Tokyo Lying in Ruins Struggles Back to New Life mm j I j ^ m~Wm j This bombed-out area in the heart of Tokyo, near the imperial palace, shows the devastating results of American fire bombing attacks. Each section of the city is responsible for clearing away its own debris and the Japanese have been ordered to do a good job. FARM WAGE DELIRIUM WASHINGTON. — Live-wire Re¬ publican Sen. Ralph Brewster of Maine recently telephoned hard¬ working Assistant Secretary of La¬ bor Carl Moran, also from Maine, but a Democrat. “Portland is among the nine dis¬ tress cities of the country,” Sena¬ tor Brewster reminded Moran. “As you know, Portland shipyard work¬ ers have been dismissed from their jobs wholesale. Meanwhile, farmers up in Aroostook county can’t get anyone to bring in their potatoes. What can you do about it?” “What are they paying for farm labor in Aroostook county,” asked the assistant secretary of labor; “still four cents?” “No,” replied the senator from Maine, “There’s a guaranteed wage of $12 a day.” Assistant Secretary Moran said he would do his best to switch some workers up to the potato farms. , However, he might well have re¬ plied that the labor department was that in name only and that it actually had almost nothing to do with labor. For the fact is that, under Miss Perkins, the labor depart¬ ment was stripped of most of its labor duties. The War Labor board is separate and independ¬ ent, and, most important of all, the U. S. employment service is under the W’ar Manpower com¬ mission. Thus, Assistant Secre¬ tary of Labor Moran had to turn to an outside agency, the U. S. employment service, to try to get discharged shipyard work¬ ers to help harvest the Aroos¬ took potato crop. This, in turn, has brought out an¬ other difficulty affecting not mere¬ ly Maine but the entire nation. Most war workers, drawing $1 to $2 an hour plus overtime and bonuses, don’t want to go back to the farm and farm wages. The labor short¬ age on the farms, even after V-J Day, is as acute as ever. Farm wages are higher than ever, though still a long way from shipyard and aviation factory pay. So, somehow or other, either farm wages must go up, or war workers must-go back to less money on the farm. In the former case, the farm¬ ers will have to get more for their crops, which, of course, means a higher cost of living in the city. Ambassadors’ Wives. Last week this column reported that Mrs. Ed Pauley, wife of the U. S. reparations ambassador to Moscow and former treasurer of the Democratic national committee, was listed to receive $25 a day ex¬ penses while accompanying her husband to Russia. Since then, I have received further information that Mrs. Pauley, although listed by the state department as an official member of the party, declined to accept the $25 per diem. However, I still believe it a highly debatable point, when a million or so G.I.s are not per¬ mitted to have their wives come abroad, that American higher- ups should take their wives with them to overseas war areas. After all, the average American soldier now occupying Germany or Japan has not seen his wife for more than a year. When the Pauley reparations mis¬ sion arrived in western Europe, the party was split up, because of lim¬ ited accommodations in Moscow. One group, including some of the best experts on reparations, were told to remain in Frankfurt, Ger¬ many, because there was no room to house them in Moscow. But Mrs. Pauley, despite limited accommo¬ dations, went on to Moscow. Later, she also visited Potsdam for the Big Three session. She was the only American wife present. Mrs. Truman and Mrs. Byrnes, wife of the secretary of state, re¬ mained at home. And during the last session of the Big Three, Mrs. Pauley sat in the gallery, a priv¬ ileged witness to the historic cere¬ mony. Many U. S. and British ex¬ perts who had spent weeks prepar¬ ing for this big climax and who had burned midnight oil whipping the agreement into shape, were barred from seeing the windup. NOTE—On August 4, this column reported that the office of war in¬ formation had given Mrs. R. A. Mc¬ Clure, wife of General McClure, a privileged job as receptionist in OWI’s Paris office, thus permitting her to be near her husband in Ger¬ many. Immediately after publica¬ tion of this disclosure, the OWI re¬ ceived an order from the White House for Mrs. McClure to come back to the United States. Capital Chaff. The shortening of the congres¬ sional recess, which was to last until October 8, has forced several congressmen to look fop temporary lodgings in Washington. They had leased their homes for the antici¬ pated recess period. Some, like Los Angeles’ Chet Holifield, were fore- sighted enough to make arrange¬ ments to have at least a bedroom available if they returned. . . , Congressman Karl Mundt of South Dakota, one of the most vigorous Red-hunters of the old Dies commit¬ tee, is traveling in Russia. . . Defense Lines, Bases Desired by Army in Pacific Proposals by Air Gen. Henry H. Arnold for maintenance of a series of defense lines in the Pacific for future national security is receiving growing support in congress. The latest proposal would provide major fleet bases at Pearl Harbor, Guam, Saipan, Manus and Noumea, with a main naval air base at Mactan island in the Philippines. The whole would provide chains of security far from the United States shores. The house committee said the bases are needed to maintain peace. Hurricane and Fires Strike Florida Keys More than 200 persons were reported injured in a fire at the Richmond navy blimp base as a tropical hurricane reaching a peak velocity of 143 miles per hour swept across the Florida Keys. More than 50,000 persons were driven to seek emergency shelter in South Florida alone. Hundreds of homes were reported damaged and destroyed in the Keys. Promise Delivery of Thousands of Tires Tires, thousands of them, are shown moving out of the huge plants of the Firestone Tire and Rubber company, Akron. Ohio, to civilian users everywhere. The reconversion from military to civilian tire production was almost immediate, and first line tires will flow, in ever-increasing quantities, to the civilian market. TRENTON. I.A.. THURSDAY. OCTOBER 4. 1045 PRESS ASSOCIATION MEETS IN ATLANTA The Georgia Press Association, holding its 59th annual convention in Atlanta, elected Belmont Dennis, of Covington, president, and Adjutant General Marvin Griffin, editor of the Bainbridge Post-Searchlight, as vice- president. Roy McGinty, of Calhoun, was re-elected treasurer. The association closed the con¬ vention with luncheon, at which Dennis told the aims of the asso¬ ciation during the coming year. Wright Bryan, editor of The At¬ lanta Journal, described his experi¬ ences as a war correspondent. Den¬ nis said that the association would increase its services to its editors and place a man of experience in charge of its headquarters in Atlanta. At an earlier session, Don Eck, of the National Editorial Associa¬ tion, spoke on the need for a drive by the weeklies to secure a greater volume of edvertising. He pointed out that 52 per cent of the coun¬ try’s population lives in rural com¬ munities. Com¬ The Union Bag and Paper pany announced that it was giving 40 inches of advertising, to run for five weeks, to each paper repre¬ sented in the association. The association sent a message of greeting to P. T. (Uncle Pat) McCutcheon, who attended 58 of the 59 conventions, but was unable to come this year because of illness. He is editor of the Franklin News and Banner in Heard county. Saturday, September 29, is Press day at the Atlanta Metropolitan and Southeastern Fair when most of the editors will return to Atlanta for that occasion. The convention passed a resolu¬ tion commending the Georgia Power Company for its “Better Home Towns” program. OTHER STATE ITEMS The State Milk Control Board has ordered the continuation of every- other-day milk deliveries in met¬ ropolitan Atlanta, including Decatur. A similar order has been issued af¬ fecting the Columbus milk shed area. Unfilled applications for passen¬ ger car tires in Georgia, which to¬ taled 23,363 at the end of August have been piling up so rapidly that they may reach 35,000 by the end of September, OP A oificials in At¬ lanta, say. A tentative draft of the gum naval stores conservation program for 1946 was drawn up in Valdosta recently at a meeting of government forestry representatives and a committee named by the American Turpentine Farmers Association. Savannah industries are employing 50 per cent more workers than in 1940 and the employees are earning twice as much as they were paid be¬ fore the war, the Savannah commit¬ tee for economic development re¬ ports. handled A total of 541 cases were by the home service department of the Dublin and Laurens county chap¬ ter of the American Red Cross dur¬ ing August, it is reported by Mrs. Louise O. Howard, executive secre¬ tary for that county. Mrs. Addie K. Bateman is assistant to Mrs. Howard. Georgia’s flue-cured tobacco aver¬ ages for this year topped that of 1944, with 113,291,882 pounds bring¬ ing in $44,869,748. The average per hundred pounds was $39.61, compared with last year’s average of $36.61, when 100,987,769 pounds sold for $36,920,481, the State Department of Agriculture reported. A 50 per cent cut in federal taxes on personal incomes, from the lowest to the highest bracket, is being ad¬ vocated by Chairman Walter F. George, Democrat, Georgia, of the Senate Finance Committee. “While the full amount on this reduction should not be made in 1946,” he said, in a broadcast program, “we should start making it next year.” It is reported by the Carroll Serv¬ ice Council that the three nursery schools now in operation in Carroll oomity may soon lose federal aid. Plans are being made to secure sup¬ port for the schools so that they will not be discontinued. The schools are located at Mandeville Mills, Lawler Mills and Villa Rica. They were es¬ tablished in the summer of 1943. In the war years Georgia’s voca¬ tional schools trained thousands of persons for jobs that fitted in the w’ar effort. Now they’re ready to train thousands of returning GIs so that they can hold and obtain jobs in a peacetime economy. There are more than 400 vocational educational schools scattered over the state. They teach everything from how to build an airplane to cosmetology. The schools, says Dr. M. D. Mobley, state director of vocational education, are now converting to peacetime train¬ ing. Georgia’s game and fish commis¬ sion will request approximately $25,- 000 from the General Education Board to carry on the Junior Wild¬ life Ranger program, State Director Charles Elliott announces. The complete program has been arranged, all available display space has been taken, and exhibits will be on hand from each of the 18 counties in the ninth district for the big northeast Georgia fair, which is in full swing at Gainesville, and will continue for the week. Called the \ ictory Fair, the occasion is themes* outstanding of its kind ever held i that section of north Georgia. Back to the Islands Paul V.
