WASHINfiTON, April ;2i4
(AP) The War Ijibor board uh

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

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

tive payments prior to Septem

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

They exchanged mutual ex

fldence which has prevailed be

"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."

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

The air ministry news service
described the forays against the
axis transport as among the big
gest such attacks of the war.
(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.
