 The press has been ballyhooing the attempt of congressional sub- committee headed by Rep. Walter C. Ploeser (R, Mo. to do hatchet job on consumer cOOperatives in the U. s.
 The press has not said anything of previous report (last year) by the House Small Business Commit tee which investigated cooperatives thoroughly and concluded that they are "a healthy addition to the American economy"
 PlOeser was a member of the committee which signed the report.
 The $64 question is: Who made him change his mind-and was it perhaps the giant companies which don't like the way co-ops manage to keep prices down?
 Senator Taft's recommendation to American workers to ''eat Iess'' doesn't go half far enough for Sen. Homer Capehaft (R., Ind.).

Under The Nutmeg Tree
By Nathan Sherman

gress learned that a number of we'll known professors who gave authorita tive lectures on economic problems before service clubs, women's clubs, etc, were actually on the payroll of management organizations.
 * * *
 Today, the situation, in many re- spects, has changed for the better. We still have many conservative econo- mists, and they are accepted as such. They are labelled. However, labor also has its economists. Every large inter national union now has a research department, and a number of local unions have economists on their stafs. A great discovery has been made. Col lege professors, economists, and statis- ticians\ are people, Whether they work for labor or for management, they are influenced in their work by their royalties, their preludices, and their own particular economic theo- ries
 This is great improvement over the old days Those were the times when an economist might make a speech saying "our economy will not be able to survive another round of wage increases" and cite figures to prove his case. Today such a person must be careful and be more concern ed with his facts than with his opin- ions, or he faces the prospect of hav- ing labor economist show where he is wrong. No economist. whether he is employed by management or by labor, can afford to be "unprofes- sional."
 The next problem labor faces in this field is the acceptance by local unions of the need to use economic material The day when a business agent won a wage increase by banging on the en- ployer's table is gone and it was gone before the Taft-FIart1ey Act became law.

New York (LPA) - Apartment dwellers in this city are breathing a little easier this week, as the first rent control and eviction control bills have been made law by Mayor O'Dwyer's signature.
 The unqiue 1aws-which may be copied by other large cities-extend rent controls to nearly 1,80O,OOO dwelling. units, eliminating some of

 Penalty for preaching the law can be as high as 90 days in jail and $500 fine, for violation of either city or federal rent controls.

There was time, not too far III the past, when the only figures organ ized labor concerned itself with were those dealing with wage rates and number of hours worked. Maybe those were the good old days. 1 wouldn't know, because 1 have the impression that what we mean when we use the phrase is that those days were better than the present How good they were in themselves is another matter. I'm always reminded of the time Fred Allen asked one of his Alley charac- ters (Minerva Pious) what she would do if she had her life to live over again. Miss Pious replied: I'd drop dead"
 The observation about figures arises from the fact that statistics dealing with the cost of living, rate of pro duction and rate of profits, are especially important to unions, because they are the basis, in most cases, for negotiating for wage increases.
 There used to be a time when the average business agent or union presi- dent sniffed suspiciously if you quoted an economist or a statistician to sup port an argument. I think there was good reason for it. Most economists were employed by management, or by foundations controlled by management, and their point of view was that of management. I don't at all mean to intimate, that they distorted facts to arrive at conclusions favorable to management. They simply took it for granted that there was only one way of interpreting a group of facts or a set of figures. An exception might arise here and there, but he obviously was a radical and therefore "unpro- fessional"

Womems Groups Interested
In Broadcastimg Programs
By Gretchen Smith
women's Club Editor.

The growing interest which wom-
ems organizations are taking II
radio broadcasting Is shown in the
increasing number of radio chair.
men appointed by different groups
for the special purpose of planning
and arranging broadcasts.
There was a time, perhaps, when
womens clubs were associated with
pink teas" and other frivolous af-
fairs, but today not a single or
ganized woman's group but has its
serious and constructive project
To promote these projects, the sup
port of the membership is needed
as well as more members. and to ac-
quire both objectives nothing has
proven more effective than a we'll
directed broadcast.
In order to present to organization
leaders in and around Washington
practical information on the use of
radio, the Association of Women
Broadcasters of Washington is hold
ing radio institute at 1:30 pm.
January % in the auditorium of the
Washington Gas Light Co., Eleventh

The Association of Women Broad
casters will strive to answer some
of the questions which radio chair
men of clubs frequently ask. These
include: How can our organization
use radio for best results?'' Who
should represent our club in con-
facts with radio stations and what
should the approach be?" and again,

/ what constitutes news from the
standpoint of radio presentation and
what material is acceptable for radio
broadcasts?"

answer these questions on the radio
institute program through a skit
and a panel discussion. Members

to securing time on the air, prepar-
ing material and selecting personnel

broadcaStS.
An interesting feature will be a
demonstration whereby guests will
be allowed to participate in the pro-
gram, which will be transcribed and
played back for them to hear.
Ruth Crane, regional chairman of
the Association of Women Broad

nection with this service
