AbSenteeism has come to have
urgly connotations because most
discussion has concerned Wilful in
excusable failure to report for work
Monday morning hangovers, lazi-
ness, dis-interest, pique, general ir
responsibility.
These are the causes Of much alb
senteeism, and they deserve all the
harsh things that have been said
about them. Whether they account
for quarter, a third, a half or
tWo-thirdS of the 423 100000 man
days lost last year through absen-
teeism, nobody knows. The best
available information suggests that
considerably more than half of all
absenteeism is due to causes for
which the nation and the commu-
nifty are to blame, rather than in
dividuals.
Inadequate housing in war boom
communities, requiring long, ardu-
Gus daily travel, often in over
crowded trains and buses, on top
of overtime work, may we'll be the
most important cause of absentee
ism.
Imperial Valley press., 1943-04-30

This combination of evils pro-
notes overfatigue and sickness. 1t
interfereS with normal home life,
thereby injuring morale. 1t pre-
vents Workers-many of them Wom-
en- who are trying to keep homes
going outside factory hours-from
doing necessary shopping when
stores are open, from working In
victory gardens. and from taking
in the movies.
Probably, in the hectic drive for
ever-increaSing prodCetion with an
ever-increasing force of accustomed
workers, it will not be possible to
eliminate all of these causes of alb
senteeism.
Obviously We shall not be able to
provide housing SO that all work.
erS can live near their factories 1t
will be difficult, if not impossible,
to supply sufficient transportation
everywhere to do away with over
croWding in rush hours.
A certain amount of reShuffling
of personnel might reduce the bur-
den of available housing and tran
sit lines. Stores and recreational
facilities might arrange to be open
at the hours when workers can do
their shopping.

GL0RIFYING
YOURSELF
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer

Do your eyes give you away?
Are you looking older than you
should because they have lost their
sparkle and little tired" lines are
beginning to show at the corners?
Then, periodically rest your eyes
each day, as does Irene Manning
lovely singing star Of The Desert
Song AT lunch time Irene uses
a mild eye wash to clear them of
any irritating matter, finds a quiet
spot where she can relax, and closes
her eyes for five minutes.
IF I have to make a personal
appearance at one of the USO or
canteen shows after a long session
before the cameras" the actress
says, Il always rest a half-hour
IN a darkened room with a generous
amount of rich cream smeared
around my eyes. Then l remove
the excess cream and apply witch
hazel soaked cotton dabS to my
eyeiids.'
BY the time she is ready to show
or and dress, Irene says, all traces
OF tlredneSS are gone, and her eyes
are as clear and bright as they
were at the beginning of the day.

Dear Mr.. Editor:
| wish to call to your attention
the following experiences of recent
date.
Three times within the week, |
have teen approached by men, each
seeking the pension Office" Two
were from Texas and one was from
Oklahoma. One appeared about 25.
the second about 40 and the third
about as. Each was interested in
getting pension" as soon as Dos
sibIe
Texas has only q $3.50 old age
pension, one of them said. Il
want to live in California where I
can get a $4,000 pension"
Each man said he was uncmp'oY-
ed. and when l asked why he di,'nt
want work instead Of a pension,
they gave various weak excuses. In
neither case did the conversation
indicate the men had been in this
state more than a year.
This is an atcminatle eliuation.
when this state starts drawing lazy
dtones here just to get the pen
stonS our taxpayers must fork
over. I'm G5 years old and know
the need in MARI cases of amrle
pensions. but I Go resent fakirs
and drones from other states COM

: and War Shipping Administrator.
I But for weeks the Maritime
Commission and controller generals
flee lawyers have been arguing
he matter without coming to any
conclusion, and SO hamstrung are
iome of the ship owners by this de-
ay that in the last few days they
lave been meeting with the War
Shipping administration in an eff
fort to work out some kind of an
interim agreement, pending final
adjustment.
Under the law, the ship owners
could accept rs per cent of the
compensation due them but if they
did take this payment, they would
be forced to sue the government for
the balance and there would fol-
low long string of court actions.
Naturally, Ship owners and the War
Shipping Administration both want
to avoid that further tie-up.
RISING SHIP VALUES
This case in the first instance
5oeS back to the Fifth Amendment
the Constitution which says that
private property shall not be taken
n public use without Just COM
'ansation. If the government seizes
privately owned ship for war
argo service, for instance, the own
+ shall receive Just compensation.
On Sept. 8, 1899, the President
sued a proclamation declaring the
Existence of a limited national
mergency.' That was right after
Titler started marching, you'll re-
member. At that time, ship values
1ere low.
On May 27, 1871, the President
issued another proclamation, de-
claring general national emer-
gency," and further bringing into
operation the power of the Mari
time Co. mission to requisitiOn
shippino. BY that time, ship
values had risen, partly because
there was a greater demand for
shipDin@, partly because of sub
marine sinkings in European
waters.
Therefore, he Maritime Com
mission. which did not begin to re-
1Gisition ships until after May,
l9i1, set payment scale on ship
ing it requisitioned, higher than
The value of 1889, but lower than
he value of May. 1941, and pro-
ceeded to order the Treasury to
'ecompense owners of seized vessels
ceordingly.
OPINION
But along comes the Office OF
Controller General lindsay War
rem to say no, the Maritime Com
mission rates should be based on
rates in effect i'm 1889, or nearly
two years before the Maritime
Commission began to requisition
vessels in anv quantity.
Congress, through the House
Merchant Marine and Fisheries
Committee and the Senate Com
nerce Committee, had already been
'eked TO clarifv the law, but that
'nt nowhere. So an impartial ar
,ifnr was called in. in the person

Dear Editor:
We have read your reprint of the
editorial entitled, Stranger To
Cal" from the San Bernardino
sun. Such an editorial against
Senator Sheridan Downey is un-
just and unfair, ard we believe was
written by someone who has never
haa occasion to try to get assis-
tance out of Washington and,
therefore, is not qualified 10 pass
such an opinion.
Senator Sheridan DoWnev has a
big job to handle as he is on many
committees and his time is S he'd
uled, therefore it would be impos-
sible for him to meet with every
group that wanted to meet with
him. We have never had the
pleasure of meeting the Senator
but we have had many occasions
to call on his assistance on prob
lens existing in Imperial Valley
and in eVerS case he has given US
an immediate reply and immediate
assistance. which we can say is the
only person in Washingcn 10 dc
this for us.
Several months ago when I'M
perial Valley was threatened bv an
acute manroWer shortage, Senate.
DoWney met in Los Angeles with
group OF representative citizens
from Imperial Valley. The speech
that he made in the Senate and the
i''ai0o GllaI were received should
be sufficient evidence for the
people OF Imperial Valley to know
that he is behind them one hundred
percent in all of their problems.
He has assisted in every instance in
the securing of farm equipment 70.
Imperial Valley. He advised I'M
perial Valley through the local
papers that there was going 10 be a
flax ceiling meeting, and he assist
ed IN getting the California flax
seed premium raised over the East
EN- market, which will mean several
hund.ed thousand dollars to this
Valley
We have many letters and wires
from Senator Downey which will
the assistance that he

has given this community They
arc available for your inspection
We are sure that he has doan the
same for the other 81 counties of
California, and in al fairness TO
Senator Downey we believe The
Fost-Fress should publish the good
things that he has doHe for this
community.
We will appreciate your publish
ing this letter.
Sincerely.

If there is labor boarding, which
leads workers to disbelieVe the ex-
istencc of manpoWer shortage, SO
that they can see no harm in TAX
ing day off when they see fit, the
ManpoWer Commission should es-
tablish the facts and set free sur
plus workers wherever they are
found
There is much that could be done,
in addition to hurting invectiVe at
deliberate malingerers. The first
need, however, is to ascertain the
facts. Can't some Washington de-
partment spare the manpoWer to
do that?

ClO Secretary Urges COl- Liberation of Labor and
 Management

New York, May 27-(UP)-James B. Carey, secretary treasurer of the Congress of Industrial Organizations, urged last night the immediate collaboration" of labor and manage ment in dealing not only with such problems as production, prices and employment, but also with postwar reconstruction
 Without planning, "the economic system runs amuck, as it did in 1929" Carey said at the 27th annual meeting of the National Industrial Conference Board.
 Other speakers included Paul G. Hoffman, of South Bend, Ind, pres ident of the Stakeholder Corporation, and chairman of the Committee for Economic Development, and Sir Norman Angel, member of the Bri- tish Labor Party and winner of the nobel peace prize in 1883.
 Why shouldn't there be immedi- ate collaboration on some of the most important questions, affecting labor, management and the govern ment?' Carey asked. "The AFL, the CIO, the NAM and the Chamber of Commerce already are represented on various advisory committees of government agencies. Why should not these groups be givne more spec fife responsibilities in preparing for the postwar transition period"
 Unless the public is educated be- yond the quite incredible economic illiteracy" it displayed after the last war, Angel asserted that the World runs the risk of plunging into a third war.
