Elected to head Interim French government, 74-year-old Leon
Blum receives traditional embrace from Vincent Auriol, president
of national assembly.
LABOR:
New Wage Pattern
Hardly had the hub-bub occasioned
by the CIO’s adoption of Economist
noDen Hainan s ior
mula for higher
wages within cur
rent prices died
down than United
Automobile Work
ers hit for a pay
boost of 234 cents
an hour to compen
sate for rising liv
ing costs in 1946.
Gist of Nathnn's
report, to be used as
a basis for CIO
wa» demand! in
Robert Nathan
coming months, is that record earn
ings allow industry to Jack up pay
appreciably while maintaining exist
ing price levels. Although Nathan
said that the unions should negotiate
new scales with different companies
and Industries on the basis of their
abilities to pay, he averred that the
manufacturing industry can grant a
21 per cent boost without raising
prices and still make double the
profits of the 1936-'39 period.
In view of the high earnings of
Industry and the gradual transfor
mation of a seller’s into a buyer’s
market, business leaders will hesi
tate before adding additional wage
Increases onto prices, Nathan said
UAW Demands
In subscribing to Nathan’s theory
that industry can hike wages with
out boosting prices. UAW Chieftain
Walter Reuther declared that cor
poration profits are running at a rate
of IS billion dollars a year in com
parison with 10 billion during the
war and S billion in the prewar pe
riod.
While business profits have been
rising, consumer purchasing power
has been diminishing. Reuther said.
During 1946, living costs have
climbed another 18 per cent, neces
sitating the 23W cents an hour wage
raise for the 900,000 UAW members
to maintain their ”take-home" pay.
At present, the average wage in the
industry is $1 S3 an hour.
Reuther’s claim of big business
profits was challenged by major pro
ducers. who charged that this year’s
costly strikes and shortages of ma
terials adversely affected earnings.
FRANCE:
Blum Comes Back
Leon Blum, whose Popular Front
government in the middle '30’s threw
France into a turmoil, returned to
head the new French interim gov
ernment as the compromise choice
of the left and right parties of the
nation.
Though Blum’s Socialist party
commands only 100 seats in the 600
odd national assembly, the dominant
Communist and Popular Republican
parties agreed on his leadership aft
er failure to woVk out a satisfactory
deal between themselves for shar
ing the government. Ranting over
the failure of achieving a coalition
cabinet. Commdhist Representative
Duclos accused the rightist Popular
Republicans of "renewing the class
struggle."
Reversing his liberal policies,
which led to a wave of sltdown
strikes and the bitter opposition of
capital in the *30’s. Blum announced
that he would work for stringent
economies during his brief term be
fore a permanent government is
formed. He also reiterated French
demands for internationalization
of the Ruhr and Rhineland
RELIGION:
Donations l,ag
Although the U. S. public’s
church donations have scored a new
high by passing the billion-dollar-a*
year mark, they still trail behind
consumer outlays for movie and the
ater tickets, amount to one-third of
the nation's annual bill for tobacco,
and one-eighth of its outlay for al
coholic beverages, according to
Northwestern National Life Insur
ance company.
U. N.:
Meets Test
Having "met the test” of resolv
ing major issues and differences, to
quote U. S. Delegate Warren Aus
tin, the United Nations general as
sembly adjourned until next Sep
tember with this record of accom- i
plishments:
—Acceptance of an $8,500,000 gift
from John D. Rockefeller Jr. for
purchase of a 17-acre site in Man
hattan for a permanent U N. home.
—Adoption of a resolution in
structing the security council to de
vise a system of international dis
armament to be presented to mem
ber countries in treaty form.
—Approval of trusteeships for
eight former League of Nations
mandated territories and formation
of a U. N. trusteeship committee
to which administering powers will
report.
-'-Admission of Sweden, Afghanis
tan, Iceland and Siam to the U. N.
—Establishment of the Interna
tional Refugee organization to re
settle and repatriate 1,000,000 dis
placed persons.
HOUSING:
New Emphasis
In line with findings that most
home-seekers are looking for rent
al rather than purchasable dwell
ings, the administration's new hous
ing program places emphasis upon
construction of rental property.
To encourage rental construc
tion, Federal Housing adminis
tration will extend the amortisa
tion period for such projects
beyond the usual 28 years, and
work out arrangements for ad
justing loans to protect owners
from losses In the event of un
stable economic conditions.
Whereas a maximum of $80 a
month was set on rental of In
dividual units under the veterans’
emergency housing program, rent
als now will be limited to an aver
age of $80 for a building.
With the principal demand for
more dwellings, any person will be
permitted to build a house, thus
making an apartment or old build
ing available. Vets will continue to
get first crack at homes put up for
sale or rent, however.
Because of the Increasing pro
duction of building materials
coupled with the curb on non
residential construction, mate
rials priorities no longer will
be needed.
Though non-residential construc
tion will continue to be restricted,
permission to build stores, schools,
churches and other facilities will be
granted to accommodate new neigh
borhoods.
MILITARY:
Unify Commands
With plans for a unified command
temporarily shelved by navy opposi
tion, the services agreed to the war
time practice of naming a single
chieftain for each strategic world
area to Increase the efficiency of op
erations and avoid the confusion of.
Pearl Harbor.
Under the setup, the theater com
mander Is responsible directly to the
Joint chiefs of staff in Washington.
Subordinate army and navy officers
remain at the head of their re
spective units. Strategic air forces
not assigned to theater commanders
are at the disposal of the chiefs of
staff.
General of the Army Douglas
MacArthur heads the Far Eastern
theater comprising Japan. Korea,
the Philippines, Mariannas. Bonlns
and Ryukyus. Other area com
manders include:
PACIFIC: Adm. John H. Towers.
ALASKAN: MaJ. Gen. H. A.
Craig.
ATLANTIC FLEET: Adm. Marc
Mitscher.
CARIBBEAN: Lt Gen. Willis D.
Crittenberger.
EUROPE: Gen. Joseph T. Mc
Narney.
FOOD:
Full Tables
After counting the bountiful yields
of 1946 farm production, the depart
ment of agriculture told Americans
that they would eat well again in
1947.
By Intensive tillage of substantial
ly smaller acreage than prevailed in
the '20's, farmers produced recoYd
crops of wheat, corn, rice, potatoes,
soybeans, tobacco and garden vege
tables; near record yields of grapes,
peanuts and oats, and better than
average harvests of sweet apricots,
sugar cane, sugar beets, dry peas,
sorghum and hay.
If Americans will have plentiful
supplies of cereals, vegetables and
fruits, they also are promised a full
table of meat. The department re
ported record numbers of cattle on
feed in grain belt feedlots.
Production Pattern
The department’s final estimate of
1946 farm output suggested the shift
ing pattern of production within the
past decade.
While such old American agricul
tural standbys os wheat, com, pota
toes and tobacco showed appreciable
increases in 1946 over the 1935-’44
average, rye was down to 18.685,000
bushels from 42,356,000, and cot
ton dropped to 8,482,000 bales from
12.553.000.
Because of changing needs, em
phasis was placed on other crops.
To make up for a drop in imports,
rice production was boosted to 71,
520,000 bushels from the 10-year av
erage of 55,257,000; to meet the de
mands for industrial and edible oils,
soybean yields Jumped to 196,725,000
bushels from 103,457,000, and peanut
output soared to 2,075,880,000 pounds
from 1,587,964,000; and as part of
the program to raise nutritional
standards, the harvest of dry peas
increased to 6.926,000 bags from
4.580.000.
SPORT:
Gambling Menace
In the early 1800’s, American
youth held up the statesman as a
tin god; In the late 1800’s, it was
the empire builder, and since the
early 1900’s, it has been the athlete.
Most touching example of the faith
that the average American boy put
in his athletic hero involved the
young kid who clutched at “Shoeless
Joe" Jackson's sleeve when that
great outfielder emerged from ques
tioning over his part in the Black
Sox baseball scandal of 1919. With
tears in his eyes, the kid pleaded:
“Say it isn’t so, Joe. say it isn’t so."
Unfortunately, Joe couldn’t, but
fortunately, had any kid been wait
ing outside Mayor O’Dwyer’s man
sion in New York on the morning
of December 15, Frankie Filchock
and Merle Hapes of the New York
football Giants would have been able

to say so. By turning down alleged
bribes from a gambling front, the
two grid stars saved pro football
from disgrace.
Efforts of the gamblers to get the
two Giants to throw the pro cham
pionship game to the Chicago Bears
marked the first known attempt by
the “easy-money” boys to corrupt
pro football and lessen the risk of
their heavy wagering.
INDIA:
Troubles, Troubles
Mother India, long sorrowing for
freedom, could see nothing but
trouble ahead as she planned the
achievement of her independence
after centuries of British domina
tion.
For freedbm seemed to mean
different things to the powerful
political factions within the country:
To the majority Congress party
chiefly embracing the Hindus. In
dependence represented a unified
nation; to the minority Moslem
league, it stood for “Pakistan" or
self-rule of Mohammedan provinces.
While the wily British professed
their desire for a free India, they
looked on apprehensively as Hindus
and Moslems locked horns. Attend
ing the constituent assembly being
held in New Delhi to frame a con
stitution for the new India, the
usually mild and compromising
Hindu Leader Nehru breathed fire:
The Moslem league was reaction
ary and the British may favor “Pak
istan” to divide India, he said, but
the Hindus were determined to solve
their own problems.
TOURIST TRADE:
Booming Again
Total tourist expenditures this
year will exceed the six billion dol
lars of 1940 despite limited produc
tion of automobiles, a study of the
tourist trade by American Road
Builders’ association reveals.
The season just closed saw travel
hungry Americans taking to the
highways. Up to September 30, a
record number of 21,682.782 tourists
had visited the 27 parks and 142
other areas operated by National
Park service.
Mastitis Control
Methods Important
Bactericidal Agents
Favorable Response
By W. J. DRYDEN
Mastitis, a communicable disease,
can be measurably checked by iden
tification of the carrier cow, fol
lowed by proper control and treat
ment
A compound for treating chronic
mastitis recently has been reported
by Utah agricultural experiment
station. It is colloidal silver oxide,
5 per cent, suspended in mineral
oil. This treatment is effective
only against mastitis caused by
streptococci.
In injecting the compound, wash
the udder with a chlorine solution.
Milk the infected quarter dry and
disinfect the end of the teat with
tincture of iodine. Ten cc. of the
compound is injected into the teat
canal, and, by massaging, the liquid
is pressed upward into the milk
cistern and into the entire quarter.
The milk should not be used for hu
man consumption during and for
15 days after treatment.
Other recent compounds proven
satisfactory for various types of
mastitis include tyrothricin, sulfan
ilamide in oil and penicillin.

CoughSdief is
Truly Surprising
So Easy. No Cooking. Big Saving.
You may not know it, but, in your
own kitchen, you can easily prepare
a really surprising relief for coughs
due to colds. It’s old-fashioned—your
mother probably used it—but for real
results it’s hard to beat.
First, make a syrup by stirring 2
cups granulated sugar and one cup
of water a few moments, until dis
solved. No cooking needed. It’s no
trouble. Or you can use corn syrup or
liquid honey, instead of sugar syrup.
Then get 2^4 ounces of Pinex from
any druggist. This is a special com
pound of proven ingredients, in con
centrated form, well known for
quick action in throat and bronchial
irritations.
Put the Pinex Into a pint bottle,
and fill up with your syrup. Thus you
make a full pint of splendid cough
syrup, and you get about four times
as much for your money. It never
spoils. Children love Its pleasant taste.
And for quick relief, it’s a wonder.
It loosens the phlegm, soothes the Irri
tated membranes, eases the soreness,
makes breathing easy, and lets you
get restful sleep. Just try It. and If not
pleased, your money will be refunded.
