STIMS0N APPEALS
FOR DRAFT BILL

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.- Up -
Urging adoption of national serv-
vice legislation, Secretary of War
Stimson said tonight that during
last week alone % strikes in war
plants resulted in the loss OF ap-
proximately $4,000 man-days Of
production.
Yet simply penalizing strikes, he
contended in radio address,
would be merely treating symp-
ton of ga grave underlying lack of
responsibility"

al cause" Stimson continued, land

to every man the fact that his in
dividual work is duty to the ma
ton, just as important in its way
as the duty which the infantryman
performs with his rifle, or the ar
tilleryman with his gun or the pi-
lot with his plane.
1.-THE purpose of national serv-
ice law is to reach this basic evil
of irresponsibility and to extend
the principles of democracy and
justice which should exist through
out the population. certainly

LITTLE FELLOWS
PLIGHT STUDIED

WASHINGTON, Jan 25.- up -
A sharp conflict between govern
ment and union statisticians over
living cost increases developed to-
day at Congressional inquiry in
to wartime economic problems of
white Collar workers.
Philip Murray, president of the
Congress of Industrial Organiza-
tons, said CLIO studies showed a
rise of approximately so per cent
il overall living costs since Janu-
ary,1941. He commended the Labor
Departments price-index showing
rise of only 23.4 per cent is full
of deceit"
A. F. Hinrichs, acting commits
sioner of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics, defended the department s
figure. He asked more time to ana
lyze the CLOS report, submitted
during the day to the War Labor
Boards committee studying living
cost increases.
Toward the shank of the after
noon, the first direct spokesman
for organized white collar groups
got to the stand in the person of
Abram Flaxer, president of the
CLOS State, County and Municipal
Workers of America.
1.-The local government worker"
he declared, Lives on budget

subsistence budget recommends

Local government workers, he
declared, to-day are attempting to

average figure which he said in
cludes a Is per cent increase above
January, 1871, gained under the
Little Steel Formula.
This formula, keystone of the
WLB's wage policy, limits gen.
eral wage increase to IS percent
above January, 1941.)
He recommended an upward ad-
justment Of the Little Steel For
mula generally, a Is per cent in
crease for local government work
ers, institution of time and a halt

and boards of arbitration to weigh
grievances.
Murray also demanded adjust

the benefit of both organized and
unorganized workers.

Frederick Van Nuys, Senior
Senator From Indiana, Dies

WASHINGTON, Jan. 25.- UP -
Frederick Van Mugs, senior SEN
ator from Indiana and as chair
man of the Judiciary Committee
one of the Senate's most influential
members, dies in his sleep early
today. He was SO and was serving
his 18th year in the Senate.
Death apparently resulted from
a heart attack. Because OF slight
cold. he did not attend the Senate
session yesterday but called no
physician and stayed at his home
at nearby Vienna, Va. A member
of the household staff found him
dead at 5 am.
The Senate adjourned out of re-
spect for his memory after his
death was announced by Senator
Raymond E. Willis, his Indiana
colleague, and a brief session de-
voted to tributes to Van Mugs from
other Senators. Willis said the
body probably would be sent to-
morrow night to Indiana for fun
eral rites and burial. Final ar
rangements, however, were delay
ed pending arrival of Mrs. Van
Mugs, who has been on visit
in Tucson, Ariz.
Van Mugs was a democrat but
was not counted a new dealer"
and his opposition to some adj
ministration measures had kept
him in conflict with elements Of
the party in Indiana. y

Mugs was elected Originally in
