A WEEK OF THE WAR
WAGES AND COST OF LIVING—
President Rooseevlt told his press
conference he is considering asking
Congress for more effective controls
to keep down the cost of living, in
cluding wage control. The national
situation as regards the cost of liv
ing must he kept in line, he said.
The one criterion that must be kept
in mind is what it costs the average
family to live.
The War Labor Board announced
a formula for a national wage stabil
ization policy designed to maintain
workers’ purchasing power at Janu
ary, 1941, levels. The Board said
“as a general rule workers are en
titled to 15 per cent more wages
than they had on January 1, 1941,
to meet the increases in living
costs from that date to May 1, 1942.
Workers who have received an in
crease of 15 per cent or more dur
ing that period will not be entitled
to raises except in cases where their
rates still are sub-standard and a
raise is necessary to wipe out in
equalities.”
■ ‘The WLB ordered an increase of
44 cents a day, retroactive to last
February, for 157,000 “Little Steel
workers. The union had asked $1
a day increases. The Board ruling
also provided maintenance of union
membership and a checkoff of union
dues. President Roosevelt, referring
to the Board’s “Little Steel” ruling,
said the entire national problem of
wages is relative. In production of
an article like steel an increase of
5 percent in the wages would not
force up the cost of living nearly as
much as a comparable increase, for
instance, in a canning factory that
produces food, he said.
LABOR SUPPLY —
War Manpower Chairman McNutt
reported approximately 12,500,000
persons were working in direct war
employment on July 1, compared
with 9,000,000 on April 1. He esti
mated 5,000,000 more will be added
to the industry forces during the
last six months of this year. Feder
al Works Administrator Fleming
said total U. S. employment in
creased between May and June by
I, persons to 53,300,000.
The House passed and sent to the
Senate a bill authorizing the Census
Bureau to issue birth certificates
based on its vital statistics to persons
unable to obtain them through nor
mal channels. The 54,000,000 per
sons in the country whose births are
not recorded could obtain a certifi
cate upon making a sworn applica
tion to a postmaster (or his subordi
nate), which would be forwarded to
the Bureau to be checked. After
verification of the application a birth
certificate would be issued so the
persons codld work in war produc
tion plants and receive old age pen
sion benefits.
RATIONING—
The OPA announced that East
Coast motorists in localities served
by subways, elevated or susurban
railroads would be denied supple
mentary gasoline rations unless they
can establish that such transporta
tion facilities are inadequate for
their needs. The new regulations
would apply to all motorists, includ
ing those who help form car-sharing
clubs. WPB Chairman Nelson said
after July 22, when the new ration
ing system went into effect in the
East, gasoline deliveries to stations
in the area will be based upon cou
pons taken in by each station. The
WPB announced establishment of a
“buffer zone” in 162 counties adja
cent to the western boundaries of
the East Coast ration area, in which
deliveries of gasoline to filling sta
tions will be cut by 25 per cent be
ginning July 22.
The WPB reported 2,736 trucks,
truck trailers and miscellaneous ve
hicles were released to civilians and
to holders of government exemption
permits during the week ended July
11. Since- March 9, when the ra
tioning program became effective,
almost 52,000 vehicles in all cate
gories have been released to these
two groups. The OPA authorized
local war price and rationing boards
to permit use of any reasonable
amount of sugar for home canning
providing four quarts of fruit will
be canned with each pound of sugar.
THE WAR FRONT—
A communique from Cairo, Egypt,
reported Maj. Gen. Lewis H. Brere
ton, formerly commander of the
U. S. Army Air forces in India, is
now commander of U. S. Air Force”
in the Middle East. Gen. Brereton
said American heavy bombers car
ried out 21 tactical missions in 36
days with the loss of only three U. S.
planes. The Navy announced 13
Japanese ships have been sunk or
damaged since June 3 in Aleutian
waters, and at least seven enemy
aircraft have been destroyed. The
Navy said U. S. casualties in that
theater to date are approximately 44
military and naval personnel killed,
49 wounded and one civilian em
ploee killed.
The Navy reported damage in
flicted on the enemy during the
Battle of Midway June 3 to June 6
included: approximately 4,800 Japa
nese killed or drowned as compared
to U. S. losses of 92 officers and 215
enlisted men; 20 enemy sihps of all
classifications sunk or damaged, and
an estimated 275 Japanese aircraft
destroyed. The U. S. Carrier York
town was put out of action and the
Destroyer Hammaan was torpedoed
and sunk. Caribbean defense Com
mander Andrews said “measures for
action against enemy submarines in
this area apparently are proving ef
fective” and anti-aircraft warning
systems are greatly improved in the
Panama Canal Zone. The Navy an
nounced the sinking of 20 more
United Nations merchant vessels by
enemy submarines.
FOREIGN RELATIONS—
President Roosevelt formally pro
claimed a state of war with Hun
gary, Rumania and Bulgaria, making
nationals of those countries residing
in the U. S. subject to regulations
governing other enemy aliens. The
President announced lend-lease war
aid extended by U. S. from March
11, 1941—-when the program began
—to June 30, 1942, amounted to
$5,205 million, of which the June
total was S7OB million, highest
monthly total in the 16 months of
the program. The State Department
said the U. S. has signed mutual aid
agreements with Czechoslovakia and
Norway, bringing to nine the number
of such agreements. The Depart
ment also announced the Vichy
French Government has turned down
two offers by President Roosevelt to
provide a safe haven for the French
naval units now at Alexandria,
Egypt.
ARMY AND SELECTIVE
SERVICE—
The Army Air Force’s present ac
cident rate is 68 per cent lower than
in 1930 and 10 per cent lower than
the average rate for the 10 years
between 1930 and 1040, War Secre
tary Stimson said. Mr. Stimson said
every, U. S. soldier going into a the
ater of operations will receive a
package of five grams of crystalline
sulfanilamide for wounds in addi
tion to 12 sulfanilamide tablets for
internal use. Army Air Forces Com
mander Arnold announced formation
of the Troop Carrier Command
charged with transporting by air
the fighting men and their weapons
and supplies in theaters of opera
tions.
SS Headquarters authorized local
boards to defer married men until
all available single men, including
those in war jobs, have been called
and to call men with children last.
President Roosevelt said it is unlike
ly a decision will be made any time
soon on the drafting of 18 and 19
year old youths for military service.
SS Director Hershey said local
boards may fill up to 10 per cent of
their quotas from men deferred be
cause of illiteracy but who are oth
erwise fit for military service.
NAVY AND SHIPPING—
Three new Destroyers were launch
ed at the Federal Shipbuilding and
Drydock Co., Kearney, N. J. Navy
Secretary Knox said an increasing
number of small boats, mainly fish
ing vessels, are being taken over
by the Navy, and crews are being
trained as fast as possible to aug
ment East Coast Anti-submarine Pa
trol. Maritime Commission Vice
Chairman Vickery said American
Merchant shipbuilding capacity is
now ample to meet the two-year
goal of 23,000,000 deadweight tons
—approximately 2,300 ships—set by
President Roosevelt early this year.
He said July shipbuilding figures
indicate the nation is 2,000,000 tons
ahead of schedule for 1942. Be
cause of the “tight situation” in
steel, however, the Maritime Com
mission said further plant expansion
programs must be curtailed. For this
reason the Commission cancelled its
contracts with the Higgins Corpora
tion of New Orleans calling for 200
Liberty ships.
