COMPROMISE SEEN

The controversy over the Tit

moving toward a compromise.
One proposal has been that wage
rates should be hiked when We

curtailment OF overtime pay.
The bone of contention in the
tive-man cost of living conmittee
was whether the living cost fig
ures of the labor departments

correct or not.

FINDS STAIN TOUGH

~
Although his Moscow visit was
very friendly in character, reports
indicate that Churchill found Mar
shall Stain exceedingly tough to
negotiate with and rocklike and
Iunyielding on all matters pertain
ing to Soviet Russia's present and
postwar interests.
Some doubts have been ex-
pressed whether the Roosevelt
Churchill-Stalin meeting will take
place before the end OF the year
which is only six weeks away.
1t may depend in part on the
progress of the offensives against
Germany.
1t is pointed out that such a
Idecisively ia I full conference
scarcely can be held until ar
agreement has been reached or
some very important outstanding
issues.
Among these are said to be the
terms of peace TO Germany, more
Especially the fate and treatment
of postwar Germany, on which
there are repeatedly marked diff
ferenceS of views between Mos
COW. London and Washington.
RED DREAM REALIZED
Stains recent speech must be
evaluated in the light of Soviet
Russia'S strategical military sit
uation and supporting her polit-
ical diplomatic position and
strength.
In northern Norway, Stain has
realized Russia's centuries-long
dream of reaching the Atlantic.
That, together with the control
of the Baltic Sea. completely
changes the strategic situation of
the Scandinavian countries, Nor
way. Sweden and Denmark, not
to mention Finland.
In the center, Red armies are
in East Prussia and in the south
east on the Adriatic.
After the fall of Budapest,
Stains armies will probably en-
deavor to take Vienna.
STAIN IN KEY POSITION
Therefore, despite another win
ter of war, doubtless proving as
appalling to the Russians as to
the rest of Europe. Stains Stra-
tegical military situation is strong.
The strength of the Red mar
shal's political and diplomatic in
fluence on peace and postwar
Europe can be measured by his
strategical military position.
No speeches in Washington,
London. Moscow and elsewhere
can remove or even gloss over the
cold fact that making peace at the
end of the war finds the Allies in
two gigantic camps, Numerically

Davis Claims Rise
Of 30 Pet. Since Al

WASHINGTON. Nov. Is (INS)
An estimate by Chairman Davis
that the cost of living had gone
up 20 to 80 per cent since jan
uary. 1e41, highlighted a report TO
President Roosevelt today by a
sharply divided War Labor Board
committee.
The fve-man committee, OF
which Davis was head, split wide
open over the wartime cost of
living controversy. and Davis es-
innate was sharply challenged by
the two labor members of the
group, George Meany of the AFL
and r. ]. Thomas of the Go.
At the same time, the chair
mans figures focused the spot
light on the controversial little
steel" wage formula. The cost Of
living report is expected to be
the forerunner of a new drive by
organized labor TO smash the for
mula, and to force up wage rates.

TRADE RIVALRY RAMPANT

There is a note of desperation
in England's national economic
situation which finds expression
in demands for opportunities 70

ports and in complaints that
American commercial interests
are taking advantage of the war
to capture world markets.
OverShadowing the slow Anglo
American military progress on the
western front and the IA months
campaign in Italy, is the extraU-
binary publicity given in the
British, Swedish, Swiss, Spanish
and Portuguese press TO the Ger
man VIZ weapon.
Columns on the NaZi weapon
fill the newspapers.
These, rather than the Ger

that Hitler really has something. -

Mr.. Roosevelt said he recognized
the seriousness of the tax problem
facing Teton County. Wyoming,
through the removal of lands within
the monument boundaries from the
tax books.
Therefore. he said, he would be
sympathetic" to the enactment of
legislation providing that federal
revenues from the national park
system could be used to offset, on an
equitable basis, any loss of taxes due
to the maintenance of the Jackson
Hole Monument.
The President said he would also
be sympathetic to legislation that
would codify the administrative pol

ton of federal lands within the
m n m n t area. Among other
things, he said, such law might
provide for private landholders to
continue their grazing privileges on
