/M Truths Pondered While Riding at Anchor 'Then gently scan your brother man"— -By Mr. Modestus- Those brass hats— They jingle, jangle, jingle— And their noise ain't so very far from wrong— Military squabbles seem natural enough in times of peace— But it does seem that they might have figured out some things— Before we ever got down to brass tacks and tin fish, in a war. These generals and admirals, who fought pretty good in one war— Accumulate battle habits, along with their adipose tissue— Neither being of much use in pres ent emergencies. Jealousy between services, of Army, Navy, Marines— Is now supplemented by growing strength of military aviation— It seems, that vertical maneuvers are not useful, in navies— Things like this sometimes make civilians think they know more XLhc 3riesmer-(5rimCo.

Roosevelt is a Navy Man— So it took him a couple of years to wake up— Enough to begin hollering for 100, 000 war planes— Naturally, artillery men like to plan battles around their cannon— Cavalry fighters think the mount ed man is most effective— Infantry commanders tell us dough boys are the heart of everything— Navy wants to know, just what would you do without battleships— Rommel was first to figure out proper tactics of his land battle ships— American Army and Navy just could not get together, at first— About how to checkmate U-boats along a sea coast— There's nothing new about it all— Even Hitler quarrels with his best generals— So he has nothing on democracies on that score— Inspired intuition don't work much better, in Germany— Than personal initiative and priv ate enterprise, in America— Napoleon had little more than his opponents— Except how to concentrate his punches, to make them count— When he began to run out of punches— The Allies licked him. But this war is just one experiment after another This is no question of elephants vs. flying phalanxes— It is continental factory outfits vs. Flying Fortresses and tank corps— Stormviks vs. Panzers tommy-gun shock troops vs. pill boxes— Hurtling torpedo boats, vs. light ning-fisted dive bombers— Which fighters can climb highest, THE BUTLER COUNTY PKESS: Patronize Hamilton Industries LEADING HAMILTON CONCERNS WHO SOLICIT THE CO-OPERATION OF ORGANIZED LABOR AND THEIR FRIENDS irniv BOBS HOT KBQtmMB ACCOUNTS, DEPOSITS OB XX BBTXFXCATXOB SEND MONEY BY REGISTER CHECK IT COSTS LESS THAN AVERAGE MONEY ORDER Molders' Conference Board.

(ILNS).—Indi vidual wage adjustments based on promotions, length of service, and so on, may be made without first seek ing the approval of the War Labor Board, the board announced in a gen eral order. The classifications exempt from control are individual promotions or reclassifications, individual merit in creases within established rate ranges, increases under an established plan based on length of service, increases based on productivity under piece work or inventive plans, and those resulting from the operations of an apprentice or trainee system. "Adjustments of wages under this order," the board said, "should not result in any substantial increase in the level of costs and shall no# fur nish a basis either to increase price ceilings of commodity or service in volved or to resist otherwise justifi able reduction in such price ceilings." COAL FROM THE Anderson- Shaffer COMPANY DELIVERED BY Union Drivers GIVE US A TRIAL Tou Will Be Satisfied! Phones 47 and 160 ROOSEVELT NAMES GREEN TO POSITION AS BOARD ADVISER Philip Murray, CIO Chief, Named As Other Labor Representative. Washington. President Roosevelt appointed A. F. of L. President Wil liam Green as one of the two labor representatives on the new Economic Stabilization Board which will advise Director James F. Byrnes on measures necessary to maintain the cost of liv ing on an even keel. Philip Murray, CIO chief, was the other labor repre sentative designated. To represent management, the Pres ident named Eric A. Johnston, head of the United States Chamber of Commerce and Ralph E. Flanders, president of the Jones & Lamson Ma chine Company. Farm representatives will be Edward A. O'Neal, of the American Farm Bureau Federation, and James G. Patton, president of the National Farmers' Union. These men will serve with the heads of key federal war agencies and Cabinet members on the stabili zation board. At the first meeting of the board, Director Byrnes announced he had given authority to the National War Labor Board to pass upon pay rises to workers earning under $3,000 a year and to others earning up to $5,000 a year, if their compensation were fixed by collective bargaining agreements. The Treasury Department will reg ulate salaries of more than $3,000 a year which do not come within the scope of the NWLB. Mr. Byrnes, former Supreme Court Justice, told the Economic Stabiliza tion Board that "every man and woman, every dollar and thing, every thing, must be utilized for the quick est winning of the war." He listed the following as among the outstand ing problems that lie ahead: "Compulsory savings and other proposed measures to control excess spending power. "Prospects as to future rationing needs. "The spacing of military and lend lease purchasing. "Prospective subsidy needs and con siderations which should govern or limit the use of subsidies. "Wages of farm labor. "The effect of the stabilization of wages on manpower problems, par ticularly on the migration of workers." To reassure government agencies which feared his appointment might overshadow them, Mr. Byrnes told the board it was his desire that the sep arate agencies should increase in im portance rather than diminish, and said he would step in "only where there are conflicts or where I think economic stabilization is threatened in any field." Union label- conscious consumers have declared "priorities" on union label goods and union services. WAR BONDS It's not a pleasant picture to con template, but War calls for "blood and sweat and tears." And the Army Medical Corps, with its efficient nurses and its volunteer Red Cross "Angels of Mercy," needs thousands of surgical beds for field and base hospitals on every front These beat, cost aparoximately $22 each. They are the latest thing in modern hospital beds, with elevating springs. In some instances «urgi cal cots are used in temporary field hospitals and there is a folding bed which may be used in ambulances. Your purchase of War Bonds and Stamps can buy many of these beds for the Army. You'll sleep better if you know our boys have every hospital comfort Buy War Bonds every pay day. Invest tea percent of your income. s (I. S. Trts*ur$ DtportmtM
