STEAKS MAY GO OFT RATION UST WASHINGTON, Aug. 2 (XJP)—Authoritative sources disclosed today that steaks and roasts fear itllity grades of beef will be made ation free beginning Aug 13, bat hat hams and pork loins will be reamed to the ration list. These sources said that by Sept. 1 iteaks and roasts from the better Kimmercial grades of beef also wUl ie made point free. Removal of the utility and comnercia! grades of beef from the ralon list would make point free virually all steaks and roasts now ivailable to consumers inasmuch a--he two remaining grades that still vould be rationed—choice and good rades—rarely reach retail butcher hops. Nearly all of the supply of the alter two grades goes either to the nilitary or to restaurants and hotels.

WATCH CORPORATIONS WASHINGTON, D. C. Aug. 2 — HP)- The joint committee thinks ongress should cast a more watchul eye on government corporations The committee says govemmerA orporations have grown so powerful hat they rival government itself, vnd the committee further says that he government corporations put irivate business under serious disidvantage. The recommendation for closer :ontrol by congress comes in a comnittee report which follows nearly wo years of study. Senator Harry Jyrd of Virginia is ch»irmsr. of the ommittee. The report says that government orporations have jump -d from 10 to '4 in the 12-year-pieriod ending June !0th, 1943. Back in 1933 the government had >2,700,000,000 invested in corporaions now it has $14,800,000,000 in
•■hem.
The report points out that federal •orporations have practically unimited government credit at low ates of interest. Sometimes they lo not have to pay federal, slutmd local taxes- except on real esate. Government corporations alo enjoy the privilege of free iSail md other concessions similar to hose given regular federal agencies. The report says, "add to these the irestige of a government agency, md business meets an invincible ompetitor.” Complete abolition of government ■orporations is not recommended. Jut the committee does name feaures it finds objectionable. One of he things it objects to "is that the orporations have not been succesiful on a profit and loss basis. Jn 1943 they were operating at a loss >f near $103,000,000. The committee recommends mompt establishment of public control by having the corporations submit annual business-type budgets to he budget bureau and then to conpress for approval.

troops and Gestapo members remain in the city, the headquarters said. The city is silent, as in a calm before a storm whose clouds of battle and thunder become more intense eacli hour. The Poles reported that the Russians have not yet shelled the city, although artillery fire is heard
in the capital.
Before departing, German civilians sacked the city and hauled away their loot, including valuable furniture and art objects'from the Royal Palace of Lazienki and Belvedere Palace, both state-owned institutions, underground headquarters

Contact between underground ■forces and the onrushing Soviet Army has already been made. About 25,000 Poles met the Russians in the district of Kielce, about ninety miles southwest of Warsaw, when the Soviets crossed the Vistula river.

ed for 10 a. m.
In this three-state swing the young New Yorker has outlined the substance of his campaign strategy. It is to avoid any challenge to the conduct of the war and possibly to minimize foreign relations, but to denounce the Roosevelt administration's domestic policies as a combination of bungling and shortsighted-
expediency.

U. S. MARINES "MOPPING UP” ISLAND JAPS TINIAN RESIST A \< E ALMOST AT END: MAKE PROGRESS
ON GUAM -
PEARL HARBOR, Aug. 2. (UP) Marines wiped out isolated nests
of Japanese troops today on Tinian Island where a nine-day lightning campaign had ended all organized resistance while Americans on Guam smashed northward three miles to close a death trap on enemy forces.
The Second and Fourth Marine
Divisions conquerors of Saipan, crushed a counter-attack which cost tile enemy 300 dead and overwhelmed the last Japanese positions on the southern tip of Tinian Monday night. Adm. Chester VV. Nimitz’s latest communique revealed. Nimitz said the marines, who established a beachhead on the island July 23, still
had some mopping up to do. The island fell after the defenders
had been battered by some of the heaviest aerial and naval bombardments of the Pacific war, as well as
by a new, secret assault weapon. On Guam a campaign similar to
that carried out on Tinian was in progress, with marines and army troops, having cut across the island, swinging north to compress the defenders into u pocket surrounded on three sides by a sea under complete
control of American warships. With Orote peninsula ami the
southern half of the island cleared of the enemy, the Americans advanced three miles on the right flank and center of the line, and about one-half mile on the left flank, taking the towns of Utana, Pado, Pulan and Maite. The line now extends from the west coast at a point about one

Ling and political spellbinder of experience, heads the America First ticket. Dewey compared Smith to Adolf Hitler In his race prejudices and denounced him for a "sinister effort to smear” Bricker, who also answered Smith in bitter language. ‘‘The act of Smith in associating my name with his on a spurious ticket, wthout nptice of any kind whatsoever is the cheapest demagoguery. I denounce it and shall not have my name used in any such connection,* Bricker said on his arrival in St.

than one mile south ot Fadian Point. AKana, capital of the island, was termed a "ghost town” by John R. Henry in a front line dispatch for the combined allied press. Its buildings and homes were fire-blackened ruins, wrecked by bombs and shells, and the marines entered it virtually un-
opposed.
The correspondent said civilians! apparently were evacuated by the j Japanese before the American bombardment. The town was deserted as the marines moved in. A deathly stillness prevailed among the ruins, except for occasional bursts of snip-
er fire.
In their advance northward the Americans are breaking out on a flat plateau, which rises gradually front elevations of about 100 feet lo the 600-foot cliffs along the northern coast. The flat, brush-covered terrain, broken only by 870-foot Mt. Santa Rosa on the east coast, should provide the Americans with the best fighting ground they have yet encountered. The Japanese were not expected to make a stand until the Americans reach the hill country beyond the plateau. How stiff a resistance they can put up could not be foreseen, but 6,000 dead, a sizeable proportion of the garrison, already have beer,
counted.
Preparatory to this final fighting, carrier aircraft continued to potur bombs and rockets into enemy troop concentrations on northern Guam. Nimitz reported. In none of three communiques reporting the fall of Tinian and the progress of fighting on Guam did Nimitz mention Rota, another island in the southern Marianas, where
