Meanwhile, the war labor board already has held its first public hear ing on a wage case when the negoti ations between International Har vester and the CIO went to Washing ton. For the first time the public was able *to follow the reasoning on both sides and make up its own mind. Reports to congressmen, particu larly from the rural areas, show that a large number of people have lost all patience with union dickering over higher wages in war work. All congressmen are receiving demands 1 for curbs on labor and many of them* are anxious to go home to their dis tricts to make careful checkups on public opinion. Labor, however, is not the only group which is being taken over the coals here. Practically every part of our war program is. being in vestigated by some committee or oth er. ThFsenatenattonardeferaeisaiF mittee, headed by Senator Harry Truman, is most in the limelight right now. Witnesses before that committee have pointed to wide iaeffieieaey»: waste and mismanagement in tee handling of various phases of our war program. Many of the most heated discus sions here revolve around the pro ducts which are being rationed—^rub ber, sugar, gasoline, etc.' Following the now-we-haVe-it-now-werdon’t bungle about the nation’s supply of gasoline several months ago, rirtion- ing of any product now stimulate# close scrutiny to determine tee ac tual need for it There is little objec tion to tee idea of rationing, but since it Is a subject close to the American people It is a popular one to uac for stimulating public lateug U.
