Snyder
FaVorS
High Pay

NEW YORK NPA)-Sig-
nificant statements on a ma
tional policy that sounded
amazingly like the position of
organized labor were made in
a series of speeches here and In
New England by Reconversion
Director Snyder last week.
Snyder's statements were
considered especially significant
since he is the man who has the
final say on questions of admin
istration policy covering Stabil-
lzation, wages, prices, and other
vital reconverSion questions
Snyder's recommendations carry
all the weight of White House
announcements in most cases.
Production must be raised,
and distribution of peacetime
goods must be expanded as
quickly as possible, Snyder said.
If this is done, industry should
be able to absorb any costs
caused by raising wages to make
up for the loss in overtime pay
with the end of war production.
First CIearcut Statement
This is the first clearcut state
ment of this sort from any Ad-
ministration top spokesman since
the seminar" for newsmen at
which former Economic Stabil-
izer William A. Davis said that
industry could afford wage
raises to increase consumer purS
chasing power.
Snyder made speeches to re-
tail and industry groups in Bos-
ton and New York, and made a
nationwide radio broadcast
from New York, all last week.
All speeches were on the same
general theme.
He stated as part of the gen
eral "task ahead this principle:
"We must maintain the income
the buying power-of our
people at high levels. We must,
within that framework, plan for
steadily rising standard ofrliv-
ing for all our people,
Industry can readily absorb
the cost of higher wages, Snyder
said in Boston, because CAN
along the line-from factory
down through the various levels
of distribution-savingS in unit
costs will be possible through
curtailment of overtime pay,
through increased productivity
OF workers and the more eff
fic lie mt techniques developed
during the war. Smaller unit
profits can bring greater total
profits by stimulating an In
ceased volume of sales.
Wherever possible a share in
these savings should be passed
on to the workers to keep their
earnings and their purchasing
power in balance with the cost
of living. l am sure that en-
ployers, generally, acknowledge
the importance of good wages in
maintaining the American mar
ket."
In New Haven, he said "The
take-home price of the essentials
Of life remains high; the work
ers' take-home pay has fallen. |
Squeezed in that wise, the work
er can do only two things
either he gets more money, or
he has to reduce his standard of
living. With a reduced standard |
Of living, he will buy less, the
will suffer, and manufacturers
purchasing power of the market
will feel it ultimately in reduced |
orders"
Snyder was reminded In a
wire from Walter Reuther,
UAW-CIO vice-president, that
"a 23%o wage cut going down re-
luires a 30%6 increase in wage
rates going up, if take home pay
s to be maintained" Snyder
has been quoted by reporters as
agreeing that the reduction of
overtime had subjected indus
rial workers to a 23qo cut in
wages. Reuther quoted the case

issue up was not disclosed by
PAC officers.
Defeat Increased Term
Also defeated was the amend
ment TO the city charter which
would have increased the terms
of city councilman TO four years.
This amendment which was op-
posed by the PAC was showed
under to the tune of 1907 for
while 39,804 were against the
proposal.
Also voted on in Tuesday cleo
ton were members of the school
board and city councilmen. The
three who were elected to the
school board include Edward G.
Ames, William c. Sanzenbacher
and Fred A. Hunt. Hunt and
Ames are incumbents. 1t will
be Sanzenbacher's first term.
PR Count Thursday
Board of Election officials ex-
pressed the belief that the PR
count for city councilmen would
be able to get under way
Wednesday morning. A t u |
counting of the vote probably
will be delayed until late
Wednesday afternoon or Thurs
day morning due to the amount
of time required to scan for in
valid ballots.
The quota for this years cleo
ton will run higher than any
since 1889. To secure election
under the PR system, the candi-
dates must secure 10 per cent of
the vote plus one. In 1943, there
were $4,000 valid votes.
Political observers around the
city were predicting that Tom
Burke would not run better than
fourth, the same as two years
ago, They point out that labor's
failure TO defeat the PR system
of electing city councilmen indi-
Gates that the labor vote was not
as large as had been previously
expected,
Point to GrZezinSki
Another school OF thought be-
lieves that Burke will run strong
because of the showing made by
labor in elevating Judge Stanley
A. Grzezinski despite the efforts
made during the campaign by
Councilman Ollie Czelusta to de-
feat him by claiming that can
dldates for public office who
have Polish names could not be
elected except under the PR
system.
Actual completion of the total
PR vote will probably not be
made until next week.

WE, THE WOMEN.
Weather Ahead, Soldier Said, |Is Certainly Gonna Be Nice

ginning to come back from places that make even the worst weather America can produce seem pleasant.
 And maybe it will be good thing for us, at that. We look forward to s,mmer-so that we can com plain to everyone we meet, This hot weather has me whipped"
 REALLY A BLESSING
 And then we look forward to the end of the heat so that we can begin to complain about the cold and the slush and the de- pressing gray days.
 There aren't but a few days in each year when we aren't fussing about the weather. Just getting bored with the subject has never made up drop it. But maybe we'll stop if enough of us are told by the servicemen, who froze in Europe or sweltered in the tropics, that we don't know what bad weather it.
 And won't that be a real bless ing? Especially if it stops the per son who is fond of asking, Well is it hot enough for you today?"

BEAUTIES HINTS
 Lotion Solves KnOtty Problem
BY ALICIA HART NEA Staff Writer

A girl born with curls is thrice blessed, but mass of tight ringlets can be knotty problem.
 Best way to solve it, experts say is to govern the degree of curliness you want with scissors, used by an operator who knows how to thin hair out in layers and trim it slant wise.
 Next step is to coax any re- maining tightness out of curls with setting lotion. Used as matter of discipline in a regular weekly setting. it will replace knotty ring lets with plump curls.
 Watch the operators technique with setting lotion and a fine tooth comb, as he coaxes tight ringlets into fuller curls or makes two ridges into one wave. Follow ing his technique when you dress your locks will enable you to carry on where your hairdresser leaves of

good points in today's hand. On North's opening lead of the dia-
 nond ling, South played the deuce and North shifted to the king of spades. West won with the ace, and led 8 small diamond to dummy's ten. North won with the ace and con- ttnued . diamond, which South won with the ace of trumps.
 Now here is the feature of the hand: South was quite correct to play the diamond deuce first and then the seven spot. If he played the seven first, and then the deuce. he would have informed West that he was out of diamonds and wanted fo ruff. By playing the deuce and seven, he could have trapped a care le1g dec1arer into allowing the dia- nod . ride around to his jack.
