"No. l Objective"
(New York Times }

tNew York Times
 The compelling pressure of economic events has forced the British Government to place major emphasis upon increasing output According to a dispatch re- centlv from London increasing productivity has placed full employment the Number One objective" of British economic policy. The them is that withou high production full employment itself is endangered This shift in onpbasis to high-leVel production is healthy development Eig-level production means high h-level employment But is evident in many backward economies the reverse is not necessarily true
 This theme has direct application to our own economy, IS well as to that of Britain. Our most urgent need is greater productivity Unless this is achieved wagep price relationships will remain dsored The large wage of the past year well these during the years, have sadded industry with high unit costs and make it difficult, if not impossible bring down prices to levels suitable for the mass pocketbook" unless unit labor costs be reduced.
 In most industries productivity is ho higher than it before the war, although wages have increased considerably Now labor is more asking for sub stantal wage adjustments in the ass-production industries In the absence of greater output per man. hour such new wage increases will higher costs and many industries higher prices Wage increases which do not increase the workers command over goods and services do not improve his webeing It is real wages-that is what money buy-that i'm portant If production it not increased then wage earners can only improve their position at the expense Of other groups particularly those with fixed incomes. As result these other groups find their command over goods and services reduced and their living standards deterorated We have witnessed this devel- opment during the past year
 As a nation improve our living standards only by increasing the total volume of goods and services Efforts divide the existing pie frequently result smaller pie because the incentive to produce is impaired and because industries longer afford hire workers at the relatively hlgher We must learn to bake more pies before We can have more to consume.

INSTALMElNT BUYING VARDAMAN

Commodore Jake Vardaman, President Truman's ex-Naval Aide, now elevated to a lush Sl4,000 job on the Federal Reserve Board, is waging a hot campaign-indirectly aimed a> Federal Reserve Chair man Mariner Eceles-to lit all credit controls on instalment buy ing
 Vardaman, who once cuchered himself into the position Of get ting 10 percent extra seagoing pay while attached to the White House and comfortably sleeping on dry land, and who ordered Navy en- listed men to paint and repair his home, is a minority of one on the Reserve Board Other members feel that imitation is by no means over and some control over inStalment buying must be retained
 At present there is no restriction on goods purchased for less than $50 But credit controls still apply to instalment purchases of autos, furniture, floor coverings, and ma jor household appliances, such as refrigerators and washing machines.
 InStalment purchasers ol such goods costing up to S2,O00 must pay a third down and the remainder within l2 months, except for floor coverings and furniture which have a 15-month maturity
 Aside from Vardaman, ether members of the Federal Reserve Board feel that these controls against imitation should remain in effect unless Congress acts to the contrary.

BARTLETT SEEKING CHANGE EN ALASkk
 DETRIMENTAL PAY

Delegate Bartlett has made strong representations to the Pres idont urging exclusion of AlaSks nom a recent War Department or der eliminating the 25 percent sal ary differential paid to dependent employees Of the department who reside with the head of a family employed by another federal gov ornment agency.
 The order was promulgated ac- cordine to information eiven Dele ga.e Bartlett largely to provide such limitation in occupation areas overseas because it was felt that Gap ndents needed no induce mcnt to work 10. tic War Depart ment so long as by SO doing they would te able to join members of their families.
 Declaring that the order is a c,ear violation Of tho Presidents instructions, 10 which all govern ment departments agreed, that un- ii a permanent government policy S established the policy of paying 25 percent differential would re- main in effect, Delegate Bartlett
 ated the order represents a uni lateral determination of the War Department" which should be i'm mediately rescinded insofar as it affects Alaska.
 The Presidents instructions were issued in 1945 with the request that cost-of-living survey be made. The Bureau ot the Budget and the Civil Service Commission are now cooperating to arrive at Settled, permanent policy.
 Delegate Bartlett also pointed out that preliminary studies issued by the two agencies recognized that the conditions in Alaska are unique. H. also pointed out that the 25 percent dlfferential paid in Alaska is in recognition of the excessive high cost of living and is not paid as an "mducement" to recruit work CTS.

 Presidential aspirant Stassen feels new national legislation along the lines he proposes is need ed because union leaders have abused" their power Pupil Ball takes the much stronger view that the Wagner Act itself is defective.
 Senator Ball admits a major purpose of his revision bill is to give employers chance to beat strike" This is impossible under present law, he said, unless the is willing to close down his plant and wait until the workers starved back to their jobs.
 The employers hands tied today Ball has said This bill gives him chance to organize back-to-work movement The right to strike must be set off by the right to break strike"

HAGGLING OVER PHILIPPINES


 With Congress wrestling over a new budget involving billions. Pres ideny Truman had to devote almost an hour the other day straighten- ing cut a relatively "chicken-leed" transaction of $75,00O000 Though small in the amount Of cash in- yolved, however, the transaction was all-important to the Philip pine Islands.
 For seven months a S75,000,O0O loan authorized by Congress to help rehabilitate the war torn Phil ippineS has been held up, due to the tight-fisted banker tactics of the REC and the National Advisory Council. which must approve ali foreign loans
 The National Advisory Council, headed by Secretary of the Trea- sury John Snyder, had refused to clear the loan without a guarantee that it would be fully repaid in three and half years. However, Democratic Congressman Jasper Bell of Missouri. sponsor of the lean bill, argued that it would be physically impossible for the is lands to repay on such short ma turi.y terms
 Calling at the White House to en- list Truman's support, the Missouri Congressman told the President:

Suicide by Hitler Depicted
By Mazi for American Probers

NUREMBERG, ERMAN Y
Hitler's suicide and funeral pyre
were described for United States in
vestigators by a prominent Nazi,
Arthur Axmann, leader of the Hit
Ter Youth, who asserted he saw Hit
Ter and Eva Braun dead in their
Berlin air raid bunker and that he
helped burn the bodies in the gar
den of the reichschancellery. AK
mann, under automatic arrest be-
cause of his high rank in Nazi party
councils, said that he was in Hit
ler's headquarters under the Fueh-
rer's orders from April %, l945, to
April 80, Hitler's last day.
Hitler had been told that Reichs-
marshal Hermann Goering and
Gestapo Chief Heinrich Himmler
had deserted him. In his last few
days he became a strangely changed
man. He strobe up and down the
bunker floor almost ceaselessly and
spoke to no one, but "he vas calm"
Axmann related. Late the night of
April 30 Paul Joseph Goebbels took
Axmann by the hand and said "the
Fuehrer is dead" The propaganda
minister led Axmann into the death
chamber.
Hitler was sitting upright on the
divan. He had shot himself through
the mouth, and there was blood on
his temples from the conclusion.
Eva evidently had taken poison.

'Iot Lab to Pioneer
In Special Research
Plan Is Significant for Future OF
Atomic Energy.

ST. LOUIS, MO. - A "hot lab"
rising on the grounds of Washington
university soon will begin pioneer
ing significant for the future of sci
ence and atomic energy.
"Hot" laboratories are those for
studies with tracer atoms, the tell
tale radioactive kind that can be
followed wherever they go.
1t is the first one at any univer-
sity that is not under auspices OF
the Atomic Energy commission, so
far as DR.. Joseph w. Kennedy, 81,
professor of chemistry and n OF
the earliest wartime workers on plu-
tonium, knows.
This is one reason for the pioneer
ing character of the lab.
Many universities are using or
will use research facilities estab-
lished under the Acc, but none
other has been provided with a lab
oratory of its own.
The other reason is that the work
at this laboratory likely never will
make any headlines for readers in
terested only in inventions or i'm
mediately useful" products from
science.
1t will try to discover some of
the basic signposts that later may
lead to such inventions.
Washington university will get its
tracers or radioisotopes from the
atomic oven at Oak Ridge, Tenn,
and from its own cyclotron.
This machine and the larger n
at the University of California at
Berkeley produced plutonium in the
early days of the Manhattan dis
trict work.
Projects now planned by scien-
lists here, DR.. Kennedy said, in
clude studies of just how molecules
behave and affect each other, OF
photosynthesis in plants, of what
chemical changes occur when radio
active chemicals decay, how various
sugars are formed and their fate in
the animal body, of f1uorescence, OF
nucleic acids within cells, and what
causes the colors in certain cheml-

Recruits Decline
In Armed Forces
E~rlistments Fail to Keep
Manpower of Services
At Full Strength.

WASHINGTON. Diminishing
manpower is causing grave concern
to the high commands Of all armed
forces - army, navy and air. Re-
cruiting for the services is running
far below the levels necessary to
keep the armed forces at authorized
strength, in some cases as much
as 20 per cent too low, officials
say.
The navy, which customarily is in
a better recruiting position than the
army, is getting only about 80 per
cent of the needed number of re-
cruits on the basis of latest figures.
Navy officials estimate they need
about $4,000 men a month. The
army, which also carries on air
force enlistments, gained about d.
600 men in September, compared
with a desired total of about 10000.
Prospects Termed Poor.
The army has a present actual
strength of about 900, 900 compared
with its authorized force of 1870
600. The navy currently is somewhat
above the average strength figure
authorized for the current fiscal
year lending next June 30) but the
present rate of discharges compared
with enlistments will drop it below
strength, officials said. The navy
strength, in men and officers, is
about AT, 900 compared with an au-
thorized 437, 900 figure for the fiscal
year.
The air force is understood to be
between 10000 and 10000 short of
it's 391 900 authorized strength "a
part of the 1,07O,OO0 total for the
army.
Guard Sagging, Too.
An intensive effort is under way
to build up another vitality import
ant component of national defense,

establishments, that, too, lags far
behind requirements.
High army officials said that they
were still able to keep up the man.
power required by Gen. Lucius D.
Clay in Germany and Gen. Douglas

being reached where the drain of
