WLB Plans
To Modify
Pay yContro|s

WASHINGTON. July 27 CUPl
War Labor Board public men,
bers have completed tentative
proposals to modify some wage
controls without disturbing the
Little Steel formula.
They have discussed the issues
with Sterilization Director VIII
liam H. Davis. who has requested
labor and industry members to
comment. Some Of them may be
put into effect about Sept. l. but
informed quarters said that there
probably would be no substantial
change in wage policy until after
Congress returns IN October.
The proposals include a return
TO collective bargaining on wage
rates which will not affect price
ceilings. automatic approval of
voluntary wage increases which
Will not affect price ceilings,
changes in the wage bracket sys-
TEN by which rates are stabilized
IN given areas and higher mini
mum wages than the present s.
cents an hour standard.
There IS no intention now Of
breaking the Little Steel For
mula, which limits general wage
increases 10 Is per cent above
the January, 1871, level, WLB
sources SAID. However, the pub
lie members are studying methods
which would enable the board TO
grant general wage increases for
some employees imsome industries

.LeMay Says

GUAM, July IS Saturday
GNS)-Maj. Gen. Curtis E. Le-
may, in dramatic unprecedented
move in modern aerial warfare,
warned civilians of IL japanese
cities this morning TO evacuate
their homes or perish in flames
within the next few days.
A flight of six Saipan-based
Superforts of the I'D Bombard-
ment Wing showered ultimatum
leaflets over eight Honshu towns
and one each in the other home
islands of Kyushu, Shikoku and
Hokkaido.
ALL To BE BURNED
Lemay said that four of these
target towns will be raided within
a few days, but he asserted that
every one OF them eventually will
be wiped out by B-29s.
1t was the first time in history
that the airforce had disclosed the
Identity of its objectives before
carrying out an attack.
The cities which were bom-
barded near midnight with the
leaflets were: Ichinomiya, Tsu,
Ujiyamada, Nagaoka, Nishino-
miya, Aomori, Ogaki and Kori-
ydma on the main island OF Hon
shu; Kurume on Kyushu, Uwajima
on Shikoku and Hokadate on
Hokkaido.
PROVOCATIVE TAUNT
Acknowledging it to be his own
idea, the stern-faced sky general,
who has often proclaimed his be-
lief that the Japanese under
stand bombs better than leaflets"
explained the pre-strike warning
as merely another effort to prove
10 the japanese the haplessness
Of their military situation.
We've reached the stage"
he said, "where we believe the
thinking Japanese knows he's
beaten and we want to bring
home even more to them that
we're able to destroy any tar
get we go after"
The possibility of encouraging
absenteeism in war plants was
seen as still another reason for
the move.

JAPAN:

Backed almost to the wall, Japan
increased efforts to shore up the

ed assaults on Tokyo, striking at

ing small parts for big industries.
Steps taken to combat the .. ;.
avalanche included:
/. Mobilization and special train

agrarian militia to defend the home
land.
2. Suppression of all paciist sentl-

8. Efforts to perfect the operations
of the Kamikaze tsuicide) air
corps.
4. Granting Of virtual military au-
thority to Japanese employers to utl-
lie the time of their labor as they
see fit without regard to working
hours, rest periods or other regula-
tons.

II she will not, it is largely a mat

At this point let me quote that
other student of international rela-
tons. who, it is true, does not raise
his sight to the point Of world feder-
alton but who has urged it on a
more limited basis.
l refer to Clarence STREET who has
long campaigned for a federal union
of the north Atlantic democracies.
He says that the only loss Of sover-
eighty involved is the subordination
Of the ruling bodies to the ruling
body of the union, that a citizen still
has the right of franchise and all
the rest of his rights.
Does the citizen of Richmond, Va.
who, after the secession of the south
ern states owed his allegiance to the
Confederacy, enjoy any less rights
today when the seat Of his federal
government is the capital Of all the
United States. Is the Scotsman in
Edinburgh deprived Of any privi-
leges which he held when he was a
subject Of chieftain. laird or Scottish
king? On the contrary.
