STALIN QUOTES BIBLE

Senator Claude Pepper of Florida, just returned from a lengthy tour of Europe, had man-to-man talk with Joe Stalin.
 At one point during their con- versation, Stalin told the Florida Senator that he realized there was strong opposition to the Soviet Government among certain ele- ments of the American press and people, but that this wouldn't deter his efforts to improve mutual rela- tions.
 "As Christ said" Stalin remarked, Seek and ye shall find" a strange remark coming from a man supposed to be un-Godly

 shali's letter to Governor Dewey telling how we were cracking Japanese and German codes, every major government has been chang ing it's codes almost daily. In addi- tion, the best crytographers in the world are now hard at work in every capital trying to figure out new unbreakable codes. All suspect we have broken their codes too. The row between Mayor Maestri of New Orleans and Jimy Comiskey was patched up at a secret caucus. This means that Maestri will be reelected Mayor of New Orleans. Basis for the settlement was that Comiskey would name the criminal sheriff. Relations between the White House and the State Department sometimes get so irritated that Truman's friends facetiously sug- gest he appoint an ambassador of his own to the State Department. Remarked one White House at tache: The only way we hear any thing about whats going on in the State Department is when they send it over to be signed by the President" President Truman is so concerned about his relations with Progressives and Liberals that he is appointing a special liaison group of Liberal Congressman to confer with him regularly.

When the Rotary club spOn- sored, on behalf of the citizens of Kodiak, the gift of a half- mounted Kodiak bear to be placed aboard the s s Kodiak, named after our city, we used to wonder what would become of the bear.
 The huge animal, killed by Harry Christopherson and Pat Cannon, was a problem to those aboard ship, because there was no place big enough for It. It was finally placed in a compan- ioEway, where one horny paw proved a danger to hurrying sea- men and had to be creased in a protective bag. The paw, not the seaman. Thus did the bear trav- el during the war years, as the Kodiak Victory earned vital war cargoes to ports in the South Pa cific.
 Now the Kodiak Victory has been sold, and we presume the bear goes with the ship. ben Kraft tells us he read in his air mail edition of the Seattle Fl that the Maritime Commission has sold the vessel to a trading company operating in Argentina.
 Ironically, Argentina includes ] no bears of any kind among It's fauna. So they should appreci- ate the Kodiak sample.

u. 5. Discriminates in
Labor Wage System
By Robert J. Lewis

Washington home builders last
night accused the Labor Depart
ment's Wage Adjustment Board OF
outlawing a wage system for home
builders which the Federal and Dis
!trict governments have had in ef-
feet since 1923.
Ernest F. Henry, executive direc-
tor of the Home Builders Associa-
ton of Metropolitan Washington,
said he had filed an appeal from
the boards ruling with the National
Wage Sterilization Board.
In requiring single rates" of pay
for construction employees rather
than a graded rate system such as
Wes requested by home builders in
petition filed in January. Mr..
Henry said the Wage Adjustment
Board acted in a manner which
amounted to IAN arbitrary, capri
cious and unreasonable abuse of
power"
Would Grade Trades.
Under the single rate" system
all carpenters, for example, would
be paid an identical rate, he point
ed out. whereas under a graded sys-
tenn there would be a number Of
subclassihcations, ranging from car
lpenters helper, Junior carpenter
and carpenter to senior carpenter.
Filing of the appeal was the latest
development in long-drawn out
controversy between home builders
and the Wage Adjustment Board
which started when the home build
ers petitioned to be permitted to pay
a wage scale up to" the so-called
"A" scale then in effect for COM
mercial, industrial and Government
construction.
Starting in October 1912, home
builders were permitted to pay only
the so-called "B" scale, which pro-
vided a lower hourly rate than the
"a" scale.
Home builders sought to pay "up
to" the higher rate in order to be
able to compete with nonresident
tial builders in the present scarce
labor market, and in order not to
violate the Sterilization Act of 1912
The Wage Adjustment Board In
February refused to permit pay
ments up to" the "a" scale, but
authorized single rates at the "a
scale level
/ Reconsideration Asked.
Declaring that the requirement OF
single rates would oblige the in
dustry to abandon its customary
grading" of employees according tc
duties, skills and responsibilities,
home builders requested a reconsid-

second, how many had been dis
