Russians 81 Miles ,
From Baltic in New

Armored Thrust Threaten:
Nozi Corridor From
Stettin to EIbing
BY the Associated Press.

LONDON. Feb. 26.-MarshaI
Constantin RokossovSky's I'd
White Russian Army. scoring a
deep new penetration in the
drive toward the Baltic. has
reached the area of Hammer
stein. 81 miles from the sea, a
German military spokesman said
today.
The armored thrust threatened to
cut in two a 225-mile- long coastal
corridor which the Germans hold
from below Stettin to Elbing, in East
Prussia. Hammerstein is ii miles
southeast of Neustettin.
At the western end of the corridor,
the Russians also forced the Ger
mans to retreat northward from
captured Arnswalde to a line along
the lima River. the Berlin spokes-
man said in broadcast
The lima runs through Starogard
and Reetz. 10 to 40 miles east of
Stettin. Neustettin, important COM
municationS center in Northeastern
Pomerania. is about 80 miles east
and slightly north of Stettin.
The reaching of the Hammerstein
area by the Russians would repre-
sent le-mile gain from Barkenfeld
whose capture the Russians an
nounced last night. The strong
hold of Preussich- -Friedland also
fell in the new Soviet drive, Moscow
said.
Berlin said more than $4,000 mer
were thrown into the new Soviet
assault, spearheads of which already

southeast of Chojnice, gained I

Compromise Bill
For Control Of Jobs
Measure Would Limit
VINO Powers; Debote
Under Way in Senate
BY J. A. O'LEARY.

"A compromise Job control plan,
placing two limitations on the
authority of the War Manpower
Commission to force workers out
OF 1onessential industry, was
proposed today by Senator Rev.
ercomb. Republican, of West Vir-
ginia as the Senate began debate
on the issue.
Indications were that the Senate
finally would approve an even mild
er measure than the one reported
out by the Military Affairs Commit
tee, which merely strengthens the
labor ceiling system of the War
Manpower Commission.
Senator Revercomb had revealed
previously that he and a group of
Senators were working on a COM
plete substitute for this bill, based
on the premise that ample manpow-
er is available and that distribution
is the problem.
Three Major Points.
High lights of the Revercomb plan
are:
l. In placing ceilings on the num-
ber OF workers in any establish
ment, the War Manpower Commits
sion could not cut the existing work.

2. If worker forced out of one
industry by a lowered ceiling was
not accepted by a more essential
plant, he could return to his old Job.
3. Any man 18 to IS who was not
engaged in gainful occupation after
passage of the act would be subject
to immediate call by his draft board
and, if turned down by the Army
would be referred to the War Man.

an essential industry.
Senator Revercomb said the first
provision is intended to eliminate
the possibility oi a store or other
small business being put out of busi-
ness by too low ceiling on its work.
ing force. The report of the Mill
tary Affairs Committee on the bill
now before the Senate stateo that
ceilings could be placed at zero.
May Offer Plan Today.
The second provision is designed
to prevent hardship to workers who
may not be acceptable to war plants
while the third is aimed at reaching
any individual who may not oe con-
tributing to the manpower pool IN
any capacity.
Senator Revercomb is still work
ing on his alternative plan, and
hopes to have it ready to introduce
in the Senate late today or tomor-
row.
Early Action Sought.

Committee eliminated the work

TIERS, Guam, Feb. 26.-Capture
of Two Jima's second airfield, in
the center of the strategic little
island, was imminent today as
three marine divisions drove
north with considerable air sup
port in an intensified push.
This stiffest fight of the Pacific
war went into its second week with
the Yanks grimly holding almost
half the island and making in
exorable progress northward.
The marines. already on the main
airf1eld in the southern part of Two,
captured the east-west runway of
the Central Two fighter field (Moto-
yama No. D late yesterday and
enveloped two-thirds of the north
south runway after a full day of
heavy fighting.
Close Air Support.
Their assault followed a prelimi-
nary bombardment by artillery and
warship batteries. Carrier planes
and Marianas-based Liberator heavy
bombers gave close support to the
ground forces.

island, is under construction, but
far from completion. The only air.
drome long enough to accommo-
date bombers, Motoyama No. /, was
overrun by the Yanks the day after
the invasion.
The fanatical japanese defenders
were using the most modern weap-
ons they have shown yet in the
Pacific. These included rockets
weighing more than 1000 pounds,
heavy mortars, heavy land mines,
pillboxes four feet thick, and an
extensive underground. system of
interlocking strongholds.
Most of the hillside caves are 80
to 40 feet deep.
The japanese troops, too, are
above average. Many of them are
6-footers, rare for Japanese.
