Davis Thinks U. S. Should
Control Wage Drop
When Situation Relaxes

WASHINGTON, March 7 III
President Roosevelt today made
William II. Davis his chief deputy
in the war against initiation and
he assigned to George w. Taylor
the wage front Davis had headed
nearly four years.
On a title basis, the 65-year old
Davis, a patent lawyer by profess
sion, a physicist by hobby and a
labor mediator by practice, be-
comes Economic Sterilization Di-
rector. He succeeds Fred Vinson,
new Federal loan chief.
Taylor, 43-year-old professor of
industry at the University of Penn
sylvania and likewise an old hand
at trouble shooting in labor dis
putes, gets Davis old job as chair
man of the War Labor Board. He
has been vice chairman.
Both are in hot spots, no strange
experience for either.
Davis promptly made clear that
he thinks the Government should
control wage decreases when man
power shortages are no more, just
as it now controls wage increases
in a labor-hungry market.
And. he told the Senate Banking
Committee in discussion Of con-
tinued wage controls, those regu-
lations thus far have allowed main
tenance of "the standard of living
of the working man."
Generally. he expressed his phil
osophy on the link between wages
and living costs thus: ut doesn't
do any good to increase dollar
wages if prices also go up"
What is important, Davis said,
is the "+take-home groceries,
Great pressure faces both Davis
and Taylor, brought by the CLIO
and ALL, to relax wage controls.
Labor spokesman say these con-
trolls, as exemplified by the Taylor
written and Davis-endorsed Little
Steel wage formula, are grossly
unfair.

a salary set by the authority
Principal office of the authority
would be located at place select
ed by the group itself.
Under terms of the proposed bill
the authority and its work would
be self-supporting, initial funds to
come from self-liquidating revenue
bonds in which the State could, in
it's discretion, invest surplus funds.
The authority would be charged
with the duty of expanding present
port facilities, particularly those
at Wilmington, Morehead City, and
Southport, and develop others yet
to be projected. It also would have
the power to construct railroads
and highways leading to principal

End Of Nazi Resistance
Held Ringing On Rhine

more than 30 or 80 divisions on that
stretch of the Rhine which the
Allies already have reached-o~
are nearing-betWeen Coblenz and
the Rhine's junction with the Mas.
These divisions, many of them at
one-fourth to one-half normal di-
visional strength of $1,000, prob
ably would not represent more than
200, 900 men. Many of the divisions
likely have been stitched together
from the remnants of units badly
mauled west of t he Rhine and
therefore relatively ineffective.
Such a force is too impotent, in
the belief of military authorities,
to mount any sizeable counter-blow
against Allied armies that cross the
Rhine.

Housing Project
Shows Profit,
100 Units Asked

A profit of more than $4,000 in
the last nine months at Palm
Courts, federal housing project on
Fourth street, Ell Centro, was re-
ported Wednesday night by Secre-
tary-Manager E. A. Nance to men,
bers CT the Ell Centre housing COM
mission.
Commission members declared
that the Ell Centro project is one of
the few in the nation to show a
healthy and consistent profit. In
fact, it is practically alone on the
list of prcfit-showing housing prof.
ects.
At the meeting Wednesday night
the commission passed an unani-
nous resolution asking the national
housing authority to add 100 units
to the Palm Courts project so that
food process ors may be housed
there. With the SO units now under
construction at the Palm Courts
site, commission members said, the
facilities will be brought to 1870
units.
: In their resolution the housing
commission pointed out that the de-
mand for housing accommodations
for processed food workers has be-
come acute ard requests to house
them at Palm Courts are numerous.
They also pointed out that available
accommodations in all parts of the
county, and especially in Ell Centre,

Draft Board Says State
Office ExertS Pressure

Technically, land actually will be
left idle in very few instances.
Somebody can be found to operate
almost any tract, although this will
cause many acute dislocations.
SEES HARDSHIP
There undoubtedly will be con-
siderable hardship placed on farm
operation. We see no way out of it
inasmuch as we are compelled TO
follow the strict regulations laid
down in order to obtain the much
needed, younger manpower for the
services"
How heavy the demands for men
will be, draft boards could not say.
I'VE do not know until the actual
calls come in," it was said.
The Ell Centre board sent out
approximately 200 men within the
past two weeks. Part of these were
for pre-induction medicals, it was
stated
1t was expected however, that
the calls will be stepped up next
month, which leaves Imperial county

serious lnanpower problem thus far

Shippers Hail
Northeast Car
Embargo Order

A five-day freight embargo on all
consignments into an area which
normally receives more than go per
cent of the valleys produce was
hailed by growers and shippers tc-
day with mixed emotions.
The embargo, declared by the ODT
from January 25 at midnight to
January %, midnight, forbids con-
signment or reconsignment of cars
of vegetables to an area roughly
described as east of Illinois and
East st. Louis, north of the Ohio
liver and the Potomac, which in
cludeS the eastern middle west
states and New England and At
lantic coastal states. Only govern
ment billing will be permitted to go
into the area.
The embargo, according to G.. j.
Blech, Southern Pacific freight
traffic manager, and Willard Keller,
local manager, will enable the rail-
road to have plenty of cars on hand.
I'VE had sufficient cars, but the
rain and now the embargo, will give
us surplus where we might have
been short" Blech said.
Meanwhile valley shippers who
have been seeking method of VOL

tually the entirety of the 80 per
cent to be called, must come from
the ranks of farm workers.
Draft boards are obviously in
dilemma" Simms stated. Accord
ing to a telegram received Tuesday
by B. A. Harrigan from Congress
man Phillips, selection OF men is
left up to the boards. This techni-i
cally is correct, but the draft boards
are controlled by such orders and
instructions as were received yester-
day from Col. Leitch. Actually, we
have no freedom of choice other
than in very few, borderline cases"
Under the Tydings amendment,
Simms pointed out, no agricultural
land is to be left idle, and no ire
placable man is to be inducted.
TWO JOBS SEEN
This places upon the board the
responsibility of obtaining manpower
on. the one hand, and on the other
hand, choosing only such men as
can be replaced, or whose departure
will leave acreages unattended.
Draft boards are therefore fore
ed into the necessity Of making
stringent decisions" SIpins said.
