, organizations and 20 individuals
conspired in violation of the
anti-trust laws to prevent inde
pendent rate making by motor
carriers through "intimidation,
boycott and other coercive prac
tices," and thus deprived the
shipping public of low cost
freight transportation by truck
in 14 states.
They are Colorado, Wyoming,

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." Griffith Re-Elected

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

-i! ; ,
ies concerning the apparent de
cline of the luftwaffe.
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.

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.
