Picks Up Marbles,
 Goes Home Crying

Washington - Indications were seen here early this week that busi- ness plans a last-ditch fight to pre-. vent President Truman's fact-fnd- ing board, labor unions or anyone else from uncovering just how much of consumers prices go into profits and how much of those pro- fits might be diverted into pay en- velopes to help workers face in- creased living costs.
 Walter Gordon Merritt, attorney for General Motors, announced the withdrawal of that firm from govern ment fact-fnding which is trying to determine whether or not GM can pay the 30 per cent pay increase de- manded by the firms 100000 striking workers.
 He said:
 Forecasts, Estimates
 @'The corporation is unwilling to participate in the proceedings of this fact-6nding board so long as its prices, profits and ability to pay-which are not facts but fore casts and estimates for the future are to be regarded as proper factors in determining wages as ap- piled to individual business"
 He did not say anything about the fact that workers costs of living don't have to be estimated because facts show they have risen. He did not say anything about the fact that GM, while refusing to submit its bal ance sheet, possesses one for each of its employees by virtue of the fact that the corporation controls the pay rolls. It knows the workers income and it knows the workers costs of living.
 Truman Says sOpen Elm
 When President Truman an- nounced last week that the cOrpO- ration's ability to pay was a factor which should enter into wage negO- tiations and thereby supported the union plea for open books, two business spOkesmen responded quickly with the thread-bare argu. ments.
 ".. is bound to stop progress and prevent full employment" howled Ira Mosher, outgoing president of the National Association of Manufac turers.
 Joining him in the attempt to brand fact-hnding as leading to totalitarian- ism was B. B. Jennings, president of Socony-Vacuum Oil Co. who in- sisted, irrelevantly enough, "The American people do not want regi- mented economy"
 Facts Not Epithets
 Right, B. B. How's about giving the facts and not epiihets?

Want A Bathtub? Your Rent Must Be Raised 4OO%
Lynchburg Textile Workers Told 'Conveniences'
 Necessitate Boost

LYNCHBURG, Va. OPA). = Who says imitation isn't here-and not because of wage increases! Cot ton textile workers at the Consoli- dated Mills here, plant whose mini mum wage is 55c and where a con- siderable proportion of the whole plant are paid wages clustering fairly close to the starting rate, have been not1hed that a group of about 50 mill houses have been sold to a private real estate concern and that their weekly rents which have been 95c will now be $3.50.
 The excuse which is given for the increase in rentals is that after many years of pressing for the bare decencies of living, bathtubs are being installed in these houses! 1!
 NO RENT CONTROL
 Lynchburg has not been in a rent control area although the Textile Workers Union of America has been agitating for more than two years to have the city and surroundings so included by OPA.
 The houses at Lynchburg are typical mill houses-flimsy, board structures, built on stilts, usually in poor condition and often with out indoor plumbing. In all cases the only heating is by one or more small stoves. Cooking is usually done on kerosene burner. The family wash, as a rule, is done in a big boiler perched on some bricks in the back yard. Rentals usually average soc a room per week. The Consolidated workers have been paying somewhat less

Workers In Paris
 Strike Effectively

Processions of postmen, clerks, street sweepers, railroad employees, teachers, and even policemen took place in Paris recently to protest against the governments refusal to grant their unions demands for pay increases and revision of their pension system. The demonstrators carried banners and posters reading:
 ''The Big Three are in power where are our 1000 francs?"
 The Big Three'' referred to the Socialist, Communist and Popular Republican parties who now make up the government; all three had campaigned for votes on a plat form of increased pay for civil ser- wants and state employees.
 Paris and number of. provincial towns were completely paralyzed by a token strike" that had been called by the State Employes Unions to pro- test delays in granting their demands. The strike was completely successful, and all work stopped at ministries and government offices.

than average rents but the new rates are way over anything paid elsewhere in the industry.
 The Lynchburg workers have noti- fled their employer they do not intend to pay the extortionate charges which the new owners announce. Moreover, evictions will be resisted. Meanwhile the union is demanding that OPA investigate this situation and rapidly get rent control regulations into the area.

PARKING METERS
BEING INSTALLED
HERE This WEEK
Should Be Ready To Use
BY Monday, Engineer
Tells Mayor This Morning

Installation of the parking met
ers in MarySville will begin Fri
day morning and they will prob
ably be in use by Monday, Mayor
Asman revealed this morning.
An engineer from the Magee-
Hale Park-O-Meter CO., of Okla
homa City, arrived here this morn
ing to begin the work of INSTALL
ing the meters. Actual work can
not start, however, until an air
hammer can be obtained to drill
holes for the meter standards.
The company engineer brought
two assistants with him and men
from the street maintenance de-
partment of the village will also be
used for the work, Mayor Asman
said
Installation of the 10 meters,
more or less, in MarysVille, will
take approximately two days, the
company man said. Most difficult
task is placing the standards in
the sidewalk. Attaching the mech
aniSm to the posts is but matter
of a few moments.
Marshal Brown received a tele-
gram from the meter company on
Wednesday, saying that the first
Is meters were being shipped by
express, and the remainder by mo-
tor freight.
The meters will be installed one
block each way from the Public
Square. Parking in this area will
be limited to two hours, and will
be at the rate of five cents per
hour.
The meters are so constructed,
however, that a motoriSt wishing
to park only fraction of the full
time may insert a penny for II
minutes, two pennies for "a min
uteS, etc.
The meters are being installed on
a nine month trial basis, and if
they do not work out, are to be
removed -at the endof that time acs
cording to plans.
How successful they will prove
in Marysville is a matter of con-
lecture. There has been great
deal of opposition to them, espec-
tally among the farmers, and it
may be they will not prove the
financial success hoped for.

neither could take time for much
of statement today. However,
Noel Howard, Hi-Y president, did
stop long enough to declare:

Well moider da bumS!"
Incidentally, neither will parti-
cipate in the battle of bruises.
Both sides declare they are
working on some secret plays

MT. GILEAD WINS
JUNIOR TOURNEY
Defeat Delaware Monday
In Final Game Here

A Scrappy bunch of youngsters
from Mt Gilead won the junior
high school tournament here Mon
day night when they defeated Del
aware, 16 to Is, in an overtime
game. Redwood juniors defeated
Marysville, Is to 10 in a prelim-
mary consolation game.
Mt. Gilead tied the game up on
two free throws scored after the
regulation time had ended, then
went on to win in the overtime.
One of the Mt. Gilead players
was fouled in the last four or five
seconds of play, and regulation
time expired before the fouls could
be shot. Despite the pressure on
him, the Mt. Gilead lad calmly
made both free throws to tie the
game at 14-all. 1t was the same
lad, Klingel, who made the win
ming basket in the overtime.
Delaware, who led all the way
and was two points in front when
the foul was called, protested the
decision at the time, saying the
time had lapsed. However, they ac-
cepted it in good graceS, and were
fine sports over their IaSt-Second
defeat.
The youngsters from Delaware,
playing more aggressive ball, eSpec-
tally the first half, held a 2 to
margin at the first quarter and was
ahead 9 to A at the half. The third
quarter margin was 10 to in fa-
vor of Delaware, but Mt. Gilead
outscOred their opponents 8 to 4 in
the final period.
In the preliminary, greater ex-
perienCed proved the deciding fac
tor between Marysville and Rich
wood, with the young Tigers by
far the most polished team. Ma
rySVille lads were outclassed most
of the way, scoring only two bas-
ketS the entire game to seven for
Redwood.
The score was tied at Sail at the
end of the first period but MaryS-
vile went ScoreleSs the second and
Redwood assumed a half-time lead
of 8 to 3. The third quarter margin
was Is to 8 for Redwood. Cheney
and Stout each scored 7 points for
the North-enders, while Dayton
and Boyd get three each for Ma
rySville.
