LICKING. Mo, Mar. 3.-After
four years of the horrors of war
and the mental torture of a Japa-
nese internment camp, 1t Beulah
Greenwalt came home today to the
quiet of this small Ozark town and
the bedside of her critically i'll
mother.
There was no reception for Peg

Were dependable Licking yesi-

to be with her mother, whom she
had not seen since 1941.
With her brothers, Cloyd and
Lloyd, 1t. Greenwalt entered her
mothers room early this afternoon.
No one else was admitted to the
home where Mrs. Caroline Green

cept under Little Steel or where
necessary to correct substandard
wages or under the policy of boost
ing pay to tried and tested going
rates" within locality.
Cases Pile Up on WLB.
In December, Mr.. Vinson wrote
WLB that it could not approve
fringe" adjustments until OPA
had investigated and determined
that price relief was unnecessary
WLB argued this gave OPA veto
power over their wage decisions
and insisted the "hold-the- line
order allowed Mr.. Vinson to ref
cree" such instances, giving equal
consideration to wage issues.
Both sides were adamant, and a
log-jam of undecided cases devel-
oped at WLB. Labor, particularly
textile and packing workers. be-
came FESTIVE and threatened strike.
Finally, 10 days go, WLB decided
the two big cases, conditioning de-
cision on solution of the differences.
The General Motors case, decided
yesterday, also was caught in the
jam, although price relief was not
involved.
In making decisions under the
new policy and within the fringe
limits, WLB would not necessarily
allow the maximum but would fol-
low industry and area wage prac-
tees.
Need for Revision Cited.
An illustration of the need for a
change in fringe" policy, the ex-
ample of two adjacent plants en-
gagged in substantially the same
work, was cited. One was efficiently
operated and so WLB granted a pay
raise since OPA ruled the concern
could absorb it without price relief
The other, less efficiently run. would
have to get a price increase to give
its workers the same advantage.
Officials said that it would be
manifestly unfair to deny employees
of the second plant the same wage
treatment accorded the first. There
have been instances where serious
manpower problems arose from just
such treatment.
Workers, it was said, are allowed
the fringe" increases until the time
when economic conditions permit
the easing of base wage controls.
Some union men have held that
everything labor wants is embodied
in the so-called fringe issues"
Despite the continuing pressure of
the big labor organizations to break
the Little Steel formula, it vas said
the Government was determined to
hold that line"

The company's side of the case

Ter, general manager, who said:
THE cause of these strikes is an
attempt by union employees to lower
the rates Of war production and to
produce at a lower speed during the
war than they did on similar work
during peace time.
This strike is an excellent
example of the lack of discipline
and responsibility within the union
and between the union and the in

trial suburb Of $4,000 and took hun
dreds of prisoners as they fought
toward the bridges.
One Italian, who said he had been
forced to labor for the Nazis. said
they had planned to destroy the
main highway bridge at o'clock
this morning-or before that If the
Americans started across it.
But the German Army engineers
got a little jittery. They were re-
ported to have planted tons of ex-
plosive in concrete pier spaces left
hollow for just such an emergency
when the bridge was built in 1929.
Wires to this dynamite cache were
said to have been set beneath 3 feet
OF concrete so that no American
artillery burst could cut. them and
thus forestall plans to destroy the
bridge.
Two venturesome Doughboys
strolled across the bridge at night.
They did not come back, but they
apparently made the Germans fear
full that the 9th Army might try
surprise attack, SO the German en-
gineers blew up a section of the
bridge late yesterday.
Then at 100 o'clock this morning
there was great explosion near
final huge blast near the eastern
side.
Approach is Seized,
The great crash of sound and
burst of flame signalling it's de-
struction came just as a patrol, led
by 1t William C. Shaw jr., of
Hutchinson, Kans., a company COM
mander, reached and seized the ap-
proach on the Neuss side.
That was one down-and two
to go.
The next objective in a street-by-
street cleanup was a steel railroad
bridge several blocks up the river.
Company *" led by 1t. Joseph w.
keenan, of Boston, Mass, jumped
off in night attack directed at
this span.
Resistance was fairly light" said
1t. Col. John Speedle of San An
tonic, Texas. They had to do a
little bayonet work, but they took %
prisoners during the night and so
more as soon as it was light enough
to see. One sergeant bayoneted two
Germans and captured another at
the first outpost they ran into.
Just as the Americans reached
the railway bridge the Germans
blew 1t up. The last rear guard
troops ran across the bridge and it
went up. The ferries had tried to
hold it with a paratroops outfit
brought down from the Canadian
front. Our boys thought at first
they were G.I.'s because they wore
khaki colored uniforms"
Third Bridge Goes Up.
The third bridge smaller high
way link-above the railway bridge
was reached by a tank and dough-
boy task force from battalion COM
manded by 1t. Col. George M.
Schuster of Marbert, Pa.
Ten tanks, four tank destroyers
and 100 infantrymen moved in a
left hook around the Arc of Neuss,
thrusting closest to Dusseldorf. Only
feeble resistance met them, except
for Smelling from the opposite river
banks where the Germans already
have set up strong ack-ack and ar,
tillery batteries.

Thomas Bragg Clarifies
Stand on Liquor Store

Thomas C. R. Bragg, president of
the East Central Civil Association,
issued a statement yesterday to
clarity the stand he took Friday
before the Alcoholic Beverage Con-
troll Board, opposing transfer of a
liquor store license nearer the
Martha Murray Washington Voca-
tional High School and the John F.
Cooke School.
MY association and I are 100 per
cent opposed to the removal of the
store from rs present location at
1888 NORTH Capitol street to 400
North Capitol street." Mr.. Bragg
said. He said he did not intend to
convey the impression, quoted in
The Star Friday, that he did not OBJ
ject so much to this one transfer as
he did to the number OF liquor stores
in the general area.
The case has been taken under
advisement by the board.

(by Paul Fairleigh) -
(from the Memphis Press Scimitar
1i Newspaper).
Dr. G. A. Long, pastor of the
Beale Street First Baptist Church,
Memphis, Tenn, was attacked and
severely beaten about the face and
head on the night of Dec. 10, The
Press-Scimitar learned today.
The minister told a reporter he re-
ceived a bruised eye and temple in
juries when attacked by two unident-
flied Negroes as he was attempting
to close his garage doors at his home
332 Vance.
He said he reported the matter to
police and that the officers request
ed him to make mo mention of the
smuggling to friends or relatives. A
reporter heard of the incident from
another source and asked DR.. Long
about it.
The two men stepped from behind
the left door of my garage as l at
tempted to close the door," DR.. Long
said. Without a word they started
smuggling me in the face and head.
After | was knocked down they fled.

William L. Dawson of Illinois stat
ed before the house Thursday. Jam
ua-y 4, 19b5 that establishment Of a
permanent Fair Employment Prac-

"fulfillment Of the biggest ideals Of
democracy" The statement of
the militant leader on the reintroduc-
ton of his bill for a permanent FE-
PC follows:
The events of the pats few non
tbs have shown beyond any question
Of argument the necessity Of utilizing
every bit of manpower, knowledge
and skill at our command in order to
save the lives of thousands of our
boys and girls. The tagging in pro-
duction of necessary war essentials
must necessarily be reflected in delay
in final victory accompanied by an in
crease in casualties.
I'VE on the home front should
leave no stone ~unturned to assure the
utilization of every American citizen
in all Jul efforts to bring this war
to a speedy close. 1t is the duty Of
the government to take the necessary
means to accomplish this. No piece
OF legislation can do more in this re-
spect than the establishment of a per-
inanent Fair Employment Practice
Committee whose duty it would be to
assure the use of every citizen ac-
cording to his knowledge and skill,
regardless of race, religion or nation
al origin.
Ii we are to maintain prosperity
and provide every citizen willing to
work with a job in the post war per-
iod, it is our duty to establish this
committee now and thereby lay the
