If we have wars now, DR.. Comp
ton said, they will be so destructive
they will be short-lived. Our atten-
tion, he feels, should be given more
to peace, to make it the best sort of
peace possible.
Atomic energy in the future, the
scientist revealed, will be used in
preparation of artificial radio
active material, and in many indus
trial processes. He believes that
through it the biologist may be able
to get information necessary to tell
him more about how the living cell
grows, and what causes it to divide
for the process of living.

COLUMBUS HAS BIGGEST
URBAN LEAGUE

COLUMBUS, O., Apr. II (ANP)
One of the great examples of
white and Negroes working togeth-
er for common cause, was exhibit
ed at the "Victory Dinner" of the
Columbus Urban League, when 800
volunteer workers of both races, re-
ported 4,521 memberships, in the
18th annual roll call which had been
conducted from March 25 to April
10.
The Columbus Urban League
boasts of having the largest mem
bership of any of the leagues in the
country. 1t is about equally divided
between the races and is a cross
section of all the races, religions,
parties and classes. This is also true

Nazism At Pittsburgh
Cincinnati Enquirer)

For a perfect example of how not to win friends and influence people, it would be hard to beat the tactics of the independent union which has deprived the City of Pittsburgh of vital electric power since late in September.
 First there was caloused contempt toward the public interest The leaders of the strike showed little or no concern the fact their quitting the job would deprive all the homes and business places of the Pittsburgh of ful-time electrical service, would make countless hundreds of thousands walk wherever they wanted to go, and would in many instances actually endanger life and property They thunbed their noses every effort of the community to protect itself against their obstruction of electrical service.
 Then not content with having sent Pittsburgh back to the of city besieged by flood some body among the strikers decided the public should not be permitted the rickle of power made available by supervisory employees still on the job and manning the generators. And shots from high powered rifle into a S6O 900 outdoor transformer ruined it, and further curtailed the meager supply of electricity available for homes and industries
 That not American act. It was something that harkens back to the jungle to the record of Nazism.
 The moral s the public has legitimate concern the type of unionism that acquires control of it's essential services.

WAGES AND PRODUCTION

It is widely agreed that increases in real wages depend upon increasing productivity. As more is pro- duced more is available for consumption, and living standards can be increased Most reports from ln- dustry concerning labor productivity since V-J Day have not been favorable One such report comes from Henry Ford 2d speaking for his company:
 The situation with respect to worker e1-
 ficency and productivity is very bad. This
 seems to be national problem and not
 peculiar to Detroit. Perhaps it was natural to
 have a letdown after the war but hasn't it
 gone far enough? If we do not get better
 productivity we'll have another inflationary
 spiral worse than anything we've yet seen
 What really want to do is to ind
 ways and means to produce cars at less instead
 of more cost The only way We see to do that
 is to get production up and keep it up with
 increased production.
 AS basis for wage demands last spring and fall labor leaders emphasized the wartime increase in production as evidence of peacetime ability to pay higher wages without the necessity for raising prices During the past year the transfer of industrial know how" from war to peace industries has not occurred This has been due in part to shortages of materials and manpower which have made it impossible to replace machines and tools More important, how ever the factors accounting for the increase in ductivitv in war industries namely the application Of mass production techniques those industries con- cenraton of production upon single products record breaking volume etc.-have not been present in the peacetime economy.
 Production has not yet reached level where industry grant series of large wage increases In the light of the poor record of productivity new wage increases would only result in further price
