Consumers Held Largely
Responsible For High
Distribution Costs
Public Affairs Committee Pamphlet "59c of Your ST.
Throws Much Light on Distribution Costs, Problems
Advocate Coordination of Government Agencies.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) S).-Con-
sumers themselves are largely re-
sponsible for the fact that it costs
considerably more to distribute goods
than to make them, says a pamphlet,
"59c of Your ST." released by the Pub
lie Affairs Committee, 80 Rockefeller
Plaza, New York. The pamphlet was
prepared by T. R. Carskadon, sum-
marizing the Twentieth Century
Funds study of the costs of distri-
button.
Advertising, and duplication of
sales effort, through factors, account
only in small part for the vast in
crease in the relative costs of dis
tribution in recent years. Nor is the
"middleman" found to be at fault
The toll taken by the "middleman" is
shown to be less than one-ffth of the
total cost Of distributing goods from
producer to consumer.
Modern Habits Blamed
Modern living habits account for
many of the increased costs of dis
tribution in modern economic society,
the pamphlet indicates. Today's
housewife is not content to buy in
bulk as her grandmother did. She
"wants small packages for her
kitchen shelf. She wants fresh goods;
she wants branded goods; she wants
them in sanitary packages; and,
above all, she wants them easily avail
able"
Costs are also increased by special
demands of consumers, many of which
are unreasonable. The privilege of
returning unwanted goods, for ex-
ample, is held to be abused at the ex-
pense Of consumers as a whole. This
practice is revealed to have grown to
such an extent that returns and al
lowances, on the average, amount to
one days sale out of eight in depart
ment stores.

Plans for Cutting Costs

In conclusion the pamphlet sum-
marizes. the proposals of the Twen-
tieth Century Fund Committee for
reducing distribution costs. The Fund
Committee suggests "study of sys-
tenn which would clearly show the
separate prices for single article,
depending upon the amount of serv-
ices involved in it's sale.
"The Fund Committee also believes
that there should be an increase in
and better coordination of govern
ment agencies to provide information
about qualities, standards, and grades
of goods which would enable con-
sumers to get better value for their
money"

New York City (ILNS).-A decla-
ration that organized labor must cam
paign for the 30-hour week to make
employment even if it means reducing
the income of some wage earners
stirred lively debate among labor ex-
ecutives at conference on the shorter
week here.
Thomas j. Lyons, president of the
New York State Federation of Labor,
started the fireworks by declaring:
"Sooner or later we have got to
meet squarely the issue of putting
people back to work by shortening
working hours, regardless of whether
it means reduction of income. There
is no use kidding around any longer.
If organized labor can't do something
about unemployment, we may see gov
ernment taking over the unions and
running them for u.s."
Viewpoint Challenged
William Cross of the Photo -Engrav-
ers' Union was the first to challenge
President Lyons viewpoint. He said
he represented an organization that
had reduced hours and raised wages
and asked why labor leader should
recommend reduction of hours at the
expense of labor and not recommend
that the employer take the major
burden.
His question was referred by Spen-
Ger Miller, Jr., director of the Work
ers Education Bureau of America and
leader Of the discussion, to Professor
Walter Peabody of Rutgers Univer-
sity, who said he had assumed that

of the United States-Catholics, Prot

facts and determined to convene the

CRACKERJACKS DRILL
 FOR TWISTED CONTEST

The All Waterbury Crackerjack football team will hold practice at Hamilton Park Sunday, October 13, at g a. m. They are practicing Sum- day morning to get in shape to trim the Winsted football team, whom they are playing Sunday, October 13, at Winsted. This is the Cracker jacks first game of the 1940 season and because they have reorgan- ized team under Coach Walter Dean, who coached at Benedict College, South Carolina, big things are ex- pected of them.

Rival Coaches
 Incapacitated

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 12-(UP)- Coach Dick Harlow was on crutches today as he sent his Harvard eleven against Michigan.
 An X-ray disclosed late yester- day that he had tibial fracture just below the right knee cap. The injury was sustained when he was knocked down during Wednesdays intensive blocking drill.
 Harlow's leg will be in a cast for several weeks, but he was told he could continue flis regular activities provided he used crutcheS.
 The Crimson coach was expected to be able to follow the game with greater ease than Michigan,s men, tor, Fritz Crisler, who has been suf- fering stiff neck for a week. The neck condition, Harlow said, un- doubtedly was due to Crisler's watching mighty Tom Harmon Trace up and down the field"

NO OAUTOSPELLINC
 ON HARVARD TURF

Cambridge, Mass, Oct. 12 - (U. P.) = Harvard Athletic Director William J. Bingham today was placed squarely on the horns of a dilemma-the horns of the Univer- sity of Michigan band.
 The band, which arrived with the Michigan football team, is commit ted to portray a streamline auto formation during the half of the Michigan-Harvard game tomorrow and spell out the word BUICK.
 There can be no wavering from this routine since the subsidiary of General Motors has purchased this form of advertising for the season.
 Harvard valiantly protects its ivy college standing, permitting only unsponsored radio broadcastS of it's games and barring all commercial projects of any sort in the stadium.
 Michigan says it must perform ac- cording to schedule.
 Bingham, who says that no auto- motive spelling bees may be con- ducted on stadium turf, hopes to avert an open break with a good old fashioned plea for amateurism.

Today's Sport Parade
BY HENRY MCLEMORE tUnited Press Staff Correspondent

Dame players. I counted up to six- 'ty mad quit. And they're big. Not big like Kate Smith is big, but tall and lean and hard and entirely sur rounded by muscles.
 Gigantic
 Tn the second place, they're fast, Even the biggest ones start like spfinters, linemen and backl alike, take the tackles, for example. There are eight good ones on hand, and seven of them weigh between 225 and 230. The other one, & chap named Gallagher; weighs only PIP pounds so hic mother brings him to practice and stays to see that the big boys don't hurt him.
 The guards are little bigger than the tackles, the ends are slightly larger than the guards, and as for the fullbacks-well, they look like scholarly percherons. Chief among these is Milotn Piepul, the captain of the team, and man given to running through, not around, ob- jectS foolhardy enough to get in his path.
 To oppose this Notre Dame team, which everyone around here admist is far and away the best Irish one since 1881, Georgia Tech has team that is light, fast, smart, and badly bnaged up.
 Hospital List
 One of the biggest and best backs on the team, Bartlett, didn't even make the trip. He's in Otlanta with dislocated knee. Rolbison, one of the greta ends in the country, has a sprained knee and hasn't scrim- maged since the 18th of last month. Robby Fair, the only real breakaway runner on the club, won't even dress for the game. Fullback Roy Goree hasn't been ir. uniform in two weeks. Another knee case.
 Tech will start a big line, but its opening backfiled will average around 155 and unless allowed to carry lariats I don't see how it ex- poets to stop the laundering Irish.
 Tech played the Irish to a stand still last year before losing IA to IT.. But its tricky offense was new to Notre Dame then, and it was in top shape. Today expect Notre Dame to win fairly easily. By 8 score say, of g to 2.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1940-10-12

Southbend, Ind, Oct. 12-(UP) - One look at the football squad Notre Dame will field against Georgia Tech here today and no southerner you can name, no mat ter how fiery or sentimental, would bet against the Irish.
 Stonewall Jackson, fighter that he was, would have demanded IA points before taking Tech. Nathan Bedford Forrest wouldn't have risked a dime on Tech unless he gots of to 1, and even Jeb Stuart would have wanted point or two.
 The Irish are loaded this year. l knew that t'e moment walked in- to Elmer Layden's office and found the Thin Man" positively fat. El- mer must scale at least 150 pounds today, which means he isn't worry ing o- fretting a great della. I knew the Irish had plenty, all down the line, just as soon as I read the first paragraph in Bearskin's famed col- umn in the Southbend Tribune. Bearskin, you know, is the anony- nous critic who tells the Irish, in blunt language, what ails them. He is being hard put this year to find any fault.
 But even if I hadn't seen fat Layden, or read a satisfied SBearskin, I would have known what Notre Dame had by watching the team in its final practice. In the first place, there are so many Notre
