RATION OUTLOOK
FOR IA BRIGHT
By THE ASSOCIATED PRESS

BY THE ASSOCIATED PRESS
WASHINGTON, Dec. 30,-Civil-
ian consumers got a peek at the
official 1914 rationing calendar to-
day and prospects looked good for
a greater abundance of some foods
and home appliances.
While the new year predictions
from various government agencies
indicated even greater scarcity of
some goods, they assured the first
important resump ion of civilian
manufa curing since the war start
ed.
Briefly, this is the outlook:
The War Production Board au.
thorized manufacture Of 1000, 0OC
electric irons and $4,000 bathtubs
in 1944-the first since early 1912
when production was stopped to
preserve short supplies of strate
gic metals.
The Office of Price Administra
ton removed canned green ane
wax beans and a number of frozer
fruits and vegetables from ration
ing in January. Point values were
lowered on canned tomatoes ane
peas.
On the other side, OPA valued
rationed jams, preserves and mar
lalades at two more points g
pound.
The War Food Admin stration'
order settling aside cold storage
stocks of chickens for the armed
services is expected to shorten the
supply of chicken for homes, res
taurants and hotels.

By RAYMOND CLAPPER

WASHINGTON. - After a visit
among the men at the front, Gen.
eral Eisenhower expressed amaze
ment at the way American and
British soldiers had adapted them
selves to the miserable fighting
conditions in Italy.
The soldiers are up to their
knees in mud.
They can't demand a raise. They
can't. pull a strike.
They just have to take it. Why?
AS a punishment for some crime?
No. Those American boys e
over there taking it in the mud
so that the United States will be
safe from outside attack.
How are we here at home adapt
ing ourselves to the war in order
to help those men get it over with
as quickly as possible?
Do you read the Strike news
with those questions in our mind?
When you read of hundred thou
sand steel workers walking out,
you are reading about hundred
thousand men who given a damn
for nothing except to get h a t
raise of II cents an hour.
For II cents an hour they are
willing to tie up one of the most
necessary of all war industries.
For fewer cents than that, thou
sands of railroad workers threat
ened to tie up the railroads.
How is it that men can become
so avaricious, so greedy for a
handful OF coins tia tthey-many
of them with sons of their own
fighting at the front-can lie down
on the Army and the Navy? How
can a few cents day induce men
to go to such lengths as to par
alyze the war
That is what it is. These men
are saying: Give us those extra
pennies or we will stop your damn
ed war. You pay us or you'll see
how far you can go with this
war"
That is what the strikers and
those who threaten to strike are
saying. They are not saying it
in words. They are saying it in
something far more effective than
words-they are saying it with ac-
tions.
don't believe they have thought
it through. They listen to labor
politicians. They look back to the
old days when labor had to fight
to get justice. They are still I'M
der the spell of habits and meth
DDS adopted when the only way
a high-handed employer could be
brought to time was to shut up
his shop.
But these are not really strikes
against employers. In a ct the
railroads are ready to grant the
wage increases asked. These are
strikes against tn e Government.
These are strikes by people against
themselves, These are strikes
against the Little Steel Formula
OF the War Labor Board. These
are strikes against the effort of
the Government to prevent rum
away wages and runaway prices,
those twin evils which always race
toward initiation hand in hand.
These are. strikes against the
best friend labor ever had in the
White House-against the man who
mas been damned for a decade in
every country club in America,
damned because he was friend
OF labor, damned because he was
Trying to bring about 6 fair deal
TOT labor, and because he curbed
the avarice of the rich.
Now when the interests of the
nation require that he curb the

Her eyes are steady with telief in God.
She smiles a little as she turns away,
Breathing promise for each coming day;
And We've pause little while to pray.
