FEW CONSUMER DEVELOPMENTS
With industry and government war
agencies straining to keep abreast of
military needs of equipment and am
munition as the armed forces increase
the tempo of battle, consumer news
developments this last week of the
month have been slight.
The Office of Price Administration,
however, took steps to increase future
supplies of non-rationed footwear by
officially classifying that pigskin
leather may be used for non-rationed
shoes. This type of footwear is large
ly wartime development Ultimate
ly the new shoes will be mainly avail
able in infants, children, misses and
women's sizes. OPA cautioned that
the shoes with pigskin uppers will not
be available in quantity for some time
as very little raw material is at pres
ent being tanned into leather.
The OPA assured consumers that
advance rations of fuel oil will be
granted to them while they are hav-
ing central heating equipment recon
verified to burn oil under the provi-
sions that recently made rations avail
able to east coast and middle western
consumers who co-operated in the
conversion program.
The OPA has set ceiling prices on
two types of army shoes for men,
which the Treasury Procurement divi- |
sion proposes to sell for civilian USE
Retail ceiling will be $3.50 a pair on
bot htypes, one of which is leather
soled with leather tap over the sole,
and the other leather soled shoe
with outside rubber tap. Both types
are russell tan with straight tips and
bellows tongue.

er or not to find the criminal, and
whether or not to prosecute him. In
far too many cases, the local prose
cutting authorities, for reasons of
prejudice, have decided not to act, or
else to act with whitewash brush.
S. 1927 has already been passed by
the senate, and reported favorably by
a subcommittee of the house. 1t has
the Department of Justice behind it,
and would certainly not have gone
this far without the full support of
the War and Navy departments. Be-
cause of its advanced position, all it
needs is the formality of a report
by the full house judiciary committee,
and vote. No real reason is appar-
ent why it shouldn't go on the con-
sent calendar and be passed in two
minutes, as hundreds of other non
controversial bills are passed.
But for some reason it is being held
up. 1t doesn't seem to make sense
that the 18th congress should have to
start the bill all through the long
legislative journey that S. 1927 has
passed, all over again. Real pressure
on the congress can get it through
before adjournment.

WHO TOOK NAPoLEoN's cRowNY

The Paris newspaper Ce Soir re-
ported recently that the crown of
Napoleon Bonaparte had "disap-
peared" from the Hotel des Invalides,
the French national shrine, in Paris.
Although there is nothing to indi-
cate that the French are prepared
to accuse the Adolf Hitler of stealing
Napoleon's crown, its disappearance"
recaHs the fuehrer's long-standing
admiration of Bonaparte.
After the nazi occupation of Paris
in 1910, Hitler and his encourage paid
their respects to Napoleon in state
visit to the tomb in the Invalides. AS
a gesture intended to curry favor with
the French, Hitler also ordered the
return to Paris of the bones of Napo-
Icons son, L'Aiglon, who had been
buried in Vienna after his death at
that court.

PROMISES


Puppet War Minister Karoly Berec-
zky, speaking over the Budapest radio,
told Hungarian troops recently not to
worry about the shortage of warm
winter clothing and promised that he
would strip clothes from the backs
of civilians for transport to the front,
if necessary.
Bereczky promised the Hungarian
a number of other things if they con-
tinued to fight with the Germans. He
promised an increase in the individ-
ual soldiers pay, increased family al
lotments and jobs after the war"
Rereczky did not explain how he
would keep the last pledge with de-
feat staring Germany in the face.

Permanent EEPC

Permanent FEPC
The house labor committee has held
further hearings ON the Dawson-Scan-
lon bill to establish FEPC as a perma-
nent agency with statutory authority
to enforce it's orders. No witnesses
have appeared against it. Which
doesn't mean there is no opposition.
1t means the enemies of FEPC are
holding their fire. A similar bill has
been reported favorably by senate
committee. 1t was introduced by SEN
ator Chavez and aw hole broad bi-par-
tisan coalition.
Both political parties in the course
of the election declared themselves
in favor of a permanent FEPC.
Whether the present members of con-
gress (including lame-ducks) took this
seriously enough to pass the bill at
the present session remains to be
seen.
Even if you have previously advised
your senators and representatives of
your support of this bill, it will be
all to the good to tell him so again,
now.
Congress in Session Until Dec. 20
Faced with a good pile of legislation
which must be acted upon before the
first of the year, the congress has
abandoned plans to adjourn December
10. New date which has been fixed
is ten days later, December 20.
Go
sentatives just this week passed the
Crop Insurance bill, which it had re-
jected earlier in the year is one sign
that the membership has learned les
sons from the elections. With half a
hundred members retiring on request
at the end of the year, and their re-
coming in, things look |
brighter than ever before for real
Victory legislation in 1915.
President Philip Murray of the CLIO |
described the peoples role in legisla-
tive work succinctly in his report to
the convention. He said:
Legislative action is the necessary
basis for political action"
And at this point land almost any
point in the foreseeable future) it is
worth while repeating what President
Roosevelt said on November g.
But when the ballots are cast, your
do not cease. The
public servants you elect cannot full
ill their trust unless you, the people,
watch and advise them, raise your
voices in protest when you believe
your public servants to be wrong, back
hem up when you believe them to
)e right"
The signs are multiplying that die
lard reactionaries and outright fas-
lists are consolidating their forces,
etiring to prepared positions from
which to continue their sniping at the
var effort and the national unity so
essential to Victory and victorious
'eace. Latest example is:
