Mir. Petrillo Again

The fine hand of James Caesar Petrio is recognizable in comunique sent by the American Federation of Nus cians of which he is president to Dr. Joseph E. Maddy head of the National Music Camp Interochen Mich The ATM has ordered Dr. Maddy show why he should not be expelled from the unon grounds that his camps activities are detrimental to the unions welfare.
 As in all cases where the ATM president throws his weight around, money is Mir. Petrlo-not of sympathy with him. but because of incuraby cautious habit of betting consistent winner The trouble start ed three ago. when Mr. Petro protested against
 series of concerts by student orchestra which of the networks broadcasting from Dr. Maddys camp. The players unpaid teen-age amateurs No admission charged to their broadcasts which unsponsored
 Yet Mr. Petrlo ordered the network the broad casts else hire symphony orchestra of standn nopayng musicians and pay them union So there nothing to do but take these young ambitious, o lending youngsters off the air. Eventually Mchigans Senator Vandenberg introduced bill which enjoned the educational institutions. Whereupon Mr. Petrlo retaated by putting the Inerlochen camp the unions unfair list
 This unusual maneuver took the ATM into the field of music instruction where it had tried exercise tro before The nterlochen camp is affiliated with the Uni versty of Michigan It provides instruction for young scans who in past years have forth into the profes sion to swell the ranks of the AFMs paying member ship.
 The camp also used to provide teaching jobs for ATM members, many of them symphony orchestra players glad for oseason work in the months But after the camp put the unfair list last year. Dr. Maddy carried with nonunion faculty. That's what Mr. Pe trillo is complaining about now, apparently.
 The ATM has made organized attempt to unionize the understanding profession to interfere with other music schools with student orchestras-though of them, too, have made network broadcass Mo- this be Mr. Petrlos personal affair." growing out of one the occasions when he has been momenay warted

addition, the local branch'S Dis aSter Committee provided cots and clanketS for the temporary morgue and it's members worked all night, assisting in identifying bodies, while nurses aides were supplied to St. Francis hospital where many of the victims were taken.
 This should be remembered next spring when the Red Cross seeks to raise money locally as a part of the national campaign of financing its work throughout the world.
 After it's own experience, Hart ford is one of the last communi- ties on earth which ought to with hold it's full support to the Red Cross for any reasons whatever, and particularly no account of any diff ference of opinion arising over the method employed for raising money
 Hartford would be ungracious aid grateful indeed if it's contribution does not set an example for the rest of the country and express its appreciation of what has been done for it, which has been possible only through generous support of the Red Cross everywhere.

patterns are familiar to officers who take the mental attitudes of their troops seriously
 A soldiers first discovery may be that the Ger
 mans have higher standard of cleanliness and more inside plumbing than in most other European coun- tries. That's like home. Here is first bond.
 Then the former Nazi-indoctrinated people may start comparing notes with non-Jewish Americans. They discover many views and prejudices. German women play on the sympathes of southern CTS by pleading for protection from Negro troops. And so on.
 But here is curious sidelight. Army opinion samplers who have studied all these things report that American troops can be mentally seduced in this fashion, enjoying all the forbidden fruits of fraternization and still believe that the German people are guilty as hell fully deserving hard and long national punishment
 It is on that foundation that morale officers can build their case They are perfectly conscious of the responsibility they have in preventing mental seduc tion of the forces of occupation
 There is big organization in the European thea ter to carry out this program. They combat mental seduction through every available medium. Army Talks weekly feature magazine printed in Paris iS distributed the basis of one copy to every 10 Each issue covers half dozen current soldiers problems Short documentary films aim to show Ger history 1t really is U S. radio forum discus sions are put on records and rebroadcast over the Army network. Stars and Stripes, Tank and Army News Service stories and editorials beat the drums against being suckers for the Nazi party line There are weekly news-maps for bulletin board presenta- tions of what goes Discussion groups are encour- aged and there is weekly guide of subject matter for discussion group leaders.
 Not all successful, of course Sometimes the arguments in discussion groups get hot and backfire All that be done is expose the troops to the rect information. Then it's up to the individual to absorb or reject the ideas presented That's democ- racy.

Not Out of This World

Stories of clashes between American troops French civilians at Le Havre and criticisms of troop handling in big authorization port have resulted in the imposition of Army censorship in that area, according to New York Herald Tribune correspondent in France.
 The American port area commander reported to have restricted correspondents freedom of in his mand and to have ordered that all newspapemen be panied by public relations officers and their stories submitted for official review. The given is Embarrassment that previous stories have caused.
 It hard for officers to realize that the war has ended and with it the necessary and autocrac authority that they enjoyed hard for them realize that rules of military security longer obtain and that embarrassment is not sufficient to ban the hampered coverage of news events.
 In short is hard for officers to remember that they aren't living in world apart and that military author ty is confined to military matters It may be hoped that their superors will get in touch with such of these o Beers exist, and set them right.

ACTUAL. FACTUAL LIMITATIONS
(Bridgeport Post)

(BrldgepOrt POSO
 The travel warnings are still in some time to come. The armed services are busily engaged in mov- ing men from all parts of the world to this country, and even after they have been landed on these shores, the task of getting them to tt.eir homes is only partially ac- complished. There remains the added difficulty of securing ac- commodations for men who must travel to homes or demobilizatlon centers or both.
 But as if the transporting of sol diers, sailors and airmen were not enough. there is the further task imposed on the carriers, of bring ing to successful achievement the reunion plans Of many families. Here in this country with the war over, people have become deter mined that the present holiday season will be the most successful, the most satisfactory. the most joy ful in the nations history. There is feeling, whether wrong or right, that with the war over, nothing matters save the continuation of family hopes and prayers.
 This attitude, of course, compli- cates the travel problem, and makes it increasingly difficult to establish rights and preferences. People TO longer feel that patriotism requires them to stay off trains and busses, since the war has already been won.
 Nevertheless, there is real need for cooperative spirit. There is real need for a reduction in civilian travel, so that the requirements of the armed forces and of servicemen lnd service women can be met. The limitations of transportation services are actual and factual.

WAGES AND PRICES
(New York Times

(New York Times
 Despite reiterated announcements that the 1942 price line was being held, OPA has been permitting a large number of increases in the prices of manufactured goods. Among these increases in recent weeks have been furniture 6 to 20 per cent, vacuum cleaners 6 per cent, low price textiles 15 per cent, watches 77 per cent, window glass 4 per cent and varying percentages for radio parts, steel castings, toys, machinery and a number of other products.
 In most instances the agency has insisted that the increase at the manufacturers level shall be ab- Sorbed by distributors in order to maintain the 1942 price line. Thus, these many increases have been obscured from the consuming pub lie, although they have been pain fully evident 10 various distribu- tors
 These price increases have been before any wage adjustments. Since OPA in each instance has permit ted only the minimum increase al- lowed by law, it follows that new increases in costs will cause great pressure for further price crises. Similarly, many companies whose prices have not been increased will not be able to absorb further wage increases.
 Statements are frequently made that large wage increases are pos sible without price increases. Ger tainly, this statement is not true for industries which already have received price increases. The in- creases granted are evidence that previous prices failed to yield these industries adequate profit margins as compared with the pre-war per iod. In many instances the sharp decline in volume of business since the end of the war had wiped away good part of wartime profits, as reports from the steel, railroad and other industries have already indi- cated. Certainly, therefore, the ef- feet of further wage increases upon prices needs much more careful examination than it appears to have been given to date.
