1000 u. 5. Planes Put
On Junkheaps in Reich
BY the Assoeioted press

FRANKFURT, Feb. 21. More
than $4,000, ,000, 900 worth of wartime
airpower headed for the junkheaps
today as the American Air Force
stripped and destroyed the first
1000 of 6,249 war planes.
LIT. Gen. John K. Cannon, COM
nanding the American Air Force in
Europe, said these planes either were
war weary. obsolete. or unusable in
future air operations even as reserve
aircraft.
approximately 1900 other aircraft
which might be used economically
for peacetime uses have been turned
over to the surplus property pool
for sale.
An additional $500 aircraft are
being kept as a reserve for the
occupation forces.

Agencies Plan 10 Ease
Clothing Shortage by
Controls, Price Boosts
BY the Associoied Press

The Government is ready to
restore some wartime production
controls-and grant higher prices
to ease the acute shortage of
cotton clothing.
OPA and the Civilian Production
Administration believe this double
barreled program eventually will
boost by about SO per cent the out
put of shirts, shorts, pajamas,
dresses, work clothing and other
scarce garments.
Officials of the two agencies told
reporters late yesterday that despite
price increases to be authorized, the
program will not cost the public
more for clothing in general.
Will Increase Cheaper Goods.
They contended the plan will in
crease the supply of inexpensive
garments, and that in the long run
this will save money for many
families.
To assure greater output of
cheaper clothing, the CPA plans
soon" to reinvoke wartime regu-
lation which required textile mills
to turn out certain types of cotton
fabrics needed for essential gar
ments.
This is the kind of measure Ches-
t ter Bowles, designated as the new
staoilization director, had in mind
when he said few days ago that
price increases will be coupled with
production controls to meet demand
for scarce products.
Plans for Cotton Prices.
The price increase for cotton fab
RIGS will be in two parts:
l. A general increase of about 3la
cents a pound in recognition of
higher parity prices for raw cotton
and to offset recent wage increases.
Mills which did not hike wages will
get only about l cent of this.
| 2. An additional incentive increase
Of 5 per cent to apply on selected
fabrics urgently needed for clothing
and for certain industrial and agri-
cultural purposes.
/ While the agencies sponsoring the
program were unable to estimate
the overall effect of these adjust
ments on retail prices, they said
present ceilings on shirts, for ex-
ample, might be hiked about or
6 cents.
More Shirts Expected.
They made the point. however,
that where only few shirts are
available now at $3.50, the goal of
the new program is to provide a
generous supply at about nickel
more.
1t will take some time, though
The agencies cautioned that effects
Of the program probably won't show
in stores for about three months
Mr.. Bowles, in telling Congress
something about the program be-
fore the formal announcement, said
yesterday the price increases were
designed to "sweeten up" cotton
fabric producers.
Since the revocation Of produc-
ton controls. mills have turned in
creaSingly to less essential but more
profitable fabrics Manufacturers
contended they lost money when
they produced the kind of material
suitable for low-priced clothing.
The Government hopes the price
adjustments and new controls will
wipe out the 40 per cent deficit in
needed fabrics.

Friendship Citizens
Favor Daylight Time
In Forum on WMAL

The Friendship Citizens Associa-
ton went on the air last night as
four of its members expressed their
views on the advantages and dis
advantages of daylight saving time
for the District. At the end of the
half-hour forum, conducted by John
Edwards of the WMAL news staff
the citizens voted in favor of setting
their watches ahead an hour, but
only for the summer.
j. Robert Shaw and E. K.
Bachschmid, speaking for daylight
saving time here, and Mrs. Ruth
Vanier and Guy H. Birdsall, who
spoke against it, broadcast over
WMAL from the auditorium of the
Janney Elementary School at the
associations February meeting.
After three-minute talks, other
members of the citizens group asked
the speakers questions and gave
their own opinions.
More Time for Chores.
Daylight saving time would give
District workingmen an extra hour
to sip mint julep at the end of
the day, or if they're the home
type they could NOV the lawn or do
chores for the wife," Mr.. Shaw said.
The farmers might work from
dawn to dusk each day." he con-
tinued, but we city people spend
most of our summer morns in ped
and we want it to be cool"
"As District resident l have
no VOTE" Mr.. Shaw asserted, and
my request for daylight saving time
IN the summer cannot be considered
democratically by Congress, so 1
make my plea now. over the radio"
Mrs. Vanier. on the other hand,
said 1t took her two weeks to a
month to become adjusted to day
light saving time. My sleep and
appetite are affected" she said,
"and my children don't want to 60
to bed before it is dark. Further
more, 1 am thinking of the farmers.
They can't work when the dew is
heavy on the ground and they have
no way of telling the cows TO give
milk one hour earlier"
Conservation IndOrsed.
Mr.. Bachschmid, who followed Mrs.
Vanier, said: Daylight saving time
in the summer gives a man an extra
hour to play with his children and
to encourage family life. 1t also
means exercise for the working man.
The need for conserving our re-
sources is not over. simply because
the war is over"
The last speaker. Mr.. Birdsall, also
pointed out that moving the clocks
up an hour would work severe hard
ships on the farmers in the nearby
areas. "A family which ordinarily
gets up at $50 am. would really be
getting up at 4:30. 1t would mean
going to work in the dark"
In the business meeting which re-
sumed after the broadcast, the as
ISOLATION passed a resolution oppos-
ing the increase of any taxes on
District citizens and asked that the
Federal Government increase it's
payment toward the Districts an
nual operating costs.

ral And in the long run, nobody will be any better off. Many peo- pie who do not share in the wage boosts will be worse off.
 Eventually, these strike threats may have beneficial effect. An other wave of walkouts should give Congress enough political courage to enact a sound, long range national labor policy to put an end to industrial anarchy and establish a peaceful and orderly method for adjudicating all labor disputes. One reason public Senti- ment is so strong now for change in national administration is the failure of the Truman regime to do anything to stop the orgy of strikes which has been paralyzing

The CIO automobile workers are demanding wage increase from the Chrysler corporation President Murray of the CIO steel workers has served notice they will seek wage boost as soon as possible.

The unions would be just consistent if they cancelled it because it raining in Florida That has more bearing relief requirements in Alaska than do the negotiations in the maritime strike.
 While the unions have shown their thinking to be tickle and hard to grasp handful of quicksilver the operators have distinguished themselves less
 The only mention of them in the press reports from day to day in connection with their refusal to negot ate for settlement. Their line of reasoning is not pained but it may have connection with the tional election Nov. and the government, involved through the War Shipping Administration, considers the strike too hot for action before the voting
 But it is also we'll known that the of the idle steamships making just much money during the strike they would during operations. G. w.

Where Do We Get Off At?
Anchorage Daily Times)

Week after week passes without any constructive de- veopment in the maritime strike which has held Alaska trade and commerce Tn checkmate for about two months.
 Instead of solution of the strike problems Alaskans have had to look for some kind of agreement which would permit relief ships to bring at least some of the essentials of life But here their hopes have been spurred and then dashed by the anctcS of the striking unions and the ship operators
 From the point of view of the Alaskans it looks as though the goats The ship operators don't care whether they do business not The unions have their neck bowed their battle with the operators that they are willing to stand pat indefinitely rather than give in
 Where does that leave Alaska? Where do we get off at? We merely the patien-helpless on the operat ing table while the doctors fight among themselves
 The working in Alaska is required by union rules to refrain from union criticism in public He finds it diff ficut to follow this rule when his employment is tailed because of the deadlock in Seattle his income is shrinking, his living costs advancing because of the item of lair freight, the safety of his family and his friends is eopardzed by lack of many essentials to civilized livelihood
 The small business finds his overhead costs go- ing on as usual while his business tapers for lack of stock his indebtedness because of the accumula tion of merchandise Seattle which he cannot bring north to sell.
 It is no wonder that Aaskans to the conclusion that they merely the pawns" of Seattle and they don't like it. They are helpless to sove the problems that affect the Territory. They have been unable thus far to find way avoid the entangement of looking to other channels for supplies.
 Last October IF the press reports quoted Burt Nelson chairman of the Northwest Committee Maritime Unity saying, We not strike against the peo pie of Alaska, but strike against the shipown and stevedoring companies.
 That encouraging, to say the least But how can MT. Nelson justify his unions refusal to clear ship ment of chlorine to the city of Anchorage for in pur flying the municipal water supply?
 If the unions not striking against the people of Alaska why should they seek to deprive them of the chemical to purify their water? Does the union want residents of Anchorage to be compelled to drink tamnated water? Would that help their strike cause?
 Shippers in Ketchikan and Juneau made arrange ments to freight to Southeastern ports by barg| from Prince Rupert. This brought the statement from the Sailors Union that they regarded it at tempt to bypass American labor with nonunion labor Thus resistance to this proposal to repensh the sup plies in Southeastern Alaska from union head quarters.

ITO day it takes about 50 per Zen more manhours to turn out an aa, tomobile than it did before ttN war, and unit productivity, mea, sured in hourly or daily output per man, has slipped in almos every line of productive endea. vor."
 The decision in Washington, D C. to go slow on plans for creation of a United Nations food board with wide controls over produc. ton, prices and distribution is wise. Some government officials and farm leaders are fearful thA establishment of such a body witt the powers which have been pro. posed for it might result in inter national dictation of farm produc ton policies in the United States and other countries. That un doubtedly is what some of the pro motors of this plan have in mind It is all very well for theorists tt talk about stabilizing farm pro duction so there will be neither or shortages. But agri cultural output is not something which can be turned on or off likt a water faucet at the will of bu reaucrats either national or inter, national.
 Nobody should be surprised al the Communist victory in the Bull, garian elections. If the Reds could not win there after all the tiW and opportunities the Russians have had to organize that country politically, they couldn't win any where. With Bulgaria under the Soviet thumb, and Communist die tatorshfp in the saddle, the cleo tion was anything but a free cleo ton.
 A constitutional test of the Dal- las, Tex, city ordinance prohibit! ing labor unions from organizing municipal employees is assured. The CIO is preparing to appeal'to the state supreme court from low CT court decisions upholding the measure. Ultimately, the United States Supreme Court will have to decide the issues. This controversy is of vital interest to every city in the country. As Mayor Rogers ot Dallas says, "when the time comes that a city cannot legislate the em- ployment conditions of it's owl workers, then we have lost oul form of government"
