he said.
Presumably, the big accumula-
tions among householders are gone
and pickups by garbage operators
in the future will be confined, more
or less, to day-to-day collections.
This may offset any stimulus
given the drive by the beginning of
the commercial phase of the pro-

Tin can collections, the refuse de-
partment announced, will be made
on regular garbage pickups twice
weekly. Garbage trucks have been
equipped with special hampers to
handle the cans.
How to Prepare Cans.
Mr. Krams urged householders to
be guided by the following sugges-
tions in preparing the tin cans:
l. Wash the inside of the can as
soon as its contents are emptied.
In this way, the can is cleaned easily.
2. Remove the bottom of the can.
3. Flatten the can by stepping on
it.
4. The label is most easily re-
moved from the f1attened can. Re-
move the label.
5. Include tops and bottoms of

subsequent matinees at which
rubber, tin and rags will be the ad-
mission price, are being planned
along the same lines, it was said.
Scrap Taken to Dealers.
AS fast as movie patrons-the
majority Of them youngsters-do-
mated 10 or more pounds of scrap
material at theaters, Boy Scouts and
representatives Of Junk dealers piled
the scrap into junk dealer and
charity agency trucks parked out
side the theaters.
Some theaters reported they were
continuing to get scrap long after
matlnees supposedly had ended. A
flnal count on the amount collected
at all theaters was not expected
before tomorrow, although movie
officials said it would easily surpass
100000 pounds.
Downtown theaters did not expect
much scrap business. The Metro
politan Theater, however, had COL
lected between 1000 and 5000
pounds and the Columbia Theater.
about 5000 pounds. Youngsters. one
theater manager reported, rode
down on streetcars with their scrap
under arms, regardless of the weight.
Bedsprings Are Favorites.
Bedsprings, as was characteristic
OF the Sunday drives, were a favorite
donation, despite the fact they are
just about the clumsiest of scrap
items. This didn't seem to deter
the youngsters, another theaterman
commented.
At the Takoma Theater sveral boys
teamed up and between them bore
large iron radiator to the theater.
They were admitted on their dona-
tlon., Managers reported that nearly
all contributions weighed more than
the minimum 10 pounds.

The substance of President Roosevelt's

gress viii be approved by all except a
few professional leaders" or farm and
labor groups.
The American people have made IL
abundantly clear that they are willing to
pay the necessary price 10 win this war,
and the peace that viii follow. Wage
control and price control make bitter
medicine, but our people can and will
take il.
Initiation can not be halted, short of
disaster. unless the ceilings now placed
upon everything else shall be extended TO
wages and to the price of farR products.
Labor and farmers are both patriotic
enough and intelligent enough to bow TO
the inevitable.
Throughout his message to congress
and his radio talk 10 the public, Mr.. Roose-
welt reiterated the interdependency OF
farm prices and labor's wages. To re-
strain one. and permit the other 10 bur-
geon unchecked, would be rankest dis
elimination.
But-and this would seem 10 be
major weakness in Mr.. Roosevelt's belated
attack of toughness about inflation-the
president did not ask congress to do any
thing about wages.
you fellows fix a ceiling for the
farmers" said he, in effect. "and trust
me to see that a corresponding roof is
put over the wages
Having in mind great many things
that have happened in Washington of late
years, many ongressmen-including at
least some New Deal Democrats-do not
care for this division of the task.
II is their duty to face the electorate
in November.
There is, of course, nothing TO prevent
congress from going beyond Mr.. Roose-
velts explicit demand, and legislating on
both wages and farm prices at the same
time.
That would be smart politics as well
as sound economics.
The important thing is that congress
should act.
Members first reaction. naturally
enough, was indignation at the sudden
harshness of the message; at the gun
held to congress head; at Mr.. Roosevelt's
sudden impotence five months and IL
days after his original presentation of a
model seven-point program.
But this is too vital an emergency for
congressional action to be dictated by re-
sentiment. Although we can sympathize
with those who have been angered, we
could not condone their failure IL. because
of pique, our congressman fail now to take
the necessary action to save the country
from disastrous initiation.
