CIO members of the WPB labor advisory committee demand the dismissal of War Production Board chair Donald M. Nelson, blaming dollar-a-year men for material shortages and urging reinstatement of engineer Frederick L Libbey who was fired for telling the truth about iron steel operations.

Also reported is the Tampa bomber crash where four soldiers are missing and two crew members recovered, with Lieutenant J A Nischan named among the missing.
