With 80 States and 20 colleges
represented in the new freshman
class of more than 20 members
the school OF medicine Of George
Washington University is entering
on its 10th year. The total enroll
ment Of 292 is virtually a capacity
figure:
Ranking officers Of the Army and
Navy medical services and distin-
guished members Of the medical
profession from private life were
present with other guests at the
opening of the new school year Mon
day, when Maj. Gen. James G..
Magee, surgeon general of the
Army. spoke of the likelihood that
many OF, the students were destined
to be in the armed forces, and told
of the important role they would
play, both during and after the war.
Tropical Disease Fight.
In particular. Gen. Magee stressed
the part those would take who are
trained in tropical disease control.
Pointing to the expansion Of the in
ternational relationships Of this
country, he continued:
These international relationships
will represent largely intimate con-
tact with many nations lying within
the bounds of the tropic zone. I feel
that one Of the important features
Of that relationship will be a union
of effort toward the control OF
disease.
THAT means, believe, that for a
long time to come American medi-
cine will be forced to regard tropical
disease as its greatest problem.
Those of you who are best informed
on tropical diseases will be most
effective in establishing good health
among the peoples"

Is it any wonder, then, that the
American people are fed up with Con-
gress-with the rabid reactionaries,
the ranting demagogues and the
vicious and corrupt representatives
of entrenched wealth who make up a
large part of its membership?
Yes, labor still has friends in Con-
gress-honest and sincere men and
women who are responsive to the will
of the people and concerned about
their welfare. But these friends of
labor are taking a licking, not be-
cause they are outnumbered but be-
cause the opposition is more vocifer-
Gus and commands a better press.
1t is up to labor and the common
people generally to back up their
friends in Congress with a flood Of
letters and kilograms making known
their views. And it is up to labor and
the great majority of the voters to
remember the transgressions of their
false representatives and sweep them
out Of office at the next elections.
That's the only way Congress can
regain it's lost prestige.

and constructive leadership are vital
to victory and the future welfare of
the American way of life.
Profits Out of the Can
Yes, we said corrupt. Consider the
facts. Here we are faced with situa-
tion on the home front where people
are being robbed right and left by
price profiteers. Is Congress doing
anything about it? Certainly. Power
ful and infuentials blocs are busy put
ting the heat on the Office of Price
Administration to open the gates
wider and provide larger opportuni-
ties for particular ''friend" of theirs
to gouge deeper into the pockets of
the masses of the people.
Take the question of grade-labeling.
The OPA was caught in a dilemma
Labor and consumer groups insisted
that the Government require Gamers
and packers to label their goods ac-
cording to quality. This was step
advocated by the honest packers
themselves to protect the public from
being gypped by chiselers anxious to
sell low-grade products at top prices.
Of course, the chiselers objected and
they found support among some
officials of OPA. However, it seemed
that labor would win the fight until
Congress stepped in. A committee was
hastily authorized to investigate.
Under this indirect form of intimida
ton the OPA showed yellow streak
and abandoned grade-labeling.
Then take the question of labor leg
islation. There is group in Congress
that lies in wait like wolf-pack
ready to jump at the throat of Amer
lean workers and their union organi-
cations at every opportunity.

inequalities and to make adjustments
which would aid in the prosecution of
the war; and (2) to freeze the Little
Steel" formula by executive order and
make the board merely an enforce
ment agency for that order.
Since April s the labor representa-
tives on the board have not been in a
position to ask unions not to strike
because the board has no power to
hear dispute cases on their merits.
Unions are advised not to press for
decision on cases before the board be-
cause the board must refuse every
wage increase.
Such a situation cannot last long.
1t will certainly come to head at
the end of this week or the first of
next week.

Chain Stores Cut
Working Force

Albany, N. Y. ULNS).-In the
month up to the middle of March most
retail chain food stores cut work
forces. Independents lost most heavily
in their meat departments. Bakery
goods stores increased their forces
somewhat, in the overall picture. Re-
tail trade generally was good, with
apparel and department stores show
ing h eaviest gains. Construction
trades employment dropped again,
but payrolls advanced 2.9 percent.

FACING G.
THE -
FACTS
With PHILIP PEARL

Some time ago, the members of
Congress were said to be deeply con-
cerned by the realization that the
people of America hold the legisla-
tive branch of our Government in
contempt.
For while this topic occupied
space in newspaper headlines, was
discussed at length by columnists and
aired over radio forums. Then, like
most other nine-day wonders, interest
tagged and the subject was dropped.
This does not mean to say, however,
that popular scorn for the members
of Congress has abated. In our opin-
ion it has increased. And the fault lies
entirely with the members of Con-
gress themselves.
Never, in our memory, has any leg
islative body shown itself so impo-
tent and corrupt and contemplate as
our present-day Congress of the
United States.
Never have representatives of the
people failed so dismally in their duty
OF representing the people.
This failure is all the more shocking
and serious because it comes at time
when our nation is in the midst of
. war crisis, when sound judgment

go to town. The Connally bill was re-
ferred to committee packed against
labor whose members are even now
rewriting the bill to include every
foul scheme they can imagine to de-
stroy the rights of wage-earners and
cripple the trade-union movement.
The men who are doing these things
were elected by the people of their
States and communities to represent
them. Who are the majority of these
people? They are small wage-earners
workers and farmers. They are the
people that the members of Con-

Wage Increase Granted
1900 Bakery Drivers

An increase averaging $5.04 per
week for more than 1900 drivers of
40 Chicago wholesale baking compan-
les was unanimously approved by the
National War Labor Board Trucking
Commission. The commission found
that the increase was within the 10
per cent cost-of-living adjustment
permitted in the boards wage policy.
Average weekly earnings in Janu-
airy 194l was $49.59. No increase has
been granted since that time, and the
permitted 15 percent increase to COM
pensate for the increased cost of liv-
ing would average $7.44, or $2.4O
more than was approved in the COM
missions order.

LABOR CRISIS IS
EASED AS WLB WAGE
POWER IS RESTORED

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Once
again the wheels of the National War
Labor Board will begin to turn after
an almost complete stoppage result
ing from the "hold the line" order of
April 8, which took away the boards
powers, for this week Economic Stabi-
lization Director James F. Byrnes re-
turned to the board all it's former
powers.
The board may now make increases
to the "going rates" in each labor
market area in accordance with it's
power to adjust gross inequities.
In exceptional cases, the board may
authorize wages above the minimum
of the going wage bracket, under the
authority of aiding effective prosecu-
tion of the war.
The Little Steel Formula will still
be applied to allow for 'maladiust-
ments" with the cost of living. Sub
standard living conditions may be cor
rected above the Little Steel Formula.
Byrnes retained the right to review
wage adjustments ordered by the
board which affect prices, or produc-
tion costs, power which he has had
since October when his Office was
created.
There are about 10000 cases before
the board on which action will be
taken in very short time.
And the Administration managed to
leave no loophole which would insure
to the United Mine Workers the So a
day wage increase demanded by John
L. Lewis.
