Unfinished Business

General Patton's lightning liberation of France was one of the great military featS of history, but it had an unfortu- nate and probably unavoidable after effect. It started people thinking that the war in Europe was as good as over. It not only spurred the necessary plan ming for reconverSion and post war jobs, but also impelled many war workers to leave their jobs to seek work that paid less but promised future stability. It is known now that General Patton'S dash was halted principally by lack of supplies. One cause of that shortage was the fact that production had Slumped with the good news. So now postwar planning must be slowed down while an effort IS made t okepe war workers on the job, and to get back those who have left Undersecretary of War Patterson has re- vealed that production of five important items of Army supply is from IT to 40 per cent below present minimum needs. Henry J. Kaiser has hooked up the criti- cal shortage of attack transports with the fact that in three months he has lost 26,OO0 workers from one shipyard, 28 per cent of it's total force.
 What is being done about the quit rate? There has been a government campaign, and Mr. Kaiser has predicted that the President will shortly appeal personally to workers to stay on their war jobs. But perhaps more local and immediate appeal is needed from man. agement and union officials A modest program of this sort that has attracted considerable attention in the East has been inaugurated by the Edo Aircraft Corporation, a small factory on Long Island. This program stresses facts about postwar employment, on the the ory that facts are the best means of building confidence, and that confi- dence is potent antidote for the panicky feeling that peacetime job must be found quickly before sudden victory leaves the worker high, dry and unem- ployed.
 The Edo programs chief instruments are thrice-weekly editorials in a local newspaper, a postwar essay contest among workers, and weekly early-eve- ming broadcast from New York radio station which gets big listening response from day workers, and which is piped into the plant for the night shift to hear. It may be impossible to determine whether government or local appeals are more et- fective in persuading workers that the war is far from over, and that nothing IS to be gained by sudden, harmful, mis- directed effort to find immediate employ ment security. But surely cooperative endeavor toward this end can do no harm. In fact, it might serve as an encouraging preview of future cooperation toward creation of 6O,000,000 promised jobs when the war jobs are finished.

QUESTION and ANSWERS
 Carbon DiOxide

Please tell me if working around carbon dioxide gas has any i'll eff feet on health or whether there is any danger to life. (R. W.
 Answer-None if there is plenty of fresh air to breathe. In an att mosphere of pure or nearly pure carbon dioxide suffocation would occur within a minute. It is main ly the heavy concentration of car- bon dioxide in the bottoms of Silos. in sewer manholes. in pits or wells, that causes collapse of persons who enter such places without first test ing the atmosphere by trying whether candle or match will sur vive in 1t; if there is not enough oxygen present to support combus- ton there is not enough to sup port life.
 Old Women
 I am 38 years old and have been recently married. When I tell my friends hope and pray for a baby they say it would be too dangerous at my age. (E. H. M0
 Answer-Break away from the old women and cultivate friends of your own age. This is my honest, studied opinion: If you can roll a string of somersaultS on the floor and come up smiling and ready to roll some more, you're in prime condition for maternity. At forty any girl who has taken care of her health and not neglected physical education should be at the very peak of fitness for motherhood.
 Men Are Men
 agree with you about taking Negro blood as well as the blood of the White donor, but is there any possibility of it showing up later on, if white person received . transfusion of Negro blood?
 co. E.)
 Answer-None. No scientist can distinguish the blood of a Negro from the blood of member of any other race, because there is no difference.

Taxing Technology

Wars necessity has uncovered many technological improvements which, when peacetime production resumes, will add to the comfort, efficiency and economy of consumer living, Among them are sev- eral that will affect the textile industry, notably runless hosiery, blue serge that won't shine, wrinkleproof suits, shrink proof woolenS with three times their pres ent wearing qualities. Such improve mentS have never been received with shouts of unmixed joy, for they can mean fewer sales or the obsolescence of an entire industry. So manufacturers have on occasion banded together to keep an improved product off the market.
 But public knowledge, public demand and competition usually prevail. And the country goes on not only to survive technological improvements, but to pros per under them
 Most industrial leaders have long since learned the facts of economic life, and have decided that progress isn't fatal. But in the last few days dissenting opin- ion has popped up from another quarter in the contract between President James c. Petrlllo of the American Federation of Musicians, and the country's photograph record makers
 After months of persistent defiance, Mr. Petrillo forced these companies to pay royalty on every item of recorded music sold. The royalties will not go to the musicians that the companies employ Rather, says MT. Petrillo, they will go to musicians who are not employed (The War Labor Board found, when 1t ordered Mr. Petrillo to lift his recording ban, that no present, important unemployment of musicians exiStS.') What the royalty actually means is that the companies are taxed by the union for the privilege of staying in business. MT Petrillo earlier had succeeded in taxing radio stations in- directly to the same end by forcing them to hire extra, unwanted, unneeded musi- clans on threat of a general strike. Under present laws the government seems powerlesS to halt this private taxation.
 Under the same laws there is no appar- ent reason why the heads of garment and hoiSery workers unions, if they wished, could not collect royalties from makers of runleSS stockings, ShineleSS pants and lOng-wearing fabrics if those products meant fewer sales and fewer jobS.. There is no reason why cleaning and pressing unions could not collect from the wrinkle proof suit manufacturers for the same reason. Mr. Petrillo wasn't around early enough to help the harness makers and buggy StriperS collect royalties from the auto manufacturers, or aid the barberS' union in assessing the safety razor mak- CTS. But he has shown a later generation successful pattern for penalizing scien-

CIRCUS CLAIMS
(Hartford Courant)

N44o4 U4O40 SOa1 d11OI
 The arbitration agreement drawn up between representatives of the Hartford County Bar Association and counsel for the Ringing Bro- thers, Barnum and Bailey circus is to be mailed soon to claimants for damages growing out of the circus fire and to their counsel It is to be hoped that there will be general &C., ceptance of this plan, which has obviously grown out of sincere de- sire on all sides to have these mat ters handled fairly and with as much dispatch as possible.
 The appointment of thre arbitra- tors, one of whom would be judge of the Superior Court or State re- fierce, to pass on claims will prevent any disparity in the amount of pay ments that might occur if claims were trietd separately before several juries. Not only that, but by avoid ing long and repetitious trials the claimants will be spared unnecessary delay and expense. Our courts will not be clogged with interminable litigation if the arbitration agree- ment is accepted.
 In fact, there is everything to be said for the agreement and little that can be said in opposition. Thus far, nobody, from among lawyers, representatives of the circus or claimants themselves, has displayed any disposition to do anything but the fair thing for all concerned It is this spirit of cooperation, this de- sire to do the right thing, that makes it seem reasonable to believe that practically all claimants will accept this method.
 The Hartford County Bar Asso- citation is to be commended for as- suming the initiative in this matter. It has shown consistently an en- frightened attitude of public service that should help strengthen popu- lar confidence in it's members, and which is in complete accord with the highest professional standards.
 It will be noted that the circus authorities have agreed to resist

A Third Party For Waterbury

Just what the organization here of a third party by the C.IO. Council will mean to next years city election is diff cult to determine at this early date. How ever, it is safe to say that it's injection into the picture will be of interest to all
 We do not know the plans of the CIO other than it's declaration that such a party will be for purposes of indorsing the Liberal candidates of either or both parties, or the injection of candidates of its own choosing" into the election picture.
 At this writing it would seem that their primary purpose is, or should be- from political standpoint, only, to inject themselves into the forefront for recog- milton purposes. Theirs is a youthful and somewhat inexperienced organization to date, with much to learn as is admitted by some of their constituents, and their best move would be one of introduction only and not as a means of publically displaying the size of their muscles.
 Perhaps the injection of such a party "of liberal leaningS" would be a Stimu- lating influence on the city's politics, factor generally conceded to be a require ment, here
 They certainly cannot be disavowed as a group whose efforts would prove to be negligible, for within the intimate con- fines of an election in a city the size of Waterbury the slightest pressure brought to bear may be felt
 Third parties are not new to the city and all others have never proven too great an influence over a consistent period. Just what the C.IO will prove to do only time can tell
 We are certain that its leaders will con- duct it's affairs fully cognizant of the moral and civic responsibilities attached to such a movement.

Selected Poem
NOVEMBER

William M Schuyler in The New York Times) To May, the laughing days of May. To June the Sun-laved days of June To these each poet sings his lay And carols to the harvest moon! I would sing of bleak November As dour and dun she lies, and Sere, Like charred and smoldring enber Midst the ash of the dying year! Grave her mood and solemn, sober, Leaden her skies with plaintive frown Gone the hues of proud October That might have famed her faded gown! Needs she not song to cheer her? She needs 1t more than May or June; To my heart she comes the nearer Because so sadly out of tune! But the voice of bleak November Intones its own sweet. mystic rune That would bid us to remember The heart must sing to keep in tune!

spite increased wages, the cost of producing steel has decreased g per cent per unit since 1942.
 Another factor influencing Economic Stabilizer Vinson Is the fact that 85 per cent of the goods involved are produced by only l8 companies.
 Incidentally, Vinson is support ed by General Electric's Charley Wilson, formerly of the War Pro- duction Board, who says that GEE will sell it's refrigerators and washing machines at pre-war prices. To do otherwise, he says, is shallow, passive thinking"
 Finally, .Vinson, Byrnes and other Administration leaders are beginning to lay the economic ground work for the 60,000, 900 jobs which Roosevelt promised af- ter the war. And they are ab- solutely convinced that. in order to have a big consumer demand, there must be low prices, which in turn will keep factory wheels turning and men employed. The principle of high prices and scar city, they argue, will mean fewer jobs and depression.
 NOTE: James Brownlee, leader of the higher price" industry group inside the OPA, warned Chester Bowles during the election campaign that, if he made a speech for Roosevelt. every top OPA executive would resign Bowles didn't make the speech. CAPITAL CHAFF

appointed to the three-man Sur plus War Property Board. Sena- tor Murray of Montana wired the President that he was shocked at the proposed appointments and would do his best to block them Veteran observers on Capitol Hill were amazed to notice that the first days proceedings of Congress featured not single political speech either in the Sen- ate or House, though it was just after the red-hot national elec- tion.
 DEWEY AIDS
 ANTITRUST SUITS
 Certain Republican business executives who have been trekking down to the Justice Department since Election Day are certainly sore at Gov. Dewey. They have come to Washington to try to reach 8 compromise on antitrust suits, and persuade the Justice Department to settle for consent decreeS.
 But in reply, the Justice De- partment boys are quoting Cover nor Dewey's campaign speech in which he promised to enforce the Sherman Antitrust Act; said he would fire present Justice Depart ment personnel because they weren't enforcing the act vigor- ously enough.
 How can we settle your suits out of court" the antitrust division boys replied, when your own candidate for Presi- dent said we weren't vigorous enough in prosecution? Besides, when we permitted a consent decree in the Standard Oil and Dow Chemical cases, they went around later telling people that we had let them off which wasn't the case. So we'd better not accept any more settle ments out of court"
 NOTE-A lot of companies ap- parently waited to see how the election would turn out; then, when Dewey wasn't elected, they came streaming to Washington to try to settle. Apparently they didn't take Dewey's campaign speech too literally.

GRITTTNG THE TEETH IN
 SHEEP

Dead and buried, I hope, are nearly all of the old Saireygamps, including the vehement Aunties Binnell-I still get warm behind the ears when I recall how Auntie Binnell disposed of me once and for all. It was the day after the very first appendicitis operation in our neck of the woods, done q suppose one might fairly say per- formed in that particular instance) by the doughty Dr. A. L. B. -, about the only one in the com munity who was qualified to do major surgery anyway, upon pa- tient who had been treated with ice-bags over the southwest sec ton, Auntie Birdell made the rounds with the news that when "that butcher" cut the poor little girl open they found her "insides frozen solid" Speaking as a sopho- more medical student I said that was absurd-that no amount of cola on the surface could lower the tenn perature of any internal organ or tissue appreciably in any circtlm- stance, as long as the patient 1Ved. Auntie Binnell paused only long enough to give me whitening look. "YouIl know more when you grow up" she remarked, and went on with her tirade against that butch er." At any rate the operation was a success.
 say I hope all the old witches are dead. It would be more than I could stand to hear now from one of them that gritting the teeth in sleep is a symptom of worms" es- pecially if the child looks white around the gills" and seems a little feverish and has a peculiar heavy sweet breath and a coated tongue and maybe little nausea or stom- ach upset. It is truly sad to think of all the unhappy children who have been piled with sickening, un- necessary and sometimes dangerous worm medicine" on some such filmsy pretext.
 Of course any youpgster may har- bor worms. round worms or pin worms, and children who really nave WOrMS are I1OL AlOIc AACAy IO have the symptoms mentioned or other illnesses or upsets than are children who do not harbor worms. In fact there is only one way an honest doctor can tell whether a child or any one else has worms and that is by seeing the worms themselves or by finding their eggs by microspocis examination.
 In few instances worms, either round worms or pinworms, do act- ually cause some illness-but if so. it is strictly problem for the att tending physician to handle. cer- tainly it is never wise, safe or jus tifitable for any one other than the physician to give the child any remedy or treatment purporting to be good for worms.
 Well, we haven't said much about gritting the teeth in sleep-weu talk about it another day. The kids come first here.

vigorously" any claims brought to trial outside the terms of the arbit- ration agreement. This is as it should be, but it is hoped that all claimants will submit to the agree ment making enforcement of this phase of the agreement unnecessary.
 The Hartford circus fire is too fresh in our memories to permit the spectacle of attorneys wing with one another for legal advantage to go down well. Acceptance of the arbit- ration agreement will avoid this un- pleasantness, and will at the same time permit the legal and equitable disposition of claims in the speed jest possible time.

intends to be a wholesome reaction toward danger into a morbid and in- troverted attitude of mind.
 Recently four children listened to their father as he read the New Testament account of how Jesus stilied the storm. They made num- Der of comments, and finally the youngest member of the family who at that time was five-spoke up and said, Well, one thing is sure; after Jesus hac stilled the storm, nobody was afraid of anything any more."

One of the reasons why the lim- ited supply of cigarettes is now gobbled up so rapidly is because the store-hopper is on the job again.
