small merchants who normally dis
tribute 76 per cent of all dresses
retailing from $149 to s1.69 have
received under WPB and OPA or
ders only 4.8 per cent of this mer-
chandise, while 95 per cent has
gone to larger stores.
A similar situation was declared
to exist in regard to the distribu-
'tion Of mems shirts and shorts.

Steel Pay Case Due
To Last Until Fall
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press.
A decision in the steel industry
wage dispute, a crucial factor in the
stabilization fight, is not expected
until late summer or the fall.
Nearly four months after the War
Labor Board assumed jurisdiction,
only the unions case has been heard
to date. After several postpone
ments, presentation of the COM
panies' case is scheduled to start
Tuesday before a WLB panel.
Ninety-six companies are re-
spondents in the basic dispute and
company sources sasid that nearly
every one of them desires to make
some individual presentation. This
does not mean that each company
will make complete, independent
presentation, but they desire to ar
que the peculiar effect of the unions
demands on the individual COM
panies.
According to some estimates, this
would take the panel hearings well
into June. The panel is striving for
a report to the board by July /,
but If the hearings run into June
that goal will not be met.
Meanwhile, Chairman Paul ".
McNutt of the War Manpower
Commission said the 48-hour week

BY MARGARET NOVEL;.

The war has taken so much of
our time these days that it is easy
to let our civic responsibilities slide
With so many of the men away
from home, there is more reason
than ever for the "homebodies" to
do their share, and make their
voices heard in their neighborhood
problems.
Even though you may not be a
property owner your ideas and sug-
gestions are valuable in moulding
the neighborhood policy of your
part of town. Though you may be
a newcomer, living in our midst for
the duration only, the fact that you
are from another community brings
to your neighborhood council new
ideas. You may be just the one
to offer plan which will help solve
a local problem.
Citizens Groups Are Alive.
The citizens associations in Wash
ington are live organizations which
discuss all civic problems touch
upon neighborhood welfare. When
they band together, either to pro-
tect or affirm any measure, their
collective strength is considerable.
This is vital way in which every
householder may lend his or her
support to all civic improvements
and feel himself valuable member
of the community.
To those with children in school
the parent-teacher meetings offer
an opportunity to have a voice in
plans for education, recreation and
child welfare. Here, too, is the chance
to help on the summer camping
programs for children. In spite of
all the extra things all of us are at
tempting to do these days, COM

Less Than Majority
Would Back CIoture
On Poll Tax Bill

Chances of passing the anti-poll
tax bill In this Congress appeared
to be remote today, as polls by both
Democratic and Republican leaders
indicated less than a majority
would vote to apply the cloture rule,
limiting debate. Cloture requires
thirds.
Supporters of the bill to abolish
the poll tax, which already has
passed the House, have not aban-
doned their intention of trying to
get the measure before the Senate,
but, without cloture, Southern op-
ponents Of the bill could prevent a
vote by filibustering, as they have
in the past. A checkup yesterday
indicated not more than 80 or 40
votes for cloture.
The administration, convinced
that the bill faces an insurmount-
able obstacle, struck it from its
Legislative must" list, but agreed to
its being called up at the insistence
Of labor organizations and other
groups striving for a roll call on
cloture.
Senator Wherry of Nebraska, Re-
publican whip, told reporters that
on the basis of an incomplete poll
OF members. he felt sure that pro-
ponents of the measure could do
no better than they did in Novem-
Der, 1912, when cloture was de-
feated Al to 81. Senator Wherry
said there would be insistence from
the Republican side for a vote on
the poll tax issue "even if it is SIM
ply a vote on the question of lin
Iiting debate"
Meanwhile, Majority Leader Bark
ley said the bill would not be called
up before the week of May /.
