BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

Reopening of 200 lumber yards
in the Detroit area yesterday
brought a step nearer the end OF
a work stoppage which mas kept
more than 10000 workers idle since
July 10.
Settlement of several other
strikes frightened the national la
Dor picture somewhat, but walk
out of approximately 5000 workers
at the Wright Aeronautical Corpo-
ration's Woodbridge N. j., plant
virtually halted production of P-29
engines there.
Still idle across the country, how
ever, were upwards Of $4,000 toll
ers, excluding the Detroit area lum-
Der workers.

Just one hour later, he issued 4
second communique reporting that
American and British carrier
planes renewed their heavy attaQes
on Japanese warships and mer-
chant vessels at dawn today.
The new carrier attacks center
ed in the Kure Naval region and
at Kobe. Other military targets
were detectives.
Nimitz did not report the strength
of today's carrier assaults, but it
was presumed they were nearly as
heavy as yesterdays when well
over 1000 Yank and British pilots
struck along a 325-mile length OF
japanese territory.
Japan had possibly its worst
bombing Of the war yesterday, for
more than 600 BIOS (Tokyo said
more than 1000 joined in the strikes
to attack oft-bombed Osaka and
Nagoya war industries. Other ar
nv air strikes at Japan ran the
total spreading ruin over the Nip
ponese homeland to 1000 or more.
With reports from Admiral Hal
sey covering less than half of yes
terday's action by well over LOCO
American and British aircraft in
a 325-mile sweep from Northern
Kyushu through the inland sea to
Nagoya, Fleet Admiral Nimitz an
nounced these results:
Two battleships, the Ise and Hy-
uga, heavily damaged.
Heavy cruiser Tone and light
cruiser Oyodo left burning fierce
| ly.
Heavy cruiser Aoba damaged.
One large aircraft carrier dam
aged.
These warships were caught at
Kure Naval base and damaged by
American carrier pilots.
The British, attacking to the
north, damaged a Kobe type es-
cort carrier in waters north OF
! Takamatsu on Shikoku Island.
The British also damaged two
freighters near Suta, on the Shl-
koku coast, and sank small coas-
tai cargo vessele, three luggers and
four junks, all caught also in TIE
inland sea.
For the first time in the Is days
Halsey's fleet has prowled Japa-
nese home waters, the enemy put
up some aerial resistance.

PARIS, July "a P) - Under
scofching cross - examination
at the treason trial of Marshal
Philippe Petain, former French
Premier Paul Reynaud revealed
the secret fact today that in May
1910 France and Britain consider
cd buying off Mussolini's entry in
to the war by giving Italy territor-
ial rights in Africa.
Reynaud said he made the sug-
gestion to Britain himself, al
though he opposed the plan. The
plans were scuttled, he said, by
the opposition of Prime Ministe
Churchill of Britain.
World figures by the dozen, and
the opposition of Prime Minister

ions with Germany, were dragged
into the limelight as former Pre-
mier Edouard Daladier joined
Reynaud in testifying against Pc
tain on the second day of the aged

TO HELP RECRUIT

WASHINGTON, July 24.-P)-
The Senate War Investigating com
mittee today put its weight behind
the drive to recruit $4,000 railroad
workers needed to help bread the
redeployment transportation jam.
The committee joined Defense
Transportation Director j. Monroe
johnson in pleading for assignment
of more workers to the overloaded
Western trunk lines. The urgency
of the need recently was empaa-
sized by President Truman in a
message sent after his departure
for the Big Three conference in
Berlin. ..
Committee Chairman Mead 3D.

ton with the War ManpoWer Com
mission, the War Department, Sc
Selective Service. the Railroad Re
tirement Board, ard airy other or
ganization that might be able 10
help.

simplest solution would be to dis
charge enough experienced rail-
readers from the Army, or al
least furlough them.

road men in the Army" he de-
clared.

he wasn't going to recruit them

On Peace Forces

WASHINGTON, July 2l up
Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg tR.)
Mich, suggested that the President
be required to notify congress any
time he authorizes his delegate to
the new world organization to vote
for use of force against an aggreS-
sor
Vandenberg said he believed such
a provision should be written into
legislation setting up the office of
delegate to the United Nations Sec
urity Council 7 should not, he
said, be placed III the United Ma
tons charter itself, which the SEN
ate expects to ratify next week.
VIEWS EXCHANGED
Vandenberg, a delegate to the San
Francisco conference where the
charter was drafted, outlined his
views after Sen. E. H. Moore, (R.)
Okla, introduced resolution prp-
posing that the delegate report to
congress before voting for the use
Of sanctions.
Moore offered his resolution with
the suggestion that the senate adopt
il as a statement of policy before
ratifying the treaty.
He proposed that the policy be-
come a covenant to the subsequent
treaty in which it is proposed to sti-
pulate the exact amount of military
force this nation will make available
Tor use by the security council.
Vandenberg agreed with the prin-
ciple that congress should be kept
Informed of any steps which might
involve the United States in the i'm
position of military sanctions.
Any vote that the delegate casts
in that connection, he said, "Ob-
viously will be only at the direction
OF the president OF the United
States
CITES PROCEDURE
Therefore, he continued, any time
the President gives the delegate
such an authorization, he should
simultaneously notify the congress.
Vandenberg said it would be ut
terly silly to think that any one
could put us into war without the
approval of the congress"
If that ever happened" he de-
clared, congress could within "a
hours withdraw all the money and
you can't fight war without mon
ey."
Moore's resolution was referred
to the senate foreign relations COM
mittee and members indicated that
il would die there without action.
