Meat SIaughterer Granted
Stay Of Suspension Order

Walter Brown & Sons, Inc, one of
three meat slaughtering firms here,
has received stay of an Office of
Price Administration order which
was to have closed the company
May for alleged overcharges in the

day that the national OPA had
granted his client a stay pending an
appeal from a decision of Acting
OPA Hearing Commissioner Arthur
Caruthers, jr. Mr.. Caruthers had
directed the firm to close for the
duration of the rationing program.
The stay order was signed by
Hearing Commissioner Charles l..
Ferguson following an appeal by
Mr.. Hilland.
Gilbert w. Barber, president of the
company, said the firm would con-
tinue its normal operations. The
company supplies a larger portion of
the city's veal, and is the oldest
slaughtering house here.

Boys and. girls between 16 and 18
were urged today to. apply for~ ~elefi-
cal or mechanical jobs xt fte Alex:
andria Naval Torpedo Station.
Capt. r. B. Simons, commanding
officer Of the station, said the: need
for increasing production, coupled
with loss Of personnel through the
draft, makes it necessary to employ
young workers even if they accept
only temporary employment.
He said the boys and girls will
work only during the daytime hours.
High school students may take jobs
for the summer, but they should be
reasonably sure that they will keep
the job for three months at least

London Discounts Reports
OF Nazi Activity in Denmark
: the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
LONDON, April ~. - Reports
that the Germans are pouring q
large number of troops into Den
mark were received with consider
able skepticism today in London,
where they were viewed as probably
part of Berlin's feverish game of
fishing for information.
1t was noted that most of the
reports had come through German
censorship, which would be unlikely
to disclose any heavy movement of
forces.
There have been Russian reports
of the recent transfer of troops
from Norway to the eastern front,
but belief was expressed here that
there has been no substantial
change in the overall disposition of
German strength for several weeks.

We wonder if the leading
candidates of the Republican
Party, Dewey and Bricker, think
of the workers, as cantalopes;
to be bought and sold by the
pound. Our opinion is that they
believe they can throw all the
mud they can, and in that way,
undermine and tear down every
good law Roosevelt and the
Democratic Party have passed
for the workers of this coun-
try.
You could not expect any
thing different from Dewey, for
after all, he takes his orders
from the man who put this
country on a starvation basis
back in 1880. Of course you
remember one Herbie Hoover,
the fat man from the far west.
Dewey's running mate, John
Bricker, the great benevolent
governor of Ohio is now vast
ing his time spouting off Of the
mouth about the things that
Roosevelt and his party did not
do for labor. We can't quite
figure out why they forget to
relate just what the Republican
party ever did or did not do
during the IL years they held
office. This question we could
readily answer. We all know
that they did nothing. We know
that they never will do any
thing for labor. All that they
ever will be concerned about is
monopolies, big business, and
wealth.
STOP AND THINK
Brothers and Sisters, stop and
think before you give away all
you have gained under FDR,
the workers friend. Dewey
talks of the workers dole or the
WPA. That's certainly more
than Hoover could talk about.
They mention the Roosevelt de-
preston, but they must mean
the depression that Roosevelt
had nothing to do with. The
Adepression which was the direct
Result of the high financing of
The Republican Party in their
lust for more power. The work
ers of this country had to foot
the bill, not with so much
money, but with starvation for
themselves and their families.
Let us not go back to those
conditions.
One way to keep from revert
ing to depression times is to re-
elect friends of organized labor
to office; Roosevelt and a DEM
ocratic Congress. Vote against
the Rameys, Tafts and Burtons.
