though there wasn't any dialogue,
Mae declared, Il was able to figure
Catherine out from the way she
thought, her mind and her manner.
"She had a tricky mind, a terrific
sense of humor, and enough brains
to know what to do with her beauty.
She ruled men with one hand and
her country with the other. She was
smart enough to play the boys one
against the other. Could out
smart them every time.
Catherine the Great was much
the same as Diamond Lii, only on
a higher plane. She had a lot OF
appeal"
This Illuminating talk with Mae

Her hair is the blondest in Holly

shoulder length bob. Her skin is
peaches and cream.
Her topazes almost knocked my

jeweled Oriental hairdresses, tur-

"One of my favorite scenes in the
picture is my arrival at the capital

LIBERTY ship YARDS
CUT CONSTRUCTION
Time, SIXTY-SIX DAYS

Washington, ID. C. (ILNS).-Amer-
ican shipyards engaged solely in con-
struction of Liberty ships brought the
average time from keel-laying to de-
livery down to &C days per ship in
October, the Maritime Commission
announced.
Compared with the original con-
tract requirement of 105 days for the
completion of Liberty ships, the Oc-
tober average is another indication
that the original goal of 100000
tons of new shipping by the end of
this year will be met, the commission
said The previous average pro-
duction time was 7001 days per ship
in September.
To date nine out of the IL yards
now producing the emergency cargo
vessels are under the 105-day figure
while the other two are rapidly re-
ducing their production time.

sire for closer teamwork between the
officials who guide the destinies of
the Navy Department and the repre-
sentatives of organized labor who
work for the Navy.
Il hereby pledge to Secretary
Bard and to the great branch of
Americas fighting forces that he
represents the fullest and broad
est cooperation of the six mil
lion members of the American
Federation of Labor.
"It is our conviction, based upon
experience over many years, the eff
cheney in production can come only
from real understanding and team
work between management and labor.
In this case, the management comes
from the United States Navy. That
management in the past has not al
ways been ready and willing to under
stand or to give heed to labor's prob
lens. Fortunately, that attitude has
now been changed.
Labor Achievements Considerable
eve now find the high ranking
officials of the Navy eager to talk
things over with the representatives
of labor, anxious to bring about har-
mony and quite willing to give open
recognition to the achievements of
the nations workers in furtherance
of the Navy's war effort.
''These achievements to date have
been considerable. The largest war
ships are being launched many
months ahead of schedule. Destroy
ers are now being built in six months
less time than formerly. Warships
damaged in battles with the enemy
are being repaired with miraculous
speed.
"This is the kind of service the
Navy needs and demands in order to
win. But I'll promise you one thing
that all the accomplishments of the
past will pale by comparison with
what labor is going to achieve in the
months TO come with the friendly
support and cooperative encourage
ment of the Navy.
Speaking for the six million work
ers of the American Federation OF
Labor, | say they want to be recog-
nized as shipmates Of the men in the
Navy. Teamed together, they will
most certainly wipe the seas clear Of
the enemy"

High Productive Capacity to Make
Plenty For All Possible After
War, Stuart Chase Declares
Full Employment Held Vital Goal; Chase Outlines Needs
And Resources; Permanent Employment After
War; Cites Increased Industrial Capacity

New York City (ILNS).-Amer
lea probably will emerge from the
war with her productive capacity at
the highest levels in history, making
it easily possible for private enter
prise and government enterprise to
cooperate in providing adequate mini
mum living standards for everybody
in the country.
This is one of the major conclusions
reached by Stuart Chase, noted econo-
mist, in one of series of six special
reports analyzing Americas postwar
problems that the Twentieth Century
Fund is issuing. The current report
is entitled, Goals for America; Bud
get of Our Needs and Resources.
Goals for America Set Forth
Discussing the proper use of the
nations greatly enlarged productive
capacity, Chase says:
eve in the democracies have
got to find permanent way to
give our citizens q sense OF func
ton, of belonging to the commun-
ity. In this total war we are
achieving both. After the war
the process must go on"
Specifically, Chase says we must
provide minimum standards for all
our citizens in what he calls the big
Five"-food, clothing, housing, educa-
tion and health care. These he re-
CARDS as goals for America, and after
making detailed estimates of our ma
tional needs and our productive re-

Gates the replacement of men by
women, according to recent surveys of
restaurants in New York City, retail
stores in 18 cities and resort hotels
in 10 counties, made by the Division
of Women in Industry and Minimum
Wage, New York State Department
of Labor.
More than 800 restaurants in New
York City which employed no women
or minors a year ago were revisited
to ascertain replacement of men by
women. Sixteen percent of them
were found to be employing women,
the report disclosed
Similarly, in the resort areas, de-
spite gas rationing and other difficult
ties and although the number of hotels
had decreased slightly in 1912, the
number of women and minors had in
creased from 1896 to 1928. One
hundred twenty-five hotels which had
no women or male minors, employed
them in 1912 and 124 new resort no.

SMALLER CONCERNS
GET ORDERS AS
MONOPOLY BROKEN

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) ).-Score
one for the campaign to give Govern
ment contracts to smaller manufac-
turers.
An order under which two big
manufacturers enjoyed a virtual
monopoly" in the making of ready
made uniforms for Naval officers will
be cancelled by the Navy Department,
the Senate Small Business Commit
tee announced.
The Navy's action followed criti-
cism by members of the Senate COM
mittee that discrimination was being
practiced against smaller business
concerns.
Announcing receipt of notice from
the Navy Department that the eX-
elusive contracts of Cohen Goldman &
Co., New York City and Joseph &
Feiss, Cleveland, would be rescinded,
the committee said:
"Navy officials are now at work on
a new plan which will spread orders
for officers uniforms among many
of the smaller concerns that were
squeezed out by the drastic terms of
the original arrangement"
The nature of the new plan was not
disclosed
Questioned at committee hearing
three weeks ago, Capt. F. P. Della
hanty, in charge of the Navy's cloth
ing division, admitted that the policy
of supplying officers uniforms had
been adopted after consideration of
the matter from all angles, perhaps,
except the matter of the small
dealer"
Stanley j. Cummings, executive sec
retary of the National Association of
Uniform Makers, told the committee
that the two firms had never spe-
cialized in service uniforms {. yet
became by official designation the
sole official source of uniforms for
all commissioned and non-commis-
stoned Navy officers.
Capt. Delahanty said he had been
moved by two considerations pro
lection to Navy personnel and cost tc

sources he says, "Our survey, rough
as it is, indicates that all elements
are available in America to meet the
standards we have suggested-an
considerably more"
Teamwork Held Needed
Full employment, full production
and minimum living standards must
become "fixed central goals" of gov
ernment and private enterprise, the
report continues. To achieve them,
there must be teamwork between the
two forces, it adds.
Chase foresees great opportunities
for private enterprise, but warns that
business men must expect many
changes in the postwar world.
every business man in the coun-
try should start thinking about it
now," he advises.
Mixed Economy" Seen Coming
eve are, | think, heading deeper
into a mixed economy, where govern
ment takes the responsibility of over
all planning for full employment" he
says, "but where big business, little
business, cooperative associations,
and that vast zone of non-profit en-
terprises churches, clubs, founda-
tions, universities and the like all
share the field. In such an economy
citizens should keep their attention
fixed on ends to be served and use
whatever means seem best to achieve
them"

tells all had women and minors.
In retail stores in 18 cities in vari-
Gus parts of the state, the trend from
men to women was even more appar-
ent, with 18,068 women and minors
employed in 1908 stores as against
16,527 last year. The survey showed
that the number of men employed in
these establishments dropped from
1922 in 1941 to 1882 in 1912. The
retail establishments included de-
partment stores, shoe stores, drug
stores, grocery stores, restaurants
and meat markets.
Women have replaced men as op-
ticians, cashiers, ushers in theatres,
window trimmers, drug clerks, stock
clerks, bakers, porters and in many
other occupations. Male minors were
replacing men as janitors, door men,
delivery boys and sales clerks in groc-
cry stores.
Miss Kate Papert, director of the
Division of Women in Industry and
Minimum Wage, also pointed out that
service establishments were increas-
ing since the war began. In October
alone, in the six industries under
minimum wage orders, there was a
net gain of 156 new plants. These
industries include: Laundry, beauty
shop, confectionery, cleaning and dye
ing, restaurant, and hotel. Miss
Papert attributes this increase to the
fact that such services are in great
demand because of increased employ
ment and increased purchasing power
generally.

new SCHEDULE FOR
MOST STATE STORES

Columbus-Effectiv Monday, No
vember 16, 1912, the stores, retail and
retail-wholesale, of the Department of
Liquor Control will observe the fol-
lowing hours:
Week days-12:00 noon until 500
P. M.
Saturdays-12:00 noon until 900
P. M.
The hours for the solely wholesale
stores will remain unchanged.
This step has been made necessary
because of the acute personal condi-
tion in the metropolitan areas. Due
to the demands for personnel in war
industries it has proved to be virtual
ly impossible to secure sufficient help
to man adequately the stores on a
longer schedule. Therefore, the indi-
Gated change becomes imperative.

Six Million Members to Give Navy
Fullest and Broadesf Backing
Green Tells Secretary Bard
Utmost AFL Cooperation Pledged-Reviews Work OF
AFL of Other Years - Education Big Factor In
Organized Labor; Achievements Considerable

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). -"The
fullest and broadest" cooperation of
the 100000 members of the Ameri-
can Federation Of Labor was pledged
to the Navy and its fighting forces
by William Green, AFL president, in
a Labor For Victory" program heard
over the National Broadcasting Sys-
tenn.
President Green voiced labor's as
surance in responding to Ralph A.
Bard, Assistant Secretary of the
Navy, who spoke on the same pro-
gram. Bard warmly praised the
American shipyard worker and called
Navy executives and representatives
of union labor.
Citing the work of the American
Federation of Labor in its earlier
years, Bard declared that 'many of
the good things we take today for
granted came to life as result of
AFL agitation of other years" He
briefly reviewed the work of the AFL
in spreading free education, in de-
velopment of labor legislation, in en-
actment of public safety and health
laws and in bringing other social
gains.
Labor Again Imperiled
Today" Bard continued, "a grown
up labor movement, with its early
great victories dimmed in the rush of
history, is again facing a world as
strange and as hostile as the world
that first greeted organizers in the
last century, who were harried from
one whipping post to another by jun
gle law of our early and expanding
industrial kingdom.
"The threat OF your existence and
your future comes today not from
Americas industrialists but from a
bloodthristy crew of ruthless and des-
perate men, who are storming our
gates and who say that the world can
not exist half slave and half free and
that they, not the freemen, must pre-
vail, because their God is the uncon-
querable God of force and pillage.
Labor's Responsibility Cited
In ending Bard said that increased
production is the chief responsibility
of labor now "The record of your
accomplishments" he added, "will de-
termine your right to leadership in
the making of the peace"
Responding to Bard, President
Green said:
The United States Navy today is
one of the largest employers of labor
in America. Hundreds of thousands
of members of the American Fedora
tion of Labor are working for the
Navy directly and millions more in
directly. Therefore, | was pleased
beyond words to hear Assistant Secre-
tary of the Navy Ralph A. Bard ex-
press such an earnest and sincere de-
