WLB Acts To Hold Wage Line Both Up, Down WASHINGTON, May 11. —<<5V WLB today braced lta "hold the line” policy against any wage •hinkage during reconversion, while OPA fitted It* price lid to Items . about to return to the market. As part of the government’s gra dually-unfolding “war phase two” policy, the War Labor board yester day announced its wage program for the months of adjustment from a two-continent war to a one-front engagement. It calls for maintain ing present high levels with adjust ments to be achieved through col lective bargaining. Today, Price Administrator Ches ter Bowles will disclose his plan at an 11:30 am. (EWT) news con ference for pricing commodities which war forced to the side lines to make room for munitions. Meanwhile, a proposal by Sena tor Taft (R-Ohio) that congress lift wage controls and ease price restrictions next January 1 met democratic objections that it Is too early to consider such steps. In outlining WLB’s wage pro gram, Chairman George W. Taylor emphasized to a news conference that the board's task is to avert a decline as well as a rise In wages. FAY SCHEDULES Most of the tough work In re vising pay schedules for plants shifting entirely or partially to civ ilian goods production, he said, will rest on employers and unions. The WLB “has put Its chips on collective bargaining to do the job,” •aid Taylor. Employers will fix the schedules where there is no union to help, he said, adding that these schedules may be put into effect Immediately but must be submitted for board approval as early as possible. If the board changes the sched ules they will not be made retroac tive. This policy, Taylor said, should eliminate any delays in getting work started as a result of uncer tainty over retroactivity. “A comprehensive program for wage and price stabilization will be necessary until final victory over Japan,” the WLB said in a unani mous statement on its reconversion policy. u.s Starts On Page One of many months and In coordina tion with the British, Russians and French a "coordinated program to impose a stem military govern ment over all of Germany and to carry out the policies agreed upon at Yalta.” It did not, however, of ficially define the area of Ameri can occupation. The creation of the intelligence section was a sample of this deci sion for stem control. Each of the 12 divisions will share responsibility in purging all public agencies and industries of Nazis, but the overall intelligence section, "answerable directly to General Clay, will maintain general super vision over the entire denazification program,” the department said.; Then it added: "This intelligence section will also maintain surveilance over all Ger man agencies and provide assur ance that activities by Nazi under ground, ‘Werewolves’ and the like will be ruthlessly suppressed.” CONTROL SPEECH Also directly under Clay will be two other sections, public informa tion and public relations. The for mer section, said the department, ] "will control all forms of public ex- ■ pression in Germany, including newspapers, radio, magazines and . other publications and motion pic tures.” It likewise "will deal with , the dissolution of the propaganda ministry of the notorious Goebbels and the establishment of an unbias ed and truthful press and radio system.” OWI Director Elmer Davis yesterday announced that all foreign publications, films and 1 business enterprises will be ban- i ned from Germany. Public relations will be concern- 1 ed with issuing communiques, ac- 1 meditation of correspondents and * press censorship. Regarding the f latter, the department said: 11 "Censorship in the American zone will be solely on the basis of mill- < tary security. : DEMOBILIZAION < The demobilization of German i1 armed forces and disarmament will ' be attended to by three military di- 1 visions—army, naval and air. 1 ‘Tremendous tasks lie ahead of the economic division, which will 4 deal with such problems as food, 1 agriculture and forestry, and fuel i and mining, price control and ra- J Honing,” the department declared, r An internal affairs and com- v muni cations division will include s among other duties supervision of s public safety and control of civil t po^-e forces. This unit, said the an- t nouncement, "will concern itself with elimination of the dreaded sec- t ret poJlce." t Pork liver often contains double c or more the iron cf calf liver. | £ PHONE 788 - SHELBY, N.

EXECUTIVES Starts On Page One from his hotel and prayed. But now he feels like shouting. INTERNATIONAL VIEWS Mr. Bony in the interview he gave to the Star was not the least evasive about answering questions. He says he feels Japan will surren der before she is beaten. "I like the smell in here,” said Mr. Rony, as he caught whiffs of Ink, paste and warm linotype ma chines. “I was in this business once and some day I hope to get back into it.” He was in charge of propaganda films for the French government at the start of World War II. He taught at the Institute of arts in Peter and Paul university in Leningrad and pro duced several motion pictures. He is also an author and has written a book which has just been pub lished, “This Too Shall Pass Away.” His wife and two children, Pe ter, who was born in a bomb shel ter in Paris, and Olga, who was born in California, live in Holly wood, Calif. It was through them that this message received here today was relayed. NATURALIZED George Rony has always regard ed himself as a future American and now his naturalization has about been completed. Ever since he was old enough to read he was fired with the ardent desire to go to America. At first it was to be an Indian then he changed his al legiance to cowboys. Finally with more mature understanding, he came to this country as the land of his dreams and began imme diately to make himself an Ameri can citizen. He is a Methodist. He regards Stalin, whose real name is Joseph Djougash vici, as one of the greatest statesmen of the era. Mr. Rony is familiar with Stalin’s back ground and knows about his being expelled from a theo logical seminary for radical thinking. At tonight’s lecture he proposes a take on all comers who have my questions. He was one of the ew people in America who believ 'd that Japan would attack this :ountry. On November 13, 1941, le predicted that within a month hat attack would be made. It vas made on December 7. SIXTH Starts On Page One nents: Japanese casualties through Vednesday total 38,857 killed, an ncrease of 2,322 in two days’ ighting. American casualties hrough Monday were 16,425, ini luding 2,684 dead, in ground fight ng. Sixty-nine Japanese were killed n Iwo Jima in the week of April 9-May 5 and 57 captured for to al casualties there of 23,244 killed nd 1,038 captured. Iwo was in aded Feb. 19 and secured March 6. •ARING RESCUE A light naval force evacuated 94 Marshallese natives from Ja iit atoll in the Marshall islands i a daring rescue effected while apanese counterattacked with mchine guns and other light weapons. The natives, who pre umably had slipped out a mes enger with word they wanted to e freed, were taken to U. S.-con rolled Marshall islands. Under clearing skies, Japanese ircraft resumed their attacks on merica’s Okinawa forces late Wednesday and early yesterday, amaging two fleet auxiliaries, ix attackers were destroyed. ORDERED AWAY FROM SCHOOL William Green was given a two months suspended sentence, taxed with the costs and ordered to re main away from Jefferson school this morning in Cleveland Record er’s court after he was adjudged guilty of assault and using profane language at the school. He is said to have engaged in an argument with Principal L. A. Waters over the disciplining of a child who was his relative. Walter Washington alias Walter Hamrick, negro, was bound over to Superior court under $300 bond on a charge of the larceny of a pock etbook containing $170 from Aaron Johnson, also a negro. Johnson said that he spent Wednesday night with Washing ton, sleeping in the same bed with him. He said that before he went to sleep he examined his pocket book which was in his shirt pocket. He said that when he awoke the next morning both Washington and the purse were gone. Washington was returned here by Sheriff J. Raymond Cline from Jonesville, S. C. He had not reach ed home when he was picked up by the officer but they found neith er the purse nor any of the stolen money on him. Willy Worthy, a negro, who had a half-gallon of non-tax-paid whiskey camouflaged beneath a garden fence post, was ordered to pay the costs and was given a two months suspended sentence. J. D. Campbell, Jr. Graduated From GM John D. Campbell, jr., was gra duated April 28 from Georgia Mili tary academy, College Park, Ga., with the rating of second lieuten ant and was awarded the Golden Eagle. The Golden Eagle is pres ented to students who make the college honor roll every month. He had previously enlisted in the army air corps and is now awaiting call to service. He is the older son of Mr. and Mrs. J. D. Campbell of Cleveland i Springs estates who attended the I graduation exercises. They were accompanied home by a class mate of Mr. Campbell, jr., Henry Dowdy, of High Point. 2,000-PLANE Starts On Page One waffe was not only a campaign against a powerful enemy force, but a race against time. It had to be done in time to permit the land invasion during favorable summer weather of 1944. “Then early in 1944 long-range j fighters which had been continu ously in development came into i the air battle of Germany in suf ficient numbers to win for us in this period of our greatest crisis. The effect of all this was manifest on -D-Day, when the Luftwaffe did not seriously contest the in vasion.” In order to destroy the German air force, Doolittle said, “we de-1 liberately intended to precipitate large-scale air battles.” One of the highlights in the his tory of the Eighth air force was1 its campaign against German oil, production, which Doolittle de scribed as “a continuing contest between bombardiers and German reconstruction battalions.” 21 ATTACKS “Unless the Germans were will ing to end all resistance, they could not afford to stop repairing and rebuilding plants which made resistance possible,” the comman der said. “At Leuna, west of Leipzig, the enemy’s largest synthetic oil plant had to be attacked 18 times by the Eighth and three times by the RAF. It was the most heavily defended single industrial plant in all Germany. Each attacking bomber was the target of at least 437 88 mm. and larger rapid-fire heavy anti-aircraft and artillery cannon. A smokescreen 30 miles In perimeter covered the area.” He said the bombers halted all production there five times, but each time the Germans applied thousands of repair men to the job of putting it back into partial pro duction. “The manager of the Leuna yorks told one of our intelligence LITTLE MAN Starts On Page One the Dumbarton Oaks plan would assign little authority— should have the right to ap prove or reject any security council action. This is bluntly opposed by the big powers. 3. A Cuban proposition that the security council be enlarged from 11 member na tions, provided under Dumbar ton Oaks, to 14 or 15, was de bated in the committee on the council yesterday but a decis ion was delayed pending fur ther study. The same general issue of the council’s powers was tied into the behind-the-scenes dispute over re gional security arrangements which has split the United States dele gation down the middle. Senator Vandenberg (R-Mich) promised the regional arrange j ments committee last night that ! an American plan would be drawn I up as soon as possible. On the other big conference is ! sue—how to govern the ex-enemy territories of both world wars — the Big-Five powers appeared to be steadily approaching an agree ment. Russia and China yesterday submitted trusteeship plans. These, like that of the United States, would provide for creating strate gic trusteeships over Pacific is lands and other places having mil itary importance. Russia was reported to have tossed a potentially explosive pro position into the committee on trusteeships last night. This would commit the United Nations to the principle that colonial peoples should be assured of eventual in dependence—which could become a hot point of debate for empire nations. American officials had hoped to avoid discussion of colonial ques tions here and to limit the whole problem of dependencies to that of setting up machinery for con trolling former enemy territories. The conference committees which only this week had buckled down to work on amendments to the Dumbarton Oaks plan are working swdftly over the 22 changes sub mitted jointly by the United States, Britain, China and Russia. One adopted yesterday fixed ad visory qualifications for nations to be elected by a general assembly of all United Nations to the se curity council. RECORD Starts On Page One R. T. LeGrand responded for the ladies. Candy kisses were dis tributed to each lady guest, then there was a quiz program for ten master prizes. Each lady guest was given a set of nice kitchen towels. There was group sing ing, three selections by a local stringed orchestra known as the Carolina Ramblers and two solo numbers by Mrs. Robert Gidney, with Mrs. H. S. Plaster as accom panist. Table and dining room decora tions were most attractive and were arranged by Mrs. D. W. Royster, Mrs. George Carpenter, Mrs. Harvey Bond and Mrs. Lee Weathers. Memorial Service At Elizabeth Baptist A memorial service will be held at the Elizabeth Baptist church Sun day, May 13, beginning with Sun day School at 9:45 o’clock and at 11 o’clock the Rev. D. Boyd Cannon, pastor of the church, will deliver a special memorial sermon. The service will not be an all day affair and dinner will not be serv ed on the grounds, and it is re quested that all who attend the service not to bring lunches. Revival At Second Baptist A Success The revival conducted by the Rev. E. F. Sullivan of Hickory that was held at the Second Baptist church from April 22 through May 6, was both delightful and successful. Dr. William A. Ayers, pastor of the church, baptized 33 new converts last Sunday night and brought the tota’. to 48 members added to the church since April 1. officers that in addition to the 11, 300 people employed in operating the plant, 4,000 men were assigned for the repair of bomb dam age."

The war crimes commission has headquarters here and has 16 members. Russia is not one of them. The commission has the power only to make recommenda tions which must be submitted to the governments of the members for approval. CAMP EVILS It was established definitely that the commission regards as war criminals all those who decreed, directed or participated in the po licies which resulted in planned undernourishment, slave labor, con centration camps and organized prostitution. Out of this strong feeling pres umably was born the plan advanc ed at San Francisco by Samuel Roseman, presidential advisor, to permit the trial of organizations accused of atrocities, as well as the major war criminals. The adoption of this procedure would, for example, permit the blanket trial of the Gestapo — a voluntary organization with a membership of approximately 200, 000. If the organization itself were found guilty, then the next step would be to determine whether an individual was a member and sub ject to a blanket penalty—thus eli minating the tremendous task of trying each person separately.
