Use Of Corn Banned
In Whisky Making

Distillers win continue to manu-
facture beverage alcohol during Au-
gust, although on a much reduced
basis from this month, but there
will be no corn available for max
ing bourbon until further notice.
Secretary of Agriculture Anderson
so directed yesterday in letter to
WPB Chairman Krug. Mr.. Ander-
son had been reported prepared to
deny all grain to distillers after the
July liquor making holiday"
The Secretary allocated $500 600
bushels Of grain other than corn
but including malt, for distillers
use during August. Offlcials said
this would be sufficient to permit
them to operate at between 20 and
Is per cent of capacity.
1t also will serve to keep dis.
tillerS on a standby basis for a pos
sible return to production of alco-
hol for war use.
The ban on the use of corn and
the limitation on use of other grains
was established in order to conserve
grain for both food and livestock
feed. Crop experts are concerned
over a threatened shortage of feed
grains next winter.
Mr.. Anderson said a decision will
be made later whether additiona.
grain will be allocated for beverage
alcohol after August.

Navy Has 1900 Ships
On Fifth Anniversary
|0f ocean Program

The Navy today celebrated the 5th
birthday Of the two-ocean feet pro-
gram with the greatest array of
fighting vessels assembled by any
Nation in world history-more than
500 craft of 4,433, ,418 tons.
On July 10, 1910, when President
Roosevelt signed a bill rushed
through Congress after the fall of
France to prepare America for the
present war, the United States feet
consisted of 1888 combat ships of
1913 800 tons. This legislation pro-
yided for 10 per cent increase In
the feet.
| Tonnage Increased Threefold.
The moroccan" bill and subse-
quent legislation increased the sea
arm more than threefold in tom
mage and more than fourfold in
the number of combat vessels.
And the end is not here. Today
America has under way a building
program which, in 1947, will have
added to the current fleet bat
tleships, 45-000-ton aircraft car
riers, 8 27,100-ton carriers, 2 14,500-
ton carriers, 26 escort carriers, a
large cruiser, % heavy cruisers, Is
light cruisers, 81 destroyers, 16 de-
stroyer escorts, including IL con-
verted to hight-speed transport, and
SO submarines. The greater part OF
this program will be completed this
year and next.
Today's 1,500-ship feet takes no
account of noncombat vessels such
as landing craft, tank ships, salvage
vessels, tugs, and the little PIT
boats which have done some very
effective punching against the
enemy. When these are added, the
Navy can count more than 100 ZOO
vessels.
These 1900 ships do not include
either the vast tonnage which was
built and turned over to America s
allies or the 140 vessels of combat
class which have been lost since
Pearl Harbor.
In the five years since the Two
Ocean Act was signed, there have
been built in 8 navy and 20 pri-
vate yards, 10 battleships, 10 carriers
Of the 25,0o0-ton Essex class, 8
fast carriers, converted from cruiser
hulls, 112 escort carriers, or baby
f1at-tops, converted from merchant
hulls; 2 large cruisers, 10 heavy
cruisers. SO light cruisers, 370 de-
stroyers. 548 destroyer escorts and
210 submarines
On Hand Prior to Act.
When the act was signed the Navy
had on hand Is battleships, 6 air.
craft carriers, IS baby cruisers, 10
light cruisers, 225 destroyers and 100
submarines. On the same date,
either on the building ways or un-
dergoing completion, we're 49 ships,
including z battleships-6 of these
being in the 35,000-ton class, and /,
the Iowa, 45.000-tonner: / aircraft
carrier, the original Hornet; light
cruisers, % destroyers and l3 sub
marines.
In 1914 some 10000 new naval
vessels of all types were added to
the fleet, representing a total Of ap-
proximately 5,500,o0o tons. The
high-water mark of the building
program was reached in May, 1914
when 4,506 naval vessels were de-
livered into service, representing q
total Of All ,237 tons.

Col Waugh said all the sentences
were subject to review by the legal
subcommission of the Allied Com
mission in Rome, which will recon-
mend final disposition to Rear Ad-
miral Ellery Stone, chief commits
sioner. If the death sentence lis
upheld Lini will be executed by a
firing squad.
The factional press represented
the case, the first of its kind in
Northern Italy, as a trial merely
for the illegal possession of weap-
ons in violation Of an Allied Mill
tary Government proclamation. Col
Waugh said that charge actually
was merely a minor count.
Witnesses testified two Fascists
were killed by man named Forti,
who was member OF the band, on
direct orders of Lini. According to
the testimony, Forti then robbed
the bodies of both victims and paid
Lini, Colombo and Lovati 1000 lire
($10) each out of the proceeds.
Forti still is at large.

originally belonged to a legitimase
Garibaldi partisan brigade, but on
the order Of leader known as 1.-THE
Mustache" they failed to obey an
Allied proclamation to disband
"TIhe Mustache" now is In custody
and will be tried separately, prob

in Contract
Are Not Admirable,
ITU President Says
Ey the Associated prsA.


/ CHICAGO, July 19.-Inclusion Of
international Typographical Union
laws in labor contracts with daily
newspaper publishers, according to
|ITU President Woodruff Randolph.
"is not arbitrable-they have to be
there" but newspaper representa-
tive asserts the AFL unions 1945
laws Invade the field of collective
bargaining"
"The real danger in blanket ac-
ceptance of these laws" Harvey
Kelly, general counsel on labor for
the Hearst newspapers, told WLB
hearing yesterday, ''is the creation
of precedent that publishers must
accept these things, hook, line and
sinker."
Mr.. Randolph and MIR. Kelly pre-
sented arguments yesterday before
the WLB's Daily Newspaper Com
mission at a hearing on dispute
case between the TTU and the Bal
timore newspapers, including the
Sunpapers, News-Post and Sunday
American. Involved also were wages,
vacation and holiday pay and other
benefits.
Challenges Jurisdiction.
Mr.. Randolph, as in similar
hearing Tuesday in case involy-
ling the San Antonio (Tex0 news
pers, told the commission it does not
have within its jurisdiction the
right to pass on the ITU laws or
whether they should or should not
be included in contracts. The COM
mission, as in the San Antonio case,
took the Baltimore case under con-
slderation. They were the first cases
of series in which the controver-
sial union laws question was in
volved.
| Representatives of the newspapers
and the ITU were questioned at
length on the subject of the union
laws and what new 1945 laws the
publishers opposed.
Mr.. Kelly told the commission
the blank check law" was "the
principal and most Objectionable
one. He described this law as a
clause under which, when any arbi-
tration to which local is COM
mitted becomes deadlocked, the local
may request the ITU Executive
Council to release it from further
arbitration obligations and the Ex-
ecutive Council may do SO.
Could Blackjack" Publisher.
"a union could create a deadlock,
and yet the publisher has authorized
in advance the ITU Executive
Council to release the union from
its arbitration obligations" Mr..
Kelly said. Under those conditions
a publisher could be blackjacked
into accepting any Interpretation of
any clause in the contract-it is
subordinating the contract to the
union laws"
The ITU president, in reply. as
serted that Mr.. Kelly was talking
of what could be, of suppositions.
Mr.. Randolph said that in Baltimore
for 20 years, and in many other
cities for years, there have been con-
tract clauses recognizing ITU laws
and specifying the laws shall not be
submitted to arbitration.
There is only a small nucleus of
cases." Mr.. Randolph said, "in which
this issue of the laws has been
raised. These are cases in which
we were trying to get the So-called
fringe benefits (paid vacations. hol-
iday pay, pension fund and the like
and the publishers saw an oppor-
tunity to try and get rid Of the ITU
laws"
