Word comes from Marking,
China, that the main buildings
of Chilling College for Women,
built some twenty years ago by
seven American Protestant wo-
mems societies and by Smith
College, and said to be the most
beautiful college buildings" in
all Asia, are being used by the
japanese TO store ammunition.
Fear is that the Allies may
bomb the campus in recapturing
Marking, or that the Japanese
may blow it up when they leave.
Meanwhile the college, under
President WI Yi-fang, China's
noted woman educator, carries
on classes in Chengtu, West
China, 1000 miles away. And
American church women are
now gathering funds to re-
assemble students and faculty in
Marking when the war is over,
TO furnish scholarships to needy
students, to re-equip the looted
institution - and probably re-
build some or all of its edifices.
There has recently been in
stalled in st. Johns Protestant
Episcopal Church, Massepa, New
York, a stained glass window
depicting Madame Chang Kai-
shek in native Chinese costume
and amid a garden of Chinese
flowers, as a symbol of inter-
national unity. Here an Ameri-
can-educated daughter of China
is shown in an American church,
in glass that has been gathered
from medieval days of France,
Belgium, and England. In the

AFL-CIO Ask Poll
On Cost Of Living

Organized labor has challenged the
government to submit the controver-
sia1 issue of the extent of the increase
in wartime living costs to a poll OF
the nations housewives.
ALL. Secretary Treasurer
George Meany and r. ]. Thomas,
of the CLIO, labor members of
the Presidents committee on the
Cost of Living, bluntIy rejected the
estimates made by the Bureau of
Labor Statistics. They insisted that
their own estimate that living costs
had increased Eat least 43.5 per-
cent since Pearl Harbor we're con-
sentative. The BIS, which puts the
increase at only "a percent, had
called the joint A.F.L.C.I.O. fig
ures absolutely wrong" Meany
and Thomas retorted:
"The Bureau of Labor Statistics dis
torts our findings, as it has continu-
ously distorted the rise in wartime
living costs, and does not answer the
basic data and major conclusions of
our report.

FOR MAYOR MURPHY'S
CONSIDERATION

Two vacancies exist on the Board
of Education of New Haven, and
we earnestly recommend to Mayor
John W. Murphy that he give seri-
GUS consideration to appointing a
representative of organized labor
to one of these positions.
One of the important lessons we
are learning from the prosecution
of the war is i'm order to get maxi
mum results i'm undertakings which
involve the entire community,
state, or nation. it is necessary to
have all sections of the population
represented on pOlicy-making
boards. Labor now is officially rep
resented on city, state. and nation
al War Price and Rationing Boards,
the War Labor Board, the War
Manpower Commission, Commun-
ity Chests, Public Housing Authori-
ties, the Red Cross and a host of
agencies whose decisions affect di.
rectIy or indirectly our daily lives.
The successful operation of the
1000 Labor-Managem Commit
tees in the war plants of this coun-
try is one of the reasons for our
almost miraculous records in war
production.
The logic of these developments
must be accepted on the local level.
The providing of education is one
of the broadest functions of muni-
cipal government, and labor repre-
sentatiOn on the Board of Educa-
ton should become a routine prin-
ciple of municipal government.
Mayor Murphy has good record
in recognizing labor's right to be
heard i'm official policy making
boards. We call upon him to strike
another blow for progressive gov
eminent by appointing a member
of organized labor to the New Ha-
ven Board of Education.

Fuel Oil Rationing To
Continue Next Winter

Whether or not we win the war

and that they should instead try
to live on BIS Statistics.
The labor leaders proposed that the
following question be submitted TO a
public opinion poll of American house
wives:
"The A.F.L.-CI.O. report found
living costs rose 43.5% since January
1911. The BIS. reports that they
rose only 1870. Which report most
closely is confirmed by your own ex-
periences?"
Promising ga full analysis of the
BIS confessions and laments," the
labor members termed the BIS
study 1.-THE most insulting docu-
ment to organized labor that has
emanated from the Department of
Labor since its creation more than
three decades ago."

Nobel Prize Winners
Al Banquet Dec. 10
ny the Associated Press.

~ LIE AAsOCieteu EEeba.
NEW YORK, Nov. 1l.-When war
suspended the annual Noble Prize
awards In Stockholm and Oslo, 4
group of Scandinavian Americans
seized the torch for the New World.
Three days after Pearl Harbor,
the first American Nobel anniver-
sary observance banquet at
tended by 800 persons took place
here Distinguished speakers and
guests OF many nationalities re-
stated the principles Of interna-
tional progress which in 1895 led
Alfred Nobel, Swedish scientist, to
bequeath the income from 50 ,0OO, 900
to each years outstanding figures
in the fields Of physics, chemistry,
physiology and medicine, literature
and peace.
THE observance caught on to an
amazing degree" says Mrs. Hjordis
Swenson, New York writer and
mother who headed the American
Scandinavian Center, sponsoring
group, and who delivered the well
coming address. 1T was one indi-
cation that America had become
the cultural center of the world"
Significant This Year.
This year, Mrs. Swenson--now
chairman of the American Nobel
Anniversary Observance Committee
expects the annual dinner on De-
cember 10 to be even more signifl-
cant than the first one. 4
That's because, she explains, I'VE
hope that in 1945 the Nobel Prizes
will again be awarded in Stock
holm and Oslo with International
ceremonies there-a sign that peace
Is returning to the world"
This year, at the dinner in New
York's Hotel Astor, Nobel Prize
winners are to be honored guests.
The affair will follow the first pres
entation Of Nobel awards in the
United States. -Four are to be given
to Americans by the Swedish Min
lister in New York during an after
noon ceremony.
Education for Peace" will be the
theme of the banquet. Speakers
will include men eminent In science
art and the field OF international
understanding. Among them will
be Representative Fulbright, DEM
ocrat, of Arkansas; Sirnorman An
gell. Nobel Peace Prize winner of
1888; Motion Picture Producer
Daryl F. Zanuck; Kent Cooper,
executive director of the Associated
Press; Physicist Arthur H. Comp
ton: Brian c. Penton, editor of the
Sydney (Australia) Telegraph.
Enduring Principles.
"As in previous years." says Mrs.
Swenson, this gathering will show
that the principles of Alfred Nobel
are more enduring than any con-
quest. He stipulated that the
awards were to be made without
any reference whatever to nation
ality. In a way, 1t is fitting that
America should have been the Gus
todian Of his memory when the
lights went out in Europe"
Mrs. Swenson has devoted 20 years
to developing understanding among
peoples.
Born in Christiansand, Norway,
50 years ago. she came to this coun-
try In 1923. Soon she noticed what
seemed to her an appalling lack of
knowledge about Scandinavian Gus
toms in American books, plays and
movies. Her method OF remedying
the situation was to offer her serv-
ices to publishers and producers as
consultant.
The plan worked. Going further,
she opened the American Scandi-
navian Center in New York, where
writer's of different nationalities
could meet. plan and market their
works.
