Look Over The Fence
BY r. l. NICHOLSON

about it realized that if felt sighted it
was my fault.
For two years had had the opportunity
of knowing this man quite well. We had
lot in common besides our work. We were
about the same age, of apparently COM
parable means and stations in life, and we
both had two daughters. We both had
victory gardens, and we both went fishing
now and then.
If had just taken the time to walk
down to his back fence some evening to
compare our methods of bedding sweet
potatoes or getting rid of bean beetles, or
to discuss the Cards chances of overtak-
ing the Cubs, or to ask him what bait he
was using on bass, we might have hit it
off mighty fine. And his wife might have
been pleasant answer to my wife's prob
lem of fourth at bridge.
We KNEW almost every family up and
down the street, but not this one, and
wondered why.
The answer was that we had just not
made the neighborly effort. Now they were
moving out of our lives and we were both

have no doubt that this scene has been
repeated throughout the country many
thousands of times during the past six
months.
And still we wonder why we have so
much misunderstanding and conflict and
pickering and unrest among ourselves, our
communities, organizations. factions and
parties.
Can it be that it is because we don't
know each other as neighbors? Can it be
that it is because we are not neighbors in
fact as we'll as geographically? Isn't it
possible that it is the unknown that creates
more misunderstanding and mistrust and
friction than the known?
AND isn't it possible that the same prin-
ciples can extend community, organization
and party lines to penetrate international
boundaries?
Just as several thousands of us as indi-
viduals have been associated in the work
of one defense plant, several dozen nations
of us have been banded together for the
larger job of winning war for what we
thought was right Now that it is over so
far as the shooting is concerned. have we
done all that we could as a nation to be
better neighbors to the nation four coun-
tries down the continent, or the second

MODEL PUP
IA 0-Second CIose-up)

FAv0RITE- 'Coquette is my per-
feet model" says William Auerbach-
Levy, the artist who taught her to
pose. ''She holds still for hours,
doesn't talk and, above all, isn't
clock-watcher. Cokey has a graceful
figure and beautiful coloring - fine
to draw and paint
Coquette is dog, a mixture of fox
terrier and whippet, and favorite
in the studios of New York's Wash
ington Square - because, unlike hu-
man models, she never breaks ap-
pointments.
As a pup, Cokey was allowed any
where except on the best couch.
When Auerbach-Levy found her lying
on it one day, the dog guiltily re-
manned motionless. He began sketch
ing her. Thereafter pad and pencil
were always a signal for her to hold
still.
PnGCH-H1TER. Whenever Auer-
bach-Levy wants to work, Cokey is
available. She never moves when she
wants to rest, but gives low, in
formative whine.
Once Cokey had to pinch-hit for
a model who disappointed a class at
the Art Students League where Auer-
bach-Levy was teaching. A hurry call
brought her promptly in a taxi. She
was chalked into position on the
model-stand and held the pose for an
hour without moving. The students
tired frst.
The class had never worked from
an animal before, had been reluctant
to try. However, Betty Halsey did

IN the class that she won four coveted
art prizes.
Pictures of Coquette have hung in
art galleries throughout the country.

EVoR the past four and half years have
IL been working for one of the largest
war-created defense plants in the country.
Spread out over thrty-odd square miles of
rich West Tennessee farmland, it has been
manned by some ten thousand average
American people.
The large majority of these war workers
were native Tennesseeans from within
radius of fifty miles of the plant. But the
rest of us came from everywhere Seattle,

New York, Boston. Akron, Chicago. Lin

and dozens of other cities, states and

Shortly after VI Day this huge plant,
mission accomplished, began to fold up.
Within a few weeks the ten thousand
evaporated to two thousand; another
month saw half of these gone; and ninety
days saw only handful of us left to wind
up the final affairs and store it away. Very
soon, we, too, shall be gone.

.CI0 Wage Committee
Calls Labor Bureau
Data Misleading
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The CIO Wage Research Com
mittee yesterday complained to the
Government that Bureau of Labor
statistics on labor productivity are
misleading and are being used by
industry to Justify refusal to grant
adequate wage increases"
In a letter to Secretary of Labor
Schwellenbach, the CIO said study
by its committee shows "a broad ac-
emulation of evidence that produc-
tivity as whole increased rapidly
during the war, that peacetime pro-
duction in 1916 will be at a level of
productivity about one-quarter above
the level in the last prewar year.
and that productivity will continue
to increase at an accelerated rate.
while the evidence OF large in
creases is conclusive, no one knows
exactly how great the increases have.
been. The Bureau of Labor statistics
/" has completely failed to
measure the immense wartime ad-
vances and to appraise their signifi-
canoe for the immediate postwar
period"
The CIO asserted in a statement
that the Bureau of Labor Statistics
productivity index excludes practi-
cally all the big civilian industries
which were involved in wartime
production and which undoubted-
ly has sizeable increases in pro-
ductivity."
Those opposed to wage increases
have seized upon the Bureau of La
Dor Statistics data" the CIO add
ed, ito prove that production in
civilian industries has not in
creased and that therefore no up.

The organization, in another pub
lication, also declared:

Electrical Workers
Plan WaIkout tuesday
Ps the Associated Press.

Rs the Associated Press.
Neil Brant, Washington repre-
sentative of the CIO United Elec-
trical Workers Union, said last
night the scheduled strike of 200,-
900 workers in the electrical indus
try will begin Tuesday as sched-
uled unless companies involved
make increased wage offers.
Mr.. Brant told newsmen that the
Westinghouse Co. will have to offer
the union an increase of Is cents
an hour, the General Electric Co.
must increase an earlier 10-cent
offer to Is cents, and General Mo-
tors Corp. must follow for its elec-
trical workers the recommendations
of a fact-fnding panel which pro-
posed wage increase of 171a per
cent for auto workers.
Unless these demands are met,
Mr.. Brant said, the electrical work.
ers union will go through with its
strike plans, regardless of the post
ponement of the steel strike. He
emphasized that his conditions in
volve only postponement-not final
settlement-of the walkout.
