If any moral Whatsoever is to be

the U. s., and support those candidates
for office who most nearly meet the
test Of true democracy.-Amsterdam

Hartford, Decorate
U.S.O. Clubhouse

Approximately IS volunteer
members of Local 481, Hartford
Painters, Decorators and Paper
hangers, painted the interior of the
new U.S.O. Armed Forces Club,
known as the Perkins House on
Prospect ST., which has just been
dedicated.
William A. Crosscup, business
agent of the Local, said that the
painters volunteered their services at
the last meeting of the union. The
men started to work at s A. M. and
finished at 2 P. M.
Local 481 invested funds in a
81 900 War Bond, bringing its total
in Bonds to $4,000, said Crosscup.
Members of the union have also
purchased new Bonds in connection
with the Third War Loan. They
have a total investment of some
$4,000 i'm War Bonds.
Twenty-one members of the LO-
cal are now serving in the Armed
Forces, said Crosscup.
"The Hartford Painters would like
to correct a statement in the local
papers which reported that painters
normally receive $40 day. said the
business agent. "The PAINTERS union
wage is Sill day for eight hours,
with time and a half for overtime"

$42 Billion In

By Industry
Figures Given To Congress

Secretary Patterson

WASHINCTON-War contract
ors will have what amounts to a
$42, 600, 100000 postwar reserve
fund by the end of next year, I'm
dersecretary of War Robert P. Pat
tersOn told the House ways and
means committee last week.
Patterson's testimony collapsed
the pet argument of industriaIists
who have been appearing before
the committee to press for amend
ment or outright repeal of the> con-
tract renegotiating law through
which the government has recap
tured more than $4,000, 900, 900
in excessive profits to date.
Asserting 1--WE are simply trying to
avoid a crop of war millionaires,
Patterson said it had become a "com-
mon thing" for salaries of corpora
ton executives to jump from $4,000
and $4,000 before the war to 100000
now. His estimate of industry's ex-
pected postwar reserve was compiled
through these profit figures:
IA postwar refund from ex-
cess-profits taxes of about $1,000
100000; 2-Undistributed profits,
after taxes and dividends, from

A Congressman In
The Cabbage Patch

WASHINGTON = Harried OPA
officials are hoping against hope
that there aren't any congressman
around who have a sideline such as
selling cabbage, or a tidy acreage
back home in carrots, or a thrifty
investment in snap beans. Because
the OPA has sent an order on to
War Food Administration for its
blessing that will mean a rolIback
in fresh vegetables.
What they are thinking of is what
happened to the O.P.A. regulation
proudly heralded in advance in the
press by O.PA. spokesman, concern
ing apples. Apples were to sell at
around 9 cents a pound.
just to be nice about it OPA
asked the apple growers to. send in
a delegation to work out some tri-
fling details of the program. When
the delegation arrived, it was head
ed by Sen. Harry Byrd Cd. Va.),
his states largest apple grower and
the Senate's staunchest advocate of
cutting government expenditures
all on behalf of the taxpayer. APP
parently Byrd draws the line be-
tween consumers and taxpayers,
however, because he insisted that
the price of apples should be high
er.
Aiding him on the delegation were
ApplegroWerS Hal Homes and Walt
Koran of Washington, who also are
Congressman. O.P.A. refused to bulge
despite the efforts of the Congress-
men-apple lobbyists. They visited Eco
nomic Stabilizer Fred M. Vinson and
he also turned deaf ear to their pleas.
Then they went to a more SYM
pathetic audience-War Food Ad-
ministratOr Marvin Jones. VIA
must approve OPA regulations af-
fecting agriculture. Jones took the
matter to VinsOn, and succeeded in
getting a penny higher ceiling for
the apple-growers. Apples now will
sell from 10 to lie a pound. 1t was
almost &c hike.
The apple rOllback was to initiate
OPA's new program for consumer
cuts in prices of oleomargarine,
Lard, onions, potatoes, peanut but
ter, etc. The OPA labor policy COM
mittee is now watching to see what
becomes of the proposed new cell
ings for l8 fresh vegetables, fear
ing the whole rollback program is
in danger if War Food Administra-
ton is allowed to get away with any
other price-slash blocks.
The new vegetable ceilings will be
placed at the country shipper level
first, and then extended to retail prices
on regional basis in dollar and cents
form. They will be 1870 below prices
prevailing last winter, and O.P.A.
General Manager Chester Bowles esti-
mates that they will cause reduction
of 10 in the cost-of-living index.

and said, "The creative genius of
American business can not work at
its best with the fear of renegotiation
hanging over its head" He had re-
ceived letters from many firms in his
own district, he said, who were so
hardhit that they had been forced to
stop paying dividends, after they had
been doing so for 20 years.
"WOuld you mind giving me the
names of those FIRMS" said Rep.
A. Willis Robertson Cd, Va.), sus-
piciously. ''YOu said they'd been
paying out dividends for 20 years
and that includes 10 years of black
depression. If the renogOtiatiOn
boards are so unfair, give us the
specific cases so that we can get the
facts.''
1t so happened, Jonkman replied
cOldly, that the firms had asked
him to withhold their names and
he could not betray a confidence.
"Well,' Robertson demanded, "If
they've been mistreated, why should
they object to it's being known" But
JOllNlidlA (OlllllIIlCO " lIOlQ Oul, ell
couraged by committee member Dan
lei A. Reeds (R, N.Y.) sympathetic
advice not to expose the firms to the
tyranny of those boards"
A new proposal on renegOtiation
came from Sen. Carl A. Hatch Cd,
NM who, in a report to the SEN
ate, urged creation of a seven-man
central board to pass on contract
negotiations now handled separate
ly by the War, Navy and Treasury
Depts., the War Shipping Admins
tratiOn and four subsidiaries of the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. He
also proposed automatic exemption
from renegOtiatiOn for contractors
operating under fixed price con-
tracts provided profits before de-
ductiOn of federal income and ex-
cess profits taxes were not more
than 80 of sales, and total sales
were not more than three times the
average sales for 1886 to 1889 in
elusive.

EganUrgesCon
Provide Road Funds

John ]. Egan, secretary-treasurer
of the Conn. Federation of Labor, this
week urged all building trades locals
to write u. S. Senators and Represen-
tatives to support and adopted a bill
before Congress for federal appro-
priation to construct roads for reliev-
ing postwar employment.
Egan stated in his letter to secre-
taries and business agents that Con-
gresional Committee hearings are now
being held on the appropriations for
federal grants for road building in
the states. Under the present setup
appropriations are made according to
territorial demands of the states,
wrote Egan, adding:
eff we are to have a real postwar
program that will relieve the unem-
ployment situation by the employment
of men in the construction industries,
Congress should appropriate monies
upon the basis of the load that each
state will carry as far as employment
is concerned"
