The two owners of the
Chicken Roost. a Times Square
restaurant in New York. were
sitting around discussing bust

something sensational 10 hike

Fourth round

While other unions around the
country We're preparing to seek
their third round of pay boosts,
the International Longshoremen's
and Warehousemen's Union was
a step ahead of them in the effort
to keep wage levels within a
livable distance of runaway prices.
Members of Harry Bridges CLIO
union of West Coast dock workers
this week won their fourth round
Of wage increases. When the
Waterfront Employers Association
declined to negotiate under con-
tract clause calling for a wage
reopening, the issue went to Ar
bitrator Arthur C. Miller who de-
cided the workers were entitled
to an increase of eight cents an
hour in the basic pay rate. More
over, his decision recognized the
continuing inflationary spiral and
left the way open for another
boost next Feb. 10.

Between the Truman and the
COP "anti-inflation" programs
there is enough hot air to blow
up the Goodyear blirnp.
In the special session of Con-

there was no attempt this week
to disguise the fact that neither
party is really concerned.
The Truman-Harriman pro-

The menace of thought control
and legislative censorship con-

Drawer Americans, not succumb-

back.
Chairman j. Parnell Thomas
(eRp., ND of the House un-Am-

next months resumption of hear

Liquor 'curbs'

The announced function of the
Presidents Food Committee is to
suggest ways of conserving AM
erican foods for use in easing
starvation in war-torn countries.
Recently the committee revealed
its "curbs" on the distilling indus
try, allocating about $500, 900
bushels tor 1880, 100000 pounds
of grain for the manufacture of
liquor over the next 70 months.
This week a blunt-speaking
Denver distiller, Jay Ambrose,
charged that actually the distillers
have been granted 100000, 1000
pounds of grain above what they
were allotted for the largest pre-
war year.
Ambrose said U. S. distillers
have enough liquors in warehouses

To the Supreme Court this week

The Josephson case was up to

Peace on earth

This week the Progressive Citi-

of Christmas cards bearing
statement by Henry A. Wallace
which read: II hear no armies
marching. I hear only a world
crying for peace"
One of the cards bore a picture
of a sad little Negro boy with
pierced hands, a crown of thorns
and a halo. Another was sketch
of nude Madonna holding her
child.

to take care of the demand for
the next four years.
Ambrose, who previously had
proposed that the distilling indus
try shut down to save grain, said
this is what those 100000 bushels
of grain granted distillers would
do:
Produce sso.ooo.ooo pounds
of milk per year. if fed TO dairy
cows: produce 23.o0o.0oo pounds
of meat every month per year.
