USPF Advanced Hdqtrs' uam-Friday-Adm. Chester Nimitz announced today that vice.Admiral Mitcher's Pacific Fleet units are now attacking installations in the Tokyo area The announcement said a power full Pacific Fleet force was at tacking airdromes & other im- portant installations lin ana around Tokyo. Carrier planes led the attack. Announcement said "this operation has been long planned & the opportunity to accomplish it ful6lls deeply cherished desires of every officer & man in the Pacific feet"
 The most powerful battleship, aircraft & carrier force atioat poured more than 1900 Hellcats, Helldivers & Avenger planes at Tokyo while warships & Army planes shelled islands to the south.
 More Aattops than America ever before assembled in a single sea operation sent a continuous ! wave of raiders against Tokyo's air6elds & military defenses & tangled in sky battles with the enemy airforce. Carriers were protected by literally thousands of anti-aircraft guns mounted on bat tleships, cruisers & destroy CTS, & disgorging swarms of bombing, torpedolng & stratng raiders in the first such smash of the war at Japan's capital.
 This huge, audacious oper- ation posed a challenge to Nip pon's fleet & strongly suggested major developments. (There was no word from headquarters of the raids purpose but it could easily be intended to cover new amphibious landing operations within the inner defense ring oi

Miners Ready To Toke Vote
BY CHARLEs H. HERROLD


 Washington, Marck 26 - CUP) - The soft coal wage controversy en- tered it's most crucial phase today with mounting signs that the gov ernment will step in at any moment to prevent a strike.
 The present contract between the mine operators and John L. Lewis United Mine Workers expires Satur- day and there was virtually no hope that Q new one could be negotiated in the six days remaining. No con- tract, no work" has been the motto of the UNIV in the past.
 The miners readiness to follow that principle this time will be test ed day after tomorrow when they take a strike vote under supervision of the National Labor relations board. The government, however, has set up machinery to seize the mines to prevent a work stoppage.
 The government may step in even before the vote is taken. Howard T. Colvin, acting director of the U. s. conciliation service, conferred with both parties at their closing session last week and indicated that gov- ernment intervention might come after todays session.
 Colvin did not indicate what form intervention would take. But 1t could be seizure or certification of the dis pute to the War Labor Board.
 The discussions have been under way for about three weeks.
 Meanwhile, fuel administrator Harold L. Ickes reported 940,00O ton increase in soft coal production during the week ending March IT. He attributed it to better weather and an improved railroad car sup ply.
 Ickes said production for the week totaled approximately II 1925 900 tons compared with 10,885 ,000 for the week ending March 10.

''Most important of all," he con- tinued, ''an increase now would provide some basis for the in- creased purchasing power we must have after the war if we are going to consume enough here to keep 69 million people working"
 Albert s. Goss, Master of the Ma tional Grange, wanted to know how America .can compete for foreign markets if wages here, already above foreign pay scales, are raised higher MT. Meany pointed out that in normal times Americans consume more than % per cent of total national produc- tion and that the way to approach the foreign trade problem is not to reduce standards in America but to help other countries to raise their standards.
 MT. Coss also expressed fear of the infiationary effect of wage in- creases which, he assumed, would add to costs of production and be reflected in higher prices. MT. Meany pointed out that labor pro- ductivity per worker has gone up so high since the war that it is pos sible to pay higher wages without increasing the unit cost of pro- duction. He also emphasized that industrial corporations have made such huge war profits that they can afford to pay higher wages with out boosting prices.

 We earnestly believe that you have the same rights that all citi- zens have. We believe that city em- plOyees are as responsible group of people as are to be found in our community. The high stand ards of their service is evidence of that fact.
 We in organized labor are con- vinced that these standards of serv- ice will be even further increased when municipal employees are shown that they are free, like all citizens, to join any organization of their own choosing. We must put an end to having Grade B. citizens in New Haven. Other cities, notably Hartford, which has done this, have reaped ample rewards.

standard of the Little Steel fOrmu. la was straight-time hourly rates of pay. In order to avoid relaxing the formula, the public members adjusted the standard. That change in the measuring rod con. stituted deception and injustice of the worst kind.
 Unless that injustice is immedi- ately corrected, the status of Ameri- can workers will grow progressively more unbearable in the months to come. Unrest and dissatisfaction will mount. But the full disastrous con- sequences to our entire country will not be felt until the war ends. Then the effect of restricting the purchasing power of the great masses of wage earners will hit industry hard and hit the farmers just as severely. When industry and agriculture lose their present big customer-the Govern ment-and then have to depend upon customers with empty pockets, a dan. gerous depression is bound to result.
 ''That is why the American Fed eration of Labor now appeals di- rectly to industry and to agricul- ture to support labor's clearly jus tified case for realistic upward re- vision of the Little Steel formula. ''
 Asked how much wages would have to be increased to bring rates in line with Government estimates of living cost boosts, MT. Meaney said II per cent.
 Dr. Emerson P. Schmidt, repre- senting the U. s. Chamber of Com merce, inquired whether increased pay would not result in higher prices and encourage the black market. MT. Meany replied that increased pay now would enable millions of workers to secure for themselves and their families some of the vital necessities of life that are available and not on the black market and which workers cannot now purchase due to a short pay envelope"

Average Worker
 Has About $2.39

Washington, D. C.--Charges that the present ''frOzen and unin- telligent" wage policy of the Gov ernment "is plunging war produc- ton into unnecessary embarrass- ments and will inevitably destroy any chance of attaining full em- ployment when peace cOmes," were made by AFL Secretary-Treasurer George Meany on the AFL's America United" radio program over nationwide NEG network.
 MT. Meany appealed to the repre- sentatives of industry and agriculture who participated in the same program to support lahor's drive for realistic" revision of the Little Steel Formula because business and the farmers are bound to suffer unless the masses of American workers enjoy sufficient purchasing power to sustain full pro duction after the war.
 In his opening talk, MT. Meany said:
 First, how high are wartime wages? The National War Labor Board tried to find out It discovered that the average earnings of the IA million workers who had appealed for increases during a 20-month period amounted to less than 70 cents an hour. No American family can live decently on that kind of income at present prices.
 'sHOw then are these workers getting by? How do they live? The Acting Director of the U. s. Bu- reau of Labor Statistics supplied the answer last week before the Senate Committee on Banking and Currency. He testified that thou sands of workers, even those with no dependents, are going into the red each week and are forced to borrow to make ends meet. And his figures showed that the aver age surplus for all manufacturing workers after paying bare living expenses was the magnificent sum of $2.39 week.
 That's where wages are frozen now-frozen by the Stabilization Act, frozen by Executive Orders and frog en by the War Labor Boards Little Steel formula.
 Cautiously enough, the Little Steel formula was not meant to freeze wages. Oh, no. It was off, cially set up to keep wages in bal ance with rising living costs. It provided that since prices had gone up Is per cent from January, I94l, to May, l942, wage rates should go up Is per cent too.
 "Well, that was almost three years ago and prices have skyrocketed since but not wages. Hourly rates of pay are still at the level called for by May 1o42 living costs. More than year ago the American Federation of Labor petitioned the War Labor Board to recognize this fact and act accordingly. The board hemmed and hawed and stalled until three weeks ago when the public members made public a report that while the cost of living has gone up 30 per cent since the war, adjusted hourly rates of pay had gone up 30 per cent too.
