American Invaders Of New Guinea Alerl Against Air Attacks •r th» AtsocUted Pr»s». ADVANCED ALLIED HEAD QUARTERS, New Guinea, May 5.—American invaders of Dutch New Guinea were on the alert today against expected counter blows by Japan’s well-trained navy flyers. As headquarters announced two amphibious landings which pushed the Yanks as far as 40 miles west of Hollandia. a spokesman sounded a precautionary note. He said there were indications the Japanese are throwing their naval aviation strength—their best pilots are re puted to be navy flyers—into North west New Guinea sectors guarding the approaches toward the Philip pines. (Aneta, Netherlands news agency, said in a New Guinea dispatch that Japanese air bases were being reinforced at Geel vink Bay, which is more than 200 miles from Hollandia, and on the Halmahera Islands, to the south of Mindanao.! Jap Air Activity Sporadic. So far, only sporadic enemy air activity has been reported in the Hollandia-Aitape sector, where American invasion forces have cap tured five airdromes within bombing range of the Philippines and killed more than 800 Japanese. A single night-raiding Japanese bomber caused light casualties at Hollandia earlier this week. Today headquarters disclosed that a week ago a small amphibious group of the United States 8th Army landed at Demta, a village 40 miles up the coast from Hollandia and 16 miles beyond the previous westernmost holding of the Amer icans at Tanahmerah Bay. Another amphibious force landed the same day at Torare Bay, 12 miles west of Hollandia. That is between Tanahmerah and Humboldt Bays, the points where big Invasion forces opened the swiftly concluded pincers drive into Dutch New Guinea April 22. The two new landings, so lightly LOST.

Special Senate Group To Study High Rates On Foreign News Bt the Associated Press. Condemning discrimination In rates now confronting American wire services and newspapers in channeling foreign news to this ■country, Senator Wheeler, Demo crat, of Montana has named a spe cial Senate group to study the in ternational communications set-up. He said he was "in complete ac cord" with the statement of Kent Cooper, executive director of the Associated Press, “that freedom of world communications will go a long way toward eliminating mis understandings and perhaps pre vent wars,” and he asserted that present discriminatory practices are not leading to a free interchange of news and opinions. Says Evidence Is Ample. “There is ample evidence,” Sen ator Wheeler said, “both before the war and during it and wholly apart from the controls of censorship, that vital information has been suppressed or ‘buried’ in foreign communication centers and that our newsmen have been unable to get their stories to their papers in this country.” He said he could not “look with equanimity on the situation in which the American press has found itself, having to pay several times the rate per word for foreign cor respondence charged to foreign press associations and newspapers.” “A temporary correction has been worked out in the case of news to and from Australia,” Senator Wheeler continued, “but even here a difference still exists in favor of the (British) Empire press. Discrimination Called “Fantastic.” “There is no logic in the fact that American press associations or news papers must pay more per word for a story filed to Australia, or from Australia, than does a Canadian or British press association, particu larly when the story travels the same distance and frequently over the saifle circuit. “The discrimination on rates on commercial messages remains fan tastic,” Senator Wheeler added, ex pressing the view that a merger of international communications sys tems might be advantageous. Senator Wheeler, as chairman of the Interstate Commerce Commit tee, named Senators White, Repub lican, of Maine; Hill, Democrat, of Alabama; McFarland, Democrat, of Arizona, and Austin, Republican, of Vermont, to work with him on the special subcommittee. The group will soon begin a series of confer ences with Government and indus try experts preliminary to later pub lic hearings. London to Pay 1r500 Heirs Of Water System Founder By the Associated Press. LONDON, May 5.—Each of the 1.500 heirs of Peter Morice, the man who gave London its first mechan ical water supply in 1583, soon w-ill receive a 1944 check for $10 from the Metropolitan Water Department. For the water-wheel system Morice built during Queen Elizabeth’s reign, London promised to pay him and his heirs and executors $15,000 a year for 500 years. The wheel system was scrapped more than 150 years ago when the old London Bridge was razed, but the city keeps its word and appar ently intends to continue the pay ments until the year 2083. Argentina Orders News Supplied for Broadcast By the Associated Press. BUENOS AIRES.

The decree annuls a previous order by which radio stations were re quired to subscribe to the service of ANDS, officially sponsored Argen tine news agency. The new decree said the best interests of the coun try required dissemination of in formation to radio stations by the subsecretariat. “Tall Aches From Little Toe Corns Grow/” But E - Z applica tions and the corns were tone.

LONDON, May 5.—An Ameri can announcement of the devel opment of battle equipment su perior or equal to the enemy’s and a German claim of “a hidden host of unknown preparations” behind Hitler’s European west wall added today to the Invasion war of nerves. "If you want to call those secret weapons, you can,” declared Brig. Gen. Henry Sayler, chief ordnance officer of the United States Army in the European theater, in revealing something of American arms im provements. The German claim came direct from the pen of Hitler’s ace propa gandist, Propaganda Minister Paul Joseph Goebbels. His article in this week’s edition of the German maga zine "Das Reich,” broadcast by the Berlin radio, said "there exist in numerable defense measures and weapons so far unknown.” Higher Explosive Charges. Gen. Sayler said American troops invading Europe will have “the finest artillery, small arms with per formance better than anything the enemy has used and ammunition with higher explosive charges.” Writing yesterday in the Army newspaper Stars and Stripes, Gen. Sayler said his report was “no pep talk to boost morale” and added: “When the day of the forthcom ing operations arrives, every Amer ican soldier taking part may be assured his weapons, ammunition, tanks and vehicles will be superior, or at least equal, to those of the enemy. * * * Some ordnance will be used for the first time after being developed and tested thoroughly at proving grounds in America.” Admitting the Germans had some superior weapons early in the war, the general declared improvements to those now available for the Yanks “combine the best features of our weapons and those captured from the enemy.” King Visits Headquarters. In a simultaneous report. Col. Joel Holmes, deputy ordnance chief, said: “Enemy weapons are good, but they still haven’t anything to match the American M-l rifle, carbine, light and medium tanks, 105-mm. howitzer, 155-mm. Long Tom artil lery piece, aerial artillery, the ba zooka and the 50-caliber Browning machine gun.” Other developments in the In vasion picture yesterday included a visit by King George to “secret RAF invasion headquarters” of the 2d Tactical Air Force, commanded by Air Marshal Sir Arthur Coningham, and an announcement by the Neth erlands news agency Aneta that the Germans had declared the entire North Sea province of Zeeland in Holland “forbidden territory.” Harold Bell Wright Ranch Sold for $45,000 By the Associated Preta. SAN DIEGO. Calif., May 5.— Sale of the Harold Bell Wright ranch, known as Quiet Hills Farm,” near suburban Escondido, to Her man R. Wiseman, San Diego air craft executive, was announced yes terday by William O. Cotton, who handled the transaction. The con- j sideration was reported to be ap proximately $45,000. Mr. W'griht, Western novelist who : most publicized book is “Shepherd 1 of the Hills," plans to move to San Diego. President Asks Closer Lease-Lend.Check as Senate Takes Up Bill By the AssocUter" Press. The Senate took up the lease-lend extension bill today with what amounted to an assurance from President Roosevelt that the ad ministration intends to tighten its bookkeeping on the program. Along with a report that lease lend and other forms of American expenditures abroad, including Army and Navy spending, had reached $30, 362,687,362 as of April 1, the Senate Appropriations Committee made public a letter in which the Presi dent ordered the establishment of a central clearing house to keep tract of overseas outlays of various Gov ernment agencies. Mr. Roosevelt ordered the ac counting agency set up in the For eign Economic Administration head ed by Leo T. Crowley, and said it would develop “comprehensive and consistent reports on foreign trans actions, so essential to the planning and operations of our Government in the future.” Investigators Praise Step. Applauding this step. Appropria tions Committee investigators said in their report they had been unable in six months of work to compile complete and accurate figures on United States aid and reverse lease lend, partly because of the lack of a central reporting agency. “It is strongly recommended,” the report said, “that the clearing house begin to function without delay, so that at the earliest possible date complete and detailed reports may be made to the Appropriations Com mittee and to the Senate on a quar terly basis.” Although Senator Bridges. Repub lican, of New Hampshire said the re port was compiled by committee in vestigators without consultation with the committee itself, and that "it’s their report, not ours,” the lease lend extension measure was ex pected to encounter comparatively little opposition in the Senate. Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio said he saw “no serious objection” to the bill as it passed the House re cently, 324 to 21, but that he thought Congress might well consider a pro hibition against the use of lease-lend funds for overseas projects of a post war character. Taft Cites Example. Senator Taft said that, for ex ample, *‘I don’t want to see expendi tures made on pipelines for after war purposes.” The House wrote into the bill an amendment prohibiting the Presi dent from making any final postwar lease-lend settlements with other nations that would commit the United States to any postwar eco nomic or military policy, or any policy involving international rela tions. Of the total listed overseas ex penditures covering lease-lend and other forms of war and related aid, the report showed the British Em pire received $19,700,297,674; Russia, $4,214,921,449; Latin America, $2, 327,378,789; China, $920,349,451, and all other;, $3,199,739,999. Lease-lend outlays accounted for $21,794,237,819 of the total, and re verse lease-lend was listed as total ing $2,129,151,000, principally from Great Britain. Reverse lease-lend from Russia was shown as $1,000,000. Thomas B. Collier Dies; Noted Memphis Tax Lawyer By the Xisociattd Press. MEMPHIS, Tenn., May 5.— Thomas B.

PHILADELPHIA. May 5. —The American delegation to the Inter national Labor Organization Con ference proposed today creation of an ILO committee of labor experts which could be used by the United Nations when labor provisions are up for debate at the final writing of the peace treaty. One of the major points of con tention here has been the degree to which ILO can participate In writ ing the treaty. By ILO’s constitution, its acts are not binding on the member gov ernments until they have been rati fied by the national legislative bodies. It also can pass proposals here in different categories; either conventions to be ratified or recom mendations which merely act as a sort of “guiding principle" to home governments. Sought Guiding Principles. I Several government and employ ers’ delegates have wished to seek only guiding principles here, while the workers’ delegates have sought not only to get measures for ratifi cation but also to find some way whereby workers will have a direct word in the peace. The American proposal would ob tain for the workers this last ob jective. It says in part: “The governing body (ILO) should appoint a con sultative committee on labor pro visions in the peace settlement.” American experts here have said that the United States is especially interested here in getting a world agreement for raising labor stand ards for two reasons: 1. Rising labor standards in back ward countries would bring rising labor costs, which would permit American manufacturers to sell on the foreign markets at less of a disadvantage. 2. Rising incomes in backward countries would make it possible to expand American markets and ap proach the "expanding international trade,” in favor of which many American experts have spoken and SELL YOUR CAR BUY TOUR CAR TRADE YOUR CAR RNER One of Woeftlngton'i Largest Dealeri 1781 FLORIDA AVL N.W.

RE. 6262 written m necessary in the postwar world to bring permanent peace. The American delegation moved successfully today to strengthen a proposal to eliminate discrimination j against workers “for reasons of race, color, confession, or tribal associa tion.” The original phrase in the pro posal had read: "For reasons of race or confession.” Jamnadas Mehta, the Indian workers’ delegate, tried, but failed to broaden the proposal, saying dis crimination took place not only in employment, but in education and health measures. “Hundreds of thousands of my peoeple are unable to rise in the industrial system because of dis crimination in education,” he said. The Panamanian delegation was voted down on an amendment to get ILO approval for demanding equal pay for equal work for native work ers as against imported labor. Miss Perkins Hits Control. Secretary of Labor Perkins, ex pressing concern “about the loss of liberty involved in wage stabiliza tion,” told the conference yesterday she “would caution against" perma nent Government control of wages or prices. “I believe collective bargaining is the beat method of fixing wages above the minimum,” Miss Perkins said in a statement “I would cau tion against a move to make sta bilization of wages a permanent Government activity, or to make price controls similarly permanent.” Congress in Brief By the Associated Press.
