 There are some discrepancies in the confessions of Pavette, who denied emphatically any connection with the fatal shooting of Edward LaFouhtain and the Wounding of Mrs. LaFountain and R. F. Bull in Seattle the day before Mrs. Link was slain.

Priiorities Seen
Logical Move
AT This Time
BY LEWIS HANEY

Professor of Economics, \. \. Unhersit
The headlines tell us that
"prioritieS" for labor are being
considered. This means that
labor shortages are getting so
acute that the authorities figure
/. that the limited numbers must
be distributed among the most
necessary Jobs, Mr.. Knudsen
says that we need 60 per cent
more man hours in production.
A government official estimates
that 100000 more laborers are
required.
At the same time, other head
lines tell of the fixing of price
ceilings" This means that in
several important cases. the
quantities of good available are
so limited that buyers are bid
ding up the prices.
In view of these all-too-obvi-
Gus and Widespread happenings.
il is almost amazing to find two
opposite views still being eX-
pressed. One view is that there
is great danger in priorities. and
that Initiation is a serious threat
that is increased by priorities.
The other view is that there is
little or no danger of initiation,
because supplies of goods and
labor are alleged to be so abun-
dant.

Executive Order

President Roosevclt's eXecu-
tive order creating the new
board declares it TO be the
duty of the employers and en-
ployes engaged in production or
transportation of materials es-
sential to national defense to
exert every possible effort 10
settle all their disputes without
any interruption in production
or transportation.
'Tn the interest of national de-
Tense, the parties should give 10
the Cancellation service OF the
department of labor and to the
office of production manage
ment (A) notice i'm writing OF
any desired change in existing
agreements, wages or working
conditions; OBJ full information
as to all developments in labor
disputes: and (C) such sufficient
aIyance notice of any threatened
interruptions to continuous pro-
duction as will permit eNplora-
ton of all avenues OF possibie
settlement of such controversies
as to avoid strikes, stoppages or
lOckOuts."

Auto.
Ist Quarter Output
May Surpass 1925
On March Volume

With three-fourths of March
past, the output for the month
in the automotive industry may
top January's imposing 524,126
units and run the first quarters
production well beyond the mil
lion and a half mark. 1t would
be a new high mark. going
above even 1929. The only fac
tors which may interfere are
serious labor troubles and ma
terial shortages.
Production the United
States and Canada fell off
slightly to an estimated 122 500
units for this week, as some
manufacturers began to taper
off output in view of large
stocks.
February of this year set a
record when production for the
first time hit the half-million
figure for the short month.
Shortages due 10 priority OF
materials are discounted by
those in a position TO know. In
addition, the industry is ready
to meet problems arising from
diversion of special metals and
already many substitutes are in
use in the factories.
Retail sales are keeping
abreast of production. from all
recent reports, and strong up
turn is expected with the advent
of Spring.

Clearing the Air

The Presidents action should
contribute materially to clearing
the air. to allaying recent appre-
hension over the multiplication
of labor clouds. TO diScouraglng
irresponsible strikes, to vide
spread substitution of Official
mediation for walkouts. and 20
shortening the duration OF work
stoppageS.
1t is in the highest interest OF
wage earners themselves that
their leaders refrain from rub
bling the American people the
wrong way at this critical time;
As Presi dent Roosevelt
warned, we must all be prepared
TO suffer sacrifices. Certainly,
the government has not hesl-
tated TO issue peremptory orders
to various industries as to what
they may or may not do, as 10
whom they can sell and cannot
sell, etc.
1t would be paying American
workers no compliment TO as
sumo that they will not fall into
line with national needs as un-
complainingly and readily as
have industrial enterprises.
Under the new board, labor
can count upon getting a lar
deal.

Form OF Protection

II think that life insurance Is
splendid form of protection
and splendid form of invest

about II relates to matters
beyond the control OF the execu-

purchasing power of the dollars
be that they will eventually
pay out. But the same problem
affects old age benefits under
