rotary of the Interior Harold Ickes'
assertion that unless the army
were to free sufficient coal miners
not only would industry be forced
to operate on four day week. but
domestic consumers also would re-
ceive reduced supplies. With hard
and soft coal production expected to
fall 100000 tons below needs,
Ickes has sought the release of some
10000 out of 1900 miners in the
services.
Though the army has consistent
ly refused to let coal miners go be-
cause of its opposition to occupa-
tional releases, the war department
announced that it planned to return
over 1000 ex-railroaders from Eu-
rope to help ease the transport labor
pinch created by the redeployment
program.
Meanwhile, civilian government
agencies came in for their share of
criticism over the tight manpower
situation on the west coast, where
virtually all war industries, but par
ticularly shipyards and railroads,
have been plagued by labor search
ties.
Assuring far western employees
that the section would share in re-
conversion, and permitting war
workers to sign up now for postwar
jobs, would help to stem the exodus
eastward in anticipation of better
opportunities, house committee
said. Further, civilian government
agencies should tighten regulations
over job jumpers not subject to Sc
lective service, the committee de-
clared.

POOR BRAKES:

One car In seven in the United
States and Canada has poor brakes.
This is the average shown by checks
on 1,749, 901 cars in the two countries
during the six weeks nationwide
brake emphasis program sponsored
by the International Association Of
Chiefs of Police.
OF the cars checked, the brakes
of 255. 989 or 14.6 per cent could not
meet one simple requirement:
they failed to take hold before the
pedal came within an inch of the
foorboard.
Final reports from the states and
provinces are complete for 80 states
and the District of Columbia and
for the Canadian provinces. Aver
ages are not likely be much at
fected by later information.
In the United States police checked
the brakes of 1,608,70 cars and 1884,
SAG, or 14.5 per cent, failed. Twenty
of the reporting states had failure
averages for the six-week period
higher than the national average.
In Canada al, 1928 cars were
checked; 21,443 failed to meet the
requirements. The average of fail
ures for the entire period was 1871
per cent.
Records Of IS states and the Dis
trict Of Columbia were better than
the national record in the United
States. British Columbia reported
the lowest failure record for the six
weeks in Canada with 8.S per cent
Two other provinces, Manitoba and
Ontario, had percentages better than
the national average but not as
good 90 British Colunbia's.

POSTWAR EUROPE:
Big Three's Design

Lug Il ILF &c , D0SLSH
Against a background of congress
sional opinion ranging from the dec
laration of Senator Ellender Dem.,
Lao that the agreements "hold
much promise for the eventual de-
mocratization of the whole Of Eu-
rope to the charge of Senator Taft
Germany's eastern boundary "sows
the seeds of future war;" the nation
pondered the decisions of the Big
Three at Potsdam.
Reached after lengthy sessions in
the Hohenzollern' old palace
grounds outside Berlin, the agree
ments called for the complete de-
INFLAMMATION of Germany; the de-
struction of its war making poten-
tial and supervision over domestic
industry; the transfer of German
populations from Poland, Czechoslo-
vakia and Hungary; disposition of
the German merchant marine, and
the extension of the western Polish
border up to the Oder-Neisse river
lines of eastern Germany.
At the same time, the Big
Three praised Germany's for
mer partner, Italy, for wiping
out Fascisn and re-esta blishing
democra tic government, en-
titling tie country to eventual
admission into the United Ma
tions. Disposition Of Italian
North African colonies is to be
left up to a five man council Of
the foreign ministers Of the u.
S., Britain, Russia, France and
China, who will also negotiate
peace treaties with Germany
and the other Axis satellites.
Other Big Three agreements in
Guided payment of material repara-
tons to repair war damage and the
transfer to Russia of rs per cent of
the industrial equipment in the
U. S. and British occupation zones
of Germany; immediate trial of war
criminals, and exclusion of Spain
from the United Nations because Of
its close Axis ties.
Prohibition Of the production of
arms, aircraft and ships; close SUI
pervision of the metal, chemical and
machinery businesses, and elimina-
ton of carte1s, syndicates and
trusts, will seriously restrict the
once-efficient German industrial es-
tablishment. In declaring that Ger
man industry would be geared to
supply the needs of an agricultural
and peaceful domestic economy. the
Big Three stated that the country's
living standards would be raised to
the average European level, exclu-
sive of Britain and Russia. Upon
the German peoples willingness to
cooperate with the Allies will de-
pend the restoration Of their indie
pendence, it was said.

FRANCE:
Star Witness

Nervous, haggard and still chain
smoker, swarthy Pierre Laval
promised to become the star wit
ness in the treason trial of Mar
shall Petain following his surrender
to American authorities in Austria
and prompt transfer to the French.
Petain's counsel moved to call
upon Laval following revelation of
secret friendly dealings with the
Allies by Gen. Maxine Weygand
and Adm. William Leahy, chief Of
staff to the late Mr.. Roosevelt and
President Truman.
Testifying in court, Weygand dis
closed that Vichy had agreed
to keep the Germans out Of North
Africa in return for the delivery Of
American goods, while Leahy wrote
letter to Petain dated June %,
1945, recalling that the marshal had
acted against Axis interests at his
request during his ambassadorship
to France from January l, 1871, to
April 10, 1912.
Called Petain's 'evil genius"
Laval was an open advocate Of
who1ehearted French collaboration
with Germany, while the marshal
has sought to prove that his OBJ
jective was to play off the Nazis
for the sake Of moderating Nazi de-
mands upon the country.

Japs Squirn1

Japs Squirns
Having turned a deaf ear to the
Allied ultimatum for unconditional
surrender, japan writhed under the
mounting pressure Of U. S. aerial
blows, with Nipponese propagandists
crying.
1--WE are enduring the impossible,
with grinding teeth and clenched
fist, when we see enemy planes pen
etrating our homeland and proudly
flying over our heads"
Increasing swarms of B-29s added
to the havoc already created by
earlier raids, carrier plane assaults
and naval bombardment of coastal
points. Whereas the soldier in the
field once bore the fury of Allied
attacks, Jap propagandists said,
the homeland now bears the brunt,
with enemy troops at the front ex-
horting: Hold that line, mother"
With more and more superforts
being hurled against the Japanese,
heavy bombardment of industrial
centers further reduced the war
making potential Of the Nipponese,
appreciably cutting down on the pro-
duction of munitions for the more
than 100000 enemy troops under
arms. In addition to smashing at
factories, Allied airmen have ham,
mered at both overwater and in
land transport, not only severing
communications with the Asiatic
mainland but between the home Is
lands themselves.
AS result of the attack against
communicat ions, aircraft factories
are experiencing difficulties receiv-
ing shipments of aluminium from
the southern section of the home
land, and coal deliveries from the
north have been seriously impaired.
Though the Japs spoke of under
ground factories for maintaining
production and Of the resolute will
Of the people to escape national an
initiation, neutral sources did not
rate their stock highly. Though the
Japs had spurned the Potsdam sur
render bid, the Vatican said, intensi-
fication of U. S. attacks must make
the Nipponese government appreci-
ate the hopelessness of the military
situation and improbability of stop
ping the Allies short of full victory
by inflicting heavy losses.
FARM BRIEFS
During the first six months of
1915, county agents and farm labor
placement officers filed 1,645,279
farm jobs, giving assistance to $780,
900 farmers. During the month Of
June alone 640,216 placements
were made as compared to 599,476
in June, 1914. Townspeople will be
asked in August, September and
October to help with local harvests
in many areas with such crops as
fruit, vegetables, potatoes, wheat,
rice, cotton, sugar beets, peanuts,
corn and tobacco.
The general level of nid-July
prices was IA points higher than a
year ago, the department of agri-
culture announced, with the high
est index price since July, 1920. The
parity index (prices paid, including
interest and taxes) at 173 for the
fifth consecutive month, was only
three points above July, 1914. This
index placed farm prices at 119 per
cent of parity, the same as in June,
but six points higher than in July
last year and FOG per cent above
the 1909-1914 average.

Compensation Case
By the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS Md

BY the Associated Press.
ANNAPOLIS, Md, Nov. 2e.-The
Maryland Court of Appeals heard
arguments yesterday on a case in
which the West Virginia Pulp &
Paper Co., sought to have reversed
an Allegheny County Circuit Court
order approving a compensation
claim by William Morton, Luke, Md.
Mr.. Morton suffered from expos
ure to chlorine gas in April, 1887, his
attorneys declared, and although he
continued light jobs for the COM
pany, he did not file claim for COM
pensation until June %, 1914.
The Workmen's Compensation Act
stipulates that the worker must ap-
ply for compensation within 'one
year after the beginning of the dis
ability unless it is shown that fraud
was practiced against him or facts
and circumstances prevented him
from doing So
Mr.. Morton's attorneys contended
he had met requirements of the act,
but the company claimed he had
failed to do so when he did not act
within the specified time.
The lower court after a jury trial,
ordered the State Industrial Com
mission to pass an order in favor Of
Mr.. Morton.
