HILLMAN-LEWIS
BREAK HINTED

The following is reprinted from

Workers Age:

man are not speaking these days
unless it is absolutely necessary.
Hillman was in Washington for a
few days and did not go near
Lewis. He made it quite clear to
friends that he strongly resents the
way that Lewis has handled the
CIO. Not only does he differ with
Lewis on the question of the New
Deal but he also objects strenuously
to Lewis's procedure and methods.
This latter point is probably more
significant for the future of the
CIO than the present conflict be-
tween Lewis and Hillman on the
1910 Presidential campaign. There
fore, although Potofsky may be
right when he says that the Anal
gamated is not breaking with the
ClO when it refuses to help form a
New York CIO council, effectively
all these developments add up to
division in CIO ranks which is
deeper than any that has existed
up to date.

Rubber Workers
Choose A.F.ofL.
United States Rubber Com
pdnY Employees Vote For
AL In Providence

Providence, R. l. That rubber
workers want to be represented by the
American Federation Of Labor was
demonstrated again in the election
just held in the Providence, Rhode
Island, plants Of the United States
Rubber Company in which the Amer
lean Federation Of Labor received an
overwhelming majority vote for ex-
elusive representation.
The A. F. of l.. Rubber Workers
Union No. 22014 received 1920 votes
out of 1898 valid votes cast in the
election covering two of the largest
New England rubber plants. This
election has been looked upon as a
test of the sentiment among rubber
workers in the New England area.
Organization of rubber workers in
New England by the American Fed
Grafton of Labor extends over a pc
riod of nearly eight years. The or
ganizing campaign of 1933-35 con-
Quoted by the American Federation
of Labor in all parts of the country
brought the major portion of wage
earners in the rubber industry within
the union ranks and resulted in the
largest single increase in wages ever
gained by the rubber workers before
or since that time.
"The L. S. Rubber vote in two ma
jor plants of the company employing
$4,000 workers signalizes the full
measure of recognition by the rubber
workers of the effectiveness of Amer
ican Federation of Labor leadership"
John J. Murphy, New England Rep
resentative of the American Fedora
tion of Labor declared. Rubber
workers throughout New England
have studied the record and have
compared real gains made by the AM
erican Federation Of Labor against
the empty promises of the CIO and
have given an unqualified vote of con-
idence to the active, effective and
militant leadership of the American
Federation of Labor"

ployment at least half the time after
1886 (or age 21 if that is later). If
he had been currently insured in
dividual'', Mrs. Brown and her child
rem could have received the same bene
fits until the youngest child became
19, but she could not have resumed
collecting benefits when she became
65. A currently insured individual is,
roughly, one with six quarters of cov
erage during the three years immedi-
ately preceding his death. A quarter
of coverage is quarter year (end
ing March 81, June 30, September 80,
and December 81 during which the
individual received wages Of $50 or
more for services in covered employ
ment.
That explains what happens in the
case Of the Brown family. Here are
a few additional facts to round out
the picture and show what protection
they would have had under different
circumstances.
First, had John Brown lived he
would have been fully insured when
he had 40 quarters Of coverage"-
roughly ten years-even though he
had never worked in a covered job
again. He would have received month
ly benefits after age G5 when he stop
ped work, and when his wife reached
65 she would also get benefits-half
as much as her husband would get.
Second, to go back to the original
story, suppose that after the children
were grown and their benefits stopped,
Mrs. Brown had gotten job in store
or some other business covered by the
insurance system. In that case dur
ing the % years before she reached
65, she would have earned benefit
credits in her own right. If so she
would get whichever was larger-her
own benefit or her benefit Of 1881 as
a widow. That is, if her own wage
record would give her only SIS she
would get the widows benefit Of
$19.31; but if as wage-earner, she
was entitled to S22, she would get that
larger amount.

CHOOSING TOYS
FLORENCE MILNER

Have you ever bought a toy for a
child, and felt especially pleased with
your purchase, only to find it soon
thrown aside in favor of something
which seemed to you far less inter-
esting? Before shopping for birth
day or any other special occasion, it
may be we'll to consider why certain
toys go into the discard so readily.
The most interesting games of child
hood are those which initiate adult life.
Children see that life as active, doing
something, getting results. The toys
that will help them to similar enjoy
ment are those through which some
thing may be achieved in their play
world. This demands toys that can
be manipulated, those that have pos
sibilities of progressive activity. The
child will quickly weary of a little
iron cart lacking the capacity for be-
ing loaded, even red one, since it Of
fers nothing but to be dragged along
at the end of string, with no OBJ
jective. The same is true of a doll
with clothes that cannot be taken off
and put on again. The interest in a
jumping jack that knows only one
trick, or a jack-in-the-box that looks
the same every time he pops up, soon
pals. All such lifeless toys will soon
go into the discard.
The child demands uses for his i'm
agination. No matter how simple or
how crude, toys that have possibilities
of activity will win out against all one
trick ones. For this reason blocks are
early favorites whether deliberately
decorated store ones or those picked
up from the floor of a carpenters
shop. Stately mansions, bridges,
lofty towers can be built with these,
or they can be piled Enthusiastically just
for the fun of tumbling them down.
A wagon with fitting device for
dumping load, just as the ones on
the street do, is far better than just
a cart. A doll with a change of clothes,
like those of real child or grown
up, will soon become favorite. One
reason why girls like paper dolls so
well is that there is no end to the
number Of lovely dresses that can be
made for them from the bright color
ed paper so abundant now. Besides,
pleasing results, are quickly obtained
and patience is not overstrained, be-
fore the completion of an entire cos
tune. There is also much food for
thought in the familiar joke about the
father who buys locomotive with
track, cars, and so forth, for Johnny
and then scarcely allows the boy to do
anything the following holiday but
watch Father play with his train.
If child shows some especial in
terest, little care will find toys that
have possibilities for advancing that
interest. The child's imagination will
furnish the motive power. So, before
starting out on shopping tour for
toys, study your child's collection. You
doubtless will find that those which
offer the possibility of doing some
thing with a definite purpose, or
something in the line Of one of your
child's especial interests, will show
the most wear and hence are the fav-
orites.
1t is important to give as much
thought to the selection of toy as is
generally conceded should be given to
the purchase of a book.

District Court BUILDING

1nadequacy of the present District
Court Building for the constantly
growing judicial, prosecuting and
other activities which center there
has long been evident to those who
have regular or occasional business
to transact in the outmoded Struc-
ture The CourtroomS, anteroomS
and offices are too few and too small
for the number and Importance
Of the cases which are tried there.
The district attorneys offices and
adjacent grand jury rooms are badly
congested, poorly arranged and ILL
equipped. Lighting, elevator and
sanitary facilities are in need of i'm
provement These and other short
comings of the building impelled the
District Court judges some months
ago to declare in a formal resolution
that such conditions seriously i'm
pair the efficient administration of
Justice" and to urge that steps be
taken to procure new courthouse
as soon as possible"
This resolution now has been pre-
Sented to the Senior Circuit Judicial
Conference, with plea for support
of the senior Federal judges in the
movement for a new home for the
District Court The director of the
Administrative Office of the United
States Courts already has Endorsed
the proposal. Congressional action
is not likely in the near future, as
the plans for the new building or
group of buildings are yet in the
formative stage. One suggestion is
for erection of a new courthouse on
the site of the old Pension Building
in Judiciary Square, now occupied by
the General Accounting Office. A
new home for the General Account
ing Office is planned at Fifth and G
streets, nearby. A second proposal,
advanced by the Oliver Wendell
Holmes Memorial Fund Committee,
is that new District Court facilities
be provided on a site Immediately
east of the Supreme Court Building.
The questions of site, design and cost
must be worked out later by the
proper authorities. Meanwhile, the
senior circuit judges can aid the
cause by placing the weight of their
opinion behind the building program.
They need only to pay visit to the
present headquarters to be con-
WINGED of the urgency of the situa-
ton.

priation of $3,200,O00 was made for
a new farm, but there was no pro-
vision for new site for the park
shops and other facilities, now in
undesirable locations. In addition,
the bill, as amended and as passed
Monday by the House, provides that
the Agriculture Department may use
that part of the farm not wanted by
the War Department to continue its
experimental work, something Agri-
culture had not asked for.
For years the unsightly park work.
shops and greenhouses have been a
discordant note in the harmony of
WaShington'S park system. Thes'
should be moved to a more suitable
locale. Moreover, the park Office
stands in need of expanded facilities
for its work and Washington needs
materially larger tourist camp.
The original Senate bill would have
paved the way for these needed i'm
provements. The conferees would do
well to give careful thought to this
phase of the legislation.

Scores Use of Relief
Funds for Armament.

To the Editor of The Star:
On the Forum Of the Air program Of
Sunday evening last, Senator H. Styles
Bridges was, for some unknown reason,
rendered burnt" offering on the altar
of the New Deal.
Apparently, as the result of misinfor-
nation given him from some source,
Senator Bridges had on a former occa-
sion enormously charged that the New
Deal had not acquired any battleships,
planes. tanks, or other implements Of
war. Secretary Ickes truthfully and &C
crately pointed out that the admins
tration had, in fact, procured consider
able war equipment through the use Of
funds appropriated for relief and work
relief.
Possibly the New Deal heat from such
formidable batteries was too much FOR
the Senator from New Hampshire; but
he should have rejoined by conceding,
at least for the sake of the forum dis
cussion, that his earlier statement was
erroneous. Then, he should have pointed
out that the use of relief funds for the
acquisition of armament was regarded by
Congress as . misapplication of appro-
priated funds, In the absence Of any rep

Cunodu's War Effort

A short time ago the Canadian
press invited group of distinguished
United States newspaper CORE
spondents and military experts to
inspect at first hand the war effort
now being made by the Canadian
government. The tour, just finished,
included munitions plants, air fields,
infantry and artillery posts, Ger
man prisoners camp and naval bases.
Press conferences were held with
defense ministers, who freely an
swered all questions put to them by
the American newspapermen.
Each of the American correspond
entS and military experts will report
his own findings and impressions.
The Star is fortunate in having Mr..
Hal OFaherty, managing editor OF
the Chicago Daily News, contribute
a series of articles on conditions as
he found them. But the outstanding
impression shared by the visitors was
the earnestness and confidence and
united spirit with which the whole
of Canada has risen to its task. This
is manifest especially in the way new
recruits are swapping into their train
ing and in the enthusiasm of the new
officers of Canada's army. In short,
Canada is preparing not merely for
defense of her own territory, but for
an about offensive against the COM
mon foe of every part of the British
Empire.
The British Commonwealth Air
Training Plan is being developed on
a tremendous scale by Canada, the
United Kingdom, Australia and New
Zealand to assure an inexhaustible
supply of trained airmen to carry on,
for years if need be, the war against
Germany. The whole program Of
producing pilots and aircrew men,
bers for service in the Royal Air
Force will be carried out in Canada.
