Morse Hits Navy
Wage Policy As
Discriminatory
WASHINGTON, June 5 (UP)
Sen. Wayne-"Morse, R., Ore, to
day awaited arrival of data from
Oregon to substantiate his charge
that milltaJr-'1ailthoritities have
difjcrirnina'.cfi against Portland as
0 wartime maritime center.
When hi;jion document his
slalcmcntSi''Morse told tha sen
ate, .he wll -give his colleagues
the fact in :the case. During an
hour-long speech yesterday on
inequities of navy wage policy
along the Pacific coast he men
tioned that he believes tha army,
navy, war shipping administra
tion and office of defense trans
portation wtre parties to the discrimination.-
' Facilities Stand Idle
J'There have been times when
70' per cent of the port facilities
have been unused," he said.
"They have even gone to the
lengths of having longshore gangs
shifted to San Francisco."
On the issue of wage-injustices
in west coast repair yards, Morse
pulled no punches. He criticized
high navy officials strongly for
"name-calling tactics" in an at
tempt 10 recruit labor. These, he
said, were merely unjustified
face-saving1 devices.
He plaeedithc navy's manpow
er troubles at its own door and
demanded that the navy bring its
wage scales., up to those of privately-run
yards.
"Should the navy be surprised
when workincn are unwilling to
leave a private yard at $1.20 an
hour for a government yard at
$1.14?" he demanded.
1 Maintenance of a southern Cal
ifornia repair wage rate 11.6 per
cent greater than in northern
coast ports is a clear "discrim
ination," lio charged. He pre
dicted that unless it is abandoned
it will, become "a very hot labor
issue. .1 '

Cream-Seal Hands
For Dirty Chores
By ALICIA KART
NEA Staff Writer
When you go into the garden
to dig if you're the kind of
earth-grubber who feels ham
pered by gloves wear a cream
on your hands to seal up pores.
One of these protective creams
first devised as an industrial
hand-cream for war workers and
now used cjcdfully by many wo
men anxious to guard the bcauly
of their hands keeps almost ev
erything on the outside. When
you wasii your cream-sealed
hands in plain water, you'll find
all dirt floats off with the cream.
Plug up your nails by digging
them into a cake of soft soap be
fore you tackle garden rows to
'prevent the entry of dirt. These
dirt catch-alls also will float out
from tips when you wash your
hands.
A nightly routine oiling-of nails
wilh an anti-brittle cream, during
the months ahead when your
hands wrestle with weeds and a
hoe. will keep tips n.ore resistant
to hard wear and tear.
