Washingfon News Notebook
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON,—Dr. John R. Steelman, newly
designated to succeed John Snyder as director of
the Office of War Mobilization and Reconversion,
admits that all he knows about the job is that it’s
one of the toughest in the government. But he says
he’s going to do it the best he can, and he can - be
counted upon to put into it the tremendous drive
for which he is noted.
Asked why he took the job, Steelman said, “Well,
1 guess I just don’t know how to say ‘No!"” to the
boss.”
The audit of the 33 government corporations, as
required by a law passed last year, has-paid for it
self already. One of the first audits to be completed
by the General Accounting Office for Controller
General Lindsay C. Warren covered Federal Prison
Industries, Inc. It showed a cash balance of sll,-
000,000. It has been recommended that the entire
sum be turned back into the U. S. Treasury. ¥
Federal Prison Industries is a little-known gov
ernment agency. It employs 3600 immates of 20 U,
S. prisons. The prisoners are paid a nominal wage,
and they receive vocational training. The corpora
tion sells its products mostly to the U. S. govern
ment, on a basis not competitive with private in
dustry.
During the war its business boomed, and it pro
duced a $2,000,000 profit last year. This income is
the only return which the governments gets on the
cost of maintaining its prison system. This year that
cost of $16,000,000. :
LAGUARDIA IS EXPECTED TO LEAVE UNRRA
SOON
Fiorello Laguardia is expected to resign from the
United Nations Relief and Rehabilitation Adminis~
tration after the August meeting of the UNRRA
Council in Paris. This will probably be the last big
meeting for the relief organization heads, since the
organization is scheduled to wind up operations by
Dec. 31 in all countries except China. After that,
world relief problems will have to be handled by the
United Nations, if they're handled at all.
Pressure to have the U. 8. ration bread is still
terrific. It comes not only from the many private
charity organizations now functioning to aid relief
in India, China, Germany, and liberated Europe.
High-ups in the State Department also back the
idea, believing the U. S’s standing abroad will suf
fer unless this country applies rétioning as a means
of sharing its surplus with less fortunate nations.
But there is plenty of resistance to the idea of
putting the U. S. on a bread ration. With U. S.
Wheat bins and elevators now.empty, every coupon
issued would actually be a search warrant for sup
plies of bread which simply would not exist. And
every holder would think he had to spend every
coupon. The result would be chaos in the country
that must make the biggest contribution to world
relief.
TRUMAN WANTS CONWAY TO KEEP
MARITIME POST
Capt. Granville Conway in encountering White
House opposition to his desire to resign from ' the
job of executive director of the Maritime Com
mission. Conway was all set to leave government
service on July 1 and become the $35,000-a-year
president of the Cosmopolitan Shipping Company.
It’s ‘an- outfit that charters foreign-flag vessels,
wh‘ichf“(r:ar‘x; of course, be operated at lower costs than
‘Americans ships.
Maritime union officials objected to negotiating
with Conway as a representative of the government,
on the ground that he would soon become a private
operator. But, with a brand new Maritime Com
mission taking over, Conway is being urged to stick
to his job.
The lasi of the big copper companies to settle its
three-month-old strike that has tied up needed pro
duction in that industry is the Phelps Dodge Cor
poration. 1t employs 4000 workers at six properties
in Bisbee, Morenci, Tyrone, and Douglas City, Ariz.,
El Paso Tex., and Laurel Hill, N. Y. The demands
call for wage and other adjustments dating back to
July, 1945.
If we do not want to have total war we must have
total peace—British Foreign Secretary Ernest
Movin, o e e (RS e
The Maritime Settlement
Though the threatened maritime sirike is averted
and- all but forgotten, it may not be too late for a
comment ‘or two on the recent negotiations, and a
few' guesses as to their ultimate e‘fect. ‘
" Pirst of all, it seems to us that CIO President
Philip Murray has been stinted in the credit due
him for holding together a dissentious group of
union leaders and insisting that they accept the
government terms.
~ Harry Bridges of the West Coast longshoremén
has indicated that he will be back later with more
requests. But for the moment a cripoling tieup has
beenh avoided. And after all the just cemsure leveled
at ]\q bor chieftains who have paralyzed large seg
ments of the national economy, or have attempted
to, same just thanks is due one of them for insist
jhg on a peaceable settlement of differences.
" But v‘vhat is the price of that settlenient going to
be in terms of our merchant marine’s future? Un
der the new contract merchant seamen retain vir
tually all of their high wartime pay. Able seamen
will draw 137 per cent more wages than they did
in January, 1941; messmen and wipers, 162 per
cent more.
Meanwhile, the International Labor Organiza
tion is trying to establish a minimum world wage
for sailors. It is aiming at a figure of $64 a month
for able seamien. If that wage is established, it will
mean that our chief maritime competitors will have
to raise their present basic wage rates approxi
mately thus: Greece, 45 per cent; Sweeden, 20 per
cent; Great Britain, 14 per cent; Norway, 9 per
cent; Netherlands, 1.6 per cent.
It is highly necessary that something be done
about the coolie wage for seamen which prevail
throughout most of the world. (Only New Zealand,
Canada and the United States pay seamen more
|than the proposed $64.) But such an increase would
’do nothing to close the gap in labor costs between
our chief competitors and American shippers, who
'will now be paying their able seamen $196 a month.
Maritime unions have argued that all this can be
taken up by government subsides. But subsides do
not apply to domestic lines, which accounted for
about 70 per cent of our prewar shipping. Nor do
they apply to all foreign trade lines.
There were only 12 subsidized lines in the sum
mer of 1941, and they carried only about 40 per
cent of our merchant marine’s foreign trade. The
government doesn’t guarantee profits through sub
sidies. It pays the difference between the wage,
subsistence, maintenance, repair and marine insur
ance expenses of Ameridan shippers and their
foreign competitors. And it lays down some pretty
rigid regulations and conditions in return.
So some lines don’t want subsidies. Others might
find them inexpedient, like those owned by big
industries and fruit importers and which combine
a public and private shipping enterprise. In short,
subsidies aren’t the whole answer.
In the meantime, the new wage scales threaten
the desirable goal of carrying half our foreign trade
in American ships. They threaten the ability of do
mestic lines to compete with land transportation
and still stay in business. They threaten our present
maritime supremacy, once the government has re
turned shipping to private hands. And in doing so,
they threaten to curtail job opportunitijsi for the
men whose negotiators have demanded and re
ceived these wages.
Now You're Talking!
Stabilization Director Bowles has proposed that
labor renew its waritime no-strike pledge until pro
duction can get going. Now you're talking, Chester,
and saying what some of the rest of us have been
suggesting for some time.
And if you can get that pledge, Chesier, and Con
gress doesn’t tatch the implications, we wouldn't
mind seeing you make another trip to Capitol Hill
and arrange a deal with the gentlemen whereby
‘they would retain price controls while labor stuck
to the task of turning out all the things that all of
us are needing. .
5 You might also drop in at OPA and see about
‘breaking some of those bottleneck regulations
‘which are holding up production. Then we might
really be on our way of this dreary maze of short
ages and black markets in which we have been
'wandering for far too long.
We have not won the peace yet. We have only
removed some of the ba:riers to peace by whipping
Germany and Japan.—Gen. Omar N. Bradley, Vet
erans Administrator.
1t is a costly business, but peace is indivisible and
poverty anywhere constitutes a danger to prosperity
everywhere.—John Hynd, chief of government de
partment for German and Austrian Affairs.
Don’t underestimate the very great danger of an
American slump.—Gordon Walker, member British
Parliament.
Let me warn any nation or power that now plans
to subjugate the rest of the world economically or
politically or militarily to look for Hitler’s glory in
the depths' of his bombproof shelter—Sen. Tom
Connally (D) of Texas.
Triggering an earthquake by an atom bomb ex
plosion is a most unlikely event. Destruction of our
cities by atom bombs is a rather likely consequence
of the discovery of atomilc energy. It must be pre~
vented by making national cooperation replace in
ternational rivaley, particularly in this important
field.—Dr. David R. Inglis, John Hopkins U. physi~
cist.
Liberty is on the bargain tables all over America
today at a discount and exchange prices. We are
trading it away for all kinds of social experiments,
fathered by those who would change our form of
government.—Potter N. Emerson, president Kiwanis
International. :
When they (government employes) get 52 Sun
days and 52 Saturdays off, a month’s vacation plus
a lot of sick leave, they only work about half the
365 days of the year. .
We intend to secure a drastic improvement in
living conditions all over the world and in every
way.—Trygve Lie, UN Secretary General.
Physical punishment in their (Eskimos’) educa
tion is almost completely unknown, and as a result
the average individual among them is better ad
justed and more balanced than among us.—Dr.
Margaret Lantis, Arctic Institute, Montreal,
Canada, . I

The Story: Marcia Beach,
Sally’s new patient, is young and
attractive. She can’t understand
Why Sally. insists on dedicating
herself to a lifetime of nursing,
refuses to believe that she is un
interested in men.
Marcia laughed gleefully.
“There see? You're romantic. 1
kaew it. What's the matte: with
that nice young interne—what’s
hic name—Hallock? And 1 be

too. Hallock Jooks as if he might
be fun to know.” Her bright eyes
rmocked the other girl. “I Dbet
they're both crazy about you.”
“If they are they manage to
keep it well nidden,” Sally said
and was annoyed at herself for
blushing. Sty
As if to make matters worse
Doctor Hallock paused before
the half-opened door and ‘said
softly:
“The United States Air Corps is
growing impatient Miss Beach.”
He pushed open the door and
came inside. Sally busied herseli
by the window, her back toward
them.
“May he come in Sally?” the
patient asked eyes alight. “De I
look presentable? I was supposed
to have a beauty nap before visi=
tors barged in but—"
“Gosh, Marcy!” cried a vibrant
voice from the doorway. “And
they told me you had been des
prately ill. You're blooming as a
rose. How are you,. darling—
darling—" He dropped to his
knees beside the bed.
“This is our cue to leave, my
dear Sally,” Doctor Hallock whis
pered, catching the nurse's hand
and urging her from the room.
“This is too sacred a moment for
an unsympathetic witness such as
you. But consider for a imoment
all that you're missing, my girl.”
“I expect to syrvive,” Sally
told him cooly, withdrawing her
hand from his. “Was there some
thing you wanted, Doctor Hal
lock?”
“Lovely day, isn’t it—outside?”
he said and when Sally merely
nodded he went on with an exag
gerated shiver: “Bul cold-brir!
Darned cold—uphere.”
In spite of her determination to
keep him at a distance, she gig
gled. “Gosh, you're lovely when
you let yourself go, Sally,” he
whispered. “Why don’t you do it
oftener?” ¥
Sally bit her lip. “If there is
nothing you want—"
“You know damnned weil what
I want, you cold-blooded little—-
Oh-oh”! His voice took on its
most- professiona] tone and at the
sudden change Sally knew a wild
disire to laugh. Doctor Willough
by had come into the corridor
from a room farther down. “Okay,
Nurse,” the young interne saia
loudly, “I'm glad you thinlk it is
quite safe to tell her uncle that he
may see her.” He turned and

Sally heard the tap-tap-tap of
high-heeled shoes echoing along
'the corridor and looked up to see
her patient’s mother, arms laden
with flowers and magazines, com
i‘ing toward her. She went o meet
her.
. “Lieutenant Allison is with her,
Mrs. Beach,” she explained. “She

of wicked orgress and send him

Shall we allow it or are you im

Mrs. Beach laughed, “It has

them all the time allowed. His

he has been pestering me to let
them marry before he goes—this

is it going to end? Is that Marcia

“She is, but the ineision is still

chances. She has been a very sick
girl and needs watching. Time’s
up and your young man must
