Shift to Weekly Earnings
(NeW York Times)


 Current demands for wage increases are emphasz- ing the objective of maintaining wartime weekly earn ings Since the work week forty eight hours long during the war and is now being cut back to forty hours, 30 per cent increase in hourly earnings IS required to maintain wartime weekly earnings. This is calculated follows: If worker were earning a dollar an hour he received $52 for forty eight-hour week because of time and half for the last eight hours. To receive the income for 40 hours the hourly rate must be $l30, an increase of 30 per cent. It is this attempt to compensate for the re- ducton in hours therefore that accounts for the many 30 per cent increases in hourly rates now being demanded
 This emphasis upon weekly earnings represents a complete reversal of abors wartime position. During the war the unions insisted that their relative position was measured by changes in basic straight time wage rates and by any of the other available yardstcks of earnings. The following tabuation shows how abors earning power increased during the war accord ing to various available measures:

It is clear that the emphasis upon basic wage rates during the placed labors position in the poorest light and hence provided stronger justification for wage increases than any of the other yardscks. All suggestions that of the other measures more ap- propriatey indicated the relative change in workers positions production costs considered to be anti-abor Now find the unions taking the very position they so severely criticized before It is inter estng to note also that the yardsck selected for the transition period is one which leaves labor with the greatest improvement in it's position.

CRITICAL NEED FOR
NURSES IN ARMY

Washington - Reporting that
war casualties requiring hospital
ization jumped 270 per cent in
the period including the bulge"
battle, the army told Congress
drafting of nurses is imperative. :"
Major General Norman T.
Kirk, army surgeon general, tes-
titled before the House Military
Committee that since last May
'our patients requiring nursing
care have increased from 100000
to 100000" while army nursing
personnel, despite appeals, has
grown by only 1000. President
Roosevelt has said 10000 are
needed quickly.

backing behind President Roose-
velt's call for a nurse draft, made

Chief Justice Harlan F. Stone
administered the oath to Mr..
Roosevelt on the south portico of
the White House at 1908 p. m.
A minute earlier, retiring Vice
President Henry A. Wallace had
sworn in his successor, Harry S.
Truman.
The President followed his oath
with simple, prayerful five-min-
ute speech. Two minutes later
time for the benediction and the
"Star-Spangled Banner" by the
marine band-one of the nations
most historic occasions was over.
Obviously mindful of his meet
ing soon with Prime Minister
Winston Churchill and Premier
Josef Stain, and mindful too of
isolationist feeling in this coun-
try, Mr.. Roosevelt made forceful
point of this nations role in a
world community in his inaugural
speech.
The war, he said, has taught us
the lesson that we must "live as
men, not as ostriches, nor dogs in
the manager"
eve have learned" he said,
"that we cannot live alone, at
peace; that our own being is dep
endent on the well being of other
nations, far away.
eve have learned to be citizens
of the world, members of the
human community"
AS he spoke amid his generals
and admirals, his congressional
leaders and his political aids,
there stretched before him four
years more promising of trouble
and burdens that any other phase
of his career.
In those four years his ultimate
role in history probably will be
determined-by when and how
the war ends and the justice and
