For Radio Listeners
By Horry Macarthur

Once upon a time there was a
popular song, probably introduced
by Bing Crosby, called Learn to
Groom" Learn to Groom" its Tyr
les advised, IF you want to win your
hearts desire" 1t is piece of ad-
vice that might we'll be needed by
any young man casting about for a
suitable career and might well be
sung by mothers to young sons, in
the hope of implanting the idea.
1t was. as We recall, mere romantic
success that the song promised the
young man who learned to Groom,
but there are other rewards not to
be taken lightly.
Late last week word drifted into
the office from the outside world
that it was, of all things, Perry
Como Week across the Nation,
heralding Como's first starring
film. If I'm Lucky" We had in
tended merely to pass the word
along hoping you had observed
Perry Como Week" properly, until
we recalled some figures we had
seen recently in various mentions
of the young men who have learned
to Groom. There is nothing face
tious about the $4,000 which Perry
Como. the. Supper Club star, will re-
ceive September % for one-night
stand at the New Haven Arena Of
course, he will have to do two
shows, but still 10 grand for singing
few songs is a nice dollar.
Mr.. Como, looking forward to
this appearance, now is reported
giving some thought to another
project. He would like to take over
Madison Square Garden for one
night stand and thinks he might
take in $4,000 for that. He is not
important money, of course. Apart

 Teachers Raise Of $23 Monthly
D Detroit Administration Breaks Its Heart; Grants
 Meager Increase

DETROIT-(FP)- Members of the Detroit Teachers Federation (AFL) and others in the city school system will get $23 a month more in wages by decision of the board of education after long and sus- tained pressure. Teachers with a bachelors degree will start at $3,53O for 10 months work. Those with a masters degree will get $3,63O.
 Almost the entire cost is coming out Of state aid to Detroit schools.
 Maintenance and 1unchroom em- ployes also received raises either by reclassifying them or putting them on salary instead of hourly basis.
 We are disappointed" commented President Florence Sweeney of the federation, "that teachers didn't get the l5%O raise given to other city em- ployes."

WASHINCTON-(FP)-Workers in the printing trades industry have joined in a campaign to bring about a federal tax on radio advertising on the grounds that ra- dio chains and brOadcasting sta- tiOns hold federal franchise on which they pay no direct levy, while devoting we'll over three quarters of their air-time to com mercial Gle. paid advertising) pro- grams.
 The campaign is spearheaded by the [ntl. Allied Printing Trades Assn. headed by Pres. John B. Haggerty of the Intl. Bro. of Bookbinders (AFL).

 Some 10O000 union members are af- fillated with the movement, and are employed on newspapers, magazines, business papers and farm publications, all of which have been hurt by the de- velopment of radio advertising since 1928.

Chicago LPA)-It seems the nations railroads are poor as church mice whenever workers seek higher wages.
 Poverty" was the theme of rail road witnesses at triple-barreled hearings being held here on the de mands of 20 railroad unions for wage increases and improvements in work ing conditions.
 New Hearing Launched
 Newest of the hearings is one launched by the Emergency (Fact- Finding) Board, named by President Truman, into the case of two Broth erhoods which had threatened a strike-the Locomotive Engineers and Trainmen.
 At the same time, hearings con- ducted by two arbitration boards in the wage case of l8 other unions entered the fourth and perhaps the final week.

WASHINGTON - (FP) = Con- tinued federal operation of the US. Employment Service as provided in s. I5lO has been indorsed by l69 independent businessmen, publish CTS and bankers from 27 states in a signed statement submitted to the Senate committee on education and labor.

Not Even Enough, Ex-OPA Chief Says

WASHINGTON = (FP) = Leon Henderson, former OPA administrator, characterized the arguments of those attacking the 65c minimum wage bill as Tot of G-damned nonsense" and dared newsmen to print the re- mark.
 Henderson said the new bill sswould provide only three fourths of a bare minimum family living standard, and yet the Senate is be- ing told that substantial businesses would be ruined if the bill were passed. I say, in these days of war; swollen prices, literally millions of families are getting only third and fourth class seats at the dinner table.
 At a press conference on the eve of Senate debate on the bill, S.l349, Henderson said 1t seems incredible, but the same old falsities are being trotted out again to maintain sys- tenn of sweat-shopping which has nc justihable place in American life"
 Widens Present Law
 The bill would amend the 1938 Fair Labor Standards act by advancing its 40c per hour minimum wage to 65c. rising in the third and fourth years to 70c and finally to 75c after four years Tf also widenS fhe coverape of the present law to include big chain stores and agricultural packing and canning industries.
 'sWhen | worked for the origi- nal bill, the opponents prophesied widespread bankruptcy. Just look at the record. It shows that profits are big enough so that most every. one can be paid minimum of CSC today"
 Attacking enemies of the measure Henderson charged that little corner grocers and other small retailers spe- officially exempted by the bill are be- ing stirred up by lobbyists here with a claim that it will ruin them hnan- cially. He said the minority report asking for a 55c minimum was "the weakest minority report on a prime is- sue that I've ever read It convinces me that the opposing Senators didn't have their hearts in the job. It sounds more like pro forna state ment to satisfy the heavy and con tinuous pressures of some special in 'terests."

Support Of Co-ops
 Urged By Churches

COLUMBUS, Ohio-In a special session with the largest attendance since its organization in 1908, the Federal Council of the Churches of Christ in America at its conference here reafirmed its position favoring cooperative economic action.
 A resolution adopted unanimously by full session of the Council read as follows:
 We are convinced that all Chris tlans recognize the higher ethical value inherent in the cooperative as over against the competitive motive, and that as cooperation is emphasized and competition subordinated we ap- preach more nearly to the teachings of Jesus. We therefore encourage the extension of cooperative techniques and other similar means of bringing about economic justice and brother hood"

Mennonites Meet Unionism

NEW YORK (LPA)-Seeking a common ground, militant unionists of ILGWU and determined pacifists of the Mennonite faith, who vehemently disapprove of such pressure action as strikes and picketing, met recently in Lancaster, Pa., and found many prin- ciples of social justice in which they both believe, according to Justice, ILGWU-AFL publication.
 The Mennonite spokesmen indicated willingness to make positive com mitment on the desirability of an ac- ceptance of the principles of union ism by their followers, based on their better understanding of collective bar gaining, negotiation and arbitration.

Opposition To CSC Minimum Is Sheer Nonsense-HenderSon

roads presented a dire picture of heavy losses" if the wage demands were granted. They claimed that wage boosts, plus other increased costs, would put the rails deeply in the "red" before the end of 1946.
 However, counsel for the unions cOuntered by showing that the rail- roads were shedding tears prema- turely-that, as matter of fact, railroad traffic is expected to re- main at high levels for sevarel years. Also, the railroads overlook ed the factor of higher prOductiv- ity by the workers, union attorneys pointed out.
 Besides, the attorneys said, railroads are better off financially now than ever before; they have comfortable reserves, and they have cleaned up sizeable proportions of their mort gageS.

on letterpress printing" It pointed out that letterpress publications devote at least half of their pages to news and educational matter. but compete with form of na- tional advertising which, according to one case reported by the EGG devoted 87H% of its time to commercial programs"
 The AFL official said that in 1928 letterpress publications carried o7.2h percent of all national advertising, with radio chains and stations getting only 2.2 percent. But by 1942, when newsprint was plentiful, he said, the radio industry had jumped to B per cent, while the letterpress publications had dropped to 68 percent of the total of national advertising.
