last effort to break out of the
trap at Gona. Their night at
tack was stopped cold, and the
Inst of Hiclr resistance collapsed.
Allied headquarters, mean
''"while, added another chapter to
'the lengthening accounts of the
exploits of America's heavily
armed long range bombers.
It reported that Flying Fort
resses and Liberator bombers
clashed in a furious aerial duel
with Japanese fighter planes off
the coast of New Britain. When
the fight was over the bombers
without a single loss had
knocked down 10 of the enemy
planes and so greatly damaged
four others that they probably
were unable to reach base.

SAN FRANCISCO, Dec. 10 (IP)
Vallejo landlords rebelling
against OPA rent controls today
found themselves assailed in one
quarter, as guilty of subversive
conduct, while from another
came sympathy and a measure of
support for their action. 1
C. S. Crittenden, who as di
rector of the rent control office
in this : district was made the
direct target of the dissident
landlords' complaints, brushed
off the suggestion there was any
concerted support behind the
Vallejo movement: y
"A few are disgracing that
fine city by following an ap
parently well-organized canv
paign to discredit .the law," he
said in a statement. '"They say
they will refdse to abide by the
rules adopted by congress. '.They
will rise above .the Jaw.',.-, i '
"Such action would be. repre
hensible in peace time, i In.Hime
of war it is, to?. use plain lan
guage, 'subversive, conduct.' It
should be regarded as such.". )

I MASTERY
(Continued From Page One)
British military sources in Lon
don said it did not mean that the
westward offensive again was
under way.
Allied Mastery
In Tunisia, the allies and Ger
mans both were reported prob
ing cautiously for weak spots
and speeding preparations for
the decisive battle.
Reports of allied air blows,
both destructive offensive
smashes and successful defensive
air fighting with evidently
plentiful and well-varied war
planes, indicated that air mast
ery was swinging back to the
allies.
Nail Convoy Hit
When the British and Amer
icans closed virtually, to the
threshholds of Tunis and Bizerte,
their drive was handicapped by
the lack of adequate air bases
close to the- front. Now, how
ever, Associated Press reports
tell of ground commanders tele
phoning for air coverage as
casually as calling for a taxi.
Again, British headquarters
reported that allied twin-engined
fighters probably American
P-38 Lightnings had pounced
on an enemy air convoy north
bound from Africa and had shot
down two German transport
planes near Lampedusa island,
between Sicily and Tunisia.

CASE SETTLED
PORTLAND, Dec. 10 (IP)
The OPA's case against four
Oregon meat packers was set
tled before Federal Judge Claude
McCoIloch today, by stipulation.
All beef and veal must be
graded by inspectors of the agri
cultural marketing administra
tion, the judge held.
It was explained that such
grading had been in effect in
the four plants Swift's, Singer
Bros., Herman Kowals, Port
land, and Pauley Packing, Klam
ath Falls, for several weeks.
The stipulation, from which
the judge will write the decree,
is made specifically for Swift's
but will cover the other three.1
It further restrains the com
pany from slaughtering at the
Portland plant any beef or veal
subject to the maximum price
regulations, unless approved by
AMA inspectors. i

TRIAL HERE
A circuit court jury late Wed
nesday returned a verdict which
denied damages to both parties
in the accident case of E. A.
Vanderhoef and Clive Brandon
against Lewis Hornsby.
The case grew out of a crash
on the Weed highway near the
Kalpine turn-off on October 6,
1941, involving two cars and a
big truck loaded with apples
and operated by Vanderhoct and
Brandon.
They sued Hornsby. driver of
one of the cars, for $2800, the
value of the truck. Hornsby
counter-claimed with a- claim
for $15,000 plus medical ex
penses. The Jury, after hearing evi
dence all day Wednesday, re
turned a verdict finding in favor
of the defendant upon the plain
tiff's complaint and in favor of
the plaintiff on the defendant's
counter-claim.
Deliberations in the jury room
lasted less than an hour.
..'Henry Perkins represented
the' plaintiff and Richard Max
well the defense in this case.
In the past we have tried to
achieve peace in the wrong way,
thinking that minding our own
business and trying to meet our
economic problems by ourselves
would be an example which the
rest of the world would follow.
We forgot that our economic
troubles were tied to the eco
nomic troubles of the rest of the
world. Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt.
During my presidency I shall,
continue democratic policies. In
ternally and internationally I
shall strengthen tics with demo-'
cratic nations. Dr. Jean Jose

duction. Tho plan was described
as "voluntary but with ex
tensive possibilities for Its en
forcement." Asking the cooperation of
management and labor, the dis
trict office recommended that no
worker leave his present Job for
another without a "clearance"
from his employer, or from tho
district office.
Tho policy, covering 34 "es
sential categories of work, sets
forth that such "clearance"
should be granted only under
specified conditions.
M. A. Clark, district director
of tho manpower commission,
said the plan also was aimed at
halting "pirating" of workers,
in which employes are lured
from one company by more at
tractive offers from another.
The plan, adopted by the labor
management advisory committee
to tho manpower commission in
Detroit, covers such factories as
the Ford Willow, run bomber
plant; Dotrolt tank arsenal
which is operated by Chrysler
Corp., and the United States
naval ordnance plant, operated
by tho Hudson Motor Car com
pany. Schoolmate Members of the
