Blake, Labor member and Chair
man of the Ohio Industrial Com
mission.
Ordway Is Candidate
Well-informed circles in the state
CIO believe that Earl Ordway of
Toledo, state vice-president for the
past year, will be a strong candi-
date for the state CIO presidency
to succeed Jack Kroll of Cincinnati,
incumbent. The opinion is based
on the fact that Ordwsy has the
backing Of Richard Gosser, UAW-
CIO regional director of Toledo,
and Local IL, UAW-CIO, of which
Mr.. Ordway is a member of long
standing.
Local IL is the largest single
amalgamated local in Ohio and
will bring 70 delegates to the state
convention with sufficient votes to
have an important bearing on any
contests which may develop for
state offices.
Has Been Active
AS a member of the state CIO
Council Mr.. Ordway has not missed
single meeting of the state or
ganization. He has been active in
the political action field in the
state as we'll as in his own city,
Toledo, where he was chairman of
the speakers committee for the
Burke campaign.
Being a member of Local IL,
UAW-CI0, and having the locals
backing, as we'll as that of Re-
gional Director Richard Gosser, is
believed to give Mr.. Ordway bet
ter than average chance of being
elected to the state presidency.
Mr.. Ordway has been member
of Local IL since 1884, when he
Joined at the Spicer Mfg. Co, plant
at Toledo. He was formerly chair
man of the Spicer Unit of Local
| II, and is serving as secretary of
his Unit at the present time.
There are unconifrmed rumors
that President Jack Kroll may
withdraw as a candidate to sue
ceed himself. Kroll is serving his
first term as state president.

Reufher
Criticizes
Gov. keIIv

DETROIT, Mich. Walter P.
Reuther, UAW-CIO Vice Presi-
dent and director of its Con-
sumers Divisions, today criticized
Governor Kelly for failing to in
clude representatives of labor and
consumers in the milk crisis con-
ference held at the Book Cadillac
Hotel.
"If the Governor really wanted
to get to the bottom of the milk
shortage and work out practi-
cal and effective solution, he
should have called on the organ
lied workers engaged in the pro-
cessing and distribution of milk,
and on the organizations repre-
senting the consumers, to parti.
cipate in his conference" Reuther
said.
Charging that the milk crisis
was beyond the point of solution
at the local level, because it in
wolves problems of manpower, sub
sides and ALLEGATION of grain sup
plies for stock feeding, Reuther
called for action by the Federal
government on the basis of the
following five point program:
Has Five Point Program
l. That immediate steps be
taken to ration whole milk on the
basis of need. Present house to
house deliveries of milk are in
adequate to meet the needs of
families with children, while res
taurants and soda fountains are
selling milk to adults. Rationing
of milk on the basis of need
would divert supplies to families
with children, who need it more
that adults eating away from
home.
2. The base and surplus system
of payment to farmers should be
abolished for the duration, and
one fair price paid to formers for
| all Jnelr milk.
8. Under the one price system.
farmers should receive at least so
cents per hundred-weight more
for their milk. For lack Of fS =
farm labor and price adee\M
to permit them to operate pl
ably, many farmers are now sen-
ing their dairy herds and ceasing
to produce milk. This increase in
the price of milk to the farmers
should be squeezed out of the
profits of the milk monopolies if
possible, or supported by Federal
subsidy so that there is no in
crease in the cost of milk to con-
sumers.
Moreover, the cost of hauling
them ilk from the farm to the
processing plant, now loaded on
the farmer, should be assumed by
the professors.
A. The F e d eral government
should investigate the Michigan
Milk Producers Association, to de-
termine if it is indulging in
monopoly practices, and to insure
a fair deal for the farmers in
their business relations with this
organization.
5. The Commodity Credit Cor
poration should act to release
grain for stock feeding to farmers
at prices they can afford to pay,
preferably through group buying
on cooperative basis.

--UNTO THE LORD
A NEW SONG
(Chicago Daily News)

Several church bodies have passed
resolutions disappearing of the current
song Praise the Lord and Pass the Am
munition.' They denounce it as bias
phemous. But the theme it expresses is
as old as mankind.
AeSchyluS who wrote around 400 BIC,
voiced it in the declaration: God loves
to help him who strives to help himself" ="
This maxim in some form exists among
all peoples and in all languages. Oliver
Cromwell plagiriZed it just 800 years ago
when, before the Battle of Edgehill, he
admonished his troops:
Put your trust in God, but mind to
keep your powder dry Theodore Roose-
welt paraphrased it in his injunction,
Fear God, and take your own part" The
author of the Old Testament book of Ma
hum anticipated the composer of praise
the Lord and Pass the Ammunition" by
many centuries when he wrote:
He that dasheth in pieces is come up
before thy face: keep the munition, watch
the way, make thy loins strong, fortify
thy power nightly"
And in Psalms 81 3 we find Trust
in the Lord, and do good
And again in Psalms 9S1O: 30 sing
unto the Lord a new song
A people, dedicating themselves to
war, have no blasphemy in their hearts.
There may be strong words on their lips
forbidden words; there may be words
in incongruous opposition. But since
mankind has learned to put words to-
gether to express emotions that inspire
men to mighty deeds, men in times of
stress have paraphrased Nahum, Aeschy-
lus, Cromwell, and the unknowns of an
tiquity from whom these writer's lifted
good lines:
Praise the Lord and Pass the Ammu-
nition" Fear God, and take your own
mart E."

THE DANGER IN TOO
MUCH GOOD NEWS

The news from the war fronts has been
good for long time-perhaps too good.
1t is the kind of news we want. It's the
kind of news that will precede absolute
and final victory. From that viewpoint,
il cannot be too good to suit us. But
Absolute and final victory is not just
around the corner. There are bound TO
be some jolts coming our way before our
enemies crumble in utter defeat. We'd
better remember that, keep it always in
mind, or w're liable to take the bad news,
when it comes, with disappointment
out of all proportion to the actual event.
If that were to transpire then the news
Of today would have been TOO good
We've got to condition ourselves to take
good news as it should be taken-with
the mental reservation that no news will
be wholly good until the wires flash the
story Of axis surrender.
The danger in the cheering trend of
the news during the last few weeks Is
that we will come to accept it as rou-
tine thing, something to be accepted and
expected If we do that, we will be in
state of mind where bad news will loom
bigger than it really is We will be liable
10 criticize where no criticism is due, if
we reach the place where We believe we
should hav nothing but victories.
The axis is not going to go down the
long slope toward defeat without some
final terrific struggle, some dying out
burst of energy. Desperation will dictate
great CANDLES, and for while they may
seem to succeed. We must expect them,
we must prepare ourselves mentally to
meet them, conquer them, and go on to
the victory which will be the best news
Of all.
We need not abandon the quiet, abid-
ing conviction that victory shall be ours.
But we must not abandon the resolution
that our every effort shall be directed to-
ward Fastening the day of victory.
Good news or bad, it should make no
difference in our battle here at home
we've got to put everything we have into
if. and keep on putting it in until peace
is achieved.

AT THE FRONT--HERE
(Palo Alto Times)

Almost every woman, reading of the
hell of disease and carnage on Pacific
war fronts, has wished she were a nurse,
strong and well-trained, who could min
lister to the sick and wounded boys there.
Few, of course, are in "a position to do
this. But tens of thousands could, if they
would, take an active part in that ser
vice of mercy by preparing surgical
dressings for their own Red Cross.
Here so close to the Pacific front, the
demand for these dressings is urgent and
never-ceasing. Only about 10 per cent of
those needed can be manufactured; the
rest must be made by volunteers under
careful direction.
There is probably no other form of
civilian service that contributes more
certainly and Immediately to the saving
of lives than the making of surgical
dressings And all it requires is a clean
white coverall, a white head covering,
willing hands and few hours of time.
1t is not the Red Cross which makes
the appeal-it is the bleeding men on
stretchers and hospital cots who ask
American women, for mercy's sake, to
rush the dressings which will save their
lives.

FARM MACHINERY

Woefully ineffective War Production
board schedules for output of farm ma
chinery serve once more to highlight the
evident Washington misconceptiOn of
farming.
WPB brushed off the recommendations
of the department of agriculture, and
even of its own especially employed eX-
perts on farm needs, in fixing produc-
tion quota so low that it hardly serves
to replace worn out parts.
If WPB were alone in the policy repre-
sented by this action, it might not be so
tragic. The unfortunate thing is that
virtually all federal department itself,
seem to follow much the same policy.
There seems to be only one logical ex-
planation. 1t is that most Of the federal
policy-making officials got their theories
on farming out of glamorized children's
books, where grandpa spends a week
plowing the upper forty then joyfully
hitches up tine old mare and rides to town
in his Immediately polished buggy
Washington must realize that farming
today is a business, as mechanical as the
most modern factory, as precise as the
newest assembly line. Until Washing
ton does realize that the farmer is going
on suffering, and the consumer will suf-
fer with him.
Remember all the furore about the
"horse and buggy days. Well, somebody
else ought to remember they're over now.
