Turkey, on hit mission as Presi
dent Roosevelt's special emis
sary. "He attacked the allied posi
tions and had 100 of his 290
first line tanks knocked out by
allied forces in the first battle.
I saw the ruins of these tanks
myself.
"I am convinced that Rommel
(Axis Field Marshal Erwin Rom
mel) has lost 40 per cent of his
punch."
Decision Mad
Allied capitals rang anew
with second-front speculation in
the wake of President Roose
velt's broadcast last night, in
which the chief executive dis
closed that vital military deci
sions had already been made
and declared:
"In due time, you will know
what these decisions are and
so will our enemies. I can say
now that all of these rtpriciens
are directed toward taking the
offensive.
By implication, Mr. Roosevelt
revealed that at least 528,000
American troops have already
been sent overseas, or more
than three times the number
sent to France in the first nine
months of the 1911-18 World
war.
Reds Dissatisfied
The rising, tempo of allied
offensive preparations was also
indicated by Prime Minister
Churchill, who told parliament
in London that suggestions for
the establishment of a supreme
allied war council and for uni
fied control of British land, sea
and air forces were "of consid
erable interest."
Churchill described, the
Dieppe super - Commando raid
as "an indispensable prelimin
ary to full-scale, operations."
Commenting on his talks with
Premier. Stalin in Moscow,
Churchill acknowledged that
fiii Ausaittus do not think we
or the Americans have done
enough so far to take the weight
off them."

Labor Day "Violeni Death"

Br The Associated Press
America observed the first
wartime Labor day in nearly
a quarter of a century yester
day but millions of workers
for whom the holiday was des
ignatedkept busy at their Jobs
to insure no interruption along
the industrial front.
The war time observance of
the holiday, in addition to main
taining the flow of production,
paid dividends in the number
of lives saved attendant to the
traditional celebrations normal
ly staged throughout the nation.

rearguards had put "more sting
in the axis tall."
Back-Tracked
But the bulk of the tank and
infantry forces with which
Rommel launched his drive had
back-tracked to an area within
a few miles of their jumping
off point. Allied planes, British
light tanks, armored cars and
mobile guns maintained their
pressure. v
i Whether the British hoped, to
gain sufficient momentum to
begin a real counter-offensive
was a question.
Defensive power was Illus
trated by the wreckage of axis
tanks and trucks strewn across
the battlefield. Rommel was re
ported to have told his troops
just eight days- ago that "we'll
be in Cairo next week."

through the mountains.
"In a series of frontal attacks,
combined with envelopment, the
enemy has made advances forc
ing back our troops in forward
areas and Is now in contact with
our defense positions," Gen.
MacArthur's headquarters said.
The communique" indicated
that a battle in the clouds was
developing 5000 feet above the
former Kokoda battle region,
with the Japanese pushing for
ward to storm the allied-held
mountain pass.
Allied planes flying over the
lotty range were reported dive

Japanese supply lines and
troops, setting fires among en
emy huts.
In the Solomons, the .navy "re
ported, American land and air
forces were blasting away at
scattered Japanese, attempting
to regain lost footholds in the
strategic islands.
The navy said U. S. planes
bombed and strafed fleets of en
emy small boats, destroying
many of them and causing
"liei,vy loss of life."
While the Japanese probably
succeeded in landing some rein
forcements, the navy said U. S.
marines were "continuing to
search out and dispose" of iso
lated forces which had fled to
the mountains and jungles after
American occupation.
As a single instance of the
havoc inflicted, the navy said a
U. S. air patrol discovered an
enemy attempt to land on Sat
urday near the west end of Guad

"killed a large number of
troops."

Previously the commission
had depended on voluntary ap
pliance with Its directives but
it was disclosed that the new
order will be enforced through
the power of government pro
curement agencies to approve or
disapprove payrolls of plants
producing war materials.
Euential Jobs
Manpower sources recently
disclosed that war service legis
lation was being prepared, un
der direction of McNutt, which
would give the government
power to keep or assign work
men to vital war jobs. It 'was
understood commission mem
bers were convinced that total
mobilization of the nation's
adult work resources could not
be accomplished by voluntary
compliance alone.
A commission official, who
asked that his name not be used
directly, explained that the pro
curement agencies, principally
the war and navy departments
and maritime commission, could
disapprove payrolls of firms us
ing workmen deemed by the
commission to be improperly
employed, and thereby keep the
workers at jobs that the com
mission considered most essen
tial. Critical Labor Area
It was not certain, however,
how. closely the procurement
agencies would be. bound to
comply with McNutt's directives
relative" to payroll approvals or
disapprovals.
The commission "spokesman
said that effectiveness still
would be largely dependent on
"patriotic response" to such
orders.
States in the "critical labor
area" are Arizona. Colorado,
Idaho, Montana. Utah, Wyom
ing, California. Nevada. Oreoon,
Washington, New Mexico and
Texas.
