Inspections Delay
Steel Deliveries,
Iron Age Reports
Expansion of Plate
Facilities Declared
Behind Schedule
By the Associated Press.

BY the ASSoclated Press.
NEW YORK, April 2l.-The Iron
Age said today the controversy over
inspection of steel plates appeared
near a conclusion but that the pile
up of produced but uninspected ma
terial was threatening to slow down
the chain of operations in some pro-
ducing areas"
The trade publication said lack of
finishing and storage space brought
some plate producers face to face
with the problem of what to do with
slabs or ingots temporarily, adding
companies were not allowed to di-
vert much raw steel to products
other than those specified by the
Government.
While inspectors are double
checking all their own actions, hopes
OF obtaining additional plate from
mills which are under construction
have suffered a blow. Two units
supposed to be in operation this
spring have been delayed unavoid-
ably by reason of the aluminium ex-
pansion program and a slab mill at
another plant will require repairs
because of overloading."

Declines to Predict
What Year Holds for

BY the Associated Press.

NEW YORK, April 21.-Stock-
holders of American Telephone &
Telegraph Co. were told today by
Walter S. Clifford, president, that be-
cause OF war conditions he declined
to predict what the coming year
will bring for the Bell system"
Clifford said at the annual meet
ing the company management would
attempt everything in its power to
bring the system through the trial
OF war fundamentally unimpaired
and able to continue to furnish the
American people with the best tele-
phone service in the world
The telephone system, he said,
continues to get more business than
1t can handle with present facilities
and because of the limitations on
materials could add very little to
them.
"Our emphasis is very properly on
war needs first Clifford said. "The
result is that with the shortage of
facilities and with more and more
people wanting telephones, and with
the increased use of long distance
for war activities, telephone service
for the general public is inevitably
being adversely affected"

The Italian communique also
claimed that in a fight over the ST.

seven of the Allied planes.
Enemy bombing and machine-gun

Italian bombers attacked oil re-

heavy artillery preparation lasting
several hours, was "bloodily repelled
in heavy fight which at present
still is in progress.
Local breaches" it was said.

tacks.'
Cairo dispatches said the western

for 10 of yesterdays bag of enemy
planes and lost none of their own
aircraft.
In several engagements over Tunis
Gulf and off the northeast tip of
Tunisia four JU-88 bombers, six

"Seed Money" to Produce Jobs
will be needed after the war, the
Engineering News declared
in the first of series of advertise
ments on this subject. 1t urged the
Government to ALLOW corporations
to build reserves for this purpose.
Higher costs mean fewer sales, hence
fewer jobs. Obsolete machinery will
have to be replaced on a vast scale
in order to cut costs and this will
take money when peace comes.
Write your Congressman and re-
mind him of this important prob
lem, it advised.

A Questionable Policy

The attitude of the government toward
the retail distribution industry is becom-
ing more unreal and nightmarish Mer-
chandise costs are in many cases no
longer permitted to govern retail prices.
The latter have been arbitrarily set by
decree. In the meantime, costs of pro-
ductlon move ineXorably upward, leaving
the merchant in the fantastic position
OF trying to stop the vast tide of infla-
ton from reaching the consumer, out of
his own pocket. AS if this was not enough,
the OPA new seeks to turn every house
wife into a self-sppointed snoop With
never a suggestion that honest intention
may be the grocer's; that error is inev-
liable under OPA's complex structure,
it offers advice to consumers on How
to keep your food bill down. and sug-
gests that OPA price list be used as a
check on merchants. BY illustrations it
explains how the willful price violator can
be brought before the "War Price and
Rationing Board" and ultimately before
the bar of "Justice" to receive the verdict,
which, it is pointed out may be one year
IL jail and $4,000 fine.
1t is only right that willful violators
should be punished. But there is so
nlucn cnance 1Or error ana un1alrneSS IN
this official promotion of amateur sleuth-
ing, that It seems unAmerican and be-
meath the dignity of great and powerful
government to promote such tactics to
enforce it's orders.
Admitting that government agencies
have tough job on their hands in these
trying times and after making full allow
ance therefor, the fact remains that po-
litical opportunism plus plain bungling
within government has reached shame
less proportions and is largely responsible
for the present crucial cost of living prob
lem: Retail merchants as the final link in
the chain of civilian supply, are being
required to bear the brunt of a merciless
economic squeeze under political maneu-
vering within government that is not
credit to our nation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-31

merchants made So much money, repre-
sentative group of food chains suffered
substantial drop in net income, due
largely to narrowing profits margins,
which are now down to one percent of
sales. AS the National City Bank points
out "The decline since 1889 in net
profit margins of this group of grocery
chains serving millions of families
throughout the United States, simply
means that the advancing wholesale
prices of food, higher wage payments to
employees, rapidly rising expense, in
Guiding those of preparing the multitude
OF government reports required, mounting
costs in connection with point rationing,
aid sharply increased taxes, have in the
aggregate exceeded even the tremend-
GUS expansion made in their volume of
sales.
"The 1912 net margin of one cent per
dollar of sales, means that if a family
having an income or So, 400 spent 80 per
cent of it's budget, or $50 per month, on
food, including meat, milk, eggs, fresh
fruit and vegetables as we'll as staple
groceries, the net return to all the retail
distributors handling this business to-
tailed, on an average, but 60 cents per
month, or less than the usual price of
two movie tickets
Merchandising profits today are largely
mirage in the light of existing condi-
tons. This is not the time to try to fool
the public into thinking that the retail
industry has bottOmless sock which can
absorb any so-called price roll-back" 1t
will take more than catch phrases to sup
ply the public now.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1943-07-31

tically worked with their equip
ment, telephoned the water COM
pany, and did everything possible
to get the water pressure raised
to the point where it could eff
fectively cope with the roaring
flames.
Think of what must be the feel
ing of naval or military comman-
der as he views the approach of
the enemy and realizes that prob
ably within the next half-hour the
instruction and training of a life
time is going to be put to a su-
preme and final test. 1t was in or
der to meet such a crisis that
he disciplined himself through all
the years. Frequently men fail and
are relegated to retirement. A lack
of resources adequate to meet the
situation just at the right time
means the end Of an officers ca
reer, and may mean the safety and
welfare not only Of an army but
of a nation.
Sometimes 1t seems as II we live
our whole lives In order to be ready
for some solemn moment of de-
cision. When that moment arrives.
we must be ready TO give 1t the best
we have.
