"But" you say, steaks are scarce and expensive. Steaks
are rationed. Steaks have gone to war"
That's right : and there are good reasons why.
But is it any less wonderful that you CAN still get electric

Our folks have done their war jobs SO quietly and well that
it's easy to take 'em for granted. We hope you won't : that
you'll remember their hard work as you use radio, range,
refrigerator, washer, cleaner and the other electric servants
that make wartime living SO much easier.
What you can take for granted is the fact that your friends

The Daily Worker, edited by
Browder, published in full an H.

Browder, former secretary Of

in a foreword that Duclos' article
reflects the general trend OF opin-

most respectful attention"
1T has been clear at all times
that the end of the war in Europe
would require a fundamental re-

Marxists," Browder said, adding:

Troops of three crack American

|Yanks Throw
Two Bridges
Across Asato
JUNCTION PLANNED
Full Dressed Frontal As
,ault Batters Fortress
OF Shuri

GUAM, Friday, May 25.-UD-
American Marines threw two bridg-
es across the Asato river on the
west coast Of Okinawa Thursday
and sent infantry units storming
into the ruined capital OF Naha IN
force as troops driving westward
from Yonabaru made important
gains toward a junction with the
Marines that would encircle per-
haps 10000 Japanese troops.
A full-dress frontal assault bat
tered the powerful central fortress
of Shuri as the Yank columns on
the west and east drove toward
meeting on the Naha-Y onabaru
highway below the embattled
stronghold.
Heavy mud slowed most opera
tons along the curving severn
mile front which has virtually en-
circled Shuri.
The Marines crashed through
Japanese defenses along the south
ern bank Of the Asato river flow
ing through Naha and throughout
Thursday reduced enemy strong
points one by one. Their bridge
head was steadily expanded as in-
fantry units drove into the rubbed
streets of the capital.
At least one of the two bridges
thrown across the Asato by Maj.
Gen. Lernuel c. Shepherd, Jr.'s
Sixth Marine Division was believ-
ed large enough to carry vehicles.
The bridges were built despite
heavy fire from Japanese artillery
in Naha. The city Is bisected by

did not report the extent Of gains
made by Maj. Gen. Archibald v.
Arnold's Seventh Division tanning
out from captured Yonabaru. But
the veteran soldiers hacked out
important advances in sharp fight
ing as they pushed through the
Kokuba river valley below Shuri.

tense system between the two coast
cities showed signs Of crumbling

U. S. PLANS DRIVE
ON TAX CHISELERS
5000 Agents To Be Re-

WASHINGTON, May "a. -U.H-
Treasury Secretary Henry Morgen-
thau, Jr., disclosed today that he
will Immediately recruit 5000 ad-
ditional agents to ferret out income
tax chiselers in the biggest such
drive ever put on by the govern

He announced his plan at press
conference after denouncing mil

owner, who, he said, had Overlook

Morgenthau said the New York
case was merely one of many.
I'VE can't handle this task with
the 1,5O0 investigators we have
now," he added.
The anti-chisler drive was begun
last winter, centering first on war
rich free spenders in Miami and
other cities. Later it was extended
to the entire country and the treas

In the New York case, he said,
his agents became suspicious OF

France came along with a sug-
gestjon that the social and econo-
mic council try to promote logical
and orderly distribution Of raw
materials throughout the world.
This, too, was turned over to a
drafting committee.
The French argued that proper
distribution of such supplies would
help promote full employment
among nations.
In the same committee, Ameri-
can delegate Virginia Gildersleeve
dropped her battle against listing
the promotion of full employment
as an aim of the council. Some
United States delegates feared in
clusion Of this goal might open
way for a world organization to
interfere in domestic affairs.
To counter this apprehension, the
committee was reported to have
revised the wording to make clear
that International collaboration in
the interests of full employment
did not mean dabbling in a coun-
trys internal business.
Many statesman assembled from
over the globe have felt that how
well the proposed world charter
