On impulse John and two of his buddies t-5 William Fox and Cpl. George Pflug took off from their Hilltop on the italian front not far from mount Vesuvius and headed for German lines. Picking their Way carefully along the Back roads the three men arrived at an italian Garrison. John put his knowledge of italian to Good use and asked for an officer willing to give american mortar men information to help Mast the nazis off their local Perch. With an italian Captain in Tow the americans headed Back for their own lines and reported to battalion up where before startled officers they told their Story and produced As evidence their italian captains military maps and All. A a a the military version of a Broadway backdrop was found in Salerno where the nazis had constructed false front houses to a a hide a Large railway Bridge and fool any naval forces coming into the Bay. Curious americans often Stop and look at this bizarre bit of camouflage with amazement. There is a path behind the false fronts that leads through the wooden scaffolding carefully hidden gun emplacements. To persons passing directly in front of the houses the j Are obviously false but occasionally people Are fooled especially in the dark. On the front door of one of these ersatz houses is tacked i an argot notice.

Briefly this seems to be the Lewis View the mine workers were not engaged in a strike. The wage agreement Between mine workers and operators had ended the operators refusing to give a contract carrying Portal to Portal travel time pay such As is Given in the Metal mines by railroads and other industries. Since the wage contract was not renewed to the satisfaction of the miners there was nothing left for them to do but cease work. That a the Lewis version a version which incidentally does not Ake into account the consistent Lewis snubbing of the War labor no bits a Keyhole a press continued from Page u spread disunion among the allies and confusion in the planning of the  the editorial went on to say that while necessary secrecy was one of the causes of the situation a a it has been aggravated by much less necessary secrecy to which this tempts officials  the president agreed with this last. When. Asked if he could do anything to Stop official leaks the president said no that there were too Many people who must know Many plans in Advance that Only ten percent of Washington officialdom lets such leaks through. Earlier general Marshall authorized an official statement expressing a a the greatest Confidence in general somervell and adding that a a there is nothing but Complete Harmony and cooperation Between them. Secretary of War Henry l. Stimson also told the press that or. Roosevelt has a a absolutely refrained from interfering in any Way with the War department in the Choice of any generals of the army and in their duty  educator advocates new trend in study her main ambition she says is to Lead the Way Back to the states.

Opa to freeze new York rents new York a the office of Price administration has announced that new York City will be brought under a Federal rent con Troi measure nov. I. Rents on houses apartments hotels and homing houses will be Frozen at the March i level. Board a government Agency set up to handle just such disputes. Or. Lewis wants it known that he hates strikes As much As anybody and seemed sincere in expressing his preference for peaceful settlements to gain the goals for his Union. But come hell High water and War the mine workers and their welfare appear to come first with him. In their turn the miners seem to feel that if they can to Trust anyone else they can Trust Lewis. But this fanaticism to his cause and his inability to give ground to the opposition has made a failure of a potentially great Man. Seems sincere you can to escape feeling that Lewis is made of better stuff. He has an undeniable stature of mind. He is indefatigable. He seems sincere in his beliefs. Above All he is honest As he understands honesty despite the mental images one May have formed from newspapers and newsreels of an insufferable egoist with a Lions mane of hair and bulldog ferocity of features. Lewis can be As persuasive interesting and scholarly in conversation As any Man in America. Yet he can be just As dictatorial domineering and ruthless if he is crossed or walked or disputed in his statements. Since May and the successive Coal strikes Many letters from servicemen have come into United mine workers Headquarters Here demanding explanations from the miners chief. Here in part is the reply Lewis makes through his Public relations Secretary Many men in the service seem to think they would Trade places with the Coal miners. The facts Are that mothers of sons and individual miners Are constantly appealing to this office to have the War manpower commission release them from the Job in which they Are Frozen so that they can join the army and Navy. Comparative casualties As Between Coal mining and warfare there were 138,213 fatal and non fatal Accident in the american Coal mines in the past two years should Tell you Why. Pay Low a a skilled Coal Miner with three children earns an average of 1.450 dollars yearly Little More than an Ordinary government typist while the front line Soldier with three kids gets approximately 1,700 dollars yearly in pay and allowances. A the ump objects to being counted out of the game of receiving wages commensurate with increased food and living costs. We object to the Coal Industry increasing profits 18 percent in the past six months despite higher taxes and conversion funds when our workers draw an average of 35 dollars weekly after deductions and thousands Lack Money to use ration Stamps and provide themselves with even today s restricted diet. American soldiers and sailors need have no fear of the mine workers failing to deliver the goods. The Bureau of labor statistics shows that no other Basic american Industry has touched the de give of increased production registered by the Coal Industry. Not a single american Home went heartless or factory closed during this War to Date because of Lack of Coal  Strong Case it is True that even those who disagree with Lewis and Many labor leaders condemn him As responsible for the first National anti labor legislation in the shape of the Smith Connaly Bill or who despise his methods agree that there is a Strong Case to be made for the mine workers in their arguments with the operators and the War labor Board. But Lewis unlike other labor Heads has failed to indicate the faintest desire to cooperate in government plans to Check inflation or put aside personal political dislikes for the duration to participate in such planning. Today the nation is wondering what will happen on oct. 31 when he next Lewis deadline cables around. There is no indication As yet that the controversial Portal to Portal Issue will be approved by Hie War labor Board although Bewis plans currently look toward an indirect pay hike for miners through overtime agreements. But or. Lewis Isnit talking. Promotion Washington a maj Gen Alexander a. Vandergrift who commanded the marines on Guadalcanal has been nominated by president Roosevelt for promotion to lieutenant general
