Show PAGE TWO PfrOVO (UTAH) SUNDAY HERALD SUNDAY, FEBRUARY 14, -1943V NE WORKERS DEFEND DEMAND WASHINGTON, Feb. 13 (UE The United Mine Workers ' of America tonight defended as economically sound their demand for a 2-a-day wage increase for 4$0,OOO bituminous miners, drafted draft-ed in avowed disregard for the little steel wage ceiling formula. ; iJfce UMWs challenge to the administration's economic stabilization stabili-zation program was set forth in an editorial in the Feb. 15 issue of the United Mine Workers' Journal. 1 It appeared to dissipate any hope that the union would reduce its demand as a result of Stabilization Stabili-zation Director James F. Byrnes' flat declaration that the little steel formula would not be broken except In cases of obvious inequities. in-equities. The miners could not receive re-ceive any raise in their wage rate under that formula. Accusing some editors and "certain "cer-tain Washington bureaucrats" of prejudice against the miners, the editorial said "we are just about fed up with this constant damning of the American coal miner." Strike is widely feared in event the UMW and mine operators oper-ators cannot come to terms soon after they start formal negotiations negotia-tions March 14. Solid Fuels Co-ordinaor Co-ordinaor Harold L. Ickes has asked that they meet not later than Feb. 22. The Appalachian joint conference confer-ence negotiating committee, representing rep-resenting operators, recommended to the UMW today that negotiations negotia-tions begin Feb. 22 in compliance with that request. The UMW has HOt yet acted on the matter. Attacks Absenteeism Meanwhile, President Philip Murray of the Congress of Industrial In-dustrial Organizations, which last week pledged the support of its 5,000,000 members to the administration's admin-istration's stabilization program, advocated steps to cut absenteeism absentee-ism in industry "to a minimum." Woman Fatally Hounded by Gun AMERICAN FORK Mrs. LaVern Bahr Carter, 39, wife of Archie Carter of American Fork, was fatally wounded when a 30-.30 30-.30 rifle discharged as she was cleaning a closet in her home at 9:55 a. m.

' I- ; ' ' " ' .' ROOSEVELT (Continued from Page One) panded to global significance by subsequent discussions among United Nations leaders. The Casablanca meeting, Mr. Roosevelt said, produced plenty of news "and it will be bad news for the Germans and Italians and the Japanese." The president's revelation of powerful offensives being mounted against Japan brought cheer to China, whose armies and peoples have been resisting the Japanese for nearly six years. "Great and decisive actions against the Japanese will be taken to drive the invader from the soil of China." Mr. Roosevelt said. "Important actions will be taken in the skies over China and over Japan itself. ' There are manv roads which lead right to Tokvo. We shall ne'ect none of them." The president and other guests, high government officials and members of the American Society of Newspaper Editors, paid for their own dinners $7.50 each since proceeds of the function went to the National Foundation for Infantile Paralvsis, a cause cloe- to Mr. Roosevelt's heart. , The diners wore business suits and partook of a plain meal of bean soup, boiled flounder, roast chicken with potatoes and peas. ercen salad and fir pudding. There was no coffee, sugar or but ter. The president's snofcli was a companion to Churchill's report to the house of commons earlier in the week, and it breathed the samo spirit of aressive optimism. It was not without its somber note, however. The president adved the American people parents, wives. sweethearts to prepare them selves for heavv American casual ties in the battle of Tunisia. "We must face that fact now," he said, 'with the same calm courage is our men are facing it on the battlefield itself." Observers saw the promise of more aid to China in the presi dent's declaration that "our policy toward on Japanese enemies is precisely the same as our policy toward our Nai enemies; it is a rioljrir of fightinn: hard on all fronts and ending th" war as auicklv as we can on the uncom promising terms of unconditional su render." Th1 president's remarks about Quislings or . Lavals apparently was intended to silence critics who h!vp been asserting: that the North African government still harbor? men who were associated in the Vichy regime with the pro- German Pierre Laval. Room Dedicated By Girl Scouts Climaxing weeks of preparation, the Friendly Neighbor Girl Scout Troop No. 1 has dedicated its own room at the Community church. The ceremony was opened by Mrs. Eva Brannon, leader, who explained ex-plained the name, "The Watch Tower" as being the center or homo of all the troop's activities and interests. Mrs. Pierce T. Norton' reviewed the life of the founder of the Girl Scout movement, Juliette Lowe. Remarks commending the troop's achievement were made by Mrs. Ben E. Lingenfelter, representing the Girl Scout council, and Rev. E. F. Irwin of the Community church. Troop 2 under the leadership of Mrs. Oscar A. Spear is completing complet-ing its valentine tray favors for the Utah Valley hospital. All anniversaries an-niversaries are observed in this fashion. r.ic nun (Continued from Page One) always recognize the responsibility responsibili-ty . of ' procuring men with the "least possible disturbance to our agricultural and industrial production pro-duction and the essential public services." "The need of men," he said, "has now reached one point where we must be sure that no registrant regis-trant is deferred if he is engaged in a work which can be suspended or which can be done by an overage over-age man, one physically less fit, or by a woman."

A spokesman at Allied head-auarters head-auarters in North Africa revealed that German forces supported by tanks made an exceedingly strong attack in the Ousseltia valley, northwest of Kairouan, Wednesday Wednes-day night. But British forces which had reinforced that thinly-manned thinly-manned French lines, were ready for them and hurled them. back. Accounts of the battle were meager and there was no indication indica-tion of losses suffered by either side. Replace With Italians Patrol skirmishes picked up markedly all along the Tunisian front as a cold, hard wind dried muddy and snow-covered areas sufficiently to provide footing for light forces. Native Spahl cavalrymen attached to the French Colonial army distin guished themselves by capturing 53 Italians in two forays on- the Pont Du Fahs-Robba, west of the Ousseltia valley.
