The Tokyo radio claimed without
confirmation that japanese suicide
planes in attacks Monday and Tues
day in Okinawa waters had sunk two
cruisers or destroyers and damaged
a third.
1t was pointed out by officials at

naval casualties were not included
in the Okinawa list, although the
japanese by conservative estimate
lost at least $500 dead in the Inland
Sea battle alone.

SAN FANCISCO, June 22.-As
the United Nations Conference
made plans for it's final session
to be addressed by President
Truman Tuesday, members OF
the United States delegation to-
day turned their attention to the
course which is to be followed
for Senate ratification of the
treaty of adherence to the new
world peace organization.
A suggestion from Washington
that the treaty be ratified by July
Is, or in time for the President to
inform his colleagues in the coming
Big Three meeting that the United
States has taken such step, is re-
garded as totally impossible"
In fact, it was argued here today
that no friend of the treaty should
demand that a matter of such i'm
portance should be disposed of by
the Senate in few days. Fear was
expressed that If an attempt were
made to jam the treaty through
without adequate hearings and dis.
cussion in the Senate, enemies o1
American adherence to the organi.
zation would make capital of it.
Two Senators Return Wednesday.
Chairman Connally of the Senate
Foreign Relations Committee, anc
Senator Vandenberg, Republican
of Michigan, a member of the com.
mittee, will lead the fight in the
Upper House for ratification.
They will leave here by plane fol
Washington two hours after con.
ference adjournment. Senator Con.
nally will carry with him the new
world organization charter, unless
President Truman himself takes II
back directly. 1t will be the Presi.
dents duty in any event to trans.
nit it formally to the Senate.

the charter here as members of the

Extension Of Only

Price Formula Beaten
BY ]. A. O'LEARY.

Administration lines held firm.
ly in the House this afternoon or
the first two Republican at.
temptS to curtail the power o1
OPA after June 30.
The first, to limit the extension
Of price control to six months in.
stead of year, was rejected, III
to 126.
An hour later, with fewer mem.
bers voting, the opposition came
closer, when a new price-fixine
formula was rejected, IA to 122.
The formula proposed by Repre-
sentative Crawford, Republican, OF
Michigan, would have required OPA
to base the price ceilings of each
commodity on the costs of repre-
sentative producer" in the affected
industry. Mr.. Crawford denied it
guaranteed a profit to the manu-
facturer Of producer, insisting it was
based on the average producer
rather than the high or low-cost
producer.
Patlnan Attacks Amendment,
Attacking the amendment, Repre-
sentative Patman, Democrat, of
Texas said it would take the lid off"
price fixing. Representative Mon
roney, Democrat, of Oklahoma called
1t "a superduper" draft of the Taft
amendment which was beaten in the
Senate.
The House also rejected on a voice
vote substitute for the Crawford
amendment offered by Representa-
tive Folger, Democrat, of North Car
olina seeking to establish unit sys-
tenn of pricing agricultural COM
modities. Mr.. Folger did not appeal
for a teller vote.
Meeting at the unusual hour of
10 am. in the hope of passing the
bill today, the House quickly shouted
down a motion by Representative
Holman, Republican, of Michigan,
10 strike out the enacting clause,
which would have killed the bill
Rayburn Opposes Limitation.
Speaker Rayburn took the floor
IN a final plea against the six
month limitation, calling it "a de-
Structive" amendment. He pointed
out that Congress would be in ses-
sion most of the year and "if the
thing does not run as we think il
should we will be here and can take
another stitch in the law"
A battle alSo is centering around
move by Representative Jenkins
Republican, of Ohio, to transfer food
pricing and rationing powers to the
new Secretary of Agriculture, Clin-
ton P. Anderson, Democratic Rep
resentatiVe from New Mexico, who
takes over as Secretary and War
Food Administrator July /.
Would Center Control.
The Jenkif, proposal would Gen.
ter all food control in the hands
of the new Agriculture Secretary
and war food administrator. This
grew out of suggestions by former
president Hoover. Mr.. Hoover, who
handled the food administration in
the last war, charged breakdown
In control over meats and fats, and
suggested they be placed under Agri-
r1culture. Mr.. Jenkins broadened
the recommendation.
Democratic leaders said it would
confuse the situation to take one
segment of rationing away from
OPA, as they prepared to fight the
amendment.

BY the Associated Press
A $38. ,285,951 War Depart
ment supply bill went to the
House floor today with an Army
promise to speed victory over
Japan by IAN overwhelming ap-
plication of force"
Its approval by the Appropria-
tions Committee accompanied publ
cation of three weeks of testimony
by high Army officials who foresav
devastation of Japan greater thar
that which battered the Nazis tx
their knees.
Testimony Of Gems. George c
Marshall, chief OF staff, and H. II
Arnold, head of the air forces, dis
closed plans to use 1000 B-29s dali
in the Pacific war and to drop 2,
700,0 900 tons Of bombs in the Fa
East in the fiscal year starting Jul,
l. That figure compares, Gen. Mar
shall said, with l SIS 900 tons rainet
on Europe from 1942 to 1945.
Testimony Left on Record.
In contrast to previous war years
the generals left much of theil
closed d-door testimony in the printed
record.
The funds voted by the commit.
tee represented a cut of $586, ,810, ,0OC
from budget estimates and a droI
of S9,692, ,492, ,313 from money made
available to the Army during the
current fiscal year. OF the total
s21 ,376. .283 400 represents new ap-
preparations, 1885 sol ,051 is made
available from previous appropria-
tions and $8,238, sol 500 represents
recoveries due to cancellations OF
reductions of obligations approved
for prior years.
The committee, cautioning that
"the battle of the Pacific is still ir
Its initial stages" with many mile
posts yet to be passed on the road
to Tokyo, cited this testimony from
Gen. Marshall:
1T would be a costly mistake. q
hideous injustice to our men in the
Pacific, to relax now in optimistic
estimates of the situation. The final
victory on the battlefields will be
ours, but 1t must not be delayed BY

The sub., 1945-08-02
By Boris ShiShkin AFL Economist

What are the employment pros- poets after the war? Here is an- other report in the nationwide
 survey conducted by the Ameri- can Federation of Labor on post war job opportunities.
 Textile and clothing industries provide one of the biggest sources of employment in the United States. They employ more than two million workers. Most of them belong to American Federation of Labor unions.
 Lloyd Klenert, secretary of the United Textile Workers of Amer ica, reports that full employment now prevails in the textile indus try.
 It will take from two to three years after the war to make up the deficit in textiles. This means full employment for at least that long. Better wages and decent incomes will help support the lasting growth of the textile industry af- ter the war. There is plenty of room for expansion.
 David Dubinsky, president of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union, reports that at present there is some unemploy- ment and extensive part-time work in that trade. This is due to short age in materials, especially cotton goods. The demand for women's
 apparel is far greater than the in- dustry can supply. As soon as textile fabrics are once more in good supply, everyone will again be busy. In fact, after the war, the civilian apparel industry is likely to provide more jobs than it does today. The union, which was instrumental in developing the fa- | nous program of cooperation with employers, is now working on it's number one postwar program: to make sure not only that the Amer ican woman is the best-dressed of all, but also that America becomes the postwar fashion center of the world.
 Joseph McCurdy, president of the United Garment Workers, reports full employment in the manufac- ture of work clothing, and mems clothing. Here, too, severe short ages of denim, duck and other fabrics have cut deeply into pro- duction. Especially serious is the resulting shortage of overalls and
