(Christian Science MOnitor)
If you half listen during these Autumn
days you will hear the voices Of many
prognosticators. Then if you shake to-
gether all the fOretellings you encounter
and weigh them pro and con, you may
figure out what sort of winter weather
has been consigned to us; but more likely
you will be confused quite beyond even
the shadow of certain judgment.
Disclosing little in the way of futuri-
ties to the curious, this secretlve and
supreme baffler, Winter, warns us to
have plenty of coal in the bin and suffi-
cient oil in the tank, yet refrains from
revealing if we shall experience ten or
twenty or thirty or no days of below
zero frigidity.
Are the woolly worms darker than usu-
al? Is the moss alarmingly thick, or
pleasingly thin? Are the husks heavy
and tight around the ears of corn, or
light and loose? Do the fur-bearlng
animals of 1912 sport coats that indicate
approaching dire need for warmth? Are
the shells and hulls of hickory nuts and
walnuts tough and heavy? Have squirrels
been ever buster storing nuts?
Draw your own conclusions from such
random observations, but remember Win
ter remains a hold-Out, ever baking at
giving a prevue of what is to come in the
way of weather. Remember also, if you
are depending on fuel oil for heat, you
get 65 degrees by day but less by night.

NAVAL SHOWDOWN
Both sides are known to have
battleships in the area and any
showdown naval battle seems cer-
tain to bring about the first shoot
it-out" engagement of this war be-
tween dreadnaughtS.
Last Nights communique added
little to the picture of the terrific
struggle that apparently is going
ON in those tropical islands and in
the air and on the sea around them.
Numerous enemy surface forces
are active in the southeastern Solo
mons in an attempt to reinforce
the enemy troops now on Guadal-
canal and to disrupt our delivery
of supplies to our forces which
now occupy shore positions in this
area" the last communique said.
The current land sea and air
actions in the Solomons Islands
are the result of determined
effort on the part of the Japanese
to recapture positions in the Quad
alcanal-Tulagi area.
The engagements are continu-
ing"
LOSSES SUFFERED
The navy announced last week
that both sides have suffered naval
losses, but it was considered likely
that the commanders in the Solo,
mons have had no time during the
last five days to write detailed re-
ports.
A naval spokesman here limited
at the type of fighting going on
when he described it as hit and
run, hide and seek, touch and go"
battle. Past experience has shown
that the Japanese operate "a hours
day, giving the defenders little if
any time for rest.
Hints of the scope of the battle
came from the Pacific area. Mac
Arthur's airmen have reported a
Japanese invasion fleet packed
TO the gunwales' north of Guadal-
canal. Dispatches from New Guinea
quoted flierS as saying the convoy
was SO large we never were able
to view the entire thing at one
time"
TOPS ALL EFFORTS
Previous offenSives of the Jap2-
neSe-mainly the one from Oct. %
to Oct. 27-have been referred to
variously as "all-out" and de
cisive." Each time the Japanese
have been slapped down hard, re-
tired to reform their units and
then returned.
This time, however, naval
spokesman said, there is no ques-
ton" that the enemy is engaged
in real effort to retake the first
land taken from them since Pearl
Harbor.
The only definite reports of the
present fighting came from the
Axis radio which invariably eXag-
ents. Tokyo radio reported that six
gerates claims of damage to oppon-
Allied cruisers and one destroyer
were sunk, two cruisers and three
deStroyers damaged and 10 aircraft
shot down. 1t admitted the loss
OF two destroyers and damage to
one battleship.
The Rome radio quoted a Japa-
nese naval attache at the Italian
capital as saying a new-type U. S.
cruiser had sunk after an explo-
sion and that Japanese planes sank
another cruiser and set fire to three
American transports.

DIPLOMATIC VICTORY

1t developed that by recognizing
Darlan as head of the French mill
tary and civil administration in Al
rica, with GiraUd as chief of the
fighting forces. Gen Dwight L. Es-
enhoWer had frozen the French po-
litical situation.
Nogues and JUN, like Darlan,
had been prominently identified
with Marshal Henri Philippe Pc
tain'S Vichy regime. Nogues was
Vichy-appointed governor-general
of Morocco at the time the Ameri-
cans landed, and JUN held the
same office for Algeria.
Eisenhower went to Algiers to
confer with Darlan and make the
former commander in chief of the
Vichy armed forces, the French
leader for North Africa.

THE WRONG WAY

And that. Mister, me
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1942-04-30
OVERTIME PAY

60 MANY misleading statements have been made
~ on the subject of overtime pay that the public
mind is considerably confused on this question.
Let me give you the facts.
Payment of overtime is not standing in the
way of increased production. The Bureau OF
Labor Statistics asked employers how they felt
about it. Out of $50 employers who answered. 64S
replied that overtime requirements did not restrict
their production. They blamed shortages of ma
terials and other unrelated causes for delays.
Payment of overtime does not increase the cost
of war production. A worker employed so hours
a week and getting overtime for ten of those hours
receives in the aggregate only 10 per cent more
than if paid straight time throughout. A Depart
ment of Labor study proves, however, that the
employer does not suffer but benefits, for savings
in overhead and other fixed charges and other
gains to The management are more than enough to
offset the increase in labor cost. The corpora
tions studied added many millions OF dollars to
their profits even while paying overtime to labor.
To lower or destroy overtime standards at this
time would throw the nations entire wage struc-
ture into chaos. 1t would create a widespread de-
mand for wage increases to make up tor lost earn
ings. 1t would be cruel blow to more than half
of all American workers who have not received
pay increases comparable with higher living costs
and who must depend on overtime pay to make
up the difference.
1t would hit hardest American workers who
have been forced to assume greater responsible
ties because their and brothers and loved
ones have joined the nations armed forces and
can no longer contribute as before to the family
income.
Unions affiliated with the A. f. of L. have
voluntarily waived double-tme overtime standards
for holiday and Sunday work in all continuously
operating war industries. The building trades
unions have done this in the StablllZatlon pact
with war contractors and the government. The
metal trades unions have done the same thing in
the shipyards.
The policy Of our unions is to require
double time for overtime in industries only fol
seventh consecutive day of work.
Legislative proposals now before Congress are
based on the wholly false premise that the ma
tons existing labor policy is delaying and restrict
ing American war production As President Roose-
welt has told the American people, such egisla-
ton is not needed can do no good but can dc
much harm.

FUNDAMENTAL FREEDOMS

(From a Radio Address by Represen-
tative j. William Otter of Pennsyl-
vania).
"If there is any principle of the
Constitution that more imperatively
calls for attachment than any other,
it is the principle of free thought
not free thought for those who agree
with us but freedom for the thought
that we hate
These words of a liberal jurSt, JUS
tice Oliver Wendell Holmes, bear repe-
tition today. They are more pertinent
now than when they were uttered. They
are more pertinent now than when
they were uttered They express a pro-
found truth-a fundamental fact-that
men who cherish freedom and who
would not have it destroyed-accord to

the confession of our faith; they are
the essence of our living hope; they
are the very heart OF freedom itself.

THERE ARE now 10,OO0OOO unionsts in the

public numbers about 3O,OOOOOO people, little

when windy orators arise in congressional halls

can see AT once that if the demand is spontaneous
it comes from a selected list Of people inspired by
the enemies Of labor, because out Of every fOul
