twin-engined Mosquito bombers
hammered targets in the other great
industrial area, the Ruhr.
Only nine bombers we're lost in
the two raids, which Allied observ-
ers regarded as surprisingly few in
the light of frenzied German pre-
parations to meet the growing aer-
ial offensive from the west.
The raids came at a time when
European dispatches were reporting
a civilian exodus approaching pan
icky flight from Germany's principle
industrial cities, including Berlin.
The concentration of vital targets
in -Ludwigshafen, whose
inland port handles a volume of
traffic second only to Hamburg, and
the fact that last nights raid fol-
lowed so closely on the string of nine
attacks on Hamburg, raised the pos
sibility that it may be marked for
destruction.

BIGGER WAR PRODUCTION JOB
SEEN REQUIRED IN 1914

Washington, u. G. ULNS). - The
war production job for 1914 is at least
20 per cent bigger than the excellent
job done this year. Charles Il. Wilson,
WPB Executive Vice Chairman, told a
meeting of WPB Division Directors.
Not only is the job bigger ONE
he went on, "but one which in many
ways is more difficult since we are
entering a phase in which changes in
the program--changes that cannot be
foreSeen produce problems that re-
quire the greatest ingenuity for their
solution.
"Our job for many months to come
is to produce munitions in an ever in
creasing fow," Wilson added. Our
losses in battle are as low as they have
been because we have had a great
abundance of supplies of all kinds"
Reconversion will play some part in
the 1914 program, he said, but I'VE
must get it out of peoples heads that
the war is finished"

CONGRESS- AND SECURITY

1T IS unfortunate to say the least that the
present Congress does not seem to realize the
Importance OF adequate social Insurance. 1t is the
bulWak of free institutions and free enterprise
well as an assurance to millions of self-dependent
persons that they have the right to the minimum
subsistence in emergencies that interfere with
income earning. Our bill calls for substantial,
Wel-balanced federal system of social insurance,
with earned rights in that system distributed to
the widest possible coverage. These rights work.
ers would enjoy wherever they might have to go
in the search for employment.
Labor's social insurance amendments have been
drafted to meet the needs Of all who will be seek
ing Jobs IN industry, regardless of whether they
were formerly engaged in war civilian produc-
ton or were serving the nation in the armed
forces 1t is attempt to take care of all on the
same basis and to give none special competitive
advantage.
Our bill carefully defines the functions of q
federal employment service because this agency
is most vital to all who work for a living and
should become the repository of information
which is basic for educational, social and indus
trial progress.
Congress should consider this program as
whole, not piecemeal in order to estblish bal
anced justice and to give equal protection and
advantage to all.

FROZEN WAGES
EOR THE first time in the eXperien

ENOR THE first time in the experience OF Amer
lea, industry and labor are not free to deter
mine Jointly rates of pay for services given Work
ers have accumulated experience in getting rates
which fairly measure their contributions to JOINT
production and have established procedures Tor
accomplishing that purpose within the capacity
of industry to pay. When workers gave the gov
ernment their nO-Strike pledge they voluntarily
laid aside their reserve reliance in getting fal
wages For their protection a board was set up
to adjust disputes.
As war production expanded and took over
larger proportions of production facilities, produc-
ton of consumer goods dropped accordingly, while
national income increased to new peaks Millions
more were employed and earning incomes than at
any previous time OPA developed the theory
that consumer incomes in excess OF goods and
services available constituted an natOnary gap
and began urging the freezing of wage rates as an
aid to price control and ratoning in the preVen-
ton of runaway initiation. OPA failed to recog-
nize the fact that workers, like all patriotic and
provident persons, wanted to purchase their share
of war bonds and to pay debts which they had
incurred
The wage freezing formula in does not
compensate workers for higher costs of living
which OPA has failed to prevent. Wages are
fashioned according to formula which relies
upon an index of retail prices. The index naccur-
ately named a cOst-ol-Iiving index, does not
measure costs Of living or increases in costs OF
living. 1t measures initiation in retail prices and
reflects change in costs of living insofar as the
worker buys the articles. tOStS OF llVnG are lnui-
vdual and do not necessarily vary with prices be
cause individuals may change their buying habits.
Workers. incomes are not nIatlonary unless
spent in a way that contributes to imitation. Wage
increases spent for bonds, to pay debts, to buy
more insurance and to pay for medical services.
For millions Of Wage-ealnerS the freezing OF
wage rates means lowering OF living standards
for the worker and his family below what IS nee
essary for good health and Sef-respect. Wage
earners have a right TO d fair share of what they
help to produce. Such right is the cruX of eco
nomic Justice

MAYBE THEY'VE BEEN WORKING

A DMlRAL VlCkERY says have produced
more munitions and weapons than can be used,
and many war plants are laying off employees and
converting for manufacturing something else
Here's a peculiar situation. Charges that our
workers have been laying down on the job that
absenteClSm is losing the for us, that unions
are sabotagng have filled the daily papers and the
air, and while these defamationS are still echoing
we find ourselves with surplus of material with
which to fight.
Surely, there must be something wrong some
where, or perhaps it's Just another of those pesky
American paradoXes. The workers have been hold
ing back, SO It's said, but guns, tanks and planes
have hson rolling out Just the same.
