WHY, MR.. DIES?

(From the Washington Daily News)
Congressman Dies is outraged be-
cause man who once wrote a book
about nudism is employed by Vice
President Wallace's agency which is
doing postwar planning.
We can't understand why The way
shortages are developing, the way
prices are going up, the way taxes
will have to rise, maybe advice from
an authority on nudism is just what
a lot of us are going to need. And
maybe We'll need it even before the
postwar period arrives.

given to the hard conscientious work
of union members that made such re-
suits possible"
Output Miracles" Cited
The survey goes on to cite other ex-
amples that tell the same story of out
standing production by union workers,
saying:
"a war housing project, larger than
the city of River Rouge, was to be
constructed from scratch in 800 days;
A. F. of L. building tradesmen finished
the job in 16O days and added a res
ervoir, sewage disposal plant and 20
miles of road
"In Cleveland, a $2,000,000 fire de-
stroyed an important war production
plant; federation tradesmen rebuilt it
in five days. At San Francisco Bay
where ground was broken for the new
eight-way Todd Shipyard in January,
1941, federation members worked with
such unprecedented speed that by Au-
gust 1O,OO0-ton ship had been built
and launched from new way, fol-
lowed by second 10,000-ton ship from
another new way two weeks later
"Such miracles of war produc-
ton, achieved by union men, can
mean the difference between vic
tory and defeat in this war;"
The survey tells of sacrifices of
standards by union members, to speed
production.
Hard-Won Standards Given Up
"All West Coast shipyards," it says,
"are operating on 24-hour day, Z
day week under the stabilization
agreement negotiated by the A. F.
of L. Metal Trades Department. By
this agreement, union men give up
double time pay for the sixth day of
continuous work, hard-won standard,
in effect before the war Production
results under this agreement have
been outstanding; 80 new ways have
been constructed; all ships are being
turned out within and many ahead of
schedule.
"All 19 building trades have also
given up double time rates, a move
which represents voluntary contribu-
tion of per cent of normal 6-day
weeks pay. Building trades headquar-
ters have kept watch on war produc-
tion jobs, quickly and efficiently shifted
skilled construction workers from job
to job, furnished thousands of COM
petent men free of charge to con-
tractors or the government. In six
months time they built As army camps,
many equivalent in housing capacity
to cities as large as Joliet, ILL.,"

In recommending the WPA APP
preparation bill for house passage,
the committee reported that despite
the war production drive there still
would be some unemployment be-
cause of such factors as industrial
dislocation and a growing labor
force.
Acting WPA Administrator Fran
els Dryden told the deficiency APP
preparations subcommittee that
WPA rolls will have to be pared i'm
mediately to less than 100000 Sc
that the agency will have SUFFICIENT
funds to meet Unforeseen eInergen-
cies next winter.
Unemployment to FAN
The committee estimated that
unemployment in the current fiscal
year averaged 1000, 600 and that
next year 1t will drop to between
2,5OOOO and 100000. 1t cited bu-
reau of labor statistics estimates
that employment viii drop about
5000 900 In civilian industries but
rise about 100000 In war indus
tries.
Assuming that about 2yOONO0C
wage earneTs will be called into
the armed force the committee as
serted that this increase of about
$500 900 In military and industrial
occupations viii be largely Offset BY
an increase In the labor force, II
noted that In last March alone, In.
dustry hired 100000 women.
Dryden told the subcommittee
that the WPA program would fol-
low this pattern during the new
fiscal year;

of the needy unemployed as human
ly possible into private jobs"

3. Relief OF unemployed IN area
where var production has not vel
provided Jobs,
Dryden said that IN the last yeaI
the administrative force OF the WPA
had been cut by more than 300
to 1884.

Gay watched all three carriers
taking on planes, the Kagas at each
end of the line with the smaller
one between them.
One of the Kagas was burning
fiercely even while planes landed on
it.
japanese cruisers and destroyers
were circling it, awaiting a chance
to rescue the crew.
Twenty minutes later American
Navy dive bombers roared over the
Japanese formation.
Gay watched as they shrieked
down. He saw them score direct
hits on the other carriers. Great
fires burst out in both ships. Smoke
rose in -darkening clouds, ain
flames shot from it. Every now and
then an internal explosion would
shake one of them.
When the attack ended and the
smoke cleared somewhat Gay saw
the second Kaga carrier afiame

straight toward Gay and only at the

cruiser steamed up to within 500

A spokesman for the ODT ex-
planned that this provision applied

Her plea was granted.
An aunt and uncle OF the girl

AS night fell, he saw Japanese
planes still lowering above their
mother ship. those that were left
which now was utterly useless to
them, and next day, when Navy
plane rescued him, black life RATS,
the debris and great oil patches
were alone left to tell of the disas-
ter which had befallen the enemy
feet.
Gay was certain that one Kaga
carrier was sunk and thought the
two other carriers probably sank.
AS they were burning fiercely when
he last saw them and United States
forces were on the scene In force, 1t
seemed hardly likely that either sur
vived.
FatefuI Morning
Gay took of from a plane carrier
with other planes of his squadron
on the morning of June when the
Japanese made their attack on Mid
way.
1t was Woodworking when the
planes reached the scene. They saw
below them, on the sea, three Jap
anese carriers, In line, 10 miles be-
tween the first and third, with a
considerable force of cruisers and
destrcyers around them.
Hundreds of anti-aircraft guns
burst into fire when their planes
were sighted.
The Americans attacked, through

Gays machine gunner was hit, but
the plane kept on. Gay held his tor
pedo until he was almost on the
carrier. AS he let 1t go, he swung
his plane sharply over his target
and sped astern.
An explosive shell tore through
his Fudder controls and scared his
left leg. A bullet struck his upper
