Insurance

Continued state supervision of in
surance companies, but with strict
er control in harmony with federal
antitrust laws, was promised in
congressional approval of legislation
postponing antimonopoly prosecu-
ton against such businesses for
three years and allowing states that
length of time to set up tighter
regulations.
Brought to head by a recent
Supreme court decision declar-
ing insurance companies subject to
antitrust laws, the question Of fed
eral control over the business drew
little support from congress, with
legislators contending that the indi-
vidua1 states were best qualified to
regulate the matter for themselves
according to their particular re-
Quirements.

Labor Relations

Supplementing it's previous policy
of plant seizures to back up War
Labor board rulings designed to set
tie industrial disputes, the U. S.
drew new weapon to force COM
pliance through cancellation of
firms government contracts.
In following such a course of ac-
ton against the E. A. Laboratories
of Brooklyn, N. Y, Economic Sta
Utilization Director Vinson said that
the u. SIS procedure was legal, in
solar as the courts have frequently
held that no business has an auto
matte right to getting government
contract.
Despite the U. SIS power to inf1u-
ence compliance with WLB orders
through plant seizures and withhold
ing of priorities, in addition to con-
tract cancellations, OES Chieftain
Vinson said that still more effective
action could be obtained through
legislation furnishing non-compli-
ance.

AVIATOR BRINGS
 HOME CHAMP ACNE
It. Davenport Drops Bot tie in Parachute in Own
 Yard

A small parachute, dropped from a C-47 Army transport plane, landed in the yard of MT. and Mrs. Everett N. Davenport, Middlebury, Satur- day. The plane t''7ped its wings, circled the house and flew off. Mrs. Davenport, believing her son, First It, Ellie Davenport, to be still in Europe, was hopeful as she recog- nized the plane as the type which her son flew.
 The Davenports ran to the chute, finding a small container bearing their address in Middlebury. Inside the container they happily discov- cred a letter and a bottle of cham pagne, direct from Paris.
 The letter told how It. Davenport had flown in from Europe on his way to Bradley field and had de- toured long enough to drop a pres ent to his parents.
 It. Davenport, holder of seven bronze battle stars for seven major campaigns in Europe, received his wings at Blytheville, Ark, June 30 1943, after beginning service in Jan uary, 1942. It. Davenport has been active in carrier operations in north ern France, southern France, Nor. mandy, Rome-Arno and Germany
 Said Mrs. Davenport Saturday night, "The champagne is on ice ready for Ellie's homecoming cele. bration."

TWO KEY TOWNS
IN new ATTACKS

The all-Negro 92nd Division In
Italy, launched a strong offensive
on Italy's west coast this week.
The division advanced in the
face. Of heavy German mortar
and small arms fire to capture
the two important towns Of
Montignoso and Strinato.
THE ATTACK, which began on
Wednesday. just below the German
held town OF Mass and 20 miles
from the former Italian navy base
OF Las Spezia, gained up to 5000
yards in the first assault. BY the
first of this week, the attack had
reached the outskirts of Porta, two
miles below Massa.
Although the movements OF the
division were held under secrecy
for the first three days OF the at
tack, it was later confirmed by the
Army that the 92nd was bearing
the brunt OF the drive.
Heavy fighting, which at first
held up the rush OF the 92nd was
finally overcome, as the colored
yanks, drove TO the high ground
overlooking the village OF Porta.
