Washington, May 1l.-(UP)-The
War Labor Board inferentially has
asserted that President RooSevelt'S
hold the line oder Of April was
unnecessary insofar as its handling
Of wage and salary increase de-
mandS was concerned.
A report sent TO the Senate by the
board yesterday said that 1t "haS
succeeded in so controlling wage
and salary increases since Septem-
Der, 1912. that they have not added
perceptibly. either directly or indi-
rectly, 10 the cost of living burden
Of the American people
There was no sign of an answer
from Economic Sterilization Direc-
tor James F.. Byrnes TO the VILE
request for relaxation of the hold
the line order. Pending that answer
the board is laying aside all cases
involving inequalities and inequities
in wages, a consideration that the
order wiped out. The board feels that
wage increases are still feasible
where such grounds are the bases
for the request
The WLB report to the Senate was
made under Senate resolution OF
April 9 and will be supplemented by
monthly statistics. 1t covered the
period from September, 1912, to
April /.
Wage adjustments approved by
the board since September, 1912, ac-
cording to the letter of transmittal
accompanying the report, had a
microscopic effect" upon prices. The
letter, which WLB Chairman Will
liam H. Davis addressed to Vice
President Henry A. Wallace, said
that of all the voluntary wage adj
justments approved only eight of
1900 cases resulted in upward re-
vision of prices.
THE board, therefore, has been
able TO make great strides toward
stabilizing wages without affecting
the price structure Davis said.
Wages we're controlled. he said,
despite the increased difficulties
faced by the board because OF the
increases in the prices of things
which the wage and salary earners
purchase"
The report said that an exact
measurement OF the accomplishment
of the board In holding down its
end OF the line was provided in the
fact that straight-time hourly rates
in manufacturing industries in
creased only l.9 cents. or 2,3 per
cent, between September, 1912, and
February, l943. the latest month
for which figures were available.
Even this small figure Davis said
because it includes factors such as
upgrading and shifts to hieh-paid
war jobs, ovcrstates the actual
change IN basic wage and salary
rates since last October"
The report said that the total
volume OF wage and salary payments
will increase without any changes IN
basic wage and salary payments be-

Rev. J. Donnclly can people, he
died "unhonored, unwept and I'M
sung" Even the New York Times
In It's obituary made plain his char
acter to its readers,
THE SAME PATTERN
Canabal has died, He had his
day and has now gone TO join IN
eternity the other budding tyrants
who lived to learn that he who at
tempts to destroy the Church really
destroys himself. 1t Is an oft proven
fact of history that the Catholic
church seems to be the bette noire
of every sadist who gets the reins
of political power into his hands.
The Church Is complimented by be-
ing the first object OF attack OF every
one OF these madmen for they seem
to realize that they can get no.
where until they get the Church
out OF the way. But they have their
day and then pass away. True the
Church suffers, but like Christ she
suffers only TO rise to new free
dom, q new glory and a new oppor-
tunity to work for the salvation OF
souls. Behold I am with you all
days even to the contamination OF
the world" Christ is keeping that
promise.
TO this truth Tobasco has now
added Its testimony. A few months
ago new bishop was consecrated
In the city decked In festive spirit
for the occasion. Priests are again
ministering to the people and Cath
olicity Is stronger there today than
when Canabal started his dlobolical
and bloody persecution.

When your Victory Garden has
become well established, the i'm
portant problem is how to take care
of it properly.
Providing the good care needed
by q successful garden is an all
season job, but If you are faithful
during the first part Of the season,
the work Of the latter part will be
much lighter.
During the early stages, the crops
probably will need working about
once a week to keep down weeds.
The plant food you have added In
the form OF fertilizer should go to
nourish the food crops, not the
weeds. so should the moisture.
Weeds draw heavily on BOTH and
also shade out the vegetables. Your
plants cannot produce good crops
If they have to fight constant
battle with weeds for food, water,
and sunlight.
BEST REMEDY Is HOE
The best remedy for weeds is a
hoe III the hands of gardener
who wants his plants TO have good
care and fair chance to produce
food. Here are some pointers on how
to use your hoe;
AS soon as the garden is dry
enough after q rain, break the
crust to prevent baking as well as
to destroy weeds. But don't do this
while the ground is too wet, or the
soil will be lumpy and harder than
ever.
When you start to work with
the hoe, remember that a weed, no
matter where it may be in your
garden plot, is using plant food and
moisture your vegetables should
have for vigorous growth,
II you dig too depely when you
cultivate, there is danger Of dam
aging vegetables should have for
vigorous growth.
II you dig too deeply when you
cultivate, there Is danger Of dam
aging vegetable roots near the sur
face. You can turn out small weeds
with q hoe very easily and still do
only shallow digging If there arc
weeds so close to the plants you
can't reach them safely with tools,
pull them out by hand,
Experienced gardeners seldom
leave pulled weeds, even small ones,
lying where they fall because they've
learned the weeds may take root
and start all over again, Careful
gardeners gather them up to throw
on the compost heap.
Many successful gardeners rec

Rationing Of Fats May Prove

tine, which Is converted by the liver
into Vitamin A.
Vitamin d can be stored in the
adult body during the winter and
rcplenished by the action of the sun
on the skin In summer, since sun
shine Is It's chief source. Infants
and children under three are not
able to store Vitamin ID In sufficient
quantities and may take 1t regularly
in the form of codliver oil concen-
trates or the synthetic preparations
such as viosterol.
The restriction Of fats in the diet
OF those who are overweight will be
of great benefit to them, and may
result in the release and conversion
into energy of some of the fat they
have been boarding under their own
skins.
TASTE Is HABIT
Habit and custom have made but
ter particularly palatable to us. IT
Is, however, possible to change one S
tastes with necessity. and to utilize
other forms of fat as they appear IN
available quantity. Italians prefer
olive oil to butter. and Eskimos cat
whale blubber with the greatest rel
ish!
Animal fats are rare in China,
and the average intake is infinitely
small compared with ours. There is
reason to believe that the low Incl
dence Of hardening of the arteries
and high blood pressure may, be the
result of this small allowance OF ami
nal fat. If such is the case, the re-
strictions enforced by rationing may
prove boon to the national health.
In this country the average man
eats from two to four ounces of fat
daily, or from one-folTth to one
third Of his daily caloric intake. He
can do with less.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-05-11

What Is known about fat? 1t is,

Catholic Thought And Opinion
BY REV. JOSEPH F. DONNELLY

and we quote them with pride but
with no spirit of Boosting for In
this hour of need We must not
measure out the service We shall
give our country but rather seek
new opportunities of service, The
paragraphs read as follows;
SURPRISING FIGURES
ut is not possible TO get the actual
number of Catholics in the United
States Army, although 1t is known
to the government. We learn, how
ever, from a source that we believe
conservative and authentic, that
the proportion Is now SO per cent
considerably more than the public
has thought. The Navy we are told,
runs higher than the Army, and the
Marines have more than the Navy.
The Navy is estimated at more than
so per cent Catholic.
~, S. chaplains whom We have
consulted privately about these sta
tLstics, men with long military eX-
perience who are in a position TO
know, are not inclined to think them
exaggerated. The Catholic military
figures are running high above the
usually accepted Catholic proportion
OF the general population. Undoubt-
edly the statistics contain no little
fringe Of men whose families have
not been practical In their religion
and yet who profess themselves 10
be Catholics. On the other hand
the fact that Catholic families are
larger than Others and hence have
more young men to serve the flag,
plus the added truth that boys who
go to church usually live cleaner
lives than other lads and hence are
In better physical condition, has
q great deal to do with the higher
Catholic proportion.
The figure 38 per cent holds In
a number of camps, falls In some
OF the southern ones and rises much
higher in sections where the assured
Catholic civil population Is partic-
ularly strong.
We believe that 1t would help war
morale TO have the official figures
released. We remind our readers
that our statistics are not official
and are necessarily based on esti-
mates"
WORRIED COMMUNIST
Now and again the comrades OF
the Communist party peek out from
behind their screen Of prated rell-
glouS liberty and one can gather
enough evidence to disillusion some
OF those fooled by their absurd lies,
Here Is an instance,
Fletcher Plat who writes col
umn In The Worker under the title
"F'ilm Front is disturbed, Are we
IN for a new kind OF screen cScap-
Ism, a cycle OF religious filmsp" he
asks twentieth Century has

The Robe by Lloyd Douglas, War
ners are busting off Reinhards
THE Miracle and Papini's Life OF

Then Mr.. Plat after paragraph
Of devious comment concludes with

cation: ANY man who can allow
