The Waterbury Democrat. [volume] (Waterbury, Conn.) 1917-1946, 1943-06-22

Although the President didn't
come cut and say so Ilatly, his re-
marks were calculated to show
that the United States eventually
will have to come around to ~
total mobiliza lion of labor and (2)
price subsidies to reduce prices
The President pointed out that
there was no such thing as a criti-
cal labor shortage in essential
British industries such as can
neries. All British labor had
been modified to meet the emer-
gency, he said, and could be
moved about wherever most need
ed.
He pointed out that the British
government controlled and direct
er all industry farming, man
ufacturing, distribution and pro-
cessing. "They tell labor and man
agement what to do, and when
and how to do it," he added.
The Presidents ideas met with
varied reactions. Republican
Senator McNary of Oregon and
House Republican Joe Martin of
Massachusetts opposed price sub
sidation. So did Senator WAL
ter George of Georgia, chairman
of the Finance Committee, and
COP Representative James Wads-
worth of New York. On the other
hand, New Deal Senator James
F. Guffey of Pennsylvania was
opposed to the total mobilization.
When his callers finally had a
chance to propose the appointment
of an overall food "czar', the
President replied that this step
was no longer necessary because
of the recent establishment of the
Office of War Mobilization, headed
by Justice Byrnes. He said the
OWN should be given a chance to
work, and he deprecated warnings
by several of his visitors that the
United States might face a food
shortage before the war ended.
He maintained there would be
enough caTOries" to sustain the
civilian population if food were

properly distributed and the ma
tional diet properly balanced.
McNARY WINS A POINT
The only Congressional caller
who came away from the White
House with any real concession
was Charley McNary, the cham
pion of the Gamers. McNary
first asked for an increase in
ceiling prices for canned goods. To
this the President replied:
"Then Mr.. Murray and Mr..
Green will come along with de-
mands for higher wages"
He went on to emphasize once
more how the British had held
their food costs down. At this
point Justice Jimmy Byrnes inter-
posed polite interruption.
I'm sorry, Mr.. President, but
have to disagree with you
there" he said and explained
that the British situation was
not at all analogous to ours.
"They don't raise much food
over there" he pointed out.
get it from u.s."
Byrnes gave brief but detailed
exposition during which the
President listened carefully. His
only remark was: winston told
me they handled that very well
over there"
Upshot of the conversation was
that Byrnes was asked to talk to
the War Labor Board about per-
hitting an increase in wages for
cannery workers, so the Gamers
could compete with the high wages
paid in shipyards and airplane
plants.
AGE AND YOUTH
Patriotic Ferd Eberstadt, who
has been trying to get into active
military service ever since he re-
signed as vice-chairman of the
War Production Board, had SEES
sion with venerable Secretary of
War Stimson recently.
Eberstadt has refused various
non combat war jobs, has wanted
to get into the fighting. How
ever, he Is SO, just three years
too old, and the Army has OBJ
jected. When Eberstadt took his
to Stimson, however, the Secretary
of War upheld his subordinates.
you're too old" Stimson re-
piled firmly.
II thought that age didn't
matter" shot back Eberstadt

Spy Thriller

We hope that Congress does release the
sealed records of that 1O-year-old investi-
cation into japanese espionage and prep
artionS for invasion. It was Squelched
at the time, so as not to hurt Tokyos feel
ings. 1t ought to make thrilling reading
now.
When the facts are available we can
judge what, if anything, was done to
counteract the conditions that were re-
vealed. 1t is to be assumed that the G.
men could have used the information.

a smile at the 75-year old Sec
rotary of War.
"After ALL" he continued, 'I'm
no older than you were when
served in your regiment in the
last war"
But the records show that when
Stimson served as colonel in the
305th Field Artillery in World War
1, he was SO years old and just
within the combat age deadline.
Eberstadt who was captain in
the same regiment, is now three
years over that, so definitely will
not get combat duty.

Why Argue the Obvious

1t would sound strange to hear Mr.. Henry
Kaiser stand up and argue that ships
were essential to the war effort. Fortu-
nately, he doesn't have to. Everyone
knows it. But there are industries just
as essential as shipbuilding, whose war
time operating difficulties are immensely
aggravated because their essentially has
uever been adequately recognized
Such an industry is retail distribution.

right makes might; and in that
faith let us to the end dare to do
our duty as we understand it, This
was the philosophy which underlay
his outlook on life and his public
and private policies.
Everyone has the opportunity
once in a while to make some per-
sonal gain through a little COM
promises. The temptation is always
to relinquish certain high standards
temporarily because the end seems
to justify the means. 1t takes a great
deal of courage to decide against
what appears to be ones best in
| terests. But if we can just remember
that there Is mighty tide in the
universe moving in the direction of
Righteousness and that our little
personal enterprises, which seem
only like chips on an ocean wave,
will be borne along in that great
tide, we can do the right thing, no
matter how much 1t costs or how
much it hurts, and can leave the
issue in the hands of God. Some
how everything works out right If
we are right in our motives and
acts. Right makes might, and this
because a righteous God still rules
the universe.

When the family gathers at Sum day dinner, remind theni that the wartime food they are about to eat will do them more good if they en- Joy 1t. Tell them that they need not starve to death but that they may almost Starve on their preju- dices. If they won't change some of their "set" food habits, then they will lower their nutritional standards during the war, and also materially impair their health and their working strength.
 It's one thing for a man to boast in peacetime that he would never eat tripe, brains, kidneys, or any of the other highly delicious and uutritionally important meat special ties which are not limited. But in wartime, when 1t is his patroitic duty to his country and his family to keep his health, then such boast is almost minor treason.
 Cooks Go to School
 or course, part of the story lies with the cook. It is just as much her duty to learn to cook the available and often unfamiliar foods well as it is the duty of the family to eat every forkful. That's why she should attend some course in wartime cooking. You'll find them in every community. Most of them are free.
 The time has passed with the old days of peace - when it was enough for a woman to have a few standard recipes and desire to feed her family well. Today, it is im- possible to keep her family well fed with rationing, limited sup plies and other conditions unless she has the scientific guidance of experts. Newspapers give this guidance in their daily columns. Study them and then plan your meals. Buy new cook books based on wartime conditions, AND at- tend some school where modern nutrition and marketing under wartime conditions are taught.

 Tn Canned Fruit Point Values

wait until April before you spend any of the April points. Chances are that the large cans Of fruit juices which require great many points will be reduced, But the ob" feet, OPA points out, is not to de- plete grocers' stocks but to steer buying toward the fresh vegetables and fruit stands. ,.,
 In this way canners' stocks VIII be large enough to take care oI consumers when fresh foods pe" come scarce.
 RESTAURANTS
 Rationing for restaurants Is done on a tWo-month basis. This means that, unlike housewives, restau- rateurs who do not divide their points efficiently may be ration-Sny at the end of every two-month ra- ton period instead of every montn'
 OPA officials are worried for fear that many of the restaurants are still serving pre-ratlon foods ana that unless servings are curtatleo' in about five weeks, these reStau- rants will be without food until they receive theilr new ratioflS.
 RAISINS
 Though the point value of raisins has already been halved since ra- tioning started, expect further cuts in point value. At the present point cost housewives are not buying rai- sins and unless stocks are sold be. fore hot weather sets ir. officials fear that there may be a good deal of spoilage.

 This is the fourth of series of 12 articles on the new laws of contract bridge.
 Because of the importance of the condonement law, I want to give you an example of 1t in the bidding as well as in the play. Under the old laws, when you made an msuf- hcient bid and attention was called to 1t, you had to correct 1t. Today's hand will show you how it works under the new code.
 North made an insufficient bid of one heart over South's one spade. East immediately called attention to the insufficient bid, but said, T wish to condone the bid of one heart"-and proceeded to bid two diamonds.
 East's hand is not strong enough to come in the bidding at the three-diamond level. But if he can get the bid in at the two-level, he believes 1t may direct West to open 6 diamond, and that lead may de- feat a contract of four hearts.
 Under the new laws East has a perfect right to bid two diamonds. If North and South get to four hearts, they will have to lose three diamonds and a heart trick. If East had not been able to bid two dia- monds, West probably would make the natural opening of the jack of clubs, in which case a couple of the losing diamonds could be discarded on good spades.

No apologies for using wartime cosmetics wisely, pleasel
 True, many pre.war hand lotions were made of glycerlne, which now ls critical stuff for your lads over wonder; but, your hand lotion now very likely ls made with lanolin, by-product of your lads wool uni forms.
 Uncle sam and the beauty busl- ness have the situation in hand vital materials are restricted; when product is on the counter, you can feel pretty certain its there to be bought and used, periodically. Na- turally, that means using things economically, buying only what you need and using 1t effectively. Cos. metics houses will help the warwise woman to do this.
 She will find in her labels, now, and she'll find more of this in the future, specific directions telling how little she needs to use at once to use her toiletries effectively. A famous liquid stocking, for example, will come out next summer with emphasis by the maker on the fact that Q pour" in your palm the size of a half a dollar is enough.
 One of the largest makers Of fine cosmetics now Is bla1onlng the message: it's okay to buy cosmetics and to conserve them. Here are some good specific tips:
 Buy dependable products instead of taking shots in the dark. Buy large sizes, helping to save packing materials. Be sure to keep them at proper temperatures, which are given on labels. Keep covered tight ly. Read directions carefully and follow precisely. They'll tell you how to econoniiSe by using just enough to be effective.
