French Capture Town
I'm Battle 10 Clear
|Nazis Near Bordeaux
Py the Associated Press.

Ry the Associated PreSs.
PARIS, April 16-French forces
battling to reopen the port of Bor-
deaux to Atlantic shipping and wipe
out 10000 pocketed Nazi troops have
scored an initial victory with the
capture of Royan at the mouth of
the Gironde River.
French tanks and infantry
charged into the city of 10000 on
the rivers north bank in savage
fighting yesterday.
Big fleets of American bombers,
heavy American artillery and French
naval units pounded the German
positions before the land forces
opened the assault.
The action on the long forgotten
front" was described as the first in
a series intended to erase pockets of
enemy strength left behind in the
advance on Berlin.
Resistance Bitter.
Resistance was described as bitter
on Point de Grave, on the south side
of the mouth of the Gironde, with the
French suffering heavy casualties.
They were driving head-on against
a strong enemy line crossing mar
now tongue of land, and had little
room in which to maneuver.
Bordeaux, fourth largest city in
France, has been in Allied hands
since last October, but the Ger
mans pocketed along the Gironde
have prevented use Of the port for
shipping.
A fleet of $50 Flying Fortresses
blasted German ground installa-
tions along the Gironde for the
third straight day today.
The Fortresses, again flying with
out fighter cover, concentrated
their bombs in the Pointe de Grave
area on the south side of the
estuary where the Nazs had several
coastal guns guarding entrance to
the port.
Liquid Fire Dropped.
More than 1900 American heavy
bombers attacked the German
pockets of resistance around Bor-
deaux yesterday.
They dropped more than 100000
gallons of liquid fire on ground in
stallations in the form Of a new
fire bomb that resembles extra fuel
tanks carried by fighter planes.
Results at Bordeaux of the new
bomb, called "Hitler's Hotfoot, ~
were described as spectacular and
successful. A highly inf1amable
jellylike substance is placed inside
tanks fitted with detonators which
explode on impact. The contents
are splashed over an area of so
yards. The bombs are a deadly
weapon against enemy trenches,
machine gun nests, field gun posi-
tions and pillboxes.

Move 10 Increase
Food Prices Gains
Favor Among Probers
BY the Associated Press.

| BY the Associated Press.
Increasing sentiment developed
among Senate food investigators
| today for higher consumer prices
as a means of getting more meat
and combating black markets.
AS the committee resumed hear
ings, with State agriculture COM
missioners as witnesses, several
members talked of boost in OPA
retail ceilings as possibly desirable
Senator Wheeler, Democrat, of
Montana. who termed some revi-
sion of the price structure neces-
sary "all down the line" said, Il
assume some increase in retail prices
would be necessary"
He expressed belief to a reporter
that a slight increase in OPA re-
tail prices could be made with the
total bill to consumers actually de-
creasing. This could result, he said,
because much of the available meat
now is being sold at inflated prices
through the black market.
"Question of Prices"
Similarly, Senator Bushfield, Dem
ocrat, of South Dakota said he
thought the black market comes
down pretty much to a question of
prices"
The black market could be wiped
out in "a hours if fair prices were
received all down the line to the
producer" Senator Bushfield COM
mented.
Senator Wherry, Republican OF
Nebraska, said he believed the whole
meat difficulty could be Strengthened
out by an increase of about IL
cents pound in retail prices. Sem
ator Wherry is one of those who
contend the present "bottleneck' is
in the situation of feeders-those
who buy thin cattle and feed them
to heavier weights before marketing.
He says they are squeezed" between
prices of live cattle on the range
and the price packers can pay.
Feeder Subsidy Urged.
The American Meat Institute took
a similar position in a report COM
piled in Chicago at OPA's request.
Asserting that shortages appear
slightly worse than a month ago
with no immediate relief in sight,
the institute added:
prevailing ceiling relationships
continue to discourage more ade-
quate beef production. If
cattle feeders were provided a real
incentive for expanding operations,
they could substantially increase the
Nations meat supply when this is
most urgently needed"
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
Colorado, agreeing with Senator
Wherry as to where the trouble lies,
urged subsidy for feeders, terming
them the weak link" in the meat
producing chain.
Leaves for Chicago Probe.
Senator johnson said he regarded
subsidies as obnoxious" but that
they would "hold the line" against
imitation. Contending that labor,s
'no-strike" pledge was given on
the assumption prices would be
stabilized, he said an increase In
retail meat prices might be regarded

 This commendation is the high est possible award that the War De- partment can bestow on any civilian and only once previously, has a similar Citation been given to any one in the Alaska Aleutian Theatre.
 Given for services performed in connection with the construction of the Portage and Bear Valley tun- nels, the Citation states that Kuk- kola accomplished this under ex- tremely hazardous conditions" and that "his outstanding achievements in the successful completion of the Whittier cutoff and the consequent improvement in the supply of es- sential war materials have contrib uted immeasurably to the nations war effort"

TEXAS UNION

 LAW INVALID
Supreme Court Rules in Organizer by , 10 4
 Ruling

WASHINGTON, Jan. 8. - Texas legislation requiring paid labor union organizers to register with the Sec retary of State before soliciting members, has been declared uncon- stitutional by the Supreme Court.
 Justice Rutledge delivered the courts five to four opinion, and Jus tive Roberts wrote the dissenting opinion in which Chief Justice Stone and Justices Reed and Frankfurter agreed.
 RIJ. Thomas, Detroit, CIO Vice President, and President of the United Auto Workers, challenged the validity of the statute and ap- pealed after being adjudged in con tempt of court for violating the Texas courts order which enjoineo him from soliciting union members without registering with the Secre- tary of State and obtaining an or ganizer'S card.
 The state court sentenced him to three days imprisonment and fined him S100.
 The Supreme Court said that the state has the power to regulate labor unions, but that it must not tres pass upon the domains set apart by free speech and free assembly. That there is a restriction upon Thomas right to speak and upon the right of the workers to hear what he had to say, there can be no doubt"
