Labor Bureau DeviseS
Plan For Living Costs
Program Dealing With Broad In
ternatiOnal Problems of Labor
Are Being Formulated

The Labor Department at Washing
ton is making postwar plans for do
nestle rehabilitation and reconstruc-
ton elsewhere in the world, dealing
with broad international problems of
labor and living costs.
Secretary Perkins, in testimony
made public yesterday by the House
Appropriations Committee, declared
the work is being done by the divis-
ion of labor statistics, which she de-
scribed as the "key" to the govern
ments plan on such postwar matters
as labor standards and the movement
of labor"
Secretary Perkins said the bureau
had developed a technique whereby
they can very nearly predict how much
manpower it would take to electrify
and build powerhouses and do the nee
essary wiring in some country in Eu-
rope which may have to be recon-
structed in the postwar period"
The labor secretary declared also
that eve look to this bureau to pre-
dict for us what the population moves
and changes are likely to be that will
make necessary whatever type of So
cial security we are to have.
Other highlights from her tcsti-
mony and that of Labor Department
officials included:
/. The wage and hour division has
received 1886 requests for rulings
on whether an increase in wages is
permissible under the War Labor
Boards rulings.
2. The United States Cancellation
Service has settled 1866 labor dis
putes during the last Is months, and
has certified another 1,746 cases to
the War Labor Board for action.
3. Plans have been developed "cov-
ering the possible evacuation of chill
dren from certain areas in case of eX-
plosions or sabotage or the ADVERSE
ties of war"
A. Secretary Perkins statement
that Eve are spending millions of dol
lars in putting people into proper jobs
and many more millions in keeping
them from striking. Yet we are spend
ing practically nothing to improve
those working conditions which are
causing infinitely greater loss of
time"
5. A statement by Katherine l..
Lenroot, chief of the departments
Children's Bureau, that Child neglect
and Juvenile delinquency are serious
problems in the fast growing military
and industrial areas"
6. Testimony by DR.. Martha NJ. Ell
lot, associate chief of the children's
bureau, that if the total armed forces
reach 100000 or 100000 men,
the annual number of births to wives
of enlisted men might be expected to
rise to 1925 900 or $4,000. The bureau
is seeking increased funds for mater
nifty care for wives of service men,
but is opposing a "means tcet" for
those seeking aid.

the War Production Board, re-
Gently disclosed that airplane
production in March reached g.
200 planes, that delivery of Lib
erty ships exceeded 100 a month
and that heavy bomber produc-
ton neared the 500-a-month
mark. .
All of these figures. represent a
new high in production. Gains
were made in the production of
medium bombers, fighters and
transport planes.
Mr.. Nelson reported that the
production of munitions in March,
l943, showed an increase of 165 per
cent over March, 1912.
These figures emphasize his
conclusion that the nation is near
ing top capacity" and that while
production will increase in the
next month or two, the chances
are that peaks will be reached this
summer. In fact, Secretary Knox
of the Navy says that peak pro-
duction" in naval aircraf. and ship
construction was reached in April.

NAVY GETS SHIPS
AND PLANES

If you have any idea that the
Navy of the United States is not
air-minded, it should be dissi-
pated by the announcement OF
the Secretary of the Navy, Frank
Knox, that "for the first time
the number of combat planes de-
livered was in four figures"
He referred to the month of
April and while he offered no
additional information as to the
number, reporters recall that
last month he said that 1400
planes in all, about half of
which were combat planes, had
been delivered.
\ Interesting also is Mr.. Knocks
statement that the Navy in 1913
will double he number of ships
that it had in 1912. While this
information is naturally vague in
order not TO give complete de-
tails to the enemy, landing craft
were excluded. Presumably, the
total includes auxiliaries, small
craft and the larger warships.

ITO M -
No empty hands are fthese-that
hold this gift n
To talk of apple-glowt ofydusk
or rain
That fell-or leaves that blew in
sun-crisped death
Down every little shadow-stippled
lane. gE
To talk of sea-wind on your yield
ing mouth
That mingled salt with sweetness
in your kiss;
Or why a gull is quick :. or
books / love;
The yearning for small dreams my
mind must miss.
To talk of things :. gay, simple,
pleasant things
Your rigid mind ignore-or casts
away
Imprisoned in narrow, selfish
niche
That hides the vivid glory of each
day.
/ cannot talk too much of winds
that sing
Or trees that blow an emerald
song in Spring.

Authors Note: These are the
final stanzas of a rather long bal
lad describing the attempted as
sassination of King Louis 18th of
France; the elaborate public tor
lures inflicted on the would-b be
regicide; and the failure to quar-
ter the culprit-that final clinch-
ing argument against monkeying
with the divine rights of kings.
History records that the felon had
copy of the Bible in his pocket
at the time he failed to even
scratch the royal monsters hide.
This evoked a characteristic COM
ment from Voltaire: "Of course;
who ever heard of a man going
about murder with a copy OF
Cicero in his pocket"
The poem faithfully follows
the facts, preserved in the ar
chives of Paris.-M. c.
The sun sank low on Gothic roofs;
Up in the royal stand
King Louis gave a sign, trumpet
Blared in sharp command.
The time for quartering had come:
Thinking of home and dinner
In haste the hired hands prepared
To usher out the sinner.
And now throughout the multitude
Awoke the gambling thirst,
And arguments as bets were laid
Which limb would let 60 first.
Four horses now were harnessed to
The battered regicide,
And brushing sweat from weary
broWS
The torturers stood aside.
The riders whipped their steeds
that were
Supposed to quarter him:

ARMCHAIR EXPERTS WE'RE
WRONG

A few months ago, the air was
frequently filled with the lamen-
tations of armchair, strategists
who deplored the Nays failure
to take action against the japan
csc bases on Kiska and Attu.
Reading the comment of many
experts and listening tc the ra-
dio broadcasters convinced one
that nobody except the experts
appreciated the danger of the JAP
anese threat. 1t appeared that the
Navy had gone to sleep, leaving
the Japanese alone as they de-
veloped the bases.
The foolishness of this COM
ment becomes apparent only in
the month of May, when the Navy
revealed that American soldiers
occupied Amchitka on January
18th. This is an island of the Rat
group in the Aleutians, only 70
miles from Kiska. 1t is also re-
ported, that Adak, in the An
dreanof, was occupied in October
Our expeditionary forces have
built up military positions. in
Guiding airfields, on the islands
and are able to launch Furnishing
raids on the japanese bases. Dur
ing the past two months. our air
men have bombed Kiska more
than two hundred times, despite
the bad weather and fogs.

The recent reversal of opinion
on the part of the United States
Supreme Court, in the case oil
Jehovah's Witnesses, illustrates
( again ttat the law of the land is
what he justices think it is.
The religious sect attempts to
propagate its faith by the dis
tribution of pamphlets. Some
municipalities attempted to inn
pose a license fee for such dis
tribution and the Court held
that this was illegal.
! There is no vital connection
between religion and the distri-
button of pamphlets. A license
lee, imposed upon the distribu-
tors of pamphlets, is not of IL
self against religion nor does il
penalize any group provided 1T
applies equally to all.
\ Much the same question arises
when newspapers yell to high
heaven about the freedom of the
press in opposition to some law
u to regulate the methods of the
rress. So long as the law, or
license, applies equally to all
and does not discriminate, there
is no violation of the basic and
fundamental right, guaranteed
under the Constitution.
The government has a right to
, impose license fees upon business
enterprises but no one would
argue, if church went into a
business operation, that it would
be denied freedom of religious
worship because it was required
to pay the same licenses and
fees as other businesses.
