sibility for the migratory workers who work in their neighborhood. Major General Graves B. ErSkine, head of the Retraining and Reem- ployment Administration, was the chairman of this committee in which the Departments of Labor. Agriculture, the Federal Security Agency, the National Housing Ad- ministration. and the Railroad Re- tirement Board participated.
 Among the fundamental recom- mendatons was that the children of migratory workers be required to go to school and that adequate schools be provided for them; that Workman Compensation Laws apply to cover migratory workers and that the Interstate Commerce Act be extended to cover their safety in private truck or bus transportation. The committee urges the licensing and regulation of labor camps as well as employ ment agencies and private con- tractors. The committee urges that this be done to help the migratory workers to take a normal place in community life. Religious and recreational facilities and schools for their children are necessary. The committee recommends that the government establish and inn prove its recruiting services for this class of labor and that mini mum standards be established and that all employers of migratory labor cooperate with the govern ment in this recruiting and dis tribution of workers.
 As matter of fact, great i'm provement has been made. The report shows pictures of cottages on fruit and vegetable farms in different parts of the country where migratory workers get ex- cellent housing. playgrounds, su- pervision for their children, and regular health service; private op- erations combined with some pub licly owned camps have improved the situation in many communi- ties.
 With the improvements, the mi gratory workers have shown them selves to be very desirable mem bers of society. With this rehab- ilitation of their working and living conditions, the prejudice which was SO keen against them a few years ago has vanished in many areas, and with the contin- uation of the programs and decent conditions urged by this report 1t will not revive.

controls, there are signs that food prices are causing Q surprising shift on that subject.
 The New York Times and the Washington Post-two thoroughly conservative newSaperS-both pub lished editorials this week admit ting that some kind of controls may be necessary after all.
 "The free price system works when supplies are sufficient to meet demands at reasonable prices" the Post said. "But it does not work well when millions of human beings are facing starva- tion.
 If we are to render the asSiS- tance we have promised to foreign countries, we cannot rely on the price-making mechanism of free markets. A return to ratloning Of foods offers the only means of re- lieving price pressure"
 A similar view is pressed by the "Times," which praises Chester C.. Davis for saying that ''controlS are necessary to conserve our food SUD- plies, if we are to help democratic Europe fight hunger"
 Davis made that statement this week, as chairman of the food sub- committee of President Truman's 19-man board, which is studying the resources" available in the United States for carrying out the Marshall Plan" for feeding and rebuilding Europe.
 Tn the past, Davis filled high ''New DeaT' agriculture posts, and he now is president of the St. Louis Federal Reserve Bank.
 Alarmed by the rising price of food, Democratic Mayor William O'Dwyer of New York City took some unusual steps.
 He called a meeting of city off cia1s to determine how much the high cost of food is forcing reduc- ton of the diets of the thousands of people the city feeds through it's relief agencies. Also, whether it will be necessary to serve less d1lQ H)OOIGI IOOO III SCIlOOA N1AAA- dren's lunches.
 O'Dwyer launched an investiga- tion to find out whether the city's people are consuming less food now than they did under price control. The results of this study are ex- pected to show the effect of high food prices on low-income famil- ies.
 In Chicago, representatives of
 the Department of Justice an-
 nounced a Federal grand jury
 probe of the 'Big Four" meat
 packers-ArmOur, Swift, Cud-
 ahy and Wilson. They will be
 asked why meat prices are so
 high.
 Unfortunately, the Justice De- partment has a fine record for start ing actions against price-fxers and monopolists, but nowhere near as good a record for carrying things through and getting results.
 Meanwhile, despite all the talk about remedies" food prices con- tinue to go up; and little is being done about it.

"Eot Less" That's Bob" Toft's Remedy for Soaring Prices

Almost panic-strlcken by sky rocketing food prices and the economic and political results - even conservative leaders are be- ginning to propose some surprising remedies" The most amazing was suggested by Senator Robert A. Taft (Rep., Ohio), who is touring the West as a presidential candi- date
 The American people should "eat less, and eat less extravagantly," !" said Taft. ''That was Hoover'S doc Urine and I agree with Hoover"
 In the same newspapers which reported Taft's suggestion, was a photograph of the Senator storing away a generous portion of roast beef and other ''vittles" at barbe- cue banquet.
 When Taft discovered he had ''pulled a bOner," he called 8 press conference and said he got the idea from one of Tru- mans messages and he quoted cOpious extracts. Later on, Sec- HCbdTy Ok NOuA1uCACC AAnAA AnASSAp and other Administration "big wigs" pulled Taft out of the hole by making similar -sug- gestiOns.
 Of course, voluntary ration ing" won't work. Workers can't eat less because they are not eating too much now.
 Unless price controls are ciapped on and rapidly en- forced the poorer will be the chief victims of imitation. The rich can patrOnize the black market.
 Taft declared he is against reS- 6oration of food price controls. So did Senator Ralph E. Flanders Rep., VtO, who heads 8 special Senate-House committee which be- gan an investigation of high prices this week.
 Though Taft, Flanders and many other conservatives are still against

It has long been known that some Western states have vast de- posits of 'oil shale," which could be used to produce gasoline and oils, but they would cost more than those made from petroleum.
 Now "gas" and oils can be made from shale even more cheaply than from petroleum, says pr. Gustav Egloff, research director of the Universal Oil Products Company.
 He points out that the shaleS contain uranium, the source or atomic energy. Thus 1t will be pos sible to mine the shades for the valuable uranium, and get gasoline and oils inexpensively as by products"
 That would open up new in- dustriaI empire in the West. this scientist declares, and would sup ply Americas oil and gasoline needs for 100 years.
 Incidentally, it would make it less likely that American boys would be sent abroad to fight for American oil companies foreign interests, because we would have plenty of oil at home.
