"BObby-sOxers who lack beaux,
whistles, and friends should take
a long look at their emotions, at
what makes them tick" advises
Elizabeth Porter, assistant direc-
tor of the Family Service agency
in New Dreams.
Girls who are manless usually
have serious personal problems,
she says. It's not necessarily their
clothes, tOOthpaste or makeup -
they've got to find out what ticks
inside of them that sends the boys
running.
According to Miss Porter, you
can spot the girl who is complex
ridden. She's fat or a sufferer or
as nervous as a cat
Naturally you get fiat from eat
ing calories, she says. But the
girl who VOLTS her food down in
desperation usually has something
eating her-sometimes insecurity.
Miss Porter explains:
Girls bandage ego with banana
splits when they feel insecure and
unloved Lacking men, they con-
centrate on maits and the
fatter they get. the simmer be-
come their chance of snagging
SWANS"
Here's a sample quiz suggested
by Miss Porter to find out whether
scrambled insides are affecting
your outside appearance:
/. Do you walk with your eyes
cast down like you were searching
for something lost?
2. Do you take long, masculine,
determined strides like a four-let-
ter fullback?
8. DO you SLOUGH like crouch
Or perch at the end of your chair
as if there were a coiled RATHER
in back of you?

4. Do you talk and laugh a little
too uproariously?
5. Are you always either chew
ing gum or fiddhng around with
your hands?
6, Do you find it hard to look
folks straight in the eye?
Every yes is an indication
that yOn are insecure and unhap-
py. Girls who walk confidently,
talk pleasantly and straight-for-
warldly and are always at ease
are happy and well adjusted, she
says.
If you want to have a smoother,
happier life, check yourself with
this quiz and then talk your woes
over with your parents or a teach.
er or a family counselor. You
might find your date-rating go up.

.Symington Hits
Enormous Profits,
Will Crack Down

Washington fLPA)-Thes apollo
gists for big business have beer
sneering at labor's charges of pro
fiteering. Let them try to laugh
off the charges made Sept. Is by
w. Stuart Symington, chairman ol
the National Security Resources
Board.
Symington referred to profits as
"disgraceful", recent price rises
"ihcredible", and assailed "unpat-
riotic chiselers". In fact, said Sym
ington, the government will soor
crack down on them. 'a
Appearing before the Senate
Military Preparedness Committee
he said a few big hoarders had
skyrocketed prices, and that pro-
fiteering was the "most serious
problem affecting the defense pro-
gram.
Symington was also blunt about
control legislation. He called cum
bersome the provision requiring
wage controls whenever price con-
trolls are put in effect. He pointed
out that current price increases
''in effect are wage reductions.
Symington said he still hoped
profiteering could be curbed with
out price-wage controls, and the
government may try first seizing
inventories Of hoarders and throw
ing the inventories in the defense
stockpile.
Symington was especially bitter
about the tremendous jump in the
price of crude rubber, which has
jumped 161 per cent since the
Korean war. Zine prices have jump
ed 62 per cent.
"We would like to get hold of
some of the big hoarders and show
their contributions to the war eff
fort", said Symington. 81 look for
ward to presenting the facts to
this committee"
While Synnington was belaboring
the hoarders, government officials
announced that President Truman
had ordered full production of the
nations synthetic rubber facilities
into operation at once. More alco-
hol producing facilities are being
reopened to bring production of
synthetic rubber to 100000 tons a
year. The order means reopening|

LPA Service Wins
Praise From AFL
Labor Press Arm
lBy N. B. O. r. DeIegatesl

Houston, Tex. (LPA)-Attribute
to the job done by Labor Press
Association in providing union pub
licatiohs with an all-around service
to meet their editorial needs was
paid by the International Labor
Press of America at it's convention
here.
A report adopted by the con,
vention pointed out that LPA
"came into being because of a de.
finite need and it has been aideo
financially by number of nation
'al and international unions, as well
by the AFL and CIO in direct con.
tributions."
"LPA has filled vital need and
has to large extent eliminated
the influence of the Communist
dominated Federated Press service
in the field of the legitimate labor
press" the report declared.
The report asserted, however
that the similarity in names be-
tween LPA and the Int'l Labor
Press of America has caused con-
fusion.
Hence, it recommended that the
President of ILPA appoint COM
mittee to meet with a committee
NCf LPA so that solution can be
worked out whereby the confusion
in names can be eliminated"

Houston, Tex. (LPA
Truman's action in forcing the re-
signation of Robert N. Denham as
counsel of the National Labor Re-
lations Board was hailed here by
AFL President William Green.
"All labor will receive the decis-
ion with genuine pleasure" Green
said.
."The Taft Hartley Act itself is
highly Objectionable to labor, but
Denham's administration of it made
the law even worse. We hope his
successor will measure up better
to the requirements of the job.
However, it is our fixed and
irrevocable policy to bring about
repeal of the Taft-Hartley law.
That's why we're in politics"
Prospects are good for the de-
feat of Senator Robert Taft, one of
the laws sponsors, as well as other
reactionaries, and fer election of a
congressional majority with a
mandate for repeal Of the TIL act.
Green said.
He cited the fact that registra-
tion is up 80 per cent in Cleveland,
and he declared this augurs a big
anti-Taft vote by labor.
Also Green emphasized that
there's perfect unity" in this
political campaign between all
labor forces-AFL, CIO, Railroad
Brotherhood, Mine Workers and
Machinists.
Green declared, too, that labor
will be ready to make no-strike
pledge when necessary and Tru-
man so requests. But such pledge
is not necessary as yet, Green said.

housewives. So that most of the adj
ditions to the labor force woulo
have to be women.
The Labor Department study
said that with an armed force OF
100000, war industries would
have 100000 more workers than
they have now, but the industries
producing civilian goods would
have to cut their work force by
100000, or about 25 per cent.
Since there is virtually full en-
ployment now, and since those CON-
ing into the labor force would for
the most part be less skilled or en-
tirely unskilled, the Labor Depart
ment has recommended that the ex-
panding number of skilled jobs be
filled by upgrading those already
at work at semi-skilled jobs. That
would mean increased pay, through
higher rate classification, even if
wages We're Stabilized.
Defense plants already have been
given priority in hiring. All 1900
Federal-state employment offices
have been so instructed.
The industries in which employ
ment is far below wartime peak
are aircraft, shipbuilding and ordn
ance, as shown by the drop of 35
per cent in the metal working in
dustries since 1943.

New Contract Calls For
1O-Cent Hourly Raise For
Potters At Robinson, III.

; Robinson, Ill.-The membership
Of Local 1T wish to thank First
Vice President E. l.. Wheatley and
our local committee for negotiat-
ing new wage contract calling for
a 712-cent wage increase along
with a welfare plan worth another
Scents.
The welfare plan includes 81 ,0C0
life insurance; S26.00 maximum
per week for sickness or accident;
hospital daily benefits up to $3.50
for 81 days; miscellaneous hospital
charges up to $40; surgical ex-
penses up to 5000; medical expense
benefits up to $1,000.
The hospital coverage includes
employees and dependents with a
60-cent per week premium for en-
ployees or $1.10 cents per week
covering employees and depend
ents.
Before this plan can be put into
effect a seventy-five per cent maj
ority Of those with or without de-
pendents must sign a card accept
ing it. We believe this plan to be
the most for the money in compar-
ison TO what we now have and hope
all will sign up.
The committee of Local 1T real
izing the distance from our nation
al representative, wish to express
our appreciation to Brother Wheat
ley for his efforts with US via mail,
telephone and his frequent visits
to our plant lately in helping US
reach this new agreement.
The setting was near perfect as

thing better to settle a wage in

liquid refreshments. Everyone had
a good time and we extend thank
you to the management and per-
sonnel department.
The plant is going very good
with a lot of new employees being
hired. We hope business continues
this way, giving full employment
to members of our trade.
We would like to see more mem

Washington (LPA)-Rising un-
employment was more than a mere
cloud on the horizon a few months
ago. The situation has changed Sc
sharply that there are manpoweI
shortages now in eight critical oc-
cupations, and the labor market is
tight in at least 19 cities.
Where unemployment was hover
ing at the 100000 mark not long
ago, it had dropped to 2,5OO,OOO by
mid-August. From mid-July to
mid-August, US factories broke
hiring records by adding 100000 to
their payrolls. Civilian employment
increased by about 100000 in
August, and stood at 62,400,000.
Industrial production was per
cent above July, and new postwar
peak. Total employment was more
than 100000 above August 1949.
About 95 per cent of the nations
labor force is now employed. That
means that if defense production
is increased an appreciable extent,
such workers must be drawn from
civilian production, or from those
not now in the labor force.
The manpower supply can be ex-
panded by 100000 to 69,100,O0O,
according to a special study by the
Department of Labor. These $780,

Washington (LPA)-If a drug
manufacturer wants to put arsenic
in your tooth paste, the Food q
Drug Administration can stop him
But if he wants to put the same
thing in your breakfast food they
can't do a thing about it; not till
after you've already eaten the
stuff.
DR.. Paul Dunbar, chief of the
FDA, told a Congressional COM
mittee Sept. ID that the laws
should be changed to correct this
situation.
Dunbar appeared before the
House Select Committee to Investi-
gate the Use Of Chemicals in Food
Products. The committee, headed
by Rep. James j. Delaney Cd, N.Y.,
is looking into the use of preser-
vatives in food processing and
packaging as well as the use of
insecticides and fertilizers in grow
ing the food.
Congress put section on "new
drugs" into the act in 1888. "In
1897, Dunbar related, eight or
nine people died in Oklahoma after
use of a product called Elixir of
Sulfanilamide."
Sulfanilamide, first of the wond-
er drugs, had just appeared on the
market. One manufacturer decided
a liquid mixture Of sulfanilamide
would sell well, looked for a SOL
vent, and ended up using the same

chemical that Is used for anti
freeze in cars. The chemist tried
it out on a few guinea pigs ,ano
they lived. SO the manufacturer
produced 100000 gallons of the
stuff and distributed it in good
many sections of the country. Be
fore the FDA had run down and
confiscated all the elixir, 100 peo-
pie had died.
Congress reacted instantaneous
ly. 1t introduced the ''new drug
section" into the act, under which
the manufacturer must offer ade-
quate evidence that any drug in
interstate commerce is safe for
use according to the directions on
the label.
DR.. Dunbar pointed out that
there is no comparable section in
the food chapter of the act. The
FDA can only determine whether a
food product is safe after it has
been distributed. AS a result, he
pointed out, "there are occasional
slips-possibly like the elixir of
sulfanilamide episode"
Deploring the use of the buying
public as "guinea pigs" Dunbar
asked for an amendment to the law
that would provide for preliminary
studies of the effects of new chem
icals in foods, and as sprays on
growing crops. He also asked that
his department be given subpoena
powers to compel reluctant wit

City Congressman
Have Harder Time
Getting Elected

Congressman from big industria
cities have a tougher time getting
elected than do their colleague!
representing rural districts, ac
cording to election expert Louis H
Bean, author of the current best
seller "The Midterm Battle"
That's because city voters
particularly union members-are
more critical of their congressmer
and do more shopping around
among the candidates and the par
ties.
In "The Midterm Battle"-which
labor's political leaders have
recommended to all union members
Bean points out the difference
between urban and rural voting be-
havior. He is the highly-respected
political analyst and forecaster
who predicted Democratic victory
in 1948.
About Pennsylvania, for ex-
ample, bean says:
"The rural VS.. industrial balance
has shifted a great deal. Fifty
years ago the sparsely-populated
rural counties were more Demo-
cratic than the cities. But today
the urban counties, where most of
the voting population lives, are
more Democratic than the rural
areas"
Bean illustrates the Importance
of the votes cast by union men,
bers by pointing out:
"Vote- shifting in the past decade
has been largely in industrial CEN
tsrs, not rural areas. For example,
6 of the 10 seats the Republicans
gained were in Philadelphia, while
the other a were in Scranton,
