THESE DAYS

THE telephone strike raises
- the question as to whether
any industrial worker can be
expected under present condi-
tons TO be satisfied with a wage
of S21 a week.
The take-home wage on that
basis is approximately SIG a
week.
And il raised another ques-
ton: How can particular wage
inequalities be adjusted speedily
while boards and bureaus OF
government abide in a realm of
major congratulations?
The difficulty over the ceiling
on wages is that it creates un-
tenable inequities betwee n
workers in old-line industries
and those employed in the new
war industries.
When a girl can earn $50 or
$50 or even more week in
what is called war work." she
will never understand why she
is called upon to work for so
much less in old-line industries.
Certainly a telephone opera
tor-and particularly one who
is employed on the long lines
is engaged in war work most OF
the time.
Is her work less important
than a welder in a shipyard?
Or is il a matter of luck--one
girl gets into a nut at switch
board. another grabbed herself
a good job in a new industry.
NOR Is 1t a question Of infia-
~ ton.
When the Little Steel for
mula" was first proposed, OPP
posed il as a fallacy.
It's theory is that a statistical
yardstick can be applied TO
wages and prices so that their
rise or fall can be controlled by
government.
And since the adoption OF this
yardstick. statistics have from
time 10 time been produced TO
show that the rise in prices has
been kept within the bounds OF
the formula adopted by the ad-
ministration.
But personal experience has
disproved the statistical data.
Goods have disappeared from
the market. Altogether because
of ceiling prices and their sub
stitutes are either more expen-
sive or shoddy at any price.
The housewife discovers that
not when she buys labeled pack
aged goods, but when she at
tempts to buy, let us say, fresh
fruits or vegetables.
Her problem is 10 be waited
on and to get home TO cook her
meal.
She cannot spend her day
arguing over ceiling prices.
THE telephone strike is symp-
Il tomato of trouble and what
ever its immediate cause. wages
and prices need to be adjusted
in our controlled economy. with
no phony statistics devised to
prove point.
And IL ought not to be so diff
ficult TO effect an adjustment.
Workers az Well as employers
get run around when they
apply for increases.

blessed events have been double

Am informed that about fifty
years ago there was a popular
ditty titled BY the Dreamy

is the only popurar song I know
OF written about this river.
Seems a stream with such a

That is, he liked to sell for

That is an interesting and

Admiral Merrill, who headed the

are also brought to Washington by
this route. Recordings are also
broadcast from Guam, he added.
Admiral Merrill expressed the
hope that by January facilities will
be improved to the point that news
can come directly to the Capital

and pedestrians was visualixed . by
William A. Van Duzer, director Of
vehicles and traf1c for the District
Of Columbia before members Of the
Women's Safety Committee yester-
day ct the Sulgrave Club.
Speaking at the organizations
11th annual anniversary luncheon,
Mr.. Van Duzer predicted that the
proposed subway system to extend
over seven miles throughout the
city will greatly help existing traf1ic
problems. The subway. which will
make 1t possible to remove many
car lines in congested sections, in
cluding Pennsylvania avenue and
localities surrounding Union Sta
ton, will cost approximately $780,
000, 900, Mr.. Van Duzer said, but the
improvement effected will be well
worth the cost, he declared.
Other cities, including Detroit,
Pittsburgh and New York have
spent several times the amount"
calculated for the Districts pro-
posed subway. he added.
A central control for the city's
tratfic lights at the municipal CEN
ter, will greatly enhance the, effec-
tiveness Of the light control sys-
tenn, the speaker continued, while
new route signs will enable postwar
tourists to travel through the city
without confusion or loss of time.
stricter inspection OF cars will be
enforced in the future, Mr.. Van
Duzer asserted, with particular at
tention given automobile brake
hoses. Oil dripping on these hoses
frequently cause deterioration Of
the rubber, causing the brakes to
give way in times Of emergency, he
explained.
Cars in which this condition is
discovered. will not be passed In fu-
ture inspections. he added.

By the Way

Like most oficial women now Il
Washington with their husbands
Mrs. Robert Porter Patterson. wife
Of the Undersecretary Of War, finds
most Of her days filled with volun-
teer war and community work. It
was she. you may remember. who
with Mrs. Ralph A. Bard, wife Of
the Undersecretary Of the Navy,
started the Jangos-that wonderful
organization Of young girls Of ssrv-
ice families that has mushroonled
to such proportions all over the
country. As one Of the original
members Of the Board Of Directors
and OF the General Committee OF
the Walsh Club, Mrs. Patterson is
especially interested In the courses
which now are being given at the
club under the auspices Of the Army
Air Force to members of their
civilian personnel, which have to
do with the rehabilitation of the le-
turning veteran.
Mrs. Patterson Is interested m all
problems dealing with the welfare
Of the servicemen. She has a son
of her own, now overseas in the Air
Corps. She has worked almost con-
tinuously since Pearl Harbor in va
rious projects at Walter Reed Hos
ital.
She goes regularly to the Walsh
House to make surgical dressings on
Army Day volunteers are very
much needed now, she told us)
She thinks the Walsh Club is fill
ing very special need, since 1t
caters to war workers who for any
number Of reasons have not been
able to get into uniform. 1t was
Mrs. Franklin Roosevelt who first
thought Of this need, she told us,
and Mrs. Edward B. Mclean who
made 1t possible by her generous
loan Of the building and furniture
and facilities. Mrs. Patterson
thinks too that these new courses
at the club are much needed and
she feels that every man and woman
here at home should know some
thing Of rehabilitation, If we want
our boys to be able to readjust them
selves to normal peacetime living
after their war experiences.
One of the sponsors for the Citi-
zens' Committee for Universal
Military Service. Mrs. Patterson Is
also a member of the Child Care
Committee of Washington.
An intelligent woman, soft spoken,
very feminine in manner and with
much quiet humor, Mrs. Patterson
