IDAHO: STATERS
Leicht, Ex-Army Star Leads
Ducks To 33-7 Win
WSC Wins 33-0
rni Ore.. Oct. 6 U.R
Jake Leicht the Leicht that
didn't fail for the university oi
Oregon with his interceptions,
end runs and passing sparked
the Webfeet to a 33 to 7 football
victory over the University of
Idaho here this afternoon.
Quarterback Leicht, a late
campus arrival after a brilliant
nrDar vuith nrmv teams, set UP
Oregon's first touchdown in the
first two minutes of the opening
quarter by returning Hatch's
kick 31 yards to the Idaho 25,
later eluding three laano rac
i nitrh a nass to End War
berg, who scored from the Van
dal two-yard line.
It was a field day for Tex
Oliver's Webfoot's 25 substi
tutes seeing play for the second,
third and clear into the fourth-
Vandal Coach Brown also te-
lied on reserves, but his team
wa ahle to score only in the
last quarter on a nine-yard pass
from Half Shepherd to i.na Jim
Brown into the end zone. The
Idaho touchdown was set up by
a fumble recovered by leit ana
4, .or
Orpffon's second score was in
the first period, when Leicht
went wide around his lett end
fnr a tflllv. In that period Idaho
invaded Oregon territory only
once, to the 47-yard line.
Tha Wnhfnnt.c scored aeatn in
the second period, when Leicht
passed to right End Bob Anaer
Knn In the end zone.
The third period was the big
nna -fnr flrpenn. After Hatch
had fumbled for Idaho, Leicht
recovered on the Vandal 29 and
right Half Donovan went wide
to the left for the tally.
.Tnhnsnn took a shuttle rjass
then went 20 yards for the other
touchdown.
Pullman, Wash., Oct. 8 (U.R)
Washington State college ex'
ploded a crack T-formation to
smother Oregon State 33-0 in a
Pacific Coast conference football
tilt today before 9,000 fans.
The WSC offense clicked in
every period against the shaky
Oregon State line and even
Coach Phil Sorboe's fourth string
backfield managed to score in
the heavily-substituted game.
The Cougars opened up with
a touchdown in the first two
minutes of the game and follow
ed with another toward the end
of the period. Each of the next
three periods saw WSC score
touchdowns.
Coach Lon Stiner's inexperi
enced backfield found it rough
going against Washington State's
solid wall and threatened to
score only once in the last period
when a long looping pass from
Halfback Neil Richardson to
Rodney Jones brought the ball to
WSC's 27-yard line. But the
Beavers stalled on the 21.

RECONVERSION
BOGGING
DOWN
Strikes are threatening
the- entire automobile
industry. General
Motors is being speci
fically singled out for attack to enforce un
reasonable demands. Some of our plants have
already been closed and shipment of mate
rials from the plants of many of our suppliers
has already been stopped by strikes.
The interests of all Americans should be
considered. This is not only a General Motors
problem. It is a national one as well. If our
plants are closed by strikes the strikes will be
against the interests of all the people of our
country as much as they will be against
General Motors.
AFTERMATH While the war is over,
OF WAR the aftermath of war pre
sents big problems. War is
terribly wasteful in blood and treasure. This
one was especially so. It was not prosperity
even though to some it may have seemed to
be. And the immediate aftermath of such a
war cannot be prosperity either. The clean-up,
the mopping-up, the reconversion still re
quire hard work, patience, understanding,
and some sacrifice on the part of all of us.
INDUSTRY Our fighting men crushed
ON THE JOB our enemies with the huge
quantity of weapons pro
duced by American industry. But that is
behind us. We would like to have been better
prepared for peace, but the terrific demands
of the war for men and materials did not
make this possible. Now we have planned a
second all-out effort and stand ready and
anxious to do an equally impressive job.
PROBLEMS OF
RECONVERSION
American industry has
proved its ability to
perform. It has the
know-how, the resources, the courage to
push ahead. But even with these fine assets
it cannot do the job alone. It must have the
goodwill and backing of the people of our
country.
Our second all-out effort to meet a critical
situation will bog down unless the real facts
are recognized and sound measures promptly
taken to solve the problems. Temporarily,
while we are liquidating the war, there should
be a sound national wage-price policy to
stabilize and expand the economy.
DANGER OF The most serious threat we
INFLATION face is that of runaway
inflation. The danger
comes from three sources: first, the wartime
and current tremendous deficit spending of
our government; second, the pent-up de
mands for goods and services to the point
where some are willing to pay excess prices
even in black markets to satisfy their impa
tient and selfish desires; third, the desires of
equally selfish unions to take advantage of
the situation and force unreasonable wage
increases.
Inflation is the worst of all economic
diseases. It reduces the value of money in
terms of what money will buy. It reduces the
value of the savings of the people. It under
mines security. It underwrites depression.
It destroys confidence. It creates unemploy
ment. Inflation must be avoided.
REAL In a free market and in the absence
PRICES of subsidies and speculation, the
cost of human effort, be it in die
form of wages, salaries or other forms of
compensation, quickly determines the price
we pay for goods.
Higher wages without a corresponding
increase in productivity are inflationary.
Nothing is gained unless higher wages mean
more goods and services, more customers
and more good jobs. This requires individual
application to the job in hand and technologi
cal progress all along the line better ways of
doing all the things that must be done to
produce and deliver products to customers
at reasonable prices. This takes time.
A minority, by monopoly or by pressure
group action, may temporarily profit at the
expense of others. But the idea of wage in
creases all along the line without a corre
sponding increase in productivity is a delu
sion. All the people cannot lift themselves
by their bootstraps.
UNION Today, unions in our plants
DEMANDS are demanding 52 hours' pay
for 40 hours' work. Their de
mands if granted would result in over 67
hours' pay at present base rates for 48 hours
of work where plants are working on such
a schedule.
Equivalent or greater demands have been
made on our suppliers the parts manufac
turersthe electrical industry the steel in
dustry the rubber industry the oil and
gasoline industry the railroads in fact, on
practically every industry involved in the
production of automobiles.
WAGES AND General Motors wages are
PRICES now at an all-time high
and are importantly higher
than the average wages paid throughout the
country for similar work.
The present government stabilization policy
permits wage increases without government
approval only if such increases will not re
sult in a request to increase prices. The
formula the OPA has proposed for pricing
our new products does not recognize or allow
all the actual increases in our costs that have
been incurred since 1942.
Neither is there any provision in the pres
ent OPA formula for increasing prices to
compensate for the additional costs that
n'ould be incurred if wages and salaries were
increased at this time.
A sound and equitable solution must be
found in the interests of not only our 400,000
employes, but our 426,000 stockholders,
our 15,214 automobile dealers, who have had
no new cars for over three years, our 10,000
subcontractors and suppliers and their em
ployes, and the more than 10,000,000 poten
tial customers who are anxiously waiting for
new cars and our other products they need so
badly.
WARTIME General Motors did not make
PROFITS big profits during the war.
Although sales and employ
ment doubled, the average yearly net profit
in dollars earned during the war was less
than the average prewar net profit. Divi
dends paid to stockholders averaged less than
those paid before the war.
The war profit limitation policy voluntarily
adopted by General Motors immediately after
Pearl Harbor was so reasonable that the re
sulting profits were accepted in renegotiation
without change by our government for the
years 1942, 1943 and 1944.
During the war, Victory Was Our Business.
EXCESS WAGES
REFUSED
Demands are being
made for higher wages
without any corre
sponding increase in production, on the as
sumption that the additional costs can be
absorbed from profits previously earned or
from uncertain future profits.
General Motors cannot use money saved
up for many years for the purpose of
modernizing and expanding its plants and
providing more good jobs, to pay excess
wages for work not performed. The money
cannot be spent twice.
Neither can excess wages be currently
paid from presumed future excess profits
when a realistic forecast of costs shows there
will be no such excess profits.
Nor can we pay from current income the
increased wages demanded when the present
OPA policy holds prices to substantially
1942 levels especially in view of the fact
that there have been important increases in
wages and operating costs since 1942.
Runaicay inflation must be avoided. If an adjustment in price levels must be made at this time, the
interests of all the people must be fairly considered.
If tcage and salary increases are made, it must.be recognized that they increase costs and such costs
must be adequately reflected in the prices of products produced.
Internal strife and unemployment must be avoided. Only productive tcork and more good jobs tcill
increase our standard of living and satisfy the desires of the American people.
