ASHIN TON (LPA) -
Washington's comparatively own
ed radio station WCFM goes on
the air Wednesday evening. Oct.
20. The occasion will be marked
by a dinner chaired by columnist
Marquis Childs at which the
principal speaker will be former
Secretary of State Sumner Wells.
Actually getting the station
on the air gives us a real sense
of achievement station man
ager Helmuth Kern told LPA.
"Thruout these, months in which
we've been coping with problems
ranging all the way from getting
steel for a transmitter tower to
finding volunteers to stuff en-
velopes, we have. been encour-
aged by the continuing support,
the financial aid, the, ,ever-grow-
ing interest of labor and con-
sumner groups all over the coun-
try" aaA .Fs. s
"These labor leaders, the sco-
operative, civic and, educational
the newspapermen
and commentators, and Others
who have made this station pos
sible will now become particip-.
ants in the broadcating station
they helped to create" Kern
pointed out.

All Workers Frozen
To Jobs Is One Plan

BAYONNE, N. j. (LPA)-A
labor draft and a wage freeze are
keynotes of the Defense Depart
ment's manpower plans in case
of another war, it was revealed
last week.
Tipoff came from Commander
E. G. Campbell of the Armed
Forces Industrial College in a
speech to a group of students al
the Navy Supply Corps School.
All workers would be frozen ir
their obs, Cambpe1l said, until il
is determined whether or moi
some worker can be better used
elsewhere. W. age inducements
must not be used to direct work
ers from one industry into an
other.
Instead both private employ
ers and the government would
have to draw needed labor for
local employment offices.
Campbell deplored the fact
that no plan for ''total manpower
mQbilizatlon was ready when
America went into World War
H." He did not dwell upon the
production record set by free RI
abo during the conflict.
1--WE got thru the war without
some from of work fight leg
islation as a result of sheer good
luck" the naval officer re-
marked. ~ -.

Truman Sounds.
Off On COPS
Asks What They
Mean By ''Unity''

"A clear picture of Republican
plans for America was giveA by
President Harry S. Truman this
week when he likened COP "un-
ity" to a gigantic company union
In his speech in Philadelphia
the President declared that it is
difficult for American working
man and women to determine
what the Republicans mean by
unity"
The President said that his
analysis of the vague and mean
ingless Republican m p g n
speeches indicate that the COP
is promising to do the same
things that the Democratic Par
ty has been doing-but to do
them better.
President Truman continued:
do you know what that
sounds like to me? 1t sounds like
a company union. 1t sounds like
one of these generous employers
who say to the men and women
who work for them, You don't
need to form a union. I'll do II
for you-and the union ! give you
will be better than yours because
we won't be fighting each other.
That's what the Republican
Party is trying to do now. They
want to take the industrial Works
ers and the white-collar workerA, ,
and the farmers, and all the
other plain people of this coun-
try and roll them all together in
one big company union and run
it for the benefit of the National
Association of Manufacturers.
"They have all their promises
wrapped up in package called
Unity which they guarantee to
cure more ills than any patent
medicine you ever saw. And they
won't tell you any more about
what's in that package than a
uuack doctor will tell you about
what's in his magic cure-all."
The President referred to the
Taft Hartley Act as the best IL
lustration of the Republican at
titude toward labor:
"The Republican pl a t t or m
brags about the Taft-HartleS
Act; and we are informed that
the Republicans are preparing
even more repressive legislation
for the next Congress.
Il don't believe that labor un-
ions ought to be destroyed. l don't
believe the A m e r / ca 4 people
think so. And on November 2
/, believe the American people
will repudiate the enemies of la
Dor at the ballot box"

Meat Prices Wont
Go Down Sharply
Same Amount Of Meaf
Available This Winter

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
economists say that prices have
reac d a plateau" where
they're likely to stay fairly
steady" for awhile. To the men
and women who have budgets to
stretch, that means that prices
won't 60 up much more, on the
average, but they're not likely to
go down very much, either.
Food prices have gone down a
little, government figures show,
mainly because farmers are un-
loading at the markets the cattle
and hogs that they don't want to
keep in the feed lots this winter.
The year 1949, according to an
Agriculture Department survey
made public last week, will see
about the same amount of meat
available per consumer as this
year.
There will be less beef and
lamb, but more pork next year,
Agriculture Department predicts.
AS for meat prices, which are
already more than twice the pre-
war average per pound, they'll
still be at about this level in
1949, ii is forecast.
IF consumers expenditures in
relation to income should return
more nearly to prewar patterns
as a result of more plentiful sup
plies and cheaper prices for some
foods or for other causes" Agri-
culture Department predicts that
prices could decline as much as
1000. But even after such an adj
iustment, meat prices in 1949
would be higher than in any year
except 1948,"

one was looking. 1t is not a great
play, in fact 1t is as full of holes as
a burlesque comics pants. but it is
extraordinarily funny and refresh
ing to a generation whose rowdies
have been mainly alcoholic aristo-
Gratis. Mr.. Lahr and his colleagues
restore the right to be slap-happy
to its natural owners, the inhabit-
ants of the bargain basement of
dramatic art.
They are a special class who too
long have been deprived of their
unsacred duty of making the public
laugh itself dizzy. Mr.. Lahr and
company correct all that and if there
Is a vacant seat during their week
here, the people who failed to buy
1t deserve their dull fate.
"Burlesque," which Producer Jean
Dalrymple cunningly decided to re-
vive last season, first racked the
legitimate theater in 1927. 1t was
not the play then that it is now for
two reasons. One of these is that
1t did not have Mr.. Lahr and the
other is that burlesque, being every
where at the time, did not have
the sentimental hold on the affec-
tions it enjoys today.
In 1927, a man, or even finan-
cially sound boy, who wanted to
make a study of the prattfall, the
strip-tease, and how corny a comed-
ian could get, had only to sneak
away for a matinee or evening per-
Torrance. Subsequently, the stars
of these odd arts, were seduced
into productions which sold at
$3.50 a seat, were taken into the
better clubs and dressed by the
more austere tailors and lost all
their rowdy charm.
What goes on at the National this
week makes the change look like
a terrible thing and may possibly
explain the debasing materialism of
the last 20 years.
II
The hilarity of "Burlesque" in
1948 is not explainable by what
George Marker Waters and Arthur
Hopkins wrote in three acts 81 years
ago. That little thing, although 1t
served to launch Barbara Stanwyck
on q career and marriage to Robert
Taylor, was almost sheer clumsy
sentiment. It's basic tale was that
of an irresponsible husband who
achieves success through wife
whom he promptly deserts when he
reaches the top.
That has been said by lot of
playwrights, but the Messrs. Wat
ters and Hopkins thought to say
1t of burlesque comic and his
pretty faithful wife. Lahr, of
course, is the comic and Faye Nc
Kenzie is the lovely dove who drag
ged him to his full size as per-
former.
The arresting and amusing thing
about their story is, first, its revel-
alton of how love goes backstage in
burlesque, and, second, its dis
closure of what the rest of the peo-
Pile in such an environment are
like. What they are like is some
thing that you never run across
in polite society, from which you
probably will want to resign after
seeing "Burlesque." s.r. .

On the other hand, he is miraeu-

lieve that he is a tragic figure brok-

love of his life. Clearly he is a man
who had to be graduated from bur-
