PARRAN ADVISES ROCKETS ARE UJINSISKVT1UJN W FUEL E i’ER’TTVE —V— WASHINGTON. — Unless fuel is conserved now, many householders will have to reduce the heat level in their homes in mid-winter, ac cording to Dr. Thomas Parran, Sur geon General of the Public Health Service. “Since the human body adjusts without injury to extreme cold, pro vided the transition is gradual and clothing is adequate, it is the part of wisdom to start with a low tem perature and maintain it steadily,” Dr. Parran said. “The so-called com fort level is about 68 to 70 degrees Fahrenheit. One can learn to be per fectly comfortable in temperatures between 60 and 66 if one is well, properly clothed, properly fed and reasonably active. It is well to main tain separate warmer rooms for in fants and invalids needing extra heat.” A MUST ITEM" OF PRODUCTION —V— WASHINGTON—In a report pre pared by OWI emphasising the new importance of rockets as a destruc tive weapon, it was revealed that rocket weapons are now rated as ma terial for “must” production, and that they will play a more and more ef fective part as the war proceeds. The Navy's requirements for rocket ammunition will continue to increase until the peak is reached at the end of the first quarter or early in the | second quarter of 1943. By then the !Navy will be spending approximately | $100,000,000 per month on rocket ammunition alone, as is now being spent per month for all types of naval ammunition, according to the Bn Ireau of Ordnance. -V “The malicious destroyer of prop erty is the enemy of both capital and labor.”—Cartwright. _ —/ KNOWLEDGE OF THE RIGHTS OF MAN “God grant that not only the love of liberty, bat a thor ough knowledge of the rights of man may pervade all the nations of the earth so that a philosopher may set his foot anywhere and say, This is my country*.** —Benjamin Franklin. _ .Jills HELP YOU WITH YOUR, <STUDIE^/ , That’s one of the things I en joy most—giving kids the proper amount and the proper kind of light for the best work.

PHONES 7116-7117 I MOST CONTRACTS HAVE A CLAUSE FOR ARBITRATION —V— WASHINGTON. — Three out of every four union agreements in 14 important industries provide for ar bitration as the terminal point in grievance machinery, the Bureau of Labor Statistics reported in a sum mary of arbitration provisions in union agreements in tne November Monthly Labor Review. Agreements with large companies tend to have arbitration provisions more frequently than do those cov ering smaller plants, the BLS said. Although permanent arbitration ma chinery is provided in only about 5 per cent of the agreements, such provisions cover more than one fourth of the workers employed un der arbitration agreements. More than 90 per cent of the agree ments provide for automatic arbi tration at the request of either party, but less than 5 per cent require mu tual consent. -V Explanation Of The Withholding Tax Law Is Given —V— WASHINGTON—The revised rates for withholding income tax from wages, provided by the Individual In > come Tax Act of 1944, apply to all wages paid by an employer to his employes on and after January 1, 1945, regardless of when the wages were earned, Joseph D. Nunan, Jr., Commissioner of Internal Revenue, has announced. Under the new law, for example, any wages earned in December, but not paid to the em ploye until January 1 or later, are subject to the new withholding rates. On the average, about the same amount of tax will be withheld under the new rates as was withheld under WMC REPORTS NUMBER WOMEN IN TRAINING WASHINGTON — Enrollments of women in all types of Federal-State war production training programs totalled 3,103,600 from July 1, 1940 to October 1, 1944, WMC announces. Of the total enrollments of women, approximately two-thirds, or 2,049, 155 were in courses training workers to fill jobs in war industries other than agriculture. There were 1, 054,445 enrollments of women in short agricultural courses, WMC said. The enrollment of women represent ed 22.1 per cent of all enrollments in Federal-State war production training programs in the same period. MMMWMMMMWWWMMMMMMMA the old rates. However, since the rates were revised to adjust each em ploye’s withholding more closely to his annual income tax, in individual cases the withholding may be either more or less than before, Nunan said. FEPC NOTES NEGRO HIRING BY PHONE CO. —V— WASHINGTON.—FEPC Chairman Malcolm Ross has announced that the New York Telephone Company has informed the FEPC it has hired its first Negro girl as a switchboard op erator and that a substantial num ber of other candidates for Buch posi tions have been asked to report for a final interview, preparatory to em ployment and training. “This action,” said Ross, “repre sents the adjustment of complaints filed with FEPC. Officials of the company denied any intention of dis criminating and assured us that the WESTERN CITIE8 ARE BANNING (CONVENTIONS WASHINGTON. — San Francisco and Portland, Ore., have banned all conventions requiring inter-city travel for the duration of the war, ODT Director Col.

Johnson said, “The Nation’s transportation system, now hauling more military and essential travelers than ever before in history, cannot stand the added and unneces sary strain of transporting conven tioneers.” company’s policy was to give full con sideration . . . without regard to race, creed, color or national origin . . .
