Wallace has stated that milk trust
profits in Chicago were unusual" but
has not disclosed the results of his
audit. The salaries exacted by the
managers of the Pure Milk Assn,
the farmers marketing agency, are
also considered unusual.
It is believed that threats by Wal

data were responsible in part for the
willingness of the ~contending parties

settle. Union milkwagon drivers will
now have to defend their $40 a week

WINGS OVER
WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON-(FP)- Many re-
porters who attended a recent press
conference of Gen. johnson were as
founded next morning to see a 3-col-
umn headline in the morning paper,
johnson to Ask Industries to Slash
Workers Hours Making Jobs for Mil
lions. What the General actually said
was that it is impossible to slash
workers hours because it would
plunge many firms into bankruptcy
and that any hope of the 30-hour
week or anything like it in the near
future is all poppycock. So much for
that!
**#
To show how the General really feels
about such matters, a few days before
he extended hours in the auto industry
from 80 to 40 a week on the assump-
ton that there were no more unem-
ployed in Detroit. At Sen. Couzens'
office however the idea that every
body in the auto city is working got
a large Bronx cheer.
