WAGE BOOSTS:

Inter governmental wrangling

board decisions boosting worker in

sterilization program pegging gen.
eral wage increases to is per cent
of January, 1941, levels.
In the cases involving $4,000
packing-house and $4,000 textile
workers, WLB grants were held up
until settlement of WLB's dispute
with office Of Economic Stabilizer
Director Vinson over necessity OF
OPA to determine whether any pay
boosts would require a markup in
distributors costs, thus affecting the
price control program.
In passing on the packing-house
workers case, WLB called upon the
companies to bear the cost of en-
ployees' clothing, tools and upkeep
of implements, and also directed
that the guaranteed work week
must be extended from 80 to Sc
hours. In the case of the textile
workers, the WLB increased the
minimum wage from SO to SIS cents
an hour and granted fiat 5 cents
an hour boost to preserve present
geographical and job differentials.

LABOR DRAFT:
Weaken BiIL

With compulsory work legislation
bitterly opposed by labor and in
dustry alike, a weakened labor draft
bin received careful senate consid-
Grafton after hasty house passage of
sterner measure.
With the senate discarding the
house measure under which local
draft boards could order registrants
from IS to As into essential war jobs
at the risk of induction or fine and
Imprisonment in case of refusal, it
took up substitute empowering the
War Manpower commission to limit
employment in establishments and
channel excess workers into war in
dustry.
Though milder in form than the
house measure, even the substitute
bill ran into strong opposition be-
cause of the stiff fines and inn
prisonment provided for violation of
the VINO rulings. In helping draw
up the bill for whole senate con-
sideration, Kentucky's Senator
Happy" Chandler said he favored
the incorporation of stiff punishment

Nurses Face Call
With recent recruitments falling
below needs, the house moved to
draft unmarried nurses from 20 to
"A years of age, with some MEM
bers seeking to provide sufficient
safeguards to maintain essential
hospital services at home.
Under the bills provisions, drafted
nurses would be commissioned Sec
ond ieutenants in the army and CIV
en- comparable rank in other serv-
ices, but they would be subject to
duty in whatever kind of nursing
most needed.
Of the nations 100000 registered
nurses, approximately 10000 are
now in the services. There was re-
cent need for an additional 10000
to help meet needs occasioned by
mounting casualty lists.

DAIRY OUTLOOK

Despite a probable slight increase
in total milk production, supplies of
dairy products available for civil
ians on per capita basis during
1945 probably will be less than in
1914 but about the same as in 1913
on a whole milk equivalent basis.
Per capita butter consumption is
likely to be at record low of about
10.5 pounds compared with 11.8
pounds in 1914 and a 16.7-pound pre-
war average. However, fluid milk
and cream consumption probably
will be at record level

EUROPE:
Air Help

Massing almost their entire
strength, Allied air chieftains threw
upwards of 1900 fighters and bomb
ers at Nazi targets on both the west
ern and eastern fronts in support
of ground troops hacking forward
against Stubborn opposition.
Disruption of enemy communi-
cations feeding their embattled
forces in the west and Italy was the
objective Of the 1000 planes the U.
S. and British sent out, with the
heavies cascading tons of explosives
on rail yards and the fighters swoop-
ing down out of the skies to shoot up
locomotives, freight cars and motor
vehicles.
Fortifications as well as communi-
cations were the targets Of some
1000 Russian planes in the east,
concentrated against the enemy in
East Prussia, where the Nazis put
up a stiff fight to hold open the
Baltic port Of Pillau above besieged
Koenigsberg.
In the ground fighting in the west,
the whole front was aflame as the
U. S. 9Th and part of the 3rd armies
drove for the Rhineland with its all
important industry, while the other
part of the Bird and the It'll armies
clamped a tightening wise ON the
Saar basin with its rich coal and
iron deposits.
As the Yanks slugged forward.
in stiff fighting, British and Cana
dian Tommies continued to make
slow, but steady, progress at the
far northern end of the Siegfried
line, enveloping the vital road hub
of Calcar, upon which German de-
lenses turned for preventing a sweep
to the rear Of their whole Rhine
land front.
In the east, German women, in
furs and plain clothes, were put to
work building barricades in Berlin
as Marshal Ivan Konev's First
Ukranian army drew up from the
south on a line with Marshal Greg
ory Zhukov's First White Russian
force for the grand assault on the
Nazi capital. Meanwhile, the Reds
continued to press their attacks
against German forces threatening
the TANKS of Konev's and Zhukov's
armies.

.LEND-LEASE:
Over IS Billion

With lend-1ease reaching an all
time high in the first half of 1914 due
to preparations for D-Day and the
great Soviet winter offensive, such
aid for the whole year reached al
most 151s billion dollars and grand
total of over IS billion dollars since
going into effect.
In recoilnting lend-lease aid, For
eign Economic Administrator Leo
Crowley pointed out that the U. S.
has shipped $4,000 motor vehicles
alone to Russia, and that on some
parts of the eastern front American
trucks are carrying more than one
half the supplies for Red troops. In
addition, Crowley said, Russia has
received $4,000 planes.
Compared with Russia, Britain
has received 10000 vehicles and
$500 planes, Crowley revealed, but
other shipments have made the Unit
ed Kingdom the largest recipient of
lend-lease, with 43 per cent of the
total. With the opening Of the new
supply road from India to China,
the U. S. expects to materially boost
deliveries to the latter, with plans
calling for shipment of $4,000 trucks.
Mentioning that it took only IA
per cent Of cigarette production, and
less than / per cent of the beef sup
ply, Crowley said that lend-lease was
not a determining factor in civilian
shortages.

Far to the south, U. S. army troops,
mopping up remnants of Japanese
opposition in Manila, encountered
equally fanatical resistance in bitter
close-quarter fighting, typified by
the wild action inside the Manila no.
tel, where Yanks shot it out up stair
ways, through corridors and in
rooms to clean the enemy from the
top floors.
Two Jima's airfields, from which
the Japs threatened the advance U.
S. base in the Marianas 800 miles
away, were the prize detectives Of
the marine assault, which carried
clear across the southern end of the
island in the early fighting. Holed
up in the rolling country, and wiped
out only after intensive fire, the Japs
exacted a heavy toll of the nvad-
ers, with losses far above those suf-
fered at Tarawa.
Inside Japan
From inside Japan came reports
of a lowering wartime living stand
ard of a country noted for frugal
accommodations in peace, and OF a
rigid civilian discipline.
With 20 per cent less food than
before the war, each Jap has been
restricted to monthly allotments Of
a half pound of sugar, four pounds
of vegetables and 20 pounds of rice.
Matches, medicine, gasoline, fuel
and clothing are rationed, and the
nations women are asked to cut
off their kimona sleeves and wear
overalls to ease the apparel pinch.
All men between IL and 60, and
unmarried women between IL and
40, must register for compulsory la
Dor, and employees must report
for work in war plants despite air
raids.

NEED FOR WASTE
PAPER IS STILL ACUTE

The need for waste paper is still
acute, Chairman Carl M. Yerring-
ton of the county salvage committee
said Wednesday when he visited
Laurel. The need is so acute that
everyone is again urged to save
every scrap and turn it in for the
war.
Yellowstone county people have
been responding well, Warrington
said, but he urged that hitherto I'M
touched caches in every home be
~ransacked. In that connection the
salvage chairman made the follow
ing statement:
eff you will make a search
through your home, from attic to
cellar, we will wager you will find
a lot of paper that has been put
away and forgotten. This vitality
needed waste paper should be turn
ed in for salvage to meet paper
requirements for u military and
essential civilian needs"
One of the best ways you can
help in the paper salvage drive is
by searching out the forgotten
paper right in your own home, IN
sending it to war. You will be sur
prised how much paper you will
find in your attic and cellar .
and in desk drawers and closets and
other favorite hide-outs for forgot
ten paper. Be tough with yourself
about those old magazines you have
been promising yourslf to read some
day; it's time to send them to war.
And don't forget-letters, envelopes
and circulars come on paper which
is excellent for salvage.
eff you have been salvaging some
waste paper, start nov to salvage
all waste paper. The shortage of
waste paper is more critical than
at any time since the war began.
Waste paper can be used to make
new paper. Paper a be used
again and again. Don't burn paper
throw it away. Save it and turn
it in. Waste paper isn't waste
paper unless we waste it. When we
save it and turn it in, u waste
paper helps to supply both fighting
front and home-front needs"
