Proving more popular than ever, the annual Doll Bazaar Wednes- day at St Margaret's Guild at Trin- ity Parish Hall was complete sue cess, it is reported. Although there was plentiful supply of charming outfits for all types and sizes of dolls, they were completely sold out by noon, and those in charge feel sure there will be no disappointed little mothers at Christmas time among the many who hope for new clothes for their dolls.
 Mrs. James Ryan was general chairman of the bazaar and Mrs. w. J. Walker had charge of the noon luncheon hour, when sandwiches and coffee were served,

Blind Policies On
 RecOnverSiion To ProduceDisaster
Director Of Reconversion Warns Of Danger To
 Nation Within 5 Years

An economic smashup faces tho US. within five years, Rober Nathan, deputy reconversion direc tor, predicted in recent speech tc OPA workers. Present shortsighteC recOnversiOn policies are pushing the nation down a road that end. in cliff-and the fall will b. harder and deeper than the de pression of 1929, according te Nathan.
 First on Nathan's program fol averting the chaos he sees looming up ahead is "a tax system that make. sense" That would mean a system based on ability to pay, one whicf would relieve low income families encourage international trade, favor real venture capital and productive labor, and set the tax dodgers bacI on their heels.
 RELIF FOR GREEDY
 That's the very reverse of the re. lief-for-the-greedy tax bill just passed by Congress, which is designed pri marily to benefit the 900 biggest cor porations and 99,000 wealthiest tax payers.
 All of Nathan's points were based on the urgency of develop ing high-level postwar production and full employment. That re quires higher wages and stable prices-and Nathan didn't fall fon any of the sob-statistics offered by industry. Like Pres. Truman, ht bluntly stated that industry car afford wage increases by dipping into its past and prospective pro fits, without extorting price in creases in exchange.
 Nathan also spoke of the import ance of broadening the social secur ity program, supporting an adequat, employment service and using tn, antitrust division of the Dept. O Justice to smash monopolistic prices
 ECONOMIC DISASTER
 Any sabotage of this program in vites economic disaster, Nathan made plain. Backing up Nathan's predic ton, Bread & Butter" weekly news letter of Consumers Union, says it economic consultants believe certain major industries may use sitdown tao tics, as they have in the past, tc strengthen their economic and politi cal controls.
 Today industry is sitting dowr with the objectives of cripplins unions, obtaining higher price. and deferring sales until 1946 te save excess profits taxes. In l94S there is some reason to beIiev, that industry may revoke ''Tru man depression' by cutting dow1 operations again on the ground that production will be impossibl, unless ''business-minded" pubIi, officials are installed.
 Inventories by that time will prob ably have reached a peak peacetim, point so that a shutdown will appear imminent anyway. Bread & Butte says the depression may come in les than five years-it may be here b, 1948-unless the people succeed ii winning their jobs-for-al1 program.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

GEORGE JOSLYN, eagle-eyed B.A. of Sheet Metal Workers No. 40, points out that the Wage Ad- justment Board has more lives than nine cats, an observation with which all building trades mechan- ics agree-regretfully.
 THE monthly drawing staged by the Mortgage Liquidation Commits tee of the N. H. Central Labor Council was won by Florence Hawkes., member of the New Ha- ven P. O. Clerks Union. Joe Lehan. international vice-president of the Fire Fighters, pulled the lucky ticket, breaking the spell held by Carpenters No. 79.
 THE huge modern plants built by Uncle Sam during the war can make 100000 peacetime jobs if operated to capacity. That's the estimate made this week by Boris Shishkin, A. F. of L. economist.
 Many are now standing as a 'white elephant'' and others are slated to become SO, in part be- cause they're too big for anyone except monOpolies to handle. Shishkin offered this solution: the government should spend whatever sums are necessary to remodel and divide up the plants, then lease the parts to small businesses.
 That's the way to turn the curse of bigness into a blessing, g he declared.
 IF somebody could only think up a pleasant name for concentra- ton camps, some members of Congress would have no difficulty making up their mind what to do about workers who demand better wages and more job security.

Yale & Towne Has Record Of
 Union-Busting
Firm Now Greatly Con cerned About Workers
 Personal Safety"

A drive among anti-union corpora tions to restore the pre-war "open shop" is gaining momentum. One of the companies leading the campaign is Yale & Towne, makers of locks, hoists and other mechanical equip ment, with plants in Stamford, Conn.,, and Philadelphia.
 Yale & Towne has long ''union-busting'' record, details of which are carried in La Toilette Civil Liberties Committee reports. Despite tough management resist ance, the Machinists' Union suc- ceeded in organizing both plants during the war and later, with War Labor Board backing, got ''union security agreements from the firm.
 Right after the wars end, the Yale & Towne management served notice it wouldn't renew the "union secur- ity" clause. Like Sewell Avery of Montgomery Ward, the company president, w. Gibson Carey, IT,, sought to camouflage this move by claiming he wanted to protect the personal liberty" of his employees.
 Machinists' representatives tried to secure a settlement in collective bar gaining, but, when that failed, strikes were called as a last resort at both plants.
 Meanwhile, the Connecticut State Board of Mediation reveals that at least 10 other firms in the state are trying to junk '.sunion security" and go back to the ''open shop" Union officials say simi- lar efforts are being made by em- ployers in many other states.

BY DORIS FLEESoN

Members of President Truman's
kitchen cabinet here are in sweetel
mood today, now that the President
is quietly fishing in Tennessee
lake. 1t has been their feeling fol-
some time that their hero was over
doing the one-of-the-boys role.
Weekend accounts of the Presi-
dent quaffin8 champagne and at
tending horse races on Sunday had
caused some trepidation in these
quarters. Most of America, they feel,
does not take to horse racing as Sab
bath diversion even in a country
town.
To understand their anxiety it
must be realized that this group is
thinking in terms of the Truman
who will run for reelection in 1948
and it is acutely conscious of the
day. -by-day picture that is being
built up. Mr.. Truman has been sct-
ing in character, which is that of a
friendly and likable man, but his best
friends and severest critics believe
that occasionally, in his eagerness to
prove the presidency hasn't spoiled
him, he has been exaggerating. They
are quick to fear any shadow on the
picture of the pleasant Middle West
ern family man.
Anxiety Over Love Feast.
Their anxieties were first voiced
about the accounts OF the poker
playing, whisky drinking sessions of
the recent Democratic love feast on
Jefferson Island. Some of that
secrecy which is so plentiful around
Washington could be wisely applied
to the presidential relaxation, they
mourned.
One of their arguments is that
what went well in the happy honey
moon days when all the news was
good news does not go so we'll amid
the troubled period of reconversion
to peace.
The President has already proved
that he is sensitive to the deadfalls
OF Washington. A Missourian who
got one of the first choice Truman
plums began romping about town.
Mr.. Truman acted alertly and de-
cisively. The gentleman is now
reduced to rejecting upon his past
brief glory.
1t is one of the liabilities of the
presidency, of course, that his per-
sonal actions get almost more me-

| ticulous attention than his public
ones. In the forcing ground of
Washington legends grov fast and
once they take root 1t Is hard to
NOW them down.
The Presidents press conference
has slightly tough wisecrack to
describe the alteration that has come
with the six months Mr.. Truman
has held office. They now say:
Don't shoot the piano player, boys;
he is doing his best"
This does not mean alteration in
their personal regard for him. But
it is way of saying that the Presi-
dent has not begun to chart a clear
high road amid the problems that
beset us and that the dornicks will
be along any day now.
Apathy on Capitol Hill.
There are no signs that the men

sameLthey are in trouble, the
President must decide what is to be
done. Nor is Congress assuming
any leadership in settling the wars
liabilities. A sober Republican as
serts he has never seen such apathy
on Capitol Hill in both parties.
Again this means Mr.. Truman must
furnish the blueprints and the drive
that is necessary to translate them
into action.

Homework, thy duty is to me
Like those cruel locks that bar the
door
Which leads into a good movie
Or stays from adding up a score
Upon a bowling floor.
Although, for pleasure, would roam
Thy English tests that I must face,
Thy Spanish verbs have brought me
home
To the writing of piece
Or the learning of a poem.
So, when I hear the last bell ring,
I brush my tears off with my hand
And hope that teachers understand
The horror of this little thing
That they have planned.
