LABOR MEETING SET FOR ATLANTA ATLANTA, March 13.—(5)—Maj. Gen. Frederick E. Uhl, command ing general of the Fourth Service Command, said today that repre sentatives of governors of sever Southeastern states would meet here Wednesday to seek remedies for delayed war production in this region caused, he said, by labor problems. “The major purpose of the con ference is to present to the gov ernors, through their representa tives, the facts surrounding delay in production of war goods as a result of absenteeism, labor turn over, slow-downs, lockouts, and itrik'es, to urge the governors to incourage labor to stay on the lob,” said an announcement from fourth Service Command public •elations office. Army officials said that within :he next six months industries in the Fourth Service Command area would need at least 125,000 more workers, not including replace ments for men taken from indus try by the draft. The public relations office said that “recently Army. Navy and maritime officials charged with production have been harassed with disputes between manage ment and labor such as a strike in a North Carolina tobacco fac tory, decreasing the number of cigarettes going overseas to the armed forces, and another delay ing production of double - soled socks, sorely needed by American troops in Italy.” Army officials said the Army re frained from taking sides in labor disputes, but was seeking to pre vent them and thus assure an un broken chain of supplies to the fighting fronts.

BARKLEY VISITS WITH ROOSEVELT WASHINGTON, March 13.—(JP)— Senator Barkley, Democratic lea der nf the Senate, called on Pres ident Roosevelt today for the first time since his break with the White House over the President’s tax veto, and reported a most agreeable session. Then he went up Pennsylvania Avenue to the Senate and blocked —for the time at least—consider ation of a resolution which would have given the judiciary commit lee the right to survey all Presi dentia1 executive orders “with par ticular regard to the source ol constitutional or executive author ity.” Barkley said he wanted to study it some more. The Democratic leader joined other Congressional chiefs in the regular Monday legislative con ference with the President. It was the first White House visit since hr; arose in the Senate, accused the President of a “calculated assault on the legislative integrity” pi Congress and cast off the leader ship to oppose the tax veto. Next day he was unanimously re elected. “You wouldn’t have known any thing had ever happened—if it did,” Barkley told reporters after his visit with the President today. The tax veto wasn’t mentioned at the conference. The Senate resolution Barkley blocked temporarily would have given theh judiciary committee tbe right to inquire into "direc tives, rules and regulations issu ed by or under authority of any department or independent agen cv ’—a definition broad enough to catch all executive orders. It was proposed by Senator Me Carran tD-Nev.), chairman of the com mittee. The President’s action creating some war-emergency agencies by executive order and financing them through fund transfers rather than Congressional appropriations has been attacked recently by the Se nate Appropriations Committee.

My appetite was practically gone, and I felt so nervous and wakeful that it seemed to me I heard the clock strike every hour during the. night. Mornings I would get up feeling so tired out I could hard ly drag myself into my clothes. I Suffered badly from, sluggish elimination and nothing I tried for this trouble gave me more than little temporary relief. I felt so badly rundown it sometimes seemed like I had about ■ reached the end of my row. “Retonga gave me the most wonderful relief' of any medicine I ever tried. My appetite is splin did, my food seems to give me plenty of strength, and I sleep like a top, as the saying is. I hardly know that I have any nerves now^ MRS.

It is a pleasure to tell others about a medicine that brings the grand relief that Ret onga brought to me.” Retonga is a purely herbal gas tric tonic combined with liberal quantities of Vitamin B-l and is intended to relieve distress due to Vitamin B-l deficiency, consti pation, insufficient flow of diges tive juices in the stomach, and loss of appetite.
