political hide of Senator Taft. If
he has to kowtow to the labor
leaders, then it is said, Mayor
Burke will not be a candidate.
His principal strength lies in the
big vote in Cleveland. In the rest
Of the State he is a comparative
unknown.
Darling of Labor Leaders.
Murray Lincoln, on the other
hand, is the darling of the labor
leaders, who are anxious to tie
labor and the farmers together
in great political organization.
Not only do they want Mr.. Lin
coin for the nominee against Sen
ator Taft, but there is strong
reason to believe that the powers
in Washington, including Presi-
dent Truman. would be pleased
If he were the choice.
Mr.. Lincoln is meeting strong
opposition from the Ohio organi-
zation Democrats. They look on
him as a Republican. He reg
istered Republican way back in
1928 and has never changed the
registration. However. /Mr. Lin
coin in the last five Presidential
elections is understood to have
voted four times for Democratic
candidates. He missed, it is; said,
only in 1910, supporting Wendell
Willkie on the third term issue.
Former Senator Huffman is a
son-in-law of Honest Vic" Dona-
hey, who was a Democratic State
auditor, Governor and Senator.
Mr.. Huffman served for a short
time in the Senate under appoint
ment, and then was defeated in
1916 by Senator Bricker. Mr..
McSweeney ranks as dark horse
candidate for the senatorial nom
ination.
AS of today. Mr. Ferguson is
doing all the running. If he is
nominated and placed at the head
of the ticket it is predicted he
will fade in his race with Senator
Taft. Mayor Burke. whose salary
as Mayor has been raised to
$4,000, may not wish to leave
Cleveland. He is running for re-
election as Mayor this fall and
there seems no chance he will be
defeated.

Arnold Line Workers
Meeting 10 Discuss .
Possibility Of Strike

Union employees of the Arnold
bus line were meeting today to
decide whether to strike or wait
the firms efforts to get fare in
crease with which to pay for re-
Gently arbitrated wage increases.
The bus line employees were
awarded a 17-cent-an-hour wage
increase on September 9, retro
active to the former contract ex-
piration date in May, but officials
of the line,-the Washington,
Virginia & Maryland Coach Co.
have said there is insufficient
revenue to pay the increases,
estimated at $20O, ,Oe0 a year.
The line, which serves Wash
ington and points in Arlington,
Fairfax and Falls Church, filed
petitions last Friday for a rate
increase to cover the wage boosts.
The company asked the Virginia
State Corporation Commission and
the Interstate Commerce Commits
sion for an increase of Scents
per-zone and to cut the number of
tokens for 81 from eight to six.
The proposed increase would range
fares from 20 to 40 cents.
Bernard Wahle, the company's
executive director and general
manager. told union officials dur
ing sessions yesterday that reve-
nueS will not meet the increased
payroll.
According to the last wage
agreement, the drivers and af-
filiated employees, whose top pay
now ranges from $1..35 to SLAB an
hour, will receive the increase
progressively-10 cents an hour
from the old contract expiration
date of May 18 to October 3; then
5 cents more until March 20, and
the last 2 cents beginning March
80.

ness agent of Division 1919, Anal

Observers Impressed
By NaW's Show Of
Air Power at Sea
By John A. Giles
Stcr StuH Correspondent

NORFOLK. Va, Sept. a.
About 80 leaders in business, in
dustrial and professional fields
returned to their homes today
after a week-long tour of defense
installations climaxed by a prece-
dent-breaking occasion when the
Air Force visited the Navy at its
seat of power at sea.
They were aboard the $4,000
ton aircraft carrier Franklin D.
Roosevelt, which docked here
early today after one-day opera
tions off Cape Henry to demon
strate how the Navy operates and
spends its money. Also aboard was
Defense Secretary johnson, who
landed in a helicopter and then
returned to Washington in the
Navy's biggest long-range bomber.
Air Force Secretary Symington,
aboard a carrier at sea for the first
time. as was Mr.. Johnson, watched
a P2-V Neptune twin-engined
bomber, weighing $1,000 pounds,
with a range of more than 1000
miles. take off from the carrier
and then joined Mr.. johnson
in boarding the same plane from
the carrier Midway for the return
trip to Washington.
johnson Is Impressed.
II the Navy has a competitor
for the Air Force B-36, which
civilian leaders saw spectacuIarly
demonstrated in Florida, it is the
P2-V. Asked by a civilian mem
Der OF the group if he had changed
his mind about the B-36 after
seeing the Neptune launching,
Mr.. Symington replied: What
has that got to do with this?"
Mr.. johnson thought the oper-
ations were 'terrifically impress
sive," while Army Secretary Gray,
commenting that he had seen such
maneuverS only ''in the movies"
also found them; exciting.
Operations went off without any
one getting hurt, but two planes,
one OF them twin-jet Banshee,
which some Navy partisans say
can knock down B-36s, and the
other, Skyraider attack bomber,
missed arresting wires and hit
barriers. Admiral w. H. P.
Blandy, Atlantic Fleet command
er. and Navy Secretary Matthews
explained this was the first time
in about 1000 jet landings such
accidents had occurred.
Navy Stages Night Show.
The Navy staged one OF it's most
hazardous and difficult shows of
seapower last night as two fight
ers and the two attack bombers
departed from and landed aboard
the darkened Roosevelt.
But seasoned observers felt the
pilots were not up to the wartime
standard of such operations in
the Pacific and inquiry revealed
night maneuver practice is held
only about once a month.
Nevertheless, civilian leaders
being "orientated" by the defense
department, Gen. Vandenberg, Air
Force chief of staff; Gen. Collins,
Army chief of staff, and others,
were impressed by the final show.
There was the usual adagio-
dancing of the landing signal Off
Ger to bring planes in. At night he
was dressed in Phosphorus
striped uniform and carried elec-
trio paddles to signal planes.

LabOr's Share In
Building Cost

NEW YORK - up ~ The labor
portion Of construction cost IS
about the same today as 90 years
ago. Myron L. Matthews of the Dow
Service Building REPORTS, finds the
percentage of building cost involv-
ed in payrolls on the site varies
among projects, but the average
has ranged between 80 per cent and
So per cent.
For one-fam.ly houses averag-
ing under $4,000 without land" he
says, "the payroll ranges around
40.7 per cent, as against 32.5 per
cent for houses in the $4,000 to S10,-
600 group. and 3O7 ner cent for
houses costing $4,000 and over.
Labor cost in relation to total cost
has been greater on large scale o.
peratiOns than on small projects.
The higher percentages we're ex-
perienced in the admittedly make
work housing projects Of the Pub
lie Works Administration in the
1935-1937 period"

Scandal In The

WASHINGTON - (P) - Mrs. w.
Wayne Lamar thinks bees in the
bonnet might be all right if they
stay there and not go messing a
round her African violet plants. She
told members Of the Metropolitan
African Violet Club she came home
the other evening to find a bee
running wild with my 600 African
Violet plants that are strewn from
the basement to the attic"
What happends, of course, is that
bees cross-pollinate the plants and
you don't know what you'll have
for the next flower show.

and pull off the bloom stems, the
feminine part Of the flower" Mrs
Lamar said. ''And even now I'm no;
sure l won't come up with some

Common Cold Costs
Wage Farmers Heavy


The State Board Of Health said
today that probably 50,00O,OO0
people in the United States lose at
least one working day each year
because Of the common cold. If
the average wage Garner makes
$500 per day, then the loss amounts
to $3.50, 600. Assuming that the
average American family spends
$1,000 annually on medicine and
doctors care during cold, then
another $4O0,00O,O00 can be added
to the total cost. Various studies
indicate that from 40 to so per
cent of all working days lost be-
cause Of illness are due to the
common cold. These figures are all
conservative estimates. If the true
statistics could be found, the total
expense Of this disease would
doubtless amount to much more.
The common cold can be pre-
vented to a great extent by avoid
ing exposure to the disease and
practicing sound health habits de-
signed to maintain the body's re-
sistance. 1t is best to avoid crowds,
infected people, overheated rooms,
and sudden changes in tempera-
ture. Get plenty of sleep, proper
food, exercise, and keep your hands
especially clean. If you do catch
cold, go to bed for a day or two;
and if the symptoms are severe,
call your physician. Above all, be
courteous to your family and
friends by protecting them from
your disease.
