Only the Beginning

In winters gone by the storm that visited the city Wednesday afternoon and evening would have been passed over lightly. The city and state would have had large forces of men and trucks out combating the snow and ice. And motorists would have regarded the storm as nothing much to get excited about. But things are different today. City and state aren't throwing great forces of men and trucks into a drive to keep streets and highways open and sanded. They do the best they can with whatever avail able manpower there is. And there isn't too much.
 And over and above that great many cars are now equipped with well-worn tires. No, they all aren't worn smooth, but a check-up would probably reveal that there are more tires with higher mileage on them being used today than in great many years past. And smooth tires don't give traction on a slippery pavement. Of course, streets can become so slippery that even brand-new tires with fine treads won't take hold, but they are certainly much better than a per pectly smooth or an almost smooth tread And that had lot to do with our slipping and sliding Wednesday.
 The situation won't get much better, if any, throughout the winter months. We can only hope and pray that this lSn't going to be one of those old-fashioned winters about which our elders speak and write. We could do without it very nicely this year and next, both for our fuel tanks and bins, as we'll as our motor vehicles. Conditions will have to be accepted just as they come, with a mini mum of grumbling or ranting about pub lie officials who aren't on their jobs. In a situation like the one we're going through such criticism does more harm than good.

No Smoking, Please

Over in New Britain Fire Chief William J. Noble has placed ban on smoking lh public places. It's just another after math of the terrible Boston night-club fire of some days ago. But this is very broad prohibition that the New Britain official is enforcing. He not only con- demns, smoking in public buildings as hazard, but he forbids the same in thea ters, restaurants taverns, stores, and any other places where large crowds gather. All of which is somewhat of job.
 To do this in every community would require a lot of changing of fire ordl- nances. While most cities have up-to-the- minute laws, there are just as many where it would require considerable legislating to forbid smoking in such places as taverns or restaurants. It has come to be generally acceptable that smoking ln such places is perfectly ok. And the same holds good, too, for stores, unless it so happens that the individual store proprietor has made his own rules.
 Smoking has come to be such a general thing in the United States that it's going to be hard to force very stiff restrictions down the throats of the people. Here and there a community will go i'll Strenuously for a smoking ban, but in the majority Of cases there1l be sufficient resentment against an almost total ban, such as IS now getting underway in New Britain. However, all these efforts are good ones, for they seek more protection for the pub- lie in places where crowds congregate. And such protection is needed to help fight the Seventh Column.

to salvage the remnants of the Democratic Party" This is strong language, in any party, especially when the head of the party sits in the White House. But there is growing dissatisfaction with the President himself in regard to party leadership, particularly the fact that he has given no cue for building up leadership for l944.
 Another resentment sure to flare up at the Omaha meeting is against the chief whipping boy of the Roosevelt administration, Leon
 Henderson.
 Probable plan is to form . agreement between Midwestern leaders and certain leaders in- side Congress to take more and
 more play away from the Presi- dent and put 1t back in the
 hands of the party.
 A growing underground move- ment has also started to make sure that when the Democratic National Committee meets, the new chairman will be the choice of party leaders, not be hand picked by FDR personally.

Equal Pay for Equal Work

In the abstract, there can be no quarrel with the theory that equivalent work is entitled to equal pay. The employees color or sex should not enter into the situation. Therefore the War Labor Boards decision, that women should be paid the same wages as men for doing the same types of work, will be acclaimed as proper and irreproachable.
 The claim will be made that, in this field at least, the VILE has acted to term mate an indefensible double standard. To an extent, that is correct. But there are qualifications which can hardly be recognized in enforcement. If women as a whole worked on the same basis as men, beyond doubt they should receive identical pay for identical work. un- fortunately for the employer, they do not.
 A large proportion of women take jobs merely to support themselves until they are married. Those who continue work ing after marriage in many instances are distracted by home duties. There is always the probability that at time over which the employers convenience has no control, the woman worker will quit her job, or ask for leave, to bear child. Labor turnover, tardiness, absence from the job are much higher among women than among men. While she is at her desk, her bench or her machine, Mary Smith may do as much and as good work as John Jones. But she is less dependable. Therefore she inn poses upon her employer financial bur den which ordinarily has been recognized through lower pay.
 The value of any worker to his or her employer, and therefore to Society through production must be a net value - the workers output. The training ot even relatively unskilled worker; the fitting of an individual into plants scheme; the provision of equipment which, in the workers absence, either lies idle or requires emergency provision of substl- ute; the extra personal facilities ordlnar- ily needed for women workers; all Of these involve expense which must be of1seV against the workers gross output.
 When an employer pays to women as a class the same wage that he pays to men as class, actually he is out-o1- pocket for having hired women. Presum- ably the WLB's action was war meas ure intended to promote the hiring or more women in order to release men TOT armed service and for the tasks women cannot perform. On that basis 1t IS to pc hoped that the industries affected still have enough margin of "proflt" to apsoro the extra cost, because price ceilings are not to be raised to absorb the increase.

Traitors Must Die

On first thought, it may seem hard that Max Haupt must die for not turning in his son, a Nazi saboteur landed by U-boat in this country. Family loyalty against the world is normal instinct, to be recognized and nourished. But the sordid philosophy for which Herbert Haupt worked was the first to de, stroy family solidarity deliberately and systematically, teaching children to betray their parents, husbands their wives, sisters their brothers, in order to stamp out even mental reservations against Nazism
 This is not an old-style war. This is fight to the death for the survival ot civilized decencies. Max Haupt decided to string along with Hitlerism. No pity should be wasted on him. He was traitor.

Let's Not Worry

Deep thinkers are worrying what would happen if, after the war, Henry Kaiser should continue building 10,000-ton mer- chantmen in four days and half, throw ing most shipyard workers out of jobs. Such worry isn't necessary. MT. Kaiser IS not building ships in four and half days. He is assembling them. The bulk of the work already has been done elsewhere.
 The Kaiser methods are invaluable Tn wartime, because without them we could not build the ships we need with the facli- ities we possess. But they aren't "sulcl- dal' in their saving of manpower.

Like most Moscow banQuetS for foreign dignitaries, the dinner was followed by a long series of toasts. The speakers were intro- duced by Foreign Minister Mo- lotoff, four interpreters scrubbed in notebooks, later translated into Russian or English.
 The thirtieth toast that evening fell to Joe Barnes, former news paper correspondent in Russia. now with the Office of War In- formation, and one of Willkie's advisers on the trip. The toasts had been long and were dragging. Barnes decided 1t was time to wake people up.
 So he spoke in Russian. It was the first time in his- tory of these formal banquets that a visiting American or Eng lishman had replied in Russian and 1t brought down the house. Stalin himself led the applause.
 Then Barnes turned to the in- terpreters and signaled for them to interpret in English. They were confused. So Stalin suggest ed that Barnes translate his own speech into his native tongue, which was naturally easy for him, and he did.
 GREATEST MAN IN WORLD
 Next Speaker introduced b@ Foreign Minister Molotoff was Gardner Mike" Cowles, associate publisher of the Des Moines Reg ister- Tribune and Look Magazine. Barnes had set the pace and Cowles faced the problem of out doing him. He began nobly.

Don't Travel

Notwithstanding the praiseworthy ef- fort of Elmer Davis to cut the volume of government publicity, presumably the White House has not been removed from the Office of Defense Transportation's list.
 In that event, perhaps Mrs. Roosevelt has seen the plea from Director Eastman: T urge you most earnestly to ask your self, before you purchase travel ticket or board bus or train, if you really need to make that trip. If you cannot answer that question in the affirmative, please do not go"

Selected Poem
MY CANARY OBLIGATO

MY CANARY OBLIGATO (By Charles L. H. Wagner in the Boston Post) When weary by the days turmoil, With restless fingers, Soft music play on ivory keys And lift my soul on high, And as strike responsive chords I hear euphonic trills And harmonies of liquid gold That my canary spills. No virtuoso ever played
 To nuances so sweet, An obligato, born of joy
 With quavering sounds replete, First trembling, then sustained and long, Then scaling heights of tone Beyond the range of human art And known to God, alone. The captive bird in cage of brass Blest with triumphant voice Has taught me, that, despite restraints, l can in song rejoice, Of that could in joy achieve Such melody devine That would perpetuate those strains That thrilled the heart of mine.

without parking lights on and doors unlocked, few persons knew there was any such rule. There seems to tss some doubt even now as to whether there actually is. or not.
 As to speed on the highways, there is little excuse for violation Of the 35- 5-miles-an-hour day limit. It is well known. Everyone who has sent to his rationing board list of the serial numbers of his tires has signed a pledge not to drive more than 35 miles an hour. Anyone travelling the main highways out side the city knows that tn --e have been comparatively few persons keeping their speed under 35 miles an hour.
 Now the State Traffic Commis- sion has established right limit of 30 miles an hour, which is high enough, considering the fact that illumination of the roads is greatly reduced by blacking of half the suy- face of headlight lenses. The city driving limit of 25 miles an hour at night also is reasonable.
