Clear Channel Station

All radio stations in the United
States broadcast over frequencies al
lotted by the Federal Communica-
tons commission which are, in eff
feet roads through the skies. Since
the number of broadcasting stations
exceeds so greatly the number of
channels, or roads, it is necessary
for some stations to share these
channels. A "clear channel station"
shares its frequency with no other
station in the United States and its
purpose is to provide radio service
for rural areas.

Jobs for all in the postwar world is the key to continued prosperity and peace, the Federal Council of Churches of Christ said in its an- nual Labor Day message issued through the Department of the Church & Social Service. The statement follows in part:
 Tn order to maintain full en- ploynent in peacetime, the problem of production must be tackled along three main fronts. Organized labor should be encouraged to maintain and strengthen its recent great gains which have already helped to raise the general level of living. At the same time, labor is under the solemn responsibility so to discipline itself as to merit the approval of fair minded people. Responsible labor lea derShip must make its contribution to the common good on the basis of justice to the employer and the gen. eral public as well as to labor.
 ''But steady employment in the postwar world will depend also on the full cooperation of manage. ment. Management is likewise un. der obligation to place the common good above its own selfish interest. American businessmen will meet their full responsibility only as they direct their great ingenuity toward meeting consumption needs on a world scale.
 Our American industrial system with its mutual dependence on capi- tai and labor, will hold the respect of society to the degree that it can succeed in adapting its program tc the demands of a world economy Any tendency toward a narrow isola- tionism or economic imperialism on the part of industrial leadership would constitute d betrayal of the millions who are making such sacri- fees on the world batt1efronts, and would constitute a step toward World War Mo- 5. Our churches as part of a worldwide fellowship could not but resist such development. We appeal, therefore, to management and labor alike to cooperate who1eheartedly ill a vast. program for worldwide peace and prosperity"

 LET the medical journals take note that in Lincoln, Neb., amazing things are being done in their field. In story about an automo- bile collision, the Lincoln State Journal carried this paragraph:

 And back they went, we presume, to their rightful owner.

 In Back Salaries

L. c. DeFe1ice & Son, Inc, of Net tleton Ave, New Haven, engaged in the reconstruction, maintenance and repair of roads, highways, bridges, and airports, has agreed to comply with the overtime compensation and record-keeping provisions of the Fed eral Wage-Hour Law (Fair Labor Standards Act) under the terms of a consent decree entered before Judge Harold C. Hincks in U. s. District Court.
 The corporation also signed a stipulation to pay approximately 1855 employees a total of 3,533.53 in back wages. The defendant agreed to pay the total of back wages within a period of a year at the rate of not less than $l, ,OOO per month.
 In the Wage-Hour complaint filed by Regional Attorney George H. Fo- ley of the U. s. Department of La Dor, the New Haven contracting firm was charged with failure to pay employees overtime compensation for workweeks longer than 40 hours since October 24, 194O The defend ant corporation was also charged with failure to keep and preserve accurate records of its employees.
 Violations were disclosed as a re- suit of an inspection of the defend ant corporations books made under the direction of Supervising Inspec- tor James A. Dougherty of the Hartford, Connecticut office and New England Regional Director Leo A. Gleason of the Wage and Hour and Public Contracts Divi- sion, U. s. Department of Labor.

 PRESS censors in Normandy are happy over the capture of a box of German pencils, reports John Thompson of the Chicago Tribune. Usually, he explains, the censors use two pencils, ga blue one with which to slash out the best sec tiOns of our stories, and a red one to restore the deIetions whenever q correspondent can argue them into doing so.''
 The new pencils, he says are half red and half blue, and the censOrs are simply tickIed to death.
