with total average employment only 679o greater.
Initial BIO combat needs were supplied by the

Chinese EncircIe Japs
After Smashing Drive
On American Base
BY the Associated Press.

CHUNGKING, May 11.-Chinese
troops, supported by United States
18th Air Force planes, have sur
rounded a large number of Japanese
troops 40 miles west of Paoching
after smashing an enemy drive on
the American airbaSe at Chihkiang.
a Chinese Army spokesman said to-
day.
In pincers movement Chinese
forces from the north and from the
south met on the main highway
leading to Chihkiang from Paoching,
main springboard of the japanese
offensive in Human.
Crushing of the major drive on the
airbase. possibly the turning point
IN the campaign to GUST the enemy
from the Chinese interior, led to en-
circlement of Japanese units at
Tungkow 70 miles east of Chihkiang,
and at Shannon, rs miles to the
east.
Chinese troops advanced 91a miles
after turning the enemy push at 4
am. Wednesday, the high command
announced.
An American Army communicate
late today described Paoching as a
"burned-out city" following attacks
made on it Wednesday by 100 United
States 14th Air Force bombers and
fighters. The American planes
dropped more than 100 tons of
bombs.
1000 Japs Killed
The Chinese spokesman said the
= japanese were throwing in reserves
In an attempt to halt the Chinese
CounteroffenSiVe. which resulted in
1000 enemy troops killed when the
. main assault on Chihkiang was
crushed.
The spokesman asserted that one
third of an estimated 10000 enemy
troops employed in the drive on the
airbase had been killed or wound
ed since April 8.
A previous estimate from Chihki-
lang was much lower.
A dispatch from Chihkiang, by
Associated Press Correspondent
Clyde FarnSWOrth stated that in
less than one month between 4,500
and 5000 japanese had been killed
as Chinese ground forces and Amer
lean air support combined to halt
the enemy offensive aimed at the
base
This slaughter was made pos
slble, he wrote, by vast improve
ment in air-grOund collaboration
the details of which are secret, plus
a new fighting spirit among Chinese
troops with whom the United States
Armys Chinese combat command is
working closely, supplying tactical
advice
Jap Air Power Beaten.
At the same time. Mr.. FarnSworth
added, japanese air power has be-
come almost noneXistent.
1T is a significant commentary
on the waning japanese air power
that Japan should have committed
between 10000 and 25 900 troops to
the task Of knocking out Chihkiang
without being able to allocate any
air support" he said.
Maj. Gen. Claire L. Chennault,
commander of the f4th Air Force.
said in an interview at Kunming
that aerial warfare coupled with
the action of determined and
Well-equipped Chinese Army" could

Tobin Ready To Lock Horns With Milk Industry

CINCINNATI, O.-(FP-Pres. Daniel J. Tobin of the Int. Bro. of Teamsters, attending the AFL exec utive council meeting here, said the union was ready to go out if neces- sary to enforce daily delivery of milk to homes after Nov. l.
 A federal regulation providing for every-other-day delivery, put into effect as war measure in l942, expires on that date. Dis. cussiOns here between Tobin and Paul Porter, spokesman for the dairy industry, revealed the indus. try's reluctance to resume daily de. liveries.
 Tobin charged the milk companies were attempting to cut out deliveries altogether. About 3S,000 union mem bers in the industry are being released from the armed forces, he said, and the present delivery system will not make it possible for milk firms to give employment to all who worked i'll the industry under the daily-de- livery system.

U.S.Ends Building TradesWage Control:
Wages Can Go Up By At Least 24%
Industry Would Still Make Profits Of $6,3OO OOO 900 After Taxes, Government Economists Revea-Or-
 ganized Labors Stand On Rates Fully Supported

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Labor's wage demands received consider able boost here last week, with the revelation by group of economists dealing directly with the White House that industry as whole could pay 24%o wage increase and still make stupendOus profits of SC, 6,3OO,OOO,OOO after taxes in l946.
 The figures were part of report prepared by the economists ill the Of flee of War Mobilization and Recon version for the OWMR's Advisory Board, which met last week to discuss Administration wage policies. The Board advises Reconversion Director John w. Snyder, and includes lead CTS of labor, industry, farm and civic groups appointed by the President.
 LEAKED TO PRESS
 While unions assert that a 3O%o basic pay increase is possible while industry can still make high prof. its, labor economists here were quick to assert that the White House report, which ''leaked'' to the press, substantially reinforced their own very detailed calculations on which wage negotiations in many industries are now proceed ing.
 Here are some of the conclusions of the White House economists:
 The take-home pay of the average industrial worker in lo46 will have lO@o less purchasing power, after he pays his taxes, than did his earnings in January of 1941. His weekly pay check will be down 289o within a few months from wartime levels.
 COSTS TO DECLINE
 Declines in costs, which can be ac- curately measured, will improve man agement's ability to pay wage raises though some other factors may impair this ability.
 Based on these measurable de, clines in costs, wage rate increases averaging 24% for all industry could be granted due to the ending of overtime, downgrading, and the ending of the excess profits tax.
 Unemployment will reach 5000, 900 by next spring, and national output will decline about 25 % from $2O6 billion to $165 billion or less.
 "The behavior of the stock market in recent months" according to OWMR economists, Suggests that the business and financial community expect profits after taxes to remain at or near wartime peak. The mar ket value of securities on the N. Y. Stock Exchange has risen by third since D day and by 109o between VI Day and Sept. 30, 1945."

Labor In Conn.
 Disappoiinted'ln In Truman Speech
Feinmark Says Industry's Profits Permit Wage Rise
 Without Price Rise

Disappointment that Presi' dent Truman was not more specific in his radio address on wages and hours Tuesday night was expressed by Secre. tary-Treasurer Harold V. Feinmark of the Connecticut Federation of Labor.
 Although praising the Presi- dent for his understanding of the situation in which labor now finds itself, with take-home pay greatly reduced, Feinmark said that organized labor desires to return to the process of real col lective bargaining, and is opposed to the return of the War Labor Board, or any other government agency, which will have the power to establish wage rates.
 In his statement, Feinmark also said:
 "We are disappointed that Pres ident Truman was not more speci- fic in his discussion of the wage and hour problems of American working people.
 However, the President has recog- nized two facts which bear out the contentious of organized labor. One is that working people and their families cannot maintain decent standard of living on the old 40-hour rate. Secondly, in most cases, industry can raise wage rates and make a reason able profit without increasing prices.
 GREAT PROFITS
 Since VI Day, we have insisted that the great profits made by man. agement during the war, aided by corporation-slanted tax laws, and labor's greatly increased productivity, make it possible for employers to pay wages which will maintain purchas- ing power and at the same time en- able workers to avoid sub-standard living conditions.
 eve congratulate President Truman for his insistence that a real Unemployment Compensation Law be passed, and on his support of the Full Employment Bill. It is high time that Congress stopped gassing, and passed these bills, which are basic to the reconversion program.
