Leonard Levy, vice president 01 the United Retail, Wholesale and De partment Store Employes Union (CIO), said an extension of at least 21 days would be requested. •‘If we can’t get that, we’ll ask foi a week or 10 days,” he said. “If the board insists on an election within a week, we’ll comply but we'll hold it under protest.” 'This unheard of speed disregards all rules of the labor board,” Heislei

CHANGE IN POLICY
WASHINGTON. May 3.—(UP)The army and navy, in an important change of policy, have partially re moved secrecy restrictions from then future munitions needs by allowing
uhllcatlon of p-icentcre chart- of heir 1914 requirements, it was ■srned today. The charts revealed that aircraft vill account for about 36 per cent of ill war production by the end of 1914. and will be almost twice as large as the shipbuilding program. The policy change on production information both actual and anticioated—has been urged by WPB Chairman Donald M. Nelson for several months on the theory*that U. S. arms output has now reached such proportions that news of it would give the enemy anything but aid and comfort. The percentage estimates we: made by the armed forces as of March 1 and were obviously based on the theory that Germany would not be defeated in 1944, However schedules are flexible and can be n vised downward if needs are suddenly reduced. The charts showed these approx 1 mate percentages in the variou: categories of production by the end of the year: aircraft, 36: shipbuilding, 22: guns and fire control equipment. five; ammunition, seven: combat vehicles, eight: communications and electronics equipment, four: and other equipment and supplies IS. The general production pictur-' according to tin eluuts will read
a high about mid-Oct . bet, with a slight decline setting in later in the montn and continuing through the rest of the yetrr. The charts 'also showed an Interestin'' eh align in emphasis in the past year. It January, 1943. construction of Tar plants and other facilities to hiild munitions was the number one program, with shipbuilding second ami aircraft third. But by the end cf 1S»43, aircraft had outdistanced them all, ranking half again as large as shipbuilding. War plant constriction had taken its place among tne smallest programs. Charles E Wilson, chairman of the WPB aircr»ft production hoard, reported yes-.erday that 8,343 planes were delivered |n April to bring tne four month 1944 total to 30,009. Although this; figure represented a sharp' drop undbr the March record of 9.117 plares, he pointed out that greater emphasis is now being placed on heavier fgliters and bombers so that the morthb’ output in numbers for the rest t-f the year will probably not exceed last ttionth’s all-time high. Wii>on indented that last month’s production of B-29 super-fortresses showed an increase. The Maritime!Commission, In a report covering only merchant vessels, said last night that 154 ships wore put into service last month to make a total of 564 for the year.

Close to half the tonnage win dropped by daylight raiders of tlv United States Strategic Air Fore, the Eighth in Britian and the Fif teenth in Italy, whose raids for th month totaled 43,500 tons. The P A. F. bomber command based i Britian added 36,900 tons. Thus for the first time of the wa” the weight of explosives unleased ce Europe in pinpoint daylight attai 1 exceeded the tonnage dropped by th huge R. A.

U. S. Task Forces Kit Jap Bases PEARL HARBOR, May 3. (UP) Japan’s outer defenses in the (’a, ollnes, once considered a strong y tern of “unsinkable” island uirficl ! appeared today to be at the meii . of powerful U. S. naval task fore • following the disclosure of smushin, three-day sea-air attacks on t'ruh and two of its protective bases. Carrier-based planes from a hug' task force buttered the princip Carolines’ base of Truk for two day: and then joined with battleships and cruisers to bombard Ponape an : Satawan. in the eastern approaches to climax the operations in which 126 enemy planes were destroyed The crushing attack, of such magnitude that the Japanese feared th task force was “aiming at a chum < ior invasion.” was augmented by ar. other assault by South Pacific Li' erators on Mariaon and Woleai I lands, midway between Truk md tic
Palau Islands.
The air ami sea strikes on’the Ca 1 ollnes from Saturday through Monday climaxed one of the busiest periods in the brief history of the Central Pacific offensive. Land-baaed bombers hit various targets in th Carolines 102 times during April ar. ; added at least another 100 attacks nn
[ the surrounding islands, such as the
Marshalls, Nauru and the former American possession of Wake. I Adm. Chester W. Nirnitz, In an nmincing the Carolines’ raids, said no damage was incurred by the war- ^ ships which hud added to the toll ni
Japanese search pi ier. last Wednesday while returning from the Hollandia operations. American aerial loyes in the three days Were light. NimitZ said, although about 30 flight personnel
were missing.
The opening phase of the attacks all but wiped out the enemy’s aerial forces at the hn l S. fliers shot j down 60 enemy plain ■ in combat, destroyed another t>0 on the ground and the warships blasted five more in the first day. On the second day, one enemy fighter attempted to challenge tin raidei but was shot down. Toyko radio, whieh said the task foia-c eonsisted ol nr ire than 10 airc i aft earlier- and n iUleship.s, quoted Japanese •naval qumtei s that tile attack was “an effort to drive a wedge into the Japane ■ strategh line in
the Carolines sector.”
Truk, which had been tiit 37 times previously, was singled out by the Vice Admiral Marc A. Mitsehcr, commander of the task forces, as the first target for the operations. On both Saturday and Sunday, carrierbased planes swarmed over the big atoll to drop 800 tons of bombs, which the communique said caused heavy damage t" Truk’s shore facil-
I ities.
On Sunday, eai'riei-borne planes [raided Satawan in the Nomoi Island [group, 150 mile' southeast of Truk, I w hile t l niseis canu iii close to lob I high explosive shells into the island. Ponape, 436 miles east of Truk, was shelled by hatt! hips and bomb1 by i arriei pl.i is Monday in the 1 id attack of the war on that Island.
