Emily Post

This letter is postmarked from
a small town: lis it true that one
of the requirements of formal
dinner is that the men guests
wear tailcoats and the women very
elaborate evening dresses? II so
then in a community such as this
where formal evening dress is
never worn, can a dinner party
ever be considered formal?"
According to the strict meaning
of the word, no. However, the
meaning Of this word today is def
nitely elastic-especially in the
smaller communities where "for-
mali is used to denote the most
nearly formal parties given in the
community.
Brideeroom's Dilemma
Dear Mrs. Post: My flance
seems to have got himself in q
terrible jam! He originally asked
a best friend, for whom he was
best man a year ago, to be best
man at our wedding, but as this
friend lives at a distance he re-
gretted his inability to come on
that date. My f1ance lost no time
in asking a relative to serve. Now
comes a letter from the friend
saying he can be here after all
and would love to be best man
The relative was so pleased and
will be terribly disappointed
What to do and how is the ques-
ton?
Answer: Tell the first friend
exactly what you have written me
and that now it would be very
unfair to spoil this substitutes

Progressive American labor"
Meany continued" believes that
higher wages and better working
conditions, vital as they are, are
not the sole concern of labor, nor
the sole responsibility that indus
try bears to its employees. Unions,
as we'll as management, believes
that education is vital to the work
er. A better educated worker is a
more productive worker. He learns
more in a shorter time, performs
his tasks better and fulfills wider
role in the general community"
Noting that I'VE continue to be
poorly informed on many vital pro-
blems," Meany said, 'the best way
to guard against this is to give
every possible assurance that the
avenues Of communication are made
available to all groups in society.
The interests of labor and the in
terests of the broader community
are for the most part identical. 1t
is essential in these days and in
the days ahead that our common
interests should be emphasized and
the basis of our differences be
understood"

Yet a VA official in report
after an investigation denied dam
age to CT homes was greater thar
to others, asserted the homes were
soundly and properly constructed
denied any laxity in inspections
faults in construction, code viola,
ton or failure by builders to meet
specifications.
The report to the Senate com
mittee points out that local build
ers and subcontractors in Miami
employ principally common labor
on the job and that "it was clearly
evident that these laborers had not
been trained to carry out the crafts
they worked at in a satisfactory OF
efficient manner, and that super
vision was inadequate"
The level of profit per house was
"very good" the report said, and
reputable builders "by and large
have lived up to their responsible
tiles; a small minority and fly-by-
night builders did not"
"If adequate and proper inspec-
tions had been made by FILA, VA,
or the local municipal or county
authorities, many of the defects
observed in our survey and other
surveys would have been prevent
ed in the first instance or would
have been discovered and correct

ers should be held more strictly
accountable for their work" and
there should be "larger and bet

mended.

Civilian Use
(Continued From Page OHe)

Defense Department and other fed
eral manpower agencies more time
to come up with estimates of man
power requirements. The Senate
group had asked the Defense De-
partment, the Labor Department,
Selective Service and the Federal
Security Agency to have their esti-
mates in by Dec. 8, but the sudden
reverses in Korea forced postpone
ment for estimates were sure to
require revision upwards.
For the time being the subcom-
mittee's attention would be largely
directed at manpOwer, because the
nation must know how best to use
manpower to meet both military
and civilian requirements. Event
ually the requirements can be for
mulated in legislation if necessary,
Johnson said. Beyond manpower,
the Johnson group is trying to find
the extent to which military appro-
priations have been translated into
guns, tanks and planes, and how
the process can be accelerated.
Agricultural needs are also being
checked by the subcommittee.
In another defense field, govern
ment action is doing more harm
than good, according to National
Automobile Dealers Association.
William L. Mallon of Newark, n.
j., appearing for the association
before the House-Senate Watch
dog" committee on controls, said
the Federal Reserve Board made
bad mistake when it clamped down
tight credit restrictions on the pur-
chase of automobiles. He asked for
a hearing before the board. The
credit rule on autos require pur-
chaser to pay one third cash and
pay out the balance in 15 months.
Opposition to this and other credit
rules has also been voiced by the
United Auto Workers and other
unions.)

No amount for the monthly pen
sion TO longshoremen has been set
and Of necessity, it must be con-

is understood that a monthly pay
ment Of $40 is being considered.
Pension eligibility rules call for
an applicant to have worked min
imum Of 10,400 hours from 1887 to
the end Of 1949, with an average
Of 800 hours a year and a min
imum Of 400 hours in any one year.
Credits For Military Service
Men having less than 400 hours
Of work for more than 2 calendar
years will not be ruled ineligible,
however, if their absence from the
industry has been caused by sick
ness, injury or military service.
Members absent as the result of
military service after May l, 1910,
get credit for 1000 hours for each
year.
Totally disabled union members
are eligible for benefits if they
have reached the age Of as and
have served in the longshore indus
try not less than Is years, with a
yearly average Of 800 work hours.
The board will begin accepting
applications after Jan. /, and pay

SEES FEW LOSSES OF JOBS IN
SHIFT TO WARTIME PRODUCTION

WashlngtOn-Secretary OF Labor
Maurice j. Tobin thinks there viii
be very little unemployment-anc
that for only brief period-causec
by the shift Of industry from peace
TO defense production.
He announced a government
policy to place defense production
and facilities-orders and plants
in relation to available labor sup
ply and creation Of regional and
area committees to make most ef-
fective use Of manpower.
Secretary Tobin told a news con-
ference that:
/. He expected very little unem-
ployment and that for short per
iod a. plants change over to de-
fense production.
2. There is no need now for any
relaxation Of federal wage and
hour standards, safety or working
rules.
8. No mandatory controls for
manpower to direct workers into
defense jobs or regulate their
transfers are required.
And he knocked down emphatic
ally the report that Defense De-
partment officer had said the gov
enment would deliberately try to
create employment in some areas
inorder to get workers to move to
centers where defense workers
were needed.
"There is no responsible official
in government who will make such
a statement because it isn't true" F."
Secretary Tobin said.
He said the policy agreed upon
by him and federal departments
needed manpower was designed to
avoid any large-scale migrations of
workers and any extreme disloca-
tions of economic and family life.
