Dallas, Tex.-Demanding a post

stead of peace and poverty, WPB Vice
Chairman Joseph D. keenan, told the
national convention of the Bricklayers,

formance by winning the economic
war against unemployment and pow
erty."
To achieve a constructive program
in the postwar period necessary to
assure full employment and to rem
edy the housing shortage, plans must
be drawn now and the Government
must cooperate with industry and
labor, Mr.. keenan, insisted. He add
ed:

POSTAL UNIONS ASK
CONGRESS VOTE ON
MODEST PAY INCREASE

Washington, d. C.-"Exceedingly
modest" requests for permanent in
creases in the wages of the nations
postal employees were presented be-
fore the Senate Post Office Commit
tee by leading labor representatives.
William C. flushing, chairman of
the AFL Legislative Committee,
opened the argument for passage Of
the Mead bill, which provides for
$400 annual boost in pay scales in
stead of the temporary $500 increase
voted last year.
William c. Doherty, President of
the National Association of Letter
Carriers, told the Senators that more
than nineteen years had elapsed since
Congress had granted the last per-
manent pay increase for letter car
riers. He charged that the letter car
riers are not receiving fair treatment
from the government and demanded
that their needs be given as much con-
sideration as workers in private en-
ployment.
The 20 percent withholding tax on
wage incomes has more than wiped
out the $500 raise given the letter car
riers last year, Mr.. Doherty said.
Three Senators Immediately voiced
their endorsement of the legislation.
They were Senators Wagner, Tun-
nell and LANCER. The latter declared
the increase should be $1,000 a year
instead of merely $4O0. Senator Mead,
author of the bill, indicated that he
would move for prompt action as
soon as Congress resumes sessions
after the election.
| William l. Horner, representing the
$4,000 members of the National Fed
Grafton of Post Office Clerks, also de-
livered telling arguments in favor of
the bill. He pointed out that the postal
service is zone of the most essential
branches Of the government" and that
it's personnel "is comprised of loyal,
faithful, efficient employees who are
merely seeking simple justice"
Other AFL organizations which
urged passage Of the Mead bill at the
hearing included the Railway Mail
Association, the Rural Letter Car
riers and the Special Delivery Mes
sengers.

presented, land purchased, materials
obtained, equipment arranged for,
and authority obtained. Thus far, it
has been estimated that less than
1870 of the amount of public con-
struction needed in the first peace
year for full employment has act
ually been planned, that is, has been
engineered and is ready to go, while
public construction planning is pro-
ceeding at about the rate of 20 a
month. If planning doesn't speed up
beyond this rate, construction will
never be able to get under way soon
enough to help in the reabsorption
process at the time of crucial need.
eve must start Immediately, if we
are to do our share by moving on
into a postwar period of increased
production activity. In the construc-
ton industry, as in all industries, in
the coming postwar period, proper
direction of the reconversion process
toward full production and full en-
ployment should make it possible to
create an era in which we will have
decreased prices and increased wages
and at the same time retain normal
profits"

BEAUTY TIPS
 TO TEENA6ERS

Associated Press Beauty EditOr)
 All of sudden it happens-your pug-nosed little girl with pigtails becomes a young lady.
 It's not too early for her to learn there are no short cuts to a beau tiful complexion. If she wants clear, smooth skin she must be taught that daily cleanliness is necessary
 Otherwise, pores fill up with natural oil secretions instead of throwing them off, and this inn proper, function causes blackheads.
 In turn, the blackheads may be- come infected and cause pimples and eruptions. Of course these may be due to diet, poor elimination, fatigue, nerves, lack of exercise or any number of other causes of which physician is the proper diagnostician. However, in every in- stance of poor skin functioning proper external treatment is advis- able.
 Your daughters skin should be washed daily with a pure, mild, antlseptic soap. Then 1t can be treated with cleansing packs con- taining medicated herbs such as Grandma used to concoct.
 Before retiring, she should soak cleansing pack in hot water for about three minutes, scrubbing the entire face and throat vigorously with it, rinsing with absorbent cotton or wash cloth dipped in the same water in which the cleansing pack is soaked
 She can then smooth a medi- cated acne lotion over the erup- tions and leave it on all night.
 In the orning she should cleanse her skin thoroughly with soap and water. Fatty or oily creams should never be used as they may spread infection where there are pimples or blackheads.

DIAPERS FOR WAR
 BABIES ARE NOW
 IN NEW WRINKLE
By ARLENE WOLF AP Newsfeature Writer

War took the cuffs off Pops pants, the elastic out of Mom's and put new wrinkle in Babys.
 The new wrinkle, called kite fold, is a conspiracy to get more baby into less diaper. Before war tine conservation of cotton goods three -cornered pants measured 30' X 30' Material shortages cut them down to bare 27" 27" and those curtailed inches left a considerable breach on the diaper front.
 Kite folding, guaranteed to keep baby well groomed, was not invent ed by a harassed mother who re- sorted to T-square and tapemeas- ure when she found diapers get ting smaller and baby getting big ger simultaneously. It was figured out scientifically by a Princeton graduate, George Garland, secre- tary of the National Institute of Diaper Services, a 15-year-old, TO- million dollar industry.
 Garland, who will demonstrate the new diaper fold at the drop ot a fair-sized handkerchief or table napkin, doesn't see anything funny about the fact that a man rather than a woman invented the new technique. He thinks men are better diaperers than women anyway, anc handle the problem more scien. tifically.
 "A woman," he says, depends completely upon intuition, while g man, faced with diapering his off spring, depends on scientific knowl- edge gleaned from ably prepared books. Men also look for labor saving devices, while a woman con- tinues after the manner of hel grandmother"
 Garland may be right at that For decades, mothers have sweateo over washtubs full of dirty diapers but 1t was a man, back in 1929 who hit on the idea of a service that collected soiled diapers and delivered clean ones.
 And it's men-not women-whc are experimenting now with fabric for better postwar, three -cornerec pants. There's even talk of using rayon and e~nylon combinations They're also working on the prob- lem of keeping enough diapers rolling off postwar laundry lines to meet the expected rise in the birth rate, and are even tackline

the job of making the container more efficient and better looking.
 The first diaper service - The General Diaper Service-started as a by-product of a New York linen supply business run by four bro therS named Bonoff. They began with handful of customers, a few diapers, one delivery truck, and a couple of garbage cans for con- tainers. They charged $1.50 for as many diapers as you could use in a week, but finally had to assign numerical quotas when they dis covered five mothers in one Bronx apartment house pooling their dirty diapers on one bill.
 Now the industry employs some 10000 people, including 4,000 drivers who are the nearest modern equi- valent to the old-faShioned ice man that any industry ha soffered. The diaper man is practically member of the household He knows where to go for the soiled wash, has the run of the house, and often the key to it.
 As he trundles his diaper bundles from one house to another, he serves as a kind of maternal grape vine, passing along the latest word on bringing up baby. In most cases, he's a married man, with a couple of kids of his own, who really takes an interest in juniors progress
 Today, of course, many of these diaper deliverers are scattered around the world in the armed services. But they Invent lost in- terest in three -cornered pants, no matter how they're being folded these days. Aaron Bonoff gets a steady stream of letters speculating on the advantages of opening post war services everywhere from the South Pacific islands to Alaska.

 The c ardinals defeated the Browns four out of five in the spring series which offers no basis for comparison because both man. agers were then trying out new players.
