Allies Keep Up Raids
On Nazi Rail Centers
Supplying Normandy
By the Associated Press.


By the Associated Press. ~
LONDON, July 1.-RAF heavy
bombers, maintaining a steady
campaign aimed at strangling
the Nazis' channels of reinforce
ment for the Normandy front,
bombed rail centers at Vierzon,
4S miles south of Orleans, last
night in the Allies fifth heavy
bomber operation in "a hours.
At the same time British Mosquito
bombers kept up the Allied pressure
on Germany itself by attacking a
synthetic oil plant near Homberg on
the Rhine. One Mosquito failed to
return. The five heavy bomber op-
erations cost 16 planes.
RAF heavy bombers struck twice
at the Germans flying bomb launch
ing ramps in Northern France yes
terday and American Flying Fort
resses and Liberators smashed at
five enemy airfields in France and
Belgium before a force of over ESQ
big British Lancasters and Hall
faxes turned from strategic to tao
tical work last evening.
Troop Concentrations Attacked.
In that unusual operation the
Raj heavy bombers, escorted by
Spitfires, dumped over 1,100 tons
of explosives on German armor and
troop concentrations near Villers
Bocage. The big planes descended
below 1000 feet to deliver that blow
in support OF the Allied ground
troops in Normandy.
The Germans continued sending
their flying bombs into Southern
England last night and today.
Allied fghter-bombers attacked
rail lines and other installations be-
hind the battlefront until dusk yes
terday. Supreme headquarters said
these continuing assaults had been
so effective in the triangle bounded
by the Seine and Loire Rivers that
the Germans now are using rail
transport for only one-tenth of their
movements. Other enemy move
ments in that sector are by road
and virtually all are made under
protection of darkness, an air officer
said.
In the final fighter bomber attacks
late yesterday American Mustangs,
Lightnings and Thunderbolts dive
bombed and strafed roads, bridges,
rail yards, canal traffic and numer-
Gus other targets of opportunity in
the Paris area.
Nazi Opposition Minor.
Only minor enemy opposition was
encountered. Three German planes
were shot down and another de-
stroyed on the ground. One Ameri-
can plane was lost
One Lightning group bombed and
shut one end of tunnel just as
train entered the other end. An
other hit so to Is fiat cars loaded
with half-track vehicles.
Altogether American fighter
bombers hit IS highway and rail-
road bridges and attacked Is rail
yards, damaging or destroying at
least 285 freight cars, "a tank cars.
26 locomotives, seven barges, 13
trucks and three staff cars. Other
targets included power stations, fax
and water towers, canal locks and
factories.
In the Mediterranean theater. a
medium force of Allied heavy bonn
bers attacked enemy communica-
tions and supply lines in Hungary
and airdromes and a harbor in
Yugoslavia. Tactical aircraft con-
Quoted offensive sweeps in Northern
Italy and in the battle area, and
fighter -bombers attacked shipping
and communications in Yugoslavia.
The Mediterranean Allied Air
Force made approximately $500
sorties and destroyed ID enemy
planes, Nine Allied planes were
missing.

F. d. r. Hits OPA Bill
But Will Not Veto It

Washington, D. president Roos-
evelt announced he would sign the bill
extending price control with great
misgiving because he considered some
OF the amendments adopted by Con-
gress likely to have an inflationary eff
feet.
AFL President William Green urged
the President to send "strong state
ment" to Congress condemning these
amendments which lift controls from
number of basic elements in the cost
OF living and cripple OPA enforcement
procedures. He assailed particularly
amendments which would invite a
stampede of petitions for rent in
creases."
While conceding that the bill. as
passed, would create a "lot of prob
lems," OPA Administrator Bowles
somewhat optimistically expressed
confidence in the ability Of the Cow
ernment to "hold the price line.n He
pointed out that the worst Of the pro-
posed amendments had been defeated
by Congress.

FACING
The
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Here is an open letter to Thomas E.
Dewey, newly nominated Republican
candidate for the Presidency of the
United States:
Dear T m:-Congratulations! We
always like to see young fellow come
along and you certainly have been
travelling fast. AS we sat in the gallery
at Chicago Stadium and heard delega-
tion after delegation pile up a record
breaking first-ballot vote for you, we
were impressed not only by your pou-
larity with your fellow Republicans
but also by the efficiency of your per-
sonal organization.
Congratulations also on your forth
right declaration at the morning after
press conference in Chicago that the
platform adopted by the G. 0. P. con-
vention is ambiguous in spots and
needs Qualification. You promised to
fill in the blank spaces and clear up its
uncertainties in your speeches as the
campaign goes on.
For your information, labor feels
that the plank dealing with it's own
particular problems is not what it
should be. We are looking to you to
spell out some of the double-talk
without delay. Your record as Cover
nor Of New York State has been, on
the whole, friendly and sympathetic to

Corsi Opens Drive
Against Child Labor

New York City-Industrial Com
missioner Edward Corsi appealed 70
mayors OF 62 cities throughout New
York State to join with him in one
week campaign to stem rising tide
OF chlld-labor violations, which he re-
ported rose to more than 1000 since
the first Of the year.,
Urging the mayors to take the lead
IN forming community groups repre-
sentlng civic, welfare, labor and en-
ployer organizations, Mr.. Corsi prom
lsed that if they pursued the educa-
1lonai end, ne would deal effectively
with those found guilty Of outright
defiance and callous exploitation Of
child labor"

mobilized from the armed forces and
the millions of workers who will lose
their jobs in war plants.
If you can go for that kind of pro-
gram, Tom, you ought to make a
strong race. But if you are going to
limit your campaign to lambasting
and criticizing the New Deal, you are
more than likely to join the ranks of
Hoover, Landon, Willkie and other
G. O. P. has-beens.
Certainly the New Deal has made
errors-some of them grievious ones,
But narrow, "hate- Roosevelt" cam
paign will earn you the votes only of
such super-haters as Sewel Avery,
Col. Mccormick, Pegler, Hearst, the
Pews and the Grundys and the defend
ants in the seditionist trial. That kind
of support is fatal.
One other tip. 1t will be good idea
to muzzle your running mate between
now and election. During his pre-con-
vention campaign he said some harsh
things about you and also about labor.
If he keeps on talking in that vein, he
will cost you votes.
We have tried in this letter to give
you the straight goods. We hope you
will not resent this advice but profit
by it. This is a neutral corner. AS you
enter the ring, we wish you the best
of luck.

STOP & THINK FIRST
By RUTH TAYLOR

There is one and only one way to
stop any and all hate stories, rumors,
and malicious gossip whether they
be directed at political parties or in
dividuals, labor or industry, Blacks or
Whites, Protestants, Catholics or
Jews.
It is job that is up to you and me,
to each and everyone of us who be-
lieves in the brotherhood Of man and
the democratic way of life. We can't
alibi nor shirk the task. The only per-
son to do it is the individual himself.
eff you can't write it and sign it
don't say it" should be our slogan. /
cribbed that sentence from an article
written by Robert Butler, shipbuilder
in Duluth, because I think it is just
plain horse sense. 1t is easy, practical
and what is more to the point, it will
do the job.
Of course if people adhered to it,
there would be many moments of sill
ence-which we could all survive with
out hardship. Most people talk too
much anyway. know I do.
Test the idea on yourself. I've found
that a good way to counteract rash
statements is to say to the speakers,
"That's very interesting. Let me write
it down. I know you won't mind if
quote you but want to be sure I get
it just traight." Well, what happens
is that the final statement isn't even
ar reasonable facsimile of the original.
Listen to your own conversation
some time. How much Of it would you
be willing to sign? Precious little,
bet. If you aren't willing to back up
your own charges, don't make them.
If you aren't willing to stand by what
you say, don't say it
Put that slogan into practice ana
the result will be that you'll make only
accurate statements. You will not ex-
aggerate. You will not show prejudice.
You will not allow your personal feel
lngs to color your speech.
And what will that mean to you?
You'll develop a reputation for accu-
racy, for logic, for reasoned speech
because you will tend to understate,
rather than overstate. You know how
you judge the opinions of others, how
you respect the man who is always
proven right. You may not be assem-
tlonal conversationalist, but you will
be one to whom people will listen and
whom they'll quote because they
know you're dependable.
IF you can't write it and sign it
don't say it," Let's make that our per-
sonal motto. It really works.

labor. In view of that record, it would
be somewhat inconsistent for you to
appeal to the workers of America for
their support on the basis of the dis
appointing labor plank handed to you
by the convention.
Familiar Tune
Remember, Tom, the Republican
Party has been out of power in Wash
ington for twelve years and has gone
down to three successive, humiliating
defeats in the national elections.
You should know the reason why.
1t is because the Republican candi-
dates failed to gain the confidence of
the majority of the common people of
America. Their policies and program
were devised not to appeal to the great
masses who work in the factories and
office buildings and on the farms of
our country, but to the relatively small
group Of business men.
IL yod ChpCIC w Will III 1O44, 1OIil,
this has got to be changed. You have
got to convince the people with the
votes that you are concerned over their
interests. You can do this by develop
ing labor program in your cam
paign which goes far beyond what the
Republican Party platform offers.
In essence, the platform tells the
people that the way to help the nation
is to help business frst-then every
one else will be able to pick up few
crumbs. This is a familiar old tune
and it is no longer popular. The Amer
lean people insist that the Government
put first things frst-their collective
and individual security.
We hope you won't be offended if
we offer a few hints for your CAM

paign. The tender is made IN helpful
spirit. We are not partisan. We would
like to see you and your Democratic
opponent whoever he may be get
off to an even start and let the best
man win. So, here goes!
Helpful Hints
America is determined to win the
war and to win the peace. Winning
the war, we hope, won't be political
issue in this campaign. But the Ameri-
can people expect their next President
to help them win the peace.
That means banishing future war
