so THE DEFENSE LABOR
SITUATION is BETTER?

Director John R. Steelman of the U.
S. conciliation service is practically TIC
killed. pink because, according to hlm, the
defense labor situation is better now
than il has been for some time past.
Associate OPM Director Sidney Hlllman
adds a couple of "hurrahs' with the
statement that the situation Is "satlsfac-
tory"
One way and another, in spite of the
fact that we're glad there has been a
sudden cessation of strikes IN vital de-
fense industries on a large scale, we can
not feel any great satisfaction with the
labor situation. Particularly do we shud-
der bit at the reason Mr.. Steelman as
crbes for what he calls the improved
situation.
Strikes have waned. Mr.. Steelman said,
because of increased use by both labor
and management of existing government
tai machinery for settlement of disputes
without strikes.
good old AmericaniSm expresses our
reaction exactly.
III Oh yeah?
We can't help wondering if it hasn't
struck Mr.. Steelman and Mr.. Hillman
that the cessation of major defense strikes
in this country was practically synony-
,
Strikes stopped when the mother coun-
try" of the Communists was endangered
by the enemy against whom production
of American factories is aimed.
We cannot see very much in this sltua-
tion that is satisfactory"
There still is no method for controlling
these alien inspired strikes. Our gov
yernment remains helpless in the face of
them, at any time the Reds decide that
their own extremity calls for "coopera-
ton" with American production.
Worse than that, we are like ostriches
hiding our heads in the sand if we believe
] it will take Germany very long to build
up strike cells in this country. Hereto
fore Germany has depended largely on
the Communist organization to sabotage
American industry by strikes. Now, with
a changed situation in Europe, Germany
can be expected to set up its own organ
ization.
And we will have no more defense
against that than we had against the
Communist machine-because our Ad
ministration insists that the labor situa-
ton is satisfactory
The strikes have stopped for the time
being. That is true. But the temporary
lull should not be allowed to make us
forget that we still need some means of

doubly true in Imperial Valley.
It's not the heat, it's not the humidity.

easy, don't go in for foolish excesses of

SEWERS. SIDEWALKS DOOMED
In making reductions, preference
will be given to defense projects
r. in any given county, there are
projects to build an airport and
a school. the chances are that the
airport will be built and the school
will wait. military sewers,
roads and sidewalks which are half
wav done will be completed where
possible. but don't be surprised II
some of them are stopped right at
the next corner and left for the
communities to finish.
Efforts will be made to cut out
WPA projects in areas where en-
ployment is rising, due to the de-
fense effort. In Connecticut, for in
stance, unemployment has gone
down rs per cent i'll the past year
because defense industries have been
putting men back to work at such
a tremendous rate. In Arkansas,
on the other hand, unemployment
is down only 18 per cent. Everything
else being equal, the tendency Will
be to drop many projects in Con-
necticut and take care OF the still
relatively high unemployment IN
Arkansas.
These methods of cutting have
to be balanced against the number
of defense projects WPA has on its
docket. In Florida and Maine, 30
per cent of WPA projects are in the
defense categories. That gives them
priority, and the 20 per cent OF
non defense projects will see the ak,
or at least the razor. In Western
states, the percentage of defense
projects is lower.
There will be some transferring
of workers from non-defense prof.
ects to defense projects, naturally.
In this connection, WPA will do
considerable expanding in its voca-
tional training program. Regula-
tions now permit WPA to put its
men in industrial plants to get the
training for specific jobs. WPA pays
their wages while they're learning
and the effort will be made to push
WPA eligibles through these courses
and get them on to private payrolls.

 mt to get too hopelessly muddled they had better start today making a new budget, based on new idea of what are necessities-and what not.
 Education is still important, prop CT diet is still important. and a home life that isn't pinched into drabness by constant worry over money is still important.
 But lot of things aren't. Clothes budgets can be cut. Old furniture can be slip-covered at home and made to do while longer. is neces- sary. Home entertainment for Mama, Papa and the young folks can be substituted for a lot of chas- ing around that is costing money now.

The world championships will be at stake in the 18th annual sum- mer tournament of the American Contract Bridge League at Asbury Park, N. J., in August. These are the Masters Pair event and the Masters TeamS-oS-Four.
 The team event is straight knock out: that is, the teams are paired against each other like the players in a tennis tournament, and the loser of each duel is eliminated. Scoring Is cumulative, like that of rubber bridge except that rubbers are not played. Instead of the rub- Der bonus, there are premiums for making part score or game in one hand.
 In the early knockout matches the teams play about 32 boards. The calibre of the competition being what 1t is, there is little variance in the scores made by the two teams on most of the boards. The match is often decided by a few swing" boards, where the accidents of bid- ding or play break in favor of one team
 Today's hand Is . typical swing hand, from the 104O tournament. East's two-heart bid was promptly doubled hy South. After taking the spade ace, South gave North a spade ruff. When South got in again on the first trump lead, he gave North another spade ruff. Four trump tricks. the ace of spades and two clubs set the contract two tricks, 800 points.
