Bocktroeking Is Denied
By WLB Public Members

Public members of the War Labor
Board emphasized last night that
1t was not they who backtracked on
the question of retroactive pay for
the steel workers and if any one did,
it was the labor members.
An opinion by Chairman William
H. Davis, subscribed to by the three
other public members. said the Pres
ident's telegram to the steel workers
Sunday was in every substantial
respect the same as the proposal
made to the board by the public
members on December %"
That was the proposal voted down
by combination of industry and
labor members, though their oppo-
sition was grounded on different
reasons
On Monday, the opinion pointed
out, the decision ordering that a
wage increase, if any, be made
retroactive was reached when John
Brophy, CIO member of the board
moved that a directive be issued
consistent with the Presidents tele-
gram"
The opinion added that "it was
made plain to the board that the
motion did not propose retroactivity
with respect to any wage adjust
ments beyond the limits of the exist
ing wage-stabilization policy
The public members original reso-
luton, opposed by the labor men,
bers, limited the boards commit
ment on retroactivity to the existing
wage policy The resolution even
tually agreed to by the labor men,
bers dropped the limiting language
but. by the terms of the motion,
it was restricted by the President s
telegram which Mr. Davis described
as substantially the same as the
public members terms.
Mr. Davis also pointed out that
no order of the WLB has any effect
beyond the limits of the wage
stabilization policy esta blished by
law at the time the order is made. "

Early in the war a series of ex-
periments was started under the di-

and exacting tests and innumerable

"On passing from a bright room

pass before the eyes grow accus-
toned to the darkness and begin
to distinguish the contours of OBJ

Glasses in each subject, open to
both men and women, will be held

electric arc welding will be held
from to pm.
It was also announced that a
limited number of pre-school-age
children can be cared for in the
school nursery, making it possible
for women with small children to
take advantage Of the courses.

"and many of them have returned

The enormous progress of Soviet
scientists in many fields since the

the modern plane depend almost
entirely on the ability to calculate
the profile Of the fuselage and wings
so as to achieve the least resistance

Western Europe.
There is not a single field of
science which is not being placed

Prof. Kapitza himself is credited
with developing revolutionary new
way OF producing oxygen since the
