is the big black neckerchief, copied

Currently under test for the gobs'

two consisting of blue and white
pants with blue battlejacket for
dress or winter wear and one COM

will replace the present tight wear.
Typically American, the new

LABOR:
Strife Spreads

With no major reconversion wage
pattern yet set, labor unrest contin-
ued to mount, with the latest strike
threat shaping in demands of the
CIO-United Packinghouse Workers
for 25-cent hourly pay increase
for 100000 members.
The possibilities of walkout drew
an immediate response from Sec
rotary of Agriculture Anderson, who
declared that work stoppage must
be averted, with reserves low, civil
ian and overseas needs high, and
normal marketing of farmers
threatened. Though $4,000 members
of the AFL-Amalgamated Meat Cut
tiers and Butcher Workmen's union
announced that they would not join
the CLIO, strike of the latter would
seriously crimp the production of
100 million pounds of meat daily.
In asking for a Is cent hourly
wage raise, the CLIO stated that it
would agree to a 171s cent hourly
pay boost, with the remainder to be
negotiated when the general bust
ness picture became clearer. Stand
ing alone, the HORNED company was
the first to accept the compromise,
and the union announced that the
firms plants in Minnesota, South
Dakota and Texas would not be
struck but would produce meat for
hospitals and other institutions.
Meanwhile, the government sought

the boosting Of pay and then for an
application for price increases if
necessary to cover the added ex-
penses.
Administration back-tracking on
original policy followed indications
that the CLIO was determined to
press its bid for the So day raise
and the U. S. Steel corporation, as
pacesetter for the industry, was
equally determined to hold out
against settlement until granted re-
lief on price schedules. With steel
products essential to the manufac-
ture of many major items, any dis
ruption of output of the metal would
play havoc with the reconversion
program.
Government efforts to curb the
mounting strike wave also extended
to the telephone and electrical indus
tries over demands of both independ-
ent and CLIO unions for increased re-
conversion pay to maintain high war
time take-home earnings.

GERMANY:
Soviet Reform

Working closely with Soviet occu-
patton authorities, provincial Of
ficials in eastern Germany have In
stituted sweeping agricultural and
Industrial reforms completely re-
making the economy of the region
and gearing it to socialistic ma
chinery.
Once the possession of the Prus-
sian Junkers, who provided the Of
ficerial timber for the German
army, no less than 1000 estates to-
falling 100000 acres have been re-
distributed to nearly 100000 peas
ants, averaging over IL acres per
recipient. Livestock, poultry and
implements also have been divided.
Typical terms of redistribution re-
quire amortization in cash or kind
to the provincial government, with
former 'land-poor" peasants given
additional acreage asked to pay off
in 10 years and ex-propertyless farm
hands granted 20 years. In some
instances, land was parcelled out
at rate of 300 marks per 21a acres,
or $120 in prewar exchange.
It proven non-Nazi former own
ers are compensated for their es-
tates, though at fraction of the
last known market values.
After consultation with farmer
committees, the state sets up crop
program, and operators are expect
ed to deliver up to 70 per cent Of
their production to central storage
points at fixed prices. The remain
ing 80 per cent is left for home con-
sumption and sale on the free mar
ket, where the price may vary wide
ly.
Equally drastic have been the in
dustrial reforms in Silesia, with
workers named to assist company
directors in the management Of
properties and provincial govern
ments controlling the production
and distribution of goods and the
employment of labor.
A case in point involves a great
coal mine formerly controlled by the
I. G. Farben trust, where workers
councils in each pit and factory on
the property appointed three repre-
sentatives to confer daily with two
company officials appointed by the
state on production problems and
employees welfare.
In controlling the economy, state
governments make study of avail
able industrial capacity, raw ma
terials and consumer needs. Then
a production program is drawn up
by the government, with companies
told what to manufacture, where to
deliver it and at what price. Work.
ers are shuttled to needy plants.
Wholesale and retail prices are also
fixed, with the only free market be-
ing in whatever Individual farmers
can sell out of the production left
to them.
Provincial officials said the
planned economy was likely to re-
main in force for many years or at
least until supplies began to bal
ance demands.

WHITE HOUSE:
Puts on Heat

With President Truman having
taken to the fireside to carry his
legislative program to the people,
interest centered on public response
to his appeal to prod congress into
action on a string of proposals
deemed important to the orderly
functioning of the postwar economy.
In calling upon the people to
arouse their representatives, Mr..
Truman was careful not to antagon-
ize congress itself, patting the
solons on the back for having fully
supported the administration for
eign policy designed to further inter-
national collaboration, and charging
only a few members in committee
for having blocked consideration of
domestic legislation.
While the President touched upon
no less than nine phases Of his ma
tional program, he placed particu-
lar emphasis upon the creation of
machinery to outlaw strikes for a
30-day period during which a fact
finding board with subpoena power
would study labor controversies and
recommend solutions; mobilization
of resources for providing five mill
lion homes as quickly as possible to
relieve an acute housing shortage,
and extension of price control and
emergency authority to head off in
flation and permit equitable distri-
button of scarce materials to indus
try until supplies balance demand.
Declaring that "what the Ameri-
can people want is action" Mr..
Truman suggested that if congress
did not favor his proposals, it
should 60 ahead with it's own to
solve immediate pressing problems.
