Advertisers
Told To Tell
Whole Truth

WASHINGTON, October 10
(LPA)-The fair name of the
Dionne quintuplets received
protection from an unexpected
source this week when the Fed
eral Trade commission ordered
the Langendorf United Bakeries,
Inc. of San Francisco to stop
advertising that it had been ap-
pointed official baker for 81
quints, and that its "Hol.T
brand bread is par of their diet.
The order against this COM
pany contained a lot of other
"don'ts," too. The company was
told not to say that its bread
was better than that of its COM
petitors, because it isn't, and not
to say that its bread would help
you reduce, because it doesn't.
Also involved with the FTC
this week in advertising cases
were:
Feeds To Pens
1.-The Purina Ralston Com
pany of st. Louis, which had
advertised that its chicken feed
would make chickens live
longer, grow bigger, and lay
eggs that would hatch into bet
ter chicks.
2-"WiSpese," a brand name
of girdles sold by Vawne Foun-
dations of New York. The ETC
says they are not full-fashioned,
as claimed, and that they are
rayon, which was not claimed.
3-"Silk Skin" a corset and
foundation garm ent brand
name, used by the Amasia I'm
porting Company of New York.
The FTC says that some of the
garments contained less than 20
per cent silk and some none at
all.
1.-The usual assortment of
ointments, and other drugs that
claimed to cure, relieve, and
otherwise affect all kinds of
troubles. When pinned right
down by the Commission, the
companies admitted the claims
we're false and promised not to
make the same claims again.
Scheduled for hearings
ing the next week are COM
plants by the Commission
against: Phillip Morris Cagar-
cites, for Misrepresentation;
Conklin Pen Co. and Waterman
Pen Co. both also for misrepre-
sentation; and a lot of other,
lesser known companies for the
same thing.
Evidently, it's still a good
idea for the buyer to beware.

Utility Forces
PITTSBURGH Strike

PITTS B URG H (LPA) -
The stubborn refusal of the
Duquesne Light Co. to negotiate
with the Independent Union of
Duquesne Light Workers while
insisting on arbitration was held
responsible last week for contin-
uation of the costly power strike
which kept the city in almost
complete darkness.
The tie-up became increasing
ly critical as employees of the
Allegheny County Steam Heat
ing Co, a Duquesne subsidiary
supplying heat to 384 downtown
hotels and office buildings, re-
fused to violate the independent
unions picket lines.
Hotel employees were also on
strike and registrations were
stopped at eight hotels while at
others guests were without ele-
vator service, hot water and e.
lectricity during the day.
An estimated 10000 persons
were out of work and U. S. EN-
ployment Offices were crowded
with thousands seeking unem-
ployment compensation.
The independent unions strike
was pledged full support, mean
while, by its foremost rival, the
CIO Electrical Workers, which
condemned the company's refus-
al to negotiate and declared that
if the strike were broken it
would be a setback for all or
ganized workers"

Dairy Prices
Continue Rise

WASHINGTON, October 10
(LPA)-Increases in prices of
dairy products - butter, cheese
and evaporated milk = set the
pace for a general rise in food
prices during the last week al
September, the Bureau of Labor
Statistics reported on the basis
Increases in food coss of from
of spot checks on II foods in IL
major cities.
.0.2%o to 2.7% were reported,
with rises of over 30 in one
week hitting housewives in New
York, Chicago and Cleveland.
In the face of sharp rises in
dairy products prices, the Price
Decontrol Board is again consid-
ering placing milk and milk pro-
ducts under controls. Action

week, and industry spokesmen
have expressed confidence that
PDB will leave things as they
are.

.OPA Raises
More Prices

WASHINGTON, Oct. 9 (LPA)
We had $6O,O00,OO0 added on
to our grocery bills for the next
twelve months by an OPA ac-
ton taken last week. The retail
price of oleomargarine, shorten
ing mayonnaise and cooking and
salad oils was raised an average
of 212 cents a pound.
The oil price boost was order
ed because of action taken by
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son under the powers granted
him by Congress to set prices OF
agricultural food products.
Price ceilings for chocolate
products were raised 27% last
week by OPA order. This COW
ers chocolate bars (Which will
probably be reduced this much
in size to keep the traditional
nickel price,, cocoa, chocolate
syrup, and cocoa butter which
was raised 13c a pound.
Completely decontrolled by
order of Secretary of Agricul-
ture Anderson, using the powers
given him by Congress, were;
canned corn, canned fruit, cam
ed fruit juice and nectars, oat
cereals, rum liquors and alcohol
ic specialties, fresh and frozen
salmon.

S+0+eS TO Run
USES Offices

WASHlNGION, OCTOBER lU
Neutrality-suspicious. and poll
cies under which local United
States Employment Service Of
fices will be returned to the
states on Nov. 16, were an
nounced last week by Secretary
of Labor Lewis SchWellenbach.
A rider, which was attached
to the Labor Dept Appropria-
ton Bill in the closing days of
the last session of Congress, pro-
Vides for the return of the USES
offices to the states and for the
financing of their operation by
the federal government.
Despite the requests and the
pressure of labor and minority
group organizations, the USES
minority groups policy is en-
bodied in weak statement of
principle which reads: ITO pro-
mote equitable employment op-
portunities for all applicants on
the basis of their skills, abilities
and job qualifications, and to
make definite and continuous con-
tact with employers with whom
relationships are established, to
the end that their hiring speci-
fications are based exclusively
on job performance factors"
LabF organizations had re-
Iquested that specific clause be
inserted to protect minority
groups, and that the state en-
ployment offices refuse to accept
or handle discriminatory orders.
They wanted both to be includ-
ed in the regulations returning
the USES to the states.
More hopeful from labor's
point of view were the encour-
aging reports issued about the
successful working out of the
lno-segregation no-discrimination
policy of the District of Colum-
bia USES office.

Strikes Are
Increasing

WASHINGTON, October 10
(LPA)-More than half as many
u. S. workers were on strike
during the first eight months of
1916 as were idle because of la
bor-management disputes during
the four-year period of the war,
Bureau of Labor Statistics fig
ures disclosed last week.
From January through August
of this year 3,425, 900 went on
strike, while during the war
period from Dec. 8, 1941 to Aug.
IA, 1945, the figure was 6,744,-
900. During the war period
there was a total of 14,731
strikes compared to 1925 report
ed during the first eight months
of this year.
The BIS study compared the
3 ,425,000 workers out this year
with 100000 during the same
period in 1945, 1893, 100 in 1914
and 0l7,OOO for the l935-39 aV-
erage.
The Bureau found that man
days lost in August "were some
what greater than in July, but
less than in any other proceed
ing month of 1946. New stop
pages reported for August total
ed 500, the highest on record for
any month since September
1945." Including disputes which
began in previous months, ap-
proximately 100000 workers
were involved in $50 stoppages
in effect some time during the
month of August,

WASHINGTON, October 10
(LPA)-The second president of
a national CIO union to resign

cause of attempts by Commit :
lists to take over the union was
recorded here last week when
Frank r. McGrath, head of the
United Shoe Workers-CIO step
ped down from the post he had
held since the union was born
in 1899.
Charging that his opponents
had offered him $4,000 if he
would surrender his position,
McGrath said he was $50 thor
oughly disgusted with the dirty
work of the Communists within
our union that here is nothing

vast majority of the USW's co.
900 members were bitterly op-
posed to Communism" and urg-
ed the unions executive boaC

workers in his country, free of
Communism, fascism and Ku

in the so year history of the

NLRB Orders
Papers TO Return
Guild Leaders

WASHINGTON, October A.
(LPA) - The puzzle of who
owns the four newspapers in
this town - and thus who was
discriminating against union
on the papers-was fl
nally cleared up last week by
a trial examiner for the NLRB.
Sherman H. Bowles and the
companies publishing the Re-
publican, the Union and the
Daily News, were ordered to re-
instate three leaders of the
American Newspaper Guild
CIO, and to grant wage in
creases to two officers of the
Guild. In addition Bowles was
ordered to bargain with the
Guild as representative of all
editorial employees.
The trial examiners report
may end a farcical business
which found the union unable
to find the owner of the four
dailieS here. BoWles refused TO
take responsibility for bargain
ing with the Guild, which had
been certified in an NLRB cleo
ton, and proceeded to drive out
of their jobs three veteran
newspapermen because of their
union activities.
t hre e publishing companies
which operated the papers were
dissolved in 1914, and stock
holders who were not manaaing
editors-or former managing
editors - of the papers were
never told of the dissolution.

guinea pigs in this terrible ex-
pertinent.
Army Bombed Hiroshima
The army decided that the
scientists should stick to- the
business of inventing; what
happened to the inventions was
none of their business. But it
was our army that made the de-
cision, not the scientists.
So, came Hiroshima.
There has been running in
some of the magazines and
newspapers the story of what
happened in Hiroshima when
the Bomb fell. The story is like
one of the current horror
movies. It starts out quietly and
peacefully. That is, as quiet and
as peaceful as any place is after
the signal has warned you of
approaching planes, and then
given you the "all clear" again.
Then, suddenly, flash, fol-
lowed by intense, bitter, spread
ing horror. The horror of peo-
pie dying suddenly, or dying
slowly. Some dying in silent
dismay, others mixing the name
of their god with the bloody
screams on their lips. Dying,
living, and suffering, not in the
tumult and uproar of battle,
but in the mysterious horror OF
an unnamed miracle.
That was the bomb Of Hiro-
shima. Like a horror movie, but
different too. Because you leave
the movie knowing it wasn't
true. The Hiroshima story
doesn't end that way. You know
that this one was true.
That was the story in the back
of my mind when | read abou
the report of the atomic sci
lists. Technically, they said
this doesn't. have to happer
again. / hope that it was in tht
minds of the UN Commission
ers, too, when they sat down t
figure out how, politically,
wouldn't ever happen again.

German all-out war effort coul
This thought has been in the
minds of a lot of people during
the long debate about the
atomic bomb. Suppose the
know-how is turned over to all
countries for peaceful use. Sup
pose all countries agree not to
use this great, powerful force
for war. How can anybody be
sure what happened in the sew
ing machine factories of Ger
many won't happen again in the
new war-mad country?
Worse With Atomic Bombs
The situation is much worse,
as a matter of fact, in the case
of atomic energy. Even a news
paper columnist can tell the diff
ference between a sewing ma
chine and a machine gun. But
the scientists have told US how
hard it would be to be sure that
atomic energy was not being
stored up in little bombs instead
of being sent out around the
countryside to turn the wheels
of industry.
There was very serious ques-
ton if the job could be done
at all.
The atomic energy commits
sion of the United Nations
asked some scientists to find the
answer to that question. Twelve
top scientists, each one repre-
senting a different country,
went to work on it. Their an
swer, given recently to the COM
mission, Was-yes.
Yes, that is, technically. 1t is
possible they said, to watch the
mining of the ore and every
other step in the process of pro
ducing atomic energy to see thai
the energy does not go into these
little packages Of annihilatior
called atomic bombs.
Technically. Politically, the
scientists didn't know. They
didn't know whether the ma
tions of the world were ready
to work out the kind of inter
national arrangements under
which this technical contro
would be given a chance Il
operate.
Science Ahead of Control

how little progress we have
