A happy home life usually cen- ters around happy mealtimes. It is Q social occasion when the family gathers to eat. There are two main factors in attaining enjoyable as- sociations with food - first is an agreeable atmosphere and second is good food. The mother in the home is very largely responsible for happy meatimes.
 Feeding your baby is your intr0- duction to him of this future hap py, social life. If you make it your chief aim to see that pleasure is as. sociated in his mind with the very satisfying business of relieving hun- ger, you will avoid one of the most common mistakes in the feeding of babies and young children. Due to over anxiety, mothers easily fall into the habit of urging or even trying to force children to eat.
 If your child is gaining weight and seems healthy and happy, he is probably eating enough to satis- fly his needs, although it may not be what you think he should eat. Your doctor will reassure you of that. If you urge or try to force him to eat, you may build up an antagonism to food.
 Let him eat, don't try to make him eat. Let him feed himself as soon as he shows any desire to do go. He will develop by himself if you give him a chance although it may seem to you to be the hard way,
 Feeding your baby can be one of the most satisfying experiences both for you and baby if you keep mealtimes happy.

carries particular significance since from the beginning of the war, Vinson, who earlier was "econom- ic stabilizer," has been the sym- bol of opposition to wage increases.
 Vinson's present stand for main- tenance of high purchasing power, while it still doesn't go as far as union leaders have been urging, nonetheless represents a triumph for their position.
 In his report, he pointed out that growing munitions cutbacks will bring a sharp decline in working hours and increasing unemploy- ment as a result of which living standards of many workers will fall below pre-war and possibly to hardship levels" if the govern ment doesn't act now.
 we have asked workers
 voluntarily to give up the right
 to strike," he stressed. But
 the nO-strike pledge implies an
 obligation on our part to pro-
 tect the workers standard of
 living. Therefore, we must be
 prepared to make some upward
 adjustments to compensate for
 several declines fin take-hOme
 pay"
 Backs LabOr'S Position
 Vinson supported, at least in part, the position long taken by la bor, that wage increases can be

 Secrets that the Nazis care fully guarded have been fer reted out by United States ex- perts and brought to this coun- try. It is said they include processes that will improve the quality as well as reduce the cost of synthetic rubber.

TRIUMPH FOR LABOR

A pronouncement of enormous importance from the standpoint of maintaining the purchasing power of the nations workers and averting postwar econ Omic taispin came this week from Fred M. Vinson, director of war mobilization and reconversion.
 In report to Congress- Vinson went further than any administration official has in supporting the prin cs long stressed by organized labor that wages must go up to prevent ruinous depression after the war.
 Vinson, whose position is the equivalent of assistant president told Congress bunty that reconverson to prewar levels will not be enough
 "As far national economy is concerned it would be disastrous to go back, for would be going back to the misery of unemployment" he said.
 Pleasant Predicament"
 The nations postwar economy he insisted must be geared the 200 billion dollar level achieved during the result of feats of production by workers which no believed possible Such goal means he said higher earnings for those who toll.
 'The American people are in the pleasant predica- men of having to learn to live 50 cent better than they have lived befOre," VinsOn declared "Only

granted without boosting prices. He pointed out that increased ef- ficiency of workers, elimination of overtime which carries time and one-half pay rates, and downgrad- ing of jobs will cut costs, permit ting pay adjustments without a compensating rise in prices"
 Vinson's report to Congress car- ried many other recommendation of particular concern to labor. Among them are:
 1. The Wage Hour Act should be amended to establish a 50-cents- an-hour minimum wage, as against the present Accent flood" Organ ized labor, however, intends to fight for at least a 65-cent bot tom.")
 2. An adequate unemployment compensation law "is our Number 1 legislative requirement for re- conversion"-and benefits should run to a maximum of at least $25 weekly for up to 26 weeks a year
 Asks More for ''Vets'' 3. The G. I. "bill of rights" should be liberalized to provide $25 weekly benefits for vets" without dependents, and $50 with depend ents, in place of the present $20 weekly figure.
 4. The network of 1,5O0 officers of the U. S. Employment Service should be retained on a national basis, rather than returned to state control.
 D., A big shelf of public works should be prepared by the Federal, state and local agencies, and If re- employment is slow, the govern ment must be prepared to bolster income and create jobs through public works"
 6. Old age pensions should be broadened, health insurance should be enacted, and social security in all its forms should be strength ened as "a necessary factor in maintaining mass purchasing pow er."
 Vinson's report offered a good deal of encouragement to business and agriculture, too, including modernization of tax laws so as to boost production; government poli- cies to foster small business; g vigorous" anti-monopoly program; safeguarding of farmers income and expanded foreign trade.

 inescapable fact that we must
 build our economy on that basis"
 He emphasized that "the time to start bammering out these policies is now, while the transition is still young" that the plans must be prepared in case of an "early defeat of Japan"
 He placed an adjustment of wages high on the list of things that need be done to forestall an economic collapse especially for those in the lower income brackets.

B. Carroon and Benito Arias. II,
one of the star witnesses for the
state.
Arias asserted that Calixtro is
partly responsible for the 76-year-
