LUFTWAFFE AIR LOSS IS HEAVY LONDON The Luft- waffe now is losing planes, faster than at ftny i since the a of i a i and the rate probably exceeds I he production ability of hard-pressed Nazi a fac- I tones, it was believed today. What it is costing the a to cover the major air fronts western Kurope, A i a and Russia -was revealed by an analysis of reepnt Allied communiques. i i a figures from the British, United Stales and Russian commu- showed a 1,010 Nazi planes were destroyed in air combat from March 18 to April 5, without counting those destroyed on the ground which in Africa alone probably ranged 200 to 300. The breakdown showed the loss of 138 Nazi planes over and around Britain and 589 in Russia, During the Battle of Britain the top Nazi two-week loss record was 764 planes.

The Royal Air force and the U. S. air force lost 237 planes in the same period, including 08 in North Africa and 139 over Russian losses were not available in complete form but it was believed they approximate 60 per cent of the German losses, possibly 3RO planes, a i total Allied losses 597. The large Nazi losses could be a i to the vast increase i the Allied air offensive from i 1 tain plus the Tunisian campaign.

With the enactment of the city's i trailer statute in less than two years, charges against 21 Hammond trailer camp operators for violating sections of the present f-tatute will be discharge when they come up in city court April 15. Assistant City Attorney Henry Cleveland said this morning. "The city attorney's office isn't i interested in fining tbese people for violating an ordinance which will soon become antedated," Cleveland stated.

The ordinance, rushed through first and second readings, final passage and adoption by aldermen last night, will become a law following its signing by Mayor G. Bertram Smith, Council President Roy Sweitzer and its publication-probably within three weeks. One of its sections suspends all conflicting ordinance. This new ordinance has received considerable backing from trailer camp owners. It reduces the licensing fee for 10 trailer from $50 to S25 and calls for an additional fee of SI for each trailer above 10 rather than S5.

It places the duties of clearing up allegedly hazardous conditions in trailer camps here on the shoulders of the board of health. In outlining the duties of the board of health, the new ordinance states that the board must determine the fitness of a location for a camp ground and the maximum number of units for which the location may be licensed, rule on what may be reasonably be required to maintain proper sanitation, plus providing for a inspection of each camp. The board is empowered to recommend the revocation of licenses. The council may shortly lose its second member to the armed forces. Aid.

PHONE 371 HAMMOND HOUSE DEBATE ON RACKET BILL WASHINGTON (U.P.) The new congress enters the controversial field of labor legislation for the first time today with house debate on the Hobbs anti-labor-racketeering bill. The measure, according to Rep.

Sam Hobbs. Democrat. Alabama, would "smash a thriving racket whereby exhorbitant so-c a i union fees are extorted from helpless farmers before they are permitted drive their trucks to market." Opponents, led by Rep. Emmanuel Celler. a New York, complained that the bill "goes too far" and endangers "labor's fight to picket, to strike, to boycott and to bargain collectively." The bill was introduced as an aftermath of the supreme court decision reversing the conviction of members of Local 807 of the New York teamster's union.

The court held, in effect, that the collection of union fees from produce trucks was a legitimate union activity and not subject to prosecution under the federal anti-racketeering statute. The Hobbs bill would amend the anti-racketeering statute by including definitions of extortion and robbery and providing for prosecution of any action that fell within the definitions. About 4,500,000 farms in the U. S. do not have electricity.
