Girl Employees
Picket Struck
EIectronic Plant

NEWARK. N. j., July 7. up
Girl pickets marched in front Vi
Maxwell Bilofsky's Industrial Elcc-
tronics Corporation plant with signs
which read:
Fifty thousand dollars for Elliott
Roosevelt, but no living wages TO his
employees"
Bilofsky. president of the firm,
said on Tuesday that he lent the
former Presidents son $50OOO, ol
which he got back only $208O0.
Miss ElenOre SOldO. one OF the
Cickets said she and - other en-
ployes, whom she said were mem
bers OF the United Construction
Workers, a United Mine workers
affiliate. had walked out because
another girl had been discharged
for union activity.
Bilotsky said the girl had been
discharged because she took a day
off to go to the beach after giving
her mothers illness as an excuse.
He said the striking girls had a
bad absentee record and that the
company had refused their request
to return to work. They joined the
union after that refusal, he said.
They are just badly advised,
Bilofsky said They got about $50
a week, which is pretty fair money
for kids

HIGHER SUBSIDY COSTS
New York TimeSl

(NeW York 1lmeS)
The cost of the subsidy program has
been increasing steadily For the fiscal
year 1945-46 subsidies are expected to
reach nearly S2,500,000, 900 as compared
with an annual rate Of about 81 SOC, ,000,-
600 at the beginning Of 1914. The in
crease has been largely due to the higher
rates Of payment made necessary by the
failure to hold down the prices and costs
of agricultural products. The manner in
which these costs have risen is clearly
shown by the meat and butter subsidies.
Two years ago the retail prices Of meat
and butter We're rolled back about 10
per cent in order to reduce the cost Of
living index. TO prevent any reduction
in producers prices, the sO-called roll
back subsidies were paid at the rate Of
5 cents pound for butter and $1.1O per
hundredWaight for live cattle. Since
June, 1943, subsidies have had to be in
creased substantially in order to hold the
retail prices Of these two products stable.
The total subsidy on butter was lncreaS-
ed to about 10 cents a pound in October,
1943. and then to Is cents q pound q year
later month ago these rates were
raised again by congressional action. The
total butter subsidy now ranges from l5
cents a pound in May and June to 22
cents q pound from October to the fol-
lowing April
Meat subsidies have followed a similar
pattern. They have already been IN
creased four times this year. Total sub
sides on choice and good cattle are now
more than So per hundredWeight. Dur
ing the same period the pork subsidy has
increased from $l.30 to S170 per hun
dredWeight The meat subsidy program,
which originally was estimated to cost
S436. .OOO,O 900 annually. now costs more
than $3.50, 900 The same tendency
is found in the flour and milk subsidy
programs, the cost Of which also mas m
creased substantially
1t is clear, therefore, that the warn
ings issued two years ago, that in the alb
sence of a firm control over agricultural
prices subsidy costs would increase, were
only too accurate What is to be the limit
subsidies? What assurance have we that
agricultural costs will not rise still fur
ther. thus creating the need for still more
subsidies? What program is being
evolved to drop these subsidies after the
war? viii the recipients follow the eX-
ample of the "copper" lead and ENC pro
ducers and insist upon the retention OF
subsidies when the need Tor them no
longer exists? Mr.. BOWles wants price
control after VI Day Does that mean
subsidies, too? And in what amounts!
The answers to these questions have not
been given in the various postwar pro-
Grams announced to date. When may We
expect them?

PRIME MINISTER CURTIN

CLOS Angeles Times)
IN the death Of Prime Minister John
Curtin, Australia loses capable and
courageous leader to whose organizing
ability the Commonwealth owes much Of
it's success in the Pacific war.
1t was Curtin who insisted on the ap-
pointment Of Cen Douglas Macarthur
as commander-in-chief Of the Southwest
Pacific area, and the wisdom Of the
choice is indisputable.
Australia's cooperation with the
American forces has been all that could
be hoped for. From the two nations has
been welded an instrument Of victory
and the association Curtin brought about
will result in everlasting friendship.

HERE IS SOMETHING
THAT MAKES SENSE

The liberated countries in Europe
have received blunt warning that the
United States cannot continue to ship
food supplies to the previous capacities
and that it is up to the peoples OF these
nations in Europe to get down to hard
work and begin providing larger mea-
4n of their own foods.
There is nothing in the warning that
says We shall let them starVe but the
word is plain that now IS the time Tor
some effort ON their own part.
Only a few days ago the director III
charge Of feeding Europe, former Gov
ernor Lehman Of New York, appealed to
the people Of the United States to pull
their belts in a bit closer so that more
food would be available to ship to Eur
upe. There is, therefore, no intention OF
walking out on them.
The warning on doing some hustling
ON their own was predicated on the fact
that NJ shall need greater quantities OF
food to carry on the Pacific war. The
statement was out Of the office OF the
limited States deputy on the combined
food board Said he to officials Of the
liLcratad countries, referring to the peO-
nIp who are being fed 'they'd better start
pulling themselves up by their own boot
straps and use every conceivable device
~ increase their own production"
Reports from some Of the liberated
areas like Paris are not so good. There
lxurics appear as plentiful and are be-
ing purchased as readily as before the
OCCUPATION. and from other large centers
in other nations, similar reports are
seepng through.
1t would come with better grace, this
appeal for Americans to be more frugal
for the benefit of the liberated nations,
if Mr.. Lehman would see to it first that
some Of this splurging and waste abroad
be- curbed

ONCE AGAIN SECRECY
ON WORLD AFFAIRS

All the headway made at the San
Francisco meeting in opening news chan
nels on world affairs apparently goes
for naught From Washington comes
the announcement that the approaching
BIG Three parley, scheduled in or near
Berlin soon, will be closed to the press.
said the White House statement: "All
that will be issued will be such official
commuuiques as may be decided upon
from time to time"
Who decided th9+ this veil Of secrecy
shall surround this highly important
meeting?
And who shall decide on the hand
outs" to the news spOndentS?
When this parley was decided upon.
President Truman emphatically said
that il would be open to the press, and
by that token, open to the world. TAX
ing the President at his word, the de-
cfsion to meet behind closed doors runs
to Churchill and Stain. The British
prim. minister has proclaimed more
than once that it is his doctrine to
leave the doors open at all such confer
fnces. This narrOWs the who'll matter
down to Moscow Yet Stain, IN previous
instances, has been the first to let state
ments be printed.
1t would seem that the lesson learned
from other closed sessions, especially the
Yulta pariay Of the Big Three, would be
fresh enough i'll the minds OF the three
leaders to prevent another such bunder
Bat not 50. evidently.

DDT Held Foe
OF Malaria

WASHINGTON, July Z. up

strikes 100000 to 5,O0JO0O Amer

be stamped out by the new wonder
mOlogiSts said
Experiments conducted in labo-
ratOrieS, SWampS and private homes
prove the drug almost 100 per cent
deadly against both adult mOsqui-
toes and the infant Wrigglers. No
other insecticide has this double
barreled quality. None has proved
so effective against the fulI-grOWn
insect.
Agriculture department entomol-
OgisUS pointed out that while DDT
holds great possibilities Tor mass
control of disease, none is now
available except fOr the military
and experiments.
For malaria control. DDT is most
effective when dissolved in kerosene
and sprayed Oh walls and ceilings
of homes, they reported. Once on
the walls DOT crystal remain dead
ly from two or six months The
spray is not harmful to humans
but kills flies. CoCkroacheS and other
pests as well as mosquitoes.
Low cost is expected to put DDT
within reach Of even lOW-inCOme
families. The Health Service places
the annual price at from So to S.
for each house sprayed. 1t may 81
lower.
The entomologists have other
plans for mosquitoes not eXtermi-
mated in homes and public build
ings. 1t has been found that spray
ing of sWamps and marshland from
planes leaves trail Of DDT that
remains deadly for many months.

dent Truman'S message to Con-
gress. The President said that
he would set up a fact-finding
board to hear both sides in the
dispute and asked workers to
stay on the Job.
Truman's announcement is
being discussed by the USA's

employers were not enthusiastic
about Truman'S proposal that
fact finding boards such as the
one he wants for the steel wage
