WOMEN

Information coming from the
first peacetime group of 16t
trainees of WAVES at the Great
Lakes naval training center seems
to prove that the girls have &
pretty nice life there and they love
lit.
Their balliwick is Camp John
Paul Jones, ION an island of women
in a sea of 10000 men-but they
don't get closer than whistling dis
tance."
Their directors and teachers are
a staff of WAVE veterans headed
by Lieut.. Kathryn Dougherty of
Ottumwa, Iowa.
The girls in training are known
as "Ripples" before they become
WAVES, and they are kept so busy
they wouldn't have time for the
adjacent tars anyhow.
During training they are up at
6 a. m. and put in 8 hours of study,
drill, swabbing floors, serving food
and dusting. And they go to bed
early.
They wear blue dress and work
ing gray uniforms, and when they
are on mop and broom duty they
wear dungarees.
Every girl in training gets a
short haircut as soon as she enters
it is regulation and it is free.
And if a permanent is needed she
gets one.
The "Ripples" spend their two
and a half hours of evening leisure
in a huge, elegant recreation room
decorated by professional inter-
ior decorator. There is a grand
piano, radio-phonograph, sectional
sofas, easy chairs, and flowered
draperies in background of blue,
green and wine shades. There is
also a game room, swimming pool,
gymnasium, soda fountain and
beauty parlor for the girls.
The trainees are all single, rang
ing in age from 20 to 80. Most of
them enlisted because they thought
it would lead to a career or a
chance to see the world, and their
opportunities are unlimited.

Optical Workers
Denied Rights
By Hidden Rule

Washington (LPA)-Another OF
the small hidden barbs of the Taft
Hartley act made itself felt this
week in the NLRB's ruling that
members of the Optical and Instru-
ment Workers Union, were not en-
titled to ask for a representation
election because they were not
completely independent from the
parent CIO, whose officers have
not signed the anti-Communist af-
fidavits.
Officers of the Optical Workers
Organizing Committee have filed
the affidavit, altho the national of
ficers have not, and the board ruled
on the hair-line distinction that the
Optical Committee "lacks the in
sulation which normally exists be-
tween a parent federation and a
full-fledged international union"
1t was a 3-2 decision of the five
man board, with two members up
holding the position that the Com
mittee was in fact a union.
The Optical Workers Committee
was formed in 1912 by an amalga-
nation of several local industrial
unions chartered directly by the
CIO in the optical industry. The
committee has authority to ratify
strikes, charter local unions in its
own name, hold conventions, and
send delegates to conventions the
same as a full-fledged national
union. It's chairman is appointed
by the CIO but the union pays his
salary and he is allowed to appoint
the secretary and treasurer.

AFL COUNCIL OUTLINES
KEY LEGISLATIVE AIMS

Miami (LPA)-A full agenda,
topped by action on Taft Hartley
repeal and Wagner act revision,
was tackled this week by the AFL's
l15-man Executive Council.
While waiting to see what is
presented by the Administration
before Congressional committees
now holding hearings on TIL re-
peal, the AFL chieftains outlined
a farsighted housing program, and
discussed world trade union rela-
tionships.
On housing, the AFL calls the
Administration housing bill "an
improvement over the Taft -Ellend-
er-Wagner housing BILL" and lauds
the provision calling for construct
ion Of 100000 public low-rent
units over the next seven years,
tho the AFL resolution indicates
that this goal can be reached in
four years.
However, the AFL "cannot ac-
eept" the Administration bill "as
the solution to our housing problem
because it contains no provisions
for middle-income families" who
make up about 37hs Of all US fam
lies. These are the families with
incomes between $1,000 and $4,000.
The AFL calls for direct federal
loans to large-scale rental and CO.
operative housing, available to pub
lie agencies, cooperatives, non-pro-
fit and limited dividend corpora
tons, and private builders who can
conform to rent schedules Of about
$50 to $50.
The "so-called economy house, !,
promoted by home builders asso-
ciation and the Housing & Home
Finance Agency as a substitute
for the program proposed by the
AFL, is no solution, the resolution
charges. If these economy houses"
really are built in substantial num-
bers, they "may well become the
slums Of tomorrow"
The AFL Council also called for:
IA housing census in 1850,
taken along with the usual popu-
lation census. Fact and figures
about housing shortages and rent
costs are woefully incomplete, at
present, and the AFL wants Con-
gress to appropriate funds for a
census.
2-Extension of the rent control
law for a two year period, or until
Congress or the President decides
it's no longer necessary. The AFL
also wants the new bill to give the
power to sue for
treble damages and to seek Grim
inal prosecution Of repeated and
wilful offenders. The trent advisory
boards" should be reorganized to
insure effective labor representa-
ton, and national advisory COM
mittee including organized labor
should be set up. The 1526 volun-
tary lease provision should be
ended. "Recontrol or extension Of
control to those geographic areas
and classes of rental Accommodations |
whose exemption has seriously |
weakened adequate rent controls"
particularly new construction, per-
accommodations in resi-
1ential hotels, motor courts, trail |
ers and trailer spaces.
The Council still has to act on
reports dealing with negotiations
looking to return of the Int'l As
sociation of Machinists to the AFL,
an investigation of charges of
Communist influences in the Can
adian Trades & Labor Congress,
and reports on the AFL's intena-
tional relations.
In addition, meetings to plot the
next steps in the AFL's political
education and electoral machinery
are being held. These include not
only discussions about the work of

Comment On
World Events


The Russian government is ap-
parently still holding many--per-
haps good many hundred-Fin-
nish prisoners Of war, who should
have been released long time ago.
The Newsletter from Behind the
Iron Curtain" published by the
Baltic Review in Stockholm, tells
the story. 1t says:
"The Finno-S Soviet Armistice in
1914 required the immediate
mutual repatriation Of PWs. Fin
land followed this requirement,
most scrupulously and with all
speed although the difficulties en-
lcountered in its execution were not
few. A large number Of Soviet
PWs, who had been set to work on
the land or at timber cutting and
treated in a humane manner re-
fused point blank TO be repatriated
| hid in the forests or with the in
habitants for whom they had work
ed and, particularly in the case Of
soldiers Of Carelian origin, escaped
across the frontier to Sweden and
Norway.
at was a troublesome and un-
palatable task for the Finnish
authorities to round up these most
unwilling repatriants and to deliver
them to the Russian, authorities.
This was done nevertheless and
among the genuine Soviet citizens,
much against the general feeling
in Finland, even a number of
Estonians were extradited who had
sought sanctuary in Finland dur
ing the occupation of their country
by the Germans.
4 4 :.
''The Soviets also sent back some
Finnish PWs though a smaller
number than could have been ex-
pected. In few months both coun-
tries stated on their honor (Fin-
land being able to do this with
clean conscience) that no more
more former enemy PWs were to
be found on their territory and the
exchange of prisoners was declared
closed.
"Since this date there have been
a number of cases of former sold
iers of the Finnish army having
taken themselves clandestinely over
to Finland from Soviet Russia
where they have been detained as
PWs. They usually made a report
to the Finnish authorities on the
horrible and inhuman conditions in
their camps of detention and gave
information on localities where
the Soviets are still keeping hund-
reds of Finnish PWs at slave labor
long after the exchange of PWs
has been declared closed.
son the basis Of these reports |
the Finnish government has COM
piled a list of Finnish PWs still in |
the USSR who could be identified |
by name. This list, containing over
300 names, has been communicated
to the Soviet authorities at Moscow
and the Finnish government is try
ing with all possible discretion to
effect the liberation of these Fin |
nish citizens from Soviet forced |
labor"
:. :. !.
The newsletter points out that |
the position of Finland on this
matter is very delicate; as a small |
and defeated nation it cannot voice
strong claims and has to swallow
many insults and much injustice. |
The United States and Great Bri-
tain have recently taken up the
question of prisoners of war still
held by the Russians; it is to be
hoped they will include Finnish
soldiers in Soviet slavery in their
case.
Most women can't add and don't |
care to learn.

WHAT'S COOKING

Do you know there is right
and wrong way to store eggs?
The large end of the egg should
be up! This large end of the egg
normally contains the air cell
which should be on top as the egg
stands in its container. If the large
end is down, the weight of the egg
presses on the cell, causing the air
to rise and gradually loosen the
membrane. At the same time the
yolk, because it is lighter in
weight than the white rises from
its normal position in the center
to the top or small end. Eggs with
yolks out of position are of lower
grade than eggs with yolks in the
center.
Remember, large end up!

Of vote taken of nearly 10000
homemakers among PTA's, wo-
mems clubs, home demonstration
groups and others, a heat-resistant
handle that can be grasped safely
without the bother of using a pot
holder is the most attractive asset
a cooking utensil can have.
Women expressed preference,
too, for cooking utensils with tight
fitting covers and heat resistant
knobs on the lids.

 King-pin of Los Angeles County is colerful Sheriff Eugene BScail- liz. who seems to get no more ex- cited about an occasional gang shooting than about the gambling that attracts crowds along Sunset Strip. After the hooolums spattered the front of Sherry's with shotgun slugs in an effort to bump off Mickey Cohen, Sheriff Biscailu2 decided to re-enact the crime with all witnesses present. So, ac- companied by newsmen and photo graphers, the Sheriff arrived with his retinue But no witnesses.
 After a lot of waiting, hemmine and having, the Sheriff remarked Well, they must have been tired or maybe they went to the fights tonight"
 Whereupon he had his picture taken, pointing at the bullet holes and went home.

 Even more important, this purge is a direct blow mtee of Congress cannot seek the advice of military officer without subjecting him to reprsal from the Defense Secretary and the President then the in- vestigative powers of Congress will become mockery.
 From this point no official will dare to answer straightforward questions asked of him by congress sional committees, unless he can afford to resign at once and thus escape Louis Johnson's personal ven- geance or that of the President.

Local Papers 'Scooped"

When General Worton took Of flee late last summer, just about everything under the sun happened at once. Mickey Cohen, much publicized Sultan of the under world, had just been shot at. Wor- tons predecessor as chief of po- lice had just been indicted-though later acquitted. And a raft of dlc- taphone recordings taken from a microphone hidden in Mickey Co., hens house made headlines in the I4os Angeles papers.
 Indicative of the eaSygoing leth- afgy of the Los Angeles police force, was, first. the fact that these dictaphone recordings had been laying in a police lieutenant's gar age for months. And, second, the fact that the recordings were sold to various underworld leaders be- fore they were shown to the new chief of police.s4
 In fact, Los Angeles generally was so uninterested in it's own po- lice graft that Dick Hyer of the San Francisco Chronicle stole the story right from under the noses Of the Los Angeles newspapers. And for some days, Los Angeles papers were frantically rewriting the San Francisco Chronicle stories in order to report what was going on in their own town.

Police Improvement Noted

The Los Angeles press seems to love Sheriff Biscailuz and seldom points to the fact that it's in his bailiwick that things are wide open free and easy Of course, there may be reason for this love. Not long ago the Sheriff threw a party at the Eastside Brewery, with young army of newsmen present. There was also plenty of bourbon and filet mignon. Just how the Sheriff could afford such a party remains a mystery, but his objective was no mystery.
 We've all been in this thing to- gether for long time" he said, in a little speech of welcome. "So remember your old friend Gene Biscailuz if things start popping. And remember we've always been friends"
 A few days later 200 deputy sher- if badges, as big as pepSi-cola badges, were handed out to the press.
 No wonder, when General Wor- ton took over the Los Angeles po- lice and started cleaning up, he was razzed by certain newspapers. He hadn't learned the trick of passing out filet mignon. bourbon and de- putty sheriff badges.
 The ex-Marine Corps General leads lonely life, but it's begin ming to pay dividends. Every night after supper he makes a surprise inspection of police station. Ev- cry day he is getting better morale, more loyalty, and more work from his men. Many of the Los Angeles police force are now ex-veterans and, though green, take their work seriously.
 Worton's greatest problem is the fact that under Civil Service rules he can hold office only four months. This rule was adopted to keep politics out of the police force. But now the politicians and the holsters are falling back on it to keep off their necks for more than temporary period the greatest cleanup servant Los Angeles has ever seen. A
