to its embassies in Washington and London warning them to be on the lookout for an important an- nouncement dealing with the Winds" which would be broadcast a news program from Tokyo
 This was to be the tip-off to Jap diplomats as to whether Japan would go to war against the united States Great Britain, Russia-or all three. It was also to reveal whether would be made against the Dutch Tn addition the approximate time of the breaking of relations with these nations was to be given.
 This communication was known the winds alert" message.
 It was intercepted and decoded two days later by U. S. experts according to the secret Pearl Harbor report. Thus Washington hgher-ups knew on Nov 22 about two weeks before the Pearl Harbor attack that the Japs definitely preparing for early war
 That same day-Nov. 20-another message was sent by Tokyo to Japanese Ambassador Nomura In Washington stating that Nov. 29 was the absolute deadline" for Nomura to reach an agreement with the United States.
 After that, things are going to happen" Tokyo bluntly informed the Jap ambassador The message was decoded by U S. experts that day, 50 Washington knew about it immediately.
 On Nov. 28 another communication, known as the Winds Code" message, arrived at the Jap em- bassy, informing Admr. Nomura and his aides in Washington that the war tip-off mentioned in the first Winds message would come soon.
 If the phrase East Wind Rain" were broadcast on the news program from Tokyo it would mean that with the United States would come at any moment.
 If the phrase West Wind Clear" were broadcast it would mean that war between Japan and Great Britain would come at any moment:
 War with Russia was to be Slgnaled py the words North Wind Cloudy A similar message referring to winds, also included in the coded communication to of Jap attack on the Dutch East Indies.
 On Dec f. 1941 three days before Pearl Harbor the awaited announcement came on the daily Tokyo broadcast. It was heard in Hawaii at o'clock in the afternoon. The key words, signaling war against the United States the British and the Dutch-all three were broadcast
 Russia wasn't mentioned indicating that Japan had abandoned all notion of war against Russia 1f she ever seriously had any
 About the time Tokyo instructed it's em- bassy in Washington to destroy all its code equipment except the barest essentials necessary to receive one or two messages and then to destroy the re- maning essentials once those messages had been re- ceived.
 Tn the opinion of those questioned by the Pearl Harbor Board, this meant certain It meant that Japan had decided to cut off all communica- ton with the United States.
 This development, together with the final Winds" broadcast, touched of a fresh frenzy of activity in the high-up Army-Navy councils. How

Management Sit-DOWn By Peter Edson

He says however that the shortSightednesS of this handful of employers with antquated labor notions is unquestionably giving bad name to the vast ma jory of employers who recognize that such sit-down is ahead for any employer who believes that organ ized labor be broken and starved into submls- sion and that is the time to do 1t, says Mosher.
 Just plain Selfishness if you want to call 1t that the need for selfpreservaton of their business in this reconversion period of cut-throat compe- tion-is given the real why employer can afford to shut down now.
 Mosher eaborates on his idea in this way: Un- der the American free enterprise system there is not only competition between industries but competition between companies within each industry. The fights busses-between steel and the alloys and new light metas-between all metal producers and the plasticS industry-proVide examples of the former Competition between two railroads. between two arlnes, between two steel companies and on, provide ready examples of the latter
 Recognizing the existence Of this fight for post markets says Mosher, any business or industry that wants to survive cannot now afford to let competitor get ahead With all the pent-up demand there Is for consumer goods today whatever firm gets the market first with radios, autos wash ing machines or what have you, is going to get the lead And whoever gets into quantity production first stands good chance to stay in the lead.
 It follows that any business which keeps going now, even under high operating costs, win gain business advantage that will take years to Conversely any business that thinks it sit down now. to gain reduced labor cost later. is in- Wting loss Of market and failure
 All this, says Mosher, gives the best answer to charges that management is on strike against labor It may be reasoning inspired by selfish motives but that's business and 1t makes sense

wants to dlScreolt labor by forclng IL nto stflkeS The grand strategy is presented letting labor go hungry for a while that wage rates can be forced back to prewar levels The way the labor people spell this out, management can afford to do this-Vlng off the fat of it's profits, reserves and tax refunds until such time labor is forced to come to terms and beg the bosses for work at any wage they care to offer.
 This being a major cause of labor misunder- standing, t called for elariiieaton.
 To get line on all such charges they were put before Ira Mosher president Of the National Mann- lecturers Association The question was not present. ed with any naive idea that Mosher would admit it was true, but merely to see what the answer was straight from the manufacturing employers reeog- ni2ed spokesman,
 Surprisingly enough, the NAM, president does admit that there are few employers who feel that now is a good time to let labor sweat 1t out" for while till things get shaken down Mosher says they are definite minority and not necessarily the big gest corporations, They are individuals and they are not organized into any great national conspiracy He will mention names,

Educational Crisis

The inevitable postwar crisis in American education at hand Tens of thousands of teachers who left the proe for better paying jobs have no inclination to re- turn And blame them The average rural teach ers salary according to the National Education ASsocla to is $959 year. In urban schools the average pay $l955 Consequently there is acute shortage of compe tent teachers especially in rural areas.
 More than third of the countrys 100000 teachers are new to jobs 900 teaching emergen cy certificates In 175000 one-to-threeeacher rural throughout the country 60 per cent of the teachers have had less than two years of college education
 Thus far the states have euded any federal interer- ence" control of their educational systems which might have supplemented existing school salaries Theoretically state control of education has tradition and good sense on it's side But many states take advantage of this to pay what this day. scarcely amounts to subsistence wages.
 Today, better-pad workers with strong organization receiving being promised peaceme pay increases to
 match high living costs Today the United Nations Educa- tonal Organization is sressng the highly important role of better international education factor in fostering peace It is time that the states corrected these Shocking neques in teachers salaries where they eXlst for the of their school children and their interests as we'll as of the teachers themselves.

 The keeper came out of his little cottage to greet the two surprised visitors who had blundered out of the woods upon the old lighthouse. He was clad in corduroy trousers, a faded blue sweater, and weather ed slouch hat. Would you like to see the light?" The question ex- pressed as much a hope as an in Yitation.
 Yes, the visitors would like to see the light. They had heard of the old lens. made before 1900, which had worked it's way westward from lighthouse to lighthouse from the New England coast to this rocky headline on the northern reaches of Lake Michigan.
 Please excuse me just a mo- ment," said the keeper.
 He disappeared into his cottage, reappearing after a minute with his slouch hat exchanged for a clean uniform cap bearing the bright emblem of the Lighthouse Service.
 Thus, with the majesty of the Government of the United States duly represented, the tour of the lighthouse proceeded.

IF DE sEvERsKY IS RIGHT

(New Haven Journal-Courier)
 If Maj Alexander P. de Seyersky is right in his description of the next VT. Americans ought to do more than prepare for the coming conflict. If he is right the recent ruekus was the last war in which postwar planning could be carried on during the conflict,
 If Major de Seyersky Is right, all the postwar planning to be put into execution after the next war ends must be done before the next war starts,
 Major de Seyersky who recently viewed atom bombed Hiroshima on his tour of Japan as a representa- tive Of War Secretary Patterson, said that future war, if it comes, will be but a single giant stroke, That lone knockout punch would destroy at once the foes aifpower, eleetronie defenses and industrial potential, he said

TAKE-HOME PAY
(New York Times)

(NeW Y0rK IlmeS)
 The demand for a 30 per cent in- crease in hourly wage rates has as ite announced objective the main- tenance of wartime take-home pay. In general, there is the implicit as- sumption that the average worker put in AS hours a week during the war and received 52 hours pay An examination of the available statis- tics does not lend support to this assumption. According to the Unit ed States Bureau of Labor Statis- tics, the actual hours worked in manufacturing industries averaged slightly more than 45 hours a week before VIE Day. Tn the durable goods industries the average was somewhat higher, while in the non- durable goods industries it was lower. In the automobile industry, for example, the total averaged less than 45 hours a week in the last year of the war For textile mill products, the peak in Decem- Der, l944, was 428 hours. while it was less than Al hours a week in May of 1945. In the steel industry the average was about AS hours.
 From these data it would appear that the average worker in manu- featuring was putting in about AS hours a week when the war ended, and received for this work, inclusive of overtime, 471s hours in pay-not 52 hours. An increase in wage rates to compensate all workers for a re- duction from AS to 40 hours, there fore, would mean an actual in- crease in take-home pay above the wartime level. To the extent that taxes have been reduced that take home pay will also eXceede the war time level
