Straight From
Washington
BY STEPHEN NJ. YOUNG
Congressman at Large, Ohio

Washington.-Government officials
are becoming increasingly exasperated
over strikes which have held up ma
tional defense orders. At the new
Ordnance Plant at Ravenna strikers
demanded wage increase and nation
al defense orders were held up fol
some days before work proceeded. IN
volved in these pay demands is nc
question of excessive working hours
union recognition or low wages. Much
national defense work is on a cost
plus basis. Therefore the cost OF
strikes comes right out of the taxpay-
ers' pockets.

BOOM

Weekly earnings of United States
factory workers are now the high
est in history. The average pay is
greater not only in terms of dollars
but in terms of purchasing power. At
the peak in 1929 the average weekly
earnings in manufacturing industries
was $26.40. 1t is now $4,000. Two
years ago it was $24.5S. Figures
prove that the depression is thing
of the past.

Our people are likely to hear a
great deal regarding II. X. 4949. This
is the Draft Property Bill introduced
in Congress Tuesday. This bill, if en-
acted into law, provides that during
any period of national emergency, the
President may requisition and take
over property of any kind or charac-
ter. Many Congressman who would
take over a plant in case of refusal
to carry out defense orders, will re-
fuse to support proposal granting
such sweeping powers. II. X. 4949 is
in for tough going" unless drasti-
cally amended.

instrument and quit fooling
about il.
There are a number OF stories
of how the Lombardo brothers
learned music the hard way, and
some OF thep may be a little rosy
now with long telling.
But much of the success Of the
dance band which has won ma
tional popularity polls several
years running must 60 back To
Guy Lombardo Sr., who ran a
small tailor shop with big music in
his heart.
Loued Sweet Chords
Not a professional musician
himself, the father had such love
Iof instruments and sweet chords
that 1t must have gone back few
generations in his Italian family.
He was determined that the
boys would play, and he chose the
instruments. A violin for Guy, his
lfirst-born.
Guys old pals in London say
that he no more liked to practice
than any other lad his age, but
Papa Lombardo was a determined
taskmaker. and long before Guy
was of high school age he was
something of a master with the
violin.
1t was around the age OF IL
when Guy got neighbor friend,
Fred KreitZer, TO accompany on
the piano. BY that time. Carmen
Lombardo was tackling the flute
and Liebert was learning the
trumpet as well as the violin.
They Had the Stuff
Around him, Guy gathered his
brothers and his friends-not top
notch musicians at the time-but
they felt" the coordination OF
the sweet tune: they had IL in
them to produce the soft" throb
to the pulse of the baton that has
given the band today something
which hasn't been quite duplicated.
Perhaps il is little of the Three
Musketeers' spirit which has kept
| the Royal Canadians close TO tho
top. in and out of swing and jit-
terbug periods. For. besides the
four brothers Victor was the last
to joint there are other original
Londoners still with the band
Kreitzer. Fred Higman and Fran
els Henry.
About the only Londoner TO
leave the band after IL started 60
ing places was Eddie Masuret. He
took the boat back from Cleve-
land. Today. he is doing his bit
for his country with the Canadian
army overseas.
And Londoners love the band to-
day as they did some Is years ago
when il was holding down Winter
one-nighters and Summer stands
locally
With such goodness in music
and in camaraderie. IL is no won

like So eee, 600 if, the last 10 years.
