Nationwide Blackout Will Be Forced by Long Work Stoppage
Half-Ton Limit For Retail Sales; UMW Committee Gets Proposal on Monday
W«»hln»ton, Oct. SO. (UP)—Fed¬ eral authorities took atep* tonlBht t« conacrve the natlon'a dwindling coal aupply In anticipation of the fourth general coal mine worlt atop- page of 1B43. which apparently will atart at midnight Sunday.
Solid Fuela Adminiitrator Harold L. Icltes banned anthracite dellv- eriea to any domeitic cuatomer with more than 10 days' luppiy on hand and limited retail aalea to half a ton.
The War Production Board waa prepared to inititute a nationwide blackout in event of a prolonged itoppagc. Nearly 100,000 bltuminouH miners in eight states already were out. and government officials esti¬ mated that 100,00 tons of iron and steel have been lost liecauss of wild-cat walkouts.
It    appeared    almost    Inevitable that  the   miners  would  not  work after  midnight   Sunday. Ip to John I. Lewis
The question of how long that stoppage will continue seemingly was up to the 200-mKn policy com¬ mittee of the United Mine Work¬ ers, which meets here Monday, and tn UMW President John L. Lewis, whose recommendations almoat in¬ variably ara adopted by the oem- mlttec.
Responding to a auggestion tn the President's latter, the board noti¬ fied officials of the UMW and the
Brazilian Plane Sinks Nazi Sub
Rio de Janeiro. Oct. SO. (UP)— In a running air-surface battle 80 miles east of Rio de Janeiro, a Brazilian coastal patrol plane today sank a CJerman submarine, the official news outlet, Agenda Naclonal,  announced.
The submarine, which attempt¬ ed to fight off the plane with Its deck guns, was hit with five depth charges and sent to the bottom near Cabo Frio, a pro¬ montory east of Rio de Janeiro. A BrazlllRii sergeant was wound¬ ed In the encounter.
Agenda Naclonal 'aaid the plane surprised the undersea raider on the surface, near Cabo Frio.

Nearly 100.000 bituminous miners in eight states already were out. Government officials declnrcd 100.- 000 tons of iron and steel already had been lost because of thesp wildcat walkouts, and prepared plans to impose a blackout in event of a  prolonged  stoppage.
President Roosevelt has prom¬ ised "to take decisive action to see that coal Is mined" In event the policy committee rejects the wage settlement formula proposed by the War Labor Board and tells the UMW'a 530.000 miner-members to stay away from the pits.
Recent history appeared to be repeating itself. Just as it did last spring, the situation was de¬ veloping into a showdown between Mr. Roosevelt and the War Labor Board on the one hand and the bettle-browcd mine workers' chief¬ tain on the other, leader la Slleat

Washington, Oct. SO. (UP)—The War Food Administration sought tonight to avert a threatened flood of hogs and cattle to market that might swamp processing facilities and result In waste of large quan¬ tities of meat.
War Food Administrator Marvin Jones warned hog growers that if they market ItAgs faster than pack¬ ing planta can process them the government may not be able to guarantee the support price of $13.75 per hundred pounds, Chicago basis.
Both hogs and cattle have been reaching market recently in greatly- increR.sed numbers. Shortages of feed supplies and governnient em¬ phasis on marketing at lighter weights are expected to accentuate | that flow during November and December. No Ration Increase
Although the supply of meat available for civilians is expected to increase aharply during the win¬ ter, ration allowances probably will not be increased—unless storage facilities overflow—because the WFA hopes to build up a reserve supply in anticipation of smaller mnrketlnga of livestock late In 1944.
Tlie 127.000.000 head of hog pro¬ duced on farm.t this year are ex¬ pected to result in an increa.se of at least 25 to 30 per cent in KlauRhter- Ing durinK the next thico or four months, compared wit.i the same period a ycnr ago. But pai^king plants have 10 to 15 per cent fewer employees to handle slauKhterinK than they had last winter, the WFA said. .Must Have Buyer

Expects Senate to Back House Rejection of Big Tax Proposals
Washington Oct. SO (UP)—Chair¬ man Walter F. George (D..Ga.> of the Senate finance committee, pre¬ dicted tonight that his group will support the House ways and means committee's rejection of adminis¬ tration requests for $10,500,000,000 in new taxes, and demanded gov¬ ernmental economies to save at Iea.st $5,000,000,000.
Meanwhile, the House committee reappraised Its decisions concern¬ ing $2,068,000,000 worth of new ex¬ cise taxes, and decided it had been too harsh in Increasing the tax on distilled spirits to $10 a gallon. It lowered this flgure to $• per gallon, an Increase of $2 over the present levy. Cigar, Jewelry Taxes Raised
On the other side of the ledger, however, it voted to double the present tax on cigars, added an¬ other five per cent to the Jewelry tax, and upped the taxes on domes¬ tic telegraph, radio and cable charges, electric light bulba and pari-mutuel wagers.
George said he was convinced that a minimum of $5,000,000,000 and perhaps as much as $10,000.- 000,000, could be saved annually by elimination of government "waate and  extravagance."
"If government heads would stop assuming that simply because there is a war on all they have to do Is call for more and more money, we'd t>e better off." he added. Expects Senate Support

"It is going to be a tough, rui{- gcd. hardy life for ground crew« und fliers," he said, "but similar to what they are going to get when they  move  to forward  airdromes."
He said that Marauder medium bombers in the European theater already have been transferred to the tactical force and that their recent operations have been under this command. Tlie fighter com¬ mand, he said, may be equipped with new types never before u.sed in  this theater.

London. Oct. SO (UP)—British Whirlwind and Tj'phoon fighter- bombers attack the docks at Cher¬ bourg today while Boston medium bombers hit the nearby Maupertus airfield, the air minstry announced tonight. Spitfire fighters escorted the homber.i and nil planes return¬ ed from the operation.
(The Berlin radio, in a broadcast reported by the OWI, said that Relchsmar.shall Hermann Coering had completed a three-week inspec¬ tion tour of Luftwaffe units in south and west Germany and in part of the occupied territories and had "convinced himself personally of the state of air defenses, of the readiness for action of day and night fighter formations, of the striking power of anti-aircraft bat¬ teries and the state of training of replacements.")
Around 8 p. m. tonight London had an air raid alert, but the all clear ftounded less than an hour later. Rescue workers were digging for several person.^ trapped by the explosion of one bomb in London.
Bombs also fell In srveral places in southeast England snd one Oer- man attacking plane was believed to have been destro}'ed.
Washington, Oct. 80. (UP)—Sen. Ralph O. Brewster (R..Me.) to¬ night renewed congressional de- Imands for inquiry into petroleum supply problems, lend-lease opera¬ tions and postwar aviation rights, and warned foreign interests not to interfere.
Brewster waa one of five sena¬ tors who toured .world battiefronts this summer and made to the Sen¬ ate a formal report which aroused British  censure.
Brewster did not specifically mention British reaction to the senators' reports, but he declared that "America has a right and duty to consider problems of its own civilian personnel and policies without outside interference and this will become Increasingly ap¬ parent aa time goes on." Wanta Plana en FlekU
Brewster Insisted that the United States must act now to assure postwar access, particularly for commercial aviation, to aviation bases being built around the world with American money and per¬ sonnel.
Of petroleum, he said known U.S. reserves at present consumption rates will last only 12 to 15 years whereas British reserves, at present consumption, will la.sl 100 years. Despite this, he said, the United States Is supplying 80 per cent of the petroleum for Allied mechanized warfare, against eight per cent sup¬ plied from British sources.
"In addition" he said, "the largest supply from any country outside the United States comes from a country bordering on the Caribbean. where 80 per cent of the reserves are owned by an American corpora¬ tion.
"A 30 per cent increa.se in pro¬ duction is contemplated for this area this coming year while prac¬ tically no increase in production Is contemplated for the grest British reserves In the Persian Gulf."

Allied Headquai'tei's, Al¬ giers. Oct. 30. (UP)—Slash¬ ing forward from three to five miles, Allied troops have captured MondraRone, onlj- 88 mile.-* from Rome, dislodging; the Tyrrhenian anchor of the new German line in Ital.v, and have outflanked the Nazi stronghold on Mt. Massico a few miles inland, dispatclies reported today.
The whole western segment
of the Germans' "Little Rommel Line" thus appeared imperilled as Lt. Gen. Mark W. Clark's British and American troops of the Fifth Army smashed across the Regis canal in the Vollurno Valley and captured five additional towns.
(The United Nations radio at Algiers, heard by the U.S. foreign broadcast Intelligence system, said Fifth Army engineers had thrown a number of bridges over the canal and that Allied troops, pro- greasing beyond the canal, had re¬ duced the (German salient at ItJ southernmost point at Cancello.) Naal Point Exposed
Three villages, Calvia Riaorta, Assana and San Felice, were oc¬ cupied In the course of a three mile drive by Yankee troops north of Sparanise, which left Mt. Mas- sico dangling as an exposed al¬ though strongly defended enemy salient  In  the Allied   line.
(While official sources said the (Sermans were expected to wage a determined defense of the Mt. Masaico line. Merrill Mueller of NBC repartrd from Allied head¬ quarters that the enemy had be¬ gun flooding the Pontine marshes SO miles below Rome to make them non-negotiable   for  Allied  tanks.)
A headquarters spokesman said there were two ways to take Mt. Massico—by completing Its en¬ circlement or by launching a direct attack toward the 2,500-foot crest. Big Ouns in Range
Farther Inland on the Fifth Army front, American troops scored the greatest new advance by capturing Pietravlrano In a five-mile drive north of Rocca- romana. A spokesman said the Importance of this gain was "dif¬ ficult to overestimate" since It gave the Allies a wide artillery range of enemy movements to the west. Pielrcmaiara, two miles west of Roccaromnna,  also  fell,
British troops who drove Into Mondragone found the town de¬ serted, the Germans having evl- jdently just evacuated after driv- {ing out the civiliana ahead of them. As the British entered, the |(jermans hurled down a drum¬ fire of shells from Mt. Massico on the town and. as an officer said, "We were looking up the ridge and wishing to God It wasn't there." Blinding Rain Storm
The new advances were carried out despite a blinding rain storm, now in Its fourth day, which ex¬ tended across the 90-mIIe front to the British Eighth Army sector where Gen. Sir B. L. Montgomery's
Drive on Rabaul May Force Jap Navy out to Fight
WashiiiKton, Oct. 30. (UP)—The gradual Allied ad¬ vance toward Rabaul, Japan's ke.v ba.se in the southwest Pacific, Koon may force the Japanese fleet to come out of hiding: and fight, military observers said tonight.
So far, the enemy ha.s depended on its air force to stem the Allied push through the Solomons in the direc¬ tion of Rabaul, on New Britain Island. But Japanese air power in the southwest Pacific has been dealt a series of telling blows.
Forces operating under Admiral \Mlliam F. Halsey jr. are within easy striking distance of Bougainville Island, last remaining center of Japanese resistance in the Solomons.
Occupation of Mono Island in the Treasury group, only 30 miles from the southern tip of Bougainville, and landings on nearby Choiseul Island, provide excellent springboards for the more critical phases of the Allied stab at Rabaul.
Military observers believe that if Bougainville falls into Allied hands, the position of Rabaul will lie virtually hopeless. Japanese-built airfields on Bougainville are within short flying distance of Rabaul, Unce in .\llied posses.sion, these fields would permit fighter escort for bomber operations against the big enemy base.
The entire Japanese defense line in the southwest Pacific hinges on Rabaul, so military experts believe the enemy will make a full-scale effort to hold it. In addition to being a heavily-fortified and strongly de¬ fended position, Rabaul is important as a supply center.
Split Japanese Forces On Choiseul Island

Allied Headquarters, Southweat PacHIc, Sunday. Oct. SI. (UP)— American parachute troops fight¬ ing as Infantrymen on Choiseul Island and American and New Zealand forces in the Treasury Islands of the northern Solomons are pressing the enemy back, while Allied aircraft light off enemy alt raids on shipping and ground po- sittona In the Treasury Islands, a communique reported today.
Choiseul Island forces were con¬ solidating positions, Gen. Douglas MacArthur's Sunday communique said, while on Mono Island In the Treasury group Allied troops were forcing the Japanese to withdraw toward Malsl village, on Lua Point at the northwestern end of Mono Island.
Reports from South Pacific head¬ quarters said a spokesman for Ad¬ miral William F. Halsey stated there were Indications the para¬ troopers on CHioiseul Island may soon be engaged by the Japanese In the Sangigal area. The troops went ashore on the southeastern coast of the island. Foreea Spilt

Within the bend, Soviet forces smashed southward from Dniepro- petrovsk and took the county seat of Shchorsk, killing a tM^ttallon—at full strength about 1,000 men—of Germans and knocking out nine German tanks and a pair of the Nazis' vaunted self-propelled guns, Russian communiques broadcast by Moscow said.
Some of the war's bitterest fight¬ ing was in progress at Krivoi Rog. where the Germans apparently were offering their most stubborn resistance to prevent (Jen. Ivan 8.

NEW YORK CIO PLEDGES FOURTH TERM SUPPORT
Buffalo, Oct. 30. (UP)—The New York state CIO convention today pledged unqualified support for the re-election of President Roosevelt for a  fourth  term.
Of the 755 delegates to the union's annual convention only eight voted against the resolution, which stated "we Individually and collectively pledge to President Roosevelt our unswerving support in the fulfill¬ ment of the great tasks that lie before us." The CIO claims more than 1,500,000 members in the state.
The action followed an appeal by Sidney Hillman. president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers and chairman of the CIO political action committee, for organization of a "permanent political arm" of labor to wrest control of Congress from a "combination of die-hard Republicans and anti-Roosevelt Democrats."
