ENCOURAGING Donald M. Nelson's report on the clothing situa- tion is encouraging. He declares there is little dan- ger of clothes rationing; that if the current program is carried out as he fells it will be, allotment of wearing apparel will be entirely unnecessary. This laudable condition comes about because of a com- bination of reasons, all of which are important and significant. First, Mr. Nelson states, are cooper- ating in an unselfish program designed to cut down types of buying which might bring shortages. Manu- facturers, too, Mr. Nelson says, are solidly behind the program to head off rationing. By the reduction of the number of styles and by the production and sales of low-priced clothing, much be accom- plished to prevent panic buying of expensive fabrics and merchants can modes i ing ration rumors—some of them probably subver- |ation. In earlier days of the war a tremendous number of our people thought ofs their personal |comfort and luxury first; of their duty to the war |economy second. Had this attiture persisted, and had it been carried to the purchase of clothing, rationing would have been in the cards, regardless of how earnestly industry and government worked to prevent it It was on that “me first” attitude that the cloth- | |sively inspired—were founded. It is good to know that as the war progresses Americans generally are a more serious and unselfish view. To us adopting most significant implication in the whole this is the | Nelson statement | Glider ht Trains (New York Times) | Some time may still elapse before the heavens lare darkened by swarms of aerial freight trains lgliding to distant ports across the seven seas. Yet | first train from America, towed through 3,500 | miles of Atlantic storms, has just unloaded its cargo in England. It was only a one-glider train. It car- ried only a ton and a half of freight. But it ma Ibe the pioneer of a future traffic of which the world today has hardly dreamed . | Great issues spring from small beginnings. The| | massive fighting fleets that span our present skies {to decide the whole course of history are the pro- geny of the Wrights' twelve-second flight at Kitty hawk. The Wrights made that first, feeble test of motored air power wih little experience to guxde' them. But the history of gliding goes back to 1871, |when Otto Lilienthal began to demonstrate the lift- | ling force of the atmosphere. The Wrights themselves experimented with gliders before they used a motor The war has brought startling glider developments. The Germans, with their head start in this Ileld,‘i took Crete with troop-manned gliders. They em-| ployed glider trains extensively in Norway and Rus- | sia and towed hundreds of gliders in and out of | Africa. The British last November sent glider trains of paratroops from England to Algiers. Last year we heard many encouraging reports of glider develop- ment in our own Army. This year our gliders have been absent from the news, possibly because they are ‘being held for the invasion of Europe. But the glider will have its use in peace as well as in war. If one glider can be towed successfully| across the ocean, technical research will surely enable | trains of several or more to follow. Locomotive | planes have already towed three gliders at once in | test flights. Plane-carried freight may always be somewhat limitel by its cost. But gliders, even with ;[h(' eighty-four-foot wingspread of the American- | built craft that made the historic trip to England, can | be turned out at no great expense.

Murray bluntly charged the President with going back on his promise to roll back prices to September 15, 1942. “You haven't done what you said you were going to do, Mr. President,” the CIO chief declared “Labor is getting tired of being a football.” Obviously nettled by the charge that he hadn’t kept his word, the President pressed his lips together, then reminded Murray in frigid tones that if he could get any bet- ter cooperation from Congr price subsidies and other than he (Roosevelt) iss had received, Murray was welcome to try. Furthermore, he added, no administration had done to improve living conditions the working man than his own. “I'm not trying to censure your administration,” countered Murray, “but the record is pretty clear in this case.

A nationwide tour to line up convention delegates is being planned, but meantime Jaeckle has been busy with some minor chores. Recently he was host at a cocktail party in Washington for various GOP Congressmen, especially the Ohio delegation, probably aimed at cutting the ground from Ohio’s colorless Presidential hopeful, Gov. John W. Bricker.
