Nel-Bon Nel-Bon Saturday studied an "unfavorable "un-favorable report" on the proposed plan of Henry J. Kaiser to build 70-ton cargo planes, but WPB spokesmen said Nelson "still has an open mind on the matter." . The report was drawn up by a special committee named to investigate in-vestigate the possibility of using Kaiser's west coast shipyards to construct airfreighters to ferry materials and men to world wide war fronts. Its members were plane builders Glenn Martin, designer of the flying boat "Mars" on which Kaiser Kais-er based his plans, drover Loen-ing, Loen-ing, Donald Douglas and John Northrop. . A spokesman for Nelson said the WPB chief considers the unfavorable un-favorable report as "Just another piece of evidence," and will not reach any decision until he confers with Kaiser here next week. The report was understood to hold that Kaiser can not turn out flying boats within a reasonable length of time and would require too much critical materials. Kaiser has contended he could start production within 10 months. Nelson promised if his production plans and material estimates were approved he would be given an initial order for 500 planes.

' The 75 men reportedly quit their jotu following a contract dispute, dis-pute, most of them going to work at the Geneva steel plant. .About 95 per cent of the men walking out were members of the SWOC union at the plant. Word that the two WPB men, representing labor and management, manage-ment, respectively, would be here Tuesday was received in a telegram tele-gram Saturday by Ralph H. Peters, Pet-ers, international representative of the United Steel Workers ot America, district 39. Mr. Peters earlier had wired Washington asking that action be taken. The dispute at the pipe plant reportedly is over application of one of the clauses of the contract, the company proposing certain wage reductions under a re-rating plan. The men refused to accept the cuts. One of the things the WPB representatives will attempt to do is clear up the interpretation of the cdhtract. The company and the union place different interpretations interpreta-tions on certain clauses, it is reported. re-ported. Howard Durham, conciliator for the department of labor, was here last week, but was unable to compose the differences, according to Mr. Peters. With production at the plant vital in the" war effort, it is expected ex-pected an immediate solution to the troubles will be sought by the government representatives. Commenting on the walkout of men at the plant, Mr. Peters stated: stat-ed: "The men are tired of disputing disput-ing with the pipe company and figure the only thing to do is get jobs elsewhere. We feel as a union that it is still the object of "company officials to break up union organization at the plant." RUBBER (Continued from Page One) General Francis Biddle and Assistant As-sistant Solicitor General Oscar Cox on the legal aspects of the program. Baruch was told that the president's presi-dent's powers were sufficient to effectuate the program without new legislation by congress. Cox recently asserted that in war time the responsibility of government attorneys was tne arnrmative one of finding ways and means by .which decisions of the policy makers can be most promptly, and effectively fulfilled." President Roosevelt created the committee at the some time he vetoed a congressional measure which wuld have set up a new war agency, independent of the war production board. to control manufacture of synthetic rubber from farm and forest products. The bill, Mr. Roosevelt said, would "block the progress of the war production program and therefore the war itself." Pending the committee's report, members of the congressional farm bloc said they would postpone post-pone any effort to override thr veto. The president told the committee commit-tee that its report would "form the basis for future action not only with respect ty synthetic rubber, -but also such matters as nation-wide gas rationing and motor mo-tor transportation. The committee was understood to favor the greatest possible use of molasses and grain alcohol in rubber production but was represented repre-sented as believing that, .from a standpoint of material supply and plant costs, the petroleum method afforded a quicker and more economical eco-nomical source.

Colossal Fortifications (The Berlin radio broadcast a DNB dispatch which said that German forces are fighting against "colossal" fortifications before Stalingrad and that the number of defense positions before be-fore the city is "unbelievable." Every factory and house is a fortification which must be reduced re-duced by hand-to-hand fighting, the dispatch said, adding that, "the final battle for Stalingrad will be hard.") Attesting to the scale of fighting, fight-ing, the communique said that In the past few days one Soviet detachment de-tachment wiped out 3,000 Germans Ger-mans northwest of the city, and destroyed 19 tanks, 13 guns, 40 machine-guns, 15 mortars, 20 lorries lor-ries and two airplanes. The communique strtd that Soviet So-viet forces were holding other enpmy troops around Mozdok, 60 miles northwest of the rich Grozny Groz-ny oil fields and 140 miles from the Caspian sea and that elsewhere else-where on the great front there were no material changes. (The British radio reported late Saturday night that "German war prisoners revealed that Hitler Hit-ler gave the order to take Stalingrad Stalin-grad at any cost.") (Reports to Stockholm from Berlin quoted German military experts as predicting the bloodiest blood-iest street-fighting of the war surpassing both Kiev and Kharkov Khar-kov before the German forces can take Stalingrad. The nazi spokesman was quoted as saying Stalingrad already lies half in ruins. Its houses and buuaings wrecked by shell fire and bombs.

He is oper ating the plant and is required to teach the Japanese it is understood. under-stood. He is hoping to return home on the next trip of the "Grips-holm," "Grips-holm," in November or December, Decem-ber, the letter stated.

(Zurich reports quoted a nazi spokesman as saying German tank units have reached three suburbs su-burbs of Stalingrad, and that the fall of the city was expected with- 4n 48 hours.

(The German high command said German troops have captured many stubbornly defended fortifications forti-fications in the Stalingrad battle area and that the Soviet counterattacks counter-attacks were beaten off. Forty Russian tanks were said to have been destroyed in a "diversionary" "diversion-ary" attack north of Stalingrad.) Front reports said that the Red Army had checked the thrust of a great German air, armored force and motorized infantry attack southwest of Stalingrad in one of the bloodiest battles of the war. Tremendous German air attacks, at-tacks, it was said, failed to dislodge dis-lodge the Russians from their positions guarding the roads into the city, but the battle still was in progress and positions were changing hands from hour to hour. The Russians, it was conceded, are fighting with their backs to the Volga and with no space or further retreat. Thousands of Germans were reported re-ported to have been killed by machine ma-chine gun fire as they rushed the Soviet defenses southwest of Stalingrad Stal-ingrad time and time again in face of terrible fire. Bodies of slain German soldiers were described as heaped on the blood-soaked ground.

LABOR DAY (Continued from Page One) expected to be a baseball game at 2:30 at Timp park, with the Provo Timps meeting the Magna-Gar-field Millmen for the Industrial league second half championship. In connection with the bond-buying bond-buying program at North park, the labor group will sponsor games and races for the children, with prizes in war stamps to be awarded. The bond-buying booths at North park will be operated by personnel from the Provo post office. It is expected state labor officials will be in attendance, including in-cluding Fullmer Latter, president of the State Federation of Labor, and Stanley Duffin. president of the state CIO organization.

This makes approximately $50,000 the union has put in war bonds. SALT LiAKE CITY, Sept. 5 -An all-out war effort will replace re-place Utah's usual Labor day celebrations this year, as workers keep the wheels of war industries moving. Celebrations will be confined con-fined to scattered local events. In Salt Lake City, most retail stores, banks, city offices and state offices, as well as state liquor stores, will close during the day. However, all industries important im-portant to the war effort will continue on regular schedule. ROOSEVELT (Continued from Page One) would be stabilized, coincident with a government review lead-1 ing to adjustment of some prices to earlier levels for products now above the 110 per cent of parity permitted by the price control act. There was a growing belief that Mr. Roosevelt would not attempt to estab?.ish farm price ceilings below 110 per cent of parity without with-out congressional action. The government may offer subsidies to producers of commodities needed for the war effort in order to stimulate production. Army University Plans Ipecialid To flew Students War will give the student orientation programs at Brigham Young university this autumn a ftew character, according to Dr. Wesley P. Lloyd, Dean of Men and chairman of orientation. Preliminary Pre-liminary .plans call not only for evening programs on the registration regi-stration days, September 25, 26, and 28, but for extensive individual in-dividual personnel work as the students arrive. ' Afding Dean Lloyd on the committee com-mittee will be Dr. Gerrit de Jong, Jr., dean of the coUege of fine arts; Dr. Alonzo J. Morley, associate as-sociate professor of speech; Miss Been A. Waspe, Assistant Dean of Women; and Miss Amy Cox, instructor of music in the elementary ele-mentary training school who was vice president of the student body last year. "Needs are different in student stu-dent orientation this year," Dean Lloyd pointed out. "We must give definite aids to students in adjusting ad-justing their academic programs to the war situation. The problems prob-lems of organizing and timing their school programs in the turmoil tur-moil of the emergency must be met." Milk Shortage Developing Here Provo is faced with a milk shortage, it was reported Saturday. Satur-day. One dairy stated that "you can deliver milk only as far as it goes," and warned that undoubtedly un-doubtedly there will be customers skipped occasionally because of insufficient milk. Apparently one reason, for the shortage is that more locally-produced locally-produced milk is being shipped to Salt Lake where better prices reportedly are being paid. vW s r J?
