WAGES:
Building Trades

Making the biggest jump in any
single 12-month period since 1920,
wages of union workers in the
building trades rose IS per cent in
the past year, according to a report
by the bureau of labor statistics.
That increase worked out to
about Is cents an hour for nearly
100000 workers in seven major con-
struction crafts, with most of the
hourly pay boosts coming after
wage controls were removed.
Total rise from July, 1899, to
July, 1947, amounted to about 40
per cent. During the same period,
wholesale prices of building mate
rails scared 96 per cent, while the
consumers price index increased by
SO per cent, the bureau pointed out.
In the building trades, bricklay-
ers, with an average hourly rate of
$2.37, are at the top of the scale,
although plasterers and plumbers,
who received an 1873 per cent wage
rise, made the largest gain from
collective bargaining during the
year.

CONSPIRACY:
Probe Prices

Many Americans who have had to
empty their pocketbooks to fill their
larders probably have entertained,
from time to time, the theory that
current astronomical costs Of living
were conspiracy of some sort.
Now Attorney General Tom Clark
has been struck with the same idea,
and he is dead serious about it
threatening jail sentences for any
one who. can be proved to have
conspired to keep prices Of food,
clothing and shelter in the strato-
sphere.
Assuming "get tough" attitude,
the justice department ordered a
full scale investigation to determine
whether there is any subterfuge be-
hind high prices in the nation, as
industry spokesman hurried to point
out that their records were unblem-
ished and that they would welcome
the uprooting of any of the existing
evils.
In the meantime, the CLIO full
employment commission urged that
congress be summoned into special
session to restore price controls and
roll back prices to where they were
when OPA expired. Congressional
committees were already looking
into price increases in the East and
Midwest.
The justice department anxiety
and its proposed drive to combat
monopolists was one of the strong
est indications yet that the govern
ment is gravely concerned with the
possibilities of uncomfortable infa-
ton III the nation.

INDEPENDENCE:
India Riots

During the two days before fate
full India became land of free
men, more than 200 died in bloody
orgy of violence and rioting in the
huge northern province of Punjab.
Lahore, the capital, was the CEN
ter of the disturbance, but fierce
fighting also took place throughout
the west and east Punjab country
side. Wide sections of Lahore were
afame.
This took place ON the eve of In
dia's independence day, just before
the Indian constituent assembly sat
down to function as a free govern
ing body.
Cause of the rioting, melted, as
always, by terrorists, was the bit
ter disagreement arising out of the
partitioning of India into two sepa-
rate lonesome for Hindus, the
other for Moslems.
In New Delhi, the independence
day ceremonial program began
with two minutes of silence for
those who died in the fight for free
dom which was finally achieved
through amicable negotiations with
the British.

Hotheads in Rome who thor

two duels week, and as a result
fencing schools are springing up all
over the place. AS a matter of fact,
a dueling boom is in progress
throughout Italy. Last year total
of 407 such incidents took place.
Dueling in Italy isn't too dangerous,
however. The antagonists just fight

direct action to defend Greece from
Communist domination if the coun-
Gil and general assembly are UNI
able to do the job.
That development followed
deadlock brought about two weeks
previously when Russia vetoed an
American plan to have a U. N.
commission keep order along the
northern frontier of Greece.
And it came on the heels of re-
port that a seven-nation subcom-
mittee had been unsuccessful in
finding a way to resolve the stale
mated Russian and United States
stands.
Delivered to the security council
by Herschel v. Johnson, deputy
u. S. delegate, the warning said:
"The continued failure of the
security council to take effec-
tive action in this case because
of the Soviet veto cannot, i'm the
opinion of the u. S. govern
ment, preclude individual 0r
collective action by states will
ing to act, so long as they act
in accordance with the general
purposes and principles of the
United Nations"
What other nations might be will
ing to join the United States in 'col-
lective action" against Communist
inroads in Greece was not irnmedi-
ately evident, however.

COOP INQUIRY:
Two Questions

Although the public is not too we'll
informed about it, one of the most
important and fiercely waged do
nestle post war battles is that
being fought between private bust
ness and cooperative enterprises.
Crux of the feud is the fact that
cooperatives are tax-exempt, while
private business is not. From this
evolve two basic questions:
/. What effect does tax-ex-
emption have upon growth of
the cooperatives?
2. Is tax-exemption a factor
of discrimination against pri-
vate business?
A house small business subcom-
mittee has begun an attempt to find
the answers with an investigation
Of the cooperative community en-
terprise at Greenbelt, Md. In the
Greenbelt case, business groups
have charged that the government
has aided the cooperative in keep
ing private business out of the de-
velopment area.
This hearing, as well as others on
the west coast, is being conducted
by Rep. B. Walter Riehlman (Rep..
N. " as acting chairman Of the
subcommittee.
In view Of the theory that taxes
will remain high, compared with
the past, for at least so years, ac-
cording to economists, the tax
exemption feature of co-ops' exist
ence will grow increasingly inpor-
tant.

DOUBLE TALK:
Inter-An1ericun

Indications at the outset were
that the 21-nation inter-American
conference at Rio de Janeiro, off,
cially called for the purpose of
working out a permanent mutual
defense treaty among American re-
publics, might find itself more con-
cerned with economic aid discus
sions.
U. S. policy, as guided by Secre-
tary of State Marshall, will attempt
to hold down to a minimum any
Latin American hopes for United
States loans. The North American
delegation was expected, instead,
to stress the fact that U. S. capital
investments in South America are
more available and healthier than
outright loans.
Although some South American
governments are slowly trending
toward that same idea, public opin-
ion is tagging, particularly because
of Communist and nationalst-in-
spired anti-U. S. propaganda.
In the meantime, other Of the re-
publics were thinking in terms of a
little Marshall plan" for Ameri-
can aid to Latin America.
All in all, it looked like another
exciting diplomatic period.

TRUE SUB:
u. S. S. Odas

Most nearly approaching the SCI
entific conception of ''true subma-
rine" is the U.S.S. Odax, World
War II submersible upon which
much work has been done since the
wars end to make it almost ideally
streamlined.
Despite their amazingly versatile
performances, submarines have al
ways been viewed by engineers pri-
marily as surface craft-able to
submerge but compelled to operate
most of the time on the surface.
1t is the navy's aim to con-
Struct an actual submarines
craft whose normal sphere Of
operation is beneath the sea.
The Odax has not reached that
end, but it is step in the right d.
rection. Her exterior has been
streamlined by reducing the size of
the superstructure and removing
deck guns and other topSide fix
lures.
