on AL Plea.
Along with the report on the steel
wage case, another board panel OF
three members reported on an ex-
parte presentation by the American
Federation of Labor which asked
the WLB to call on President Roose-
velt to modify realistically" the
Little Steel formula.
This panel, with the labor men,
ber disagreeing with the form the
report took, confined itself to a re-
cital Of the federation's arguments
for a raise in the formula ceiling
to meet rising living costs.
1t appeared, however, that the
broad principles laid down by the
public majority in the steel
case would meet the objectives also
Of the American Federation of Labor
II adopted by the board and ap-
proved by the administration.
Murray Predicts Raise.
Philip Murray, president of the
C1O. already is on record with the
prediction that the Little Steel"
formula, devised in settling a steel
wage case In 1912, will be revised
upward shortly.
As the panel reports were made
public, the board set the week Of
October for general consideration
Of wage ,stabilization, and a board
member said the wage issue prop
ably would reach the Presidents
desk by mid October, or about
three weeks before election.

obvious on its face that the task of

Mr.. Clayton declared.
