WAR BONDS AND STAMPS TODAY July, 1040 at a cost of $1,314,223. Converted to a transport, she was renamed in honor of the late Colonel Charles G. McCawley, seventh commandant of the mar ine corps. The McCawley Jane's fighting ships carried a five-inch gun three three-inch guns and vari ous smaller weapons and had a normal complement of 197 crew members with a transport capac ity of about 1800 persons. Observers expressed belief that Tokyo's warlords cannot much longer avoid another open test of sea power if they hope to stem the coordinated land, naval and air drive that began with announcement that Ameri can forces had landed on Ren' dova island and was followed quickly by a series of trip-hanv mer assaults on key points of the New Guinea area. That Gen. Douglas MacArthur personally is directing the whole action underscored the full dress nature of the campaign now un der way. As allied forces moved into position from Nassau bay on the north coast of New Guinea to Rendova and New Georgia is lands in the Central Solomons fighting in some places and unop posed in others it appeared that a gigantic pincers movement was being aimed at the strategic and heavily fortified enemy base at Rabaul, on New Britain. Rabaul is generally regarded as the cen ter of the whole Japanese struc ture in the south and southwest Pacific areas. Compel Action It was believed here that the enemy now may be compelled to throw battleships and aircraft carriers, cruisers,, destroyers and submarines into a major counter offensive. Loss of Rabaul not only would expose the supply lines which link all of Japan's conquered territories in that whole area but would give the allies jumping-off place for an assault on the big enemy naval base of Truk island, 1000 miles to the north. Distances furnish a clue to the future development of the cam paign. Rendova is only five nau tical miles from the enemy air base at Munda, which in turn is only 125 miles from the Japanese bases in the Shortland island Bougainville area and 360 miles fighter plane range from Ra baul. The Rendova operation, direct ed by Admiral William Hslsey, commander of the South Pacific forces which were merged under MacArthur's Southwest Pacific command for the joint opera tion, forms the eastern prong of a giant pincers pointing toward Rabaul. To the west are Mac Arthur's own forces battling to ward the enemy stronghold at Salamaua, only a few miles from Nassau bay. And in the middle of these two operations are the Trobriand and Woodlark island groups, which were occupied by allied forces without oppisition. MILK PRICE PORTLAND, Ore., July 1 (IP) To offset increased production costs, the regional OPA office to day increased milk price ceilings in many sections of Oregon and in five southwest Washington counties under the Portland du trict. In some cases the price to the producer was increased but the retail price held at its present level. These instances, tnciua ins: the Portland market, were where OPA received evidence that while producers were being pinched, distributors were re ceiving a margin greater than necessary. Explaining the increase, Blair Stewart, district OPA officer. said that "we were under an in hibition by the department of agriculture not to set fluid milk prices so high that they would attract milk away from the man ufactured milk industries. The manufacture of dried and pro cessed milk for export to the armed forces must be Increased . -. . and the war food administra tion insists' that the consumption of fluid milk most not be in creased.. It has already reached a higher per capita rate than at any time in our history. In most parts of Oregon prices were set at 85 cents per pound butterfat at the producer with the wholesale price at 11.75 cents and the retail price at 13.5 cents per quart. Southern Oregon counties in cluded in the 85 cents, 11.79 and 13.5 cents prices were Douglas except that portion west of the coast range, Jackson, Josephine and Klamath.

Many workers in skilled categories were left to take jobs of lower classification o r resign, they said. No Strike At Portland, J. E. Fadling, vice piesidcnt of the Interna tional Woodworkers of America (CIO), which has bargaining rights at the mill said the ac tion did not constitute a strike. He said the management at tempted to fill out its two-shift crews with women but paid them less than the male scale and workers objected. The wom en were released and the' mill announced plans to change to a one 10-hour shift operation. War labor board spokesmen in Portland were hopeful the dispute could be settled speed, ily since the mill is one of those rare operations which has an ample stock of logs. WLB men expressed hope a two-shift operation could be resumed. TIMELY ACTION FITS HOLLYWOOD, July 1 (JO Latest American success in the South Pacific constituted time ly action to fit the words of Navy Secretary Frank Knox. "The war lords of Tokyo know not where or when the next blow will fall," he told a war bond rally here last night. Then, pausing momentarily while a smile spread across his face, he deviated briefly from his speech v to add: "Tojo found that out this morning. Just before I took the rostrum I was informed that other enemy-held islands have just been occupied by the navy and marines." (Word had just been flashed that the Trobriand, Woodlark, Rendova and New Georgia Is land groups had been invaded by forces under Gen. Douglas MacArthur.)

After congress returns from a contem plated summer recess, Wallace said BEW would ask for direct appropriations. In his statement Wallace said he had advised Jones at a White House conference with War Mo bilization Director James F. Byrnes that he had no intention of reflecting on Jones' patriot ism when he accused the RFC head of obstructing the war pro gram. Churchill Asks Unchanged French Command in Africa (Continued From Page One) and control of the French armed forces and the serious effect which this might have on the furtherance of the war effort and the safety of allied forces." The representation to the French committee of national liberation, the prime minister said, "was made on military grounds and implied no decision to invest Eisenhower with full control over the political organi zation in North Africa."
