Mc.au" Any Girl Can Now Dress Well On $1,000 a Year Sans Furs formula of building upon hard work and conservative practices encounters today's bureaucratic regulation is particularly well Illustrated In an instance involving a small Michigan industrial plant. Two brothers five years ago began this Industrial corporation in a small way. They limited their salaries to modest amounts and put their profits back into the company for expansion and Improvements. "In those five years this company has increased its employment to 24 times the original roster; it has acquired a new plant eight times the size of the original one; its assets have quadrupled; its gross sales are more than six times greater. "The brothers depleted their personal savings accounts in starting the business.

They say their salaries are out of proportion to company earnings and to their complete responsibility as owner-operators. "This spring, with the company on a stable, profitable basis, the brothers decided to increase their salaries to a point commensurate with their multiple duties. Promptly they discovered that they are barred from doing so under the wage-salary freeze. "They felt that the could obtain the rewards for their initiative, enterprise and industry by presenting the problem to the salary stabilization board for fair consideration on the merits of the question, but they were not familiar with the procedure required. "In June.

I was requested to advise them. Inquiry to the salary stabilization board brought the information that they needed only to request of the board a ruling authorizing a specific increase in their salaries, basing the request upon a factual statement detailing the equities of the situation. A spokesman for the board expressed the opinion that on the basis of the situation as it was outlined to him there should be no difficulty in obtaining a prompt And favorable decision. "The brothers promptly supplied the salary stabilization board with a history of their operations, their duties and responsibilities and their salaries. On July 31, however, I learned that no response had been received from the salary stabilization board on the application.

"From July 31 to August 9, my staff sought an explanation from the board. Finally, the information was supplied that the spokesman who had answered the original inquiry had been too optimistic, and was no longer in that division. The second spokesman that nothing could be done about the application because the salary stabilization board still was acting under wage stabilization regulations and had no regulation which would provide the necessary yardstick by which to judge salary adjustments for ownerexecutives. "He added that there may be a provision later on for the processing of such applications, but could not indicate when It may be, and asserted that the salary stabilization organization must first acquire additional staff to analyze and pass on such cases. "I then sought to learn from Mr.

Joseph D. Cooper, executive director of the salary stabilization board, when the necessary regulation for the judging of this type of salary adjustment may be established. Despite daily attempts, it was not until Aug. 18 that my staff was able to make contact by telephone with Mr. Cooper.

His explanation was that the board is concentrating first upon regulations which will affect persons considered to be most In need of salary adjustments, that some interim criteria had been established, but that none had been set up to cover owner-executives "because we consider they probably are already pretty well taken care "Because the salary stabilization officials appeared to be viewing my inquiry primarily as involving only the specific case of the two brothers, a letter was dispatched io Mr. Cooper on Aug. 20, explaining that my major concern involved the lack of a standard by which any case of this nature could be judged. "Under date of Aug. 30, Mr.

Cooper replied as follows: The problem which this petition poses is one of many on which the salary stabilization board is endeavoring to formulate a policy at the earliest possible moment, cannot give you a definite date at this time as to when the formulation of this policy will permit us to rule (on this case), but you may be assured that the matter is receiving our earnest consideration and that a ruling will be forthcoming as soon as the necessary policy has been "Salaries have been frozen by executive order since Jan. 25. 1951. Seven months later, the only answer available to at least one class of Individuals caught In this freeze is that it still is not possible to say when a policy may be available for consideration of any inequities. "It seems hardly credible that the excuse could be a lack of government personnel for the establishment and execution of policy.

The Aug. 30 report of the joint committee on reduction of nonessential federal expenditures shows that the civilian payroll in the executive branch of the government for the fiscal year ended June 30, 1951. was 17,719,078,000, an increase of 17 percent over the preceding fiscal year: It further shows an increase in total civilian government employment of 17,198 during July, bringing the total figure to 2.500,889 and indicating a 1952 payroll which will approach or exceed 10 billion dollars. This report further cites the economic stabilization agency, of which salary stabilization is a part, as one of those in which the principal employment increases have occurred." To Tell Tale Of '52 Trend By DOUGLAS GRAHAM Next Tuesday's Detroit primary election will be closely watched by Michigan politicians for clews to voting trends. The municipal balloting will be non-partisan thus, affording little fodder for Republicans or Democrats.

Both sides, however, ai certain to eye results carefully for any sign of shifting labor sentiment The mayoralty race takes top Interest with principal candidates Albert E. Cobo and Edgar M. Brannigan. Cobo is the incumbent and favorite to lead the crowded field. The top two candidates to survive the mayorship primary will battle it out in tho November finals.

LEgg F4J ARE Thus far, the campaign for the mayoralty nomination in the nation's motor capital has been conducted with less of the fanfare in previous years. Election officials now anticipate that no more than 200,000 citizens will take time to vote. That would be about one-fourth Detroit's normal turnout. Although parties do not figure in the municipal election, Cobo is regarded as a Republican while Brannigan rates as a Democrat. Their chief difference, however, is that Brannigan has the pledged support of both C.

O. and A. P. of L. union forces while Cobo does not The United C.

I. P. of L. backing of Brannigan is something of a departure from the situation two years ago when the two big union blocs Eplit over tup-port of George Edwards. Cobo had the backing of the A.

P. of L. and won while the C. O. lost with its man Edwards.

Labor so far has followed a different strategic pattern in the mayoralty campaign this year. In previous battles, the C. O. prin- cipally has gone all-out to place its favorite at the top in the primary results. TACTIC BACKFIRES This tactic backfired badly when the C.

I. O. beat ex-Mayor Ed Jewries with Frank Fitzgerald in one recent primary. This upset so aroused Jeffries' supporters that they rallied forces and came back to win the November runoff. In the current campaign, however, labor forces are playing it more coyly, saving their strength for the November finals.

While the Issues will be localized, the strength, of labor voting will be watched carefully. The Detroit municipal elections rep- -resent the first major-scale voting in advance of the all-important 1952 presidential balloting. As such, the results will be significant indicators of metropolitan voting trends and of interest out-state. Putterville Folks By E. R.

Members of the band will bring their instruments but not their uniforms. Practice twiil be held in the old Gleaner halL Orrie Putter, who lives very close to the hall, has asked that Oump keep all the windows closed, and stuff rags or paper in the holes where the glass has been broken out.

Orrie claims he always has nightmare after 'band practice in the Gleaner hall. Truesdale Putter has taken a job in Banker Tighter's stave mill. Truesdale aims to make money enough, his wife says, to pay ail bills at the Hub store. And she does hope, she says, that Truesdale will work a few weeks after the bill is paid. Mrs.

Putter would like a pair of shoes and cotton house dress. She says she doesn't care anything about a new hat, as the hat she has worn for the past 10 years will last another decade unless she is caught with it In a bad hail storm. Now that Mr. Truman Putter has got the wood all chopped and sawed up, Truman's back is so much better that he is able to get to the Hub store. Today, he was able to get to the depot to see No.

All His Eggs In '52 Basket By JACK I. GREEN (Associated Press Writer) Gov. Williams' chest apparently went out a little too far recently when he boasted of Michigan government's $1000,000,000 construe tlon program, but he did call at tention to the state's largest building venture in history. Williams told the Michigan MU- nlcipal league and repeated else where the state was building $100,000,000 worth of buildings, counting only those over $100,000. He said the estimate probably was modest.

Dr. Robert P. Steadman, state controller and Williams' book keener, put the figure at $88, 501.228. Williams apparently poured a' lot of water into his arguments in an attempt to prove that he ha1 gotten his own way. Some years ago he backed a proposal for a $100,000,000 mental hospital construction program stretched over 10 years.

He was derided and called a waster. Now he savs: "Look! In spite of all opposition and with the help of some broadminded Republicans I have gotten the $100 000,000 program thab I asked fo. HE COUNTS IT Talking real fast so that folks won't notice the omissions. Williams then counts money for colleges, state police quarters, tuberculosis hospitals, and local general hospitals and state office buildings in his $100,000,000 total. He also kind of acts as though nobody ever thought of constructing more state buildings before he got in office.

This ignores, among other things, the fact that former Gov. Harry P. Kelly nearly broke his own neck and that of the legislature getting a massive construction program started after the war. Still, the present program is a whopper if it can be completed. Steadman reported that of the 87 projects Included, construction work has started on 39.

Contracts have been awarded on five others. Architects' drawings are being orepared in 35 projects. Of the prolects. 53 or $41,866,149 are for mental hospitals. 19 projects or $29,379,084 are for colleges, three projects covering $8,711,000 are for state office buildings, six involving $4,691,496 are for public health and tuberculosis projects.

The legislature. Steadman tabulated, has provided $61,342,228 for 59 projects. On 28 projects totaling $25,159,000 onlv planning money has been provided. Steadman said $53,183,000 of the total must come from ttie general fund. $31511,000 from the hospital construction bond issue and $2,106,470 from local and federal funds.

HE'S FALLEN SHORT Even if he counts the rewiring of minor buildings. Williams seemingly has fallen far short of the $100,000,000 program of which he boasts. Much of the actual program js being financed from the bond issue which the Republican legislature conceived as a method of meeting part of the mental hospital needs to which Williams called attention in 1949 and which the legislature hated to meet on a pay-as-you-go basis. Part of it includes the $3,000,000 local tuberculosis hosDital grab-bag scheme which Williams privately has opposed. And some of it includes the lc cal general hospital building pro- gram to which the state contributes no money at all, other than to pay the cost of processing their applications for federal aid.

Women Rapped For Ideas on Young Babies By WILLIAM BRADY, M. D. Damn the Women! When Lala Rookh was born, in Penn Yan, at the foot of Keu-ka, gem of the famous Finger Lakes, where the great Birkett Mills produce prize buckwheat flour, we had the best doctor in Yates county, naturally. Also naturally, or at any rate of course, the baby was born where her mother, a graduate nurse, and her father, a one-horse-and-buggy doctor, felt it would be safer for all hands at home. But, even though we didn't know where next month's rent or oats for Topsy the beautiful sorrel were coming from, we splurged to the extent of having a graduate nurse or a trained nurse, as they were called then, long before registered nurses appeared In that neck of the woods a doodad which, to the best of my recollection, no patient of mine engaged for mere childbirth.

Well, we got along just fine, although I must have been in a state after delevlry. for, as the. nurse later declared, I had instructed her to give the baby an enormous dose of paregoric if she cried too much. If I really gave such instruction and the nurse had carried out the order oh, well, the baby survived. In Penn Yan at the time there was a doctor by the name of Dou- bleday, and he was pretty good too, I thought.

(Just between ourselves he was probably the best doctor in the county). When the baby was about 48 hours old the excitement began. Lactation set in. At this Juncture the patient's sister another graduate nurse arrived, and oops! Sister disregarded professional courtesy and attempted to take charge. The nurse in charge objected.

The nurse trying to feed her baby had a sudden elevation ot temperature. Her sister demanded that a great specialist from Buffalo be summoned. Her husband said uh-uh. For a while there was a difficult situation. But presently I had a happy thought I called Dr.

Doubleday. He sized up the situation shrewdly enough. Then we retired to consult a bit "Brady." the good man said, as he patted me on the back to reassure me, "damn the women!" In a few hours all was well. I am reminded of all this by this query from a young woman: "I am 31 years old and plan to get married, but something Is worrying me. Would I have a lot of trouble if I have children? "Two women have told me after you pass 30 it is very hard to go through childbirth.

They have me really scared now. I certainly would like to have children. I will appreciate any advice you may give me." In the booklet "Preparing for Maternity" (for copy send 25c and stamped, self-addressed envelope) you will find a chapter titled "Her' First at Forty." in the course of which I make the following observation: "If the, woman around 40 can and does roll somersaults and all that sort of foolishness she can face her first or last childbirth with cheerful assurance." I mean that as seriously as anything I can say to this young woman or any other who is cursed with fishwife intimates. a a QUESTIONS ANSWERS Treatment Was Painless Upon your recommendation I sought ambulant treatment for piles, with which I had suffered for several years.
