Workers Ideas Save Navy Huge Amount

Washington, D. C.-New ideas submitted by civilian workers in navy yards and shore establish ments-including simplified shell fuses, a new saltwater soap and an improved hay rake for air. fields-will save the navy an es- timated $1,300,000 a year. This was announced by the Navy Board of Awards to Civil Employees, the agency in Washington which. sell ects the best employe suggestions forwarded by local boards.
 Said Admiral F. c. Crisp, board chairman, who is Director of Shore Establishments and Civilian Per- Sonnel:
 These men have made very val uable contributions to the war effort. It is just further proof of the innate intelligence and alert ness of American workers. They use their heads while working with their hands"

Senate Urges 65c Wage Floor

Washington D. C.-Congress asked by Senate Committee to declare that any hourly below 65 cents hour substandard for American workers trying to live Nh health and decency.
 More than Ten million American workers still paid less than that figure, the committee reported.
 At the National War Labor Board holds that 55 cents hour is the minimum standard The American Fed eraon of Labor has demanded that the minimum be raised to 72 cents hour.
 The Senate resolution approved by Senators Pepper La Toilette Tunne and Aiken, would not be compulsory eff feet It would permit unions and employers to negotiate rate increases the 65 cents hourly level without requiring WLB approval.
 Nor would the resolution, if adopted by Congress, vent the WLB from setting higher minimum should it de- termne such rate to be necessary to fument of the requirements of announced poicy.'
The sub., 1945-08-02

Despite the relatively high level of wartime wages" the commit tees report declared, millions of American workers and their fam- lilies are today forced to exist on earnings insufficient to provide even the bareSt minimum standard of living consistent with health and decency.
 ''If this resolution is adopted, the maximum possible aggregate cost of wage increases to the in- dustries affected would be about $4, 100000 a year.
 This figure, however, is based upon the unrealistic assumption that all workers receiving less than 65 cents an hour would im- mediately be raised to 65 cents" the group said.
 A more realistic estimate, the committee added, flor which the War Labor Board is the authoity, places the total annual cost at $761 100000"
 "The cost of the proposal can be absorbed by American indus try without substantially affecting current profit levels and in most instances within the limits of ex- isting price ceilings" the report added.
 "As for the postwar period, the guarantees of continued profits provided by Congress in the rev. enue laws give substantial assur- ance of the ability of industry in general to absorb whatever cost would be involved If the resolu- ton is adopted

De'OeyPraises Ne1U York Labor Setup

Albany, N. Y.-Governor Dewey said the reorganization of the State Labor Department has brought great progress in the direction of new and revitalized depart ment"
 "The people of this state have just reason to be proud of the fine work done in the labor department during the past two years" the Governor said
 But the department has gone further than mere improvement in the realm of administration" the Governor declared Tt has beamed it's policy in the direction of peaceful industrial relations and improved labor standards in the postwar period. The converting of wage boards for the revision of the states minimum wage structure, as in the case of the Retail Trade Board, should go far in preventing labor conflicts when the war ends. New industrial codes are planned for the promotion of safety. Plans for greater service to returning veterans are in operation. Strength ening of the States Mediation Board for postwar services is un- der way.
 We have forged far ahead of other states in progressive labor legislation. We have reduced in- dustrial conflicts to a minimum.
 We are paying the highest workmen's compensation and un- employment insurance benefits in the entire country"
 Also, the Governor said, New York's laws against discrimination in industry are models for other states to follow"

|C0NCRESSMEN IN
| SCRAP OVER FSA

WASHINGTON, Dec. 7 - Up -
Secretary of Agriculture Clinton
P. Anderson is looking for a way
out of a congressional tug Of war
over the vacant post of Farm Sc
curity Administrator.
The Secretary has been caught in
the middle of a behind-the-scenes
contest between two influential
members of Congress over selec-
ton of a successor to Frank Han
cock, former North Carolina Rep
resentative in Congress who re-
signed Nov. Is, as FSA chief.
The contest threatens to involve
FSA in another of the many pub
lie controversies to which it has
heen' subject since its creation by
Henry A Wallace when he was
Secretary Of Agriculture. tt e
agency's function is to provide
financial and technical aid to low
income farmers.
On a numper Of occasions the
FSA has been accused by oppon-
ents in and out of Congress of
fostering communistic programs
among its clients.
Anderson is being pressed on the
one side by Senator Bankhead 3D.
Ala) to appoint R. W. Hudgens. a
veteran FSA official, to the $10,.
600 job.
He is being besieged on the other
by Rep. Tarver (D-Ga) to give the
job to billiard Lassiter, Regional
Director Of the War Manpower
Commission at Atlanta, Ga. Tar
yer, who often has been a critic of
FSA officials and policies, opposes
Hudgens.

Letters to Congress are reported
continuing to pour into Washington
largely in opposition to any pro-
gram calling for year OF military
training.
The findings in all surveys on
the question to date reveal that
these letters to Congressman are
from a highly vocal minority re-
presenting at very best fewer than
one-fourth of all voters in the coun-
try.
This does not mean that Congress
men are in a position to ignore
such minorities, however. A Con-
gressman's margin of victory in
an election at home may have been
smaller in size at his last election
than the voting strength of the
minority which is demanding that
the Congressman vote in accor-
dance with its views. The influence
of the minorities at the polls can
thus be out OF proportion to its num-
bers in the total voting group in
the legislators constituency.
Reasons
People give two reasons, prin-
cipally, for favoring a peacetime
military program calling for a
years training. One, they say this
nation should be prepared for the
threat of another war and that
military training program will help
out in that direction. Two, they
say that such a program contri-
butes toward the discipline and
health of the nations youth.
Those opposing a military train
ing program say: y, it is better
to do our mobilizing when war real
ly threatens us; p, such program
would interfere with education; -,
such program would encourage
war; it would waste federal funds;
the atomic bomb renders large
armies obsolete; a., it is undem-
ocratic.

In reply to another question, Mr..
