Detroit race riots. We can look for runaway price rise in whitewash beginning any day now.
 WHEN the Dallas (Texas) NesVs carried an ad offering a reward for information leading to the purchase of
 "A medium slice of rare prime
 roast with an area of "A
 inches, served hot, with or
 without trimmings" a New York woman replied that she had an l8-year-old COW she would sacrifice. ''I feel sorry for you," she wrote, s'and if you are unmarried, I will send you a pie ture."
 THE JAPANESE, hoping to in- crease the birth rate, are reported to be stimulating romance by bring ing likely couples together ''effec- lively and economically on hiking parties. Marriages made by the Son of Heaven, for a change.
 WIRE EDITORS of the Wash ington state AP loop enjoyed this one. Via teletype the LOnguieso Daily NesSs asked of the Daily Chronicle in Centralia: ''You have information on Moses funeraI?"
 Unable to find anything at all on the subject, the Chronicle tap ped back: ''Ungot any dead Moses in Centralia."
 Delicately limiting it would like the wire opened again, the Seattle bureau asked: ''Did you look in the bull-rushes?"
 THERE was time when it was believed s'everything that goes up is bound to come down." This Jack. son (Miss.) Daily NesUs headline, however, has changed things around (maybe it's the war): OPA HERE SAYS

 OSCAR DIMWIT: Smith and Connally must be glad their bill is passed. Now they can get on with the war.
 JOE UNIONMAN: Yeah! The war against labor.

mittee Of 10 Named In Hartford
Manpower Commission Has First Representative Of
 R. R. Brotherhoods

The Advisory Committee of the Hartford Area of the War Manpower Commission was completed this week with a ten-man setup, according to William c. Ennis, area director.
 Because Hartford has a special transportation problem not found in other Connecticut city areas a mem Der of the Railroad Brotherhoods and a representative of the trucking indus try have been placed on the commit tee.
 The complete committee is as follows:
 Labor-John J. Miller, Div. 425, Bus Drivers; Richard Kervick, Lodge 354, Machinists; Joseph Leeds, CLIO. Textile Workers; AL bert Watson, Local 265, United Electrical Workers, C.I.O.; and William Donoghue, general chair man of Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen, Hartford.
 Management-Charles V. Cook, executive vice-president, Royal Typewriter Co.,; William PurteII, president Billings & Spencer, Inc. 1; L. Edmund Zacher, president, Trav- elers Insurance Co.,; D. Hayes Mur- phy, president, Wiremold Co.,; and Edward Moody, president, Hartford Dispatch Co.
 Hartford is the last of the four crit ical W.M.C. areas in Connecticut to set up a labor-management commit tee. The other critical areas are New Britain, Waterbury and Bridgeport.
 Failure of the Hartford County Manufacturers Association to CO., operate win the W.M.C. in its effort to establish the advisory committee has been responsible for a delay of three months in getting the committee established.
 Ennis stated that since the commit tee has been established he felt that a stabilization plan for the area would be ready to send to Boston for ap- proval within the next 10 days.

Here's A Pay Hike Sure
 To Bring Us Imitation

WASHINGTON.-The War Food Administration last week had this proud announcement to make: That laborers in the sugar cane area (Lou- isiana and Florida) were going to get pay raises of 16%o.
 The only catch to the whole thing is that the sugar cane workers in Louisiana under the new rates now make 20c an hour (17c for women) And, further, it's a nine-hour day, and the daily pay now runs into the box car figures of $1.75 ($1.50 for wo- men).
 But in Florida, the rates are even better. Here male sugar cane workers make 26c an hour (22c for women) Children working in the Louisiana fields now earn 17c an hour and a nickel more in Florida.

By ROBERT B. BICKEL

A NUMBER of the boys in the Ia- bOr movement in Bridgeport look upon Rep. Clare BoOthe Luce with mingled emotions. They love her for her voting for pro-Iabor bills. but their feelings are reversed whenever she opens up on Pres. Roosevelt, the greatest friend labor has had in the White House since Alb Lincoln. It is generally agreed that Clare's peculiar and somewhat inconsistent actions can be de- scribed as political campaigning.
 TOM SHEA, assistant secretary of the Conn. Federation of Labor. says what pity it is that guy like Pegler doesn't direct his vitriolic efforts against licking Hitler instead organized labor. We might win the war much sooner. To which we all say ''Amen''.
 A NEW YORK magistrate recently attributed juvenile delinquency to Mrs. ROosevelt's advice that youths should develop their personaIi- ties." Poor Mrs. FOR! The only thing she hasn't been blamed for in recent years is the eruption of Vesuvius, the Chicago fire and the discovery of Mussolini.
 x
 HAS GOV. BALDWIN rescinded his War Order No. 2, as was prom ised the state legislators when they took action on the 55-Hour Work Law for women workers? This writ CT made several attempts to get this information in Hartford. No- body in the State Capitol seemed to know. The Governor has signed the 55-hOur amendment and has in- structed the Labor Commissioner to investigate all cases thoroughly be- fore granting to extend working hours for women. The Labor Com missioner, however, says he doesn't know what MT. Baldwin has done in regards to the controversial War Or der. Neither does anyone else in Hartford, it seems.
 GEORGE A. JOSLYN, business agent of Local 40, Sheet Metal Workers and member of the Ad- visory Board of the Connecticut MIA, did his part to save the national agency. This week the Senate voted Al to 37 to continue the youth administration which the House vOtd to kill last week. JosIyn sent letters to Representatives Monkeweicz, Compton and to Sem ators Danaher and MaIoney, asking their full support of the MIA.

'Soboteurs
Of Spirit

Commerce, Tex, Aug. 6-(UP)-
Speaker Sam Rayburn, D., Tex. to-
day coined a word -Grumlins- with
which to describe minority party
of critics and grumblers. 'saboteurs
of the spirit on the home front,
who are blood brothers of the Air
Corps Gremlins.
In an address to fellow alumni of
Mayo College, from which he re-
ceived an honorary degree, Rayburn
upheld the right of civilians to
criticize the noisy, squabble- ridden
home front, but denounced the
habit of grumbling.
He defined Grumlin as:
"A fellow who drinks his morning
orange juice, cats his cereal and his
two eggs and toast while he looks
at pictures in the newspapers prop
ped before him--a picture of a smil-
ing American boy who has had his
arm blasted off in a gun turret of
flying fortress over the jungles of
New Guinea. and, as he sips his
coffee, this Grumlin feels sorry for
himself and fuses at his wife be-
cause she has used up all the red
stamps and can't serve him any
bacon!"
Fortunately, Rayburn continued,
there is probably not more than one
Grumlin in 100 Americans.
1--WE imagine there are more" he
said, because the main features of
Grumlin are big mouth and a
loud voice one CrIlm1jn can
make more noise than SO Americans
who are busy using their strength
on the job of winning the war;

Plea Averts
WoIk-Out

Philadelphia, Aug. 6. - CUP -
Dramatic appeal by a union official
who has son in the service averted
strike that would have tied up the
100 per cent war production of the
Quaker City Iron Works, 1t was re-
vealed today.
Production at the plant was
scheduled to halt last Monday.
Members of the Tank and Body
Builders Union had voted a strike
to protest seven-month delay by
= the War Labor Board on their petit
ton for a 10 per cent wage increase.
Charles Daggert, veteran of
World War who gave up his salary
as a local union president when he
returned to his old trade of welder
at the beginning of World War II,
was troubled by the threatened
work stoppage.
He has a soldier son, Albert, 10
stationed at Fort Lewis, Wash, and
he had a friend, Jimmy Morris, who
died In North Africa.
Friday afternoon Daggert walked
into the Office Of Plant Superintend-
ent Robert Wilson. "I'd like to call
meeting" he said. ok" Wilson
said.
No Flag Waving
The workers filed into an area
way as Daggert jumped upon y
boiler.
I'm not going to give you any
patriotic spiel and wave the flag"
he said. you've had the flag waved
in front of you for seven months to
keep you on the job"
He mentioned the SO men in the
plant who were in the service, one
of them dead and % unheard from
for a long time.
"We're working them, our own
boys" he said. "All of you have
sons, brothers, husbands in the SER
vice. Walk out and you walk out
on them.
you'll walk out on Jimmy Nor
ris. You worked right beside him
and you remember how he left to
become a flyer and you remember
what happened to him. How he pi-
loted a bomber on an important
mission over the Mediterranean,
How the plane came back and the
crew got out and started walking
away and then they noticed Jimmy
wasn't there. You remember how
they found him in the plane fatally
wounded. He just landed the plane
and died"

In Invasion

Allied headquarters, North Africa,
Aug. 6-CUP)-The Allies used 1886

envy bombers on July 10 was the

tain. 1t had been illuminated in &C
cordance with the Geneva conven-
ton. There was considerable loss
of life"
