WAGE FORMULA
WILL CONTINUE

WASHINGTON, May 9-REThe
Little Stee1' wage formula and
all other wartime pay sterilization
policies will be continued indefin-
itely, War Mobilizat ton Director
Vinson said today.
Viason told a news conference
there would be the same en-
phasis on the wage front as on the
price front''-that sterilization still
is necessary despite the arrival Of
We Day. How long this will be
necessary is contingent upon the
speed of return to peacetime con-
ditions, he indicated.
The specific wage control pro-
gram will be announced by George
W. Taylor, war labor board chair
man, and Economic Stabilizer Will
liam H. Davis. Davis already has
outlined his views to newsmen and
Taylor will hold a news conference
tomorrow.
The idea is to permit to en-
ployer and employe to reach agree
ment in regard to wages, in &C
cordance with the sterilization pol
icies now in effect" said Vinson.

1t is quite within the realm oil
possibility that there was a trans.
portation problem in your life yes.
terday morning, and even thi,
morning. There always is a trans.
portation problem hereabouts wher
a lot less snow falls than fell ir
the last two days. But we want you
to know today that your worries
over getting about are nothing com
pared with those whose laborine
hours are not normal-musicians
for instance.
1t was Eddie Whitsel, pianist with
Pete Macias' orchestra at the
Lounge Riviera of Hotel 240O, who
looked glumly out a window up
there in the middle of Tuesday
night and averred that the only
thing he did not like about winter
was the hazard of getting home
from work. His complaint, when he
continued 1t, turned out to be the
sort of thing that easily might make
all musicians class conscious.
Its just another of those things
that makes life tough for musicians, -
Eddie whent on. when you leave
work at 2 o'clock on a morning like
this, driving home is really prob
lem. But nobody's worried about
you. All they're worried about is
getting the streets sanded in time
for the rush hour buses"
Looks like that old vested inter-
est, the Capital Transit Co., is un-
fair to musicians, but we don't know
what can be done about it. The
driver of a stand truck might also
become class conscious if he were
routed out of a warm bed at mid
night with instructions to whip out
and sand the streets in front of
all the after-hour private clubs so
the musicians wouldn't have trouble
parking.
Fretful moments and worrisome
events have taken up a lot of space
in this corner lately and, while this
is only an indication that life really
is that way after dark at this mo-
ment in history, a happy success
note should be welcome. Today the
man who has achieved a goal is
Rodolfo Cornejo, pianist and COM
poser, who has completed those
two operas. The operas, you may
remember, were written at the re-
quest of the Philippine government,
to whom Mr.. Cornejo was under
contract for the chore awhile back
when he appeared at the Neptune
Room.
Mr.. Corneio was getting along
handsomely that time, under a nom
de piano, until a music critic rec
ognized him. The Philippine gov
eminent, which thought Mr.. Cor
nejo was devoting all his time to
its operas, also thought he should
devote all of his time to it's operas.
He was given polite option in the
matter-elther operas or night
clubs, but not both. He chose the
operas, but now that they are done
with, Mr.. Cornejo returns to the
Neptune Rooms grand piano on
January 5.

Lake National Park.
This is the fourth time within
weeks that creditable witnesses
have described seeing a strange
cloud, as of smoke or gas, mount
ing from the surface of the lake
and slowly .dissipating as it rises
above the Crater rim.
Crater Lake is sunk within an
ancient volcanic crater, surround
ed by cliffs 500 to 1000 feet high.
There is no ordinary source of
smoke within the six-mile wide

Leavitt theorized that the phenom-
