WPB HEAD LAUDS LABOR CHIEFS IN
SOLVING PRODUCTION PROBLEMS

Washington, ID. c. (ILNS).-Labor
leaders working on the staff of the
War Production Board throughout the
war did a great service to the nation
in helping to solve critical production
problems, Chairman J. A. Krug Of the
board said as he announced resigna-
tions Of Joseph d. Keenan,, vice chair
man for labor production and Clinton
S. Golden, vice chairman for manpow-
er requirements.
ACTIVE participation of labor in
government proved its worth in ac-
compIishing the tremendous produc-
ton that conquered the Axis" Krug
said in reviewing the wartime
achievements Of the Office of Labor
Production and the Office of Man
power Requirements.
Chairman Krug said that labor
participation in WPB's work helped
local unions to understand WPB
policies and "their understanding
served to enlist their active coopera-
tion in attaining the objectives."

Truce Called In
Transit Strike

Washington (FP). - Settlement of
Washington's 34-hour street car and
bus strike came Nov. 7 when 2H
thousand workers returned to work
under 14-day truce.
Moved by a plea from President
Truman and the threat that the gov
ernment would take over operation of
the Capital Transit Co., the Amalga-
mated Association of Street Electric
Railway & Motor Coach Employees
(AFL) voted to stop the strike and
submit their dispute to negotiation
committee.
Conditions under which the strikers
returned to work were that CD status
quo when the strike started to be re-
stored, (2) all employees to return to
work without discipline against any
Individual or against the union, and
60 negotiations to commence Nov. 8
on disputed issues and to continue for
ID days with assistance of the U. S.
Cancellation Service.
Meanwhile in the House, Rep. Clair
Holman (R Mich.) cooked up his
own private solution for handling the
strike.
Deploring the "irraparable injury"
brought to federal and other workers,
Hoffman offered a bill to authorize
the Capital Transit Co., to employ for
GO days qualified individuals making
application for employment"
Such individuals were to be paid
not more than 500 above the prevail
ing scale, with job preference to be
given ex-servicemen and men now in
government service in the War and
Navy Depts. Gls should receive their
regular pay in addition to the regular
wage scale paid by the company for
like service, the bill provides.
To avoid putting the financial bur-
den on the company, Hoffman suggests
payment be made to them from the
treasury Of the U. S." to cover "any
and all sums necessary to reimburse
it for payments made by it to en-
poyes for service rendered under this
act in an amount equal to the diff
ference between the present wage
scale Of the company and the amount
paid the employe."

Then the AFL touches on German
needs and failure to meet them, under
the present policy, or perhaps it
should be really called lack of policy.
"Todty IS percent of the German
people are unemployed" the fedora
ton says. ''In Berlin, 10 percent of all
occupied houses in the American sec

quate roofing, and conditions are so
crowded that there are on the average
21a persons per room.
"Yet production of lumber and 9TH
er repair materials is not permitted
by the American authorities. German
coal mines are producing to supply the
liberated countries this winter, but
Germans will have no coal to heat
their homes. Their food rations are
far below a bare subsistence mini
mum.
"Under such conditions will it be
surprising if Germans look back with
longing to the days of Hitler when
they had full employment and ade-
quate food rations ? And if they turn

"Have a Seat!"

We're working night and day to say those words
again to our patient patrons. We realize that your
daily Journeys in crowded buses during the long
months of national emergency were uncomfOrt-
able, and temper disturbing. 1t was the same the
nation City dwellers had much in common
with respect to travel dscomforts. Gas rationing,
increased population, shortage of manpower, and
rubber conservation restrictions brought an added
burden to our shoulders. But pulled through,
though il was far from pleasant for us in the
transportation business not to be able to give our
patrons the service they deserved.
Soon you can take it easy and revel in the
assurance that comfort is at hand-that riding
luxury is available to take you places: to the shop
ping centers, amusement parks theaters to your
job your home, or wherever you may want to go.
Yes the Valley Motor Transit Company is
anxious to say those magic words again, Have
Seat" and we shall be doing that for it is our
aim to give this city the finest swiftest, and safest
transit system in the world

We had better be thinking vigor-
ously and intelligently about the
United Nations Organization. And la
Dor, for it's part, could well lead that
thinking. 1t could start thinking out
loud.
It's Legislative agents could put the
bee on Congressman who run off at
the mouth with warlike drool, in words
that flow from springs of prejudice
or hate, or both.
We don't have to disband our armies
and navy, nor should we, for there is a
lot of police work yet to be done and
even the United Nations may need
their help.
But we can and must stop talking
as if we already intended to use those
tremendous forces in a war for which
the plans are on the boards.-CMW.

Wage ADJUSTMENTS
Should Be Made
Individually

Washington (FP). President
Harry S. Truman explained to a press
conference Oct. 81 why he had failed
to set specific percentage recon-
mendation for pay increases in his
wageprice address Oct. 80.
He said any wage increase must be
determined in the individual case
through collective bargaining. An
overall rate, he felt, would be imprac-
tical.- He also stressed the importance
of maintaining collective bargaining
for this purpose.
The only reference the President
made to the amount of increase was in
an executive order accompanying his
speech stating that increases could be
granted "where the percentage in
average straight time hourly earnings
since January 1941 has not equaled
the percentage increase in the cost
of living between January 1941 and
September 1945."
Since the Little Steel formula limit
ed pay raises during the war to 1870
and figures of the Bureau of Labor
Statistics indicate a cost of living rise
of 1920 during the same period, in
creases of ITO could be permitted un-
, der these terms.
Labor, however, estimates a 45.7%
rise in living costs during the war and
bases the demand for 30a6 pay raise
on the differential between the Little
Steel formula and the increased cost
of living.

S21 Weekly Wage Floor
For n. Y. Retail Trade

New York City.-An order for a
S21-a-week basic minimum wage for
retail trade employees in New York
State was signed here by Industrial
Commissioner Edward Corsi, who said
it would mean pay rises of S6,0O0,000
a year for 10000 workers.
The order followed public hearings
in New York and four other cities, in
which some employees complained
the new rates would be excessive and
result in lay-offs, while labor repre-
sentatives contended they did not go
far enough.

THE CHERRY TREE

1t would be nice if we, as a people.
could grow up rather rapidly.
That is, it would be nice if we could
use more mature judgment, as a peo-
pie.
Some yap says to his neighbor,
swell, we'll have to fight Russia next"
That's the way "opinion" is built,
quite often.
How often does a person, so ap-
preached, come back with, Just why
will we have to fight Russia, next or
any other time ?"
Not often enough.
But, suppose person, so approach
ed, should say that. The answer might
be, swell, it seems we can't get along
with Russia"
The persistent one might come back
with, "Just why can't we get along
with Russia" And he probably would
be told, II don't know, but that's what
they say"
There are points upon which U. S.
and soviet foreign policy differ, of
course. We differ also with England
and we may be differing with China
one day. Also, we differ with France.
We have had two wars with Eng
land and we had to tell France to get
the hell out of Mexico We haven't
had any war with Russia, although
we've had arguments and bitter criti-
cisms, under both the Cars and the
soviets.
But just becaues we differ on some
things with Russia, with England,
with France, doesn't mean that we
have to have war, or even expect war.
These and other nations have set up
the United Nations Organization, so
that wars may be avoided, or crushed
if they start.
If the good intentions and the plan
ming of the nations of the world went
into the foundations and super-struc-
ture of the United Nations Organiza-
tion, then we do not have to have
wars and neither do we have to talk
about having them.
Maybe we just haven't got accus-
toned to having a United Nations Or
ganization yet, and so have little or no
faith in it.
Well, we'd better begin. For here
is something to remember:
The nation that starts war runs
a grave and awesome chance of being
declared an aggressor nation and con-
sequently get pounced upon by all the
other nations i'm the United Nations
Organization.
That goes for the United States, as
we'll as any other nation, whether it be
Britain, France or Nicaragua.
And we are learning that disgust
ed world can deal mighty harshly with
an aggressor nation. 49,
Not even the atomic bomb, in it's
present state, would save us from
that, if we got crazy enough to talk
ourselves into starting another war.
Before this wars shooting stopped,
everyone agreed that "there must
never be another war"
But the treaties have not even been
signed and the mourning isn't over,
before fools start talking about what
nation or nations we may have to
fight next. And so many of them say
"may", in such a manner as to indicate
that they are practically sure of it.

This column last week discussed
American Federation of Labor crlti-
cism of the Allied occupation policy
in Germany. There was not space to
touch on another serious problem
pointed out by the AFL-the matter
of German industrial production.
German industries are vital to all
of Western Europe, the AFL empha-
sized. What is being done to get them
into operation, so France and other
nations can benefit? Here is what the
federation says, in its monthly eco
nomic survey:
"America, Britain and France are
responsible for the economic rehabili-
tation of Western Europe. Without
this there could be no democracy there
and no lasting peace. Germany has
been Europe's economic hub. What
happens to Germany's key industries
determines the economic fate of the
continent, west of Russia. Without the
flow of industrial products from Ger
many, in exchange for raw materials
and farm products from other coun-
tries, Europe's economic life Will
break down."
Yet today this flow of goods is
damned up, with German industry
held down to about 10 percent OF nor
NAL production, the federation de-
clares.
"No decision" it says, "has yet been
made as to which German industries
have war potential so all plants are
closed except those which supply mini
mum essentials for living and for the
occupying forces. The loss of this
production affects the whole OF Eu-
rope.
at also affects our chances Of re-
building democracy in Germany. The
winter is close at hand. Widespread
unemployment, hunger and cold in

Occupational Defernents LiberaliZed

tIc dIIucu lOICtS are TOT men un- der 30 years of age, National Headquarters of Selective Service today announced that local boards are being requested to liberalize occupational deferments so as to reduce the total number of men to be inducted in the 30 through 37 year old geographically those who are fathers-and to re- view cases of registrants in the age group Is through 25 who have heretofore been rejected for gen. eral military service or found qualified for limited service only, and forward for re-examination those whom they have reason to believe may qualify for military service.
 The five main points covered in the local board memorandum are:
 1. Need of the armed forces for young men.
 2. Review by local boards of cases of IV-F and limited service registrants 18 through 25, and for warding for re-examination those who there is reason to believe may now be qualified for military service.
 3. Liberalization of deferment policies for men over 30, especial ly for those who are engaged in work useful to the community.
 4. The fact that cutbacks in war plants will make older men avail able for war production jobs, thereby enabling the release of younger men now exceptionally deferred for military service; and also that discharged veterans will be available in increasing num- bers to rpelace the younger men now holding occupational defer ments, and
 5. The 42A Special Revised procedure will remain in full eff feet pending receipt of more accu- rate information concerning the urgency of certain war production programs and services.
 "The armed forces have again stated that there is need for young men, preferably below 30 years of age," states the memorandum an- nouncing that revised require ments provide that to be eligible for occupational deferment a reg istrant 30 through 33, as we'll as a registrant 34 through 37, need merely be regularly engaged in an activity in support of the na- tional health, safety, and interest or useful to the community, or in an activity in war production or in an agricultural occupation or endeavor essential to the war eff { fort" It was previously required

BEAUTY HINTS
By NINA TEMPLE

Night Time Is Beauty Time
It is at night time that one
must be on guard to protect, to
keep, to augment beauty. For it
is then, while we are sleeping
that times ungentle fingers
make their little marks, even
roadways, upon our defenceless
faces. Let us be wary, let us
forestaIl this arch enemy. We
may do this best by preparing
the face for the night hours. Be
sure to clean it we'll, then cold
cream it and even massage it
with some good nutritive skin
food If the face is beginning to
sag, Just take off your stocking
(if you hav enothing else) and
tie the face up. Presto, in the
n orning you will smile.
Wise Sayings
Faults are human traits-no
one is faultless.
Let us practice kindness; it is
so measureless in its profits and
so sure.
Go to sleep with a beautiful
thought on your pillow.
