4 Keeps Pounding Away in Air Raids at Bases of North Coast.

P.).—American and Australian planes resumed their aerial offensive, after a one-day lapse due to bad weather, with heavy attacks on the two chief Japanese invasion bases in the area northwest of Australia, Gen. Douglas MacArthur announced today. . The allied planes attacked the Japanese airdrome at Koepang, in the Netherlands half of Timor island, and shipping and a seaplane, base at Dili, in the Portuguese half. Two grounded Japanese planes were destroyed at Koepang, the airdrome runways were damaged and big fires were started among buildings. Allied fighter planes spoiled another Japanese raid on Port Moresby, * New Guinea, by prompt interception and damaged four of the 12 Japanese navy-O fighter planes participating. Norman J. O. Makin, Australian navy and munitions minister, said today that Australia’s mobilization of industrial strength for defense had raised it from a ‘fifth rate to a second rate world power.

are designed to steal workers from employers engaged in essential war production.” “In those cases,” Mr, McNutt added, “where labor unions have an agreement with an employer to furnish workers, I urge that they observe the same priorities in furnishing workers that the United States employment service is requested to observe.” Mr. McNutt emphasized that the program “cannot be entirely suc-

cessful unless the people of this nation co-operate fully with their government” and that it also is designed to aid “in focussing and co-ordinating the various activities of government agencies.”

List Skilled Occupations

The program: “1. A directive to the U. S. employment service to prepare and maintain a list of those skilled occupations essential to war production in which a national shortage exists. Such occupations will be designated as critical war occupations. “2. A directive to the war production board to classify war plants and war products in the order of

ployment service to proceed immediately to analyze and classify the occupational questionnaires distributed by the selective service system, to interview those individuals with skills in critical war occupations, and to refer them to job openings in war production work.

More Farm Labor Sought

“5. A directive to the selective service system to instruct all its local boards located in a community served by the U. S. employment service to secure the advice of the local public employment office before classifying or reclassifying an individual skilled in a critical war occupation. “6. A directive to the U. S. employment service to increase its activities and facilities necessary to provide additional agricultural workers. “7, A directive to the farm security administration to increase the number of mobile labor camps in order to make available workers in agriculture to achieve the ‘food for victory’ objective. “g. A directive to the office of defense transportation and the farin security administration to assure adequate transportation facilities to move against migrant agricultural workers.”

100 Labor Camps Formed

Officials said nearly 100 mobile labor camps already have been established in the South and West sections of the country and that 18 more will be set up in the East this summer. They said none of these directives was intended specifically to stop migration of badly needed farm workers to high-paying industrial jobs, and that a directive would be issued soon for this purpose. The seriousness of the labor shortage on farms, Mr. McNutt said, was indicated by reduction of acreage, reduction of dairy herds, and nonharvesting of crops. In the war plants, he said 384 of 700 war contractors recently surveyed had been forced to reduce production because of skilled-labor shortage. He disclosed that the war labor force will be boosted from approximately 9,000,000 to 25,000,000 by the end of 1943, and that 7,000,000 addi-. tional men will be taken into the

CLIPPER SERVICE TO EIRE RESUMED

LONDON, May 21 (U. P.).—The first Pan-American clipper plane since 1939 to fly the direct transAtlantic route between New York and Foynes, Eire, departed on its return trip last night with nine passengers and a large mail cargo. ' The plane, commanded by Cant. Audrey Durst, arrived in Foynes with 20 passengers yesterday. The Foynes-New York clipper service was suspended when Presibdent Roosevelt included Eire in the European war zone. Since then ,| clipper service has been maintained between New York and Lisbon, ‘Portugal.

HOOVER URGES UNITY IN WAR

Forget Differences and Go To Work and Win Victory, He Says.

NEW YORK, May 21.—The “healing of our prewar differences” as necessary to national unity was called for by Herbert Hoover last night in an address before the National Industrial Conference board. The former president spoke on “The Limitations on Freedom in War.” “No public servant,” he said, “can be free of criticism if democracy is to continue to live. But the first rule of criticism is that it must not take the form of personal detraction and abuse.” : He said he would like to see the “sixth columnists,” the ones “who discuss the war or criticise its conduct in private conversations,” given a “little more liberty.”

Three Major Tasks

Asserting the three major tasks before this country are winning the war and after the war the recovery of suspended liberties and the maintaining of a lasting peace, Mr. Hoover added three suggestions of his own: 1. A more definite war council: embracing in its membership the civilian heads of the great war agencies. 2. To “think out” now the postwar economic reconstruction, preparing for it by objective research and public debate. 3. Preparedness for peace through “setting up of moral, intellectual, economic and political forces over the whole world which will ii and hold peace.”

NAZI ANTI-TANK GUN; FAST BUT ‘HARMLESS’

WASHINGTON, May 21 (U. P.) — A British tank corps officer who is here on a technical mission today reported that Germany has a new anti-tank gun, the projectiles of which can pierce the heaviest armor of any known tank. But ft doesn’t do much damage. The penetration power was said to be a result of the fact that the gun is 12 mm. narrower at the muzzle than at the breach. The compression against the retarded projectile as it passes the muzzle is said to give it added speed, reaching an unpretedented velocity of 4000 feet per second at the muzzle. Some criticism developed among British tank corps men at the failure of their country to develop a similar gun, the officer said, until it was found that, while every shell

the tank armor, it usually rattled around inside without much damage. The British, he said, use a much heavier shell which will penetrate at close range. But when it penetrates, he added, it puts the tank and crew permanently out of commission.

AXIS DIPLOMATS RIDICULE F. D. R.

In the’ Best Hotels but They Say They Were. : ‘Mistreated.’ LISBON, May 21 (U. P.).—German newspapers utilized the return of axis diplomats and newspapermen to attack violently President Roosevelt, Monday and Tuesday editions of Nazi newspapers, which have just arrived here, showed today. They played up two themes: That interned Germans and others were ‘badly treated in the United States, and that the outlook for the United States was bad because of internal, politcial and economic conditions, low morale and a heartless war effort. The newspaper ignored or confined to one sentence the fact that axis diplomats and newspapermen were interned in some of the United States’ best resort hotels. They charged that, “upon Roosevelt’s orders,” their diplomats were “included in the American rogue’s gallery.” Scant mention was made of the true facts; that non-diplomatic internees were merely photographed

Two Examples of How New. Tax Rates Would Cut Income

WASHINGTON, May 21 (U; P.). ~The following examples of typical taxpayers illustrate the extent the new income tax rates, if approved by - the house and senate, will eut into the average man’s income:

A SOLDIER EARNING $600 A YEAR A bill is pending in congress to raise the pay of buck privates to $50 a month—$600 a year.. This year such a soldier would have to pay nothing. Here’s how he would have to figure his tax for next year: From total income of $600 deduct $500 for personal exemption, assuming he has no other dependents. That leaves $100 net income assuming that a soldier would not have other deductions such as contributions to charity and state taxes to make. | On the $100 net income he would pay & 12 per cent surtax or $12. From the net income he could deduct earned income credit (10 per cent of total income, or $60, leaving $40 on which to pay the normal tax of 6 per cent, or $2.40. Surtax plus normal tax would make his tax bill $14.40.
