the first nationwide War Bond cant

their unions have achieved the two
fold goal of better than 80 per cent

Bonds every payday" Secretary Nor

management and of the United Rubber
Workers Of America. This spirit that
all of you have shown is strong assur-

The first 2 large plants to achieve
the 10 per cent goal were the Goodyear
and Goodrich plants here, employing
25,OOO and $4,000 workers respectively.
Other results from the 81 states
covered in the drive indicate that prac-
tically the entire industry is above s
per cent in bond purchases, and attain
ment of the 10 per cent goal by all 167
firms is in sight.

Washington, d. G. - The general
language of President Roosevelt's Eco
nomic Sterilization Order raised q
number of grave problems as the Ma
tional War Labor Board was flooded
with inquiries on how employers and
employees, about to reach agreement
on wage advances, can make certain
that they comply with the principles
of the anti-inflation policy.
James f. Byrnes left his Supreme
Court offices and, as Economic Sta
bilization Director, established head
quarters in the new White House East
Wing Executive Office and it was hoped
in Administration quarters that a
series of directives from him soon
would clarity the precise meaning Of
the Presidential order.
One of the problems confronting the
NWLB was the absence in the order
of recognition for its Little Steel
wage stabilization formula, providing
in general for wage advances totaling
IS per cent to compensate for added
living costs between Jan. 1, 1941 and
May /, 1912.
Some members of the board cited
that the Presidents order permitted
