Ward Fight Headed For High Court

Chicago, June 9-(UP)-The gov- ernment's standing labor fight with Sewell L. Avery, militant Montgomery Ward and Go. board chairman, appeared headed for the Supreme Court today.
 A U. s. Appeals Court ruled yes terday that seizure of the mail order firms properties was legal, revers- ing a decision by U. s. District Court Judge Philip L. Sullivan last Jan. 27 holding that the late President Roosevelt exceeded his authority in ordering the army to take over Ward properties in seven cities.
 At issue was the governments contention that Wards is engaged in war production.
 The circuit court of appeals rul- ing was concurred in by Judges Evan A. Evans and Otto Kerner. Judge William H. Sparks dissented.
 'Ihe decision means closed shop" Avery said when informed of the outcome of the governments appeal. He indicated that the com- pany did not intend to accept the ruling as final and added that he believed the opinion would not be accepted by the people.
 Following the presidential seizure order last Dec. 28, Avery said he intended to push a test case to de- termine the constitutionality of the presidents powers of seizure. An ultimate appeal to the Supreme Court appeared certain.

More Gas For B-Cord Users

Washington, June - U.P) - Only 3,0O0,0O0 out of 8,553,200 B. card holders will be eligible for for more gasoline Monday when ceilings rise to $50 miles monthly.
 A rations go up gallon week for everybody June p.
 The Office of Price Administra- tion said today that only B-holders whose essential occupational driv- ing needs exceed current "B' ceil- ings for their regions would be granted increases.
 Other B-holders, such as home to-work drivers" OPA said, should not apply for any increases since their applications will have to be rejected and only will add to the work of the local boards"
 OPA asked that applications be mailed rather than taken to boards. Increases vii be computed from the date on which the application is re- ceived on or after June Il.
 Persons whose B" coupons ex- pire within 30 days after applica- tion will be issued not only suffl- cient coupons to supplement those remaining in their present ration, OPA said, but also their next regu- lar three-month rations - to last for 90 days from the expiration of current rationS.
 Others will receive additional cou- pons for the remaining period cov- cred by present rationS.

Marines In
 Bonogusuku
By WILLIAM F. THREE

Guam, June 9.-(UP)-Radi Tokyo said today that American troops and tanks have made a new landing on southern Okinawa, pre- sumably behind the last Japanese defense line.
 The enemy broadcast said fresh American forces supported by 20 tanks pushed ashore on the south west coast below Oroku yesterday evening.
 American troops already have cleared most of Oruku peninsula and split the remaining enemy forces on the southern tip of the island into two shrinking pockets in bid for complete conquest of the island.
 There was no immediate clue as to whether the reported landing occurred north or south of 1toman, southwest coast anchor of the en- emys last-ditch defense line.
 If north of Okinawa. it put the Americans behind the Japanese in the smaller of the two pockets.
 If south, it put them not only in the rear of the larger pocket, but also in position to roll up the strong Itoman-Hanagusuku defense line from the south.
 Tokyo said the Americans and Japanese were fighting 1t out in

Patton, DooIittIe L. AnqeIes Bound

Los Angeles. June 9-(UP)-Gen. George S. Patton, Jr., and It. Gen. James H. Doolittle will be welcomed here today in Hollywood style.
 Four gigantic C-54 skymasters, es- corted by flock of P-40 Warhawks, bring the generals and 47 of their officers and men here in the final lap of a cross-country trip to their native state.
 A 17-gun salute from the three inch guns atop historic Ft. Moore will greet the returning generals, and Southern Californians by the thousands will stage the most tum- ultuous welcome in Los Angeles his tory.
 Los Angeles and the adjacent film city of Hollywood will have to go some to equal the welcome given the two triumphant generals last night in Denver-but they intend to try.

 Zhukov revealed, however, that Hitler was apparently in his chan cellory bunker up to two days be- fore the fall of the Reich capital and that records had been found showing that he married his mis- tress, Eva Braun, 48 hours before the capital fell.
 General Bezarin, military com- mandant of Berlin, said that sev- eral bodies had been found, one of which could have been that of Hit Ter but that nothing definite had been established He said that friends close to Hitler said he conn., mitted suicide but that Russian in- vestigators had not been able to verify their accounts.
 Possibly" Bezarin said, "he is in hiding somewhere in Europe, prob- ably in Spain."

JoPs Report Landings On Labuun Isle
By DON CASWELL

Manila, June CUP)-A Japanese broadcast said that Allied troops began landing operations on La buan Island in Brunei Bay on the northwest coast of Borneo at 12:30 p. m. today.
 The Toyko broadcast, heard by the Exchange Telegraph Agency in London, as the first report that landing actually was underway in Bruneibay. site of a big enemy Naval base.
 Earlier Toyko reported a landing attempt was obvious after the ap- proach of fleet said to include battleships, cruisers, destroyers, and 975 smaller warships. The Japanese said the assault forces were in division strength.
 There was no allied confirmation of the landings, but today's com munique from Gen. Douglas Mac Arthur's headquarters reported that Allied light Naval units had shelled the beaches of Borneo, a maneuver often preliminary to a landing.
 Macarthur communique also re- ported another heavy air raid on the island in which heavy, medium, and light planes dropped ITO tons, mostly on Japanese air bases.
 During the past week, the Far Eastern Air force has made re- peated attacks on Boroneo, and Tuesday the Japanese reported an invasion attempt at Sandakan, 225 miles northwest of Brunei. It was possible that show of strength de- signed to screen a landing in the Brunei area was made at Sandakan
 Brunei is about 250 miles north east of Tarakan, the island off the east coast of Borneo invaded last month by Australian and Dutch forces.
 In the Philippines, the 37th Divi- sion, with the Japanese headquar- ters at Bayombong firmly in its hands, today drove along the Gag ayan valley in northern Luzon to- ward the town of Solano, with a prewar popoulation of 17,0OO.
 Solano is only two and one-half miles northeast of Bayombong, and chances are it already had fallen to the 37th which was driving up the valley virtually unchecked.
 Bayombong, capital of Nueva Viz caya province, was captured almost intact. It was Japanese headquar- ters for the defense of the Cara ballo mountain approaches to the Cagayan valley With a prewar population of 12,0OO, it was the first large town taken by the Americans since their Balete breakthrough.
 The capture of Bayombong meant an advance of seven miles

Guam, June g. UP) - Five million or more Japan ese have been left homeless by American air raids on five of the enemy's largest cities, Radio Tokyo acknowledged today.
 The broadcast came as B-29s resumed their all-ex- plosive raids on the Japanese homeland, striking simul- taneously though in compar- atively small force at aircraft factories at Osaka, Kobe and Nagoya in daylight today.

Berlin, June 6.-CUP)-Marshal Gregory zhukov said today that he regards the fate of Adolf Hitler as a deep and still unsolved mystery.
 zhukov said that Soviet investi- gators have not yet discovered any corpse which can be positively iden- tified as Hitler's and tkel efore that the possibility still existed that Hit Ter may have escaped.
 we have not discovered any corpse which may be definitely identified as Hitler's," Zhukov told correspondents from Moscow on their initial visit to Berlin. Con- sequently we cannot make any statement about his death.
 ''He could have fled from Ger many up to the last minute. We also do not know what has hap pened to Hitler's aid, Martin Bor-

Should the enemy attempt to land on our homeland" he said, i've will crush him by concentrat- ing great armies in the necessary places and by easy and swift move ment of supplies"
 Suzuki said the United States and Britain were clamorlng for Japan's unconditional surrender, but insisted this would mean the complete destruction of Japanese policy and the Japanese race"
 No Other Alternative
 "In view of this fact" he said, there is no other alternative for the Japanese but to fight this war to the very last.'
 Suzuki said there was no one in the world who more earnestly de- sires world peace and the welfare of humanity more than Emperor hirohito."
 AS for himself, Suzuki said, he found it a matter of utmost re- gret" that the United States and Japan are at war. Japan was fight ing solely for the self-defense of our Empire and for the stabiliza- tion of East Asia against the inor- dinate ambitions of the United States and Britain" he said. The extraordinary session of the diet, convened so hurriedly that it was announced only yesterday. came as the American air bon1bard- ment of Japan was reaching new heights and as the Japanese on Okinawa neared final defeat.
 Emperaro Horohito. in an almost unprecedented move, personally opened the session, Tokyo broad casts said
 Navy Minister Mitsumas Yonai reluctantly admitted to the diet that the battle of Okinawa had gone against Japan, but said that the entire Navy had been turned into suicide corps to protect the home land.
 Frankly speaking" Yonai said, T must humbly admit the adverse war situation in the Okinawas. Not withstanding the brilliant activities of our special attack (suicide) corps, we have fallen 8 little somewhat short of securing full command of the air of the area and our ground forces are gradually being pressed back by the enemy"

Manila. June g. - (UP) - Gen. Joseph w. Stilwell had a close brush with death on Luzon re- gently when Japanese artillery plastered an observation post he had just left. it was disclosed today.
 Stilwell. touring the 33rd Division sector in the Caraballo mountains in northern Luzon with Maj. Gen. Percy w. Clarkson, had hiked to an advance position to watch the Americans capture chocolate drop hill.
 While an artillery spotter plane hovered overhead the Japanese gum ners held their fire to keep from revealing their position. Stilwell climbed on a tank to watch the American shelling.
 A few minutes after he left the tank, the spotter plane found itself in the American line of fire and dived out ofthe way. The Japanese, thinking the plane crippel, immedi- ately opened fire on the position Stilwen had just left.

Groton Boot Strike Seen

New Haven, Conn, June 9-(UP) Claiming thatthe work day of 5000 employees of the Electric Boat Co.,, Groton, started immediately they entered the company grounds, the Shipbuilders Marine Engineers union (AFL filed suit in federal court yesterday, demanding time and a half over period of four years for the time spent by work CTS in travelling from the yard gates to their departments.
 The suit, filed by union business agent Bernard J. Azhaya, also asked an unspecified amount of 'liquidat- ed damages" and return of money he claimed the workers were dock ed when they punched the time clock late. Counsel fees also were added to the damages sought.
 The union contended that many minutes were lost every day in travelling to and from the gates to the time-clocks, for which the work CTS should be paid, and that a congestion at the gates many times caused WOrKerS to punch Ill late. For this lateness, the suit claimed, the company docked the workers Is minutes which should have been included in their working time.
 The time-clocks reportedly were located from 100 to 200 yards from the gates, and were not moved nearer the entrances despite con- plaints of the union the past four years.
 Presumably as result of con- plaints to the management on the allegations contained in the suit, the workers were prepared to take a strike vote, it was reported at Gro- ton. Roland Bishop, secretary of the union, said union officials were try ing to discourage this step but there was a strong sentiment for nl1ittjnp uork MopSov

House Sponks OWL, FEPC
By RAYMOND LAIR

Washington, June 9.-(UP)-The administration looked to the senate today to bolster two of Ns A.afRbet- ical agencies-FEPC and OWL which have been spanked by the house.
 The FEPC is the temporary fair employment practices committee designed to prevent racial or re- ligious discrimination in war in- dustries.
 The OWI is the Price of War h. formation, whose job is to inform the people of this and other na- tions what the U. s. government is doing in its war effort.
 When the $752,000, ,002 war agen- cies appropriation bill emerged from the house last night after tumul- tuous seven-hour session, it carried no funds for FEPC during the 1946 fiscal year. It carried only $18,OOO,- 900 of the $35 500O,00O OW1 appro- priation recommended by the house appropriations committee.
 The house passed the bill by a vote of 251 to but not until after some hotly contested votes on amendments and near fight be- tween Reps. Vito Marcantonio, AL, N. Y., and Frank Chef, D., Ky, over the FEPC.
 Twice the house reversed itself once after it had tentatively ap- proved a proposal to abolish the Office of Economic Stabilization and again after the OWI had narrowly escaped the first attempt to halve its budget.
 While meeting as a committee of the whole" the house approved 87 to 69 an amendment offered by Rep. Richard B. Wiggleworth, R.. Mass, to eliminate the entire $196.. 900 items for OES. Wiggleswortt argued that the agency's function
