Bs the Associated Press.
KANSAS CITY, Kans., Oct. 2l.-
Production Of BIS medium bomb
ers at the North American Aviation
plant was virtually at a standstill
today after pickets had turned away
nearly all the night shift workers.
The walkout began Thursday at
the modification center, a mile from
the main plant where approx
mately $4,000 are employed. About
1000 are employed at the center.
Officials of the United Automobile
Workers (CIO) said the walkout
was unauthorized. Their pleas that
the employees return to work went
unheeded.
John w. Vinson, president OF
UAW local No. 81, said workers at
the modification center were dis
satisfied because Of increasing
transfers to the main plant where
their classifications and wages were
lowered.
The company announced yester-
day it had sent kilograms to 127
employees, whom they regarded as
leaders in the modification plant
walkout, terminating their services.
The conciliation service of the
Labor Department assigned Com
missioner E. H. Refs to the case.

Foundation Of Our War Effort


 It is refreshing to pick up a copy of Food Marketing, published by the First National Stores of Somerville, Massachu- setts, and see pictures of blooming apple orchards, the packaging of eggs, flats of cabbage and lettuce plants, and fruit trees being sprayed. It makes one realize that in spite of war and its destructive forces, they are being counteracted by the reproductive processes of the earth.
 The war factory that makes record in production is given tokens of recogni- ton, but the "war effort" of all of them rests on what is done on the land and in the stores to produce and distribute food If the food production industry used the tactics employed by some labor and political leaders to accomplish their ends, the war effort would collapse.
 The record of production and distribu- ton of food, as shown in Food Marketing, impresses one with the fact that every war activity depends on the land. We would be helpless if American farm pro- duction and distribution ever faltered But the trees bloom, the soil produces, the farmers work and the stores dis tribute, in spite of every handicap placed upon them.

Milk Down Drains

The Christian Science Monitor, which is no calamity howler, complains that in and around Boston milk is being poured down drains, because of government reg ulations, while eager consumers are short on milk, cream and ice cream.
 The Monitor says that the government order, limiting milk dealers from selling more than prescribed percentage of the June, 1943, sales, leaves them with sur plus now that green pasturage has i1l- creased production. They can't legally sell the surplus. They could give it away, but that would involve unbearable out lays for pasteurization, bottling and dis tribution. So they have to throw it away. The creation of planned economies, on paper, looks easy. Their administration can be pretty difficult.

Views Of The Press

Governor appeared before them was figure that violated most of the conventions of the political game. MT. Dewey is not tall figure with waving mane and declamatory voice. He already belongs in Q new tradition--of direct, simple speech and controlled emotion. Here was first of all an administrator, who knew how to choose and command a staff of workers.
 But New Workers know well by this time the hidden fire that lies below the surface of the Dewey ex- terior Only force of a high order could have annihilated the racke- teers of this city. Only driving er- ergy could have vitalized staff as he has brought new life to the old governmental forces at Albany. A number of speakers at Chicago re- ferred to this job of house clean ing needed in the Federal govern ment. It is our guess that this fact had much to do with the choice of Mir Dewey. More from instinct than knowledge, the delegates felt that the Governor was, by nature and training, the man to perform the Herculean task that lies ahead at

Must They Pay For A Job?

An issue is before the state of Oregon that will be common to each of the 48 states. The voters of the city of Portland have approved postwar projects involving the expenditure of millions of dollars in public improvements which will afford employment and opportunity to the boys returning from the armed services.
 The question is now raised, Will the veterans of World War II be forced to join labor organizations and pay for the right to obtain postwar employment on public works jobs financed by taxation? In other words, when the taxpayers au- thorize a public expenditure, will that mean that a substantial percentage of such money must be allocated to organ ization dues, rather than to the improve ments for which the money was voted?
 veterans who risked their lives to per- pekuate individual liberty, may well resent restrictions at home that force them to pay for the right to earn a living.

Somebody is always taking the joy out of life. Now it is Dr. J. Parker Van Zandt, one time consultant to the CAB who says that the North Pole is not going to be- come the crossroads of international air travel.
 One of our solaceS, in these drear and sultry weeks, has been the supposition that, as soon as the war was won, we could hop into plane any day from any place and know that it would stop in at the Pole, where we could, at will, stop over for a cool rest and bit of skiing, skating, sliding, snowshoeing or perhaps modelling Snowmen.
 Whats the use of ending the war, if we can't go to the Pole without hiring an air taxi?
