PACIFIC:
BOmbers Actiue

With thousands of Japanese troops
stranded on the enemy's string of
outer defense islands from the
Solomons down to New Guinea, Gen.
Douglas MacArthur's air command
concentrated on the bombardment
of shipping lanes through which sup
plies might seep to bolster the sag
ging garrisons.
AT the same time, Adm. Chester
Nimitz revealed that navy planes
continued their attack upon the stra-
tegic BONN islands, which lie APP
proximately 600 miles from the
japanese mainland and just above
the U. =. occupied Marianas, in an
effort to soften up these stepping
stones to Tokyo.
In pressing their bombardments,
General MacArthur's airmen ranged
over Mindanao, important basing
point for enemy shipping in the
southern Philippines. '

WAGES:
AFL Wants Boost

Declaring that the President pos.
sessed the power to raise wages,
and that the sterilization act call
ing for a balance in the nations
economy afforded him the grounds
for such a move, the executive
council of the American Federation
of Labor asked for abandonment of
the Little Steel" formula, limit
ing pay increases to Is per cent of
the January, 1941, level.
At the same time, the council char
tered the International Office Work
ers union, which would embrace a
vast number of w~hite-collar en-
ployees, who, as a class, have felt
the squeeze of rising living costs
more than any other group, since
most wage increases have been en-
joyed in the heavier war-boomed
industries.

ANTITRUST:
Railroads Named

Charging maintenance of non
competitive rates, prevention of inn
provementS and facilities of west
ern lines, and s%uppressing develop
ment of other forms of ~transporta-
ton, the government filed an anti
trust suit against the Association of
American railroads; the Western
Association of Railway Executives;
At railroads; and the investment
houses of j. P. Morgan and Com
pany and Kuhn, Loeb and Company.
Focusing its attention on western
rail operations, the government de-
clared that establishment of higher
rates in that territory than in the
east placed it at a competitive dis
advantage, r~etarding its economic
growth. The government also
claimed that movement of perish
able commodities has been delayed
by unwillingness to speed up sched-
ules, and efforts have been made
to stunt the development of truck
and water transport.
In naming j. P. Morgan and Com
pany and Kuhn, Loeb and Company
In the suit, the government charged
that they controlled major railroad
financing and possessed substantial
industrial interests in the East.

EUROPE:
NaziS Pull Back

AS fast = moving Allied forces
pushed the Nazis back throughout al
of France, German spokesman hint
ed that Hitler's high command
planned a withdrawal to the Reich
frontier so as to concentrate the
greatest number of men on a short
line.
But even as the Nazis fell back,
swift armored thrusts by the U. S.,
British and French continued to
slash at the harassed enemy's TANKS
and threaten his enlightenment from
the rear, and clouds of Allied planes
roared over the battle-lines to dip
low and gun the retreating German
columns.
With the bulk of their forces
crowded in the area Immediately
north and south of Paris, the
Germans put up their stiffest
rearguard resistance in this re-
gion. In southern France, Lieut..
Gen. Alexander M. Patch's Sew
enth army famed out quickly in
all directions, with only scat
tered bands of enemy troops
standing up briefly to slow the
Allied drive.
After capture of the great French
Mediterranean port of Marseille,
American engineers went to work
quickly to restore facilities damaged
by the Germans and enable the AL
lies to funnel supplies quickly to
their armies in the south. Use of
Marseille's installations would re-
lieve the troublesome practice Of
landing supplies on the sandy
beaches in shallow-draft craft.
Armistice arrangements for the
German evacuation of Paris having
fallen through, Free French armored
Columns were compelled to fight
through a Green of Nazi defenders
to liberate the city, with heavy U. S.
howitzers backing up Gen. Charles
de Gaulle's troops, and helping to
break enemy resistance. Occupa-
ton of Paris with it's 5000, 900
people in need of food and fuel for
utilities, posed a supply problem for
the Allies.

Turbulent Balkans

With formation of a peace govern
ment in Rumania, Adolf Hitler's I'M
steady grip on the turbulent Balkans
grew unsteadier, with Rumania's de-
lection threatening to topple Ger
many's whole southeastern front.
AS young King Michael an
nOunced his cOuntry's willing
ness to accept Allied peace
terms, Russia called for Ru-
m~ania's expulsion of German
troops from her homeland, or a
war against Hungary to clear
the latter from Pennsylvania, as
the price of armistice terms.
Even as Rumania acted to quit
Germany, Bulgarian peace pro-
posals repeatedly were forwarded to
the Allies, who were said to have
insisted upon the Bulgars' withdraw
al from all occupied Grecian and
Yugoslav territory as one Of the
armistice terms.
To prevent any peace factions
from obtaining a grip in Hungary,
the Nazi-inspired regime dissolved
all political parties, including the
conservative elements.
Russ Pressure
Figuring in the Balkan countries
swing toward the Allied camp was
the Russians power-house drive
bearing down from northern Ru-
mania.
AS the Reds hurled their might
at the enemy lines, they bored down
on the Galati Gap between the Tran
sylvanian Alps and Black sea, bar
ring the way to the heart of Ru-
mania and the Ploesti oil fields.
From this region, there was short
going before the Reds would reach
the Bulgarian frontier.

USE OF AUTOS: A recent survey
discloses that IA per cent of car
owners are driving their autos less
than half the peacetime mileage.
This reduction has come about
through shorter and fewer trips rath-
er than the laying up of cars for
the duration. Gasoline and tire "a
tioning have combined with patri-
otto motives to lessen car use, the
SURVEY continued.

A~CRICULTUKE:
Seek to AuOid CIut

Looking forward into the postwar
world with all Of its economic prob
lens, the War Food administration
has sought to develop a procedure
designed to avoid the accumulation
of vast stores of surplus foods which
might constitute a market threat
when hostilities cease.
Under VIA plans, the agency now
buys food only for f~oreseeable de-
mands, and declares that any COM
modities required for relief in liber-
ated countries will first be with
drawn from surplus army and lend
lease stocks before purchases are
made in the domestic market.
In establishing a surplus sales
division, which is to sell current
food stocks when demand is high to
make Don for fresh supplies, the
VIA has set up machinery for fu-
