Gilbert House

That municipal officials do not
intend to become involved in main
tenance OF Gilbert House was re-
vealed Friday night in informal
discussion by members Of city
council.
The council has been requested
to have playground equipment
moved from Gilbert Park and in
stalled at Gilbert House. to re.
move road supplies and equipment
from the grounds and to put the
land in condition for use as a play
ground.
Councilmen pointed out that
when the project was first under.
taken they had a specific under
standing that the city share was
only to allow use of the building.
Removal of road equipment from
the tennis court was found not
feasible as the city has already
gone to expense Of having the
street patch mixer erected there
and has built a road and loading
place at that spot. Concrete OF
the court was also reported as
cracked to such an extent that il
would not be suitable for use as
a court.
Investigation OF equipment in
Gilbert park led aldermen to the
belief that more should be added
there rather than any taken from
it.
That Prospect Park should pro
vide ample space for children in
the northwest section of the city
was also pointed out.

DEWEY'S MOTTO: BE PREPARED"

Republican boosters of Tom Dewey say he already has chosen the man who will manage his Pres idential campaign if things look propitious six months hence. He is Edwin F Jaeckle, Republican State chairman of New York. Jaeckle re gently sold his home in Buffalo preparatory to throwing himself full tilt into the drive to sell Dewey as the 1914 nominee.
 A nationwide tour to line up convention delegates is bein g planned, but meantime Jaeckle has been busy with some minor chores. Recently he was host at a cocktail party in Washington for various COP Congressmen, especially the Ohio delegation, probably aimed at cutting the ground from Ohio's colorless Presidential hopeful, Gov. John w. Bricker.

Glider Freight Trains
(New York Times}

(NeW 1OrK l1nleSt
 Some time may still elapse before the heavens are darkened by swarms of aerial freight trains gliding to distant ports the seven seas Yet the first train from America, lowed through $500 miles of Atlantic storms has just unloaded It's cargo in England It was only one-glider train It car ried only ton and half of freight But 1t may be the pioneer of future traffic of which the world today has hardly dreamed.
 Great issues spring from small beginnings. The massive fighting fleets that span present skies to decide the whole course of history are the pro- geny of the Wrights twelve second flight at Kitty hawk The Wrights made that first feeble test of motored air power win little experience to guide them But the history of gliding goes back to 1871, when Otto Liienthal began to demonstrate the lift ine force of the atmosphere The Wrights themselves experimented with gliders before they used motor
 The war has brought startling glider developments. The Germans with their head start in this field, took Crete with troop-manned gliders. They em- ployed glider trains extensively in Norway and Rus sia and lowed hundreds of gliders in and out of Africa The British last November sent glider trains of pararoops from England to Algiers Last year we heard many encouraging reports of glider develop ment in our own Army. This year our gliders have been absent from the possibly because they are being held for the invasion of Europe.
 But the glider will have it's use in peace as well as in war If one glider can be lowed successfully across the ocean, technical research will surely enable trains of several or to follow. Locomotive nanes have already lowed three gliders at once in test flights Plane-carried freight may always be somewhat limited by its cost But gders, even with the eighty -four-foot wingspread of the American built craft that made the historic trip to England can be turned out at no great expense Considering the progress of aviation, the possibilities of this new aerial commerce are breath-taking After the wings of war are folder the wings of peace may still be multiplying by their tens of thousands borrowed power

Donald M. Nelson's report on the clothing situa- ton is encouraging. He declares there little dan ger of clothes raoning that if the current program is carried out as he fells it will be, allotment of wearing apparel will be entirely unnecessary. This laudabe condition comes about because of com binaton of reasons all of which are important and significant.
 First MT Nelson states, merchants are cooper ating in an unselfsh program designed to cut down types of buying which might bring shortages Manu- facturers too Mir Nelson says are soidly behind the program to head off ratoning. By the reduction of the number of styles and by the production and sales of low-priced clothing much can be accom- pished to prevent panic buying of expensive fabrics and modes

EpR-MuRRAY FIREWORKS

Some hot words were exchanged between the President and C1Ol leader Phil Murray when Murray and other members of the AFL- CIO combined war council called at the White House to discuss wage and price controls.
 Murray bluntly charged tn e President with going back on his promise to roll back prices to September Is, l942.
 You haven't done what you said you were going to do, MT. President" the CIO chief declared Labor is getting tired of being a football" Obviously nettled by the charge that he hadn't kept his word, the President pressed his lips together, then reminded Murray in frigid tones that if he could get any bet ter cooperation from Congress on price subsidies and other issues than he tRooseveH9 had received,
 
 Murray was welcome to try.
 Furthermore. he added, acidly, no administration had done more to improve living conditions fol the working man than his own.
 I'm not trying to censure your administration" countered Murray, but the record is pretty clear in this case. The War Labor Board is doing all in it's power to hold down labor, but these other fel- lows, like Byrnes tJames Byrnes, chief of the Office of War Mobili- zationl and Brown tPrentiss Brown, head of the OPAl aren't doing anything about controlling the prices the working man has to pay. T realize that you've got your hands full running this war, but the time has come to speak out about some of those around you who are supposed to be handling the domestic situation. No one seems to be concerned about in creases in the price of things the working man has to buy. The OPA has been letting prices run wild. But every time labor asks for an adjusted increase in wages, there's roar of protest"
 The CIO leader launched into
 
 for 'vetoing legitimate requests by labor" for pay increases, intimat- ing that the OWM chief was look ing after the interests of manage ment in industrial wage disputes.

ation In earlier days of the war tremendous number of our people thought of their personal comfort and luxury first; of their duty to the war economy second Had this attiture persisted, and had it been carried to the purchase Of clothing, rationing would have been in the cards, regardless of how earnestly industry and government worked to prevent it.
 It was on that me first" attitude that the cloth ing ration rumors-some of them probably subver- sively nspired-were founded. It is good to know that as the war progresses Americans generally adopting more serious and unselfsh view. To us this is the most significant implication in the whole Nelson statement.
