  Not Enthused OUer IncreGsa

Waterbury reStaurateurs Wno still have meat on hand comment ed today that the 15 percent boost permitted by the OPA on meat dishes was better than nothing, but they weren't very enthusiastic about putting it in force.
 What we want first is more meat" was the general comment.
 Several restaurant owners whose meat supplies are exhausted or nearly exhausted had no enthusi- asm for the latest OPA action, or for the OPA.
 The meat-dish price increases are scheduled to take effect Thursday, but, some restaurant owners indi- cated they won't make increases on all items.
 Boosts Certain Dishes
 Price increases will affect res- taurant business" the manager of the Front Page Restaurant stated, adding that his establishment will not make general increases, but will boost only certain dishes. What we're more interested in is getting meat supplies" he commented.
 The Front Page Restaurant stored away large supply of meat before the shortage hit, and it is sufficient to last "a few more weeks" it was disclosed
 Fred Drescher, manager of Dres- cher's, commented, The gesture is fine but there's no meat to sell" He said the increase permitted by the OPA was justifiable, and added but they haven't done anything yet to ease the program for obtaining meat"
 Drescher's is featuring chicken dinners on it's menu currently. No Change at DiOriO's Louis DiPietro, manager of Di- orio's Restaurant, said his reStau- rant will make no price changes for the present time. He' said people feel they're paying enough already and we don't want to take advan- tage of them"
 On the meat shortage, he com mented, "If we did away with the OPA there would be meat again. He said the restaurant served veal and pot roast Thursday, and has some meat on hand for today. The restaurant has it's own chicken farm, so there is plenty of poultry the manager stated.
 Blackmarket activity was decrieo by the spokesman of one large es- tablShment. If meat gets into the black market it's going to be pretty bad for restaurants" he said point. ing out that the Is per cent boost won't show at all.
 l Managers of some luncheonettel were reported considering raising sandwich prices five or ten cents but others said they planned no ac. ton at the present time. Little Meat Here
 Some meat was obtainable a markets yesterday and today, witt long lines forming as soon as wort spread.

 For Arn7istice Day

Armlstice Day closing of Water bury stores and factories is still in the stage of informal discussion.
 Queries among store and factory owners shows uncertainty about eel ebrating Nov. II. The veterans last night voted to hold a parade on Monday, Nov. II, proceeding on the theory that the day would be a general holiday for the city.
 It is most probable that formal discussions will be held in the fu- ture to decide the question of whether to close stores and plants for the day or not.

NeUer Smell Same
By FREDERICK OTHMAN

Washington, Jan. 12 - (UP) - You've got to smell Joe Turner's Wrestling Emporium yourself to be- lieve it.
 Mingling with the odors of lina- ment and six-cent cigar smoke in his mecca of mayhem today are the aromas of frenzy, ecstacy, cobra, shocking, white shoulders, new horizons, tabu, jet, night flight, black panther, devastating, tempta- tion, whisper, surrender, blue even- ing, my sin, isrrocco,, intoxication, moment upreme, joy, night of love, and a couple of squirts of verbena.
 This is the doggondest combina- tion of smells ever sniffed by Joe in a lifetime as impressario for the two-legged pachyderms. He doubts if his place ever will smell natural again. What Joe did was rent the joint to the Capitals 5000 telephone operators for their continuous meeting. of you want to call this strike, it's okay with the girls.)
 Smells Got Sweeter
 CThey surged through the lobby, ignored the pleas of the lady sub chieftains to stop showing, crumpled the toes of the shoes of mere men like me, and rushed inside for seats around what We sports writers call the squared circle. They smelled wonderful; each one sweeter than the last.
 The night before Joe had pre- sented a contest between Two-Ton Levy (who really weighs only 600 pounds) and Strangler Abe Finkel- stein; Two-Ton won by tripping the Strangler and sitting on him. Joe's helpers had swept away the debris and into the ring climbed the only beautiful union leader I ever knew, the curvaceious Mrs. Mary Gan non, president of the Washington Telephone Traffic Union. Mrs. Gan non would be a ringer for Hedy La marr if she'd lose about i5 pounds.
 She and her assistants made such ringing denunciations of the Ches- apeake and Potomac Telephone Company that could hear 'em out side. It was a private meeting, see and reporters weren't allowed.
 Anyway, Mrs. Cannon sent out word after an hour that the air was so blsue she couldn't see the au- dience.
 Anything to ObIige
 You know how women are. They smoke too many cigarets. Joe turn ed on his ventilators.
 I gues tshey needed oil. They went calump-clump-clump; Mrs Cannon asid she couldn't heai herself think. Joe pulled the switch Anything to oblige a lady.
 Tn another 30 minutes Mrs Cannon, who wore a pale gray dresi with e diamond sunburst on the bosom, bounced out the swinging doors and announced that the strike was continuing. Then she did ar amazing thing.

Advertisinq SeIIU.S. SaIesmen Hear
 Manufacturer

Boston, Jan. l2-(UP)-Advertis- ing must sell the entire American system of individual enterprise in addition to individual products, ex- ecutive vice-president Charles Luckman of the Lever Brothers Company, of Cambridge, said to- day.
 Speaking before the 7th annual New England Sales Management conference, Luckman said;
 Advertising can surely influence public opinion in behalf of the Am erican way of life. That is the next great task that lies ahead of adver- Using, and of advertising men and women.
 Most of us have been schooled for years in the rougher art of Sel- ling individual businesses and braided products, and we may need a gentler touch than we now pos sesS to discharge our new responsi- bilitieS.
 "The way to begin is clear. let advertising proclaim the honesty of its purpose.
 Earlier, president William K. Jackson of the Boston Chamber of Commerce said the high quality of American living standards creates
 hazard for stable employment because of possible consumer-de- mand fluctuations. He said:
 Because of the amazing power to produce which our industries have manifested, we can be assur- ed of sufficiently large surplus of goods to permit these fiuctua- tionS. It is at this point that the sales organizations must take over and seek to maintain distribu- tion at a comparatively high rate.
 Baston, Jan. 12-(UP)-SaleS Managers must sharpen their ef- ficiency tools to meet postwar competition, Prof. H. H. Maynard of Ohio State University said today at the opening session of the 7th New England Sales Management Conference.
 Keynoting the two-day confer ence sponsored by the Boston Chamber of Commerce, Dr. May nard told more than 1000 New England sales executives that "tilization of war-born productive capacities as well as the availa- bility of cheap capital will put new competition in many lines"
 Maynard said the tools that need sharpening are knowledge of sell ingcoSts, Sales management tech niques, testing policies, testing job descriptions, market policies brands, and selection of sales re- cruits."
 These are the tools which will enable some organizations to sur vive while others fall behind," he said.
