Wages and Prices
There is a growing feeling In Con
gress that some form of wage control
must accompany price control.
Two wage control proposals have
so far been made. One would impose
a definite ceiling on wages, as of a
given date, and would impose the
same kind of a celling on prices at the
same time. The other proposal is more
elastic, and would give the Price Ad
ministration authority to control
wages when it believed that further
<m»wsa«i*a 22 isSsticssry
character.
There is obviously room for dis
agreement as to the details of wage
control legislation. There is, how
ever, no ground for believing that
anything resembling workable price
control can be effected if wages are
permitted to soar without restraint.
The price trend today is to a large
extent the result of the many wage
increases. The cost o f both farm
and industrial labor is reaching near
record peaks—and this is directly re
flected in the wholesale price index, i
Retail distribution, led by the chains,
has been doing a splendid work in ab
sorbing as much of the price increase :
as possible, and in holding retail price j
boosts to the minimum. But the mer- i
chandisers can’t do the impossible,
and today retail prices are necessari
ly going up.
secretary Morgenuiau nas warneci
the country of the imminent danger of
real inflation. The country’s indus
tries, in both the producing and the
distributing fields, are doing all they
can to hold down prices. But so long
as wages and all other costs move un
controlled to higher levels, these ef
forts cannot achieve full success. If
Industry is forced to accept rigorous
price control which will greatly limit
freedom of action, labor must expect
the same thing.

THE BRANDEIS THEATRE
“Our Wife,” a comedy that sparkles
with gay, good humor, smart dialogue
and hilarious situations, opens Thurs
day, December 11, at the Brandeis
theatre, with Melvyn Douglas, Ruth J
Hussey and Ellen Drew In the stellar
roles, and Charles Coburn and John
Hubbard heading the supporting cast.
“Our Wife” is the story of a band
leader on the up beat who becomes the
bewildered prize of a battle royal be-j
tween two women who fight it out!
with words, wits and womanly wiles, j
Melvyn Douglas is seen as the musi
cian who doesn't know be is the main,
prize in the romantic contest. Ruth j
Hussey, cast as an attractive young j
college professor, pits her brains j
against alluring Ellen Drew, until she !
discovers that it isn’t intelligence
which kindles that certain gleam in a
man’s eyes. Turning them to the femi
nine trickery so successfully employ
ed by her rival, Ruth manages to
place herself in one awkward situa
tion after another, which keep* the
film moving merrily along tp its
laugh-packed climax.
"Ellery Queen and. the |(urder
Ring,” the Brandeis co-feature, li the
latest thriller in the Ellery Queen
series at mystery dramas, again star
ring Ralph Bellamy as the famed
amateur sleuth, with Margaret Lind
say as his vivacious secretary. This
newest detective yarn begins with a
fatal operation, necessitated by an
automobile accident, upon a wealthy
widow. Ellery learns that the accident
was a murder attempt, and sets forth
to pin his finger on the guilty indivi
dual, while his charming secretary
conducts her own private investiga
tions, with highly amusing and seri
ous results.
Germany^# New Anti
Freeze Uevice Fails
Luftwaffe
Stockholm.—Sharp curtailment of
Nazi air activity along practically the
whole Russian front as the result of
the ineffectiveness of German anti
freeze chemicals is reported here.
According to reliable sources the
Nazi anti-freeze is useless in temper
atures fifteen degrees below zero and
hundreds of planes have been render
ed useless as a result. Many of these
planes were severely damaged by the
failure of the anti-freeze.
An attempt to combat this unfor
seen difficulty has been made by the
Germans and engines have been kept
running continuously. This has re
sulted of course in s tremendous In
crease not only of gas and oil, but
also of ground crew, and cuts seri
ously into the time which the planes
can be kept in the air.
A school teacher one day, during j
the hour for drawing, suggested to
her pupils that each draw what be or
she would like to be when grown up.
At the end of the lesson one little
girl showed an empty paper.
"Why,” eali the iaUw; ’’isn't
there anything you would like to be
jwnen you grow up?”
"Tea," said the little girl, “I would
like to be married, but I don’t know
how to draw it”
