LIFE WITH UNCLE

Corrugated cartons won headline
when the War Labor Board decided ali
employer cOud not pay drivers a
nickel for each carton he returned to
the store after delivering merchandise
in them. WLB said it constitutes a
wage increase.
Cartons are hard to find, and the
storekeeper probably figured he was
not only saving himself nickel and
increasing the earnings of his drivers
but also helping the government TO
conserve paper. Which he was.
So now the same drivers or others
can collect the same cartons and sell
'em to some one who will resell them
to someone else, and they'll probably
get back to his employer for 10 times
the price of nickel.
Such transactions as this are no

WOMEN

In England, where wages have never
been particularly high and where
womens wages have been aXtraOrdi-
narily low, the nursing profession has
been one of the cOuntry's step-children.
1t has now been recommended that
nursing could be made more appealing
to women, if the drudgery were elmi-
mated and it was placed on Il plane
with the medical profession. Nurses
are drastically needed, and Lord
HOrderS committee suggests that in
order to train then that nursing he
made into dignified and skilled pro-
fesSiOn. Students would really be stu
dents and not cheap labor used in
hospitals while examining some study
into their already too long hours.
British nurses may get 4 break after
all, if the committees recOmmenda
tions are accepted.
Miss Pat Kay, IS years, is the
youngest of either sex to hold a horse
training license. It's from the state of
Illinois. She is an enthusiastic hOre-
woman and has participated in horse
shows, polo matches and rodeo work,
before turning her attention to the
thOroughbredS. Like Miss Kay, Mrs.
Charles McLennan, the former Mary
Hirsch was the first of her sex to be
ever granted a training license in this
country.

WAR AND WEATHER
New York TimeS)

Winter has not yet taken over the
fighting fronts, but he has sent his mes
sengers east and west and south and
north in threatening array. HoWllng
down from the Arctic, icy blasts are lash-
ing at military operations between the
Baltic and the Masurian Lakes. Flood
and mud make the lives of soldiers mlser-
able from the North Sea to the Adriatic.

Ter comes as an ally of the enemy. BY
impeding offensive operations it stlt1ens

have swollen rivers and streams, Washing
away bridges and making it necessary to
carry over supplies by hand. Pictures
from the Pacific show soldiers beng

ports described the typhoon at Leyte as
a wild roar OF wind competing with the
ominous hurumph of bursting bombs.
Under such conditions attack is diff

it lasted into December before snow, ana

we have bold plans now awaiting supply
and hanging upon weather which, If not
favorable, may not be too formidable.
Unfortunately, the men who do the
fighting also have to suffer the brunt OF
bad weather. To march with full pack
is hard enough, but to march when ones
feet slip from under is ten times harder
To be wet is bad enough, but to have ones

To eat cold food is bad enough, but to

UNLIKE OUR OWN
GOVERNMENT PLAN

Americans are used to the three
principal Executive, Legislative and
Judicial branches of their govern
ment with checks and balances, the
executive being the President, the
legislative being divided into a Sen
ate and House of Representatives,
the judicial centered in a Supreme
Court and the lower federal courts.
The proposed United Nations or
ganization isn't like that at all.
In the first place, there is no real
executive power, for the United
Nations organization does not at
tempt to create superstate. The
Security Council will have certain
executive powers in enforcing peace,
and the Secretary General will have
certain broad administrative powers
in running the organization. But
neither will be a full-fledged eXecu-
tive, performing the functions OF a
world ruler.

Shortest chapter in the Dunbar
| ton Oaks proposals for United Ma
tions charter is No. III on Member
ship, which says simply:
Membership of the organization
should be open to all loving
states"
What constitutes "peace-loving
state" isn't defined, and by their
own assertion, Germany and Japan
are peace-loving states, so there's
an argument TO be settled.
Membership in the United Ma
tionS organization is not obligatory,
but that doesn't make much differ
ence. For it is generally assumed
that the neutral nations like Swe-
den and Switzerland will be eligible,
though they are net now members
of the United Nations and further
more. il is specified that non-mem-
bers will be expected to conduct
themselves so that they shall not
endanger the peace and security of
the members.
One interesting detail of the con-
ditions of membership is that no
provision is made for a nations
resigning. Thus it would be impos-
sible for Germany or Italy or Japan
to resign as they did from the
League of Nations and go off to
start wars in all directions.
Provision is made. however, for
nations to be suspended or even
expelled from membership in the
United Nations organization, when
they don't behave. Once suspended
or expelled, a nation could be read
mitted after it had met its obliga-
tions to the organization.

ROOSEVELT QUELlS
REVOLT OF AIDES

For the moment, at least, and perhaps
on for a time in the fourth term, the
President has stemmed what had all the
ear-marks Of a wholesale exodus of his
bureau directors and members.
First off, after the election, came Will
liam Davis, chairman of the War Labor
Board with his resignation in hand. Soon
he was followed by three members of
that board, and next in line came James
+. (Jimmie) Byrnes prepared to walk
out on serving as interim director of the
Office of War Mobilization and Recon
version All of which bellies the old say
ing that Democrat may die, but never
resign"
Just as capital columnists had found
new fuel To stoke their engines of COM
ment and were pouncing onto the subject
by yards of wordage, the White House
up and announced that, after all, the
boys had decided to stick around on their
Jobs. Byrnes supplemented the announce
nent by saying he would carry on until
Germany is licked. The WLB trio fol-
lowed in line and admitted they had been
"persuaded" to keep their bureau mobile
until-well, they just said they would
not insist on quitting.
Next comes the Senate, without refer
ring the matter to committee, and ap-
proves Byrnes' Appointment to the 1ull
dirsctorship of OMWR for a term of two
wears. However, all the former senator
supr eme-court-j justice has to do is change
the date of his resignation.
AS is customary, no named reasons for
these designations were given out. But
with the WLB members, there seemed
little doubt that their desire TO leave 1t
all behind could have been summed up
i'm the homely expression OF beng led
up'' on the whole process OF operation OF
their board.
Not an easy task by any means, ham
| ding matters consigned to the war La
bor Board has been much IN the lmellght
and some of the recent backing and MI
Il ing on the part of the chief executive IN
| which the board was made to appear fldl-
. culous. had lots to do with the mass
walkout plans.
Most recent of the humiliations WLB
members suffered was in connection with
. Mr.. Petrillo and his defiance of the board
and of the President permitting this un-
ion chief to ignore WLB orders. with
kthe added insult of having the matter
passed on, first to Mr.. Byrnes and then
back to the WLB. Gaping the climax,
lit would appear, in this instance, was
the very recent capitulation of the last
1.-TWO recording companies TO Petrillo
edict wherein the recorders accepted the
very terms the WLB threw out OF the
window.
Probably no other bureau of the many
serving the dictates of the new deal has
been ignored or repudiated as often by
unions, industrialists and the President
HIMSELF as this same WLB. Its members
Were drawn from active, responsible
places in civilian affairs and they could
not be blamed if they desired to get back
to where they could be their own boss.
It has not been disclosed how many
other bureau chiefs and members have
had their feelings hurt severely enough

observers have it that the exodus only
has begun.
