 Mason said the production pro grams most vital today cover heavy ammunition, tires, and wire rope and communication wire. Another impera- tive need for both Army and Navy, he added, are rockets on which sched- uled production will double in 1o45.
 As an example, he pointed out that an average of 6614OO miles of field wire has been used by our forces in Europe each month since D-day, compared with an actual shipment of only 35,OOO miIes to the theatre monthly.

 White Collarites
Joining Organized Labor, Modifying ''Steel Formula"
 Is The Answer

Wages of organized factory workers and unorganized white collar workers vary as much as $39 a week, the AFL points out in it's Monthly Survey. The surveys find- ings, published in graphic form, reached conclusions similar to those of the Senate subcommittee on wartime health and education, that "unionized paychecks are higher.''
 Pay in the well organized industries such as shipbuilding and airplane en- zines goes as high as $63 a week, while file clerks, despite increased living costs, still take home as little as $25. Stenographers are making $50 and typists, $28 a week in many cases. In the construction industry, which is highly organized, workers average $50 a week.
 Quoting the Senate subcommit. tees statement, the survey showed that some 20 million white collar workers ''have not enjoyed rises in income commensurate with the most conservative estimate of the cost-of-living increase. We found that before the war large propor- ton of these people had substand- ard or below-subsistance-l in. comes that the hardships imposed upon them by the war
