Every time I see a "cover girl” I
wonder how they can be called
“cover girls” when so much of
them isn't.
Understand Russia won't enter the
Olympic swimming events unless
the Australian crawl or overhand
stroke is banned. They want to
substitute the Communist crawl—
sort of an underhanded stroke.
At the Chicago gift show I saw a
new type of lighter. It has no wick
—no flint—in fact, it doesn’t light
. . . made especially for people
who don’t smoke.
You can forget the 18-day diet,
the 10-dav diet and even the 6-day
diet if you follow the four-word
diet. Just say, “No more, thank
you!”
Suggested slogan for a dentist:
"You can trust your teeth in my
hands . . . after all I trust my
hands in your teeth!”

by scalped hillside visible above roofs of a few old Detroit houses. Entire reservoir bottom
has been cleared for flooding except for a few trees growing inside the town itself.

The wholesale price index turned
downward early this year and
American women looked forward to
lower prices. I began to hope—
many of you did, too—that inflation
was about ever and that our bud
gets would con.e back within rea
son.
My optimism has vanished be
cause the government's action in the
steel controversy means more infla
tion. We women must try to do
something about it.
Here is what happened: The steel
industry offered to forego a price
increase to which it is entitled, if
the CIO steelworkers would pass up
a wage increese. The steel com
panies reasoned that a wage in
crease, plus a price increase, would
result in more inflation.
The union rejected the offer and
fought for higher wages and other
costly benefits. The Wage Stabili
sation Board recommended the
greatest pay rise in the industry's
history, the companies refused to
grant it, noping to reach a less in
flationary settlement — a smaller
wage increase and a small price
increase.
When negotiations failed, the
President e.zed the industry. If the
full wage increase is granted and
the steel companies do not get a
compensating price increase, the ad
ditional wages will be paid mostly
out of the billion dollars the com
panies would otherwise turn over to
the government as taxes.
This will set a pattern for all in
dustry. And the government will get
more taxes from us while prices
rise. Or, the Treasury will print
more money, which means that the
dollar, now worth 53 cents, w ill be
worth even less. When this happens,
all of us—including the steelwork
ers and their wives —will suffer
from inflation
I believe it is time to stop infla
tion. I'm going to tell my Congress
man and Senator to take positive
action to undo this latest muddle. I
am going to tell them that I obiect
to the government's tampering with
our economy. And, if you are con
cerned about prices, make your ob
jections clear to your legislators.
If we women of America assert
ourselves, we may put an end to in
flation and egain have reason for
optimism about the cost of living.
