NEW YORK, FRIDAY, JUNE 25, 1943.

Never Touched the Target

We think the President has scored one of his occasional
misses, in proclaiming his plan to have the draft age raised
to 65 years, so that strikers can be inducted, or scared, or
something, and sent back to work.

What's our problem? Our problem is total produ-
tion for total war.

Check. Then why not a positive plan for total pro-
duction for total war, instead of a negative plan for what
to do in case we don't get total production?

A National Service Act, modeled on Britain's, would give the proper officials the right to assign industrial, farm and other tasks to every citizen in the country, young or old, male or female. That plan has been in effect in England for three years and one month. And there's plenty of democracy left in England. But very few strikes. And oddly enough, no vicious anti-strike bills, either.

And no angry soldiers, lulling themselves to sleep with
thoughts of what they'd like to do to John L. Lewis.

Does it sound dreadfully compulsory? In practice, it
comes down to an office, where you check in and where
you are advised by a skillful, informed interviewer as to
which job it would be most clearly in the national interest
for you to hold.

If you reject the advice, you can be prosecuted and
you can go to jail. It hardly ever happens. First, there's
almost always a choice of jobs. Second, labor standards
are enforced in all jobs. Third, because of the very exist-
ence of this law, everybody knows that nobody is kidding.
Compulsion for everybody, by everybody, is democratic self-
discipline.

It Isn't Total

But we're still trying to sneak totality over on ourselves,
indirectly, obliquely, while resolutely calling it something
else. So, we play around.

The Congress passes a vicious Connally bill, which has no place in the American legal system. It writes in anti-strike provisions which are so bad that Congress itself doesn't dare to apply them to all industry, but only to industry "taken over by the government." Then into this fuzzy little stinker, the Congress puts a gratuitous clause ending political contributions by labor unions, so as to keep them from fighting back.

Follows, then, the President's plan. And the President's
plan brings us no nearer to a total effort.

A National Service Act would proclaim that all war
service, whether in the forces or in the factories, is of equal
standing, and equal importance. But the President's plan,
instead of lifting civilian work to the Army level of neces-
sity and dignity, degrades the Army into a sort of jail
for bad men in the factories.

The President's plan reaffirms that a man is not really
serving unless he is in the forces, whereas the point we
must get over is that all of us are in the war, wherever
we work.

The President's plan still leaves us puttering as regards
the problem of best using womanpower, whereas a National
Service Act would mobilize both sexes.

We're coming toward a National Service Act, we think.
But, oh, so slowly.

Mr. Spangler Should Be Ashamed

Last Friday almost the entire Republican membership of the House of Representatives voted in favor of higher food prices, with the controls reduced and no subsidies.

The chairman of the Republican National Committee, Mr. Harrison Spangler, seems to have decided that yesterday was a good day to get off a gag about the Administration.

So, six days after the House vote, he quips that "If the new Deal prices food continue to go up," it will probably take $8,000 to buy a breakfast.

Thus he blithely plays both ends against the middle,
the Republican organization votes to cut down on OPA,
that raises prices. Then the party turns around and de-
nounces high prices. Whom does Mr. Spangler think he
is fooling?

SHAW COMMENTS

The equality to aim at is a suf-
ficient equality of income to make
all our men and women inter-
marriageable."

Asked whether he would recon-
sider his decision about going to
America and, if not, why he did
not wish to go, the playwright
passed up a chance to take a fling
at Hollywood by simply observ-
ing: "I haven't made any decision
about it. I will go tomorrow if
necessary. But I never want to
go anywhere, because I always
find plenty to do where I am."

On the subject of returning to
pre-war newspapers from the
present editions, abbreviated by
wartime restrictions on news-
print, Mr. Shaw wrote: "I haven't
noticed any serious difference.
There is no use talking to an
octogenarian about new styles
and old styles. He was familiar
with all the latest novelties be-
fore you were born."

On the Working Man.

It is almost possible to envision
the sardonic twinkle in Mr. Shaw's
eye as he wrote the answer to the
concluding question, "What
do you consider will constitute
happy living for the working
man?" The reply: "It is not what
I consider but what he considers
that you have to ascertain. I do
not consider either the working
man as he exists today or his
parasites, the ladies and gentle-
men, desirable species. They will
be better dead. For their succes-
sors, I cannot answer."

Although he had not been will-
ing to receive Miss Barden in
person, Mr. Shaw evidenced an
appreciation of the value report-
ers put on special interviews by
inscribing his answers, "Exclu-
sive to Miss Judy Barden. G.

CHICAGO SKIPS PAY

Chicago, Sept. 21 (A. P.).—The
money box in the Cook County
Treasurer's office for pay roll
purposes was empty today and
payless pay days until December
1 for some 6,000 employees was
forecast by Treasurer Victor L.
Schlaeger.

Some $625,000 was to have been
distributed to the employees yes-
terday, but Schlæger did not sign
the checks. It was the first pay-
less pay day in the county since
1933.

There'll be money coming into
the Treasurer's office in the next
ten weeks, Mr. Schlæger ex-
plained, but it is earmarked for
specific purposes—not for pay
rolls. Approximately $3,000,000
would be needed to meet the next
five semi-monthly pay rolls.

New Selective Service Ruling.

that if a wife is physically able

done, the fact that she is or is
not working will have no bearing
on her husband's deferment from
military service.

Army Halts Recruiting
Of Engineers by Elks

James R. Nicholson, chairman
of the war commission of the
Benevolent and Protective Order
of Elks announced today that he
had received a telegram from
Major-Gen. Eugene Reybold,
Chief of Engineers, Washington,
D. C., advising him that as a re-
sult of the Elks' efforts, the
Army program for the recruit-
ment of qualified men for the
Construction Engineers has been
met three months ahead of sched-
ule, thus calling for the immedi-
ate suspension of the voluntary
recruitment program.

The Elks lodges throughout the
country have been co-operating
with the joint Army-Navy pro-
gram to recruit qualified con-
struction men for the Army En-
gineering Corps and the Navy
Construction battalions. Al-
though the Army has its quota,
the Navy campaign for the Sea-
bees—the construction battalions
—is still going on, said Mr.
Nicholson.

Lights? Obey dim-out regulations.

Marsden Hartley,
Noted Painter,
Dies In Ellsworth

ELLSWORTH, Sept. 2—(AP)—
Marsden Hartley, a painter whose
marines and landscapes won him
international renown, died unex-
pectedly of heart disease at Ells-
worth hospital today. He was 66.

Born in Lewiston, Hartley spent
his boyhood in Cleveland, O., and
much of his adult life in New
York. For many years he sum-
mered in his native state and
for the past four years had lived at
Corea, near Winter Harbor.

The Maine coast, particularly the
area around Georgetown, where he
summered several seasons, pro-
vided Hartley the scenes for many
of his paintings, which have been
shown in New York and other
American cities and before the war,
in France, England and Germany.

Hartley never married and left
no immediate relatives.

For nearly 30 years Hartley had
an annual one-man show in New
York. His paintings won him
numerous prizes, the latest a $2,500
government competition last
March. In 1930 he won a Guggen-
heim Fellowship and spent a year
painting in Mexico.

Hartley studied at the National
Academy in New York shortly after
the turn of the century and later
in Europe.

He also was the author of two
volumes of verse on Maine, "An-
droscoggin," published in 1940, and
"Sea Burial," published in 1941.
