major test case OF the FEPC re-
Gently when a House subcommit-
tee investigating administrative
agencies decided to inquire into it.
Appearing before the committee,
OF which Representative Smith,
Democrat, of Virginia is chairman,
Sieney S. Alderman, general solici-
tor of the Southern Railroad. who
also acted as representative of the
l3 other lines involved in the con-
troversy, firmly denied the FEPC's s
power TO act in the case.
Asked Inquiry Only.
The President. Mr.. Alderman con-
tended, apparently had grave doubts
himself as to the enforceability of
the FEPC's directives. inasmuch as
he merely appointed a committee to
investigate and review them. and
took no concrete action toward en-
! forcement.
Frank P. Mulholland, counsel fol
the Railroad Labor Executives Com
mlttee, representing the unions, ap-
peared at the hearings with in
structions to back up Mr.. Alder
mans statements.
Chairman Ross of the FEPC has
/ just filed with the Smith committee
! his answer to the contention of the
roads and union that the organiza
ton exceeded its powers in the con
traversy, which he reviews in detail
in a 34-page single-spaced docu-
ment. He justifies the need for the
FEPC's order in the light of the
existing war manpower situation by
this statement:
The IA railroads certified to the
President in November. l943, re-
ported need of 497 workers in the
occupations Of brakeman. locomotive
fireman and switchman. In Jan
uary, 1914, they reported a need Of
1893 persons in those occupatio ar
increase Of approximately so pei
cent in q period of two months. The
specific needs at the first of thi.
year OF the IA railroads involved
here were for 384 brakemen, 25s
locomotive firemen and 354 switch.
men"
Thus, Mr.. Ross held, the "ful
utilization" Of manpower demanded
in the Presidents executive order
required the employment of qualified
Negro railroad workers and theil
promotion to jobs for which they
were fitted.

port of Akyab on the west-central
coast of Burma.
Time Favors Enemy.
Time favors the enemy. The
Allies have only one and one-halt
months at most to gain their imme-
diate objectives before the dreaded
monsoons, with an average rainfall
of 8 to inches a day, move in to
halt all but desultory operations for
six months.
Should the Allies fall short OF
their objectives by the time the
monsoons arrive they face the pros
pect OF ignominious retreat to India
The territory they now hold is in
accessible in wet weather and even
planes are grounded much of the
time. There would be no way to
supply the troops with food and
munitions. They would have to re-
treat to survive.
The drives are progressing. The
North Burma fighting force OF
American infantry and American
trained Chinese troops appears most
likely to achieve its objective.

vengeance forces are only 70 miles
or less from the strategic town of
Myitkyina, northern gateway to the
Burma road, head of the Irrawaddy
River and Burma railway terminus
The jungle-toughened forces are
pushing along the Mainkwang-
Mogaung road. Just behind them
the engineer corps works furiously
to push the Ledo road on to
Myitkyina.
The central Burma invasion force
OF British and Indian troops has
established line along the Mayu
range on the west banks of the
Chindwin River. The troops are 10C
miles from their objectives at the
closest point. This force, also, in
tends to open the Burma road by
heading eventually into Lashio
original Burma road starting point
Control OF the Irrawaddy River
and Burma railway is of extreme
Importance. It means utter disrup-
ton Of Japanese inland transporta-
ton Of supplies and troops; routing
Iof Jap concentrations along the en-
tire territory fed by the railway and
river network, and withdrawal of
enemy forces quite possibly from
the entire northern half of Burma
Akyab Supply Base.
This would permit the Allies to
renegotiate the Burma road, con-
solidate their own positions by
strengthening supply and communi-
cation lines, and weld an unyield-
ing front that eventually would
push eastward into China.
The battle for Akyab has no i'm
mediate connection with the other
two campaigns. 1t is progressing
favorably, If slowly. Akyab is al
most entirely land-circled by British
and West African troops. This port
is sorely needed as an Allied air and
supply base.

Bu John Gunther. (Hdrper. !

AS an explanation Of why he wrote
this book, John Gunther states that,
up to its composition, he had never
written a personal narrative. His
Inside" series, he observes, was
entirely factual. The three volumes
he reminds us, scarcely contain the
first person singular" That Is true,
and one would imagine that 1t made
q record Of which Mr.. Gunther
would be proud. Where else Is there
a reporter with three thick books
behind him and scarcely any rs?
The factual journalist is practically
extinct. Alas that Mr.. Gunther
could not be content to rest on his
unique laures! But no. He will
have none Of them. He has written
a book in which, like q hundred OF
his colleagues, he takes the world
into his confidence on q war corre-
spondent's difficulties in getting
shaving cream up at the front and
a war correspondents feelings when
crawling with fleas. He throws in
some battle scenes, too. They all
do that.
He went to North Africa, thence
to Malta and Sicily. The Malta and
Sicily sojourns corresponded to the
American invasion. and the descrip-
tions of the fighting and of Gen
Eisenhower's organization are lively
and good. Then Mr.. Gunther swung
around through the Near East, came
back across Africa and by plane
home. On the Near East travels he
drops back into the technique OF
the Inside" volumes and (no doubt
regretting the lapse) reports factu-
ally on the complicated political
situations Of the countries involved
But In the main his book is what
he set out to write-just one more
personal experience story.
II it has a unique feature it is In
its picture of the superb British and
American collaboration in the Medi-
terranean fighting. Many reporters
have commented on this. Mr.. Gun
ther makes it plausible and alive.
