The vire-president and European manager of the United Press has surveyed the fighting fronts from his vantage point In Lon don on the eve of the anniver sary and presents the following: By Virnil Plnkley United Press War Correspondent London, Aug 31 U.R On the eve of the fifth anniversary of the beginning of the European war, one finds in London offi cial and semi-official quarters a growing number of converts to the belief that the war In this theater can bo ended within the next 35 days If the Allies get good weather and a fair share of the battle breaks. Even the most conservative mil GOT $5 PER HOUR For Britain and the United States, the first phase was a battle of production and Invent ive genius to build the weapons to beat Germany and catch up on volume production. Japan's attack on Pearl Harbor in De cember, 1941, turned America from a non-belligerent ally to a thundering, all-out enemy. America's thunder rolled on the land and on the sea but es pecially In the air.

The best approxi mation of the fighting strength of the Wehrmacht in the field today Is 2,000.000 compared with 8.000,000 in 1040 after the amaz ing German blitzkrieg victories. Two years of uninterrupted retreats have stripped the Ger mans of vast amounts of equip ment Including rail transport, gasoline and oil and industrial resources. They have plunged Nazis Into a state of gloom so deep that they are frankly ad mitting that the Reich is facing the gravest situation in its his-' tory. Allies-high opinion, on the other hand, Is reflected in state ments like that of Prime Minis- ter Churchill that the end of the conflict may come sooner than previously could have been expected and In that of Prime Minister Jan C.

(U.R) Witnesses told a legislative com mittee investigating marketing costs today that gangs of swamp ers at terminal markets enforce demands of $5 an hour for un loading fruit and vegetable trucks by conducting a reign of terror while police "look the other way." "Unloading fees were upped four times in the past year with out any authorization as far as I can determine from the state railroad commission, war labor board or any other regulative body" A. C. Ramsey, Los An geles transportation operator, told the food and fiber commit tee headed by Sen. George Hat field, Madera. "Swampers consist largely of combative types, and we prefer to pay their excessive charges rather than have our driver fight. A man doesn't look funny with his teeth out. A trucking company gets a bad reputation when it doesn't deliver, so in desperation we pay." Ramsey said swampers aver age six hours work a day and are organized into a union, local 630, a branch of the Internation al Teamsters Union (AFL). August Wltte, Reedley, Cal., grower, packer and shipper, said he now pays $8.25 for the un loading of a truck of peaches, more than twice the prewar cost. , Allen Remy, Sanger, Cal., who owns and drives a truck, said he frequently was unable to find swampers but that when he did the work himself he was forced to pay the unloading fees anyway. Sen. Hatfield asked Ramsey what happened if truckers x re fused to pay the fees. "He is Jumped on and beat up," the trucker replied. "There is always fighting going on." "Don't the police stop these fights?" Hatfield asked. "Very seldom. They are too busy to interfere or are at anoth er corner when the fight starts." Sardine Creek ' Rarrfln Creek.
