camp was only twenty miles the other side

including Larry Jackman, the best man.
SHE closed her ears to Dru's buzzing; tied
a gay scarf over her honey-colored hair,
slipped a blue raincoat over her turquoise
blue frock, to drive into town to meet Bob
at the bus station and bring him out to dinner
To the rhythm of the windshield wiper
going slap-slap across the streaming glass,
she kept thinking: ''Darn-darn - we'll have

kisses! The house, as usual. is positively
seething with Dads weekend guests. You'd

She had been behind this very wheel when
Bob had kissed her the first time - nearly
two months ago, that was. She'd known him
lust three hours and he had said, along with
the kiss: THAT'S ,0hat you'oe done to mel"
He'd done plenty to her too!
He lowered above the crowd waiting out
side the bus station. In three eager strides,
he was beside her in the car. Darling, what
a crime to drag you out on night like this"
He pulled her close against him, kissed her
hard. His cheeks were cold and wet, but nice;
his mouth was warm - nicer. No man is
worth it."
''You are" she murmured fondly. Besides

would go; no use looking ahead - AS they
turned into the lane leading to the Stargate

guests?"
"A few this-and-thats from Hollywood

Labor in Politics
Washington POST

Washington POST
The Juror created by the CLOS announcement
that it had set aside 100000 fund for political
purposes suggests the need for careful denomination
of the problems resulting from the growing political
influence of organized labor AS previously stated
we do not believe that the solution for those problems
lies in sweeping legislative prohibitions What is called
for is a type of regulation aimed at abuses which at
the same time doesn't deny the right of organized
labor to formulate and work for certain political
detectives.
The experience of the British in regulating the
political activities of trade unions offers valuable
suggestions for guidance because British trades
unions have developed under liberal form OF gov
eminent having much in common with our own
political institutions Furthermore the British have
progressed further than we have. There the trade
union movement had reached mature stage OF devel-
opment when American unionism was still IN the
embryonic stage 1t is thus worth noting that there
does appear to be any serious questioning OF the
right of trade unions to be in politics They are IN
fact the chief financial support of the Labor Party
The aim of regulation is simply to make sure that
the funds collected from members for the further
ance of the specific purposes for which the union was
established shall not be diverted to political ends
In 1918 Great Britain required specific authorize
ton for use of union funds for political purposes by
majority of trade -union members voting by secret
ballot 1t further provided that any member VINO
did not wish to make political contributions could
signify his unwilingness and would be entitled to
ton did not fully meet objections to the employment
general union funds for political purposes In 1927
legislation accordingly passed requiring the writ
ten consent of every member of trade union from
which political contributions sought, regardless OF
whether a majority favors such contributions. For
political purposes separate levy on asserting mem
bers required and unions also compelled to file
annual financial statements regarding the disposition
of these political funds
To sum up the British do not try to suppress
the political activities of their trade unions. Indeed
that would be attempting the impossible and inviting
political catastrophe well if they did. But they do
insist that members of trade unions shall be permitted
to decide for themselves whether they wish to put
up funds to further the aims and assist the cam
political activities of the British trade unions to be
ddates of the Labor Party No doubt it hampers the
compelled to segregate their political funds from
their general funds. But decent regard for the
rights of the individual requires not only that labor
shall have voice in politics but that union members
who belong to minority groups shall not be coerced
directly indirectly into financing political programs
assisting candidates not of their political choice

The Alaskan Department has done much to ease
the agitation agnst removal of Alaskas travel control
in issuing the new simplified regulations.
1t appears that the system is every bit as
good it sounds
What it amounts to is that most Alaskans can
obtain more less permanent travel permit
small wallet-szed card which is easy to carry, and
which will serve the necessary permit for travelling
outside and in again.
For those who already have obtained permit to
travel all that needed to obtain OF the cards is
to fill out forms at any travel control office,
present picture which will be affixed to the card.
A person holding such card will be able to
travel after just about the in the past by
showing the card upon boarding vessel for the
States and may also re-enter Alaska on the same
card.
The card is similar to the Coast Guard identfica-
ton cards which issued during the first months
of the war.
Previously, persons who had not been residents OF
Alaska before Pearl Harbor could not obtain round
trip permit to travel This meant that days would be
spent in Seattle in securing permit to go back

SHOE FIGHT

A hot fight is raging backstage
between the WPB and the OPA
over shoe leather. Inside fact Is
that the shoes you are wearing are
inferior not entirely because the
best leather is rightfully being al
located to the armed forces. That
is only part of the story.
Another reason why your shoes
are inferior and your shoe bill
higher is that certain industry mo-
guls in WIPES leather and shoe
branch have been blocking a pro-
gram to prolong the wear OF civilian
shoes by the application of wax and
oil treatments to soles. The pro-
cess costs only 2 OF cents a shoe.
but many manufacturers don't like
it because it isn't flosSy enough.
They say that consumers prefer
shoes with high. light polish on
the sole, though they admit that
this polish robs the sole OF some Of
its wearing quality.
Bureau of Standards experts have
testified at hearings OF the Senate
war mobilization committee, head
ed by West Virginia's Senator Har-
ley Kilgore, that the use of oil lby
actual testo prolongs the life of
shoes IA percent, while soles treated
with wax preparations last from 80
to Al percent longer
This has been corroborated by
leading industry spokesman, in
Guiding Paul c. Wolfer, vice presi-
dent of the Douglas Shoe Company
who is consultant in the stand
ards division of the OPA. Wolfer
not only urged general adoption OF
oil-wax treatments but intimated
that the Government should crack
down on the shoe industry and re-

quire it.
In addition to cutting down the
nations shoe bill, another factor
Wolfer emphasized was wartime
conservation of leather So far,
however, the OPA has made little
progress in selling the oil-treatment
idea to the WPB. Some manufac-
turers have adopted the sole treat
ments voluntarily, but only on a
very limited scale.
The big shoe companies OPA
claims, are antagonistic. In this,
they have the potent backing of the
WPB's leather and shoe branch,
headed by Lawrence B. Sheppard, a
vice president of the Hanover Shoe
Company.
Before the Kilgore committee,
Sheppard expounded at length on
manufacturing difficulties
lack of conclusive tests and other
objections to government order
