Government regulation needed to insure Detroit steady supply of milk, Monopoly Committee told. Washington, D.C., May 2. Kenneth L. Vardon, President of the United Dairy Workers Union of Detroit, today told the Temporary National Economic Committee that some form of government regulation must be imposed to insure Detroit a steady supply of milk at a just price to the consumer, the distributor, and the farmer. He charged that the practices of George A. Johnson, independent dealer, serving six per cent of the city, were such that they 'are seriously endangering the supply of fluid milk for Detroit.' Vardon said that Johnson shops with various farmers to get the lowest possible prices but refuses to pay prevailing wage standards

President of Socony-Vacuum Co. attacks bill to separate production, refining, and transportation of oil products. Washington, D.C., June 21. John A. Brown, President [...] Socony-Vacuum Co. Inc., told a House Judiciary subcommittee today that a bill by Rep. Vincent [...] to 'divorce' production, refining, and transportation of petroleum products from the marketing of them was 'senseless.' The bill aimed at possible monopolies resulting from all units of distribution of petroleum products by one company. 'From the standpoint of the consumer and retailer, this proposal is a harmful and uneconomic infringement on the freedom of buying,' he said

Hitler's helpmates. Mabel Wattwaster is helping to win the war--but she's working for the wrong side. As she drones gossip into the telephone, her toast burns merrily away. She is not only wasting food and power, but is also impairing the efficiency of her toaster by letting it overheat. Mabel knows that much household equipment like toasters will be irreplacable for the duration. She also believes in the consumer's victory pledge ("I will take good care of the things I have . . ."), but still there are times Hitler is counting on her to lower America's civilian resources, and ultimately to weaken America's morals
