Glamorous Event
| In its very gayesr plumage

Thursday evening for the dinner
given by the Woman's National
democratic club in honor OF our
country's First Lady, Mrs. Harry
S. Truman. There was all the daz-
cling brilliance of prewar party,
with orchids riding high on all
shoulders, sparkling jems and
high nair-dos. There were white

ton several years ago, to serve
as assistant chairman of the DEM
ocratic Committee and to head the
women's division. Behind her soft
southern accent, there is a force
of presentation combined with an
excellent command Of language
that makes her outstanding in any
political debate. There is an as
surance-a confidence about all
Mrs. Tillet says that makes one
alert to all she has to say.

CIO Crificizes
OPA Policies

WASHINGTON, May 18th -
GPA) - Sharp criticism OF
OPA's announced plans for
pricing reconversion products
was voiced by the CLOS Cost of
Living Committee this week.
''In case of doubt, raise pric-
es," was the CIO summary of
the OPA's plan for setting prices
on such goods as refrigerators,
washing machines, automobiles,
and other products which will
return to the stores in the
months ahead.
Singled out are two OPA
statements: "(1) OPA does not
know what changes in costs have
occurred since 1941, and (2) 1t
proposes to increase ceiling prl-
ces to allow for increased costs.
Since facts about costs cannot
be ascertained for some time,
OPA has announced that it will
raise prices by statistical for
mula. Manufacturers, the ClO
asserts, will not be required to
prove their costs have risen to
get price increases.

A fight had been expected
over Truman's nomination, since
Lilienthal is opposed by power
full Southern Senators, including
the president of the Senate, Ken

However, Truman persuaded the
Senators to let the nomination

open meeting called by the N. Y.
State Labor Dept. into an up
roar last week when he charged
that it was the shady and

ed the abolition of homework
in the state.
Tuvim asserted that wages as
low as seven and IL cents an
hour were paid homeworkers
by chiseling employers who thus
undermined the standards of or
ganized workers and of employ
ers paying decent wages.
Some time ago, the U. S. Su-

homework under the Fair Labor
Standards Act. This decision ap-
plies to homework moving in in

Textile Workers
Needed Says
WPB

ASHIN TON, D. c.
Thousands of u. S. textile
mills have been place d in
the same urgency manpower
bnad" as plants turning out
tanks, aircraft and bombs, the
War Production Board an
nounced last week. WPB an
nounced that large segments
of the textile industry have been
up-rated to the third production
urgency manpower band, plac-
ing production of textiles in the
same band as tanks, aircraft and
bombs"
Prior to this WPB action the
textile industry generally has
been in band five or lower. In
making the announcement K.
w. Mariner, director of WPB's
Textile Bureau, said, "Our i'm
mediate goal is to boost produc-
ton by at least 1870 in wool and
cotton and TO IN rayon. This
will bring production back to
its peak period of two years
ago."
Discussing the necessity for
such a production drive in the
textile field, MARINER explained
the military requirements in
cotton and woolen for a one
front war will still remain high
and in all probability exceed
those of the two-front war.
Textile workers, who have
protested through their unions,
that their craft has been serious
ly underpayed, turn out cotton
duck for tents, ship tarpaulins,
protective covering and many
other war necessities.
