BILE effect on American competition
overseas and on the possible cost
in subsidies.
David L. Behncke, president OF
the Pilots association, apparently
returned to his Chicago headquar-
tiers shortly after the strike began.
His office referred all questions to
Chicago.
Behncke had personally deliver
ed a 30-hour "ultimatum" to Jack
Frye, TWA president, j Saturday
morning demanding higher pay
scales Immediately. A spokesman
for TWA said that was the first
step by the pilots since a Presi-
dental fact=finding board issued a
report on July 7. Company Of
ficials said the union had ignored
requests for conferences and had
accepted without comment the &C
ton of the airlines in revising pay
formulas to meet the board recon-
mendations.
The first picket lines were es-
tablished at Kansas City mainten-
ance shops. Behncke said full
picket lines would be established
at strategic way points if neces-
sary.
Behncke asserted the emergency
boards proposed pay formula
meant cuts which would range up
to PAT percent, while the airline
said the average increase for top
pay pilots would be 16.1 percent.
Calculation of pilot pay involves
several factors, such as base pay,
which increases for the, first eight
years; hours in the air, which
varies with the speed of the air
plane and whether it Is flown in
daylight or dark; and miles
travelled. Pilots also get fringe"
pay to cover expenses away from
home.
1t appeared unlikely that the
strike would spread to other air
lines, since the carriers come
under the Railway Labor act which
provides certain steps to be taken
before a strike may be called.

tonnage should be measured by the
weight of coal at the railroad where
it is carried away from the mines.
Lewis contends that the tonnage
should be measured at the mine
tipple. The use of railroad weights,
he said, "means several million
dollars lost as a result of coal be-
ing weighed after washery pro-
cesses, as well as the loss of coal
for company use"
The vacation pay dispute arose
over the manner of its application
to miners working less than a full
year. This pay is 500 a year.
Lewis declared the government
had interpreted the contract pro-
vision so that "a miner who had
changed jobs or quit prior to the
governments taking over the
mines on May % would lose pro
rata monthly vacation payments
and this runs into millions of dol
lars"
For 80 days our representatives
have protested these breaches IT
contract which have led to the
loss of millions of dollars due to the
mine workers." Lewis wrote Krug.

commercial export use is limited
to IS per cent of the 1945 produc-

products in malt and distilled bev-
erages is prohibited.
after giving careful considera-
ton to all available information,
I find that bakery products foe
this period are in short supply"
Shields also cited the worldwide
shortage of wheat in turning down
a petition by the OPA Flour Mill
ing Industry Odvisory committee
for the decontrol of wheat, Farina
and Semolina on Oct. 4. An appeal
from that decision os pending.
Some quarters believed the ag-
riculture department denied the
bakery petition until it can get to-
gether with OPA on the question
whether price ceilings also should
be taken off flour.
The price agency was reported
to feel it would be impracticable
to lift ceilings on bakery products
while continuing them on flour.
Wheat has not been under control
since the old OPA law lap>ed June
80.
Some officials, however, were
said to feel that ceilings should be
kept on flour as long as domestic
production curbs are continued as
part of tne famine relief program.
Ruling Surprises
Shields ruling came as a surprise
to many officials who had predict
ed bakery products would be freed
in line with President Trumaa's
instructions to federal agencies to
speed up all decontrols except for
rents.
Other developments on the decon-
troll front:

mittee asked that soap be freed
from price control, but OPA Of

mend decontrol now because Of the

in quality, for that she already
possesses - there can be no doubt
that she will take her place among
our best virtuosi. Her performance
in the Wieniawski No. 2 Concerto
in D Minor was something to re-
member and cherish for a month
of Sundays.
Strangely enough, Miss Flood
opened her program with this. the
piece de resistance, and SO captur-
ed her auditors wrapt attention
at the very start. If there was any
less attention during her playing
of the Ysaye Fourth Sonata in E
major it was due, we believe, to its
unfamiliarity with Wilmington nu-
sic lovers and the absence of an
accompaniment, as is true of the
sonata form of composition. Ger
tainly there was no fault either
with her technical or digetal per-
Torrance.
Sandwiched between the concerto
and the sonata. the young artist
played a group of dances, the first
of which was the familiar de Falla
La Vida Breve, which Kriesler
scored for the violin and used with
fine effect while still at the height
of his genius. This was followed by
Wieniawski's Saltarella, popular
chiefly in southern Italy. and as
the name indicates is intended to
represent jumping. The third num-
Der in this group was Chopin's
Waltz in E minor. scored by Ysaye,
which because Chopin does not not
lend himself to transcription but
is greatest only when played on
the piano for which he wrote, has
always seemed to do justice neither
to the Polish composer or the Eel
gian violinist who rescored the
waltz. Closing the group was a
Greek dance which, in this COM
mentator's opinion, was the five
star piece of the evening.
Two groups of short works clos
ed the program. The first opened
with Dvorak's Songs My Mother
Taught Me, as rescored by Keisler,
then a Love Song of India, com
posed by Miss Floods accompan-
ist, Rudolph Gruen, and dedicated
to her, and closing with the Saras-
ate Gypsy Airs. The second group
was made up of Schubert's Ave
Maria, rescored by Wilhelmj,
KrieSler's Tamborin Chinois, the
Norden Tango Triste and Hora
Staccato, which Heifetz scored for
the first time on a ~tablecloth in a
European cafe as a Gypsy orchest-
ra played it, and which he has
played on many recital and radio
programs.
Miss Flood was generous with en-
cores, playing Swanee River at the
lntermlssion and after the regular
program Kriesler's An Old Refrain,
the Flight of a Bundle Bee, and
Danny Boy.
Mr.. Gruen is an accompanist of
rare talent. So fine was his per-
Torrance it is to be regretted he
did not have a spot on the pro-
gram. j. E. H.
