By ]. 4. O,LEARY.

Reversing the earlier decision
OF q subcommittee, the Senate

day restored the Presidents Fair
Employment Practices Commit
tee to the war, agencies bill by
a 14-to-6 vote.
The subcommittee had voted Sat-
urday to eliminate the entire $780,

the agency for the year beginning

war agencies bill and the $3,920, ,570,-
900 measure for lease-lend and
United Nations Relief and Rehabin-
tation.
Amendment Rejected.
After FEPC had been restored to
the bill, Senator Russell, Democrat,

of Z to Z to include an amendment
he said was intended to obtain
fair employment practice for white
persons within the FEPC organi-
cation.
Senator Russell said the staff OF
FEPC consists Of 68 colored and 48
white employees. His amendment
provided that not more than Is
per cent of the $500,000 appropri-
alton could be used to employ men,
bers of any minority group COM
prising less than Is per cent Of the
total population.
The committee. however, adopted
an amendment reducing the salary
of Malcolm Ross, chairman OF
FEPC, from $4,000 under the House
bill, to 5000.
Thomas Offers Motion.
The motion to restore the agency,
which was created by presidential

YANKS CAPTURE FOREST E8 MILES INLAND
Russians Drive

BY the associated Press.

MOSCOW, June 12.-Launch-
ing major offensive designed
to knock Finland out of the war
and isolate approximately 100,-
900 Nazi troops in the northern
part of that country, the Red
Army rolled forward along the
Karelian Isthmus above Lenin-
grad today after cracking Fin
nish defenses on a 25-mile
front.
A communique last night an
nouncing the new drive said Soviet
troops already had advanced IL to Is

This offensive evidently was CO.

Troops under Col. Gen. Leonid
Govorov, who lifted the siege OF
Leningrad, launched the push Fri

CHUNGKING, June 12.-An
indication that the city of
Changsha was encircled was
contained tonight In a commu-
nique of the Chinese high COM
mand, which announced the
Japanese were assaulting the
Human Province capital inces-
sanity from all directions.
Invaders attacking from the east
reached a point only 6 miles from
the city, but attempts to cross the
Liuyang River directly to the east
were repulsed, the high command
said.
japanese troops, apparently striv-
ing to establish west wall" along
the Canton -Hankow railway to
protect their home islands, were re-
ported authoritatively to have
opened drive northward along the
rail line to match their southwark
offensive in the Changsha area.
A dispatch from United States
14th Air Force headquarters quoted
Maj. Gen. Claire L. Cherlnault as
saying the new enemy push from the
Canton area, combined with the bat
tie for beleaguered Changsha, had
brought the China war to its great
est pitch since 1888. Gen. Chennault
added that the Asiatic war could be
prolonged for years if the Japanese
cleared the railway and built de-
fensive positions along it.
Hammering at Changsha.
In the drive south along the rail-
way the Japanese are hammering at
the very gates of Changsha, the
Chinese high command announced
last night. The Japanese have
claimed capture OF Changsha, but
there was no confirmation of this

DemobiIization Plans
AIreadYF YFarAdvanced,
Byrnes Tells Senators
Brewster Cuse CoIIed
Error and Not 'Typieol';
Tox Changes Discussed
Ry LANES "a. NEWTON.

War Mobilization Director
Byrnes told q joint session OF
the Senate Postwar Planning
Committee and a Military Affairs
subcommittee today that the
armed services already are fai
advanced In planning demobili-
zation Of soldiers and sailors and
fur recontcrsion OF industrial
facilities pending the collapse OF
Germany. He said the Brewster
case was not typical" and was
due to an administration error.
Testifying on the Murray-G George
bill to give statutory authority to
the Once OF War Mobilization and
Postwar Adjustment, Mr.. Byrnes
said war taxation should end with
the war and that planning of post
war, Federal taxation should be
started now so that private capital
will be encouraged to invest in
peacetime pursuits needed to pre-
vent widespread unemployment after
the peace.
Treasury experts have been work
ing for some time on postwar rev.
enue legislation, he said, and he ex-
pressed q hope that the chairmen
of the Senate Finance and House
Ways and Means Committee would
ask their tax stats to undertake a
similar study so as to get in the
spade work this summer and fall.
Wants Action Before Recess.
Mr.. Byrnes told the committees
that the Government agencies work
ing on the demobilization and re-
conversion problem were terribly
handicapped" by the failure of Con-
gress so far to pass enabling legis-
lation for such important steps as
contract termination, reconversion
and disposal of surplus war proper
ties. He said it was most important
that contract termination legislation
which has passed the Senate and
is now before the House be finally
acted upon before a recess of Con-
gress.
He also urged that the Murray
George bill be passed before recess.
In reference to the termination
by the Navy of the contract with the
Brewster Corp. to build fighter
planes, Mr.. Byrnes declared, It
thought the Navy was absolutely
justified in cancellation of the con-
tract, but they were not justified in
failure to give more notice to the
Long Island plant"
Supplies for Another Plant.
Mr.. Byrnes pointed out that the
Brewster plant at Long Island City,
N. Y, made aircraft parts for the
company's plant at townsville, Pa,
which assemblies them. He said the
Navy overlooked the fact that the
Long Island plant had 80 days sup
ply of parts and that in giving 30
days notice to Brewster the Navy
actually gave no notice to the Long
Island plant. He added that the
WPB knew in advance of the pend
ing cancellation but were unsuccess-
full in an effort to get ordnance
work for the Brewster company. He
added that engineers would report
today whether plane parts made by
Brewster could be used by other
manufacturers making the same
fighter plane.
Mr.. Byrnes assured the Senators
that the Brewster case involved an
error of administration rather than
policy, and that in the future con-
tractors would be given ample no
tice of tempination.

OUR SwHIPBUILDING
ACCOMPLISHMENTS

WASHINGTON-The American Mer-
chant Marine has grown from 1910
ships totaling 11,850,0OO lightweight
tons when Pearl Harbor was attacked to
a Victory Fleet of more than S,4O0 ocean
going vessels of more than IS, 000, 900
lightweight tons, War Shipping Admins
traitor Emory S. Land stated in the first
formal report on the operations of the
merchant marine submitted to President
Roosevelt.
Noting that many of the accomplish
ments of VISA must remain covered by
the cloak of national security" Admiral
Land declared:
mo report can reflect the full credit
due the men and women who have built
and who have sailed our fighting mer-
chant ships into the very teeth Of our
enemy. Their story is being written in
the successful efforts of their brothers
in the armed services. Our merchant
seamen have delivered the goods, on time
and enough"
Land reported that 46,97l 900 tons of
dry cargo, AZ per cent more than in
1912, were moved last year, in the ratio
of 40 per cent army cargo, 10 per cent
navy cargo, 20 per cent lend-lease and
70 per cent raw materials and civilian
supplies. In spite of military demands,
VISA has been able to maintain an in
creased flow of essential imports, Land
said.
He also cited the Importance of repair
work necessitated by enemy action and
the elements. Last year IL 900 repair
Jobs and conversions were handled in
maritime yards, 1000 for other nations
under lend lease, Land reported.
Concerning the future, Land said:
"Rumors and armchair predictions of
the impending collapse Of our European
enemy have caused many to question
the continuation of our ship construction
end operations program. People forget
that the Merchant Marines job will not
stop with the declaration of peace in
Europe He pointed to the need to
supply six million American fighting men
overseas, many Of whom will remain to
create a lasting peace, and the task OF
winning the unconditional surrender Of
Japan.
