Secy. Wallace Gives Hint of
Increase New Walkouts
Hit Nation
Chicago, Oct. 13--(U.R The
government was reported to
night leaning toward a pay
boost up to 20 per cent as an
antidote for the labor strife that
has thrown a monkey-wrench
into reconversion and made
more than 453.000 American
workets idle.
It was only a hinj. but Wash
ington observers believed the
administration would be ready
t to announce its support of the
pay boosts some time after the
national labor-management con
ference which opens Nov 5. The
hint came from Secretary of
Commerce Henry A. Wallace
. who S3 id the government should
; help labor to get 15 to 20 per
jf cent ot its 30-per-cent pay in
' crease demand
That the government fas giv
ing considerable thought to
this manner of halting the hun
dreds of strikes which have
flamed like a prairie fire since
V-J day failed to halt new
. walkouts, however.
The latest labor developments
included:
1. A back-to-work movement
among AFL longshoremen at
n York's harbor was threat
ened with curtailment by the
. national maritime union (CIO)
as the 13-day dock workers
strike continued to paralyze
shipping and interfere with
troop deployment.
2. The CIO denounced critics
of its demand for a 30 per cent
' pay rate boost to offset loss of
weekb wartime take-home pay.
i The weekly CIO news said cor
, porations were "deluging news
paper readers and radio listen
ers with propaganda to per
suade them that CIO's wage de
mands are unreasonable ana in
ilationary." 3. The soft coal labor dispute,
with almost 200 000 miners
idle in eastern fields, continued
deadlocked.
4. The national labor rela
tions board said it received 200
petitions for strike votes during
'he fivst 10 days of this month.
Last month a record number of
petitions 307 was filed. More
than 70 per cent ot the compan
ies named in Septembers peti
tions were in Chicago, Kansas
City, New York, Detroit and
Baltimore.
5. Deliveries of milk in New
York may be stopped unless an
?greerncnt can be reached in a
dispu'e involving milk compan-
ies and two unions.

WARSHIPS USE TO
SPEED SOLDIERS
Washington, Oct. 13 (U.R
Sen. William F. Knowland, R
Calif., today suggested that the
government inaugurate a regular
"warship shuttle service" to
bring U, S. troops overseas back
home.
Knowland said that, under his
proposal, the warships would
head back overseas again as soon
as they unloaded troops. He said
that every spare transport plane
and warship should be used to
return combat-weary veterans
from the European and Asiatic
theaters of operations.
The California senator, a form
er army major, made his sugges
tion as Great Britain announced
that her two great ocean liners
the Queen Elizabeth and the
Aquitania no longer could be
used to transport A m.e r I c a n
troops from Europe to America.
Sen. Homer Ferguson, R.,
Mich., said the loss of the two
liners "might upset the whole
point system" and he endorsed
Knowland's proposal to use war
ships in their place.

Washington, Oct. 13 (U.R)
The Japanese were unable to
sink a single U. S. merchant ves

war, it was disclosed tonignt.
The War Shipping administia

left to drown by the crews of
Japanese submarines that sank
their ships.
The review disclosed that 44

But, WSA said, more effective

V-E day and Japan's surrender."
"Many were attacked and dam

were many casualties in some
instances." WSA said.

Douglas MacArthur today moved
in on Japanese silk stocks while
the cabinet approved universal
suffrage and gave Japanese wom
en the opportunity to swing next
January's general elections after
centuries of unquestioning bond
age to their men.
In what may result in a flood
of silk for the legs of American
women, MacArthur ordered the
Japanese to report on both pre
sent and future silk stocks in
order to ascertain how much may
be exported to pay for the im
portation of food and other sup
plies for Japanese civilians fac
ing a disastrous winter.
The cabinet acted on election
reforms only 48 hours after Mac
Arthur ordered universal suf
frage and other basic constitu
tional reforms. The cabinet also
lowered the general voting jge
from 25 to 20, and the minimum
age for office holders from 30
to 20.
MacArthur ordered the gov
ernment to dissolve three or
ganizations controlling the silk
industry and to revoke previous
orders which would have re
duced the production of silk. It
appeared he was acting to pro
vide the Japanese with a means
of obtaining funds for essential
imports. The Allied Nations
have announced they were not
prepared to feed or clothe Ihe
Japanese.
Dissolved were the Japan Silk
Controlling Co., tho Japan Raw
Silk Manufacturing Co., and Ihe
mutually Prosperous Silk Reel
ing Co. It was estimated that
existing stocks of low quality
silks were worth some $18,500,
000 and production next year
would total between 13,000 000
and 18,500,000 pounds.
The electorai changes were
made by the cabinet in its sec
ond extraordinary meeting in as
many- days to discuss MacAr
thur's five-point "democratiza
tion" order of Thursday. It had
directed Premier Baron Kijuro
Shidehara to write a bill of
rights into tho Japanese corsti
tution providing universal suf
frage it did not ask for a lower

cratizing Japan's economic in

Fullback Bob Stevens, the only
varsity letter man Oregon State)
college could muster after a war

fore 20,000 fans.
Oregon State took an early
lead, was tied briefly in the third
period, then roared back for two
touchdowns in the last period
the last one by Stevens in the
last second of play.
Quarterback Jake Lcicht, the
sensational air forces star just
back on the Oregon campus,
scored the Webfoots' only touch
down and was a constant threat
with his breakaway runs and
long passes.
Stevens almost got a third
touchdown in the tumultous final
minutes but fumbled on the 3
yard line,
Oregon State made 15 first
downs to seven for Oregon and
piled up 229 yards from rushing
and 91 from passes to Oregon's
113 and 14.
Stevens scored first with only
1 1 seconds remaining in the first
period on a 15 yard end run.
McGuirc's kick was blocked. Aft
er a seesaw second period, Ore
gon began rolling in the third
behind Lcicht's tricky ball car-
Stevens' fumble gave Oregon
the ball on the OSC 41, from,
where Lcicht picked up 12, al
most passed to a touchdown on
the goal, then went for .17, to
the 12, and roared over from the
15 standing up. Bob Abbey's con
version was blocked.
H was only five minutei after
the final period opened that the
Beavers recovered fumble on
the Oregon 48 and scored, withi
Dick Gray passing 27 yards to
Dick Lorenz, and then Garth
Rouso passing to Gray 19 yards;
for a touchdown.
The Beavers soon pounded
near the goal again, but Steveni
fumbled and Oregon recovered
on the 3. Lcight almost connected
with a touchdown pass; but the
Staters took over on the 38, and
Stevens led a drive to the 9,
from where he bolted into the
clear and scored just inside the
corner flag a moment before the
game was to end. McGuire's con
version was wide, leaving the
score 19 to 6.
Oregon had won 25 games ta
15 for the Beavers before today'!

ing over Idaho last week, while
