FOUR GOOD IDEAS
One Congressman who has put into practice his
theories on the necessity of unshackling production is
Senator Joseph C. O’Mahoney of Wyoming, who as
chairman of a subcommittee on industrial reorganiza
tion, makes the following proposals:
(1) A thorough study of incentive taxation and
the enactment of necessary legislation to stimulate in
vestment of private funds in productive enterprises.
(2) Enactment of reform legislation to permit ap
peal from the arbitrary orders and decisions of bure
aucratic agencies.
(3) Enactment of a federal charter law to define
newer:: c"d 'ecponsibilities of corporations to en
able ..nd litilc business to “bring to marbet the
roods and services which must be produced if the na
tional debt is ever to be paid.”
V 4) Creation of machinery to permit industry to
appeal from the decisions of WPB. and other war
agencies regarding the allocation of materials, prior
ities, etc.
As the Senator points out. expanding production
is the key to prosperity after the war and it will have
to be protected from domination by either government
or private monopolies if the democratic system of free
enterprise is to survive.

WAGE TREND
Weekly earnings of all industrial workers increas
ed by an average of 16.6 per cent in the year from Sep
tember, 1942—at the level of which wages and prices
were to be stabilized under the Second Price Control
Act—to September, 1943. Average hourly earnings
increased by 11.2 per cent. Lengthened hours and
overtime pay contributed to both increases.
Average costs of living in large cities increased
during the year by 5.2 per cent. Food costs increased
by 8.5 per cent.
These figures are from the latest monthly reports
of the Bureau of Labor Statistics.
ARMY FINDS USE FO* EVERYTHING
How versatility can turn to account almost any
thing that lies at hand:
In the absence of hemp, American mountain troops
are using a nylon rope, which is stronger.
Army bands have new plastic fifes, just as sweet
in tones as the old ones. Plastic also is used to make
inner soles for jungle fighters; it keeps the men’s feet
dryer, and can be washed.

NAVY ENTOURAGES
GUNNERS TO MISS
NEW ORLEANS (AP)-^Offi
cers at the Navy's anti-aircraft
training school instruct fledg
ling gunners deliberately to miss
the practice target, a red rayon
sleeve towed behind a slow
moving old navy plane.
The idea is that enemy bomb
ers will be traveling at twice
the speed of the target here, and
that if the boys learn to shoot
ahead of the target as it moves
toward them—give it a good
“lead”— they won’t waste any j
fire in the wake of an attacking
dive bomber later.
SOLDIERS AWAY,
BEARS GET BREAK
STATE COLLEGE. Pa. (AP)
—The diversion of many a hunt
er into the armed services has
helped increase the bear popula
tion of Pennslvania.
Dr. P. F. English, associate
professor of wildlife manage
ment at Pennslvania State Col
lege, said bear hunting would
improve this year and “is going
to get better and better each
year until the men in the service
return.”
The number of bears killed
during the season a pear ago was
only 150. The normal bag is
around 500.
