Senators get five minutes with him. Congressmen get from 5 to 15 minutes. Cabinet members frequently get only 15 minutes. So recently eyebrows went up when the White House bulletin board listed OPAdministrator Chester Bowles for a full hour with President Truman. Observers knew that the heat was on to increase the price of steel, and sell to Inflation's No. 1 enemy on giving the nation its first big Inflationary shot in the arm. When Bowles entered the President's office, the die was already cast. Truman had decided that steel prices were going up. His job was to sell the idea to Bowles. Truman himself had been sold by his old Czar John friend. Reconversion Snyder of St. Louis, who In turn had been wined and dined by the steel people in Pittsburgh. Chester Bowles also had talked with big steel leaders. His talks were far more energetic, more persuasive than Snyder's. Bowles once ran one of the best advertising firms in the nation, is. an excellent salesman. All his salesmanship was turned on big steel leaders. "You are going to have a bigger margin of profit than yon realize," he told them. "You are now working 44 hours In the mills and 52 hours In your captive mines. When you drop to 40 hours, you will net a big saving In overtime. The price of scrap iron is now at ceiling. It will drop in the spring, which means more saving. Production per man went op to 10 per cent after the last war. It will do the same after this war, which will save you 100 million dollars alone. You can't tell what your profits will be. So vrhy not try out a new increased wage scale without a sharp price hike? Try it out for six months then come back and we'll examine the whole question again. If you need a price increase then we'll give It to you." Bowles is a persuasive talker. He has more charm than any Washing-tonia- n since Franklin Roosevelt. But he made no impression. "After the last war, steel wages soared even without union pressure," Bowles summarized. "So did prices. And once inflation gets going, you'll have labor coming back until they get, not a 30 per cent increase in wages, but 50 per cent or even 75 per cent. You can't tell where this thing will stop." EUROPEAN REFUGEES Some of Jimmy Byrnes' expediters state have really pepped up diplomats when It department comes to admitting European refugees. When President Truman first pro posed filling unused U. S. immigration quotas by admitting homeless refugees from Europe, state department diplomats said they had neither funds, nor the personnel nor perhaps even the disposition. However, some of the South Carolina blood which Byrnes hat Injected Into the state department (men who drink coca-coInstead of tea) decided that Presidential orders should not be kissed off so airily. Though no money was available, they finally went to the bureau of the budget and squeezed out enough cash money to hire new consular personnel. Already they have started flying supplies to Europe to set up special offices to screen refugees and give them visas. diplomats are leaning back in amazement They have never seen so much speed before. old-lin- Old-lin- e MERRY-GO-ROUN- D Last spring the department of agriculture quietly agreed to advance France 750,000 tons of sugar from the Cuban crop. French colonial crops at that time were down to practically nothing and even what we loaned the French permitted a per capita consumption of only 22 pounds annually, compared to our 64. This friendly move is paying oft now, however; because under the terms of the agreement, practically the entire French West Indies crop for this year comes to us. It is somewhat larger than was anticipated, and current estimates are that we will receive about 600,000 tons. . . . Henry Morgenthau's book on Germany, which appeared last fall, is not the only book the former secretary of the treasury will write. During his 12 years of close association with President Roosevelt, Morgenthau made painstaking Botes on every conversation he had and except for Harry with FDR Hopkins he probably had more than any other cabinet officer. CAPITAL CHAFF The radio time for Senator Taft's attack on Truman's address to the nation was reserved for him by the Republican national committee. . . . When Henry Kaiser signed his new contract with the auto workers, he remarked: "Dick Thomas (UAW president) Is the man who came to the west coast last year and convinced me that I should take over the Willow Run plant and make automobiles. That puts the responsibility on his shoulders to see to it that I have the men to do the Job." - "Tim-m-mber-r-r- too. We are making a valentine box. We chose a committee to make it. Lawrence and Joan and Cora and Leo are the committee. We are making valentines to put in the box. We can write the names on the valentines ourselves. We can write letters. We wrote letters to Ballard when he was sick. We wrote to our mothers to shew them how well we can write. We wrote to Miss Jensen to thank her for the beautiful books she sent us. Stanford has gone away. He will go to school in Brigham City, We are sorry he had to go away. We will write him a letter and send him valentines. ! j JJj as y 1 this Clean, Family . e self-hel- p I j b I j PB-- 1 3 1 1 "8 i To OH amount to Once more the farmer is being asked to break all production records. To plow more acres, feed more livestock and harvest more crops than ever before. He is being asked to do this so that America may continue to feed and clothe the needy throughout the world, as well as our own folks at home. sip p n RinfiPR $135,000,000.. Steel workers are already among the highest s in America. Before the paid strike their average earnings were approximately $1.16 an hour, $9.26 a day and $46.32 a week. The U. S. Steel week on a forty-hou- r offer would have given them about $1.31 an hour, $10.46 a day and $52.32 a week. But they refused, it, and accused the steel industry of conspiring to ruin the union with an offered wage increase of $25 a month, the highest increase in the industry's history. The strike is a direct violation of the contract between the union and the steel companies. The union wanted a long-tercontract and got it. The union agreed not to strike during the life of the contract. Yet, the union struck on January 21. wage-earner- carry out this job the farmer must have tools of production.

FIGHTING FOR A WAY OF LIFE This year the farmer won't receive as many of the replacements he desperately needs. He'll fight ahead with his old, broken machinery trying to crack another food production record, but the cards are stacked against him. All this means more headaches for the farmer loss of vital food production, and a bad Farmers have a big stake in continuous steel production. They have an opportunity to say what they think about unchecked labor monopolies which bring to a stop the nation's recovery efforts, through excessive wage demands which could only add to inflation and cause soaring prices. dent in his pocketbook.
