deluge of pressures is felt every day on
individual price increase applications.
These pressures come from business men,
companies, chambers of commerce, trade
associations, the National Chamber of
Commerce, the National Association of
Manufacturers, and others. Similar pres
sures from labor or consumer groups on
the day-to-day activities of 0PA are al
most negligible. To wage a really effec-
tive fight against the rising cost Of living,
Labor must be in more intimate touch
with what goes on in key government
agencies and departments. BY no means
should it be content with liaison men APP
pointed by an agency to act as its apollo
gists to Labor.
What has been said of pressures ON gov
ernment agencies applies with equal force
to the Department Of Labor, and to the
Bureau of Labor Statistics. These pres
sures also leave their marks upon the cost
of living index. despite its factual basis.
To them must be attributed much of the
indeX's false construction and downward
bias. New pressures from Labor and gen
eral criticism may result in an improved
index, but scarcely a perfect one.
The Thomas-Meany report is Of the ut
most value to the wage drive, and steps
should be taken to popularize it among
your members. Emphasis should be
placed upon the injustice Of a 15% IN
crease in the cost Of living, particularly as
cut-backs threaten shorter hours and an
end to overtime. Automatic adjustments
Keyed to the cost of living should be
sought SO that the battle, once won, won't
have to be fought all over again.

PRESSURES ON

Labor must come to a fUIIer re|aT7ZafIOn

agencies move with the pressures eXerted
upon them. Some, Of course, are more
firm han others. Nevertheless, those
wellintentioned individuals in govern
ment agencies who wish to stand up for
the consumer in spite of p%ressures from
inflationary sources find themselves faced
with a well-night hopeless task unless
they can obtain pressures from consumers
to eounterbalance those coming from
businessmen and spectators. This is
particularly the case inside 0PA where a

Czechs Flee to Slovakia

The Slovakian uprising has caused
the German authorities in Czech terri
tory to take precautionary measures
against the occurrence of similar events
there. Since great number of Czech
youths from Bohemia and Moravia have
gone to Slovakia, the frontier posts have
been manned by German police, and the
Czech military frontier guards have
been removed. -
In many places in Moravia, near the
Slovakian border, the Czech gem
darmerie has been disarmed because
many Of the Czech gendarmes fled to
Slovakia with their arms in order to
support the newly established Czecho-
slovakian authorities.
New waves Of mass arrests are sweep
ing the country.
The authorities have ordered = new
registration Of the Czech population in
order to check the names Of those who
crossed the Slovakian frontier. Their
families are to be shot. Papers of iden-
tifcation are being constantly and
thoroughly checked by the police. The

true for the Sd Fleet, which had been
out there preparing the way for quite
time 1t is an exacting and wearing
task to keep the sea in dangerous waters
with large complex feet through week
after week
Our 5th Fleet had to beat of only one
attempt by the Japs, but it had to hold
the ring for nearly two months on end
while Saipan. Tinian and Guam were
being captured. The Sd Fleet had been
doing the same thing under even more
tiring conditions because it was still
farther west.
That 24-hour constant vigil with no
letup is firing for every one on board.
For instance, consider the flyers who
had been doing combat mission at long
range every day. Even if no combat
is involved. it's quite a chore to fly
several hundred miles out from a car
rier, find the way back to wherever she
is and get safely on board again.
No modern fleets have ever before
kept the sea SO continuously under such
exacting conditions, and the Japs had
ground for assuming that the men of
our feet would be tired. They prob
ably were. but-as it seems to have
turned out--not too tired.
Whatever the motivation-despera-
tion, hope of finding our own naval
cover too sparse, a guess that we could
be caught napping-the Jap Fleet came
out much farther from its homeland
than some expected 1t looks as though
the Japs brought out about all the ships
they had ready. They seem to have
been more adequately supplied with
battleships than with any other type.
The enemy fleet approached in three
well-separated detachments. To some
that is an unusual tactic. The Japs
have repeatedly used something Of the
sort. and, in fact, their naval tactics
have not been stereotyped in any of
the campaigns. Any one can speculate
! at length over the enemy's latest tao
tical plan-just how he hoped things
would break and so on-for no doubt
there was studied tactical scheme.
Whatever it was, success was bound
to depend upon adherence to a time
schedule, and that is difficult
1t cannot be said from what is now
known that the japanese attempt was
unpromising. Yet they failed-most
decidedly. They we're overmatched,
they encountered superior quality and
technique in all arms, they we're up
against keener fighting edge and
they coped with leaders who are
smarter than their own. The Japs
can't properly claim bad luck, for only
| their good luck held losses down to
what theyvwere.
The Japanese have been repeatedly
! defeated on, over and under the sea.
Their seapower is now badly depleted,
but they still have something left. As
long as that is the case Admiral Nimitz's
forces will continue to burn and sink
| them.
