Little action on labor legislation

But | am very much interested in
why they have been going up and

labor difficulties and shortages OF
material make the profit-picture for

There seems to be only one an

Administration. is still fighting in
flation for all he is worth. but the
bankers have evidently decided to
place their bets on his attackers.
Here are some of the more obvious
reasons:
% They have evidently in
terpreted President Truman's
necent speech on wages and
prices as indicating that he will
not be nearly as adamant az
Mr.. BowIes has been in refus-
ing TO permit price increases.
(2) They think that Isbor's
lnslstence on higher wages will
force price increases as a nee
essary requirement for meeting
those higher wages.
(3) They realize that the
pent-up buying power In our

gradually force its way through

what oPA does about prices,

body wants begins to become
available, people will 90 dollar

The financiers may have a lot
OF other good reasons for anticipat-
Ing initiation. Those are simply ones
that a greenhorn can see. But In
spite OF the sharp trend toward in
flation. and in spite OF the bets
OF the brokers, am still optimistic
enough TO think that initiation could
still be stayed off II the people
would recognize the danger and
act to prevent IL.
SPREE temptation
To prevent initiation the pub
lie will have to 90 on buying
strike Instead Of buying
spree.

automobiles which are on dis
play do not have any price tags
on them, as is also the case
with a good number Of other
items on the consumers high"

parently. wants TO start buying
these items now-to get in line

In the most interesting press con
ference which Clinton Anderson
has held since he became secretary
OF agriculture. he revealed that
meat rationing will probably be all
over by the end OF the year. that
our civilian food supply will here
after be much better than even
in prewar years.
Mr.. Anderson also released
figures on our program for
helping hungry Europe during
the rest OF the year. He said
that our exports OF food 10 the
United Kingdom, liberated
countries In Europe and French
North Africa would be in
creased by about so per cent
during the last quarter Of the
year.
Pointing out the enormity OF our
food supply. the secretary indicat-
ed that our shipments 10 other
countries could be still greater.

only thing which is preventing

WASHINGTON, Feb. IA. -U.D-
The Ommaney Bay, 10,000-ton es-
cort carrier sunk enroute to Lu-
zon, went down with a remark
ably small loss of life-fewer than
100 casualties, the skipper, Capt.
Howard L. Young, revealed today.
She carried a normal crew OF
about 500. The ship and its swarm
of death-dealing planes, all OF
which were lost, went to the bot
tom after playing a gallant role
in the Philippine invasion.
Young described to press con-
ference the dramatic rescue OF
severely wounded men who were
strapped to cots rugged with life
preserves, lowered over the sides
of the burning ship and floated In
the sea until picked up by other
ships.
He disclosed that the Omaney
Bay had to be sunk by torpedoes
from American ships after it was
set afire by two bomb hits from
Japanese plane. The hits set fire
to the flight and hangar decks and
fires severed all communication
between the front and rear of the
ship, also burning all life RATS.
During the abandonment Of the
ship, explosions were constant and
the men were endangered by ex-
ploding ammunition in the guns OF
the planes. Since no planes were
off the ship al the time, all were
lost.
Young said the convoy, of which
the Omaney Bay was a part, con-
tinued on toward Lingayen Cult
and that all the ships survivors,
including the wounded, had to 60
through the Lingayen Battle and
were under fire many times. Some
manned guns on other ships and
some were killed in fighting around
the Gulf.
He said that after the Ommaney
Bay was hit someone ordered the
badly wounded strapped in cots.
