Press Comment
ANOTHER CHANGE FOR DEMOCRACY
Christian Science Monitor)

Not merely a fresh leaf, but new book has been presented to motor ists and gasoline dealers in the eastern United States, with the start of permanent rationing. The tempo rary ration card has been with drawn from circulation in defeat and disgrace. It bore too many im- prints of selfishness, chiseling, and downright dishonesty. Let us mark on the new record only what we are willing for all the world to see from the merchant seaman risking his life on the oil tankerS, to the soldier, sailor, and airman whose sacrifices are beyond expression of our deepest gratitude.
 In so far as is possible, the re- vised gasoline regulations have been formulated to remove loopholes and weaknesses, but no system of this kind can succeed without the full cooperation of the public, at least in a democracy. In totalitarian na- tions, where government edicts are accompanied by coercion, not caJol- cry, disobedience such as that re- gently displayed by some East

With all this talk of raises for city employees heard in many municipality these days, it should be remembered that if wages go up now they will certainly go down when conditons return to normal Wherever wage increases are granted that isn't always explained, but it stands to reason that wage levels now being reached aren't going to stand up in the postwar period.

 Gilbert replied that all he and Henderson wanted to do was to stop imitation.
 Porter and Harper contended that the aircraft industry would not Ego along" on the per e : increase, which they caid wasn't sufficient inducement to stem the exodus of aircraft workers, whose average minimum pay is 60 cents an hour, to shipyards where the basic hourly scale is 95 cents. Two aircraft companies, Douglas and Vultee, already had agreed to 10 cent and 7h hourly in creases, Gilbert was told.
 "The aircraft industry will go along, all right" Gilbert shot back. "If necessary, the OPA can keep them in line by freeZ- ing the price of planes they sell the government.
 Tn the end, 1t was Chairman Davis who talked Gilbert down. The War Labor Board executive argued that wage increases should be based solely on relative in- creases in living costs. This was the philosophy behind the stab- ilization policy Davis announced a few days later.

 NIGHT SHIRT MENACE
 The long -burried Ku Klux Klan has just launched a barrage in- fenentially at Vice President Wal lace and other far-sighted states men who already are trying to make sure there will be no war after this one.
 Wallace recently delivered speech which reverberated round the nation regarding the import ance of enduring world peace. Fol lowing this, Imperial Wizard J. A. Colescott of the XXX sent this letter to all members of the Sen- ate:
 "It is disturbing and dan gerous for individuals or groups, officials or private citizens, to talk of international unions af- ter the war or of who shall write the peace terms, etc.
 We must win the war first; on that issue everyone should be able to agree. To talk of peace terms now, to discuss in- ternatoinal politics, boundary lines and such things is certain to cause divisions among the the American peOple-and there should NOT be any division of any kind so long as we face the one big jOb-Winning the War.
 "When the war Is won, Con- gress should have the right to say how far we shall go in mix ing, in internationalism. There Is nothing to be gained and much to be lost by the injection of post war politics at this time. I earnestly suggest to you the consideration of joint resolu- ton asking the American people to put first things first - win. ming the war, and let the question of peace terms come In their proper place."

Selected Poem
FAIR AND WARMER

(Adin Ballou in the New York sun) When sunburn irks the tender shoulder, And polar bears in zoos feel older; When traffic cops tread asphalt bubbles, And kids buy ice cream cones in doubles It's then I think that one might hand a Small medal to the salamander. When sidewalks mean a stroll in Hophet, And sleepy taxi drivers loaf 1t;
 When even Coney Islands torrid, And mustard on hot dogs is horrid- It's then, through days of desperation, I wait month for my vacation!
