THE THING to do-absolute-

lessly as their significance sank
into her tired brain. He was telling
her to go-closing the door on her

through her. Did she want that
door closed?

Steve talking, planning, and she
thought DULY that he looked ex-

day she had come to him for a job.
Tall, broad-shouldered, al crisp
business and remote friendliness.
She had thought that day, "A
smart mana clever man." He
was. Whatever he did, he did well.
She was lucky to be the object of
his planning. This must be the
right thing she was doing.

the mail. Just show someone your

along. You'll need the afternoon for
packing"
She was shocked from her stu
por. Blinking back sudden tears,
she cried, "Oh, Steve, I couldn't do
a thing like that! or course I'll
wait till I've trained someone to
take my place"
Nobody can take your place.
She glanced up, startled by the
hollow pain In his voice, to see the
anguish behind his brisk, cheerful
front in that instant before he
could regain control. But when he
spoke, his voice was bold, brusque
command.

MURRAY IS PARTLY RIGHT

The c. l. O., in executive board meeting assem-
bIed put it's finger on the weakest spot in the wage
sterilization formuloe Philip Murray the Congress
president points out that workers in the lower income
brackets ore hard hit because the cost of foodstuffs
has risen SO greatly The lower fomiIys income, the
greater the proportion is spent on food, of course.
President Murray urges that there be adjustment
of wage inequalities and elimination Of substondord
wages.
The general formula adopted by the War Labor
Board provides for wage adjustments in proportion
70 the rise in living costs There appears to be grow
ing misunderstanding Of this fostered by labor union
leaders, nnony of them in the G.. O.
The IS per cent adjustment basis not put
forth as fixed unoerobIe formula 1t was supposed
merely to measure the advance in living costs which
had taken place between the base dote Jan. l94l,
and the time Of the Little Steel settlement. 1t was
clear to most who studied that decision thot the WLB
intended to vary the percentage upward as living costs
rose.
But this adjustment basis was promulgated to OPP
ply to all wages from hest to lowest and to be sup
pIenented by special additional adjustments for SUBJ
standard wages Only the utro reoctionory would
have complained if the WLB had provided for reason
able raises to those in the lower brackets.
Criticism Of the formula rests upon the theory,
which Mr.. Murray and his c. !. O. have not repud-
oted that in the fooe Of initiation every union worker
regardless Of how highly he may be paid, should have
cost-of-livno adjustments.
Mr.. Murray urges also q 48-hour working schedule
to help meet the nnonpower crisis, but With premium
pay for the lost eight hours, which inevitably would
contribute to inflotonory forces and thereby would
force further woee raises that would come sowest to
those who would need them most-the lowest wage
brackets and white collar groups

but let's be careful that do not let loose the dogs

be olive drab instead of white.

camouflage SO that when sold

find wide acceptance when made

in jungles. On the other side the
browns and sand tones predomi-
nate, for use in desert country or
mountains.
One of the heater accessories
for the jungle camouflage suits
is a pair of flotation bladders.
When a soldier wants to wade
across a stream and he doesn't
know how deep it is, he simply
blows up these spare bladders,
puts them under his armpits like

clothing is of such high quality
that the garments can all be
