Union Demands Taylor Ouster WASHINGTON, July IB (UP) The ouster of Dr. George W. Taylor as chairman of the war labor board was demanded today by the Washington local of the AFL's international Typo graphical union. In a petition to President Tru man, the local charged Taylor's expressions in cases between the union and newspapers "arc not impartial but biased in favor of publishers." The petition was adopted al a special meeting yesterday. It was called after the WLB had imposed a series of sanctions against the international union for its refusal to call off strikes at newspapers in Jersey City and Bayonne, N. J., Birmingham, Ala., and Fort Wayne, Ind. The board found after a pub lic hearing the ITU policy of in sisting that publishers incorpor ate 1945 union laws in contracts was destructive to the national interest. It said it would hence forth decide ITU disputes in the same manner as other unresolved labor controversies.

Battle Wagons Steam Up to Japs Without Trouble Pour Shells Into Steel Plants For 62 Minutes Bv ERNEST HOBEHECHT ABOARD BATTLESHIP IOWA OFF MURORAN, July 15 (Cor. iret) (UP) The mighty battle wagons of this task force have hi ;f sent .'1,000 'tons of shells crashing into the steel port of Muroran without a return snot, and the city is burning fircoly. The Iowa ran up its battle flag in full sight of the enemy and fired the first salvo at 9:37 a.m. Now, 62 minutes later, the cease fire signal has been hoisted and our warships are drawing off after throwing more than 800 rounds of 16-inch shells into the port. No Return It is incredible we could ven ture this close to the enemy homeland without a fight. There is land to port, land dead ahead and land to starboard. Thole must be shore batteries but they aren t firing. Not event an enemy pistol has been levelled at our warships, which include the battleships Wisconsin and Missouri as well as the Iowa. ' The main targets were the big iron and steel works at Muroran. To get into firing position, we had to .swam 125 miles into erl:my writers' bl'weent Hok kaidi and Honshu, but we made it unchallenged. Our gunners fired with deadly, accuracy. How accurate can best be described in the words of aerial spotters over the target. .Repeatedly they ailed back: "Nq 'change,,, no change. ; Huge Blast Our ten-ton broadsides touched off a terrific explosion in the Nison steel works. The Wani shi iron works and the Mitsubi shi coal factory , were wrecked, when w? . first peered out through the- murky morning we could sec numerous, buildings and towering smokestacks. Now there is only smoke, fire and de. vaslation in Muroran, once a city of 107,000. " .''''. The bombardmet was so dow- nful even the Iowa shuddered when the guns of the other bat tleships went off.: j C Coupons Will Be Discontinued Oct. 1 WASHINGTON, July 16 (UP) R. A. Youngblood, gasoline ra tioning chief for the office .of firmed reports the use' of C gasp price administration, today con line coupons will be discontinued around Oct. 1. . Ho told reporters the date "has not been finally decided," but it was expected to be the latter part of September or first of Oct ober, a new gasoline ration per iod begins Sept. 21. Youngblood said OPA decided to abolish C coupons because of the recent boost of B coupon values to 650 miles a month. As a result, he said, "the line of demarcation between the two is pretty thin." He said the action would case the work of local ra tion boards and reduce printing costs.

IW III lo 1 I -.Tit 4 By ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer . Many a woman has eluded the grasp of age by the adroit use of her legs. Smart gait, springy knee action, a brisk muscular pull from thighs to heel can give you the edge on a girl many years your junior . who drags around a pair of lagging gams. The impression o f vitality which gingery legs put across is as important as the measurement of calf and ankle a good thing to remember during a season when you bare your underpin nings in shorts or swim suits. What's more to the point, when you put ginger into legs you be gin a campaign of self-improve. mcnt that will eventually give you shapelier calves and ankles. Too much flesh on some legs,, too little on others can usually be blamed on a lazy lack of activity through the muscles.
