of the War Labor Board, had OBJ

that amounted to as much or more
than the increase in living costs

In April, President Roosevelt

asked Congress to act on only two
of the points-taxes and removal
of the limitations on price ceilings

said. had full control of wages.
Congress could see no object in
more rigid price controls. without
a corresponding control of wages.

1.-THE White House, that TO attempt
price control, without correspond
ing wage control. was a gesture
of extreme futility.
However, when the original
price control act of 1912 was under
consideration, President Roosevelt,
and all his administration who
appeared before congressional
committees, declared that Con-
lgress should not attempt wage
control. The President himself
would deal with wages, if it be.
came necessary.
All attempts to include wage
controls in the price control act OF
1912 were voted down through
administration influence. So very
naturally. members of Congress
who knew Gas farmers know that
Increased wages would be paid out
of prices received for products,
secured limitations on the power
to fix prices of farm products.
Such limitations were written into
the law passed last February.

Special 10 THE DETROIT TIMES

WASHINGTON, Oct. 5. - De-
imands for fuel for industrial
plants in the Wichita, southwest
Kansas, and Kansas City areas,
before winter is over, are going
to be at least double what they
were two years ago. These big
plants require huge quantities of
fuel oil, natural gas. coal.
There is a lot of natural gas
available in the Hugoton fields.
But so far, the administration,
with its usual complacency. until
after the tragedy has happened,
is doing little, or nothing. to allow
increased fuel supplies 10 be de-
livered to these vital industrial
areas.
The result Is almost bound to
be serious--and in this instance
an uncalled for--shortage of fuel.
especially natural gas, unless this
is a mild winter.
CUT OUTPUT INSTEAD
We attempted last spring to get
sufficient materials for a pipe line
from Hugoton TO Wichita. pointing
out that all these ordnance, air
plane. shell-loading and other war
industries will require fuel and
lots of fuel TO produce 10 capacity.
But instead OF making provision
for more fuel for these industrial
plants and the people dependent
upon natural gas for heat this
winter. our war management did
just the opposite thing.
An order was issued TO further
decrease production and prohibit
new production OF natural gas in
the Hugoton field.
C0VER-UP DECRIED
I believe in people sacrificing
when necessary, and all that is
necessary, but grow indignant
every time l think of the compla-
Icency with which some of the
Washington bureaus, boards and
agencies put off necessary decis-
ions until too late-and then try
TO cover UP their own failures by
proclaiming that the people of the
United States do not yet realize
that we are at war.
The people of this country know
we are In a war, all right. but
sometimes I think some of the
Washington managers do not real
lie what being at war means in
the way Of planning and leader

Concert
BY PFC. HENRY DAVIS

Despite the fact that the wealth
er was most uncomfortable, a
splendid crowd turned out TO hear
the international artist, Jesse Meri-
wether, in piano recital Sunday
afternoon, March S, which was pre-
sented by the Hamblin USO club.
Mr.. Meriwether played admirably.
He has exceptional qualifications
in technique. musical feeling, and
tone production. One particularly
enjoyed his Interpretation OF the
group OF Chorales by Bach and KEEL
berine. The majesty and impress
siyeness with which he played them
is likely TO linger long in the NOM
cries OF those who truly appreciate
the versatile works OF Bach who
was the first and foremost writer
OF organ music.
His performance of the Brahms
F minor Scherzo was rather excit-
ing. The demands OF this Scherzo
are chiefly technical, but these, Mr..
Meriwether easily surmounted. and
thus. met the requirements brill
liantly.
Much too. can be said OF the no.
table selection by Chopin, which the
pianist played so attractively.
Chopin's Etudes and Polonaises de-
mands sturdy. facile fingers. firm
rhythmic sense. and well develop
ed command OF form.
II was indeed frotunate that
William Childes director OF the
Hamblin USO). was able to secure
such a fine Steinway piano, an in
strument that always lends enrich
ment to an artists performance.
Those OF us who attended the
concert enjoyed a rare treat. and
sincerely trust that Mr.. Meriwether
will again give the music lovers OF
Battle Greek another opportunity
to hear him in the not too distant
| future.
