VP The CIO executive board today urged "equitable wage adjustments" for the United Mine workers, and then asserted their President John L. Lewis Jeopardized their "just demands" by "exploiting the Injustices in the mining industry In furtherance of his personal and politi cal vendetta against the President of the United States, our commander-in-chief." The actions were contained in two resolutions adopted unanimously at closing sessions of the board's special wartime policy meeting.

"The CIO must condemn tne actions of John L. Lewis and any others who reject established procedures for equitable adjustments of labors true grievances, tne CIO leaders declared, "This man has consistently schemed to undermine duly established wartime agencies which have sought in this emergency to substi tute conciliation for strikes and lockouts.

He appealed to motorists to restrict their motoring to "absolutely necessary purposes." Brown's statement recalled va rious cuts in coupon values in the bast, the ban on pleasure driving, and one three-day period when gasoline was sold only to trucks and emergency cars.

"All of these measures reflected a turn for the worse in the supply situation." Brown commented. "Unfortunately as gasoline rationing passes its first anniversary there has been no change to permit Increased rations, and certainly there CARD OF THANKS lsh to express our tpprecUlion for the msnr ecu of kindness end ex pressions of sympnUiv shown us by our friends end neighbors during the recent Illness end dreth ot our wife end mother.

But nothing like overconfidence is visible. The people are ready and eager for the hard fighting which they know is going to cost plenty of lives.

And not only tne people. There is plenty of spirit at the American bases in Britain now. The same thing goes for the British. It goes double for the Canadians, who thought at times that they were going to spend the whole war sitting the British Isles with nothing to do. They are feeling different today.

They know they have got fighting just ahead, and it cant come too quickly to suit them. It is true, too, of the munitions workers in the smoky factories, the people plowing and hoeing in the fields, the weatherbeaten miners. The whole of Britain now is pulling. The refrain is: "We're on our way." Pilot Clubs Will Hold Meet Today COLUMBIA, May 15. (JP) The Fifth district Pilot club convention will be held here tomorrow beginning at 11 a.

MITCIIELL, who re cently was promoted to rorporal, has returned to his post in California after having visited friends and relatives in this section. 150 Flying Forts Make Record Raid OnCityOfEmden (Continued from Page One) were at work, squadrons of fighter planes carried out diversionary sweeps over western Europe to draw German fighters from the areas being hit by the forts. A few minutes after announcing the raid, American headquarters revealed that photographs taken in Friday's raid on Kiel one of four targets hit by the largest fleet of American four and two-motored bombers to see action over Europe was a "smashing success." DAMAGE HELD DEVASTATING "Practically every bomb hit the target," it was announced. The pictures showed devastating damage, particularly to U-boat slips, many them with submarines on them.

Brig. Gen. Newton Longfellow, commander of the Eighth air force, congratulated his bomber crews, saying that the accuracy of their bombing never had been matched fliers active in this theater since last August. It also was announced that "other of Friday's operations were highly successful. The Ford and General Motor plants at Antwerp were battered by direct hits; and an airdrome at Courtrai, Belgium, suffered many damaging bursts.

The raid on Emden was the ninth fJpnnriT hv trA sTIC they first hit the Reich on January 27th and men on that phase of the huge operation were disappointed because they carried only incen diaries in their bomb bays. They said dropping the fire bombs was "not so much fun because there were no exDlosions and smoke and fires started were just beginning to rife when we had to leave." It was believed the incendiaries were used in an effort to set fire the vast harbor areas in Emaen, town of some 35.000 persons containing many factories and shipbuilding yards. NO NAZI SMOKE SCREEN Crew members said that "thou-sans" of fire bombs were strewn over Emden "just like sowing grain," said one. They said the Germans did not try to obscure the target with smoke, which usually is loosed when the Forts appear over the western coast of Europe. Other Fortresses meanwhile hit targets in northwestern Germany described only as an Important naval base (possible Helgoland.

65 miles north of Emden), airdrome runways and dispersal buildings. The Luftwaffe, crewmen said, was hard put to defend all the target areas and about 100 enemy fighters were kent busy trying to frustrate all attacks. It was the fifth time the heavy American bombers had gone out three days running but this latest series was by far the heaviest, hitting a total of at least seven targets St. Omer and Meaulte, France, on Thursday: Kiel, Courtrai and Antwerp, Friday and Emden and at least the naval base Saturday, f.

F. here now is growing constantly, to a point where it will be as mighty as the RAF's night bomber force. The previous heavy attacks on Germany were Kiel, Friday, and Bremen, April 17.
