WHITE COLLAR MINERS

John L. Lewis over barrel for
asking a S2-a-day wage increase for
organized coal miners, another
branch of the government, the Bu-
reau of Internal Revenue, okayed
various salary increases for nom
union supervisory employees In coal
mines.
The matter was kept hushed up by
secret-loving Internal Revenue bu-
reaucrats, but here are the facts:
A special Internal Revenue
branch, known as the Salary Stabii-
Zation unit, functions in the salary
field like the War Labor board in
the wage field, to keep personal
earnings below inhationary levels.
The new unit must approve appn-
cations for all salary boosts affect
ing business executives and white
collar workers.
While everything the War Labor
board does is open to public scrutiny.
Internal Revenues Salary Stabiliza-
ton unit operates strictly behind the
scenes and doesn't answer to any,
body.
Recently, it leaked out, however,
that bituninous coal mine opera
tors, in a move to block union or
ganization of mine "sub-bosses, had
requested government permission to
increase salaries of all supervisory
employees, including mine superin-
tendents, managers, foremen, sub
bosses, etc. That white-collar IN
crease amounted to an average Of
81 day-just the increase the min
ers asked for.

GRAIN FROM CANADA

Food Boss Chester Davis has spent
days looking for good transporta-
ton man to solve that problem Of
bringing in wheat from Canada.
Commodity Credit corporation has
bought 715 million bushels of Cana
dian wheat, but not a bushel has
moved. Meantime, dairy and poul-
try farmers In the Northeast are
running low on feed grains.
Great Lakes steamers got moving
a month late, on account of the late
thaw. They are loaded down with
ore for the steel mills, have no space
for grain. Rail movement is the
only alternative.
Grain stocks In the U. S. have been
the heaviest in history, but so is con-
sumption of grain. Record-breaking
animal production is eating into the
stocks so fast that foreign imports
must be moved. This is one time
when farmers would welcome some
of that much abused Argentine corn
and wheat.
Behind this excitement about
grain supplies is one big question
mark which few people outside the
government realize, namely, the
feeding of occupied territories.
If and when invasion comes, the
civilians on the invasion front,
whether in France, the Low Coun-
tries, or the Balkans, viii have to
be fed from the American bread
basket. Quickest way to get food
to starving people is In the form Of
grain.

MORE CANNED GOODS

MORE CANNED GOODS ;
Housewives who will get more
canned goods this summer can
thank the senate's Truman commit
tee. No one announced it officially,
but it was due to their probing that
the army recently released 80 mil
lion cases Of canned fruits and vege-
tables for civilian use.
The Truman committee had re-
vealed the fact that huge quanti-
ties of canned goods were being
boarded or unwisely used by the
army, when fresh vegetables were
easily available. Especially reveal
ing was the cross-examination Of
Gen. E. B. Gregory, the arrny's
Quartermaster general, by Senator
Brewster of Maine.
why does the army feed canned
grapefruit to its troops in Miami"
asked Brewster, "when grapefruit is
growing fresh all over Florida?"
Because the men are too lazy to
prepare fresh grapefruit" was Gen.
eral Gregory's frank reply.
He also admitted that green vege-
tables and fruits were readily avail
able to army camps during a large
part of the year, but that army COM
missaries purchased canned goods
because it was easier to prepare than
fresh vegetables.
The Truman committee also found
that as a result of this boarding
the packers and Gamers were in a
quandary and expected to curtail
production. They knew the army
had overpurchased, could never use
its vast stores of canned goods. So
the Gamers figured the army would
dump this back on the market,
thereby causing an oversupply just
at the wrong time. That was why
30 million cases were turned back
to civilian use by the army now,
to ease the market while there is
civilian shortage.

Keller and Musidl
Series Big Shots

MuSial surpasses his great rival
in total bases, however, for the
Donora Demon hits the ball often
er and fairly flies from first to
third Musial has three times as
many doubles and twice as many
triples. They are not far apart in
runs-batted-in.
Keller goes to bat with murder
in his eye-determined to swat the
ball into the stands. While Musial
also hits for distance, his main
idea is to hit the ball between
fielders.
Because he is stockily built-5-1O,
l90-Keller's speed is deceptive.
He beat George Stirnweiss and the
swiftest Indians in 60-yard dash
on War Fund day.
Keller's beetle brow, hairy arms
and dark complexion cause players
to kid him about being trapped
rather than secuted. Lefty Gomez
always contended that Frank Buck
brought him back alive.
Although Musial makes spec
tacular catches, Keller is the SUI
perior outfielder. AS a matter of
fact, the robust young man from
the Old Line State is a faultless
right-hand throwing outfielder.
Musial was switched to right
field because he is left-hand
thrower. A no better than fair arm
swings from his shoulder, and he
is not polished workman-doesn't
look good in the pasture. He has
trouble keeping his feet.
This is King Kong's fifth year
with the Yanks. At 81, he is four
years older than the youngster with
whom the Cardinals will attempt
to match him.
Stan Musial, a good looking chap.
came along like all good young
Cardinals. Three years ago he
was pitching in the Florida State
League.
King Kong Keller led the In
ternational League in batting as
a freshman.
Yankee and Cardinal scouts
know them when they see them.
That is why the Yankees and
Cardinals usually wind up on top.

NEW YORK, Oct. 5. - Charley
Keller and Stan Musial are the
big shots of the World Series F.. .
the most feared hitters in the re-
spective decks.
The best way to compare King
Kong Keller and Musial is to say
that the Yankee outfielder is more
likely to swat the ball out of the
park, while the trouble stirring
Cardinal has the sharper eye.
Their batting averages makes this
obvious. MCsial, the Ted Williams
kind, zoomed his average this sea-
son from the .315 of a year ago to
the .357 which tops both leagues.
Keller, the stolid type, is batting
.271, but has 90 home runs to
Musial's 13.
