...establishment of regulations that all war plants must provide 40-hr.-week employment now, and later a 48-hr, week, with full payment for overtime; 2) a national wage policy which will guarantee to all war plant employes who work less than 40 hours per week through no fault of their own the equivalent of 40-hr.-per-week pay-the cost to be borne by the Government when material shortages are to blame, by the management when it is to blame; 3) release to other plants of all employes who cannot get full employment; 4) stabilization of wage rates...

...true that the story of the North African fighting was not being fully told. But it was truer that the delays were definitely not the fault of the 40-odd correspondents (most of them Americans) covering it. They have been doing their job-281,000 words were filed from Algiers in the first 13 days of the invasion-in the face of double difficulty...
