Show Demanded For Industry Br ANN HICKS United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 28 (U.R) A group of senators cracked the wnip over OF A again today. They demanded even more subsidies for the meat Industry. . Chairman Elmer Thomas, D., Okla of the senate food investigating investi-gating committee threatened to seek amendments to the price control extension bill if OPA does not act immediately. Thomas said he might even go after a few OPA heads. Chairman Robert F. Wagner, D., N. YM of the senate banking committee com-mittee said he probably would summon Price Administrator Chester Bowles to a special session Tuesday. Only this Monday the combined demands of the two committees brought from OPA an agreement to shell out $27,000,000 In additional addi-tional meat subsidies this year. But the senators have decided $27,000,000 i too little. They had the testimony of meat packers before Thomas' - group that they would be "worse off than before" even though OPA backed its revised subsidy program pro-gram with a promise to "make good losses legitimate packers might take during the year. The price control extension bill Is the whip which helped to induce in-duce the entire 10-point program announced by Economic Stabilizer William H. Davis Monday including in-cluding subsidy revisions and OPA's new attack on the black market. Price control is due to expire June SO. Wagner's committee has withheld the extension bill from the senate floor for more than a month. During that time the senators sena-tors have been in almost daily consultation with OPA meat executives. ex-ecutives. Sen. George L. Radcliffe, D., Md., one of the strongest concila-tors. concila-tors. said he believed the situation could be worked out in conference confer-ence and a lot of "hell-raising" avoided.

MYRLE'S DRESS SHOP 33 East Center C3 Juncture Vfogs Out West Front LONDON, April 28 QJJ9 A British spokesman said today that there no longer is a western front as a result of the Amerlcan-Eus-sian junction In Germany and that henceforth military descrip tions of the fighting will refer to "the northern and southern zones of operations.' The spokesman estimated that Germany has roughly twice as many troops, left in the southern zones south of the Junction point as in the north. He pointed out. however, that the official northern north-ern area did not include Norway, where the Germans are believed to have 12 divisions. He disagreed sharply with the statement of the captured Nazi Lt Gen. Kurt Dittmar that the so-called last redoubt in the Ba varian mountains was a "myth' invented by the Nazis. "Why should lt be a myth?" he asked a press conference. "The Germans undoubtedly have soldiers to man the redoubt and undoubtedly have sufficient sol diers to hold out for some time. "Dittmar's belief is based on the theory that the soldiers will sur render. If they do not lay down their guns, however, they will be able to defend the mountains for some time." The spokesman said Gen. George S. Patton's American Third army drive into Austria in the direction of Linz was a threat to cut the redoubt are in two and might leave the Germans with two "redoubts." one in Austria and one in Czechoslovakia.

April 28 (U.R) The United Automobile Workers (CIO) said today that the administration's ad-ministration's reciprocal trade program could be translated Into 150,000 extra postwar jobs in the automobile industry. Irving Rlchter, UAW legislative representative, gave that forecast fore-cast to the house ways and means committee when he appeared In support of a bill to extend the reciprocal trade agreement act and to authorize further cuts in tariff duties. He recalled that 1929 exports of cars and trucks amounted to 14 per cent of total production. Exports Ex-ports of automotive products averaged $406,000,000 a year from 1926 through 1930, he said, but fell to $76,000,000 in 1933. They rose again to $254,000,000 in 1940 under the reciprocal trade program. pro-gram. uur iwou exports can be as much as 15 per cent of our total production, producing jobs for 150,000 workers," Richter said. "The foreign market for cars is inexhaustible if purchasing power abroad rises." He estimated that there would be an export market for 1,600,000 cars and trucks in 1950.

War Must Be Over - - Bomb Sight Unveiled By FREDERICK C. OTTOMAN United Press Staff Correspondent WASHINGTON, April 27 (U.R) I guess the war's nearly over, all right even though the man am say " tio easy with tnat imng, u s delicate." He was talking about the Nor- den bomb sight, which six months ago was the hush-hushiest, top-drawerdest, top-drawerdest, most super-secretive thing this nation owned. Now it was sitting on a table in the senate caucus room, with a couple of hundred people staring at it and butter-fingers Othman being warned not to bust it. It is difficult to describe the Norden bomb sight. It is a black widget about two feet tall, with silvery bumps on it and two built-in built-in telescopes. It looks like it is about to bite. I barely touched it Even so, it snapped at me. The senate's small business committee ordered it up for dis play at hearings on the machine tool business, as an indication of what incredible things automatic machinery can do. John W. Shipman, engineer of the Victor Adding Machine Co., which helped build it, told how the bomb sight was accurate at altitudes to 45,000 feet. "That 8 like standing on top of the Empire State building," he said, "aiming at the point of a pin on the ground and hitting it right on the button." He then went to work on the Norden sight with a screwdriver. so senators and bystanders could see the interior ganglia: he told exactly what made it tick. I listened carefully. I jotted down one of his statements, thus: There is a two one-thous andths back-lash clearance in the rear head speed disk." That is, he added, when you take into consideration all five gears. So much for the technical side of the Norden sight and its 3,800 parts, iou ii prooabiy be more interested in the army air corps captain, with battle stars on his chest and a shooting iron on his hips, who was assigned to guard "This kind of makes me blink," he said. "Overseas we had to guard these things with our lives. VB4tw ftH cnflC!lgi)CCrir?H tDw 1 " Now look. Hey, you (he was talking to a photographer), go easy with it. Anyhow, we had to keep the sights covered at all times and when we went aloft the bombardier had to swear that he would destroy it if there was a chance of a crash. So there was a pal of mine, bombardier on a bomber. He thought he was a goner over Germany. The pilot said there was not a chance. So my friends kicked in the Norden bomb sight with his foot. Then he shot a couple of .45 slugs into it and when he d wrecked it completely, com-pletely, the pilot said he guessed he could make it back home after all. He did, too. The bombardier hauled out about 15 cents worth House Dickettes Sherlocking around a door at Chicago's Hotel Sherman is the hostelry's new house detective team-t-Mrs. Renee M.

The captain went on to say that he could not see what the small business committee's interest in-terest was in the Norden bomb sight. Of all the wonders of ihe war, he said, this one seemed to have the least possible postwar future! "Unless," he added, "You might want it on the regular airlines so that you could use it to drop off a couple of passengers, say, at St Louis, and aim the next at Cincinnati." That does it.
