Joseph w. Frazer. president

nounced today that his company
has already developed a new
line of chronicles automo-
biles" in compliance with the
recent OPM edict prohibiting
the use of bright metal trim
after December Is.
He said his engineers have
been experimenting for months
on the use of colors instead of
shiny metal and. as a result.
have developed new "colorized"
treatment of grilles. hub caps,
trim and, other parts. Dark,
shades are contrasted against
light body tones and light color,
trim against dark surfaces, with
two-tone body treatments and
new stripping affording contrast
and high lights.
Frazer, who recently pre-
sented a 14-point plan TO OPM
and SPAB officials calling for
production of only lightweight
models and elimination of trim
and nonfunctional parts. said he
heartily approved of the OPM
ruling against bright work in
order to conserve vital defense
materials.

one cent a quart was possible
today as representatives of De-

The demand by the Milk Pro-
ducers' Association is endorsed by
the United Dairy Farmer Associ-

of the milk producers group, said
that because of lend-lease buying
for condensed milk that higher
prices are now being paid at con-

which requires more expensive

U. S. Squanders Funds

DO workers realize that Of
the billions which they and their
employers have been compelled
to pay in the name of social
security almost every last dollar
has been spent by the govern
ment TO keep itself going, that
the contributions are not set
aside for either unemployed or
aged workers?
Social security Is excellent in
principle. But the most fantas-
tic proposals are afloat at WASH
ington to grab more and more
billions from wage earners and
employers in its name. No dras-
tic measures should be taken
until the whole momentous
problem has been most maturely
studied. This is exactly what

Lord 'Halifax's speech at the

But unfortunately. from his ex-

U. S. Plans Lifting

How many workers know that

, per cent of their weekly pay?

II is proposed also 10 compel
employers, including all small

ing burden OF 4 per cent.
All this is in the name of So
cial security.
Patriotism proverbially covers

now is used by Washington TO
justify the most undemocratic
bossism by the government.
Now il is schemed To hoist the
