Pennsylvania Factory Pay
Reported At Record High

Philadelphia (ILNS)-The number
of factory workers in Pennsylvania
declined / percent from February to
March and percent from a year ago,
the Federal Reserve Bank of Phila-
delphia reported. Payrolls, on the
other hand, increased percent in
March and were only percent below
last year. 1t is estimated that almost
100000 production workers were
employed in March, with a weekly
payroll of $55,OOO,OOO. The total
number of hours worked increased
fractionally in the month, but was
percent lower than last year. Aver
age hours worked also increased
slightly to 51a and were the highest
since last fall.
Average weekly earnings at report
ing plants reached a new high of
$49.35 in March. This is almost
double the level of earnings that pre-
vailed during the 1920's and again in
the immediate prewar years. Over
time hours necessary to produce war
materials account for some of the in
crease in earnings. Hourly earnings
have been increasing steadily, how
ever, since the late 1905 and at
$1.09 in March exceeded any previ-
ously reported.

the combination Of victory elation,
more gasoline, good driving weather
and a general feeling that "it won't
be long now" adds up to the prospect
of bigger and bigger traffic death
toll in the months ahead-unless ex-
ira care goes along with the extra
gas.
Traffic deaths went up percent
in April over year ago for total
of 1900, the council said. They also
went up percent in March. But even
with these increases, the toll for the
first q months of the year was per-
cent below the same period last year
That is because traffic deaths came
down in January and February.
Can the currently rising toll be
blamed on more mileage? At least
part of it can, the council said, for
mileage went up percent the first
3 months of the year over the same
period last year.
This is all the more reason, the
council said, to expect that the increase
in gas rations June 22 may bring more
accidents. The only antidote, the coun-
Gil believes, is more rigid observance
and enforcement of traffic laws by all
concerned.

Senators To Study
Labor Relations

Washington, D. c. LNS).-The
Senate Small Business Committee has
ordered a broad study of labor-man-
agement relation, including the ques-
tion of consolidating government
agencies dealing with labor. The
American Federation of Labor favors
such a consolidation.
Senator James E. Murray, Montana,
the chairman, said the purpose would
be to promote cooperation of labor
and management and suggest "sound
government policies and procedures to
assure that maximum employment in
the cOuntry's smaller producing units
is achieved and maintained"
Murray appointed Senator Brien
Mcmahon, Connecticut head of SUBJ
committee to conduct the study. Other
members will be Senator Murray and
Senator George A. Wilson, Iowa.
Senator Mcmahon said hearings will
begin early in June The subcommit-
tee proposes to develop these main
points:
The role of labor organizations as
related to small business.
Methods of achieving full coopera-
tion between labor and small business.
Government organizations and poll
cies affecting labor and small business
with view to streamlining them for
future operations.

Vast Production Job
Faces u. S. Workers

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-In a
press conference at the Pentagon
Gen. Brehon Somervell, Commanding
General, Army Service Forces, out
lined the production job ahead for
American workers.
On many items, he disclosed, more
production will be needed for the one
front war than was required for two
fronts. Clothing is one of these. To
fight the Pacific war, he explained,
men need cotton clothing for the trop-
ical Philippine staging areas, heavy
woolens for the cold and wet climates
of many parts of the japanese domain.
All materials and supplies having
to do with port, shelter and all con-
struction facilities will be needed IN
even larger quantities for the Pacific
than for Europe, the general declared,
adding, "The person who said the war
in the Pacific is bulldoZer war was
pretty near right.
Housing the men alone he charac-
terized as "the biggest dwelling-con-
struction job ever undertaken by
man."

Loan Aid LiberaliZed
For Small Business

Washington, d. C. (ILNS).-The
Smaller War Plants Corporation has
liberalized it's policies to facilitate
loans to small firms making essen
tial civilian products, Chairman
Maury Maverick announced here.
Maverick estimated that less than
percent of the corporations $780,
100000 in loans had been for essen

up to $4,000 without awaiting Wash
ington approval. They also may make
loans up to 100000 when banks take
part to the extent of 20 percent.

How Did British Survive? ?
(William Henry Chamberlin in
The New Leader)

"The Russians have been tough and
cynical in their methods, and very dl-
rect in pursuing their purposes. But
never forget it-that was how they
survived in the first place. If they
had been a different sort Of nation,
they would never have held out against
almost the full force of Hitler's
strength for years.-Max Lerner
on the air, as reported in PM.
One wonders, in this assumption,
how the British, without benefit OF
massacres of political suspects and
slave raids on their own population
and that of occupied countries, saw
the war against Hitler through to vic
tory for period of over 5As years,
including almost years of Nazi-So-
Wet collaboration. Also, if toughness
and cynicism are to be exalted as vir-
tues, necessary for survival, one might
question what the war was all about
anyway. l should say that these were
two of the outstanding characteristics
of Hitler, Mussolini and the japanese
militarists.

Free $4,000 Railroad
Men, ODT Asks

Washington, D. C. (ILNS)-Back-
ed by labor, J. Monroe Johnson, head
of the Office of Defense Transporta-
ton. has recommended that the Army
release $4,000 experienced railroad
workers to help move members OF the
armed forces in their transfer from
Europe to the Pacific.
The railway brotherhoods have en-
dorsed the recommendation and have
asked the Army, through the Labor
Management Policy Committee OF the
War Manpower Commission to screen
out former railroad workers for dis
charge or 9O-day furloughs.
Director Johnson told executives OF
the brotherhoods at meeting re-
Gently that each fighting man return
ed from Europe will make an average
of 5 train trips in being moved from
Atlantic to West Coast ports.
AS result, the railroads will be
required to operate about 80 troop
trains daily. The ODT, he said, is
endeavoring to assemble pool OF
about 1,5OO cars for this service, tax
ing coaches from special passenger
runs and raising the possibility of
sharp curtailments in civilian travel
Manpower shortages are reported
to be particularly severe among
switchmen, firemen, brakemen, skilled
shopmen, telegraphers, freight hand
lers and maintenance-of-way work

The first picture ever filmed with the official cooperation of the FBI, "The House on 92nd Street" amaz- ing drama behind the secret of the protection of the atomic bomb, is now playing at the Loew-Poli thea ter.
 The film depicts the development of the atomic bomb and the work of the Federal Bureau of Investiga- ton in countering the attempts of enemy agents to obtain the secret. It was made secretly in New York, Washington and other actual locales The title refers to the address of the headquarters of enemy agents in America. The picture was in production for more than a year and is based entirely on the records of FBI.
 The actors, actresses and techni- clans who worked in the picture did not know the story dealt with the development and protection of the atomic bomb. These portions of the film were omitted from the screen play until after the White House announcement of the use of the bomb on Japan. This great picture stars William Eythe. Lloyd Nolan and Signe Hasse with Gene Lockhart, Leo G. Carroll and a few other professional actors in im- portant roles. Aside from the actors all other roles in the picture are filled by FrBI agents re-enacting the parts they took in guarding this greatest of all war secrets from en- emy hands.
 William Eythe plays the part of a German American who, trained by the Nazis at their school for spies and saboteurs, and working with the FBI. finds himself caught in the meshes of the dangerous schemes of the designing Signe Hasse and the powerful forces of the Federal agents, directed by Lloyd Nolan, who gather the slim clues that send them all on the perilous trail lead- ing to the crashing climax of the suspense-packed, thrill-filled drama of this mighty manhunt.
 The graphic realism of "The House on 92nd Street" was made possible by the full cooperation of J. Edgar Hoover. The entire fa- cilities of tha bureau were at the directors disposal, this picture be- ing the first ever filmed with the official cooperation of the FBI.
 The second big hit on the program Is the entertaining, Club Havana, :" starring Tom Neal and Margaret Lindsay.
