...Politics of Labor. The congress planned to map its policies within a fortnight. Two deep issues threatened international labor unity: ¶Sir Walter Citrine, in a speech of "controlled fury," fought a Soviet proposal to invite delegates from ex-enemy countries, i.e., Rumania, Finland, Bulgaria, who would presumably always support the Soviet delegation. French, Indian and Polish delegates backed Britain. Russian Delegate M. P. Tarasov flatly rejected the "extremely unpersuasive" arguments of "Comrade Citrine." Strongest Soviet backer turned out to be fiery Vicente Lombardo Toledano, of the potent Confederation de Trabajadores de America Latina. The capable Mexican labor leader, having...
Behind the Bagpipes. The most powerful smash of the week was launched in the north, east of Eindhoven, on a short stretch of front between the Rhine and the Maas (Meuse-see map). For the first time since December, SHAEF spokes men used the word "offensive" in reference to Allied action. Immediate objectives were the fortified road centers of Cleve and Goch.

The main objective: Stettin (see map...

("Bull") Swift's I Corps was bitterly contested. Under attack from both west and south, Rosario (see map) had been a no man's land for days, battered by naval, air and artillery bombardment, before it fell. Even from there, the road to Baguio would be uphill all the way. The Japs had big guns emplaced. Though some of these were knocked out, the enemy clung stubbornly...
