Florida and Arkansas antf-plosed shop laws and what some delegates charficterised as stiffening federal eontrol of labor relations. A renewal of labor's general nostrike pledge was on the” agenda and was expected. to materialize without controversy. A, F. of L. President William Green was scheduled to take up his opposition to proposed labor policies for a beaten Germany while the general convention planned proposals for a higher minimum wage, reorganization of the labor repartment and for an industrial reconversion program. The theme of A. F. of L, Secre- * tary George Meany's statement last Saturday, in which he charged that thé War Labor Board presumed to know “better than we ourselves do what is best for us,” indicated forthcoming convention criticlsm of WLB policies. Mr. Green's view of German labor's treatment after the war was disclosed last week when he spoke against forcing German workers. to rebulld shattered Europe.

WASHINGTON, Nov. 20. — Economic Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson delivered another setback today to organized labor's hopes for an immediate revision of the little steel formula to allow general increases in wages. Declaring that the nation must continue wage and price policies

that will guarantee wartime economic stability and lead to 60,000, 000 peacetime jobs, Mr, Vinson gave his official . indorsement tothe" week-end report by the President's special cost of living committee—a report generally interpreted as un-

modification of present wage poli-

cles. He hinted that any general wage increase’ would have to wait until Germany is beaten.

Living Costs Increase The cost of living committee,

man William H., Davis, said in its report to President Roosevelt that living costs had increased 29 to 30 per cent between Jan 1, 1941 and Sept. 15, 1044, but that earnings of most workers had also improved “notably” in that time, Labor, has based its demands for general wage increases on ground that living costs have gone up some 44 per cent, | Afrming the administration's de{termination to hold the line on the anti-inflation front, Mr. Vinson admitted he was “frankly disturbed to inote that, after a year of complete

slightly but perceptibly during the past six months.” The Vinson statement was taken te mean that Mr. Vinson would not recommend any general upward revision of the little steel formula, which limits pay increases to 15 per cent above the January, 1941 levels

French Race Down Rhine as Patton Pushes 4 Miles

opposite the Swiss town of Basel southeast of Mulhouse,

The extent of the German rout on the southern wing of the Western front was demonstrated by the fact that the colorful troops of the 9th Zouave regiment were storming into Belfort . itself with little trouble after qver-running its outposts of Essert and Ft. Du Mont Du Salbert.

The French press agency reported that the 1st army already-had captured “thousands” 7 of German prisoners, most of them Volkssturm units left behind by the Nazi army forces scrambling back’ through the corridor between the Vosges and the Rhine, Swiss dispatches said many German soldiers were streaming fnto

fcan troops captured the big rail junction of Benestroff and closed in on the transport center of Dieuze.

Supreme headquarters reports said the winter offensive had netted 30,000 to 35,000 German prisoners since Patton touched it off on Nov. 8. ‘ United Press Correspondent Jack Frankish reported from the 1st army front that advances of a little over a mile to.almost two miles were scored generally on the Aachen front today, ; p Hodges’ shock troops were fight ing in the northwestern, western and southern outskirts of Eschweller, biggest German-held city west of Duren. . The doughboys fought with light air support today. Steady rain and a low ceiling shackled the aerial effort, but hundreds of fleld guns poundéd ceaselessly at the German

posijions reported considerable eastbound German traffic along the

Aachen-Cologne road, Indicating that the Germans were pulling out of the Eschweiler area.

Driving up the valley from Gres-

senich, the Yanks captured Wenau, 26 miles southwest of Cologne, four southeast of Eschweller, and four northeast of the 1st army starting line last Thursday. » Oppodition “Fair” * “We are meeting only fair, not stiff, opposition today, and expect to keep moving,” a staff officer toid Frankish

The Germans were pulling back all along the 400-mile offensive front, At some points in Eastern France, their withdrawal was approaching a route with vehicles clogging roads bumper to bumper under fierce allied air attack. .

PARIS, Nov, 20 (U. P.) Gen. Dwight D. Eisenhower, pleading for increased munitions productoin, revealed yesterday that the reduction of Aachen, largest city yet captured in Germany, was delayed last month by a shorage of ammunition. The American 1st army used 300,000 rounds of 105-millimeter ammunition in a two-week period, but even that was not enough, Eisen hower said in a broadcast during the Army Hour program in the United States. bo _ “In spite of all” he said, “we continue to attack, Five thousand rounds of ammunition are being
