SOMETHING FOR US TO SHOOT AT
(Continue^ from page one)
I hope that Nou won’t think that we
do nothing butjgee historical places. I
assure you that we have been korking
hard and that ( we have been getting
plenty of training. We are now on
American rations and are getting
plenty to e«ti but we are not being
pampered. I ?ead an article the other
day where someone who had just
returned to America said that we
were “lolling in the lap of luxury.’’
He evidently didn’t come out to see
the field troops.
All of us are well and our spirits
are good. We think of all of you at
home and are looking forward to
the day when we can once more be
there with you. We know that day
won’t arrive until we finish the job
we started to do—wipe Hitler and
Hirohito off the map. But we
don’t intend to take any longer to
finish it than is necessary.
With kindest regards and all good
wishes, I am,
Sincerely yours,
Tom
BOSTON FIRE IS ONE OF WORST
DISASTERS
The Boston Cocoanut Grove Night
club fire ranks among the nation’s
worst fire disasters on the basis of
the toll of lives taken.

in the United States occurred in Chi
cago’s Iroquois theater fire on De
cember 30, 1903, when 602 were burn
ed to death.
The New London, Texat, school
disaster of 1937 killed 465 children,
bait many of these deaths were at
tributable to the explosion which pre
ceded the fire.

cisco earthquake and fire of 1906.,

include:
Hoboken docks and ships fire,
June 30, 1900—145.

WAGES OF FARM LABOR CAN BE
RAISED IF WORKERS RECEIVE
SUM LESS THAN $200 A MONTH
Washington, Nov. 30—The govern
ment removed all restrictions today
on wage increases for farm hands re
ceiving less than $200 a month. The
order, by James F. Byrnes, economic
stabilization director, gave agricul
tural labor a (preferred status held
by no other wage or salary group.
Byrnes also prohibited farmers
from cutting wages below the high
est rate paid between January 1 and
September 15, 1942.
The drift of farm workers to
higherpaid jobs in war plants, cou
pled with the induction of thousands
into the armed forces, has created a
manpower crisis in agriculture. The
war manpower commission has
sought to obtain selective service de
ferment for many of these workers.
“The retention and recruitment of
agricultural labor,” Byrnes said, “is
of prime necessity in supplying the
United Nations with needed foods
and fibers ... to aid in the effec
tive prosecution of the war.”
At the same time he said it was
only fair that higher wages be paid
farm laborers because their general
level of pay “is sub-standard,” and
“a wide disparity now exists be
tween salaries and wages paid labor
in agriculture, & salaries and wages
paid labor in other essential war in
dustries.”
To gear the whole question of
farm wages to the production - of
agricultural commodities, Byrnes
delegated control over them to Sec
retary of Agriculture Wickard. This
control previously was held by the
war labor board, which will continue
to have supervision over any farm
compensation above $2,400 a year.
Wickard was given authority to
make any regulations he deems
necessary or, after public notice, to
put ceilings on farm wages in spec
ial areas, or in connection with cer
tain crops or classes of employers.
The Byrnes order was approved by
President Rosevelt and made public
by the White House.

Miss Carol Lloyd of Memphis inspecte a pattern of the new cotton
cloth called fabric-masslin. The new fabric has been developed by
Johnson and Johnson, makers of surgical dressings. So cheap is the
process of manufacturing that after a garment made of it has been
soiled, it will be thrown away with no^ttempt to launder it. Commercial
production is not expected to begin until after the war.
