In view of the company’s increased earnings, the employees coming under the plan will get an extra three cents an hour for the May - through - August period of 1943; 3% cents an hour from last September through March, and four cents extra for each hour's work in April and May of this year. .

Virtually Meets Demands

The incentive plan virtually will give the employees the eight-cent an hour pay raise they had sought originally. The war labor board granted them only five cents, raisIng their pay from 85 to 90 cents an hour, but the incentive ‘plan, under present company earnings, will give them an extra three or four cents an hour.

I'll Be Dewey

By THOMAS L. STOKES # Seripps-Howard Staff Writer CHICAGO, June 22.—Well ahead of time, the Republican convention is geared up for the “draft” nomination of Governor Thomas E. Dewey of New York— dnd on the first ballot. The “stop Dewey” movement has collapsed. It never could get started despite all the efforts of the vigorous Governor John W. Bricker of Ohio, about whom it centered. Governor Bricker arrived here today to open a handsome headquarters and go through the motions which, in the end, may bring him second place on the ticket, though this is doubtful. Governor Bricker has worked hard. He has won admiration for his earnest pre-convention campaign. But he never was able to arouse any noticeable public enthu- | siasm, and the party is looking for that spark, acutely conscious that its candidate must go up against a man who possesses it in unusual degree

RUSS LAUNCH NEW ASSAULT IN NORTH

By HARRISON SALISBURY United Press Staff Correspondent MOSCOW, June 22 — Russian forces, opening a new offensive against the faltering Finnish lines, sent a three-pronged drive around the lakes north of Leningrad today —the third anniversary of the Russo-German war which already has taken a toll of more than 13,000.000 killed or captured. The Soviet information bureau, which said the Nazis were now faced “with complete rout” after three years of fighting on the eastern front, listed the German dead or captured at 7,800,000 and similar Russian losses at 5,300,000. Disclosure of the cost of men in the bloodiest battle in history came as the Russian army, following up a whirlwind drive through Viipuri, hurled strong armored forces around Lake Onega in a determined effort to clear the 223-mile enemy-held stretch of the Leningrad-Murmansk railroad.

House Naval ~ Committes Ballot Includes Spars, Women Marines. WASHINGTON, June 22 (U. PJ),

—The house naval affairs commite

tee today approved, 17 to 4, a bill to permit WAVES, SPARS and women marines to be assigned outside the continental United States. Two vice admirals testified that they were absolutely needed in some vere Seas areas, The committee, however, adopted an amendment by Rep. James W. Mott (R. Ore.) requiring that all overseas assignments, except «as Hawaii, be on a strictly voluntary basis. Vice Adm. Randall Jacobs, chief of naval personnel, testified that in any event it would be the navy’s policy to send only volunteers outside the country. The committee also accepted withe out objection, the inclusion of SPARS, women’s coast guard ree serve, in the provisions of the bill As originally introduced by Rep. Margaret C. Smith (R. Me.), the bill had applied merely to WAVES and women marines, Jacobs said Adm. Chester Nimits, Pacific fleet commander, has asked for WAVES as urgent replacements for communications personnel in Hawaii. Although no other official request has come from any other fleet commander, Jacobs said that WAVES could be used to advantage in other overseas areas.
