Reporters Snoop
Unchecked in
Big War Plants

BY the Associated Press.
CLEVELAND, Feb. 14.-Some
Cleveland war plants proved as wide
open as department stores to two
Plain Dealer reporters.
Robert Herrick and John Blair
roamed at will yesterday through
seven Of the larger plants working
on war contracts. They were turned
back by guards at four others.
The reporters made no effort to
disguise themselves as workmen. nor
did they explain their presence.
In one Of the largest plants, Mr..
Blair wandered for nearly 80 min
utes inspecting airplane parts and
vital machines. In another he asked
workman in a paint shop If he
would cause much damage by light
ing a match. YES" the workman
shouted, and paid no more attention.
In third plant he read warm
ing against sabotage posted by the
Cleveland Police Department., then
tore 1t from the board and walked
away unchallenged.
Similar experiences were reported
in war plants picked at random.

Income VS.. Available Goods.
Viewing the problem as one Of
too much income for the available
amount of goods, Mr.. Henderson
said he favored increased income
taxes, both personal and corporate,
which would bite seven to nine bill
lion dollars more out of the coun-
try's 1912 income, and hoped that a
savings program could divert an
additional seven to eight billion dol
lars of purchasing power.
He intimated this still would
leave an excess of purchasing power
of II or IL billion dollars over the
amount of consumer goods and
services available under the war
economy Consequently, he said.
more savings must be siphoned out
of the Nations pockets, and he pro-
posed that labor groups take the
lead in instituting savings plans by
withholding part of their members
pay checks, or by other means.

With large fleet Of trucks as

this afternoon. OF the 500 employees

Workers transferred have been

Additional employees will be re-

Removal Of the division to New

The division will retain a small

Pay Raises 10 Force
Increased Rationinq,
Henderson Warns
Urges Union Labor
To Fight for Lower
Prices, Higher Toxes

A warning from Price Administra-
tor Leon Henderson that widespread
wage increases would force extension
of Government rationing to insure
equitable distribution of consumer
goods confronted organized labor
today.
Mr.. Henderson made clear at a
press conference yesterday that he
thought workers would be much bet
ter off if organized labor would seek
lower prices and higher taxes rather
than increased wages.
Meanwhile, the o. P. A. reported
today that two separate sugar ra-
tioning schemes will be tried, one
for householders and another for
such commercial users as bakers,
confectioners and bottlers.
Registration Date Unset.
The commercial registration, how
ever, may be held on the same day
that housewives gather at neighbor-
hood schoolhouses to sign up for
ration stamp folders. The folders
will entitle them and each member
of their families to a specified
amount of sugar, probably u ounces
per week. No date has been set yet
for the rationing.
Mr.. Henderson said he was not
worried about the possibility Of
boarding by ordinary consumers.
Public anxiety about sugar supplies
will lease tremendously" when ra-
tioning goes into effect and people
learn that sufficient sugar will be
unfailingly available, he predicted.
Mr.. Henderson's discussion Of
wages came when asked for his views
on C. I. o. demands for $1-a-day
wage increases for employees of Lit
tie Steep' and General Motors. He
refused to comment on those par
ticular cases.
He declared, however, that "if
anything could be done to prevent
q rise IN the cost of living, that would
be more beneficial to the labor group
than increasing wages"
Price Tags on Envelopes.
he added.
IF the labor group could force
the Office of Price Administration to
60 very severely at the cost OF liv-
ing and force Congress to increase
taxes, workers would get much more
than they would by changing the
price tags on pay envelopes"
The War Labor Board has set
hearing for February "a on the c.
I. O.'s demands on Little Steel"
Mr.. Henderson has no authority
to place ceilings on wages. The Price
Control Act directs, however, that
he consult with agencies concerned
with wage questions.
In that connection, Mr.. Hender-
son said he had discussed with the
Labor Board the feasibility Of pay
ing any future wage increases in
Defense savings bonds or stamps,
but noted that neither he nor the
board had power to require such
payment.
