Under NLRB 'The labor dispute in this case, like all other labor disputes, is within tho jurisdiction of the na tional labor board under execu tive order 90X7 of January 1942. Under the national policy of economic stabilization by the act of congress of October 2, 1942 and the president's executive order of October 3 and its sup plements, issued in accordance with that act of congress, if any wage adjustment is justifiable on the merits it must be approved by the national war labor board; and if it is such as to require au increase in the price of the pro duct produced, it could not be put into effect until it is also approved by the director of eco nomic stabilization. . "This law applies to the coal miners and coal operators as well as to every other citizen of the United States. "In demanding a wage in crease and at the same time re fusing to seek the approval of the national war labor board, Mr. Lewis is defying the lawfully established procedures of the government of the United States. Df ianc of Law 'This is not only a defiance of our laws, but it is also the only thing that stands in the way of the working out of a new con tract for the mine workers by orderly . peaceful procedure in accordance with the order of the national war labor board of May 14, 1943 and the national stab ilization policy under the act of congress of October 2, 1942.

Central Valley Project Gets Funds After WPB Ban Off WASHINGTON, May 17 VP) Due to the fact that practically all construction work on recla mation projects had been stopped by the war production board, the house appropriations committee, in the interior department bill introduced today, included funds for only one project, on which the WPB recently lifted its ban. This was the Central valley project in California, for which the committee allowed $11,500, 000 but recommended that no funds be expended for construc tion of a proposed transmission line from the Shasta substation to Orovllle.

One Wellington made four separate runs over tho target, the last at only 750 feet altitude.

The acknowledgment that American troops still are pour ing asnore at Attu was subordi nated at the end of the broad cast, which sought to emphasize successes which the Japanese were said to have gained in the early phases of the fighting.

"No doubt some means was employed to float the mines (ad just the depth) so that they hit the most vital part," he said. To hnve attempted to demol ish the dams with bombs would have necessitated the use of a far greater number of aircraft than was employed and skilful precision work at the sights, it was added. Sir Archibald Sinclair, air minister, said walls of the Mor ne and Eder dams were broken. One backed up 134,000,000 tons of water and the other 202, 000,000 tons, ho said. Their de struction constituted a power ful blow to industrial Germany, he added. Heavy Toll The Germans themselves re ported officially on the Berlin radio that the floodtide took a heavy toll ot casualties. Both dams produced hydro electric power for Ruhr valley industries. The German year book lists only 30 dams, so the RAF's night work probably was a great blow to German indus tries, it was stated. Repairing dams is a lengthy task. Mohn Breached Subsequently, an air ministry communique said tho Mohne dam had been breached for 100 yards and the power station be yond was swept away by result ing floods. The dams were at tacked with mines. The Eder dam, controlling the headwaters of the Weser and Fulda valleys, also was breached and "photographs show the river below the dam in full flood," the ministry said. The communique said the two dams controlled two-thirds of the water storage capacity of the Ruhr basin. "The attacks were pressed home from very low level with great determination and cool ness in the face of fierce resist ance," It said. EDITORIALS ON ) NEWS (Continued From Page One) stroy TWO German dams and the waters thus released roar down through the valleys of tho Ruhr and the Eder. We're all familiar with floods and can pic ture the damage thus done. The dams supplied electric power. The British bombers that hit Italy noted particularly tha LIGHTNESS of fighter and anti aircraft defense. That is prob ably significant. THE big fighting hasn't started A yet in Russia. Air operations arc heavy, and the Russians claim destruction of 1300 German planes in two weeks with a loss of only 339 of their ownbetter than three to one. That's important, If true. JHE latest figures from Tunisia put the number of prisoners at 175,000 and still counting. TWENTY - SEVEN GENER ALS are included in the bag. Tunisia was a German disaster. ()NLY air activity is reported today from the South Pacific and from Burma. Appeal for Might To Knock Out Japs WASHINGTON, May 17 (P) An appeal for prompt diversion of American military, might to knock Japan out of the war now brought predictions in the senate today that after Germany is beat en the United States may expect little if any help from Russia and England against the Japan ese. Senator Chandler (D-Ky.), as serting he sees the threat of a "major disaster" unless the war is carried immediately to Japan, declared that "although Russia is our partner there is no showing thus far that she is ever going to fight the Japs."

CUT RECOMMENDED IN ICKES' F 5 (Continued From Page One) NPB order prevented using it Food Ssrious Grovcr B, Hill, under secre tary of agriculture, testified at hearings on the bill that the food shortage was serious and the committee said it was "deeply Impressed by the frank statement. "Regardless of how much food we will produce, it will not be enough," Hill told the committee. "Even though we could produce twice as much food as we will be able to pro duce we could use It all. How ever, I don't think we are going to go hungry. We will conserve our food. We will only divide with our allies to the extent that we can still have food to eat; but, for the prosecution of the war ft would be impossible for us in this country to pro duce as much food as we could use In this war." Acute in W.t Hill told the committee the food shortage was possibly more acute on the west coast due to the Influx of war industries and workers. The committee said that In view of Hill's statement It hoped the WPB would "rein vestigate and seriously consider allowing priorities to pormlt re sumption of work on the 23 reclamation projects."
