UMW RAPS PLAN From Page One will fall far short of the 1944 war goals unless Congress approves the "draft labor" plan. The mine workers' criticism the Service Act proposal places all of of the big unions in opposition to the President's recommendation. Previously the AFL, CIO and Railroad Brotherhoods had condemned enactment of a service act. Both labor Congressional leaders have predicted rejection of any compulsory draft of men and women workers by Congress. In an editorial in its January 15 (issue, Lewis' publication stated: "The draft of men or women to work in a plant operated for the profit of the individual or stock holders, of more, such nothing plant less.

is man on horseback may be just around the corner. You can almost hear the click of his heels and see the spin of the spurs." The Journal asserted that the "duty of defeating a National Service Act" rests upon "the banker, the farmer, the white-collar workers, ditchdigger and the laborer much as it does the members of trade unions." "If enacted into law, it means the end of free enterprise and collective bargaining in the United States," the publication said. The Journal declared that Mr. Roosevelt's enumeration of. new social and economic of Rights" and request for National service legislation in the same message "run counter-head-on." Morever, the publication pointed out, the President used 16 words to support his tax proposal, 17 on curtailment of profits; 30 for a food-cost law, and 20 words in his appeal for reenactment of the stabilization statute.

"But on the National Service Act, the President waxed eloquently he used 783 words to press for the enactment of a National Service Act out of his total message of 4000 words he is in a hurry for the National Service Act, but he fails to demand haste as regards taxes, profits, food costs and the Stabilization Act." The Journal declared that business and industry should be alert to the consequences "of the conscription and regimentation of labor." TROOP, PASSENGER From Page One momentum skidded his train into the rear of the passenger. The dead all were occupants of a wooden chair car, the fifth from the end of the passenger train. The wooden coach was crushed between steel cars in front and behind it. Fifty-seven of the injured, including 40 white soldiers, were taken to the Camp Barkeley station hospital, 10 other injured were in Memorial Hospital at Coleman, two at the infirmary at Coleman Flying Field and the others in Abilene hospitals. None of the injured soldiers was seriously hurt, but some of the civilians were in a critical condition.

The wreck occurred 150 miles southwest of Dallas on a branch line of the Santa Fe between Temple, Texas, and Clovis, N. M. All Santa Fe telegraph lines to Novice were down because of the weather conditions and the only communications with the scene of the wreck was a single telephone line. A. P.

Clements, Santa Fe district superintendent, and E. E. Baker, a claims agent, set up headquarters at a nearby ranch to investigate the wreck. 48 Strike; Mill Closes International News Service PITTSBURGH, Jan. 14.

The giant 80-inch hot mill, through which passes all production of Carnegie-Illinois Steel Corporation's great Irvin works, was shut down today as the strike of 48 scarfers went into its sixth day. The mill, which turns out 4500 tons of ship plates and other material daily, is the first cog of the production line-up to go down as the result of the strike for incentive pay adjustments. The hot mill employs 258 men. FASCIST GENERAL IS KILLED International News Service LONDON, Jan. Gen.

Dominico Mittica, member of the puppet Fascist tribunal which condemned former Italian Foreign MinEster Count Galeazzo Ciano to death, was killed in an automobile crash, he German overseas news agency eported today, Slavs Forced to Abandon Capital LONDON, Jan. Partisans have been forced to abandon Jajce, their provisional capital, and the Germans now are threatening to break through and envelop large units of Marshal Josip Brozovich's army, official sources reported today. The Partisans were reported moving up reinforcements to counter the increased German pressure, particularly intense on the snow-covered Bosnian fields northwest of Banja Luka. After pulling out of Jajce, northwest of Sarajevo, partisan units struck north to join the forces battling the Germans between Banja Luka and Prijedor, where the fighting was unusually bitter. Other German forces were reported attacking Partisan positions on a wide front in Slovenia, and "grim fighting" was in progress in Herzegovina, where the enemy pressure had increased.

A train was derailed on the Zabreg-Belgrade line near Brod, and the engine and 30 cars were destroyed. About 70 Germans were killed or captured, and considerable material captured.

United States Seventh Air Force bombers in three more raids on the Marshall Islands, sank or damaged three Japanese ships and damaged two enemy fighter planes. The bombers caught a small enemy convoy at Maleolap Lagoon Tuesday, sinking a small auxiliary vessel, heavily bombing and possibly sinking a medium-sized cargo vessel and damaging a destroyer, a communique from Admiral Chester W. Nimitz said. Two of six intercepting Japanese planes were damaged and all the American planes returned safely. AMERICAN AIRMEN From Page One assault with a repeat raid on the Centocelle airdrome and on the two Ciampino fields, nine miles south of Rome.

Returning, bomber crews. reported that their explosives ripped up the Guidonia and Centocelle runways, making them at least temporarily useless, and spread destruction through operational buildings and barracks at all four fields. Nazi Shipping Pounded The concerted attack, a headquarters spokesman said, was "a heavy blow at the heart of the Luftwaffe's fighter strength in American Liberator bombers struck 80 miles north of Rome at another major German airfield in Perugia, but heavy weather prevented accurate observation of the results. Other raiding forces crossed the Adriatic to bomb enemy shipping in the Yugoslav port of Sibenik. Fighter bombers also were active in support of the slowly-advancing Allied ground troops in the mountains of central Italy 70-odd miles below Rome.

Allied airmen battered in force at the Formia docks 011 th Gulf of Gaeta, bombed and strafed German troops and hit the Isola railway yards. Five Allied planes were lost in the day's widespread operations, against 10 enemy planes destroyed in aerial combat. As the aerial offensive was carried out, the Allied 5th Army fought through the German defense lines barring the way to Cassino and the Via Casilina, the inland invasion road to Rome. American troops, roughly within three miles of Cassino on both sides of the Rome road, beat back a savage German attempt to recapture Cervaro and pushed their forward lines closer to Cassino. The main American effort appeared to be concentrated against Mt.

Trocchio, the last natural held by the Nazis on the south flank of Cassino. Simultaneously, French troops attacking through the mountains north and northeast of Cassino drove the Germans from three important heights and advanced as (much as two miles into the enemy flank. On the 8th Army's Adriatic front, New Zealand and British troops improved their positions north of Ortona and sent patrols stabbing deep into the enemy lines, "gaining valuable information and capturing prisoners," the communique said. An official announcement said the 5th and 8th Armies, since the beginning of the Italian campaign last September 3, have captured 8000 German prisoners.
