WAGE POLICY:
Labor Sees Cain

Though President Truman left the
way for reconversion wage settle
ments up to the collective bargain
ing of employers and unions, labor
looked to the administration pro-
gram to pave the way for substan-
tial pay increases within the stabili-
cation structure.
By appealing for maintenance of
high wartime "take-home" pay, and
declaring business well able to alb
sorb the added costs, or eligible for
moderate price increases, Mr.. Tru-
man was seen to apply pressure on
management at a time when atten-
ton is being focused or the all-im-
portant wage negotiations in the au-
tomobile, oil and steel industries.
In enunciating his r~econversion
wage policy to a radio audience es-
timated at 80, 900, 900, the President
did so only after administrator con-
situations with both big business
and labor leaders. AS a result of
one of these conferences with Hen
ry Ford II, government officials ex-
pressed confidence a satisfactory
settlement could be arranged in the

FUEHRER'S END:
Died With EUa

Answering repeated rumors of Hit
ler's escape from Berlin, British in
telligence declared that an ex-
haustive investigation had indicated
that the fuehrer had shot himself in
the bunker of the reichchancellery
on April 80 and his consort, Eva
Braun, had followed him in death
by taking poison.
Though broken in health, Hitler re-
manned alert in mind to the end,
the British found, and even held
hopes for a successful defense of
Berlin after his decision to remain
in the capital on April % and aban-
don plans for a last-ditch stand in
the Bavarian mountain redoubt.
When the Russians continued to
hammer forward, however, hope
faded and Hitler and his mistress
were married on April 90, climaxing
a long, secret relationship.
Bidding his personal followers in
the reichchancellery goodbye the
next day, Hitler then shot himself
through the mouth while his mate
took poison, the British said. Per
the fuehrer's last orders, Propa-
ganda Minister Goebbels and Dep
uty Leader Bormann then saturated
the bodies with gasoline and burned
them beyond recognition. 1t is also
believed that the remains may have
been further broken up and then
buried.

1916 Prospects

Though the government intends no
leveling off of overall production
next year and demand for food
should remain high, real farm in
come may drop as much as Is per
cent during 1916 in rejecting in
creases in some prices of what
farmers buy, the department of ag-
riculture predicted.
Despite a Is per cent drop in real
income-that is, what income will
actually buy in goods, etc.-it will
still remain double the prewar aver
age, the department reported. How
ever, any kind of a decrease would
be the first since 1885.
Predictions of a drop in real in
come for 1916 followed reports that
the government would soon outline
production goals for next year, ask
ing for maintenance of present live
stock and hog marketings and wheat
and corn acreage; increased plant
ings of cotton and sugar beets, and
sharp cuts for eggs and chickens
and oil bearing crops. Milk and po-
tatoes would be scheduled for small
er reductions.

FOREIGN POLICY:
Regional Security

Though Japan has laid down her
arms, peace has not yet come to
the Pacific, what with Chinese ma
tionalists and communists at swords
points and Indonesians seeking their
independence from Dutch rule.
U. S. troops stood in the middle
as Chinese nationalist squared off
against the communists, with ma
rines guarding the vital coal mines
and rail route around the shipping
port of Chinwangtao in the trouble
some northern zone.
Heretofore, the communists have
considered this territory their espe-
cial domain, and until Chang Kali
shek's troops set foot upon it after
disembarking from U. S. vessels, no
nationalist forces had ever chal-
lenged Red control there. While the
communists withdrew in the face of
nationalist landings at Chinwangtao,
they remained active to the west,
cutting rail routes over which
Chang could deploy his armies.
With the U. S. supporting the ma
tionalists and the Russians having
recently promised to keep hands off
of Chinese politics, Chang has en-
joyed every advantage in his effort
to extend his domination over the
country. While his representatives
have haggled with the Reds over
terms in Chungking, Chang has
cleverly pressed his edge in the
north.
Meanwhile, natives of the East In

FARM PRICES:

Substantial gains in prices re-
ceived by farmers for truck crops,
grains and cotton were primarily re-
sponsible for a two-point upturn il
the general level of prices received
by farmers to 1919 per cent of its
August, l909-July, 1914 average in
mid-O october, the department of ag-
riculture reported. October parity
prices reached another new 25-year
high as prices paid by farmers for

More Shoes on Way

With production for November
and December expected to hit 80
million pair a month, shoes soon
should become plentiful, with deal
ers able to ~replenish stocks curtailed
by former wartime regulations and
runs made upon stores following the
removal of rationing.
At 10000, 900 pairs per month in
August, the output began to squirt

company's plants, setting an indus
try-wide pattern.
While the President said industry
generally was capable of extending
wage increases because of overtime
elimination, greater productivity
per worker, tax credits for lower
earnings and abolition of the excess
profits levy, he promised that price
boosts would be granted after a trial
period if the added costs resulted in
operating losses.
Meantime, price rises would be
considered in cases where indus
tries raised wages to a full % per
cent to cover added living costs
since January, 1941; boosted pay to
iron out differences in plants in the
same industries or localities, or paid
more to attract workers to essential
enterprises to speed up reconver-
sion.
With the governments wage pol

flames rolled out the upper win dows. The alarm was sounded at 3::35 and the 6remen went to work with hoses from the front and back downstairs and up the front stairs that have a separate entrance. They quickly had the fire under control and a few min utes before 4 it was completely out. The frame building is locat- ed in the center of Kodiak's largest business block, Tn which all the buildings are of wood. AL though flames from windows damaged the sides of Breedman's, the Ships Tavern about 4 feet away on one side and the even closer Model Cafe building on the other were both unchanged.
 Damage to the liquor stock, estimated at a 60 per cent loss, was covered by insurance. The building, owned by Sally Pearl Santa Monica, California, was also insured.
 Mir. Freedman lived through the night at the hospital. Dr. 4. Holmes Johnson, the attending physician, said the immediate cause of his death was shock, in- duced by third degree burns on bis head and over almost half his body.

It will not be enough to stamp out anti-democratic practices in the land of our enemies. The conditions which created Fascism there must not pass unnoticed here.
 g Their first and most dangerous symptoms are always the same everywhere-the abandonment of equal justice for all-the placing of some groups in a preferred class of citizenship, at the expense of other groups.
 Like most of the great values of life, the ideals of democracy and peace can be won or maintained only by constant struggle. Democracy is q fighting fGith. No man with a con- science can be SO far removed from that struggle as not to feel the com pulsion of joining in it. Each of us, in our own way, has a job to do."

Dignity Of Man Is Key To Democracy, Hugo Black Holds
Accepting Jefferson Award, Justice Warns Against
 Post-War Fascism

Seldom has any man in public life been the recipient of such a heart-warming tribute as was paid Supreme Court Justice Hugo La fayette Black at a great dinner in Washington last Tuesday evening.
 For the second time, the man who was born in humble circum- stances in the ''clay hills of Ala bama" was the recipient of the coveted Thomas Jefferson Award presented by the Southern Confer ence for Human Welfare.
 Two spacious dining rooms were packed with guests from every walk of life-jurists, legislators, educators, labor chieftains, departmental "big- wigs" and plain citizens, who love Black for his long and consistent battle for the rights of human beings.
 The justice voiced the sentiments of the audience in his modest speech of acceptance:
 'I cannot accept your award as a personal offering to me. It inn plies rather a recognition that we share common hopes and ideals. aH Ot sUtich rest On the beEief in the essential dignity Of man.
 Tt is that belief, I think, which led Jefferson to strive unceasingly that our nation might establish equal and exact justice to all men of what ever state or persuasion, religious or political.'
 "A government with this
 faith is democracy at its best;
 a government without this
 faith leads to Fascism.'

WITH THE 10TH ARM CRED DIVISION, 7TH ARMY, CERMANY-Stunned and profoundly grieved at the loss of their cOmmander-in- chief, CIs fresh out of com bat, with one voice expressed the firm belief that President Roosevelt was a casualty of the war just as much as any of their buddies who have fallen in the fight against fascism.
 Sgt. Bob Wanda, young ex- member of the International Brotherhood of Papermakers (AFL) from Cloquet, Minn., told me: "We took it as blow all right. Everybody hated to see it happen. There's not much we can do about 1t, we'll just have to go back and battle it out"
 "SAD DAY FOR US'
 Sgt. Vincent McCauley of Belle rose, N. Y., now in the intelli- gence and reconnaissance task force of the Richardson 10th Armored Division, showed me letter he had just written home after hearing the news. s'It's sad day for us as we learn of the Presidents death," he wrote. ''I only hope Truman can carry on the splendid work Roose- welt did. Some of us VI Fe discuss ing postwar prospects, hoping they will be the same as Roosevelt wanted.'
 It. Charles Heeran of New York paused in the midst of directing a loading operation and said: "A lot of us felt he was just battle casualty like the rest of us here-only he was on the homefront. Strain and over work caused his death as much as If 1t had happened on the front lines It seemed unbelievable at first, we thought it was German propaganda" <"
 Pfc. Peter E. Forstreuter of Cleveland, where he was a member of the International Association of Machinists, said: ssWe're all grieved by it, but I don't think it will make much difference in the outcome of the war. even though the Axis propagandists are trying to turn it to their advantage. Too bad he couldn't live to see the in- evitable victory"
