WASHINGTON, Feb. 4 (U. P.)—

{ The demand of 450,000 bituminous

coal miners for a $2-a-day wage increase may be a body blow to the administration’s already shaky wage and price stabilization pro-

dont John L. Lewis of the United Mine Workers union (independent) announced the miners’ demand for a raise that will amount to nearly $1,000,000 a day last night, climaxing strong attacks on the war labor board’s: “little . wage formula and the inability of government agencies to stem a steady rise in the cost of living. : Most observers here felt that Mr. Lewis’ action has “blown the top off a powder keg.” Some action to preserve wage and price ceilings almost certainly will be taken soon. ‘The WLB, beset with requests on all sides for wage increases in violation of its “little steel” formula, has asked Economic Stabilization Director James F. Byrnes to decide whether it should be revised upward. Thus the final decision in the coal miners case and others may be made by Mr. Byrnes, or even President Roosevelt.

in overwater evacuation. It is extremely doubtful if the Germans have shipping facilities in the Crimea even remotely approaching what the British had at Dunkirk. The Russian Black sea fleet still is intact and is lying in wait. Then there is a considerable Russia air force based at Tuapse. North of Rostov, Kursk to the region of Voroshilovgrad, the German lines are cracking at vital points. The Russians have: cut the ' Moscow-Kharkov ‘railroad 30 miles above Kharkov, They are closing in on this German stronghold from north and south, having taken the railroad junction of Kupyansk, 65 miles southeast of Kharkov. Military considerations should impel the Germans to fall back toward Kiev before the Russian trap closes. However, just as Hitler sacrificed hundreds of thousands of meh in a suicidal stand at Stalingrad, it is possible he may order his generals to fight to the last man. In that case, a situation similar to that at Stalingrad may be in he making in the Kharkov-Kursk' area.

LONDON, Feb. 4 (U. P.).—Allied planes attacked axis supply lines, tanks, artillery and shipping today in a gigantic arc from southern Tunisia to the northeastern “tip of Sicily, while American and British forces sought to consolidate gains at strategic points along the Tunisian front. British troops still were fighting fiercely to hold an important height

known as Djebel Mansour, miles south of Bou Arada, which! they captured from the Germans yesterday. Although an allied communique described the British ac tion as “a small local engagement,” it, was considered important because it gave the allies a "high vantage point from which to operate. Bou Arada is 19 miles south of Medjez-El-Bab and 40 miles southwest of Tunis in an area that may spots in the north Tuifsian | hats tle,

eral and many German soldiers at Senedl. American bombers and fighters of the 12th air force continued to dominate the air fighting in Tunisia. They bombed an airdrome at Gabes,

in the Maknassy and Ousseltia sectors and an enemy convoy between Tunisia and Sicily. Six axis planes were destroyed. Eight allied planes were missing.

" Clouds Obscure Target .

Big American Liberators from the Middle East command bombed the Sicilian ports of Messina and Palermo in daylight raids. Heavy dam-

age tanks, a power station and shipping were reported at Messina, but results of the Palermo attack could not be observed because of clouds. An Italian communique reported, however, that 16 persons were killed and 41 wounded in addition to damage to buildings at Palermo, The middle eastern command failed today to specify the position of the eighth army, which two days ago was 20 miles from the TunisianTripolitanian border.
