Taft Proposes Truce
Between Parties on

Military Effort
BY the Associated Press.

oy the hSsOCldteu freSS.
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio,
proposed today that Democrats and
Republicans agree to a truce under
which controversies over existing or
proposed social legislation could be
eliminated for the duration of the
war.
Declaring the military effort
ought not to be used as an excuse
either to seek new social changes or
to repeal major measures of this
nature already enacted, Senator
Taft said he thought both parties
would do we'll to concentrate on
attempts to increase the efficiency
of the war production program.
The Senator said his suggestion
for a political truce on these do
mestic issues was prompted by re-
ports that Attorney General Biddle
recently had urged gathering OF
administration supporters to do
their best to prevent the junking
of New Deal social legislation dur
ing the war.
Il think both parties ought to
agree to preserve the status quo on
social legislation as much as pos
Sible,' Senator Taft told reporters
This is not the time to be seeking
further changes in our domestic
economy nor should the war effort
be used to cancel some of the things
that already have been done.
For instance" he continued, II
am opposed to repeal of the 40-hour
week law. But, on the other hand
I don't believe the vital necessity for
production of war equipment should
be used to enforce provisions Of con-
tracts calling for the payment of
double time for Sunday work.

those provisions were written into

WOn'l Adhere
Before Painting Make Sure
Surface Is Clean

No matter how high quality the
paint, il can not be expected 10
adhere permanently TO a surface
which is wet, frosty, dirty or
greasy when the paint is applied.
The only sensible course is TO
make sure that the surface is
clean and dry and that the tenn
perature is not lower that 4o
degrees when the paint is put on.
This is especially essential in
wartime when materials and labor
spent in repainting should not be
wasted by uselessly repeating a
