FROM OUR
EXCHANGES
WIDENING OF ROUTE 13
PROGRESSING RAPIDLY

The work of widening Route IL,
from Judson Kellam crossing to Tas-
ley is being pushed rapidly. In fact
the work is going forward faster than
any road project ever built in this
section. In two weeks time the r.
K. Williams Company has poured one
side from Judson Kellam crossing to
Tasley with the exception of Sec
ton in Melfa and section in On
ley. This company was held up sew
eral days last week on account of not
having the materials.
They are now ready to start back
on the west side of the highway. I'm
less there is hold-up on account of
materials they will pour the project
in six weeks. After that there is
still much work to be done as the
shoulders must be built. BY a
strange paradox the Highway Com
mission announced on Wednesday of
last week that the contract for the
project had been awarded and actual
ly the project was about half poured,
when announcement was made of the
awarding of the contract.

HOT OFF THE CREDIBLE

Scrape dishes and pots into news
papers or the sink strainer, and en-
pity the strainer and remove from
sink before washing dishes; other
wise the residue removed from the
dishes floats in the water and adds
to the grease in the sink.
Ice cream should stand several
hours to ripen or blend the many flaw
ors of the eggs, sugar, fruit, nuts,
chocolate and other substances found
in the product. Each flavor may be
distinguished in freshly frozen ice
cream.

DELAWARE'S NEW INSPEC-
TION LAW GOES IN EFFECT

The wholesale inspection of auto
mobiles, held every summer, will not
be held this year, State Motor We
hicle Commissioner George S. Will
liams announced last week. Instead
all cars will be reinspected from next
January l to March 81, when owners
apply for their new permanent regis
tration tags.
Under the permanent tag bill, sign
ed by Governor Bacon, each motor
vehicle owner will have his present
1941 tag figures continued in the per-
manent plates. The new measure, in
troduced by President Pro Tenn Har-
old w. T. Purnell, provides that no
car shall be registered until it has
passed the state inspection.
Operating the inspection lanes as
usual would cost the state approx
mately $4,000 it was said at meet
ing of the State Highway Commits
sion recently, and would serve no pur-
pose since the registration inspection
will start in January.
Inspections which begin in January
will be held in the states permanent
lanes at Wilmington, Dover and
Georgetown, stated by permanent
employees of the highway department
rather than by the temporary en-
ployees hired during the summer in
spection period.
The permanent plates will, however
begin to make their appearance July
/, when the new laws goes into eff
feet, and all cars registered after
that time will receive the new-type
tags.
/ Nothing in the act affects the cur
rent registration of motor vehicles.
Under the new law, a registration
: number remains with a car through
out its life. Each plate will contain
an additional removable section to
show the date of expiration.
After July a vehicle may be reg
istered for IL months or six months
and the effective date of any regis
tration will be considered the first
day of the calendar quarter in which
the vehicle is registered and the re-
'aquired fees paid.
There is provision in the law that
any time within three months prior
to the expiration of the period for
which a vehicle is registered, the reg
istration may be renewed to extend
from the period of expiration for an
additional period of six months or a
year.
Number and registration plates
will be considered the property of the
State of Delaware. If through loss
or DETACHMENT additional plates are
required, a 81 fee would be assessed
for each one. The department will
nay so cents per plate for each ont
returned to the department in &C
cordance with the law.
Governor Bacon also signed the fol
lowing bills:
President Pro Tenn Purnell-T
appropriate $4,000 for the construc
ton of buildings and equipment an
operation of an agricultural researc
sub-station in lower Delaware an
$4,000 for it's maintenance during tn
second fiscal year.
Robert w. Davis of Little Cree
was named by Governor Bacon a
boat inspector for four years.

WASHINGTON. - OPP - Hearst
Magazines, Inc. and Good Housekeep-
ing, a subsidiary were ordered to
cease and desist from using seals
of approval and similar indications
by the Federal Trade Commission
here May 20.
The commissions order was issued
after lengthy hearings and campaign
conducted against it by the Hearst
newspapers which charged that the
complaint was inspired by subversive
characters within the administration.
The commission found that the
tests" claimed by the magazine were
phoney, that the guarantees" by the
magazine were not guarantees at all,
and that many of the ads appearing
in the publication contained false,
deceptive, and misleading statements
and representations"

TIPS and
WAGES BEFORE
HIGH COURT
Administrator Claims $685.
500 Workers in the United
States Get No Wages Except
Tips on Their Jobs, Accord
ing to Government Survey.

The Supreme Court has been asked
to review the question of whether
tips are wages under the Fair Labor
Standards Act in memorandum filed
by the Solicitor General in behalf of
Gen. Philip B. Fleming, administrator
of the Wage and Hour division, De-
partment of Labor.
The administrator, as a friend of
the court, has interviewed in the suit
brought by red caps employed at the
Union Terminal company, Dallas, Tex,
against the terminal company for re-
stitution of wages under the Wage
and Hour law. The Circuit Court of
Appeals for the fifth district last
month found that the tips received
by red caps constituted wages paid
to them, reversing the judgment of
the court below which had found in
favor of the red caps and awarded
them $77,75398 in back pay and Ii
quidated damages.
The memorandum was submitted III
support of a petition for a writ of
certiorari which seeks to bring this
case before the Supreme Court as a
test case and thus judicially settle a
question which affects the method of
compensation of the more than 5000
red caps employed in railroad term
inals throughout the country. Over
fifteen suits by red caps against rail
roads ON this question involving sew
eral million dollars are now pending.
Indirectly affected are all workers
who receive all or part of their re-
Enumeration in the form of tips. A
recent government survey estimates
their number throughout the country
to be approximately SS8,500 Most of
these are walters, who are not COW
cred by the Wage and Hour law
Many of them are under state mini
mum wage orders

US. ATTACHES
FUNDS OF
GERMAN TRUST

WASHINGTON-CF UP -Attachme
of the funds of the l. G. Farbenindus-
trie, gigantic German chemical COM
pany with a number of American in
dustrial connections, was announced
here May by Atty.-Gen. Robert Fl.
Jackson.
Jackson said the funds of the COM
parry, located in the Natl. City Bank
of New York, were attached after the
company's failure to respond to an
indictment charging it with violating
antitrust laws.
The company has many licenses in
this country, he said, and derived a
good deal Of revenue from American
firms for the use of patents. On the
day the attachment was served, he
said, about $25O,00O was expected
from American firms in the form of
license payments and patent royal
fies.
Refusal of the company to respond
to the antitrust indictment, Jackson
said was based on the contention
that the firm is not subject to Amer
lean laws The attachment of funds
constituted a contention to the con-
trary by the U. S. government"

COMMODITY PRICES
Are SOARING

WASHINGTON = OPP - A new
wave of heavy buying in speculative
markets for industrial materials sent
commodity prices at wholesale to a
u year peak during the week ended
May 3, Commissioner Lubin of the
Bureau of Labor Statistics reported
May 8.
"The bureaus index of nearly 900
price series rose .2q6 to 1920 of the
1926 average, the highest level since
mid-November 1887" Lubin said. Price
advances were especially sharp for
rubber, petroleum products, fats and
oils and for raw cotton and grains.
Prices of imported commodities
rose sharply because of the fear of
a diversion of shipping on the an
nouncement of the Presidents orders
to the Maritime Commission to de-
velop a pool of at least 100000 tons
of merchant shipping to carry out the
national defense effort and aid the
democracies.

EMPLOYERS WARNED
AGAINST Arbitration

LOS ANGELES. - Opp - Labor
would not be the only one to suffer
under compulsory arbitration, Sec. j.
w. Buzzell of the Central Labor Coun-
ell told the Los Angeles Lawyers
Club
Buzzell said that management, too,
"would lose its rights, and the loss
OF all our hard-won liberties would
soon follow"
in Europe" Buzzell went on, the
labor unions were first abolished,
then all civil liberties went the same
way"
Buzzell said undue emphasis had
been placed on strikes and pointed
out labor's job in defense, including
building of cities for 10000 men, COM

Because Murray's steel plan con

ing three years into the future it was
quickly put in the OPM ice chest for

The Murray plan is still on ice.
Technically it is lin committee"
The Washington announcements OF
May were taken here as final con-
fession that the Dunn report was in
accurate in its conclusion that steel
capacity is sufficient and as an indi-
cation that civilians will be called
upon to pay the price of the industry
refusal to expand and refusal to plan
the use of it's facilities.
Opposition to additional plant ex-
pansion, it was believed stems from a
desire on the part of large steel cor
porations to keep as much of the
steel orders as they can get to them
selves, from fear that new plants in
later years would be idle, and from an
unwillingness to jeopardize profits.
The effect of the industry's policy
on consumers has already been noted
in the auto industry which has an
nounced a 20%6 reduction in next
years production due, primarily, to
the lack OF, steel.
This reduction, says CLIO Secretary
James B. Carey, who is a member of
the production planning board, will
result in boosting the price of autos
and hardships for workers in the auto
industry.

EDITORS
Are OPPOSED
70 C0NV0YS

Three out of four labor editors are
opposed to conveys, the Federated
Press poll of labor editors for May
discloses. An even higher percentage
believes that conveys mean war.
The survey put the labor press in
sharp disagreement with the latest
Gallup poll, which reported 52%o of
the public in favor of conveys. Only
2185 of the labor editors want Amer
lean warships to help deliver goods
to Britain.
Comments showed that conveys are
opposed chiefly because they mean
war. No less than 10 editors quoted
Pres. Roosevelt's recent remark, Con
voys mean shooting and shooting
means war"
Several editors went still further
to charge the administration with
driving toward war that has nothing
to do with democracy. Thus one CLIO
editor observed, IF Americans don't
know by now that FDR is hell-bent
for an imperialist war; they have
learned nothing since the November
election"
The only real support for conveys
came from ALL editors, who were
379o in favor. CLIO editors and indie
pendents were about IL to 1 against
In general the poll reflected the
strong anti-war sentiment of labor.

ON OUR
DOORSTEP
BY PARKER t. ANDERSON


In his dedicatory address at Billings
on the 18th, Governor Sam Ford is
quoted as saying:
Harsh treatment should be the lot
of large subversive element which
honeycombs this country and is teach
ing and preaching the doctrines of
the foreign dictators. This element is
boring from within. !. Let each
of us rededicate ourselves to the serv-
ice of country in order that democracy
the EARTH"
These are strong words and we in
dorse them without reservation. But
doesn't the Governor go far afield for
his theme and wander into the prov
ince of the department of justice and
the Omen who appear to be doing a
fine job in rounding up subversive
elements? Can't the Governor find
anything in his own bailiwick about
which to grow eloquent and resent
full? He did a good job in cleaning
out the liquor board and highway com
mission but why stop there?
What about the Grass Conservation
Commission? Four years ago this
board confiscated the community
ranges in Blaine county and handed
them over to a clique of big stockmen
already in control of hundreds Of
thousands of acres of pasture lands.
Is this boring within or just the COM
mon garden variety of racketeering
permissible i'll democratic state pre-
sided over by reform Governor?
How can these disinherited farmers
wax enthusiastic in rededicating them
selves to democracy when democracy
treats them so stability?
If our memory serves us right in
the election of November last the
communists cast votes in Blaine
county and Sam C. Ford received over
1000 and this in a county that went
overwhelmingly for Roosevelt Here
was democracy with bells on! Does
it mean nothing to Governor Ford :?
Do the voluminous petitions asking
the Governor to remove a certain
member of the grazing commission
mean anything? Here is the demo-
cratic process at work. The commits
sion is subject to the Governors or
ders. He can reorganize it any day in
the week. Justice is the best antidote
for dissension. What is needed is
action Fine words butter no mars
nips.
