definite information concerning
settlement of terminoted war
contracts, and to instruct them
in filling out settlement forms, a
Joint army-navy team of con
tract' termination experts will
conduct a training session in
Medford Friday July 13.
"Many war contractors in the
northwest are holding up settle
ment of terminated contracts be
cause they have submitted no
claims to the army and navy,"
stated Lt. Elton B. Jones, Thir
teenth naval district labor rela
tions officer, who heads the four
man team of contract termina
tion experts, "or becaus forms
have been filled out and -submitted
improperly."
In a Joint effort to meet the
situation, the contract settlement
team will conduct a four-hour
training course for contractors
in Medford. The session will be
held at the Chamber of Com
merce office.
Contractors and their repre
sentatives of both large and small
producing war plants are expec
ted to attend this meeting.
The scheduled four-hour train
ing session is being given free of
charge to contractors and their
representatives all over the
cauntry. In the half-day' school
ing the participants learn to fill
out settlement forms by actual
practice, being given detailed in
formation on typical contract
termination cases.
Other members of the contract
termination team are C. E. Mus
ser, industrial specialist with the
U. S. army ordnance department,
Portland; Andrew J. Brugger,
who is with the contract termin
ation branch of the U. S. army

Even lesser staff officers down

the same fate as general staff

CrSSSR, FRIDAY, JULY
Hdiise Downs Effort' to
Reduce Fund for OWI
(Continued from Page 1)
was beaten down decisively.
A standing vote of 140 to 58,
with Republicans furnishing most
oi ine opposition, upneia a senate-house
compromise giving
OWI S.'i5,000,000. The compro
mise still requires senate ap
proval, but that bodv earlier had
voted OWI 530,670,215.
OWI's appropriation was one
of 33 items in disagreement be
tween the senate and the house
in a $769,364 war agencies supply
bill that hadfeeen deadlocked
more than a month over funds
for the Fair Employment Prac
tice Committee. The FEPC fight
was settled yesterdav with both
branches voting it 5250.000, less
than half its budget estimate.
Still Incontroversv in the house
before the comnromise goes to
the senate for final aoproval is
a house-voted and senate-reiected
provision excluding agriculture
workers from iur'sdiction of the
War Labor board.
Enormous Waste Charged
Representative Taber of New
York, rankine Reoublican ap
propriations committee member,
led the fight to curtail OWI's
funds.
"The ODerationi of the Office
of War Information." Taber told
the house, "and the ridiculous
waste and the enormous amount
of funds that have been fooled
away . . . compels me to object
to and oppose the conference re
port." Many of OWI's 10,375 em
ployes, he said, "have nothing to
do" and "a great many have been
on the pavroll at large salaries
without any job or responsi
bility." The leaders thought they had
matters all set to push the bill
through yesterdav after the
house annroved S250.000 for the
FEPC. They rushed the measure
over to te senate to get approval
there for new language assuring
that FEPC need not use the funds
to liquidate its activities.
Senator Bilbo (D.. Miss.), who
two weeks ago filibustered for
three days against giving the
agency anv. funds, said he saw
no hope oi beatlngtt and hence
would make no new light,
Morse Upsets Plans
But Senator Morse (R:, Ore.)
upset the leaders' plans hv de
manding that action be delaved
until Monday. He contended that
FEPC could not do "the 1nb that
should be done" on SffiO.OOO. By
Monday, he said, expression of
sentiment from the people back
home mieht lead to a larger ap
apnropriation. Morse talked for an hour and
a half while the house sat bv on
jts side oT the canltol, waiting
for the bill to he returned. The
measure was then in a parlia
mentary situation where it had
to be returned from senate to
house to be sent formally to con
ference. When Morse ault, the senate,
with only a handful of members
present, apprpved the house
amendment on FEPC by a voice
vote. But house leaders decided
It was too late to do any more
about the bill that day.

Air raids and Japan's own air
power were the chief concern on
invasion-fearful Japan itself. A
government air spokesman called
for increased aircraft production
and destruction of U. S. bases
on Okinawa. Tokyo radio said

to escape American sky raiders.
