Sight Bataan

With mountainous Bataan hover
ing ahead in the distant haze, u.
S. motorized elements, followed by
the 10th division, swarmed onto
Clark Fields airdrome, 40 miles
above Manila.
Eager to avenge the gallant Yanks
who stood their ground so steadfast-
ly on Bataan in the early weeks of
the war, the advancing U. S. troops
encountered but little stiff opposition,
but farther to the north, on their
left flank, their comrades faced
strenuous enemy resistance.
1t was here that the Japs contin-
ued to put up their %stiffest fight from
entrenched mountain positions, in an
effort to check the Yanks' drive to
cut off their forces on the northeast
ern neck of Luzon. AS the Amer
leans creeped forward against the
embattled Japs, U. S. warships were
called upon to train their big guns OF

heavily pounded by field artillery.

O
Channel Workers.

Even as congress considered
"work or fight" legislation for 49,
100000 men in the Is to "A year
age group, the War Manpower COM
mission tested a new voluntary plan
for channeling employees from I'M
essential to essential industries in
Pennsylvania, New Jersey and Della
ware.
Under the WINGS new plan,
the number of workers unessen-
tial plants can retain is reduced,
with men released then offered
suitable jobs in essential indus
try. If they refuse to accept,
the United States Employment
service will not give them a re-
ferral card, necessary for OBJ
tanning work elsewhere.
Under the work-or-fight legislation
shaped by congress, workers in less
essential jobs would be asked to
shift to more critical employment
by their local draft boards, with the
latter then ordering them to trans
fer if they failed to act voluntarily.
Physically fit men violating the or
der would be indicted into the army
while the physically unfit would be
liable to fine and Imprisonment.

Shape Controls

In an effort to increase the output
of more essential apparel like work
clothes, children's wear and under
wear, the War Production board re-
vealed that it would grant priority
assistance to manufacturers pro-
ducing such goods from cotton, wool
and rayon.
At the same time, the Office of
Price Administration announced
plans for reducing present clothing
prices from 6 to z per cent by fixing
costs at the average level of the first
half of l943. In reporting it's plans,
OPA said that better than 100 per
cent rise in the nations clothing bill
from 1899 to 1943 threatened the
whole anti-inf1ation program.
Although the effect of the WPB's
program will eliminate luxury cloth
ing, medium-priced apparel, along
with essential grade, will continue
to be made, it was said. Quality of
cheaper garments will be controlled
to provide maximum serviceability.

JOB PLAN:
Full EMPLOYMENT Goal

In the first legislative proposal to
provide full employment in the post
wal period, four Democratic n
tors introduced a bill under which
the President would be empowered
to furnish full employment if private
industry failed in the goal.
Sponsored by Senators Murray
(Mont.), Wagner IN. ", Thomas
(Utah) and O'Mahoney (Wyo.), the
bill would require the President to
estimate possible employment by
government and industry each year,
and then institute measures for TAX
ing up any slack.
According to provisions of the bill,
these measures could include propo-
sails for encouraging private invest
ment, or a federal spending pro-
gram, primarily consisting of the
construction of public works.

WAR FREIGHT:
Emergency Control

With severe winter weather con-
tinuing in the northeast, with tenn
p%eratures in many parts of New
York and adjacent states down to
80 degrees below zero and billiards
piling up snoWdrifts, temporary
stringent regulations were main
taincd on rail traffic in 10 states
both east and south of the Great
Lakes in an effort to move war
freight.
Although originally permitted to
move into the congested area, live
stock and poultry, fresh and frozen
meat, coal and coke were later tenn
porarily barred from shipment
along with less essential civilian
freight. Passenger service also was
curtailed in the original regulation.
Requested by the Office of De-
Tense Transportation, and volun-
tarily complied with by the rail-
roads, the restrictions we're ex-
pected to as a model for
future regulation of rail traffic in
emergencies to provide for the
movement of goods for overseas
shipment and necessary material to
vital industrial plants.

When President Roosevelt asked

Having severed the rich agr1cul-

From Silesia northward, the Ger
