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.

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.

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.
