Ask Adam

I'm terribly sorry" Susan was
saying. Here I've been working
for a week, and so and spoil all
that food. And / was 80 sure I
could save you money"
Don't let 1t get you down said
Adam. ITS not your fault"
Il should have tasted the sugar
before I put it in the pudding she
said self-sccusingly.
Perhaps you'd better do that
from now on" said Adam YEARLY.
Meanwhile, hop down TO the gro
GERS with one Of the boys from the
cafeteria and get a fresh bag. Be
sure and test 1t before you leave
the store. and don't let II get out OF
your sight"
I'm do that" said Susan. And
no onell touch that sugar, even II
I have TO sit on it," She forced a
smile. "And thanks, Adam, for be-
ing so nice about it,"
I've no reason to be otherwise"
said Adam. "As I said, it's not your
fault. Just one Of those things that
happen-at times like this"
Susan came nearer. you mean
you-you suspect someone ?" she
said, lowering her voice.
Adam managed a grin. Susan
Potter" he said. "suspecting peo-
pie is getting to be a habit Of mine.
And when you go back to the
kitchen, you. might tell the pantry
woman to come up to my Office. I"
Don't be too hard on her,
please" Susan said. She's feeling
badly enough about IL She was
weeping when left"
"Okay,", said Adam. But he felt
suddenly hard and unsympathetic.
Perhaps the womans tears were
only a blind.
Susan turned TO go. I'm GER
tainly feel like rehearsing q play
after this" she said. And to-
nights our first full rehearsal"
Maybe having the play to
plunge into when evening comes is
a good thing for US both" said
Adam. Then, suddenly. he asked,
How are things with Bill?"
Susan gave him a quick look
He's still trying to make that deal
with Alicia Carter. II that's what
you mean"
shes slow in making up her
mind, isn't she >"
"She is. Molasses In January Is
speedy compared to Alicia"
Adam smiled. Bill seemed a 1T
tie - err - upset the other night
when he dropped In at the re-
hearsal." he said. Il hope he
doesn't object t. your working
here, and - and taking the role
also"

through with 1.-THE Job and the
play"
Good girl said Adam. but his
voice sounded sort OF hollow. he
thought.
A lot Of things occupied his time
after Susan had gone. He went on
his daily inspection Of the factory
from end to end and from side TO
side. Everything appeared to he
working smoothly-and yet he had
an uneasy feeling. Managing a fac
tory that was doing war work was
rather like walking on top Of VOL
cano, or the calm before the storm,
or the match placed too close TO
the key Of powder.
He stopped for a while beside
otto, who was operating a POLISH
ing machine, and doing it eNpertly.
Nothing prettier." said Otto, in
an extraordinary good humor,
than a perfectly turned out and
polished tool"
mo, there isn't" said Adam He
watched Otto's face and said, It's
even prettier when you stop to
think what it's going to DO"
Yes, SIR" said Otto.
Adam left then, a pucker be-
tween his brows. Temperamental
cuss, that Otto. Just why he should
be so gosh-darn cheerful at this
particular time was a mystery. He
went back to his office.
Brenda Leigh wants you to call
her at once" Ruth Moorehouse told
him.
Thanks" said Adam. And pres
entity he had Brenda on the wire.
I'm coming in early this eve
ming" Brenda said. Il must see you
before rehearsal"
"Okay," said Adam. You sound
excited"
do /? Maybe I am. Anyway.
Ill tell you when l see you. Don't
forget what you told me about
talking over the telephone"
Il get you" Adam said. How
about having dinner with me here
in town ?"
Fine! Only make 1t a quiet spot,
with not too many walls with
ears"
Miss Sally Browns tea ROOM"
said Adam. There's little doing
there except at lunch. Dinner hour
is quiet-and a lot lonelier than
Miss Sally likes"

She hung up then. Adam did the
same. He shook his head slowly.

ADAM and his foreme- then dis
cussed ways and means Of increas-
ing production regardless Of the
discoursgements they were con
stantly facing
Getting needed materials is an
other headache one Of the men
said.
Il know Adam replied Every
factory faces that particular head
ache. Wen have TO do what we can
with what we've got-and hope for
the best"
He knew as he said II that he
sounded like a Pollyanna in pants,
But, even so, he had TO make an
effort at being cheerful II might
help the general morale Of the
place if he, the head OF the factory,
appeared TO be not too worried.
He said a smiling so long" as
the men left. and then slumped
down into his chair. He couldn't
have felt a greater weight of re-
sponsibility If. like Atlas, he car
lied the world upon his shoulders.
4 short time later Susan Potter
came in. She looked sweet and do
nestle in a white outfit that some
what resembled the sort nurses
wore. But when Adam saw her ex-
preston he felt his heart drop.
More trouble! II was written all
over Susan's face.

all they could tell me was that the

cred"

Il did. And he said there was
nothing but sugar in the bag
when it left his store"
Adam said nothing. But he Won
dered If the pantry woman was
turning saboteur. It began to look
a. though no one could be trusted.

WAGE INCREASE AND WAR BONUS

The agreement ST gned last year can
be opened only for the purpose Of discus
sing war bonuses and war ri SIX insurance.
1t also contains a clause whereby wage
increases can be asked for based the
ri Sc in the cost Of living n Seattle
during the past year. These three de-
mards have been pres tied to the Indus
try by Local 2. The packers have re- ec-
ted the war b onus and war ri SIX insurance.
They have agreed to grant wage increase
based on the increased cost of living.
**********x***+*
But We must remember that negotia-
ii ons are a1toge Their different this year
than they have been in the past. The
Uni ted States is at war with the Axis,
and the Uni ted States COVE rTment has is
sued a number Of emergency powers to the
ADM nistrati on Win ch govern all requests
for wage adjustment and other employer
employee mat ters. So actually, we bar
gain through the Uni ted States govern
ment this year and not directly wi tn the
packers. Off cials of Local have been
extremely busy taking these ma ters UP
wi tn such agencies for weeks.

Insofar as the request for wage
increase based on the increased cost Of
living Is conce rned (about 1870, even
though the packers have agreed, the re-
quest mus t be submi tied to the War La

cannot grant this increase unless APP

Average Age Of Lila
General Officers Is 81.

The average age of the lila gen.
eral officers now on duty with the
Army at home and overseas is eX-
actly 81 years, the War Department
disclosed today.
This emphasis on youth in modern
warfare is eXemplified by the fact
that 56 per cent of all general off,
GERS serving with combat units are
under so years of age. In the sep
arate Air Forces the percentage is
even higher, with 64 per cent of the
air generals under so.
Compared with the World War
statistics, there seems at first glance
little difference in ages. The aver
age general of the Regular Army
was 81 years | month on November
II, 1918, the date of the armiStice.
However, the comparison ends
there. Division commanders over
seas In l943 average 50 years, or
three years younger than the aver
age division commander of the
former A. f. F.
Gen. Timberlake Is "a.
Youngest of the lila generals in
the present Army is Brig, Gen. Ed
ward J. Timberlake of the Air
Forces. who was but 33 years and
II months when promoted to a
brigadier on September 28 for out
standing combat services overseas
His record demonstrates that youth
will be served the department eX-
planned.
Brig. Gen Timberlake. the baby
general of the entire Army, is a
native of Fort Hunt Va. a West
Point graduate of 1881. His combat
record has won for him the Dis
tinguished Flying Cross, the Silver
Star for gallantry and the Cuban
decoration of the Order Of Military
Merit, second class. He is the COM
mander of a bombardment group
and is rated as senior pilot.
At present there are 10 generals
on active duty who are under 40
years Of age.
Although there has been an in
crease of more than 1000 general
officers since June, l940 the War
Department said the rate is far
below the overall expansion Of the
Army.
One to 2,55S Ratio.
As of June 80. 1910. there were
iO4 general officers and 266000 Off
GERS and enlisted men, giving g
ratio Of to 1858. At present, the
liza generals and 100000 officers
and enlisted men represent ratio
of | to 6636.
The War Department has de-
pended upon the Regular Army pro-
motion list for the majority Of Its
general officers, 97l being regulars
The balance came from the Re
serve Corps. the National Guard or
were appointed to the Army Of the
United States. as was the case Of
64-year- old 1t Gen William S
Knudsen, director OF production
War Department.
Only as per cent Of the general
officers are West Point graduates
and the 437 graduates do not in
clude Gen. George C. Marshall
Army chief Of staff, who was
graduated from the Virginia Mill
tary Institute. Among the high
ranking West Pointers, however
are Gen, Douglas Macarthur Allied
commander in the Southwest Pa
ctflc, and Gen. Dwight D. Elsen-
hover, Allied commander in the
North African theater of operations.
Brightest star of the Reserve Off

is Mai. Gen. James H DoOlittle.
