EVEN II WE WEREN'T AT WAR

In q dspossionote, unvornished statements or
s,.+e Elmer Davis hos made it clear that james
PetriIIos ban on musical records is blow at our war
nrooron,-thot Notwithstanding Mr.. Petrllo's tor
statements of intention actually he is obstruct'n9
the fight against the oxls
There are some hundreds Of radio stations which
could not exist without "conned music he Oftoe
of War information uses these stations as outlets o''o
would miss them if they we're closed
Moreover our soldiers, sailors, marines and toe
torv workers are obtaining valuable recreation from
luke box music in places thot could not, by any
stretch of Imagination be suspected Of financial ob'-
ity to hire musicians for personal appearances.
And surely Mr. PetriIlo does not expect individual
families to hire name orchestros when they feel the
uroe to brighten up the home with q bit OF synoco-
notion or few tunes from the classics.
These arguments have validity and weight, but
somehow thew do not stir us as much TOR example,
as the toIe Of the Mobile shpyord that was closed two
doys because the workmen objected to paying cents
q day ferry toll.
We are perturbed by the strictly nonwor aspects
of Mr. Petrio's ban musical records.
Mr. PetriIIo is not fighting employers who have
been unfair to oborers to their union. He is at
tempting, sneIe-honded, to stop the whole progress
Of technology.
The complaint of Mr. Petro is, frankly, that
mechonizotion which makes music available to
those who otherwise could not have it, is throwing
union musicians out Of work.
Assembly line methods made it possible to make
on automobile with much less labor than before
Did thot throw men out Of work? Not at oll 1t
made more customers for the cheaper, better auto
mobiles, and erected enormous new employment
The same is true Of every field Of manufacture.
Every lobor-sovine invention has opened up new jobs,
made possible higher pay, and given to thousands or
millions the obi|ity to have what before had been
prohibtvey expensive
Thot is the whole secret Of American prosperity.
Thot is why worknen get higher pay, have better
homes trove more cot better, can educate their
children.
But Mr.. Petro is oein progress. He won't stond
for it, He would rather throw thousands Of his SUBJ
jects out Of work than see music made available in
the American way.

Nationwide gasoline rat.oning
the rubber conservation measure
recommended by the Baruch
committee, may go into effect
as early as Nov. Is. Nothing is
final yet, but that is the date ten
tatively agreed upon. Big prob
lem is getting the ration books
printed and distributed, rationing
boards set up, and car owners
registered.
When nationwide rationing
does go into effect, there will be
further changes in the plan now
operating in the eastern states
where gas rationing is already
in effect. Principal change will
probably be a marked reduction
in the number of &C" permits is
sued. and further restriction in
the amount of gas issued to C
card holders. Reason is simply
that there have been too many
abuses of c privileges. Nation
wide rationing will attempt to
correct them.
Provisions on fuel oil ration
ing are gradually being worked
out. Every possible contingency
is being considered and every OBJ
lection to every restriction is be-
ing weighed TO prevent repeti-
ton of the yowls brought on by
the first gasoline rationing code.
Present indications are that
the areas where fuel oil ration
ing will go into effect will be di-
vided into five temperature
zones, graded according to the
severity of the sual winter
weather experienced in each
zone.
On an average, home owners
burning fuel oil in their furnaces
may expect to get about rs per
cent as much oil as they got last
winter. But last winter was
above average in mildness, so
allowances have to be worked
out to give more fuel oil if this
winter should turn out to be
more severe than last, less fuel
oil if this winter should be
even warmer than last. The mar
gins being considered to take
care of these alternatives is 10
per cent of last years consump-
ton, up or down. Thus the home
owner would get from 65 per
cent to 80 per cent of his last
years fuel consumption, depend
ing on the weather.

. BEHIND THE SCENES
IN WASHINGTONe

Home owners who have done
everything possible to insulate
their houses by means of window
and door strips, wall insulation,
storm windows and so on, may
be given extra fuel allowances.
This may look funny at first,
but the idea is to encourage
every home owner with a nom
convertible fuel oil heating
unit to do everything he can to
cut down on fuel consumption.
This extra allowance for in
sulation is therefore a bonus for
cooperation.
To keep this from being con-
sidered a provision favoring the
rich who can afford to insulate,
an option may have to be pro-
vided here to take care of home
owners who can't afford storm
windows. Best idea SO far is that
if the home owner can prove to
his rationing board that he
can't afford the luxuries of in
sulation, he'll get the extra fuel
anyway.
But for the home owner who
can but doesn't convert his fuel
oil burner to coal burning, little
if any mercy will be shown.
That lady whose likeness ap-
pears on the emblem of the
WAACS is, according to Army
authorities, PallaS Athene, or
Athena. If you recall your my
theology, Athena was an Olym-
plan civic goddess, wise in the
industries of peace and the arts
of war. The Greeks believed she
sprang from the brow of
Zeus, who had swallowed her
mother.
Aside from that had you
heard that one unofficial sug-
gestion for the WAAC mascot
dominates the "Waaccoon"?
LBS APPLYING
Announcement that the Army
would grant non-combat service
commissions to a number of men
classified as lib, or with slight
physical handicaps making them
unsuitable for active duty, has
brought in a flood of requests as
to how such men might get to
be officers.
First requirement Is that the
man must be drafted, indicted
into the service, and undergo
the basic 13 weeks training CIV
en- to all Army rockies. While
these I-B S take this basic train
ing they may make application
for admission to the new Adj
ministrative Candidate Schools.
