515? ROSEBUR NEWS-REVlEW. ROSEBURG, OREGON. WEDNESDAY, APRIL 21, 1943. Wage Boost For Workers In Pine Industry Approved WASHINfiTON, April ;2i4 (AP) The War Ijibor board uh nouncod today that Stabilization Director James F. Byrnes has approved a waoo Increase for 2u,- 880 employes of 8ii pine industry concerns In the northwestern United Slates. In general, the Increase Is 74 cents an hour. The WLB's West Coast Lumber commission originally approved the increase, with the labor members dissenting and arguing for a larger amount. The War Labor board approved the com mission's decision early in March bv a 5 to 4 vole. Wayne L. Morse, a public member, and three labor members wero In the minority. . Morse held In a dissenting opin ion, made public lust Sunday, that n further Increase of at least 21 cents should have been allowed. One of the reasons lie gave was that the majority of the lumber commission had inform ally offered to approve the addi tional sum In the Interest of ob taining a unanimous decision, but irte labor members of the corn mission demurred. The WI.B ' acted prior to the presidents" hold-thc-llne execu tive order of April 8, but the de cision was referred to Director Byrnes because of its possible af fect on price ceilings. Byrnes' ap proval, it was understood, docs not necessarily 'authorize un In crease in price tellings. The wage Increases are retro .active to dates established In' contracts between the companies ami unions except that retroac tive payments prior to Septem ber 1, 1912, are to be figured at 2 J cents an hour.

' But he Implied clearly that the contribution of Mexico with her relatively small army, would be made chiefly "at home." Both he and Mr. Roosevelt took note of the way Mexico has been turning out materials on which American war plants feed and sending her men across the bor der to work on farms. They exchanged mutual ex nresslons of pride and esteem, and Mr. Roosevelt commented on the harmony and mutual con- A BEAUTIFUL ROOM Costs Only $2 98 When You Use' KEMTGNE The Miracle Wall Finish BUY IT WHERE "YOU OWN THE PROFITS" DOUGLAS COUNTY Farm Bureau Co-Operative Exchange ROSEBURG, OREGON fldence which has prevailed be tween our armies and navies." "Brotherhood in arms has been established," he said, Mexicans and Americans, he said, have common aspirations In the shap ing of a common victory and can work together for it common objective. "Let us never lose our hold upon that truth," he said "It contains within it the secret of future happiness and prosperi ty for all of us on both sides of our unfortified border. "Let us make sure that when our victory is won, when the for ces of evil surrender and that surrender shall be unconditional then we, with the same spirit and with the same united cour age, will face the task of the building of a better world." Argentina Prodded After remarking that the wis dom of measures adopted by the American republics had been demonstrated, the president di rected a pointed sentence ut Ar gentina, the only Latin American nation still maintaining diploma tic tics with Germany and Italy. These measures have succeed ed, he said, "because they have been placed in effect, not only by Mexico and the United States but by all except one of the other American republics." Camacho said that the United States and Mexico were in a posi tion of "undeniable ' possibilities and obligations" to contribute to the work of the post-war period, because geography had made of them a "natural bridge of con ciliation between the Latin and the Saxon cultures of the con tinent." ('If there is any place where the thesis of the good neighbor hood must be proved with effi cacy" he added "it is right here In the juxtaposition of these lands: "Our countries do not wish for a mere strategic truce obtained simply so that the world may again tomorrow fall Into the same old fuults of ambition, of Imperialism, of iniquity and of sordid privilege. We desire a liv ing together free of the perpetual threats which derive from those who seek supremacy. Free from the supremacy in the domestic field which, as we were able to note during the period in which this war was prepared, led cer tain elements to place their class interest above the interest of the whole group. And free from the supremacy in the foreign field, the constant results of which are violence, death and the ruin of culture."

Tank-busting Hurricanes, known as "can openers" and armed with two 10 mm. guns firing two and one-half pound shells, have been playing havoc with Rommel's armored forces.

Nazi Defense Desperate A n authoritative spokesmen said the eighth army's assault was meeting with "extremely vigorous" opposition. The fact that the Germans launched four counter attacks "with great promptness" was taken as an Indication that Rom mel was defending each foot of ground to the maximum of his ability. The capture of Enfidavillc it self was not believed to be of great strategic Importance, but the taking of the heights around the town and the digging out of German machine-gun nests one by one was vital to further ad vances. Montgomery's shock troops were infiltrating up the sides of hills, and crawling from wadl to wadi in a slow, costly and daring advance, but never halting. The Herman air force is now operating almost all Its bombers Klrilv. leaving the Tunisian fields to fighters, and if the Tunis ian fields could bo maac useless Rommel would be left without fighter support.

The air fields of Sidl Ahmed near.BI ei1e, LaMarsa, northeast of Tunis, LaSebala, north of Tunis, Cretcville and Soliman, south east of Tunis, and satellite land ing strips were hit In the great day and night assault, with fires and explosions noted and hits re corded on gun positions, slit trenches, runways and dispersal areas. , .

(The German communique broadcast by the Berlin radio also recorded by the Associated Press said that Tilsit, an important rail center in East Prussia, was bomb ed last night with damage to buildings and casualties among the population. ' (This was in apparent refer ence to activities of the Russian air force which included Tilsit in a bombing tour last Friday night during which It raided Koenlgsberg and Danzig again. (The German communique la beled the RAF raids on Rostock and Stettin as "terror attacks" and said that bombs hit residen tial quarters and hospitals the customary German assertion. The Germans said their night fighters and anti-aircrat artillery shot down 30 of the attackers and another was brought down at the channel coast, it was asserted. (Another German broadcast claimed that 22 British planes were shot down over Denmark apparently 22 of the 31 claimed for the night.) Great Fires Set. Heavy explosions from the French channel coast, heard in the Dover-Folkestone area after dawn today, Indicated that the al lied attacks were continuing by daylight. All in all, the RAF gave Adolf Hitler a party on the night of his 54th birthday that he can well remember. Germany used Stettin as a transfer point for much of the supplies going to northern Rus sia and it is a big manufacturing center and rail terminus in its own right. It serves as a harbor for Berlin by way of a 100-mile canal which links the two cities, and small ships and submarines are among its products. The air ministry news service said that the bombs dropped by the Stettin force, which by far was the largest group of last night's raiders, plumped amid fires which "really were angry" 20 minutes after the raid start ed. In the blow at Berlin one mos quito pilot said there was a "terrific flash" in the Wllmers dorf district. The last pilot to leave the city said several fires were burning, one particularly largo.

In Tokyo, Yokahama, Nagoya, Kobe and Osaka the cities that constitute the industrial heart of Japan the bombs dropped with unerring accuracy. They ljlew up a gasoline plant, starting a fire that could be' seen for 50 miles; blasted an aircraft factory and a shipyard where a cruiser was building, hit steel and powder plants, machinery works and railroad yards. Direct hits were made on a new cruiser or battle ship under construction. , By specific order of Doolittle the emperor's palace went un scatched. He did not consider it a military objective. The Japanese belatedly put up about 30 pursuit planes in all un limbered their anti-aircraft guns, and let out their barrage bal-' loons. The anti aircraft gunners shot down one of their own bal loons, and American gunners knocked down several enemy planes. Storm Lashes Raiders Beyond Japan the elements did what the enemy had been unable to do. Bucking a storm, the big motors of the B-25's drank up their last gallons of gasoline.'

Two plane loads went down in enemy-occupied territory and of those 10 men, two are unaccounted for and eight were captured or pre sumed captured. One man, Cor poral Leland D.
