YFel. 27 (U.R) When the 48th legislative dav ended Saturday there was one outstanding fact about the 25th biennvd Utah legislature, and that was its conspicuous failure so ! statewide legislation. Following the trend .set by Gov. Herbert B. Maw, who delivered de-livered his budget message 1G days late4 the lawmakers have acted only on minor bills and j have refused to approve any proposals pro-posals that might case the eiti- j zens' tax burden. With only 10 legislative days; and one Sunday, left before thej session closes on Thursday, March I 11, all that remains to be derided: is major legislation, government' reorganization, "appropriations for, state agencies for the next bi.-n- i riium, welfare and adoption of a : new election law to replace the direct primary, to winch l..lhj parties have expressed opposition, j Reorganization T'nlikely j As the situation seems to be ; shaping up, it appears t!vrc is I better than an even chance that lawmakers will fail in their om J pig governmental project the s reorganization of the finance com- j sion. I The senate passed the finance ; bill yesterday and sent it to the; house, where it will repose until ! next Wednesday before action, unless the rules are suspended. If the usual procedure is fol- j lowed, the bill will receive i .-.t-j tention until the 52nd day at the earliest. Allowing only one d y for passage and submission to the governor, this leaves seven days. The governor, however, has five days in 'which to sign the bill or veto it, and if he does neither, it automatically becomes law. There seems to i.,. no doubt that he will veto it, and that j means both houses will have to j muster a two-thirds majority to! pass the bill over his veto and; this in the three remaining days. However, this reorganization ; measure is expected to meet nmn- ; opposition in the house than it did : in the senate. The situation boils down to; this if the J anti-administration leaders in the house can delay action for three days, the measure Will not become law and Maw's i present program will continue in effect for another two years. j In addition to the finance bill, the senate also has passed several other bills, including the audi-! tors, a bill to require all state departments to have their legal1 tvork done by the attorney ener- i al, the fish and game bill, and a measure repealing the governor's Emergency powers granted by .legislative action in 1933. Some of these are found to be enacted, but the Maw regime has an excellent chance of defeating the major bill. At preliminary report by the joint appropriations committee indicated their bill may not be introduced in-troduced until the latter part of next week. It also showed that appropriations appropria-tions and departmental requests greatly exceeded anticipated, revenue reve-nue estimates for the next two years.

Much of Cologne already was in ruins as result of the 1,000-plane 1,000-plane raid last May 30 and subsequent subse-quent lighter assaults. The air ministry announced early this month that 600 acres of Cologne were devastated and 256 factories factor-ies wrecked or damaged in that one night of May 30, when 3,000 tons of bombs were dropped. The Anglo - American aerial offensive now was on an around-the-clock basis. Interspersed between the main attacks on Germany were subsib-iary subsib-iary raids on the docks at Dunkirk, Dun-kirk, air fields at Cherbourg, railroad yards and the naval storage depots at Rennes and coastal shipping by light bombers and fighters that shuttled back and forth to occupied France yesterday. yes-terday. " The selection of targets made it plain that the Allies had thrown the full strength of their air arm behind the initial objective in their offensive plans for 1943 dealing smashing blows to Germany's Ger-many's submarine strength in order to clear the ocean lanes for huge convoys of supplies, men and munitions necessary for the final attack on Hitler's stronghold. German planes, meantime, continued con-tinued their feeble raids against Britain. Bombs were dropped in East Anglia last night, but only slight damage and no serious casualties were reported. Two enemy planes were shot doWn near the southeast south-east coast. FLYING (Continued from Page One) fully utilized in the war effort, or who have compelling personal reasons for changing. The same applies to employers who wish to make changes in their personnel. "However, these counties comprise com-prise one of the most critical labor shortage areas in the United States, and some controlled con-trolled hiring procedure is essential essen-tial to full utilization of the available labor supply." Mr. Mayer has had an almost constant , series of conferences with representatives of management manage-ment and labor regarding the controlled con-trolled hiring plan during recent weeks. Practically without exception, ex-ception, they agreed that some such a program is essential in this area, he said. , The final meeting was held this week with the area war man power committee, which includes five members from management and five from labor. Members of the committee are F. S. Mulock, vice president of the United States Smelting, Refining Re-fining and Mining company; J. O. Elton, vice president and gen-e gen-e r a 1 manager, International Smelting and Refining company; C. Leslie Wheeler of the firm of Mullins, Wheeler and Tempest, contractors; Clyde L.

"Industry "In-dustry is here to stay," Dr. Mof-fitt Mof-fitt declared, "Industry wants our young people, but if we don't train them, out-of-state workers will have to be brought in." He stressed the opportunity the new industries bring to the young people, who heretofore have been forced to leave the state to find employment. In a final plea he declared: "Never tofore have the legislators of- this state had a better opportunity oppor-tunity to serve the young people by providing for continuation of this school to teach the skills required re-quired by industry." Mr. Mildenhall, citing the need for skilled men, said there is a call for 60 machinists for every every qualified machinist applying. He said that when the Geneva plant is finished it will have the largest machine shop west of the Mississippi Missis-sippi to be manned by skilled people. Mr. Coleman decared that "we in this state have been 'training almost entirely for white collared jobs when of all jobs only about 10 per cent are of the white collared col-lared type . . ? "We've got to get it out of our heads that to be educated edu-cated a person has to wear a white collar when the blue collar men get jobs more easily and at better pay." He said that in the depths of the depression there was much unemployment; yet industries were advertising for skilled men which they could not get. "It would be a tragedy to have this great steel industry here to employ em-ploy local people but find ourselves our-selves with no place to train them." In response to a question by Mrs. Loveridge, Dr. Moffitt pointed point-ed to the importance the school would have in post-war in benefiting bene-fiting soldiers returned from the armed forces. All speakers paid high tribute to H. E. Johnson, manager of the school, who pioneered and made the project what it is. Currently there are 734 persons taking- training train-ing at the school, it was anounced. The bill introduced in the legislature legis-lature asks $380,000 for operation and maintenance of the school for the biennium, $275,000 for a buildr ing, and $20,000 for additional equipment. tic nun (Continued from Page One) withdrawal of certain percentages percent-ages of labor now employed in "less essential" activities. Weiner's estimate clashed with McNutt's testimony on Jan. 28 be fore the senate appropriatiorfs subcommittee investigating man power. McNutt said then: ". . . approximately 3,200,000 workers will have to be transferred transfer-red from present employment in so-called less essential industries" to meet the various military and lend-lease goals. But Weiner's memorandum said in effect that transfer of 400,000 fewer workers than McNutt envisioned en-visioned would not only reduce civilian economy close to its low-proach low-proach the point but would ap-prach ap-prach the point where slight dislocations dis-locations might threaten the war production effort. Weiner virtually refused to agree that any industry as a whole could be regarded as "less essential." es-sential." "Without cooking stoves, clothing cloth-ing and cljairs in their homes," he said, "fewer men and women will work in war plants. Without laundries laun-dries and restaurants women will not stay at war jobs. Without recreation rec-reation and medicine, war workers will not survive the exactions of war work." Hence, he suggested that McNutt Mc-Nutt completely abandon the term "essential activities" and base recruitment re-cruitment and transfer on the "minimum labor requirements" of all civilian activity.

They are handicapped by the bad air and broken facilities. Additional rescue equipment was being flown here from Butte, some 260 miles west of here, along with skilled rescue workers from the Anaconda Copper Mining Min-ing company's properties. AH available doctors and nurses were being rushed here from Billings, 60 miles north, and other surrounding towns. Emergency hospital facilities were being set up at Red Lodge, three miles from the mine. Raneck said the cause of the explosion and cavein still was undetermined, un-determined, and probably would remain unsolved until the debris was cleared and the men reached. The disaster occurred shortly after the day shift went to work this morning. Fellow workers believed be-lieved it must have been caused by an explosion, since smoke poured from air vents all day. The smell of mine gas was strong all around the mine, where nearly 500 persons, most of them the wives, sweethearts and children chil-dren of the trapped men, gathered in prayers for their safety. Many of the women and children appeared ap-peared dazed from shock. The five men found in the No. 2 seam, adjacent to the one where the men are trapped, all were overcome by gas. Cars and trucks must be kept rolling. That makes the service station man and garage man vital cogs in the nation's war machine.

"" AFRICA (Continued from Page One) (5) an offshoot drive from Tally-Ho Tally-Ho Corner in an effort 'to out ,flank Bou Arada; (6) a push by Italian and German troops against Monseur hill in the area south of Bou Arada. Field dispaches said the first attack made slight penetration into a no-man's land, the second and third were, frustrated and only in the Tally-Ho corner and Bou Arada areas did the Germans Ger-mans achieve imporant gains. If the Germans reached Beja and 'held Tally-Ho corner they would isolate the British at Med-jez-El-Bab except for one highway, high-way, but indications tonight were, that they were going to have to fight vigorously for every additional addi-tional inch. Military spokesmen said the attacks apparently had been planned plan-ned originally as a holding action ac-tion to be launched after Rommel Rom-mel broke through the allied positions po-sitions around' Thala north of Kasserine Pass. When he faileu to do this, the norhern sector push was started in hopes that the British lines there had been drained to reinforce the Thala area. The new attacks were described describ-ed as a phase of Rommel's drive for positional strength against the increasing allied threat from all sides, paricularly from the south where the British Eighth army was believed about ready for a powerful onslaught. Seizure Inevitable Although there was no official confirmation that Kasserine town had fallen, military quai)tters said its seizure by the allies was almost al-most inevitable since Rommel, his rash t'ld to break through to the north having flared back, moved back into the hills of eastern east-ern Tunisia and to the plain before be-fore Faid Pass, where he launched launch-ed his costly gamble last week. This trend indicated that Rommel Rom-mel was digging in seriously for the Eighth army's offensive. The German radio, perhaps significantly, significant-ly, said today that the Eighth army is probing for the best spot to attack the Mareth line, hich now is believed much weaker than it was before the Italian armistice armis-tice commission hauled down its guns.
