RIVAL FOR LUCE SEAT
ISA WOMAN
And IRISH, TOO

CHICAGO - (FP) "A sparkling
Irish girl who follows the pattern of
her native land enough to love roaring
good fight is out to take the political
measure of the rich and wisecracking
Rep. Clare Boothe Luce (R., Conn.,.
The black-haired woman with political
ambitions is Margaret E. Connors of
Bridgeport, Conn.
Miss Connors is a lawyer and hopes to
oppose Glare in November if she wins
the Democratic primary August z.
Not only has Miss Connors a wealth
of legal training, but she stands four
bluare with organized E6oor. Here's
what she said. 1T looks to me like I'll
be nominated on the Democratic ticket
from Connecticuts fourth congressional
district come next Aug and when
am, no Clare Boothe Luce is going to
whip me I'm Irish and I believe in
the working people. That's more than
she can say
/ In answer to question she said: mo
I don't mind Mrs. Luce as an opponent.
I'm not afraid of her or anybody else.
She's anti-labor and anti-everything else
that the common people might want"
Miss Connors admitted that her dis
tr1ct is tradRtionally Republican, but
said: IF all the voters come out, it
would be Democratic. This fall all the
vote is going to come out"
Among other reasons why the fight
ing lawyer dislikes Mrs. Luce she said
is that I'm against her attitude on sub
sides, the $4,000 salary limitation and
the OPA. And if you want to know
what I favor, it's a sound peace which
depends on a sound economic platform

FORD UMPIRE RULES
ON LADY In RED
AND FACTS OF LIFE

HIGHLAND PARK, Mich.-(FP)-
This is the story of lady in red and
the Ford umpire who handed down an
official opinion on fact Of life.
The girl, a member of Local 600,
United Auto Workers (CIO), was repri-
manded and docked a half hour because
she wore red slacks to work in the
Highland Park plant.
The color Of the slacks was a hazard
to safety and production, the Ford
Motor company claimed, contending the
bright color had tendency to distract
the attention of employees, particularly
that Of the male employees. Understand
it was the color of the slacks she was
penaized for, not the slacks themselves
since all girls are required to wear them
at work here.
The union protested and the umpire
set out to investigate if the Lady in Red
was being treated unfairly. He found
out that some girls wore bright green
slacks, with no objection from the man
agement, and that "there was no effort
at specification Of other articles Of
clothing, or the fit thereof, which might
be equally seductive Of employees atten-
ton"
Ruled the umpire: 1T is common
knowledge that wolves, unlike bulls, may
be attracted by colors other than red
and by various other enticements in
the art and fit of female attire" The
girl got her half-hour pay back, the
company's reprimand was stricken from
the record, the company was told:
THAT is not the way to prescribe or
enforce rules of conduct" red slacks
may still be worn at the Highland Park
plant.

With good crops and floor price on
grains, the farmer is not in the frame
of mind to worry about what's coming.
Tell him that he is likely to be up
against tough break next year and
he will give three rousing boots. Tell
him that the wars end will see another
depression worse than that which fol-
lowed the last World War and he will
say: Them people in Europe will have
to eat for a while and well have to
feed 'em, and that means we sell our
stuff" Few will look forward to the
time when the fields of Europe are
covered with standing grain instead OF
standing armies That is when the
press" gets into the depression for ag-
riculture in the United States.
Right now-though he does not fully
realize 1.-THE farmer is facing the OLD
"Hobsons Choice" He will either have
to take the NARA (Which is M W

Slap an income tax on the savings the
farmers make when they sell their grain
through their own local and termina,

not savings-they're profits, just the

he sells grain on commission. Naturally
the GTAL being in favor of giving the
farmer the best Of it, urges Ben to divide
his profits, pro rata, with his custo-

He tells the farmer: whats mine is

Our notion is that the farmer IS never

going to be madder than Hitler when
