QUESTION: DOES
ONE WAVE EQUAL
7 Men! ANSWER
BY RUTH COwAN

WITH THE AMERICAN FORCES
IN BRITAIN-The U. S. Army talks
about one WAC replacing one man
for active combat
The British after four years ex-
perience with women in the war
program rate one woman-power as
four-fifths of a man.
But the U. S. Navy, reputedly very
cautious, may shortly be talking
about one WAVE or one SPAR re-
leasing one-and- a-half or even two
men for fighting.
Admiral Young explained
Men when they join the Navy do
SO generally to go to sea. They don't
want desk jobs in Washington or at
base. If they are too good at
these desks jobs"-the admirafs eyes
twinkled = well, it's natural that
their superior officers would hate to
lose them.
"So-maybe, they just don't try
too hard. But when WAVE comes
in to do AS job, she pitches in and
works hard. First thing you know
she is doing part of BIS job.
1T could be that WAVE could
release both A and B."

Richard Greene, who left several
million feminine hearts aflutter
when he left the American screen

in the Warner Bros. English-made
picture Flying Fortress" which
tells In graphic and exciting fash
ion of the bomber ferrying service
between America and England and
a successful bombing of Berlin
target by a mighty four-motored

Greene makes his comeback to
American audiences and American

sees the necessity of service in the

Axis and who, in the final reels,
gives tremendous proof Of his

pRIBIL0F PLANT

WASHINGTON, Jan. Is. - The
Fish and Wildlife Service will soon
solicit bids for material and equip
ment needed TO enlarge the plant in
the Pribilof Islands for the pro-
ducing of fur, seal meal and oil
by-product of the fur seal industry
Secretary of the Interior Harold
L. Ickes said last month that Con-
gress had appropriated $135,000 to
build an addition to the plant on
st. Paul Island. Although record
take of 117,164 seal skins were OBJ
tanned last season, Ickes said that
because of lack of sufficient plant
facilities only $4,000 carcasses could
be proecssed.
The yield was about 100000 pounds
of meal valued at $4,000 and $4,000
gallons of oil valued at SOL 900. Seal
meal is used for poultry feed and
seal oil for leather tanning

between the American Legion and the American Federation of Labor"
 Marking a distinction between the policy of the AFL and recent insur- gent developments in certain CIO unions, Mr. Green said:
 Our seven million members gave their no-strike pledge for the duration of the war and they are determined to iveup to it faith fully until the American flag flies over the ramparts of Berlin and Tokyo and our enemies surrender uncOnditiOnally."
 MT. Green devoted a large portion of his address to a discussion of steps taken by AFL unions to help return ing servicemen get jobs.
 He stressed the fact that the AFL has urged all its unions to admit honorabIy discharged servicemen into membership without payment of initiation fees. He pointed out that the l,5OO,OOO l servicemen who are AFL members have been kept in good standing without payment of dues and that their seniority has been protected by their unions.
 Finally, MT. Green pledged the AFL to strive for a more effective

national action, determination to keep America's national defense strong after the war ends and as- pirations to banish ''the last ves- tiges of poverty, ignorance and in- tolerance from our beloved land.' ''
 It is therefore unfortunate, he said that misunderstanding and differ ences have arisen which make it diff fcult flor the members of our two organizations to achieve complete unity of thought and action
 Such misunderstanding have de- veloped, Mir. Green charged, be- cause representatives of the Legion have been quick to condemn labor because of strikes but have re- mained strangely silent on labor's wartime achievements, even while the nations leaders have given labor unqualified praise.

called planning boards. There is much to be done in a legislative way as bills are constantly coming up that are to our detriment and which can only be enumerated by a united front in the building and construction industry.
 "We trust you will give this mat ter serious consideration and recom- mend to each and every one of your locals, that they become affiliated with us so that we can count on their ac- tive support.
 Endorsement of the State Building Trades Council came after Dennis P. Byrnes, business agent of Local 19O, Bridgeport, pointed to the necessity of a strong, aggressive state unit.
 The delegates heard communi- cation from Michael w. Mccarthy. general president of the Contract ing Master Painters of America, and Lawrence Lindelof, general president of the Brotherhood, en- dOrsing efforts to arrange a state- wide meeting of employers and workers in the industry to plan for postwar activities.
 The conference endorsed the United Community and War Fund, and di- rected its members to york for its success. The secretary of the Con- ference Is A. J. McKeon.

Conn.C Conference 0fPaintersVotes Council Support
All Locals Are Urged To Affiliate With State
 Building Trades

Full support to the Connecticut State Building Trades Council was voted by the Connecticut Confer ence of Painters, held at the New Haven Labor Temple Sunday. After the reading of a letter to the Con- ference from James O'Kane, secre- tary-treasurer of the State Build ing Trades Council, it was unani- mously voted to urge all painters locals in the state to affiliate with the State Council. The fine prog ess made by the State Council was remarked upon by number of delegates.
 The problem of apprentice painters was taken up by the Conference, after hearing an address by Perley Hovey, of the w. M. C. Apprentice Training service. It was voted to en- dorse the apprentice plan, and bring it to the attention of all locals. The setting up of labor management com mittees for this purpose where con- tractors associations exist was recom- mended. Michael White, International Representative, attended the session, which voted to hold its next meeting ill New Haven on Jan. 2l, l945.
 The text of the Ietter sent to the Painters Conference by Sec,-Treas. O'Kane, follows:
 May I take this opportunity to extend to all your affiliated local unions as invitation to join and par ticipate in the activities of the Con- necticut State Building Trades Coun- cil which, no doubt, you know is in the process of reorganization. The support and cooperation of each and every local union is needed to make this movement the success 1t should be.

 ''America's debt to those who have given their lives in the war can never be repaid" Mir. Green concluded, ''but we can and must do everything possible to make up to those who will return the Op- pOrtunities they have sacrificed, and the hardships they have en- dured. Toward the attainment of these goals, the workers of Amer ica will be proud to march hand in-hand with the members of the American Legion and the veterans of this war;"

Says Character
 Was Besmerched

NIVlan NcllcnS. WcdIluy Connecticut industrialist, has filed suit in the San Francisco federal court for $5OO,OOO against the California ClO Council, the Labor Herald and nearly a score of persons listed as connected with the paper or the state council, its sponsoring body.
 She charged defamation ot character in front page article which appeared in the Herald April IA, 1914. The suit cited several statements including one saying that Jesse Randolph Kel- lens, COP candidate for Con- gress from Los Angeles, was getting unwelcome publicity as the brother of the notorious Vivian Kellems, wealthy Con necticut cut-up, whose core spondence with a leading Nazi operative in Argentina recently made news"
 The story, which carried Los Angeles dateline, also stated that CIO leaders were ''not surprised by the reasonable activities of Jesse's sister Vivian and are redoubling their efforts to prevent Jesse from carrying into Congress his anti administration, prO-isOlatiOnists at- tacks."
 An attempt was made the same day to file an identical suit in the Los Angeles federal court, but a technl- cal error in typing of the papers caused its temporary rejection. Miss Kellems said it would be filed the following day. Miss Kellems is tour ing the west coast making addresses on behalf of her brother and against Pres. Roosevelt, Rep. John Coffee O., Wash.), and the New Deal.
 Among those named in the suit were California CIO Pres. James G. Thinmes, Sec. Merwyn Rathborne, Editor Harold Rossman of the Labor Herald and 13 other CIO officials and employees whose work had no con- nection with either the writing or printing of the story. The actual writer of the story was not sued.
 The complaint, which says the news story caused Miss Kellems "great mental anguish, modification and humiliation" says that she is native born citizen of the U. s. whose an- cestors came to this country in 1885 and that she "has always conducted herself with fidelity to the U. s. and has thereby come to enjoy .. "a good name and reputation
 The Labor Herald lashed back boldly at Miss Vivien Kellems s'The Labor Herald will continue to call a spade spade and Miss Kellems fascist" the paper declared in a front page editorial.
 Anyone who agitates a tax strike against the government in wartime is engaged in reasonable operations" the Herald pointed out. SWe welcome the opportunity to go before any American court of justice and uphold that state- menf."
 Miss Kellems made the headlines last winter for refusing to pay her income tax and urging other indus triaIists to do likewise. She hit the limeligat again when Rep. Coffee demanded am investigation of let- ters she wrote to an alleged Nazi agent in Argentina, Count Fred erick Karl vOn Zerlitz.
 Filing of the suit provided a convenient opportunity for Miss KeIlems to hand viruient attack on the Roosevelt administration.

Babson Park, Mass. Oct 20 -
Many businessmen and investors
are becoming frightened at the
thought Of the huge pensions, etc,
with which the nation will be burd-
ened after the war. In fact, Harry
l.. Hopkins, the Presidents closest
advisor. in the current issue of
American Magazine" calls also for
more benefits and bonuses. In.
stead of suggesting a general tax
reduction, he demands lifting all
taxes from those in the lower
brackets and increasing minimum
wages to fifty cents an hour. Ger
tainly, this will not encourage
businessmen TO enter new ventures
and employ more people.
Hedging Against Higher Wages
When the price controls and the
excess profits taxes are removed,
most businessmen can pass on a
good portion of their taxes. This.
however. cannot be done by those
who have retired from active bust
ness except through most careful

the investments by which investors
can compensate for these federal
expenditures for pensions, Social
Security, relief. etc? | believe that
one answer lies with putting ones
money into good merchandising
stocks.
You see that people who are to
get veterans or old-age pensions
and, in fact, Social Security will not
save the money; but will immedi.
ately spend it at the food, variety
and chain stores In the neishtor
hood Hence, one way for inves.
tors to protect themselves Is to
own stocks in these stores. In
stead of fighting pensions, bene-
fits, Hopkins minimum wages or
Hillman's labor union rates. it may
be safer in the end to let the po-
liticians give this money to the
people and then collect It back
again through the stores at which
they trade
Buy Merchandising Stocks
But there are other reasons for
buying good chain store stocks be-
sides those above given. Consider
the following:
1. Very few OF these merchan-
dizing chains have bonds outstand-
ing and a number have no preferred
stock. I like best common stocks
