JACKSONIAN HAS LEAD IN
TOIJGALOO COLLEGE PLAY

Saturday evening, May 25th, at
8:15 m. in the Cyrus Hamlin Au-
ditorium of Tougaloo College the
Paul Robson Dramatic Society will
close its 1945-46 Collegiate year
with the presentation of "Craig's
Wife, three act drama by George
Kelly-directed by Mr.. E. A. Lo-
max, Jr.
The plot revolves around Har-
RE Craig-a supremacy selfish
woman who in the words of Miss
Austen would exclude the whole
world and impose her narrow little
order upon it-again-People who
live to themselves. Harriet, are gen.
orally left to themselves for other
people will not 60 on being made
miserable indefinitely because of
your ridiculous idolatry of house
Furnishings"
Ruth Cobbins of Jackson has been
cast to do the role f Harriet Craig.
Miss Cobins is an ardent worker,
knows the art of projection and
should afford her audience an eve
ming of worthwhile diversion. She
is to be graduated this year. Dame
rumor has it too that the winsome
Ruth has done an ALTAR glide" but
as yet we have not been able to
ascertain just when it happened
and where.
Henry "Mooch" Wilkerson who is
also Jacksonite is being co-starred
with Miss Cobbins as Walter Craig
the husband. This appearance marks
Wilkerson's initial bow before foot
light lovers and he promises to be
good. Aside from his dramatic in
clinations he is member of the
College Choir, an ardent bridge en-
thuSiast, track man and a Veteran
of World War II having spent two
years with the 92nd Division in
Italy.

THE NEW WAGE-PRICE ORDER

WHAT THE newly promulgated wage-pric,
" order will mean as administered is not ye
known, but two matters of procedure are Signifi
cant: JD Employers can Immediately apply fol
price adjustments without waiting six months il
order to assure them profits equal to the peace
time profits of the base PERIOD (2) wage increases
through collective bargaining must be approved
by stablllzaton authority if such increased costs
of production are used to secure price relief.
Again the government intervenes in collective
bargaining, setting up higher authority. The
result is RECOMMENDATION of collective bargaining as
well as it's further weakening by limitations on its
authority.
Collective bargaining is one of the main bul.
warks of our free enterprise system This fact
alone is reason for deep concern over the reversal
OF the wage policy that was announced following
VI Day The one standard with which all poll
cies and procedures must square is personal free
dom in which economic freedom is base-line.
The American Federation of Labor, in sup
porting the extension of price control, has giver
evidence of its realization of the danger and waste
of imitation. This does not mean rigid price con-
trolls such as were necessary during the war,
when we restricted civilian production, but con-
troll with the lexibility to encourage increased
volume of production.
We believe that the one way to prevent run
away initiation is by production of adequate sup
plies and adjustment of fiscal policies. Prices that
do not permit of adequate profits retard produc
tlon Wage rates that result in lower standards
of living are not conducive to efforts for increased
productivity.
The National Wage Sterilization Board, in
correcting disparities, is to take into considera-
ton increases in the cost Of living between Janu-
ary 1941, and September, 1915. But costs of llv-
ing have not remained at the level of last Sep
tember. There is general expectation among
government economists that that index will rise
ten more points. Scarcities of some articles have
been made sharper by world needs.
There has been failure on the part of admin
to realize that reconversion to maximum
civilian production should be our controlling OBJ
jective. Price control has been confused with pro-
duction regulation.
The new wage-price policy is a step backward
to drastic wartime controls 1t reestablishes wage
by the government. 1t nullifies theI
incentive for increased productivity.
We realize that the government is at a serious
in promoting full production when
wage and price controversies disrupt reconver-
sion, but the policy is no solution. We fear it
will serve only to multiply confusion and troubles,
with consequent social and economic discomfort.

VITAL HELP FOR WAR VICTIMS

DISABLED SERVICEMEN are receiving special
- attention from the American Red Cross
Through the use of new methods, blind veterans
and amputees gain the strength and confidence
to fit themselves for useful place in society.
The Red Cross, in collaboration with military
specialists introduced "convalescent swimming
for amputees and other severely disabled men.
Now its use is recognized as essential to a COM
plete recondtioning program.
Dr. Jack London of Hines Veterans Hospital
in Chicago declared, "The American Red Cross
has done most remarkable thing for these boys
in introducing them to swimming The psyche
therapeutic value is beyond description"
Recreation is important to the newly blind
who are lonely afraid and self-conscious.
On a tandem bike with seeing patient, or
with roller-skating partner, they learn a new
sense of movement and balance. Through music
and dancing they find social world. Their activl-
ties are directly supervised by Red Cross recrea-
ton workers, who try to find absorbing activities
for the patients.
Experience has proved that injured persons do
not necessarily get well by medical and nursing
care alone. They need to play to be well again.
Therefore, Red Cross programs at veterans hos
pitfalls perform a vital function in preparation for
a full and useful life.

LIVING STANDARDS UNDER FREE
ENTERPRISE

OUR AMERICAN system of free enterprise
means simply this: Any man can work at any
job he chooses. If he has enough capital he is free
to set up any business he wants Or workers and
others can get capital by joining together and set
up cooperative business. worker is free to join
a union and to bargain collectively for higher
wages.
Competition between business firms in a free
market tends to bring profits to efficient managers
who can produce the best products at the lowest
price. This chance to make a profit by doing a
better job than someone else has proved to be the
most powerful incentive to good management
ever discovered. Workers have a strong incentive
to cooperate with management and improve pro
duction because their unions can win them share
in the increased earnings. That is why free enter
prise brings the highest level of efficiency and
therefore the highest living standard.
In totalitaran state, the government dictates
all policies The government can tell an employer
what to produce and worker where he shall
work. There is no chance to make a profit; the
workers union has no power to raise his wage
Security depends on keeping the favor OF ones
superior officer, and frequent purges are a sharp
reminder that death the concentration camp
are the penalties Of those who lose favor. This
has been true both in Nazi Germany and Com
munist Russia
Utter ruthlesSness on the part Of the dictator
government brings compliance, but it does not
bring high level of productivity. Production per
man-hOur in USA before the war was three times
that of Soviet Russia.

EXECUTIONS BY FRANCO
CONDEMNED

Washington-(FP). - The recent
execution by Gen. Franco of 10 Span
iards who fought with the French un-
derground against the Nazis was con-
demned Feb. 26 by the American Com
mittee for Spanish Freedom as max
ing it more evident that the Spanish
government is continuing to carry out
the policies of fascism by wiping out
democratic forces"
The committee said additional pris-
oners are on the docket for execution
unless the U. S. and other democratic
countries take immediate steps to stop
this merciless slaughter"
Rep. Charles Savage Cd, Wash.)
charged "the killing of these trends
of democracy only proves that Spain
is a breeding ground for fasclsm-
the same type of fascism that has
been built up in Argentina, as recent
ly exposed by the State department"

RANKIN WOULD COURT
MARTIAL CRITIC

Washington--(FP).-Rep. John f
Rankin Cd, Miss.) announced on the
House floor Feb. 20 he would demand
that Brig. Gen. H. c. Holdridge be
court -martialed to prevent him from
spreading his views against Rankin
while drawing pay as a retired Off
Ger.
Rankin was criticized by Holdridge
for his anti-Semitic, anti-Negro re-
marks and described as unfit to serve
as chairman of the House committee
dealing with veterans legislation.
As the leading figure on the House
un-American committee headed by
Rep. John S. Wood ID, Ga.), Rankin
called the army officer spreader of
"communistic doctrines" and alleged
he was retired as "neurotic" in 1914.
The general is West Point graduate.
