TOKYO, April 18 (UP) The
Tokyo government warned Japan's 70
million people last night to prepare for
"further attacks" by Allied forces
which, it said, have brought the Is
land empire into the war zone with
the destructive bombing of Tokyo, Yo
kohama, and two other large cities.
Earlier Japanese radio broadcasts
said the attacks were carried out by
high-flying United States planes which
swept in from "several directions" and
started fires among the flimsy, wood
and paper homes in four heavily popu
lated cities.
WASHINGTON, April 18 (UP)
The reported bombing of Tokyo and
three other important Japanese in
dustrial centers elated the capital to
night but at the same time aroused
speculation over the possible retalia
tion by enemy planes on our East and
West coasts.
WASHINGTON, April 18 (UP)

control in a sweeping move to assure

Davis, Main Cog in WLB,
To Speak on Production
Paul Komisaruk
War Labor Board chief,-William H. Davis, the 62-year-old patent lawyer
who solved the Allis-Chalmers strike in 22 hours after OPM and the Labor
Department muffed the job for two-and-a-half months, delivers the CPU's
second address aimed at an analysis of the battle of production on Thursday
night in Memorial hall.
Davis speech, expected to throw some light on the recent activities of the
War Labor Board, was made possible mainly through the efforts of Dr.
O Frank Graham, who serves on the
Board with him, Ridley Whitaker,
CPU chairman revealed yesterday.
Considered as much a "character"
in Washington circles as last week's
speaker, Price - Administrator Leon
Henderson, Davis known for his bag
gy clothes, "his mussed up shock of
muddy-gray hair, his glasses which
he whirls rapidly around his forefin
ger, as he talks and his face of an
overtrained trombone player" has be
come the calm in the center of the
capitol's cyclone.
The nearest representative in the
President's private cabinet to any
sort of a "labor representative," Dav
is has yet to prove he's "tough enough
for the job." With the new War Labor
Board possessing full power to estab
lish its own rules, Davis, together
with his fellow board members may
"write their own ticket," may become
the heroes or the stopgaps of the
productive effort.
Observer John Chamberlain reports
that Davis "has it in him, to be a
hero." He declares that this "sham-
blinsr. salty, rumpled charming, and

calmly exposes their minds."
