proportionote number OF persons en-
eoeed in war production. Paul V. Nc
Mutt, War Monpower Commission
chairman, announces that we have "
100000 thus employed. But it must be
remembered that this was an industrial
nation to begin with, while IS years
oao Canada had SO little industry that
the government did not trouble to toke
an annual census Of manufactures.
We hove far fewer than six million
men under arms. We ore taking in few
er than quarter Of million men month
Iy. We have actually spent less than 35
billion dollars on the war from the mid
die Of 1910 to the end Of lost month.
We hope and expect to make &C, 900
oirplones this year. but this will repre-
sent considerably less than l2O-fold
expansion Of our pre-wor production.
Corpne at Canada isn't popular
postinne any more.
Nevertheless it may do no harm
to note what Our neiehbor is doing for
the defense Of democracy.

MIRROR TRICK


While Producer Walter Wan
ger was making sure that these
Arabian Nights" scenes were
being made acceptably, Mrs.
Walter Wanger was the object
of attention in a modified strip
tease. at 20th-Fox, for Girl
Trouble"
The cameraman was having
plenty of girl-trouble, because
it was his job to show Joan
Bennett leaving shower in a
bathroom lined with mirrors.
AS long as she stood in the
shower an intervening frosted
glass door concealed all but her
legs and shoulders. But the
telephone had to ring, and she
had to answer it. and the mir
rors would reveal too much if
they used the old device of
ducking behind bathtowel.
They finally solved the prob
lem with a gust of moist steam
which logged the mirrors as
Miss Bennett sped past in her
towel. Not a very big towel,
either.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTON

$40 million to finance the
operation.
Gossip in Washington keeps
trying to stir up q feud be-
tween WPB Chairman Donald
M. Nelson and Lieut.. Gen. Bre-
hon SomeNeII, commanding
general of the Army Services
Of Supply. Nelson oin't mod
at anybody, ever, but there's
something about q general
that makes him want to run
things. Nelson's recent re.
alignment Of the WPB oreoni-
zotion kept for WPB finoI con-
troll over priorities and war
production. Thot wos eonsid-
cred q licking for SomeNeII.
He retired into his corner tor
q doy, but came out fighting
the next, and apparently
won't be satisfied until the
Army is running the whole wor
production show. SomevelI's
choice WPB boss is supposed
to be Ferdinand Eberstodt,
chairman Of Army-NoW Mu-
nitions Board.
Nelson has transferred to
the Army some Of the principal
WPB functions and personnel,
notably production under Brig.
Gen. w. n. Harrison and pur-
choses under Col. Douglas
Mookeochie. Principal bone OF
contention is that WPB wants
certain minimum civilian re-
quirements taken core OF.
Army would cut civilian econ
onny right to nothing. WPB
complains that Army has been

orders in totol disregard OF
WPB ratings.

CHANGING JOBS

Unless they ore weighed carefully
land to some extent even then-the
most recent Labor Department stotls-
les on Job quitting ore disturbing. They
are for April, and the situation may
have changed again. But the trend up
to that time was consistnt.
Half again os many workers we're
leaving their jobs, for one reason or
another, this year as against l94l.
Thot was true alike Of voluntary quit
ting and Of discharges. The first, Of
course, reflects men going into the
armed forces and workers taking bet
ter positions. The second reflects dis
charges of unskiIIed workers taken on
due to industrial expansion.
Production will proceed much more
smoothly when we get the machinery
shaken down so labor turnover levels
off.

HOLLYWOOD, July "a -
There was some wonderful mer-
chandise in the "A a b a n
Nights" slave market this morn
ing, but it wasn't Dollar Day.
Comply brunets were selling
for more than 100 gold dinars; a
blond brought 400; and one of
the auctioneer's stooges told me
he had been authorized to bid
1000 dinars for a beautiful red
head who'd be put on the block
soon. She was Maria Montez, the
star, and a deal already had
been arranged for her to be
bought by Edgar Barrier. the

The scene began with the

CONTROLLING PRICE CONTROL

Long OeTOre PRESIDENT NOOSeVelt
announced his seven point plan for
Keeping the cost Of living down, this
newspaper pointed out that to curb in
fIotion drastic ootion would be needed
at more than one or two points. We
were glad that the President included
in his program heavier taxes and the,
sterilization of farm prices and Of
wages. With other commentators we
observed thot the Administration would
have to take q more vigorous stand on
those three points if it hoped to keep
any kind Of ceiling on retail prices.
Today the whole program is plain
ly on the verge Of breaking down, if, in
deed, it is not already beyond the pos
sibiIity of rescue. Price Administrator
Henderson's impressive warning to
Congress is not q bit too strong or too
early. And apparently Congressional
unwiIlneness to bring out on adequate
tax bill, coupled with the War Labor
Boards decision to give workers in the
little Steel" companies wage in
crease and the form bloc" insstence
on pority loans, hos at lost olormed the
President SO thot he is ready to ask for
legislative curbs on wages.
Some economists contend that the
doneers Of initiation are being exoe-
eeroted But thot large group Of pur-
chasing agents better known os house,
wives has no doubt about the contnu-
ing increase in the cost Of living. And
even those who ore not greatly con-
oerned about the tremendous national
debt must recognize that it would be
we'll to hold down the cost Of fighting
The very congressman who ore
ofroid to hurt anybody with taxes in
on election year will have to 10y ON
far higher taxes if war materials and
war wages keep on climbing Moreover,
formers and workers who think to bene-
fit by higher woees and prices will see
their own gains wiped out in q general
initiation that is already penoIizing
everybody.
Mr.. Henderson hos broved not only
oil the hosts Of retailers and the labor
unions but the farm bloc and all the
politicians who represent special inter
ests. He deserves credit for warning q
year oeo on prices and for courage in
trying to stem the tide He may yet be-
come q popular hero. But the fight
against initiation often politically
unpopular one = is more than q one
man Job.
If there is still chance of sovino
the price-oontrol system from control
by pressure groups which want no con-
troll Of their particular interest, the
people must lend vigorous, intelligent
help. For thot q holder stand and full
er explanation by the President is the
first requisite. Mr.. Roosevelt, busy as
he is with large questions Of strategy
on O dozen bottle fronts, cannot Of

front. As Robert Lincoln O'Brien has

tion, and that is perhaps the
first victory for the frequently
expressed opinion Of the Tru-
man investigating committee,
that there should be no dollar
o-yeor men in government.
The congressional theory is
that executives should sever
all business connections when
they come TO work for the
government, and toke solories
at the government rate, which
is usually q $4,000 per year
tops.

Severance Of private busi-
ness ties and acceptance Of q
regular government salary sell
dom removes the objection
which oppIies to dolIor-o-yeor
men, however, for in many
cases the executives company
poys the difference between
the government salary and the
old private business salary.
