THERE IS no question of the Wis

ton for broadened franchise in the
minds of the people.
There is apparently no organized
opposition to 1t within the govern

The only factors which seem to
be delaying it are the apathy Of gov
eminent and the lack of initiative on
the part Of some Of the people
Since there was no government
apathy and no lack of public militia.

NTASHINGTON. March 16-
W Signs that Stain is over
playing his hand in world az
fairs are evident behind the
daily news.
His comrades in Italy have
been cawing against the king
and Badoglio, and the American
government went along in quiet
aCquiesCence a galnSt perma-
nently establishing either. Yet
Stain now has come along and
granted Badogho an apparent
permanenCy Of recognition as a
government by exchanging am
baSSadOrS.
In the long and similar
French pntItTCa difficulties,
Stain granted the French Com
mittee OF Liberation a diplo-

THE American position is clear
Il 10 me-and incontestably
right In Italy, there are a

If Steelworkers> Get Raise
How About White Collar Bows?

Smith, while collar worker,
sees the Steelworkers get a Is
per cent increase and asks the
Treasury for permission to give
Smith a l5 per cent increase,
which would not be a common
practise in that firm.
What would be the Treasury's
attitude?
Probably II would follow the
WLB's lead, if WLB gave the
steelworkers a raise. And this
is why:
Actually, the WLB couldn't
gave the steelworkers a raise.
1t lacks the power. 1t could only
recommend TO the President
that the Steelworkers get a
raise. He'd have to approve
breaking the two-year-old wage
controls.
If he approved, then it seems
likely the Treasury could take
that as green light for being
more generous.

BY JAMES MARROW

WASHINGTON, Sept. IS -
You can hear the salaried
workers holler-if Union wage
earners get a wage boost now
what about me?"
And what about them?
There's no simple solution TO
their problem. But here's the
story:
The War Labor Board soon
will have TO decide whether CLIO
steelworkers and other Union
workers-working on an hourly
wage rate-should get a raise.
The WLB as kept such raises
down, and in a tight grip, for
two years. But labor says rising
living costs justify their de-
mands for an increase. WLB
may agree.
But-wages and salaries both
were held in check under the
Governments program to stabi-
lie income and prices and thus
hold living costs down.
SEE LOUD COMPLAINTS
There's a difference, though,
between the controls on wages
and salaries. And that's where
salaried workers will scream
for relief if the wage earners
get it.
Roughly, it can be stated this
way: The WLB is boss over
wage earners' increase; the
Treasury Department Is boss
over white collar workers rails
eS.
1t works this way:
WLB has control over most
wages-the hourly rate kind as
distinguished from the weekly
salary kind-up to $4,000.
But it does not have control
over income up to $4,000 where
the worker is not represented
by a union or where he is en-
ployed in an executive, admins
trative or professional job.
Thus most white collar work
ers would not come under WLB
control. Nor would so-called
professional workers, like news
papermen.
In other words: Anyone MAX
ing up to $4,000 who does not
come under WLB control comes
under Treasury De partment
control.
And further: Anyone making
$4,000 a year or more, even if
he is a union man working on
an hourly rate, is under Treas
ury jurisdiction.
But who, under Treasury con-
troll, can get raise? Only when
he qualities under one of the
following:
WHO QUALITIES
/. Individual promotion or
classification.
2. Individual merit increases
within established rate ranges,
that is, within the usual amount
of increase given for merit in a
certain firm.
3. Operation of an established
plan of wage or salary increases
based on length of service.
4. Increased productivity I'M
der piece-work or incentive
plans.
5. Operation Of an apprentice
or trainee system.
If a man falls within those
classifications, his boss can raise
his salary without obtaining
Treasury approval. II the boss
doesn't want to raise him. ne
doesn't have to.
And the employ can't appeal
to the Treasury for help. It's just
the boss who can deal with the
Treasury, and then only to ask
permission to raise.
Chats where the union work
er has an advantage over the
unorganized worker at this pre-
sent time of wage controls. The
former, through his Unions ac-
ton, can appeal to the WLB for
an increase and-maybe now
get it. The unorganized worker
can't appeal to anyone.O

Civilian Personalities
We would like to have you meet GORDON E. HARRINGTON
 AAF Supply

MT. Harrington comes from Massachusetts, and has lived most of his life in Springfield. For 26 years he was allied with the Socony Vacuum Co. In October 1912 he joined the the Army and was sent to Fort Bragg, North Carolina, re- ceiving his training in Field Artil- lery branch of the service. He was discharged in April 1943 and came to Bradley Field in May of that yaer. MT. Harrington has always been interested in Bradley Field from it's inception. First, through his business association, and later because of his desire to fly. He now holds a student pilots license. While in the Army he found that many of the younger men had diff ficulty in adjusting themselves to military life. The discipline, con- centrated study, forming of new habits, entire lack of privacy and being away from home with no one to turn to during moments of lone Illness, presented real problem. He realized the need of a Pre-Basic Program of training, that would adjust boy while at home to Ar my procedure. This program he found in the Civilian Air Patrol where he is putting in most of his spare time, in the program con ducted in Springfield. He holds the rank of Lieutenant and just last week was appointed Assistant Training Officer for the Massachu- setts Wing Staff. This new office will take him throughout Western Massachusetts. His ability for or ganization is of great benefit to this new and vital program. But this is just in his spare time. His work here at Bradley is in the capacity of Supervisor of Planning at AAF Supply, and because he has taken such lively interest in this work and in his co-workers, he was greatly missed while on detached service at Hillsgrove, R. l., organ izing and setting up the Supply Detachment there. Bradley Field civilians are mighty proud and hap py to have Gordon Harrington as one of the Family"
