WALK-OUT ENDED CHICAGO, No. 27 (UP)-The 17-day-old walk-out on the Chicago, North Shore & Milwaukee and the Chicago, Aurora & Elgin railroads, which affected 75,000 ir nmut rs, ended today with resumption of service by 600 •triking workers who sought a nino-ccnt hourly wage increase. A settlement, made yesterday
between representatives of two lines, Robert L. Glenn, railway consultant for the war labor board, and the two striking unions, grants a f.ve-eent hourly wage boost which was ordered previously by a Presidential emergency panel but rejected by
union members.
Glenn said “the controversy was settled in the interest of the war effort. The management and labor extended full cooperation.”

SUPERFORTS POUND {Continued From 1‘itxre One* age” was caused to “non-mili-tary facilities.” The Japanese Dome! ag’ency said that the raiders began arriving over Tokyo and the 1 surrounding area shortly after 1 .p. m. (midnight EWT) and were 1 intercepted in aerial combat by Japanese fighters, j Tokyo made no immediate 'claim that any of the Superfort- ! resses had been shot down. Two [ , were lost in Friday’s attack, jbut the 12-man crew of one was j rescued by a destroyer 140 miles | north of Saipan after spending i 19'a hours on two life rafts. J A subsequent Japanese imperj ial headquarters communique 'said only about 40 Superfortres- | >es participat’ d in the hour-long raid on Tokyo “and its envir- | ons". Damage was "slight and none was caused to important facilities," the communique said, j Another communique claimed that long-range Japanese planes set fire to several B-29s in an attack on the Superfortresses base at Saipan last night. The Japanese radio did not I mention the attack on Bangkok, . which lies at the head of the 1 Gulf of Siam and is an import|ant supply port for op 1 : rations !in South China and Burma, j It was the first time that the 120th Bomber Command has attacked Thailand, though previously it had raided Manchuria, Sumatra, Singapore, and Formosa in addition to the Japanese home land of Kyushu. The Tokyo raid underlined warnings of Gen. H. H. Arnold, command’er of the 20th Air Force, and Harmon, deputy commander, that the Superfortresses were embarked on an all-out offensive designed to soften Japan for invasion and would hit thy capital with increasing frequency and weight wih each succeeding month. Harmon told the United Press' that facilities for handling the | huge B-29s at Saipan, 1,5501 miles southeast of Tokyo, would 1 be yxpanded considerably, enabl- j ing the 21st Bomber Command j to operate on a larger scale I than the 20th Command in China and India.

News Is Good As To Clothes
WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 — OPA today promises more cuts in the price of clothing and more • w-oriccd garments on dealers’ Pelves. The new, tw.n assault on inflated clothing prices will be followed, Price Administration Chester Bowles said, by clamping down on the price ceilings of garment makers and tightening price rules governing retail stores. As the whole program takes effect, “any increases in the cost-of-living Index in the coming months will stop completely” Bowles predicted. The OPA thus evidently pinned on the textile and garment trade its entire hope of carrying out the injunction of Economic Stabilization Director Fred M. Vinson, who asserted that a small but ‘ disturbing” climb in l.ving costs "must stop,” Vinson’s instructions were construed as a tip-off to an administration decision not to drop the "Little Steel” pay formula before Germany's collapse, but to give labor unions assurance that

WLB HOLDS TIGHT WASHINGTON, Nov. 27 — • UP)—The administration’s apparent determination to permit no general wage increases until the war in Europe is over was further understood today by the war labor board’s refusal to break the Little Steel Formula in setting tlu? wage case of the CIO steel workers. In a weekend decision disposing of the year-old dispute, the WLB rejected a union demand for a general wage increase of 17 cents an hour—which would have broken the Little Steel Formula but granted hourly increases of four cents to second night shift workers and six cents to third shift workers. WLB chairman William H. Davis said the board’s report, far from breaking the Little Steel Formula, “does not even bend” it. The decision acceded in full or in part to other union demands for more liberal vaca-
