1t could not have been done more
in unison if it had been rehearsed.
And nothing could have been more
perfectly designed to destroy Gar

viewpoint.
AS of today, it is official that the
Theater Guilds production of Sing

a second edition next autumn and
sent on Nation wide tour. The
new edition will be streamlined,
which the present one definitely is
not with its cast of TO and its four
boxcars full of sets and costumes.
Moreover, the second edition will
be built around Burl Ives, the cor
pulent troubador, who has become
the musicals outstanding figure.
Playwright Walter Kerr will de-
wise the new treatment during the
summer recess of the production.
The third week will be the mus
icai's final one in Washington, it was
announced yesterday. The booking
of "Snafu" for May 81 made it i'm
possible to extend the run, one clear
ly indicated by the popularity of the
item in the National Capital.

Speaking of Sing Out, Sweet

Aside to Mrs. Marie Shor: Yes,
there is almost complete silence

intimacy of the tiny theaters some
one will see fit to talk back to the
characters on the screen. but we
never heard of laugh line being
smothered by the laugh earned by
the line that went before.
The finest break in silence we
ever heard under such circum-
stances was during the screening of
Camille" several years ago. 1t was
in the remuneration scene, in which
Greta Carlo was doing one of her
most superb pieces of acting. The
audiences eyes very properly were

dropped his chin into it. 1t was

Arbiter ToPass On Meaning Of
 Word Consult
Machinists Object to Defini- ton Used By Vultee
 Aircraft Corp

SAN DIEGO, Calf. (FP)-What does the word "consult' mean?
 To clarify the definition of this seemingly simple English term, Lodge ll25, Intl Assn of Machinists, and Consolidated Vultee Aircraft Corp have called in an arbiter.
 It seems that the contract cover ing salaried workers at Convair calls for consultation" with union before any interim wage increases or decreases are made between regular 6-mOnth joint wage reviews.
 But the union claims the conn., pany sees fit merely to notify the committeeman of it's intention to make the changes. And the union contends that to "cOnsult'' means to obtain approval of the commit teemen of any pay adjustments.
 Frank A Mauritsen, Los Angeles attorney formerly with the 10th re- gional War Labor Board disputes di- vision, was called in as a fifth man ill an arbitration panel consisting of two company and two union represent atives.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

CARPENTERS State Council is responsible for the fine agreement reached with the State Wage Board last week on minimum wages on all highway and bridge construc- ton.
 GOV. BALDWIN has appointed Harry Feinmark as Labor Repre- sentative to the l2th National Con- ference on Labor Legislation, to be held in Washington Dec. 3-6.
 UNION chiefs have made re- peated charges lately that some arrangements are inviting strikes because they have nothing to lose if their profits go down they will get tax refunds from the govern ment.
 This week the New York "Times," in a story from Detroit, conceded that this was the reason for the tough attitude of General Motors in resisting union wage de- mands. The company, Gin the event of a prolonged walkout, could draw on tax rebates to offset losses," the 'Times" pointed out.
 In fact, such rebates for C.M.. the paper revealed, could run as high as $l72,OOO,OOO during the coming year-which would provide a huge strike-breaking war chest at Uncle Sam's expense.

Feinmark Urges
 Continuance Of Milk Subsidies
Wires Woodhouse On Need To Keep Down Prices
 To Consumers

Continuance of government subsi- dies of milk was supported this week by Harold V. Feinmark, secretary treasurer of the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor in a telegram to Rep resentative Chase Going Woodhouse, who, it was announced, has arranged a meeting for Wednesday afternoon in Washington of her colleagues in Congress to hear a delegation of con sumers representatives speak in op- position to an increase in the price of milk.
 Feinmark's message read: "COn- necticut Federation of Labor warm ly endorses plan for retention of milk subsidy by government. In view of drastic cuts in workers iake-hOme pay, this is no time to raise prices of necessity such as milk"
 Consumers organizations h C pointed out that if subsidies are re- moved, as is the present intention of the Department of Agriculture, the cost of milk to users will be in creased by two to three cents a quart.

CONTINUE BARGAINING!
 Action continuing the life of the Wage Adjustment Board was taken by the War Labor Board and Sec retary of Labor Schwellenbach upon the request of the executive council of the AFL's Building and Construction Trades Department, the announcement said.
 Secretary O'Kane told The Union Times that organized labor regrets that the executive council saw fit to seek the continuation of the Wage Adjustment Board.
 He expressed the opinion that the new amendment to General Order Mo- Al does not in any way interfere with collective bargaining agreements ar rived at between the local unions and contractors.
 Both O'Kane and President Michael J. Barry this week joined in requesting local building trades council to adopt and use the joint agreement between contractors and the councils, in order to protect the best interests of all A.F.L. building trades unions.
 Following is the text of the agree ment, as unanimously accepted by the Connecticut State Building and Con Struction Trades Council:
 l. Agreement entered into this day of 1945, by and between the Building and Construction Trades Council of chartered by and affiliated to the Building and Construction Trades Department of the American Federation of Labor, hereinafter called the Council" and

 So declared Senator James E. Murray (Dem., Mont.), in a speech in the Senate calling for a wage increase for all workers so as to keep their ''take-hOme'' earnings at wartime levels.
 He placed in the Record" tabula- tions showing the fantastic profits earned by corporations since 1o40. In- stead ot using portion of these profits to pay higher wages, and thus maintain purchasing power, some cor poratlons are using them to fight or ganized labor in various ways Mur- ray charged

 To this end he proposed a two-point program.
 I-The O.P.A. should be di- rected to reduce prices to offset any decrease in average earnings resulting from elimination of over- time and dOwngrading.
 This" Murray contended, would encourage management to grant wage increases to offset loss of earnings and would prevent any undue profits if industry refused to do so"

Altmeyer Seeks
 Improved Security

Chicago-More liberal social se- curity must be provided for the work CTS of America if free enterprise" is to survive. That warning was sound ed by Chairman A. J. Altmeyer of the Social Security Board in an ad- dress here to large audience of busi- ness men at meeting of the Chicago Association of Commerce.
 Altmeyer called for higher unem- ployment insurance, sickness and dis ability benefits, extension of old-age annuities to millions not now covered, and other improvements in the pres ent Social Security Act.
 Altmeyer ridd1ed propaganda that the board favors "socialized medi- cine" It's program of "health insur- ance," he said, provides merely for spreading the cost of medical care through equal payroll contributions by employers and employees.
