FLASH!

Just as The Advertiser goes
to press with the story of Pat
Scobey's engagement and ap-
preaching marriage to Jack
Yates = suddenly Uncle Sam
and the Korean war plays havoc
with the young couples plans.
Jack received an alert from the
army and may be called to ac-
tive duty any time. So
The marriage planned for la
ter this month, details with pic
ture on society page 8, have
been moved up and they will
be married instead Saturday of
this week at the Scobey home
at six o'clock in the evening.
And so the best laid plans
as the old saying goes.
Regardless of when Pat and
Jack get married they have a
whole lot of friends in this COM
munity who wish them all the
happiness in the world!

Betting in Washington was that
Valentine wouldn't tamper with the(
JAW contracts. Tipoff was the
new railroad agreement concluded
at the White House Dec. Il with
the approval of Presidential Assist
ant John r. Steelman. If Valentine
were going to outlaw the "escala-
tors, which many unions have OBJ
tained since Korea accentuated a
price rise that began last spring,
Steelman wouldn't allow the rail
unions to write them into an agree
ment, observers reasoned.
Presumably Valentine would act
on the basis of report submitted
by Cyrus Ching's Wage Stabiliza-
ton Board, which has three labor
members. JAW President Reuther
appeared before the Ching board
Dec. 20 to argue eloquently for the
escalators. At a press conference
later, Reuther reported that he'd
urged "wage parity for industrial
workers not unlike the "price par
ity" accorded farmers. (Farm par
tiles are worked out on a formula
designed to hold power of the
farmers to purchase industrial pro-
ducts at a high level.) Spokesman
for General Motors and Ford sup
ported the wage escalators at the
hearing but wanted price escalators
too.
The Defense Production Act
under which controls are being i'm
posed should be amended, Reuther
said. AS presently drawn, the act
allows middlemen or professors"
to milk both the farmer and the
city worker, he declared, because
industry wrote some of the dogges
they learned under OPA into the
new law.
On the day Reuther appeared be-
fore the Sterilization Board, the
United Labor Policy Committee
visited the White House to tell
President truman that wages can
not be stabilized unless food prices
and rents are controlled. The COM
mittee also presented wage stabil-
ization proposals which contained
the main principles of the "wage
parity" argument and pointed out
that wage earners should share in
h. e l,, ,a@s
The proposals were offered 'to get
the emergency production program
under way as quickly and effective
ly as possible" The 14-man COM
mittee is composed of four from
the AFL, four from the CIO, two
from the Machinists and two from
the Railway Labor Executives
Association.
