Heavy cuts in the amount of farm

AFL Representative Robert j.
Watt and Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt

mon-Attorney General Francis
Biddle and ]. Edgar Hoover. Pres
ident Roosevelt is authority for

Watt was somewhat piqued at
Biddle when he spoke with the
President recently about labor mat

supporting subversive organiza-

"a little bird tells me that you
and Francis (Biddle) are having
some difficulties" the News quotes
Roosevelt during the interview.
"Mr. President" Watt replied,

a copy of Biddle dosier in which
he was rated quite subversive.

Roosevelt is quoted. Nothing at

Victory Flags

Victory Service Flags which are
being distributed through the ia
cilities of the Toledo Union Jour-

appearance in many homes today.
This flag is easily seen either
from the interior or exterior of
the home proclaims to all that a
son, daughter, brother, father, or
near relative is serving in the
forces of his or her country.
Already there have been in
quiries from churches, manufactur-
ing plants and lodges as to how
they may secure large Victory
Service Flag to be displayed in
honor of their workers or mem
bers who are now serving in this
all out war to beat Axis domina-
tion.
Just as the service flag in the
last war became a symbol of serv-
ice so it is believed that the Vic
tory Service Flag which is direct
descendant of the flag designed
by the late Col. K. l.. Queisser of
Cleveland for the last war, will be-
come not only symbol of serv-
ice but a symbol of Victory as
well.

in on your menus.
What to do about those rec
ipes calling for whipped cream?
You can use a little of the cream
off the top of the bottle, if you
chill it well for a day or so, and
chill the bowl which you use for
whipping and the beaters
too. Some of the brands of
canned milk will also whip. if
they're well chilled, along with
the bowl and beaters.
If you're unable to obtain
chocolate or cocoa sometimes at
the grocer's, use victory type of
cookies utilizing honey, corn
syrup and the wheat flour for
darker cakes.
Inexpensive delicacies to help

S+andord Oil Signs
Union Contract
BY Federated Press

TEXAS CITY, Tex, Dec. 81
The Oil Workers Organizing Cam
paign (CIO) has obtained its first
contract with a Standard Oil COM
pany. Standard of Indiana has ac-
cepted recommendations of Ma
tional War Labor Board panel to
sign a contract which included
checkoff and union security.
This development brought i'm
proved grievance procedure, SEMI
ority and training programs to
more than 1000 white and Negro
workers in the refinery here. The
contract also was the first Standard
Oil pact in the southwest for the
Oil Workers international Union.
CIO President Philip Murray
said the pact contains "many sound
features of union-management CO.
operation which augur well for fu-
ture relationships with other STAN
dard Oil units The need for
between unions and
management in order to win the
war is strongly exemplified in the
terms of this Pan-Am contract" ="
OWOC Director Edwin S. Smith
said: "The time has come for man.

past animosities and to explore the
possibilities of common understand
ing and cooperation"

The statement accused them of
"doing a better job for the Goeb-

bona fide fifth columnists." 1t also
called for greater representation of

Farm. Labor. Consumer
Groups Urged TO Concern
Themselves On Food Needs

month in advance because of the
tremendous difficulties of placing
il into effect. A field organization
Of a million and half volunteers
will issue ration book No. 2. The
printing alone, 0PA said, is slow
and burdensome. 1t is all farmed
out through the Government Print
ing Office.
Pleads For Subsidies
Montgomery made a strong plea
for government subsidies to offset
high wartime costs Of getting
foods produced and processed. The
alternative, he said, is that they
will be subsidized by consumers
pocketbooks, as seems TO be the
prospect now.
Distribution methods to date
have made only slight adjustment
to tire, truck and gasoline short
ages, he said. Food is no longer
luxury, but a munition Of war"
he said. Every necessary step
must be taken by the government
to see that the food we have is dis
tributed according to human needs.
Other points he made were:
Food At Low Prices
To make up for other foods hard
to get: large supplies Of potatoes
and whole wheat bread and flour
should be provided at low prices.
Milk should be rationed to children
and expectant mothers at prices
they can pay, or given free if
necessary.
Every possible one Of the 10000
million pounds Of skim milk fed
to livestock should be diverted TO
use as human foods. Margarine
should be freed Of its legal restric-
tions so as to provide a cheap table
and cooking fat.
Delivering a brief obituary on
the Agriculture Departments con-
sumers' counsel, Montgomery said
it had not met its objectives, but
that for nine years it had fought
for the consumer and encouraged
growth Of self-reliant consumer
organizations.
1t was called dangerous" by ad-
vertisers, he said, "subversive" by
Rep. Martin Dies d., Texas) and
an official conscience" by Vice
President Henry Wallace, who
started it.

THE LIMELIGHT

IN THE LIMELIGHT
Small business is again in the
limelight. The committee on small
business of the House of Repre-
sentatives has made a brief sum-
mary report on certain situations
that are urgently in need of re-
lief"
The three urgent items listed by
the committee were: (1 the fail
ure of the Smaller War Plants
Corp. to function satisfactorily;
(2) price squeezes and inadequate
distribution of merchandise under
the Office of Price Administra-
tion, and (3) bureaucracy run
riot" in the form of unnecessary
questionnaires, administrative reg
ulations and governmental red
tape"
The committee report is based on
Investigations and on open hear
ings in which representatives of
more than 100 organizations were
questioned.
The three urgent" items listed
by the committee may be tested out
in any general field of small busi-
ness such as the sale of gasoline,
oil and motor car parts, replace
ments and gadgets. What are the
primary difficulties is such field?
The first and most obvious Difficult
ty is the reduction in the available
amount of merchandise. The deal
ers cannot get goods. The second
difficulty is the rationing and the
priorities restrictions upon the sale
of the few goods that remain on
the dealers shelves. The urgents
listed by the committee are sub
ordinate to these two basic con-
siderations.
CONGRESS FAILS
Congressional committees have
thus far failed to face up to the
real situation. Donald M. Nelson,
WPB chief, has frequently limited
at it, and before his resignation
from OPA, Leon Henderson often
referred to it indirectly. Under
present conditions the machinery
of total war economy may func-
tion successfully with the number
of small businessmen in the U. S.
cut down by at least one half.
The Washington administration
is committed to program in which
the first consideration is victory
over the Axis powers. To win this
victory the administration has de-
termined to organize, equip and
support U. S. armed forces with
personnel of around 10 millions.
Furthermore, the program calls
for arms and equipment for several
of the United Nations, notably
Great Britain, the Soviet Union
and, to lesser degree, China, and
for the feeding and supplying of
large civilian populations in the
United Nations as we'll as in occu-
pied Europe and North Africa.
These are the urgents of the ad-
program. AS this pro-
gram has so far been administered,
small business in the U. S. will be
progressively decimated.
ADMINISTRATION SUCCESS
The success of the administration
program demands that:
/. The economic appartus must
work productivity and smoothly,
with a minimum of friction (com-
petition and duplication).
2. At least 65 millions must be
yainfully employed in the coordi-
lated production effort. This num-
Der will include millions formerly
in small business.
3. Civilian consumption will be
,ut to about $50 of the 1882 de-
preston volume, when millions of
