OTHER PLANTS OUT
Union leaders stated, however.
that a flow of parts from GM
plants to competitors would do
little TO help the strike-h -harassed
industry. Only the Ford Motor
Co. is unaffected.
They point TO the fact that the
plants which produce the glass
used in car windShieldS and win

the Borg-Warner plant at Muncie.

WILSON'S LETTER
Wilson's letter follows:
"My attention has been called
To the fact that the production
of other manufacturers who are
customers of General Motors
parts and accessory division will
be seriously affected by your
strike which has shut off the
How of material and the special
parts they require To build cars,

has always been our principle
To take care Of our customers
IL there was any possible way
To do il.
FOR CUSTOMERS ONLY
Therefore, We are willing 20
ship any materials which are

manufacturers. We are also
willing and offer TO operate all
Of our parts and accessory d.
vision during the period of the
strike exclusively on outslde

quired by manufacturers other
than the GM car, truck and

Upon acceptance by your
union OF this proposal, the man

Sions will call back TO work the
men required TO do this, with

By Howard Flieger

WASHINGTON, May 12-Some members said it seemed like sneaky way to get raise.
 Others argued the public has nc idea what an expensive thing it is to be a Congressman
 The upshot-a shouting House majority voted yesterday to give each member $2,500 a year. tax free as expense money to top off his $10,00O salary.
 The House wrote the expense al lowance and some employee pay in- creases into a $50,00O,000 appropria- tion to pay the costs of Congress The bill goes to the Senate where members can knock out the House increases or vote themselves some expense money, whichever seems the best idea to them.

Arn1y's Redeploynent Plan Starts Operating
DOUGLAS YOUTH BROWNS DURING
 SWIM ATTEMPT
Harry Worobel Overcome While Striving 10 Reath
 Cdnnery Dock

Harry Worobec, l0-year- son of MT. and Mrs. Harry Worobec, long, time Douglas residents, was reported to have met death by acci- dental drowning off the Douglas City dock this forenoon at ap- proximately 11;15 o'clock.
 The accident occurred while the youth and play companion were attempting to swim back from Mayflower Island to the cannery dock or to the Douglas Island shore. The other lad succeeded in reaching safety. but young Worobec was seen to go under by other children still on the small island in Douglas Harbor, who immediate ly sent out cries for help.
 Two fishermen, Joe Stevens and Ray Mccormick. working on their boats nearby, answered the cries and started a search of the spot where the youth was last sighted, but he did not again appear on the surface, according to reports. The U. s. Coast Guard was called to the scene and joined the search with two boats and two planes. Their efforts, however, had been without results up to l2:30 o'clock this afternoon.
 It is assumed that the group of children crossed over to the smaller island at low tide.
 The lads parents were in Juneau at the time of the accident. They were notified and, grief stricken, returned to witness and assist in the search.
 The drowned lad has a surviving sister, Maria, seven years old, and half-brother, Roger Connors, now serving with the U. s. Navy. His father recently returned to Douglas from defense work in the Aleutions.

 FIGHT NIp5
 ORGANIZING
No Combat Troops Serving in Europe, Africa 10
 Go to Japan
By Robert Eunson

PARIS, May 12.-The U. S. Army's vast redeployment plan to shift fighting men from Europe to the Pacific began operation today, following an announcement by Gen. Eisenhower that combat troops who served both in North Africa and Europe would not have to fight in the Japanese theatre.
 We must be sure" Gen. Eisen- hover wrote to Generals of his com mand, that no soldier is sent to the Pacific who has fought in both North Africa and Europe.
 T may be that some soldiers in this category will not have sufficient points to be eligible for discharge However, these men should be re- tained in the European theatre for occupation, as they should not be re- quired to fight another campaign"
 Uppermost factor in the operation of the redeployment plan, said It. Gen. Lucius D. Clay, Deputy Military Governor of the U. s. Group Control Council, was The problem of ap- plying overwhelming force to bring the war against Japan to a quick end"
 Troops which have amassed suffi- cient points based on service depen- dents and decorations, will be dis charged. When the scores are tabu- lated they will be sent to the War Department, which will determine what score will be low enough to permit the release of 2,000 ,000 men, while retaining the 6,968,00o neces- sarysto fight Japan and occupy Ger many
 Among the foremost factors invol- ved are the immediate training of troops now in Germany and France in Japanese tactics, and the matter of leave and accommodations for the troops awaiting reassignment or dis charge.

BATTLE ON 0kINAWA
 IS FIERCE
Close Quarter Combat, Fix ed Bdyonef Charging
 on BattIeIine
By Al DOpking Associated Press War Correspondenu

GUAM, May 12-Four attacking American divisions and bitterly re- sisting Japanese were locked in close-quarter combat today along the entire Okinawa Island front, where both sides frequently charged with fixed bayonets.
 Perhaps 50,000 to 100000 Japa- nese and Americans were involved in fighting over ridges and ravines along the four mile battle-line.
 Flame throwers, tanks and blaz- ing gasoline scared inter-locking cave defenses as the first Yank two-corps offensive hammered to within mile of the two major objectives-Shuri, a medieval-type fortress in the center, and Naha, sheltered west coast port and capi- tai of the southern Ryukyus.
 Tough Fighting
 You won't see spectacular ad- vances, because this isn't that kind of fighting" said It. Gen. Simon Bolivar Buckner, Jr., as his army opened it's greatest assault yester- day, while Japanese suicide planes attacked shipping off-shore. But you will see many Japs killed and you will see them gradually rolled back
 And that is the way it was, Associated Press Correspondent Vern Haugland reported from the front-bitter fighting all across the island.
 Naval, land and aerial artillery supported the attack by the First and Sixth Marine Divisions and the Army's Seventy-Seventh and Ninety-Sixth Infantry Divisions.
 Testifying to the toughness of the naval campaign, Admiral Ches- ter w. Nimitz announced the past weeks naval casualties were 1902. Total naval casualties for the Ryu- kyus campaign. March 18 through Wednesday, were 6,853-1,2 ,283 of- ficers and men killed 5498 wounded and 2,072 missing.
 Great Offensive
 After hurling back infiltration attacks during the night, Buckner loosed the greatest offensive of the 41-day-old campaign to crack the main Japanese defense of the vital island, 325 miles from Japan's homeland,
 Thirty-nine thousand, four hum dred and sixty-two Japanese have been counted in the Okinawa cam- paign = approaching double the figure of tough Two Jima. Along the west coast, the Sixth Marine Division, which audaciously bridged the Asa River, Thursday, advanced a, half-mile and is now within 1000 yards of Okinawa's capital city, Naha. The city which once sheltered 66O0O is shambles today from terrific daily naval and artillery bombardment.
 Three U. s. vessels were dam aged by suicide planes in an at tack linked with the ground as- sault. The enemy lost 40 planes, Nimitz announced.

PEAK PRODUCTION 0pA FORMULA TO
 CURB INITIATION

WASHINGTON. May l2-Record production at low prices and high wages is OPA's formula for smoth- ering the fires of inflation."
 Price A m n tor Chester Bowles told a news conference that a flood of consumer goods can best prevent runaway economy in the reconversion period.
 Hedging that prices of most com- modities returning to the civilian market will stand at 1942 levels, Bowles said OPA promptly will grant increases above those levels where proved necessary to compen- sate for higher wage or material costs.
 Besides preventing imitation and promoting full production and em- ployment, OPA's reconversion ob- jectives include eventual elimina- ton of price and rent ceilings as soon as imitation dangers end, Bowles said.
