Cramer, enforcement attorney for the OPA, returned from Shelbyville the other day with: another OPA story which he swears is true. An elderly woman went Into a Shelbyville drug store and asked for a battery for her hearing aid. The proprietor said he had none, but would have some Monday. She returned Monday and askéd a clerk for a ‘battery. He said there was none in stock. “You must be mistaken, young man,” she said,

“The proprietor said vou'd have them today.” “Well,

hey were supposed to be here today, but the mails ren't what they used to be.” “Yes,” agreed the somehat deaf customer “and the sooner they get rid of that OPA, the better.” , ..

Enchanted Cottage

ALL SORTS of odd inquirtes are received by the hew state department of commerce and public relations. For instance, the office received a phone call the other day from a G. I, who said he ‘had been to see the movie, “Enchanted Cottage.” The soldier said the film had given him the idea he'd like to get marriéd and have ‘a honeymoon in a nice cottage some-

Argentine Conflict

BUENOS AIRES, July 10.—Although President Edelmiro *J. Farrell has announced that elections will be held in seven or eight months, the basic conflict in Argentina remains unchanged. Argentines, in fact, are convinced that civil war is inescapable. They talk about it day and night oa —on the streets, in their homes fo and in the coffee shops. Vice President Juan Domingo Peron has stated three times in the last eight: days that he is ready for fighting in the streets and ‘bloodshed. He told this to United States Ambassador Spruille Braden, among others. Peron is ready to meet opposition with machine guns. Arms are being smuggled into the country. Five days ago I saw a warehouse full of rifles and ma¢hine guns just outside Buenos Aires. They are being brought in a few at a time.

Makes Play to Labor

PERON WILL NOT give up his control of the government without a struggle. If the army turns against him he will be lost. Argentines say that is the only way he will fall without blood-letting. But he claims that he is stronger with the army than ever. Peron has changed his policies during the past month in an effort to assume a position as champion of the labor unions and the working classes.

He is planning new concessions to the workers to:

realign Argentina on a purely class-struggle basis. The question of how many workers and labor unjon leaders will follow him is the zhief point of debate. Many have already. Others will never for

Aviation

“THE ARMY, the navy and the air force must be a unit. And if I had my way, they'd all be in the same uniform. But I don't suppose congress and the big brass will agree with me."—Gen, Dwight D. Eisenhower, There's the blueprint for America's post-war national defense system. : The fact that we won the. European war and are licking the Japs is a tribute to the fighting valor of American men and- to our mass production capacity for turning out more arms, ammunition and equipment than all the rest ofthe world put together. The unification of all our fighting forces, recommended by Eisen- - hower, actually was effected .on the combat fronts to meet emergencies. It was not the result of peactime blueprinting. It's difficult to visualize a three-armed boxer, but that's the exact set-up of a modern nation as it steps into the arena of modern warfare. These three arms are land, sea and air. forces, attached to the same body and governed by a unified-command mind, War is a business—a grim business—the biggest business man has ever undertaken. Therefore, it must be organized and handled as a business.

Problem for Congress THE MODERN corporation is a single unit made up of smaller units. There ar the purchasing and the sales departments. Each de partment is headed by a manager, charged with the responsibility for co-ordinating plans and functions with those of other departments, so the whole cor-

poration may move in any direction and toward any objective as a unit,

Can you conceive of anything but, chaos in a cor- .

poration with all the departments-going off at tangents and whistling for help to other departments in time of emergency?” Yet that's exactly the task we gave our first fighting forces in this war. It's not up to the. services to, reorganize our ovefall national defense system. 'None of them is em-

My Day

HYDE PARK, Monday.—There are two labor situ«

‘ations to which I want to draw attention at the pres+

ent time. One is embodied in a bill introduced in the senate by Senator Claude Pepper and referred to the. committee on education and labor. As far as 4 I know it has not yet been introduced in the house, though I imagine Congresswoman Mary Norton will eventually introduce it. It is senate bill 1178, and it provides “equal pay for equal work

for women and for other pur--

poses.” The first section presents the situation very well: “The congress hereby finds that the existence in industry of differentials based on sex is an inequity : of in compensation standards which constitutes an unfair wage practice and (1) leads to labor disputes; (2) depresses wages and living standards of employees, male and female: (3) interferes with and prevents an adequate standard of living of such workers and_the families depending on them for (4) in? particular, has serious detrimental n the standards of living of families of deveterans; (5) prevents the maxiour

will try to help him. .., And ten there's a man .in Los Angeles who wrote Paul Ross, executive director of the department, and asked his help in locating a certain log cabin “belonging to one Ace Jones” The cabin was described as being about seven miles east of Mooresville. . . . The Indiana Historical bureau has renewed its appeal for letters from Hoosiers in the armed forces. The bureau, acting for the Indiana war history commission, wants to publish the letters in a volume telling the story of Indiana in world war II. If your serviceman has written some interesting. letters, send them-—or an accurate copy~—to the bureau. The letters they want fall into two classifications: Objective letters describing what “the writer has seen, and subjective letters, describing his reaction to what he has experienced-—fear induced by shellfire, the beauty of a convoy, fatigue of marching, hatred of cruelty, etc, The Bureau's address is 140 N.

Don’t Rush Me!

A DOUGHTY defender of pedestrian rights attracted much admiration about 5 p. m. Friday at New York and Pennsylvania sts. He was half way across Pennsylvania, walking west, when the light changed. A motorist, heading south, started up immediately. - But this pedestrian wasn't one to stand by and see his rights abridged. He wasn’t going to

street. So he just held up his hand at the offending motorist, and sang out: “Hold it! Pedestrians have the right of way!” Then he calmly continued his crossing while the astonished motorist “held it.” .'. Back in the other war, Clayton Hughes, now an employee of Stewart-Warner, was a pharmacist's mate aboard the U. 8. 8. Culgoa. On Sept. 29, 1917, there was an explosion in which a sailor, Linwood Laughey, of Baudette, Minn., was injured fatally. Mate Hughes treated him, and then, when Mr. Laughey died, wrote |

his family giving them the details. He received 8 emerges instead as a powerful and

couple of letters giving him the family’s deep appre- | ciation of his service. But the family still wasn't | satisfied. Just the other day.the phone rang at the | Hughes home.

Those with democratic convictions opposed the Farrell-Peron government for fail- | ing fo. enter the war on the United Nations side, | earlier. They also demanded a return to democracy and an end to totalitarianism. Fascist-minded Argentines and those with Ger- | man, Italian and Spanish sympathies approved of! the government policies. Many business leaders were | of the opinion that the government had acted shrewd- | ly in staying out of the war and taking advantage of | trade opportunities. Peron was successfully wooing a | good section of business to stay with him, with promises of support against the labor unions. |

Business Wants Democracy |

THIS LINEUP was much easier to understand. ' But it has changed. All of the big money in Argentina now is aligned against Peron. Businessmen and cattlemen’ are demanding a return to democracy and | less government interference in business.” A series of proclamations against the government has been published in the newspapers.

We must completely uverhaul our defense system. We must set | up a true war department, made up of land,-sea and | air forces, under a unified command, under a unified! general staff, composed of the heads of the departments and their experts—all of whom must be trained | and experienced in land, sea and air warfare. | What do you think was going through my mind as I read Eisenhower's statement about the necessity for unifying our national defense system?

‘I Told You So’

PRIOR TO 1939, I unwittingly started a fracas among a lot of political brass hats by reporting what I saw during my: inspection of the air forces of Europe. 1 wanted to tell the American people that licking the Nazis was going to be a tough and costly Job, with most of it to be done from the air. This was when the American people were being told that Germany was a pushover, suffering from malnutrition, that Nazi airpower was a myth, and so on, But I knew what I was talking about because I was talking about what I had seen. I had flown some of the first-line fighters of Europe, and reported that they were superior to thé best equipment we had in the air at that time—and they were until we got our Mustangs production and our big bombers equipped with sufficient armor and guns. I wrote about Nazi underground aircraft factories | I had seen, about the heavily protected concreté; bomb-proof shelters, -about-underground accommoda- | tions for aircraft factory workers, and about decontaminating chambers, . I knew the Nazis were making aviation gasoline out of lignite—a brown coal a million or so years! younger. than black coal—because I had seen the! operation. The 350 miles per hour I ascribed to the Nazi fighter (the ME-109) has been confirmed time and again, Recently a friend, returning from an inspection of occupied Germany, told me he had visited a Naz | synthetic gasoline plant that was eight miles long. | Now I san say, “I told you so0."—a questionable privilege. :

That puts the whole thing in a nutshell But} basically there is no excusé for not paying an equal wage for equal work, and there never has been. This principle holds good, I think, in the professional field as well as in the field of industry, and it certainly should hold good in all the service flelds, 2 ‘ The other situation which I think we want to understand better than we do is the’ difficult problem which the unions face in the'question of seniority.

The basic thing we are-all working for is full employment. If there is full employment, no dim- | culty arises. Seniority becomes important when jobs are scarce and men are being laid off. The unions are more interested than any other group in seeing that returned veterans get every possible benefit and”

(This is the ‘second of six articles analyzing the Hateh-Burton-Ball bill for a new federal industrial relations act.)

By E. A. EVANS THE PROPOSED act would specifically exclude from jurisdic tion of the federal labor relations board controversies arising from employment . By federal, state or local gov ernments; by an employer » of fewer than 20 persons unless - a sub. _ stantial interruption of commerce is threatene d); by farmers or farm co-oper-atives in agricultural work; by labor organizations; In domestic ‘service; in occupations covered by the railway labor act. It would leave controversies affecting fewer than 20 employees, and predominantly local controversies only indirectly affecting interstate or .foreign comrherce, to be dealt with by the states. ” ” n CONTROVERSIES within the federal board's field would- be’ separated into four classes: 1. Those over the -representation of employees. 2. These over the making and maintaining of agreements, 3. Those over grievances arising under agreements. 4. All others.

If the controversy concerned representation rights of employees or the making or maintaining of a union-manage-ment agreement, the board would be required to take jurisdiction and start settlement procedure. It would .not be required to take jurisdiction over “grievance” controversies arising under agreements unless it found them to threaten substantial interruption of commerce, _2.

Hoarders Fear Being Caught With Too Much

By RUTH MILLETT

EVER SINCE war shortages first began to cramp the living style of Americans we've had a horrible fear—what if we should get caught without any of this or that soon-to-be-scarce article? And so with- ’ out feeling in the least like hoarders we've put away a little supply of this and a lit. tle supply of that and bought things before we actually needed them or just because some : salesman let drop the hint, these are the last we'll be getting.” » - » THAT FEAR of being caught without any extra shoes on our shelves, liquor in the cabinet, or carined goods in the basement has haunted us enough to make us fork over cash for things we wanted at the moment—only because we might not be able Ww get them at some ‘later date, But now there's a little story that ought to give up a new fear to replace the fear of being caught short. A Michigan man recently died and in-his house were found a thousand cases of canned goods, sacks of sugar, a refrigerator full of meats, cases. of-beer and ale, and in the yard drums of gasoline and two brand-new tires. » »

, SO THE NEW fear ought to be

that instead of being caught short some of us might be caught with ° too many things stored away. How would you like to be caught with 20 pairs of shoes in your closet—with 40 pounds of sugar in the storeroom, with canned goods in cases, with cartons of cigarets? Now we can think before we rush out to buy a supply of a soon - to - be - scarce - commodity: “Would I want to be caught dead with these?” instead of the old worry: “What if I'm caught with-

out any of this or that?”

We can rationalize and defend our stocking up on scarce commodities when we're alive — but you have to be alive to try to convince people it's anything but just plain hoarding, n
