British Advance.
On Adriutic

ROME, Aug. %. (UP)-British
Eighth Army Polish troops, pushing
northWard IN general gains along a
l5-mile front extending inland from
the Adriatic sea, advanced seven
miles beyond the Metauro river
Monday and sent spearheads across
the tiny Arzilla river at point five
miles southeast of the important
coastal town of PeSaro.
Gains were made elsewhere along
the italian front as the Germans
withdrew towards their fortified
Gothic line to the north.
Fossombrone, IS miles inland, and
FanC, both on the main lateral road
leading to the Adriatic, have been
occupied by Polish troops, while
between those points their line was
extended in a bulge northward with
the capture of Cartoceto, two miles
northwest of Saltarra, the seizure
of Monte Della Mattera, two miles
northwest of Cartoceto, and an ad-
vance one mile northwest of Monte
Della Mattera to the high ground
around Monticello.
With majority of the German
troops reported to have withdrawn
behind the Arzilla river, RAF heavy
bomberS came to the assistance of
the advancing Polish troops and for
the second successive night pounded
targets in the Pesaro area last night.
The planes hit enemy troop con-
centrations, gun positions an d
equipment depots in the Pesaro
area, it was anr unced.

He made his new appeal as the
House prepared to begin debate
Tuesday on the entire question OF
unemployment compensation TOR
war workers. with prospects OF
bitter floor fight between admins
tration Democrats and Republicans
over the extent Of such aid.
Debate will center around Georges
Senate-approved bill which the
House ways and means committee
amended to remove sections for eX-
tending social security to federal
workers, providing up TO 500 to re-
turn war workers to their home
areas and authorizing retraining OF
war workers at government expense
Declaring that the government
won't remain a big employer
when tie war enters its concluding
stages. George said that 3,5OO,OOO
federal employees would be one OF
the first large groups to feel the
axe of unemployment. He said the
deleted provisions OF his bill should
be reinstated in the House or when
the measure goes to conference pc
tween the House and Senate.

Celler. ID, New York, to increase
the benefit payments with the fed

Celler originally favored benefits
up to S35 a week. as was proposed
in the Murray-Kilgore bill which
the Senate, paced by coalition OF
Republicans and conservative DEM

measure. The George bill would
leave standards up to the individual

WAR-PRODUCTION BOARD
ROW is DISGRACE

Despite his emphatic and, as usual
caustic denials at press conferences and
at large, that anything had gone wrong
with the War Production Board, the
commander-in-ch has placed a naval
officer in charge and tacitly has admitted
that Donald NJ. Nelson, director now en-
route to China on a secret mission will
not resume his post when he returns.
Thus again has the public been hood
wnked as to what actually was going on
and was enlightened only through the
insstence of the press for plain facts.
In turning the WPB over to a lieuten-
ant commander who rarely has been
heard of in the war, the President said,
take it and run it Just stock phrase
as that is the way he has put it up to
every new appointee to some bureau job
only to proceed to shear them of all
powers.
Naming the naval officer brought to a
climax a bitter dispute between Nelson
and Charles E. Wilson, vice president of
the bureau over recOnversion plans. Why
should there have been this row in a bur
eau that might possibly function to ad-
vantage between the end of the war and
the time congress decides to Danish bur
eaus? A case of everybody wanting to be
boss and none of them actually having
authority to make a move without presi
Dental okeh. One element entering into
the dispute if not the whole cause. was
difference of opinion as to whether the
military or civilians should dominate the
reconverson program. 1t was victory
for the military as the bureau now has a
naval officer as chief and as such he is
well trained and drilled in taking orders
from someone higher up. trait not we'll
set up in the nature of Wilson and to
some extent as to Nelson.
The change does at least remove any
chance for the public to kid itself that
any bureau chief is that in reality and to
remove any doubt that the whole new
deal administrative set-up is in a mess.
An example of this fact is the fantastic
manipulatons Of the War Manpower
Commission, the War Food Administra-
ton and the Office of Price Administra-
tion in handling food production and
rationing.
If it does require a host of bureaus to
run things it is too bad that the one that
should be the handspring in the recovery
program, the WPB should be rendered
impotent by the dictatorial methods so
plainly revealed in this disgraceful row.

COUNTY GETS SET FOR
POSTWAR ACTIVITIES

Encouragement marks the progress of
Imperial County toward the launching of
a well-rounded Postwar program. 1t is
to be expected the next meeting, slated
soon, of the All-County committee will
square away and present definite and
expansive set-up.
Councils in the various cities Of the
county, chambers of commerce, civic and
church bodies pretty generally have made
blue prints of the needs Of the communi-
ties. Among the latest body to swing
into action is the county section of the
California League of Cities. Energetic
citizens make up these various groups.
Care has been taken that preliminary
plans do not overlap and that perma-
iency marks all approved or suggested
projects.
The county's plan will move into
fixed place in the state program as a
whole and there is every reason to believe
that when the green light is given to
move, all California will be prepared and
that its program will meet every need for
speed and progress in the reconyarsion
and reconstruction period

DALLAS, Aug. 20. tUP)-M. d.
Miller. new regional vice president
in charge of traffic for American

possibility that Dallas may become
an international air freight terminal

planes operating between this coun-
try, Mexico and South America.
In Dallas recently to confer with
ether executives on postwar plans
for expansion of air traffic in the

ARMISTICE DAY

lone of the students in the Eng fish class of Wrangell high school wrote the following excellent ar tieIe in regard to Armistic Day, and the best way to commemorate it.)
 The most appropriate way to ob- serge Armistic Day this year is to buy War Stamps, according to views expressed in world history class at Wrangell high.
 In World War II there are likely to be two new armistice days, one when the last German army surren- ders and one when the Japanese lay down their arms. There are diff ferent ways to celebrate these ocea- sions. which will be bought by wounds. death, and sorrow. One way is to riot in the streets, throw ing confetti, breaking windows, and getting drunk.
 Another way is to observe a few minutes of silence, Io attend meet ings in churches, to express with dignity the relief we feel because Lne war is oyer. There will be no call for childish or barbaric joy. Too many will have fallen. The kind ot celebration on Armistice Day in lgI6 would be an insult to those in aeep grief or in anxiety for their loved ones.
 This year we think Armistice Day can be made a time for comemmor- ation and dedication by buying War stamps to help end the war.
