The shape in which the price
control bill will go to President
Truman may be known late to-
day.
House and Senate conferees went
into Saturday session with Ma jor-
1ty Leader Barkley expressing hope
they would settle all remaining diff
fsrences by evening and get a final
compromise draft ready for approval
by both houses next week.
Although the conferees have
adopted a policy of not officially
announcing their decisions piece
meal, it is understood they agreed
yesterday on a formula for allowing
manufacturers to add increased costs
to their basic 1941 prices in any
particular field.
1t is a foregone conclusion the
bill that finally emerges from con-
ference will not satisfy price control
officials, because both houses placed
drastic curbs on existing OPA pow
ers. The only question is how much
life administration leaders will be
able to breathe back into the law
in the process of adjusting House
and Senate differences.
Differences Cited.
For example, the House proposed
to end subsidies on meat, which
would pave the way for a higher
price level. The Senate, however.
voted to end all price control
over meat, poultry, dairy products,
petroleum and leaf tobacco This is
one of the major issues awaiting
settlement today.
The allowance for increased man.
ufacturing costs agreed to yesterday
is a modification of an amendment
by Senator Taft, Republican, of
Ohio. 1t provides that the increased
cost passed along to the wholesaler,
retailer and consumer must be the
actual money increase, not a per-
centage increase The conferees are
reported to have made an exception
for industries in which OPA already
permits percentage markups and
discounts. In these cases, the method
which produces the higher price
could be used
On the Senate floor late yester-
day the administration permitted
amendment of legislation extending
the Second War Powers Act in a
way which Senator Barley con-
ceded meant that all chips were
down on extending the OPA law.
Ceilings Barred in Act.
The amendment, sponsored by
Senator Moore, Republican. of Ok
lahoma, bitter foe of OPA, stipu-
lates that nothing in the war pow
ers extender shall be construed as
granting authority to establish price
ceilings.
Senator Barkley told reporters
this meant there would be no legal
basis for price ceilings if the OPA
extension bill fails of enactment. He
added the administration had never
relied on the War Powers Act for
that authority, anyway.
The Senate, without a record
vote, approved continuation of the
war powers legislation, in modified
form, for another nine months ex-
piring March 81, 1947. The legisla-
ton is the basis for the Govern
ment's authority to ration COM
modities in short supply and fix
priorities for their purchase.
The measure already had passed
the House, but it was sent back
there for concurrence in the Moore
amendment.

Drivers Threat 10 Call
District Taxi Strike
Rebuffed by Mcmillan

He Tells Delegation

Chairman Mcmillan of the
House District Committee today
coolly rebuffed the threat of
taxicab drivers to strike next
week unless something is done
at once to limit the number of
cab licenses here.
A seven-man group, headed by
Edwin A. Glenn, former president
Of the United Taxicab Drivers, Inc,
and John Rogers Peters, president
Of the organization, have sched-
uled a mass meeting of drivers,
owners and feet operators at 8 pm.
next Tuesday to consider stoppage
of cab service. &c..
1t was this group which conferred
with Mr.. Mcmillan today and voiced
the new strike threat.
Won't BE Stampeded.
Mr.. Mcmillan said he reminded
them that the House District Com
mittee had given two days to q
full hearing on the cab question.
when they started to read the
riot act to me, told them did
not know what they were going
to do. but that we were not going
to be stampeded," Mr.. Mcmillan
said.
He added that the committee
would stick by its original plan to
consider no legislation pertaining to
the cab business before next Janu-
ary.
After the conference, Mr.. Peters
said Mr.. Mcmillan was sticking
with the old idea that cab drivers
should work for 80 cents an hour" :"
I'VE are equally determined that
some 5000 drivers whose families
total 10000 people, will not continue
to work for one-third the salaries
OF streetcar motormen.
Strike Held Certain.
"It Is a 1,000-to-1 bet that the
cab drivers will strike after their
meeting Tuesday at 523 New Jersey
avenue NV" Mr.. Peters added
Mr.. Peters said cab drivers could
not continue to operate under pres
ent conditions, with cost of mainten-
ance up 400 per cent. He scored
the Public Utilities Commission for
failure to act after listening to a
few psychopathics who claimed to
represent the public"
Mr.. Peters contended the seven
man committee represented 5000
or 1000 drivers" who would strike
next week unless I'VE get some ac-
tion now. not next January"
He said the seven-man group
represents 'the cream of the in
dustry" and includes veterans, cab
owners and Local 935, Taxicab OPP
orators, Drivers and Garage En-
ployes (AFL). An estimate of $500
cabs and 5000 drivers here now
was made and Mr.. Peters declared
that the group has more than a
majority of them. He placed mem
bership Of his own organization at
1000.
The hack inspectors Office said
today that between $500 and 5000
taxicabs are registered in Washing
ton. During the war there were
5,295 taxis here but since We day,
some $500 have been added.

Telephone Firm Hires Four
As Switchboard Operators

DETROIT = (ANP) - Jim
crowism was dealt another crush
ing blow when four Negro girls
were accepted as switchboard
operators in the local central Of
fees of the Michigan Bell Tele-
phone company here last week.
The four girls assigned were the
Misses Lillian Campbell, Jacquel-
inc Oliver, Wilhelmina Irwin, and
Josephine Taylor.
According to a company spokes-
man the employment Of Negro
operators is in line with the com
pany's "overall objective to en-
ploy qualified applicants regard
less of race, creed, or color in
all offices where we need new
employees"
Previously, opportunities for
Negroes in the company were
limited to the so-called white
collar jobs, such as business office
and public contract employees,
typists, clerks, and skilled work
men. Company officials estimate
that between 200 and 800 Negroes
are on the company's payroll,
though personnel records of white
and colored employees are not kept
separate.
1t is said that some employees
are members of the Telephone
Pioneers of America, an organi-
zation comprised of men and wo-
men who have been in the tele-
phone business for Fl or more
years.
The official said hiring of Ne
groes as switchboard operators in
other offices Of the company's
territory would be made as soor
as the need for help arose anc
as applicants qualified for duties
of switchboard operators. He
disclosed that no arbitrary limita.
ton is placed on the number Of
Negroes it will employ in this
capacity.
Selection Of operators for posi-
tons will be determined by inter
views which will consider aptitude
age, education, height, reach
health and general fitness for work
The minimum educational require
ment is said to be fixed at high
school graduation level.
The same salary and training
opportunities will be accorded Ne
gro employees, and they will use
the same facilities as whites. In
the matter of compensation, job
classification will be the control
ling factor for wages or salaries.

Peace Words and War Action

lot Of brass hats will have to
quit sounding off, and strutting
and go to work. A climate of
peace is not conducive to colossal
military machines which initiate
the Golfers Of the super profteers.
Now since it has been pointed
out that this nation is not mill
tarily weak but strong, what
should the people Of this nation
be doing in order to restore men
tai sanity to our world and GER
tainly, to save ourselves?
The people should begin exert
ing a telling voice in our foreign
and military affairs with much
the same zeal that Henry A. Wal
lace is now demonstrating.
In word, we must make sure
we are appraised of all viewpoints
before growing morbidly emotion
al. Past history has been re-
morsefully instructive especially
about this question of Brightness
aad wrongness.
One of the most arresting and
profound statements that I have
encountered is G. B. Chisholm's
article in the February Journal
of Psychiatry dealing with CEN
during Peace"
DR.. Chisholm is Deputy Medi-
cal Director Of Canada, and has
given profound and courageous
study to the why Of war. He at
tacks the erroneous concepts OF
fright and wrong" as a motivation
to war. Most times, that kind OF
motivation has no basis in fact
For did not elements in this coun-
try and England help to build uT
Japan and Germany's military
machines?
The Kilgore Senate Committees
cartel Investigations, which are
available to the public, documents
that fact.
DR.. Chisholm, as a psychiatrist
in plain words, says that our WORLD
is mentally off base-what with
two world wars and the threat Of
a third, in a generation.
Many of us had never thought
of ourselves in such a role. Yet
whenever we permit war mongers
and propagandists to create con
ditions, over period, that per
nit of no alternative other thar
war, we contribute by indifference
to the war system and its propel
ling neuroses.
DR.. Chisholm makes the valiC
point that we are mentally un
sound to justify defending exces
sive wealth which could be useC
to help prevent "have nots" from
starving.

By LESTER E. BROWN

It is incredible that so much
war preparation is now going on
+ while using the language of peace.
Typical Of this disturbing stu
alton is Secretary Of War Patter-
sons recent American Legion
Convention speech, in which the
point was made that our military
weakness will not contribute to
peace.
So the War Secretary asked for
more manpower, proposing that
such could be recruited from the
1920 year old age bracket.
Not to protest vehemently, Pat
terson's contention would be a
gross and degrading contribution
to a resumption of devastating
world wars. And very probably
the next war, if we permit it to
come, will wipe out civilization"
on this planet.
There must be no mistake about
the fact that great military might
brings on wars. We must remem-
Der that it is the consuming
purpose of military brass to do a
good job in promoting the war
system-thanks also to their civil
confederates among the financial
barons behind the scenes.
The evidence is overwhelming
that big, strutting military setups
grow FESTIVE with nothing to do, /"
once the hierarchy feels that it is
"ready" to win any war immedi-
ately in prospect.
The melting incidents can cas-
lily be conjured up, and the brass
can once again feel its unre-
strain Importance as "sons Of
destiny"
What of the present? To be
precise, Patterson's depletion q
this nations present military
weakness does not bear up under
the oft-recurring official reports
regarding the unprecedented
strength of our navy, air force
and quality of army weapons, no
to speak Of our stockpile of atom
bombs and bacteriologicals which
allegedly are potent enough tx
destroy all organic life on thi'
planet.
Psychologically, it is paleolithi'
knowledge that people have to b
sold on war before they can pu
their emotional and sacrifcia
teeth into it.
This business of selling us an
other war, possibly with Russia
has been the demented preoccu
patton of the war mongers in thi
nation and Britain ever since v,
Day.

Blonde Aviatrix Arranged Suicide
Plane Project for German Victory
Written Exclusively
For WNU Features

Tests on a Messerschmitt 1913, to
be launched from the back of Dor
nier PIT in fight were completed in
April, 1914. When it became appar-
ent, however, that production in any
quantity could not begin for months,
it was decided that the vi "buzz
bomb" should be altered sufficiently
to take care of the project.
Perilous Test Flights.
A pilots compartment was in
stalled in the vi, and other small
notifications made, and then it was
tested. There was a high fatality
rate among the test pilots, but
Reitsch came through and was con-
WINGED that this was the weapon
that could be used. The particular
danger in testing these planes was
in landing them, whether as gliders
or with a power unit, because OF
the speed and angle at which they
came in. Ship targets were simu-
lated by colored smoke bombs on
the ground and dives and APP
proaches were made to test angles
and necessary speeds. An intricate
aiming device was developed. The
most important thing that had to be
done carefully and accurately was
to determine the distance from the
ship that the vi was supposed to
enter the water. The size and weight
of the ship had to be judged exact
ly. BY sliding scale on the appara-
tus before him, the pilot was able
to select his proper angle and main
tain it correctly until his plane en-
tered the water. The dive toward
the water at speed probably great
er than 528 miles an hour was to
disintegrate the vi and give the
necessary impetus to the torpedo to
continue on through the water until
1t reached a certain position, when
the time fuse would automatically
set off.
But the Nazi suicide squad never
got into action. Even the technical
development was not fully complete
when the war ended, to say nothing
of production that would have put
the weapon into action.
Reitsch lays the failure to get the
project into operation, as well as
all other failures of German air
power, to Goering. She says shat
the spirit with which Goering had
infused the Luftwaffe was detrimen-
tai to our project was well known
to all of us. We needed strong lead
ership, tempered with an idealism
that matched our own. Most of all
we needed a leader who saw the
present military situation March,

BUSINESS as we ourselves saw it."
