Sorry.
 Remember the old adage, You can lead a horse to water but you can't make him drink2" Well, Al Brown has found a way to make a horse drink. He vows 1t will work.
 Casanova Falvey has a new sun- shine. She photographs well and he has had her picture placed on writing paper for her birthday. Now do you know where he gets his first name? What a Romeo!
 l know of four girls who are waiting iGnpatiently to go down on the boats.
 Was given few bits of news from the wet dock mite shift here goes: It seems someone or other has something or other to do with welding and is partial to crane operating ,. What second shift chipper couldn't take brandy at Quaker Hill? How do you think tomato juice would set instead? A candidate for the Army had date with a very young miss. Grow up, boy. (Was his face red when he found out her age) =. {. Bob Murray, second shift Shipfit- ter, is taking the fatal plunge soon. Good luck, Bob,- you can't say you weren't warned by old timers. Mac says don't look for sympathy later on. Look who's giving advice! What girl welder, on wet dock, on night shift, gets waited on hand and foot? What was in that bottle, Mac? Beware! Whitey See you all later, If don't see you first.
 Come on, Chapman, dish out the gossip. That's what we want. We never get any gossip from the night shift. How about that pretty red head on block one? Give us the low down. Who's who and what's what. Lots of the fellows on the day shift are interested. Her husband is a good guy-he writes for The Sub-he told us so.
 Walt the Brooklyn Kid has left the Fab Shop and has. enlisted in the Navy. Good Luck Walt, and let us hear from you.
 Joe the instructor is busy man right now, with his instructing and I hear he is quite adept in hair dressing. Don't you agree with me, Req?
 Ventilation is quite empty now Lennie and Evelyn are holding the fort with Mike.
 Prezkop is quite sportsman. He Is always wrestling at noon with someone or other. So the other noon he met his match. Now I notice he doesn't poster the smaller fellows any more. The guy who pinned his ears back was about half his size.
 A couple of Sundays ago, Mary Phillips had her new daughter christened and invited all her old friends from the Fab Shop. Many of them attended and-a good time was had by all. Mary was a weld CT. and one of the first girls to go down on the boats. Terry Con- nors and Terry Perkins went down first, then were followed by Emma MacHattie and Mary Phillips. That was last February. MacHattie was transferred to the night shift. Mary Phillips gave up welding. The two Ferries have been down on the boats ever since. The last few weeks they have been in the Fab Shop because they were needed. But they are waiting patiently to go back. Now this winter in Feb ruary, 12 girls went down on the boats and they like 1t very much. Good going girls.
 Congratulations Giroux, you old red chalk pusher. At last Giroux Is back to almost normal. For weeks he went around in a daze. I guess being the proud father of a baby son was too much for him. noted that he had an ad of his Texaco Station in the Sub. Guess

Handy Facts
For Pay Hikes
Campaigns

Washington, July 29-How high
is up? Is an old question kids used
to ask without really expecting ar
answer.
Today It's a question that house
wives are asking about the cost oil
living. and it's one that they dc
expect an answer to, because II
concerns every human being in the
u. s. A.
They don't get an answer-or
rather, they get lying answer
from the u. s. Bureau Of Labor
Statistics that's supposed to
measure the cost of living and
report on IL to the nation. The
cost OF living, says the BIS, has
gone up only 22.S per cent since
the war began.
Actually, as CLIO studies have
proved, the cost Of living has
gone up 45.3 per cent-double
the amount calculated by the
BIS. WLB wage awards under
the Little Steel formula are
based on the Bliss guess, not on
the cold turkey figures produced
by the CLIO.
The whole story is told in CLOS
newest pamphlet. How High l.
Up-The Truth About the Cost Of
Living" just issued by the Pub
licity Dept. Taking the two CIC
studies, "The Cost Of Living and
Living Costs in World War II" as
base. the pamphlet puts into
simple language the findings oil

eggs and everything else the work

LONDON, Mar. 21.-Lt. Gen. H.
D. G. Crerar, SIS, yesterday took over

Firms Affirm Desire
For Peace, but Reject
Russia S Conditions

Ey the Associated Press.
STOCKHOLM, Mar. 21.-The
Finnish government today af-
firmed its continued desire for
peace with Soviet Russia, but de-
clared firmly that it could not
accept the armistice terms die
tated by the Kremlin.
The declaration, embodied in a
long communique giving the Firms
version of their attempts to get out
of the war, all but extinguished
hopes of further peace negotiations
between Helsinki and Moscow, for
the Russians, the bulletin said, have
refused to modify their original
terms.
The Finnish stand apparently was
predicated on the thesis that the
Russian terms - which involved
withdrawal of Finnish troops from
their present positions as we'll as
internment of all German armed
forces now in Finland-were not
consistent with the demands of
natlonal security.
The communique said the Finn
ish government regretted that the
Russians had not given Finland "an
to express her own
viewpoint before accepting the
terms"
Press Views Divergent.
Although Finlands government
still aspires seriously for re-estab-
lishment of peaceful relations, it.,
however, cannot accept in advance
these terms. which deeply affect the
existence of the wi.o,e nation with
out even getting any safe assurance
of the Interpretation and meaning
Of the conditions" the bulletin said.
The Finnish press expressed diver
gent views as to whether the gov
ernment's stand left room for hope
of peace.
The independent Helsingen sano-
mat declared the picture still was
and said optimistically
that if there still exists good will
for further examination of peace
questions then the door should still
be OPEN"
The conservative Uusi Suomi
headlined the government an
nouncement with the gloomy cap
ton Peace Terms Cannot Be Ac-
cepted," but the Swedish language
newspaper Observation-Disclosures
resenting the Swedish Peoples party,
which is in opposition to the gov
ernment-emphasized heavily that
Finland still wants peace.

Macarthur Opposes Cut
In Yank Pay in Australia

BY the Associated Press.
ALLIED HEADQUARTERS, South
west Pacific, Mar. 21.-Gen. Douglas
Macarthur believes the pay of Aus
tralian soldiers should be raised to
that of Americans, rather than take
money from the pay envelopes of
Yanks serving in Australia.
In statement to troops published
in "Yank Down Under" a spokes-
man for Gen. Macarthur said there
is not the slightest chance that the
pay of American servicemen will be
lowered or withheld"
Gen. Macarthur would be utterly
opposed to such move. He is known
to be an advocate of an increase in
pay for Australian servicemen to
bring it up to a basis of equality
with their comrades in arms from
the United States"
In round figures, the basic monthly
pay for Australian privates Is $50
compared with $50 for American
privates serving overseas. While Aus
tralian sergeants draw a base pay of
about $50 monthly, American SER
geants get s95. An Australian first
lieutenant gets s75, an American,
SITS base pay.

1s tne Associated Press.
Chairman Reynolds called the
Senate Military Affairs Commit
tee together today to consider
legislation which would ban for
the duration of the war any ad-
vance in permanent rank for Of
flcers above colonel.
Several members predicted the
proposal would be rejected, but there
apparently was tacit agreement
that future promotions would be
considered individually and not be
approved in block as they had been
In the past.
President Roosevelt's nominations
to elevate five officers, including 1t.
Gems. George S, Patton, jr., and
Brehon Somervell, who now hold
temporary rank, to the permanent
rank of major general and nine
others to brigadier general have
been pending before the committee
since last October l.
Patton and Somervell Opposed.
Objections have been voiced to
both the Patton and Somervell
nominations, and several committee
members said they apparently had
not been resolved. Gen. Patton was
involved in a soldier -slapipng Incl
dent IN Sicily which has not been
forgotten, and Gen. Somerveu is
opposed by some members who do
not want him in line to become chief
OF staff should there be any change

jected, Senator Chandler, Democrat,
of Kentucky said the committee

Irish tenor. Of course he's not Irish. He comes
from small town in Connecticut

tainer around: he's sung in nearly every major
theater in the US. (close to 2O0O, in every state
except Idaho; he's worked in every one of the

Downey, among other things, is responsible for

having Downey sit behind French horn, pretend
he was playing it and then step up when it was
time to sing The trouble was, Downey couldn't
restrain himself and took to suddenly blowing un-
expected sour notes on the horn in the middle of
concert numbers. Whiteman finally solved this
problem by soldering up the mouthpiece in
Downey's horn.
Downey is said to have more real friends than
anybody else you can name And his fans are as
faithful as his friends. One of his most faithful is
