Petrillo Hold-up , This Jimmy Petrillo can give John L. Lewis lessons on running labor union. Jimmy rims the musicians union, and .has already run "canned music out of the country, except for what was bottled before he called a halt. When the War Labor board calls a hearing, Petrillo says there's no labor dispute; he simply is not going to let his musicians 'make recordings at any priced , . Here is -another illustration of the way . r the musician's 'union is run. A jeweler down at San Francisco gives an annual party to his customers : 'According' to 'Plan! - The words "acording to' plan' in the'military communiques are both satisfying" and tantaliz ing. They are reassuring, but fail to convey in-T formation that you 'can put in terms of geo graphy. And it is remembered ' that of tentimes the same words are used conventionally, lo cov er up the fact that operations are not going ac cording to plan, or at least according to hope. In the case of the Sicilian invasion the sub sequent or accompanying details, meagre though . theyj were, "verified ; the- phrase according" to plan. " For it does appear that the invasion is my army has hot been disposed of yet, . ' An invasion is apt .to follow, the pattern of a major surgical operation. The landing, like the surgery -may be successful, but the crisis may not come tin the third or fourth day the real "counter-attack" -of enemy; troops or "fever and infection is launched. The way jitters have seized the radios in Rome and Berlin, in Vichy and Morocco it '. would appear that the - axis powers are getting ready to charge off Sicily as ' a , loss, already. If so, Hitler will probably say it was "according to plan. - : - Contracts have been lei for a war, prisoner camp over at Minnedoka, Idaho, which will cost over two million dollars. This war business is costly, even when you're winning. ' ; S -Yhe.Neivc By PAUL MALLON and owner, of Wedding ;ringi bought . t . hi - progressing very satisfactorily, thoughvthc en- stores. The party Is an eniargemeni orms regu lar weekly radio program. . This is what hap pened this year, as told in his ad in San Fran cisco papers: ' : ' "We're giving this broadcast and radio pro gram in the face of uncertain difficulties. We're having Union trouble Musicians Union. First . . they demanded we employ a union orchestra of 20 pieces. Since pur radio programs never use music and since our entertainment planned .'for the theatref "party does'not require music - we declined to employ an orchestra. The -de- ' ' tnand of the Musicians Union looked to us like extortion. We refuse to" be coerced. : f "We were warned by the management of the War Memorial Opera House, which we had en- gaged, that the Musicians Union might make it impossible for the management to open and op- ... ,' erate the theatre and. so we were obliged to . cancel our reservation and move to the Civic ! Auditorium. Announcement of this -: change brought a new demand from the Musicians "-Union. The Civic. Auditorium, they advised : KFRC, requires -the use of a thirty piece or chestra, by; Musicians Union ukase. ! "So we dont know what will happen. You " may have to face a picket line. We may have -, most any kind of difficulty, mechanical or otherwise. We don't know the resources, or the desperation of the Musicians Union. We hope - and trust nothing win happen. We're ..deter- - mined to stage our usual Sunday night broad- - cast. Well do anything in our power to do so. If unsuccessful, well at least entertain our guests with all the games and contests planned without the broadcast, if we are not prevented -- by force we can't overcome. v-i f - "We have every hope of carrying: off the". . - party successfully in every detail. But when ou are dealing with, the Musicians Union you never can tell what may happen. To keep faith :" J -with our friends and the public we state the facts so you may be advised. Then, if the Mu- sicians Union is mean enough and powerful 1 ' enough to spoil this party the responsibility - to seven thousand disappointed Citizens will be - their. Let the resentment be upon them, not upon us. One thing please do not ask us to do - be coerced into employing an orchestra neither - needed nor desired. We have thousands for ad vertising but not one cent for tribute." - m . - 1 We'd say the jeweler was right: it does "look like extortion.' - - : : : -y j: srjy t One Last Fib" TcDdlav's ladlD.

WASHINGTON, July 11 A few : enlightened business leaders and economists outside the gov ernment are groping toward a new post-war plan to furnish full employment j They are working in. a direction opposite to the depression-groove thinkers of the' new deal, a di rection suggested in this column published July 7, which would make democracy work effi ciently Instead of abandoning it for centralized government and totalitarian controls.. Their idea seems to be to keep wages tip, prices low, pro- . fits up. They . would do this by developing mass production be yond anything we have known up to now in this' machine age.

Brief word pictures given by re turning airmen who looked down on the scene whet our desire to see the photographs and movies of the scene. - ' ' , This was, as stated, the greatest armada in all history, beside . which the galleys and tri remes of the .Wars of ancient times were trivial. -".-The sea must have been. black with craft, war ships, big and little, cargo vessels, patrol ves sels, landing barges. The "La Linea reports of the movement of craft through the straits of Gibral tar into the Mediterranean was correct, so the axis knew what was coming if it did not know where or when. - J Once again the value of sea power and of air power is demonstrated. Control of the sea sur , face and of the air overhead was what permit ted the movement to occur and the landings without serious interference. And control of sea and air will permit the flow of reenforce ments and supplies to enable the landing force to "overcome resistance. - i - ' This factor is overlooked by those .who say glibly that Hitler missed his chance when he' failed to invade Britain after Dunkirk. He did miss his best opportunity, but It is by no means certain that he would have succeeded had he, tried then. First, he had no two thousand" ships. It would have taken weeks to assemble enough ; ships to transport a large army, 1 its weapons and supplies.. Second, he did not have control of the sesuThe'Eritishjiavy was there,' almost intact, and It would have- been In the channel slugging for allJt was. worth to blow tip the craft bearing mvadersTThird, Hitler did rot have control of the air over the channel. It . was the local superiority of the RAF covering the beaches of Dunkirk and the ships crossing the channel which enabled the British to sal vage their army. Of course, Hitler might have brought up planes, but there were insufficient airfields and service arrangements to insure success. . T r " : T " ' Sea power plus air power, these remain heavy potentials in warfare. The ' clearing out of the Mediterranean will release f thousands ot ' tons of naval might and Qf merchant shipping for ra-vice in other theatres or other errands.

With so mar.y ex-baseball I layers in cur amy thsy found it e f-r l"zz. - y to "slide" Technically, their scheme is known price policy." 1 The initial idea has been under uncongealed discussions among business people for the past few months. In March, an official of General Electric, David C. Prince, advanced an Idea of maintaining $110, 000,000,000 of purchasing power in Amertcan post war market by careful private business planning 1 and 1 technological improvements. ' ;vj The Aluminum Company of America ' has pub lished paid advertisements since January urging v a business system of "imagineering," for post-war-based on a low price structure. The United States chamber of commerce has done some promotion to get business men to assume the responsibility for working out some such private enterprise formula. Now comes the Brookings institution economist, Edwin G. Nourse, gathering up these various stray lines of thought and setting them forth in a booklet called "Basic Criteria . of Price Policy." In this pamphlet, the theory begins to assume proportions of a rounded-out substitute philosophy for new dealism, the old negative, defensive way of pro viding employment by artificial economic tricks such as unbalanced budgets and share-the-work plans. i,: ' :; ;: ;f,.n :f, -i f-.-T Mr. Nouxse concludes the current situation is . "ripe for action in the new' direction. .Technical developments in war production have put business years ahead in that respect, he says, with sut" unprecedented number of skilled workers available. He does not know whether prices actually can be reduced. That all depends on the outcome of tha current inflationary war price trend. Nor has he ' laid down anything more than some basic princi- pies upon which the theory might be worked out 5 These are Just the bernnings of thought on the subject, but probably the most heartening evidence that post war maladjustment can be avoided as has been brought forth. The assumption by private ' business' leadership of responsibility for employment, It seems to 'mv j will not, however, relieve the government of consid- - erable overall responsibility for the success of such a plan. The government too could well cooperate. -Its natural responsibility would be to maintain the sharpest competition- in private business, ..thus furthering the low cost policy, and exert mild but -rigid pressures; to keep it on the line of stability. - '. For instance, a cooperative government might in stitute sliding scale tax policy to help the pro gram work, raising rates if over-expansion ap peared, and reducing rates If symptoms of under production became evident. :j . . . Indeed, a ; benevolent government - could police " the low price policy effectively and thus assure Its success. It could hold back Its own plan of vast -public works expenditures (national resources plan ning board report) and shut off spending entirely, ' arid economizing' sharply in government as busi ness proceeds on a satisfactory course. Later it could release public works projects to whatever extent a declining situation might even tually require. The realities of the current outlook logically necessitate this anyway. This country now "is out, of everything," as an editor has written to me. It will take at least three to five post war years or more to get the things we need. In those days, there will be plenty of work for everyone with hih wages, thus no need for nead dealism.' V Democracy can be crils to work, if we only try. KOIN CBS TTJCSDAT 7 Ka.
