 Senator Vandenberg suggested that Mr. Schwellenbach preside over such a meeting.
 Responsible manage m t knows that free collective bargain ing is here to stay and that pro- gressive law must continue to SUD- port it and that it must be whole heartedly accepted" MT. Vanden- berg wrote the Cabinet officer.
 Responsible labor leadership knows that irresponsible strikes and subversive attacks upon es- sential production are the gravest threats to the permanent success of labor'S bill of rights.
 American Government knows that social statutes are futile ex- cept as they largely stem from mutual wisdom and mutual con- sent. Therefore, still thinking of applying the San Francisco prece- dent to our own domestic problem, I am moved to inquire whether you would not believe it possible to as- semble a united industrial peace conference of our own under your able chairmanShip in which all these interests may assemble and frankly face for their mutual ad- vancement in the desperately un- certain times that lie ahead"
 MT. Vandenberg contended that industrial peace cannot be die tated by summary legislation" But ti can be written into law, he said, "by the common recommendation of all concerned if they can meet together, under proper auspices. to face a challenge which cannot long go unanswered"

 Wages should be raised all along the line, too, and that can be done. he insisted, without boosting prices.
 Prices Outpace Wages
 During the war, he declared, prices have advanced far faster than wages, giving industry 'rec- ord-breaking" profits. Furthermore, as working hours are cut, overtime pay at time and one-half rates will disappear, saving billions for em- ployers, he said.
 On top of that industry will en- joy the benefit of greatly increased labor productivity, plus generous tax refunds provided by Congress. All these factors, the Utah Sena- tor maintained, should make it pos- sible for employers to pay higher wages and still keep down prices.

How Would You Like To Be Grade Labeled

Among the wars interesting by- products is the news that Army set the mental age of the 1945 G. I. at IA years, whereas that of the 1917-1918 soldier was estimated at 12 years. At first glance, it would seem that our wars are fought by the mentally defi- cient, but the first glance doesn't tell the story. The tests by which the age levels were determined turned on the ability to perform simple stunts" an ability which does not increase after the age of IA or 15 years. So the information is as useless as are some other at- tempts to rate people and commod- ities by an A-B-C grading based on arbitrarily selected qualities.
 People and goods cannot be judged by such standards. An in- fantry commander selects his Sub- ordinates, not because they can do the simple stunts of psychologi- cal experiment, but on their ability to do a complicated job. And, sim ilarly, woman shopping for a can of peas knows from experience the identifiable brands which guaran- tee that the product will do the complicated job of satisfying her family's taste. An "A', "B' or "C" grade on the label may indicate that the product has passed certain tests, but essentially they are stunt" tests. These tests do not even pre- tend to prove, for example, either excellence of flavor or nutritional values. Furthermore, such grades" can give no assurance that two cans though they both might bear Grade "A' labels, will be alike even in the tested qualities, much less in flavor or food value.
 People and merchandise must be judged by their whole character and performance. When a manu- facturer sends product to market, branded with his name and trade mark, he gives his customers the assurance of sustained qualities. His works can be identified. If they fail to please the public, the brand identity safeguards the buyer against a repeated mistake. If his product satisfies the customer, the brand name assures that manu- facturer a steady and growing pat ronage In either case, the public interest is protected

Vandenberg Proposes Conference of Leaders Of Labor, Management And Government

Washington (P-Senator Wand enberg (Rep, Mich proposed g conference of top spokesman for labor, management and govern ment to seek industrial peace.
 MT. Vandenberg submitted his plan in a letter to Secretary of Labor Schwellenbach, who en- dorsed 1t in a prompt reply.
 The Senator suggested that lead CTS of each branch of the nations economy copy the example set at San Francisco when 50 nations frankly faced" their problems in a triumph of the council table" :" Senator Vandenberg was delegate to the San Francisco Conference, which drafted the recently-ratified United Nations Charter.

Sponsor Bill To
 Increase JObless Pay

Washington, D. C.-Six Senators introduced bill, endorsed by the American Federation of Labor, designed to carry out President Truman's recommendation for more adequate unemployment com pensation during reconversion.
 While Congress rushed enact ment of a reconverSion measure which will give big corporations tax relief to the tune of five bil- lion dollars SO they will have ready cash for recouversion, the new bill to meet human needs during the same period is destined to go over until Congress comes back to work in October. When the House of Representative recessed until fall, action on the unemployment com pensation was necessarily post poned.
 Senator Kilgore, of West Virginia, said he was joined in sponsoring the new measure by Senators Wag- ner, Murray, Guffey, Thomas (of Utah) and Pepper.
 Commenting on the bill, AFL President William Green said it will meet emergency needs and therefore should be enacted but he pointed out that it does not provide the long g-term basic improvements in social security which "are so sorely needed" and which are .in- cluded in the Wagner-Murray- Dingell bill.
 The emergency measure provides that the federal government shall supplement state funds so that per- sons now earning $50 a week or more may get maximum of $25 week for tWenty-six weeks in any one year when unemployed. Those earning less than $50 a week would get lower compensation.

Thomas appeal is particularly significant because he previously headed the Senate Committee on Labor and in that capacity gained a deep insight into the problems of the home front. He is one of the most influential members of the upper chamber.
 The Utah Senator stressed that ''the key to full production and em- ployment is a high and sustained level of consumer purchasing pow err If there are to be jobs for all, take-home pay of workers will have to be far above pre-war levels, he declared.
 ''Yet, the mounting cutbacks in war orders and layoffs among war workers have already set in motion deflationary forces which, unless promptly checked, will render im- possible of fulfillment our hopes for postwar prosperity and full em- ployment," he warned.
 Unemployment, he said, has OOuUlCQ SlIICC JuIIG H. WOLhClS nave been forced into lowerpaying jobs; man-hours worked In factories have been dropping by 15,OO0,0O0 a month, and wage rates are leveling down.
 Signs Are OminOus
 Thus the signs are unmistakable that our economy is starting to head downhill,' he pointed out. ''This trend will not be automati- cally reversed. It is incumbent up- ou the government to take mea- sures to forestall defationary spiral"
 As particularly important step to halt the decline, he urged prompt enactment of bill recently intro duced in the Senate, establishing nationwide 65-cent-an-hour

much time for letter writing.
I follow your column very close
ly, and although have not con-
tributed very often to it, l appre-
ciate deeply the interest you show
for the Servicemen and Women.
The war news is very encourag-
ing these days, and perhaps when
another Christmas rolls around we
will be able to see the end of this
war. The sacrifices that all of us
in the Armed Forces. as well as
the folks back home, have made,
and will continue to make, are not
in vain. We all know, that after
this is over, the World will be a
better place for all to live is.
Through your column I will take
this opportunity to say "hello" to
all my friends, and may we meet
again in the near future.
