Court Again Mixes
 Montgomery Ward

In turning thumbs down on a Montgomery Ward & Co. appeal, the Supreme Court upheld lower court decision that National War Labor Board orders are neither reviewable nor enforceable by federal courts.
 The mail order firm contended the WLB exceeded its statutory powers in issuing orders involving union maintenance, dues checkoff and griev- ance machinery for CIO employees at six Ward stores. Their appeal from a U. s. district court of appeals de- cision that WLB actions are admins trative and advisory to the President and not subject to judicial review, was denied by the high tribunal.

s'INDEX OF PRICES''
 Based largely on BIS index figures, the report, announced by Chairman William Davis of the National War Labor Board and Chairman of the WLB committee appointed by the President to study the rise in living costs, knocks off l3 percentage points from the 43.5 % cost of living increase sub- mitted to the WLB by Labor Mem. bers R. J. Thomas, president of the United Auto Workers (CIO), and A.F.L. Secretary Treasure, George Meany.
 Both Thomas and Meany, in letters accompanying the report to the Presi- dent, point out that the BIS index is simply an index of prices" and does not measure changes in "total living costs" or show the full wartime effect on cost of living factors of lower quality, disappearance of low-priced goods and forced changes in housing. ,
 The committees report also leans heavily on an analysis made by the Mitchell Committee, ap pointed by Davis to study the s'dis crepancies'' between the 43.5% % rise estimate and the BIS index figure of 23%.
 Here, the labor members point out the Mitchell Committee itself agrees "the the BIS index grossly under states the rise in cost of living, if cost Of living is taken to mean the amount of money family spends for the com nodities and services 1t buys"
 Labor members asked the Presi dent to take realistic view" Oi living cost increases and to act promptly toward correcting the "great inequity American workers are suffering as a result of mount ing living costs and frozen wages

Chicago'S scientists did some heavy
thinking. Before the war. American
comics were serviced to 131 countries
and colonies They were translated
into such languages as Javanese and
Yugoslav and adapted TO local condi-
tons. If, the savants reasoned, Jiggs'
corned beef and cabbage could be
transmitted TO fish and rice to make
the strip understandable to the Chi
nese, why couldn't a dull subject be
prettied up?
IT could. They created Joe Elk,
just as Carl Anderson created Henry.
Joe Elk probably never will be as
well known as Buttercup or Toots
and Casper. But the scientists hope
he will achieve some measure of the
personalities of the comic characters,

Crystal City, Texas, heart of the
spinach country, dedicated a monu-

But the comics have proved their =,

since the late Morrill, Goddard, first
editor of The American Weekly, first
put them in color in 1894 when he
was Sunday editor of the old New
