Hospitul Service
Pldns Allowed By
Laws Of 29 States
New York First To Permit
Operation Of Non-Profit
Plan In 1894

Chicago QLNS).-Non-proft hos
pital service plans, which make it
easier for people with small income
to provide disqualification for them
selves and their families, were made
permissible this year by the legisla-
lures of Kansas, Minnesota, Nebraska
and North Carolina, bringing to 20
the number of states recognizing the
plans as Insurance." the American
Public Welfare Association reports.
Under most of the hospital insur-
ance plans in operation one person,
for approximately 50 a year, may re-
ceive up to three weeks hospitaliza-
tion in any of number of approved
institutions. For about $25 year a
man and his wife and one child are
covered, and for slightly more, a fam
lily Of any size.
The first law which brought nom
profit medical indemnity corporations
under state insurance departments
was enacted in New York, in 1884.
During the next five or six years ac-
tion was taken by the following
states:
Alabama, California, Connecticut,
Georgia, Illinois, Iowa Kentucky,
Louisiana, Maine, Maryland, Massa-
chusetts, Michigan, Mississippi, New
Hampshire, New Jersey, New Mexico,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Rhode Island,
South Carolina, Texas, Vermont, Vir-
ginia and Wisconsin. The District of
Columbia also has the enabling leg
islation.
In several more states the volun-
tary hospital care plans are operat-
ing under the general corporation
laws. Among these states are Colo
RADIO, Delaware and Tennessee.

Urge Housing As
Permanent Asset
Defense Housing Properly
Planned Will Leave No
Blighted Areas

New York City GLNS).-Defense
housing planned to become a perma-
nent and valuable community asset is
recommended by the National Com
mtitee on the Housing Emergency, of
which Mrs. Samuel l. Rosenman is
chairman, in an 11-point program
made public here. The committee
emphasizes that good housing is es-
sential to defense.
If defense housing is properly
planned and built, it will leave no
blighted areas after the emergency
is ended, the committee says. 1t calls
ill-founded the fear that defense
housing must inevitably become a
nationwide problem child" and sug-
gests that the building Of defense liv-
ing quarters provides a means for
overhauling and rejuvenating Ameri-
can cities and checking their obso-
lescence and decay.
Long-Range Studies Asked
Among chief proposals, the COM
mittee recommends that the National
Resources Planning Board undertake
Immediately long-range studies of
typical defense areas to guide sound
use of defense housing in the post
emergency period; that President
Roosevelt direct that an examina-
tion be made into the operation of
all Federal agencies dealing with the
provision, planning or financing OF
housing leading to whatever action
may be necessary to bring about
more effective collaboration and CO.
operation. The committee also points
to the probable need for rent control

HARMED A. F. OF L.
Interpreted Labor Relations
Act Hostile To The
Federation

Chicago, Ill.-The Executive Coun-
Gil Of the American Federation of La
Dor, at its midsummer session here,
expressed confidence that President
Roosevelt will refuse to re-appoint
Edwin S. Smith as a member of the
National Labor Relations Board when
his term expires August 27.
The Executive Council reviewed
Mr.. Smiths record and found him
unfit to remain in office" The
statement added
"The record shows that Mr.. Smith
has been largely responsible for the
bias, unfairness and prejudice which
until recently characterized many Of
the Labor Boards decisions and per-
meated its administrative setup.
From the beginning of his serv-
ice, Mr.. Smith espoused interpreta-
tions Of the National Labor Rela-
tions Law which were entirely foreign
to letter and spirit Of the Act and
which were distinctly hostile to the
American Federation Of Labor In
stead Of acting as an impartial ad-
ministrator Of the law, he became an
active crusader for the CIO. He ex-
ercised a powerful influence over two
former members Of the Labor Board
and over its staff. He was and still
is the handspring of the Communis-
tic group which almost succeeded in
making a mockery of the law which
was conceived as lahor's magma
charta.
'In 1887 the American Federation
of Labor began campaign for a
complete housekeeping of the Labor
Board. To date this drive has re-
suited in constructive cIanges bene-
fetal to labor and the nation. Two
new members-Wiliam Leiserson and
Walter Millis-were named by Presi-
dent Roosevelt to succeed Donald
Wakefield Smith and former Chair
man G.. Warren Madden when the
terms Of the latter expired. Chair
man Mills and DR.. Leiserson inaugu-
rated a new era in Labor Board his
tory. They promptly changed unfair
regulations, reversed unjust decisions
and started to purge the Labor
Boards staff of Communists and fell
low travellers.

essary changes and is still carrying

AFL President Contacts All
Members Of Congress
By Letter
LABOR ENDANGERED
Proposed Legislation Would
Give Unscrupulous Too
Much Power

Washington, D. C. QLNS).-Vigor-
Gus opposition to the conference re-
port on the bill amending the Selec-
tive Service Act was expressed by
President William Green of the Amer
lean Federation of Labor in letter
to all members of Congress.
Green's letter summed up the A. F.
of l.. reasons for opposing this legis-
latioD in it's present form as follows:
"First, the Conference Committees
report strikes at the very vital and
fundamental American principle of
private ownership. The right to own
and manage property is funda-
mental American right. Said right
should not be interfered with or i'm
paired, except in case of war when
the very life of the nation may be
hanging in the balance.
"Secondly, the Conference Com
mittee's report, if adopted, would i'm
pose a condition of involuntary servi-
tude upon labor. Such legislation
would be in direct contradiction to
Article Thirteen of the Constitution
of the United States, which provides
that Neither slavery nor involuntary
servitude, except as punishment for
crime whereof the party shall have
been duly convicted, shall exist with
in the United States, or any place
subject to their jurisdiction. Con-
gress shall have power to enforce this
article with appropriate legislation
"Unscrupulous employers would be
encouraged under the provisions Of
the Conference Committees report, if
adopted by Congress, to exploit labor
to the limit. They would take advan-
tage of the threat of Congress to seize
industry, to compel labor to work un-
der oppressive conditions and to i'm
pose arbitrary conditions of employ
ment. We vigorously protest against
the creation of such a situation.
81 assert with all the power at my
command that labor is giving to the
nation the highest type of service,
and in doing Sc, is inspired by spirit
of loyalty and devotion to our Gov
ernment and to it's announced poll
cies.
defense production in practically
every line of activity is ahead of
schedule. The fine degree Of co-opera-
tion which is in evidence on every
hand ought to be encouraged, rather
than discouraged through the enact
ment of repressive legislation, such as

Homes For 725,000
In USHA Protects
Opened This Year
Slura Dwellings Elimination
Proceeds Satisfactorily.
States N. Strauss

Washington, D. C. ILNS).-Homes
for approximately 125,O00 people
were opened for occupancy in United
States Housing Authority projects, in
cluding those for defense workers,
during the first half of 1941, Nathan
Straus, USHA Administrator, an
nounced here.
Out of a total of 35,56S homes
opened for occupancy 23,S75 were in
regular low-rent slum clearance prof.
ectS, 4,020 were in defense projects
financed with USHA funds, and 1878
were in defense projects assigned to
USHA by Federal Works Administra-
tor John NJ. Carmody under the Lam
ham Act This does not include
homes opened for occupancy in de-
fense projects built by the Army and
Navy and financed with USHA funds.
In the same period, Administrator
Straus said 103 projects of all types
were placed under construction. These
projects will contain 28,SSS homes,
and the estimated development cost
of these projects is Sl23,381 600.
Three defense projects financed
with USHA loans were also placed
under construction during the period.
These projects contain 1924 homes
and will cost an estimated $5,502.O0O.
These, like other defense projects
financed by USHA itself, will become
part of the regular housing pro-
gram for low-income families when
the present emergency is over.
The elimination of slum dwellings,
Straus said, proceeded satisfactorily
during the period with 1878 such
dwellings eliminated. There is no
slum clearance involved in connection
with Lanham Act projects, he point
ed out, and because of acute shortages
in cities in which USHA defense prof.
ects are being built, slum clearance
in these localities is being deferred
until the emergency has passed.

System, Washington.
Miss Johnson was a guest speaker
on the 3G5th broadcast of the Labor

the last seven years by Albert N.
Dennis. The program began the
eighth consecutive year of the pro-
gram, on which many distinguished
speakers have been heard.
ILO Work Continued
Answering the questions. heard fre-
quently since the outbreak Of the war,
"Where is the ILO?";; what is it do
ing?" "Does it still exist?' Miss
Johnson said:
"To this the answer is that, the In
ternational Labor Organization, which
was founded through the efforts of
Samuel Gompers and other labor lead
ers and liberal statesmen of the free
countries of the world, is very def
nitely alive. The international Labor
Office, which is the permanent secre-
tariat for the Organization, is going
on with it's research and publications.
The International Labor Conference,
or parliament of nations that are
members of the lilo, will probably
meet in the United States during the
present year.

comprise most Of the Americas

Aided By Decision

Washington, D. C.-The National
Defense Mediation Board made public
recommendation that the Western
Cartridge Company of East Alton,
ILL.,, require continued membership IN
the Chemical Workers Union of the
A. F. l.. as a condition of employment
for $50 workers in it's smokeless pow
der division.
The recommendation for "a mainte-
nance of membership" clause in the
Western Cartridge Company case was
by unanimous vote of panel con-
sisting of Charles E. Wyzanski, Jr.,
representing the public; Roger D.
Lapham, representing employers, and
Edward j. Brown, representing en-
ployes. Mr.. Lapham said in a sepa-
rate statement that he believed that
"unless parties voluntarily agree to
such clause, the board ought ordi-
narily not to recommend it."
In the Western Cartridge case,
classed as one of the most difficult to
come before the board, the panel made
it plain in it's recommendation that
tHt uIlOI ICSClNC a SSuAASy
clause was predicated on the COM
pany's attitude during the negotia-
tions before the board.
"In the hearings before this board
the company showed what at best
must be described as a complete un-
familiarity with the realities of collec-
tive bargaining" the board panel
said. EITHER by accident or by de.
sign, the management resorted tc
practices which undermined the con-
fidence of others sitting at the same
table with them.
"If the management's tactics were
not deliberately dilatory they at any
rate gave that impression. A work
man might reasonably conclude thai
the companies did not want and were
going to try to eliminate this union:

Back in Princess Hildur's castle
there was celebration because the

Hildur jumped up, lit a candle,

CHAPTER XIV.
There was great excitement at
the castle when Carl returned. He
galloped his horse into the court
yard and swung down from the
saddle. He took the witch from
his pocket and handed her to the
King, who shouted "Hurrah."
The King stood the little witch
up on his hand, but she didn't say
anything. She just hung her head.
He said to her, How would you like
to take care of the clocks here? Do
you think you could do it?"
oh, yes, indeed" she said. And
that's what she's doing to this day,
for all know.
Carl had chuckled at the con-
versation, but suddenly he became
very solemn and quiet. He had
seen the Princess Hildur standing
behind her father. She wore a
pretty blue velvet robe bordered
with dark brown fur. She, too, was
silent and she looked at Carl
Before either of them could say
anything the King put his arm about
Carls shoulders and took him into
the throneroom. There the King
made a fine speech and gave Carl
q blue leather purse filled with gold
pieces.
Carl looked all about him, but
he didn't see the girl in the blue
dress. Finally he said he must re-
turn home.
He took Santa with him and for
hours he didn't say word. Santa
wondered. Then Carl said, Il live
with kind King Harald and until
today I was happy. Now I want
to live here But that will make
King Harald, at home, unhappy.
What shall I do?"
Son, each day brings its own
work. Just wait" said Santa.
Carl suddenly swung around in
his saddle aand looked at his COM
panion. He said, Sire, you are
not an ordinary man. I would
never have caught the witch with
out your help. Tell me what to do"
Santa's pink face beamed. oh"
he said, I'm a toy-maker."
Carl quickly pulled out the purse
of gold coins which the king had
given him. Here" he said, you
deserve this. Sometimes toy makers
are much loved but they don't make
a very good living"
Santa had a smile and took the
purse. He certainly din't need it.
But he was glad to see Carl was
generous. Santa said, Carl, you
are going back home, and I shall
stop at the next village"
They parted at the tavern. Carl
headed his horse home, and Santa
sat in the tavern till nightfall when
he slipped out into the garden and

When Italy Joined Germany in

time with France. The fighting did
not amount to much because France
WAS just about ready to give up to
Germany.
Against Great Britain, on the

center of the contest was to be the

In q hurry. But, as North pointed
out, three no-trump could not

gone to the comparative safety
of four hearts or should he have
taken a chance and passed three

First, a reply to the comment
about fights. We're sorry if our
comments make it appear that
bridge fights are very common.
We think most players have a very
good time at the game and never
venture any but good-natured criti-
cism. And we've seen a lot of very
loud games in which all the fierce
invective was just part of the fun.
AZ far as we can see there's no
harm in either type of game-it's
Just q matter of personal taste.
As for the hand, we think South
should have passed three no-trump
doubled. His hand was good for
seven tricks and game would be
made II North could contribute two
more. If North had a wide-open
suit he would have run" to four
hearts after the double; his pass
indicated that the no-trump con-
tract was not just a wild stab.
