counter-attack, which began Saturday at Yuyankwan, 40 miles southRsk of Ichang, turned into a broad, co-ordinated offensive on all fronts by Sunday. : . Advancing past Yuyankwan to Changyang, 15 miles south of Ichang, the Chinese troops routed the five divisions, hemmed them into a large circle, retook four villages just over the river from Ichang and blocked a headlong retreat by the Japanese 3d and 13th divisions. “Chinese forces continued mopping up operations as the enemy was still surrounded,” a communilque Baid. Many Killed The Japanese left big quantities of supplies and many dead in the mountainous area as they retreated, the Chinese communique said. Allied bombers escorted by Chi-nese-manned pursuits dropped 10 tons of bombs on the Japanese airfield at Ichang. Besides destroying “many” enemy planes on the ground, the pursuits shot down three Japanese interceptors and probably three more, while the bombers accounted for at least 20 and probably 25. Not an allied plane was lost. The enemy push, Chinese military experts said, had been aimed at the main forts along the Yangtze which are considered the first line of defense to Chungking, the wartime capital 295 airline. miles west of Ichang. (Tokyo radio said the Japanese continued their advances up the Yangtze river gorges west of Ichang and said three Chinese divisions had beén | “annihilated” at one point and several towns captured the last week.)

IN SALARY JAM

Treasury Expected to Get Ruling. on Approval of

Raise . Proposals.

By FRED W. PERKINS Times Special Writer WASHINGTON, June 1. — The treasury is missing the chance of collecting higher income taxes from thousands of salaried men because for almost two months it has not been able to get specific instructions from the director of economic stabilization on how their proposed pay increases can be approved. A break in a big log jam of cases of this kind, piling up steadily in the salary stabilization unit of the internal revenue bureau, was promised yesterday as the result of conferences between heads of that

|agency and Fred M. Vinson, who

succeeds Justice James F. Byrnes as director of economic stabilization while Mr. Byrnes takes on the bigger job of director of war mobilization. The unofficial promise is that the jam should be over by the end of this week. " Ruling Expected

The expectation is that the internal revenue bureau will be authorized to approve salary increases for individuals in cases that do not involve an obvious inflationary angle.and that follow the past practice of the particular business in paying more for greater responsibilities. A similar stymie’ affecting wage earners has just been solved by the national war labor board, after threshing the question out with the high command on economic stabilization. The NWLB’s regional boards and industry commissions have been given authority to deal with pay boosts which affect individuals or a relatively few persons, in line with customary practices

ALGIERS, June 1 (U. P). — A temporary breakdown in negotiations between Gens. Henri JH. Giraud and Charles de Gaulle delayed their efforts today to form a body to govern the French empire until liberation of the mother coun-

Further meetings of the French executive committee were suspended here until certain points of disagreement can be ironed out. Gen. Georges Catroux, whose untiring efforts over: a period of months resulted in De Gaulle coming to Algiers from London, went to work at’ once to bring together again the two men whose ideas on a post-war French regime differ widely although their objective—a free France—is the same. Stormy debates marked yesterday’s two sessions, but the preliminary organization was agreed upon. : Principal points at issue were believed to be: 1. The identity of the two re-

Complaints Deluge Bureau

This particular muddle is one of the troubles the government got into when it tackled the new function of holding down incomes as part of the effort (also involving control of prices) to avert the danger of a dollar coming to look like 30 cents or less. In the case of salaries above $5000 a year, and of employees not covered by union contracts (province of NWLB), employers have been deluging the internal revenue bureau with complaints that: 1. Foremen and other supervisory employees in many cases are being paid less than the rank and file. 2. War conditions, bringing about the promotion of executives, also prevent higher salaries for them. 3. Minor executives, who formerly worked five days a week under union contracts and were promoted,

REDOUBLE HATRED,

DUGE TELLS ITALIANS

By UNITED PRESS

The Italian people, seeing refugees being evacuated from the war zones - because of the allied bombings, should redouble their hatred of British and Americans, Benito Mus« solini told a group of evacuees, ace cording to the British radio today. The British radio said Mussolini shouted in the middle of a speech to refugees: “May your appearance help to re« vive the hatred of the Italian people for the allies. Let it persuade those: who still believe in the generosity of the English and Americans that such illusions are criminal and treason to the cause of Italy.”
