Last night Charles R. Ward, a
United States labor conciliation
commissioner, asked the union
not to take any further steps to
ward a strike until he had ex
plored the possibilities of a set
tlement, Lieut. Col. Georgo E.
Strong of the army air corps
also told the unionists a work
stoppage in aluminum produc
tion would cause an acute dan
ger as "we certainly cannot have
adequate airpower if there is an
interruption to aluminum
supply."

The delegates from the plants
at New Kensington, Pa., Detroit,
Edgjwater, N, J., Alcoa, Tenh.,
Bauxite, Ark., Badin, N. C, and
Bridgeport-Fairfield, Conn., have
been in daily session since Wed
nesday discussing the war labor
board's ruling which found that
straight-time hourly earnings on
a company-wide basis has in
creased 15.8 per cent between
January 1941 and May 1942
while the cost of living increased
15 per cent. The board set a pol
icy in the "little steel" case of
permitting wage increases to off
set the cost of living increase.
Labor members of the WLB dis
sented, saying the ruling of the
aluminum case did not apply the
wage formula "in a just and
equitable manner."
Union leaders said the stop
page at the California plant was
unauthorized but William B.
Taylor, west coast director of
aviation for the CIO United Au
tomobile Workers said he had
been authorized to ask presiden
tial Intervention unless a settle
ment was reached at a meeting

pany officials denied there had
been a lookout and said produc

Meanwhile, the Russians

anniversary of the siege of Len

aided by the city's 3,000,000
civilian population, has held the
Germans at bay for 12 months.
. Dispatches to Pravda said
Adolf Hitler, expecting a swift
conquest of the old-time capital
of the Czars, had thrown 60 di
visions into the long assault and
hauled up 6,000 big guns, 19,
000 machineguns, 4,500 mortars
and 1,000 tanks in a vain at
tempt to crack the city's de
fenses. Heavy local ' fighting still
raged around the northern me
tropolis, with a mid-day com

than 1,000 Germans had been
wiped out in 48 hours. Russian
troops were credited with cap
turing an important strategic
position in a limited offensive,
v While the Russians appeared
to have stalled the great nazi
drive against Stalingrad, for: the
moment at least, the British
claimed mastery of the air over

of Dieppe.
London quarters said the

had been clipped In the tremen

In tile 16-day-old battle of
the Solomons, Uen. Douglas
MacArthur's air scouts searched
the vast island-dotted South
seas in quest of Japanese naval
activity amid reports that the
enemy was massing new
strength for a counterblow
against U. S. marines in the
Tulagl area.
Islands Capturtd
The "navy's announcement
that several islands had been
"recently captured", indicated
that . the marines, cutting
through the mountainous jun

occupation of tne strategic
bases. The leathernecks were
known to have gained beach
heads on at least tnree and per
haps six of the eastern Solo

Japanese were busily reorgan

in the northern Solomons, ap
parently for a renewed attempt
to drive out the American sea

These quarters said Japanese
troops in the Tulagi region were
fighting a bitter delaying action
in the hope of receiving rein

outcome still hangs in the bal

"TOO MUCH TALK"
WASHINGTON, Aug. 21 (P)
Declaring heads of some govern
ment agencies were talking too
much, President Roosevelt today
directed all government admin
istrators to refrain from public
debate of controversial questions
of policy and to stop criticizing
each other in such controversies.
Mr1. Roosevelt said that such
airing of divergent opinions in
the public press' were being
seized upon and exploited by en
emies of the United Nations. In
identical letters to the heads of
each department and agency, the
president said: ,
"Disagreements either as to
fact or policy should not be pub
licly aired, but are to be submit
ted to me by the appropriate
heads of the conflicting agencies.
"The policy of the government
should be announced by mcf, as
the responsible head thereof.' Dis
agreements as to facts can be
resolved, if necessary, by inves
tigations and surveys directed by
mo.
"Will you please see to it that
your particular department and
its various bureaus and divisions
comply with these Instructions."

duction dropped in July to
eight-hundredths of 1 per cent
of total man days worked, from
nine-hundredths of 1 per cent
in June.
(Further, the story quoted,
the number of man-days lost
dropped from 254,653 in June
to 233,614 in July, a decrease
of approximately 8 per cent. In
the same period, the number of
man-days worked rose from ap
proximately 275,000,000 to 308,
000,000.) Because of what he termed a
disproportioned exposition of
the news, he said false impres
sions were spread not only in
Britain, but also in the Near
East and were seized on by our
enemies. " Reports that ten men
walk out are front page stuff
for these enemies, Mr. Roose
velt declared.
So, he continued, he had
asked Willkie to tell the troth
on the other side of the Atlantic.
Reporters reminded him that
there were sometimes state
ments by competent authorities,
members of congress, for ex
ample, that production was fall
ing off, and that this constituted
legitimate hews at times.
Yes, the chief executive
agreed, with a note of skeptic
Ism in his voice, but he said It
depended largely on what paper
the reporter works for.

Essential to its success, these
sources said, would be sufficient
superiority in land-based planes,
adequate transport facilities,
and a strong clement of sur

shrouded for miles in smoke

There was heroism at sea and
In the skies in those hours, but
the hell-spot was ashore, where
the Canadians fought at cUwe
quarters' with tho nazls. They
fought to the end with courage
and daring.
When they approached Dieppe
it was an arsenal of coastal de
fense. When they left Dieppe It
was afire, its ruins and its dead
lying under a smoky shroud.
Tim operation against Dieppe
started from a British port Tues
day evening.
I boarded a ship which also
carried a Royal regiment from
Toronto. It was 7 p. m. Only
then were we told that Dieppe
was 'our destination,
The Royals took it coolly
enough. They had been trained
with the rest of the force for sev
eral months on combined opera
tions for lust such a job.
Tatkt "Brltftd"
Maps, mosaics and photo
graphs of Dleppo were issued,
and as the boats put to set with
other ships of the raiding fleet
the troops were "briefed" In
their tasks.
Below deck the men sat
around, cleaning weapons, fusing
grenades and loading magazines
of Sten, Bren and Tommy guns.
:. In that darkness the flotilla
formed: shadowy tank-landing
craft that looked like oil- tank
ers, a score of small assault
boats, destroyers, gunboats, mo
tor launches and torpedo boats.
A few officers In the raiding
party drank some beer with the
ship captain and chatted about
everything except the operation.
We had a snack of bully beef,
bread and butter with tea and
then went oyer the sldolnto an
assault craft ' 1 - .
After leaving the mother
ships, our flotilla of little craft
took positions In a line astern.
The Canadians were to land at
Puits, one mile east of Dieppe
and establish themselves in that
Flanklno area.
Just as we were pushing away
from the mother ship, an old
British tar whispered to us:
"Cheerio, laddies, best luck.
Give the a licking."
Nobody Nervous
It was pleasant enough In the
open assault boats. Nobody
teemed particularly nervous
about the coming business, al
though it was to be the Canad
ians' first time in action.
I had about convinced myself
that this was only another of
those familiar exercises when at
4:10 a. m., about SO minutes be
fore we were due to hit the
beach, a flare arched over the
channel.
Tracer bullets followed quick
ly, long- green and red streaks
marking their paths. They were
too close for comfort.
"E-boats," announced a sailor.
Atmoaphtre Tense
The atmosphere suddenly
grew tense and wide-awake. Men
tightened their gHpr on weap
ons. A sailor hoisted a Lewis gun
into place and cocked it.
Our boats slipped steadily on
through the quiet waters. Our
motor was hardly audible.
Then the German E-boats ap
peared close by, off to one side.
They opened up with shots
that bounced bright red off one
or two of our boats.

There was a great roar as a

seemed half a mllo long. Black
smoke billowed out and turned
white as It curled along lust
above tho sea to conceal our

Crouching low, the Canadians
got ready. Their faces were taut
and their Jaws were firm. We
knew this wouldn't bo any porty.
We could see destroyers, and
gun boats creeping up behind
the attack flotillas raring for the
main shore. Tho flame ond roar
of the artillery told us that the
