THIRD RACE SSEX,
HANTS, JACK HORNER.

SUSSEX has schooled excep-

asking. HANTS ran with top
flight competition on the fat.
JACK HORNER should complete
the pay-of picture.

Donald Mugridge Lectures.
For number Of years Donald H.
Mugyidge has been associated with
the Library of Congress. His schol-
arly pursuits no doubt have enri,hed
his natural chess ability, backed by
active West Coast and Harvard Col
lege competition.
We never have heard Mr.. Mugridge
deliver a lecture on chess locally and
we even venture to surmie that he
never has given one. But now he
breaks his silence and Wednesday at
8 pm. at 1886 I street NV, he will
speak on American Chess Masters,
Past and Present"
The public is invited. Mr..
Mugridge Is former District cham
pion and excels all local players at
lightning chess. His ideas on chess
masters will be entertaining and in
formative.

the danger line of health. Undernour-
shed and underprivileged people are
liability to any nation at any time.
In a time of national danger they
are a danger. They are easily per-
suaded to Communism or other I'M
American PHILOSOPHERS. With rising
production and employment, and high
ar company profits, we have for the
first time in IL years a chance to
see that no one is undernourished.
So let us eliminate danger to national
unity from the hungry and those de-
MED opportunity"
Short Hours Declared Production Aid
The survey also stresses the neces-
sity of maintaining the 4O-hour week.
History shows that production in
creases as work hours are shortened"
it is declared
Raise wages, the survey asks, point
ng out that the President, the De-
fense Commission and leading citi-
zens have repeatedly declared that
adequate living standards are a first
line of defense.
"To bring those who are under fed,
i'll clad and poorly housed to a de-
cent level will require industry to
pay the largest wage increases pos
slble,' the survey said.
Higher Wages Seen Feasible Now
Higher production makes wage in
creases possible now, the survey con-
tends, citing figures showing higher
output and profits as proof that in
dustry is able to raise pay. Discuss
ing wage principles, the survey says:
employers are claiming that wage
increases will bring price increases.
Companies able to pay higher wages
sometimes use a wage increase as an
excuse for unnecessary price in
creases. This is against the public
good. Figures show that increased
production and profits furnish basis
for raising wages"

Policy Of Organized
Continued from Page One)

lieve will be willingly contributed and
not compelled. 1t would be a poor
tribute to the patriotism of our peo-
pie or to the intelligence of the men
and women who produce the goods for
our defense to promise that under such
a terrific effort as that upon which
we are engaged we can assume an at
titude of business as usual No re-
sponsible man would give any such
assurance.
"But there is an assurance which
think l can give you that is the
assurance that the practice and pro-
cedure of collective bargaining through
freely chosen and independent unions
will not be sacrificed. That policy is
fundamental to a democratic defense
of democracy. The policy underlies
today the magnificent defense of Great
Britain. 1t will stand here as the
policy of the departments of this Gov
ernment charged with defense.
"Under such policy believe that
American labor will outdo itself in
patriotic effort. Confident of their
own industrial democracy they will de-
vote their unequaled skill and enter
prise to building an impregnable
fortress of liberty on this last free
continent-a fortress fit for the habi-
tation of free men.
"Under such policy we shall work
out together the specified problems
which will certainly arise in different
places and with reference to specific
questions and we shall work them out
with regard to the changing circum-

at will be the product of common coun-
sci and Of free exchange of expert
ence and not a product imposed by
an arbitrary or unsympathetic au-
thority.

the assurance Of that spirit and that
cooperation on the part Of the War
