Southern China.
A battle for Liuchow apparently
was taking shape. The Chimes
said the enemy, which has occu-
pied the city for seven months, had
strongly fortified the area and con-
centrated a large number of troops
there.
The route by which the Chinese
reached Liuchow's northern SUI
burbs was not disclosed. 1t APP
peared likely, however, that the
Chinese moved around the city
from the south.
BY shattering the southern link
in the japanese land corridor ex'
tending from Korea through China
to French Indo-China, the Chinese
isolated japanese troops in Burma
Thailand, Indo-China and Malaga
The swelling Chinese offensive
further threatened the japanese
forces in the stronghold of Ishan
43 miles west of Liuchow.
Chinese units have taken Tatan;
on the Indo China highway 2
miles southwest of Liuchow, ane
appear now to be in position Il
cut the Kweiyang KWangsi rail
road west of LiuchoW. This rail
road is the main escape route fol
the Japanese at Ishan.
American officers said othel
Chinese forces moving agains
Ishan along the railroad were
within six to II miles of the towr
from the west.
It was disclosed that the occupa

LUCAS CONDEMNS
TAFT AMENDMENT
Illinois Senator Says
Profit-Assuring Would
Destroy OPA

WASHINGTON, June 8-The
Senate. in it's third day of debate
on price control extension, heard
argument today that proposed
profit assuring amendments would
destroy OPA.
Shaking his finger at his col
leagues, Senator Lucas D.-IlD told
them you can kiss price control
goodbye if you adopt either the
Taft or Thomas amendments.
Similarly, Sen. Ellender OLA
declared that if either amendment
is adopted you had just as well
repeal the law
| Their arguments were echoed at
OPA where Price Administrator
Chester Bowles told a news con-
ference that enactment of the pro-
posals advanced by Senators
Thomas Cd -Akla) and Taft Or
Ohio.) "would mean the end of eff
fective price control and would in.
evitably result in a general infla-
ton"
| Thomas proposes to prohibit any
price ceiling which does not allow
a professor of agricultural pro-
ducts a margin covering all costs
and a reasonable profit" Extend
ing much the same principle to all
manufacturers, Taft's would re.
quire that ceilings allow not less
than the same dollar margin over
costs" that was received in 1871
Administrator leaders asserted
that they had the votes to defeat
both proposals. but elected to post,
pone a showdown until next week
in the expectation that some alb.
sent members will return over the
weekend.
Both Thomas and Taft disputed
the interpretations placed on their
amendments by Senate opponents
and by Bowles.
Taft contended t'it is only fair
on the face of it" to allow profit
margins equal to 1871. Thomas
contended reasonable profit" or
processing of agricultural products
is necessary to get production. T:
the argument that OPA's present
pricing system is fair, Thomas re-
torted that OPA had changed IFS

H. S: Circuit Court Of appeals
.Upholds EDR In Ruling Ward Case

, CHICAGO, June 8 -W.p)- The
u. S. Circuit Court of appeals ruled
today that Montgomery Ward and
Co. is an essential industry and
that the late President Roosevelt
acted legally under the war powers
conferred upon him when he order
ed the Army to seize certain Of
the mail order firms properties.
By vote of to the judges
overruled the decision of Federal
District Judge Philip Sullivan who
had held last January that the seiz-
ure was illegal and that "the gov
eminent be given the relief it
sought"
considering the nature Of the
act (The War Labor Disputes Act) ;,
it's purposes and the background
therefore," the judges said. we
conclude that. we must and do
hold that the act applies to Wards.
1--WE would 60 further and say
! that the thousands of boys and
girls who gather waste paper are
engaged in production work within
the meaning of this statute. Also
| the thousands of bond statesmen and
women engaged in selling United
States War Bonds. 49,
ANY other conclusion would
ignore the entire congressional plan
for the conduct of this war, which
includes participation, sacrifices
and contributions by all citizens. :"
The judges said that in all its
applications for priority, Wards ere
lied upon the fact that it's goods
were to be used in vital war areas.
1T is hardly consistent for
Wards to deny it was engaged in
production after securing prioritias
on the bases of the fact that its
merchandise is to be shipped d.
rectly from hte producer to men
engaged in local defense plants
and a demand for merchandise in
various types of repair shops in a
community which is bital defense
area. ,"
Wards refusal to abide by the
directives of the War Labor Board
threatened to have a scatasthroph-
ic effect on the war effort, the
judges said.
"Possible interruption of product
ion by any group of seventy thous-
and employees is serious" they de-
clared. ut matters not whether this
group is actually engaged i'm max
ing articles needful in the war or
in distributing such articles among
those engaged in essential war in
dustry."
The majority opion was written
Otto Kerner. Judge William M.
Sparks filed a dissenting opion. II
was only four lines long and cited
no laws or decisions.
Attorneys for the company were
expected to appeal to the U. S.
Supreme Court. Sewell Avery,
chairman of Wards. board of Iii
rectors, has siad that Wards plans
to make the controversy test case
to determine the legality of the
president powers of seizure.
J. Albert Vol, U. S. district at
torney expressed satisfaction with
the decision.

Suggestions For Overseas Greetings
 PoFceIs Should Be
 Mailed Starting
 September IS

Postmaster Charles A. Babin made several recommendations today in regard to the shipment of oy0Rseas Christmas parcels and greeting cards to military personnel. Over seas parcels may be mailed begin- ming September IS through October IS.
 In instances where the recipients of such Christmas packages may return home before Christmas, Postmaster Babin suggested that the parcel be held until early October. If no definite word is received at the time, the Christmas parcel should be mailed. If the serviceman has an APO. address and makes a request for gifts, the package may be mailed after october IS.
 Packages to men serving with the fleet in Japanese waters should be mailed not later than Oct. 1st, Postmaster Babin said. Packages should also be mailed early to India, China, Japan, Burma and the South Pacific.
 He also emphasized that each member of the family may send Christmas box each week during the Christmas mailing month to an APO. address without a re- quest, while requests are not neces- sary to mail parcels to the Navy, Coast Guard or Marines.
 Packages to recent inductees should be held until a definite ad- dress is obtained the, postmaster stated. If the inductee is assigned overseas after Oct. IS and up to the latter part of November the package will be accepted upon the presentation of the official over- seas change of address dated after Oct. IS.
 Liquor and soft candies are not acceptable.
 Packages to men serving with armies of occupation or men serv- ing overseas with the Merchant Marine cannot be insured though this regulation does not apply to those serving with the Navy, Coast Guard or Marines.
 General regulations governing the size and weight of boxes remain the same as last year. It is, how be used. Packages must not weigh ever, suggested that stronger boxes over five pounds and must be IS inches long and 36 inches in length and girth.
 Though no specific time limits govern the mailing of Christmas cards to overseas post, it is sug- gested that all cards be in the mails by November IS.
