Newark, n. j., Feb. 26-The CIO

MANPOWER LOST
This Is not reassuring. These
people were workers and the dis
eases recorded were severe enough
10 keep them off the Job for eight
DAVIS or more. That represents a
lot of lost manpower. And these
statistics indicate that the situa-
ton Is getting worse.
Under wartime conditions an IN
crease In sickness Is practically In
evitable. Longer hours, harder
work, a shifting population, crowd
ing In substandard and downtown
housing. shortage Of doctors and
for a lot Of people-the high cost
Of living, all combine to have an
unfavorable effect on health.
The most effective way to
co,mteract these influences 10
through aggressive group action.
F, BY improving working condi-
tions. unions make an important
contribution to health.
Through representation on de-
Tense councils and other civic
groups. unions can do much TO
improve community services that
promote health.
Finally, by letting their elected
representatives know which side
their political bread Is buttered
on. union members can make
their influence felt on such I'M

Now and then In the newspapers
you will see an announcement that
the death rate has dropped frac-
ton of q point or two. This Is
usually followed by the pulling
statement that. in spite OF all the
wartime shortages and dislocations,
the public health Is apparently bet
ter than ever.
The catch In this 10 that death
rates and mortality statistics tell
little about the state OF pubic
health. All such figures do Is give
an idea Of the volume OF deaths
from all causes. They provide no
indication OF the amount OF sick
ness, the severity Of sickness or
the kinds Of sickness that may be
going the rounds Of the community
or the nation.
sl% MORE ILLNESS
Let's look at some statistics OF a
different sort, to see II there are
any grounds for complacency about
wartime health.
The U. 9. Public Health Service
keeps tab on some 100000 indus
trial workers and publishes re-
ports of the amount and kinds OF
sickness they suffer.
The report for the second quar-
ter Of 1913 was released recently.
IL shows that during this period
there were 81 per cent more
eases Of Illness lasting eight or
more days than during the cor
responding three-month period In
1912.
The greatest increase was In res
piratory diseases which shot up o.
per cent over the 1912 figure. Pneu-
monia increased 50 per cent; in
fiuenza and grippe. IT per cent?

A statement submitted by them
said:
"At the present time, only
e5.772 children are being taken
care Of in 2,243 child care prob
ects. This does not begin to meet
the existing need, as evidenced
by the fact that four out Of five
women hired today leave their
Jobs because Of home problems.
One OF the most common OF these
Is lack Of adequate care for their
children.
1.-THE War Manpower Commission
estimates that one out OF every
seven women workers has a child

least $4,000 more children than
at the present will need care by
July 1 II the recruitment program

lions for 500 child care projects

grants expire unless this appro-
priation Is granted at once.

Limitation of S40.000,O00 imposed
by Act of Congress Of July Is. 1943,

TO be used for maintenance and
operation of these war services
should be lifted. Failure to remove
this limitation would mean a total
collapse Of the child care program.

Some Specia|ties Up,
But Many Stocks
Lack Support
BY VICTOR EUBANK,
Associated Press Rinancial Writer

NEW YORK, Aug. 29.-Specialties
and other stocks With q peace tinge
made headway In today's market but
many leaders elsewhere continued
to find the going somewhat dimcult.
Thoughts Of reconversion, Gov
ernment contract termination, cut
backs and unemployment again
were stressed by the rapid strides of
the Allies toward the Reich. Numer-
Gus customers, consequently, had
further arguments for inhabiting
neutral speculative and investment
territory. Some purchasing cropped
up here and there because Of the
belief the recent sidewise shift of
prices and the drying up of selling
had put the list In q healthier tech
nical shape with chances for a rally
much improved.
Mild irregularity persisted after
the opening and near CLOSING trends
were murky. Turnover of around
100000 shares was another of the
smallest for a full stretch since
midday.
Ahead at intervals were Zonite
Products, South Porto Rico Sugar
West Indies Sugar, Southern Pa
cific. Goodrich, General Motors,
Bethlehem, Certain-teed, Anaconda
Westinghouse and Philip Morris.
Laggards most of the proceedings
were Chrysler, J. I. Case, Kennecott,
