They are Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Nebraska, North Dakota, LQuth Dakota, Minnesota, Iowa, Qisconsin, Michigan, Illinois. Kansas, Montana and Missouri. , An interstate commerce com mission investigation of the rate bureaus was supplemented by the justice department's own inquiry, Biddle said. Oregon, Friday, May 21, 1943 in Burma Japanese rail lines on a 300-mile front between Mandalay and Myitkyina. "Certain columns penetrated more than 200 miles into Bur ma," the communique said. "Early in March they put out of action the railway link runn ing from Mandalay through Ka tha to Myitkyina. Demolition charges destroyed tracks and bridges in 75 places and render ed further operation of this vital line of communication impossi ble lor many months." Preston Grover, Associated Press correspondent in India, saw the first of the hardened jungle veterans at a British frontier post when they complet ed their return march from the far shores of the Irrawaddy riv er, correspondents were not permitted to go with the force and its operations were a secret to the outside world while the British army in western Burma was making a slow withdrawal west from Buthedaung and north from Rathedaung. Grover said that before Win gate's fighters came back they ate most of their mules and horses and had learned to live on tender bamboo shoots and banana and palm leaves. Some of the men ate snake meat and many used their mos quito head nets to catch fish. Lend-Lease Bill Sent to House Washington, May 21 (Pi A $6,273,629,000 lend-lease sup plemental appropriations meas ure, representing in part the coming sweat-and-self-deniel contribution of the home front, was sent to the house floor to day with the assurance that it would shorten materially the march of the United Nations "to complete victory." With that message to con gress, the house appropriations committee laid 'on the line a mass of testimony edited care fully to prevent military secrets from reaching the enemy to demonstrate how lend-lease and lend lease in reverse is operat ing to whip the enemy through food, machinery and weapon production. "Our boys are freely giving their lives in the battle for free dom in the mud, in the heat of the tropics and in numbing cold," lend-lease administrator Edward Stettinius told the com mittee. "I know that we behind the lines are prepared to supply all of our resources every ef fort, every material thing, and every dollar needed for victory." And the committee concluded, after hearing Stettinius, that lend-lease "is a potent weapon of warfare without which other United Nations could not effect ively fight and with the assist ance of which the war will be shortened and the loss- of life and human suffering will be di minished."

No Rationing Of Clothing Washinston, May 21 (U.R) .Ra tioning o clothing and textile products appeared today to have been avoided, at least for 1943, provided the public buys sens ibly. Passing of the immediate threat was disclosed following a meeting among retail cloth iers representatives, war pro duction chairman Donald M. Nelson and Arthur D. Whiteside, chief of WPB's office of civilian requirements. A blueprint was not worked out and hard-and-fast decisions were not made. But, an official said, a general plan of action was tacitly agreed upon which was described as having "brought a much better tone to the situa tion." The one inescapable fact, it was said, is that there will be fewer textile products for the remainder of the war. This, an official said, must be accepted by civilians. Once accepted by them, he said, they have one of two choices: 1. Buy sensibly and not as they did in the "good old days." 2. Struggle with the complex ities of more rigid controls.

Attacks on Islands to Solve Question of Axis Air Power By Virgil Pinkiey Allied Headquarters, North Africa, May 21 (U.R) The next few days or weeks of allied air attacks on the axis Mediterranean perimeter may supply the answer to the question of what has happened to the German air force. The nazi air arm has shown little sustained striking power, with the possible exception of on the Russian front, for several months. Allied air experts, speculating on this military puz zle today, offered several theor- Linfoof Asks About Hearings William J. Linfoot, secretary of the Oregon Cane Fruits Con trol Board, Inc., has sent a tel egram to Glen Knaub, office of price administration in Wash ington, D. C, asking for defi nite information as to whether hearings will be held in Wash ington on prices to growers of cane fruits to be paid by can ners for the 1943 crop at which a grower representative might be present and be heard. Last week the information reached here that such hearings would start Thursday of this week. However, a telegram from United States Senator Mc Nary said he knew of no such hearing although hearings had been scheduled on prices of canned and processed fruits and vegetables. The cane fruits control board recently held a meeting at which data was discussed to send on to Washington to cor rect certain misinformation said to have already gone there in regard to production costs for cane berries. Senator McNary said he would get such infor mation into the hands of the proper parties. Also the cane fruits board decided to send a representative to a hearing on the matter of prices paid by canners to growers. But the information from Senator Mc Nary that he could find no in dication of such hearing caused the latest telegram to be sent in an effort to ascertain definite status of the growers' prospects in Washington. Georgia Peach Crop Macon, Ga., May 21 iP) Georgia's 1943 peach crop is es timated at 16 per cent of a nor may yield by W. C. Bewley, genera manager of the. Georgia Peach Growers Exchange.

It was suggested Germany may be trying to cover too many fronts and thus is breaking up its air force into small pieces instead of concentrating it. Other guesses were that Ger many may be running short of trained flying and ground per sonnel, that the fuel supply may be running low, that airplane production has been declining, and that both morale and leadr ership may have been poor. For the first time in several days, the enemy sent into the air sizeable numbers of planes piloted by men willing to fight it out as allied planes attacked targets in Sicily and Sardinia Wednesday. It is too early to tell whether this is a flash in the pan or will become a per manent situation. But it is safe to say that Ger many and Italy will throw ev erything they can into the air in an effort to prevent the allies from softening up the Mediter ranean islands and the Italian mainland. The axis has no rea son to hold back anything now. If Germany withheld anything from the Tunisian campaign and Air Marshal Sir Arthur W. Tedder and others doubt this very much that no longer will be the case. Fo rum Contributions to this column must be confined to 300 words and signed by writer. To the Editor: I am inclined to offer a few remarks regard ing the Ruml pay-as-you-go in come tax plan which seems to be giving congress a headache. A plan evidently aimed at col lecting from wages and salaries which may be spent before the tax payment day arrives, and which as applied to business houses will cause all kinds of in conveniences, for the reason that In business it Is difficult to arrive at any conclusion in re gard to the net profits of the business until the cut off at the end of the year. It seems that congress is in favor of forgiving or in other words abating a part if not all 1942 and rebating all portions of such taxes paid, which puts the government in the position of a landlord who has been renting a property for cash payable at the end of the year and upon changing the con tract for another year to month ly payments, is asked to rebate the rent for the first year. He would be maintaining a proper ty for two years and getting one year's rent. The landlord woudn't listen to it. Why should the government rebate any in come taxes? They may know in Washington what they aim to do, but it seems that this is too late in the year to make any change. If they would make this year's taxes payable in full in the early part of next January, and then start collecting monthly or weekly as the case may be of the 1 944 taxes, it would look reasonable. Any forgiveness of 1942 taxes as anyone can see will deprive the government of a revenue which Is due from the taxpayers. In case of 100 per cent forgiveness, the govern ment will be paying expenses for two years on one year's tax collections. Figure it out and see if I am not right. After putting in over 50 years In the banking business, I can appreciate how rebating the 1942 taxes would be a god-send to the stockhold ers in the way of a fat extra dividend from excess profits, us ually taxed out of sight. E. F. WALDEN. Pay Increase Considered Sure Seattle, May 21 W) A 10 cent hourly pay increase for 60,000 cannery workers in Washington and Oregon, grant ed by the regional war labor board, is virtually certain of approval by the nation board, Dr. George B. Noble, regional board chairman, said last night. Dr. Noble said he had been informed by top officials of the national board that "this im portant case has the green light" because of the urgency of assur ing a record pack of fruits and vegetables this year. The decision covers 40,000 workers in Washington and nearly 20,000 In Oregon. Dr. Noble said the hourly wage scale for western Wash ington and the Portland area un der the decision would be: Men, 80 'A cents; women, 66 V4 ; piece workers, 71V4. For plants in the Walla Walla, Yakima, Wenatchee and Willam ette valley areas the scale would be: Men, 77 14 cents: women, 63 ; piece workers, 68 xk . The board chairman said the case would not have to go be fore the office of price admin istration and the director of ec onomic stabilization, James F. Byrnes, if canneries do not in sist on price increases. He said canners had joined with the CIO and AFL in asking for the wage increases. Word carried in the forego ing Seattle dispatch comes at a timely moment to Salem and Marion county where a survey has lust been launched in five cities of the county to ascertain how many women contemplate working in the processing plants the coming summer and how much time they can devote to it. It is believed that the news may accelerate and enhance the signup.
