American Show
(It was almost entirely an
American show, it was reported
in Cairo, although British Im
perial planes provided top
cover.)
Warhawk and Spitfire fight
ers engaged 100 enemy transport
aircraft and their escort and, in
addition to the 74 destroyed, 30
other planes were reported dam
aged. A Cairo communique said
nine American planes were lost,
but one of the pilots was known
to be safe.
Series of Raids
This was but one of a series
of exploits in which allied air
men and ground gunners shot
down 85 axis planes during the
day and night.
Sardinian, Sicilian and Tu
nisian targets were heavily at
tacked. Flying Fortresses left large
fires burning in the freight yards
and on an air field at the Sicilian
port of Palermo and a communi
que said that "bombs were seen
to burst among enemy fighters
that had just landed from an at
tack on the preceding formation
of Fortresses."
United States and South Afri
can pilots of the western desert
air force hunted across the
Sicilian straits until late yester
day afternoon to score the spec
tacular blow against Marshal
Edwin Rommel aerial shipping
faculties.

Folkes made an oral statement
in which, Los Angeles police
said, he admitted slashing the
throat of the comely navy of
ficer's bride as she lay in her
berth, lower 13, of a speeding
passenger train early January
23. The statement was admitted
into evidence at the trial last
week.
Folkes might have had a
"drink or two" before the In
terview, De River said, "but he
was not Intoxicated." Previously
Los Angeles police officers had
testified that . they had given
Fplkes a half -pint of whiskey at
his request. . .
Tells of Bargain
Capt. Vernon Rassmussen and
Lieut E. A. Tetrlck said Fblkes
had told them if they would per
mit him to see his girl friend,
buy him a dinner and give him
a few drinks be would tell them
the details of the slaying.
De River said that Folkes com
plained of no Injury of mistreat
ment at the hands of the Los
Angeles police at the time he ap
peared before De River.
The next morning, De River
said, Folkes was brought before
him for an examination. He
said he found no evidence of In
juries on Folkes. The negro, he
said, was in good physical con
dition.
Cross-examining De River, De
fense Attorney Leroy Lomax
asked If he were the one who
had referred to Folkes as "an ex
hibitionist."
"Yes," De River answered, "I
might have said that."
Wemrlck then said the state
would rest and Lomax asked a
brief recess to enable him to
examine some points of law he
desired to have argued before
the court.

mean higher pay per hour for
him, McNutt emphasized, and
any workers may. change from a
non-essential employer either to
another non-essential employer
or to an essential employer at
higher rates without restriction
'under the order.
Coercive
The decree, issued over the
weekend by Manpower Commis
sioner Paul V. McNutt on orders
from President Roosevelt, Was
promptly assailed as "coercive"
by Senator Austin (R-Vt.), co-author
of the national service bill.
Austin predicted it will in
crease public sentiment for leg
islation to draft men and women
wherever they are needed in the
war effort.
McNutt gave reporters this ex
planation: "We've got a war on."
The nation's remaining 25,
000,000 civilian workers all
those in non-essential activities
were left free to move at will
to other non-essential employers
or to essential employers offer
ing higher wages or salaries.
One Exception
There was one exception to
the ban against essential work
ers shifting to higher paying jobs
the pay being measured on the
basis of compensation per hour
within 30 days after leaving
their jobs.
The exception covered trans
fers from one essential employer
to another where the work is
performed in an area covered by
an "employment stabilization
program" approved by the
WMC.
These transfers will be made
if the old employer will release
the worker or, if he refuses, the
WMC releases him on the ground
that his old job does not make
full time use of his "highest
skill."
The releases must be granted
automatically when the worker
is fired or "laid off for an indefi
nite period or for seven days or
more."
But grant of a release "solely
on the ground that the individ
ual's wage or salary rate is sub
stantially, less than that prevail
ing in the locality for the same
or substantially similar work" is
forbidden.
- CARD OF THANKS
We wish to extend our heart
felt thanks to all who so kindly
assisted and for the words of
sympathy and beautiful floral
offerings extended at the death
of our beloved sister.

PINE INCREASE
CASE AWAITS
BYRNES ACTION
" Interest was stirred In lumber
circles here over the weekend
by nows developments in connect
tion with the proposed 7i-cent
hourly raise for 20,000 pine
workers, including those In this
territory.
The award is before Economic
Stabilization Director James F.
Byrnes for final decision.
Wayne L. Morse, public mem
ber of the war labor board, an
nounced In Washington, D. C,
on Saturday that the war labor
board had voted 5 to 4 to uphold
the west coast lumber commls
slon in the tatter's action favor
ing the 71 cent rise.
Morse said he had dissented
on the ground that the increase
should have been larger. But, he
pointed out, a ceiling Is in'
volved, and the final ruling must
come from Economic Director
Byrnes.
There has been some discus
sion here as to the effect on the
proposed pine wage increase of
the presidential order of April 8
to "hold the line" against infla
tion. Chronologically, what has hap
pened on the pine wage increase
proposal is this:
January 6 The west coast
lumber commission agreed on
the award.
March 15 The war labor
board confirmed the west coast
commission's decision.
March 23 The award was an
nounced, contingent on favor
able OPA action.
April 6 A supplemental an
nouncement was made to the ef
fect the award was held up for
action by Byrnes, with the OPA
failing to recommend action.
April 8 Presidential "hold
the lina against inflation" order.
April 18 Morse made his an
nouncement of the previous
WLB action and disclosed his
own stand in favor of an even
greater increase.
Morse in his Washington
statement said he and three la
bor members of the board had
favored an additional 2tt cent
increase. He said he felt the
additional increase was needed
for maximum production of
lumber for the war effort He

furnishing the names and draft
boards supplying the address.
The worker then will be told
to return to the woods. Unless
he has a satisfactory explanation
why he cannot, he will answer
to the draft board. War industry
employers, such as shipyards,
generally paying at least 10
cents an hour higher basic wage
than in woods operations, have
been told to discharge loggers
hired since September 7 without
certificates of availability. Lum
bermen say there are many of
these. Army, navy, maritime
commission and other agencies
controlling war contracts will
apply pressure to see that the
men are discharged. Under the
manpower freeze plan other war
plants will be unable to hire
them.
MORE NEW MACHINERY
Increased quotas for many
items of new farm machinery
arc expected to take care of all
essential needs for milking ma
chines, cream separators, wheel
tractors, combines and tractor
plows. The state USDA War
Board Is attempting to obtain In
creased allocations of haying and
potato machinery. Despite In
creased quotas, meeting 1943
production, goals will still re
quire full use and pooling of all
existing machinery.
