To Pack SurqicaI DRESSINGS

An ingenious little machine that
saves hundreds of work-hours in
the packing of small surgical dress
lngs is in use by the District Red
Cross Unit at Walsh House, the
District chapter revealed today.
The dressing packer is the inven-
ton of Harry G. Lebherz of Fred
erick. Md. whose wife, Red Cross
worker, had complained to him of
the tediousness of packing small
2-by-2-inch dressings.
Recently when Mrs. Brown Har-
bold, chairman OF surgical dress
ings for the district chapter, gave
a course In the preparation of dress
lngs to a group of women from chap
ters IN nearby Maryland and Viz
sinia, Mrs. Lebherz was one of he,
students.
The machine was presented to the
District chapter In appreciation OF
Mrs. Harbold's services.
1nasmuch as it must now be made
OF vital metal, Mrs. Lebherz ha.
been able to manufacture only Ave
OF the machines. However. 1t is
hoped that more Of the devices NAV
be made Of plastic, II that is found
suitable.

clio Executive Board
Opposes
..s--4ssa u. y
National Service Law

Leaders OF the Congress OF Indus
trial Organizations lined up solidly
last night in q new expression q
opposition to national service legis-
lation.
"A resolution opposing the Austin
Wadsworth bill and reafirming ac-
ton Of the National CIO Convention
opposing any national service law
was adopted unanimously at 4 meet
ing Of the organization's executive
board.
Harry Bridges, president of the
Lsongshoreman's Union, and Joseph
Curran, head Of the National Mari
time Union, Joined chiefs OF all the
other CIO unions in voting for the
resolution.
Both Mr.. Bridges and Mr.. Curran
previously had been reported as ia
voring President Roosevelt's Ave
point program, including national
service legislation. CIO sources said
the two had asserted their views
had been misinterpreted.
Ask Wage Increase.
The board said in another unani-
mously adopted resolution that q
must be made in the
national wage policy to allow labor
an increase to make up for the ac-
tual rise in the cost of living since
January l, 194l.
The board, composed Of Presi-
dent Philip Murray, nine CIO vice
presidents and heads yof 40 unions,
said such an adjustment merely
would fulfill a commitment given to
the people by the price control law
of October 2, 1912.
Mr.. Murray told reporters that
while the rise In living costs had not
been determined definitely, surveys
made by labor members OF the
Presidents Cost-of- Living Com
mittee indicated an increase Of 46.5
per cent-nearly double the esti-
mate Of the Bureau OF Labor Sta
tistics.
Urge "Justs Tax Law.
The Little Steel" formula-base
Of the wartime labor policy-allows
only Is per cent wage increase to
meet higher living costs.
The board pledged efforts to in
duce Congress to enact "an equit-
able tod just" tax measure, includ-
ing continuance Of authority of the
Government to renegotiate war con-
tracts and to appropriate funds for
food subsidies.
I'VE recognize" q resolution said
"our obligation to bring the message
to all Americans that stabilization
Of our domestic economy to avoid
the perils Of imitation is the essen
tial cornerstone for national unity
at home"
To Attend Labor Conference.
The board approved the action of
Mr.. Murray in accepting last week
an invitation to attend q world labor
congress In London next June. The
American Federation Of Labor Ex-
|ecutive Council rejected q similar
invitation.
Appointed as the organization s
delegates to the London meeting
were Mr.. Murray. James Carey, CIO
secretary-tr treasurer: Lee Freshman,
general counsel, and the nine vice
presidents. Mr.. Curran, s. H. Dali
rymple. Albert Fitzgerald. John

Glamour and snap characterized
the concert Of the National Sym
phony last night when Andre KOS
telanetz appeared as guest conduc-
tor and Lily Pons as soloist. The
former quality was supplied by the
lovely Miss Pons while her husband
poured out his vastNAmount Of en-
ergy in drawing from the orchestra
the snapptest performance it has
ever given. That the musicians
knew what was expected Of them
and wanted to be ready had them
all doing q bit of private practice
as they waited on the stage for the
concert to begin.
This was in preparation for the
lively overture to KAbalevsky'
opera, "Colas Breugnon," which Is
Of an entirely different stamp from
his symphony heard here on Sum
day. It's bright hues, lively tempt
and fresh quality gave another in
sight into the talent Of this newest
Soviet composer to become known
In this country. Mr.. Kostelanetz
presented it in splendid fashion at
this first local hearing of the work
and registered ats originality and
colorful effects.
The two other orchestral num-
bers directed by Mr.. Kostelanetz,
the Albeniz-Arbos Iberia Suite"
and Rimsky -Korsakoff's "capriccio
Espagnol," are fun of yigor and
rhythm, IN which the conductor
revels. His dynamic personality is
felt at every moment and he is able,
through his positive directing, clean
accents and speedy rhythms to at
tain a brilliantly hued pictorization.
Not much effort is wasted in subtle
ties, nor does Mr.. Kostelanetz by
preference choose works that re-
quire such, but creates unabatingly
4 spirited atmosphere.
Very much more toward the higher
artistic standards was Miss Pons'
singing throughout the program.
Even the two arias that display her
amazing technical facility, that from
Gretry,s "Zemire ct Azor" and the
"Caro Nome from Verdi's "Rigo-
letto," had extra care bestowed on
finesse of phrasing and on emo
