Also Attacks Lindbergh and Senator Nye For Their
 Religious Bigotry"

ALBANY, N. Y.-Racia1 discrim- ination in the employment of workers in national defense industries was de- nounced as sabotage by Lieut.. Gov. Charles A. Po1etti. Such d1scrimina- ton is prohibited by law, he warned, and the law must be obeyed."
 NO COMPROMISE
 s'With all this terrific amount of work being done to increase the tempo of our industrial de- fense program" he said, ''with labor and employers mediating so as not to tie up production, there is one compromise that cannot be made, and that is race prejudice with its attendant dis criminations.
 We, the strongest nation in the world, must not allow ourselves to be weakened by the virus of anti Jewish propaganda.
 Another detriment to our national defense effort, which no thinking per con can fail to realize, is the discrim- ination involving the Negro tenth of our popu1ation-Americans who are eager and able to give concrete ex- pression to their patriotism"
 HITS LINDBERCH -4a-@-H He criticized Charles A. Lind bergh and Senator Gerald P. Nye of North Dakota ''and others of their ilk" for s'racial and re- igious attacks'' and said that nothing is more reprehensible than expressions by alleged lead- CTS of American thought of defi- mite bigOtry and discrimination"

SOCIAL SECURITY CHECK.UP

SOOIAL SECURIl4 CHECk.UP
 At this time every man or wom- an who is covered by the Social Security Law should avail them. selves of the opportunity to check up on the amount of money that is credited to them at the Social Security Board office at Baltimore. Md. It is absolutely necessary for men and women to check up inn mediately before it is too late.
 Under the Federal Social Secur- ity Act, if an employe fails to check on the amount of his or her earnings for 1937 by December 3I, l94l, it will be impossible to rec tify any mistakes after that date. The law allows four years to have any mistakes rectifed. Be sure to give this matter serious considera- ton.

 Every business agent should go to the local Social Security Board office at 1044 Chapel Street, New Haven, and obtain an abundant supply of So- cial Security cards that are available there. These cards should be made available to all members of local un- ions to be filled out by them and sent on to the Social Security Board of flee.
 All that is necessary is to print your name, address, Social Security number, date of your birth and sign your name at the bottom of the card.

Credit Union
 Is Proposed
 For Council
All Locals Eligible To Join Under Labor Coop
 Plan

Preliminary steps toward the es- tablishment of a credit union under the auspices of the New Haven Gen. tral Labor Council were made at the last regular Council meeting when the motion of Carl c. Hoff for the appointment of a committee to study the "advisability of starting a C.L.C. credit union" was approved unani- mously by the delegates. Hoff is a delegate from Local 234, A. F. of Musicians.
 AVAILABLE TO ALL
 Such credit union, available for the use of all local unions, would insure lower rates of in- terest on loans, larger and more frequent loans to members, and greater financial stability than the smaller credit unions of To- calls, Hoff pointed out. The large membership of a central labor union would insure greater as- sets with which to work than are available 60 the credit or ganizations of local unions, Hoff explained.
 OTHER GROUPS MAY JOIN
 A Central Labor Council credit un- ion need not interfere, however, with the credit set-ups of local unions, Hoff added. Local credit unions will be free to join or remain independent as they wish, said Hoff.
 One credit union organized under the same circumstances as the sug gested C.L.C. union began with as sets of less than $20 and today has assets of over $3,5OO,OO0, said Hoff.

Tenants Face EviictionWhen They Protest
Committee Finds Some Landlords Use Threat To
 Stop Complaints

The greatest problem facing the six-weeks-Old New Haven Fair-Rent Committee is the serv- ing of eviction notices on ten- ants by a few landlords who are taking advantage of the sum- mary process of the law. Ed niursd R. Cebhardt, chairman of the committee, charges that some landlords are using the eviction notice as threat to keep ten- ants from complaining to the committee on unwarranted rent increases.
 Mir. Cebhardt told THE UNI ION TIMES: ''We know that there are more rents being rais. ed than the number of com plaints we are receiving indi- cates."

2. Insertion of language that the
Commissioners shall approve nom
nations of the Recreation Board on
personnel matters.
Mr.. Camalier said, however, that
his mind is definitely not made up
on the matter and that he expects
TO confer with any persons who
want to discuss the changes with
him.
Fundamentals Called Unchanged.
The committee attorney insisted
that the proposed changes do not
affect the fundamental setup called
for in the House-approved Hunter
bill. Making the Commissioner
member chairman of the board, he
observed, would not give him an eX-
ira vote on the board and it would
be recognition of the fact that the
Commissioners are the duly con-
stituted heads of District govern
| ment.
The approval by the Commission
ers of board nominations, he said,
is simply formally to assure clas-
sification of recreation employees as
District employees, drawing their pay
| through the District disbursing Of
flee and entitled to the retirement
and other privileges of District en-
ployes
BY wording the proposed amend
ment so that the Commissioners
shall" approve the nominations,
not may" approve, Mr.. Camalier
said, he Commissioners would not
have any discretion in approving
board appointments and hence the
independence of the proposed board
would not be infringed upon.
Whether or not the suggested
amendments will be retained pre-
sumably will hinge on Mr.. Cana
lier's conferences with the various
parties to the original bill, but there
were definite rumblings and mis-
givings in some school quarters.
Ballou Seen Opposed.
Supt. Frank w. Ballou, strong
believer in Board of Education con-
troll of the entire setup and a some
what reluctant party TO the Original
bill. will probably have to be wor
over to the proposed changes il
they are definitely decided upon
The Commissioners are understood

Favored by Unit,
Keiser Says
By CAMBRIDGE CRIST.

Hugh v. Keiser comes from Ar
kansas, lives on Arkansas avenue
and is head of the Arkansas Avenue
Community Association.
The association, which he has
served as president since its for
nation three years ago, is the
baby of the Federation of Citizens
Associations, but it is a lusty baby
with already a membership of some
900. And being the only nominee
for president in Thursdays cleo
ton. Mr.. Keiser is pretty safe bet
for being an Office holder this time
next week.
Formed to push through demands
for storm sewers in the area, which
was badly effected during rains, il
has an average attendance at its
meetings of 100, high percentage
for a civic group. The meetings, he
said, include not only business but
entertainment as well.
At present the residents are en-
gagged in an effort to have Wilson
Teachers College moved to the
grounds and buildings of the -olo
tuberculosis hospital, between Thir-
teenth and Fourteenth and Upshul
and Allison streets NV. He point
ed out that location of the teachers
college there would complete quite
an educational center in the area
which already includes Roosevelt
High School, Dennison Vocationa
and the West School.
Express Buses Sought.
Many citizens of the area, which
runs from Sixteenth street to Geor'
gia avenue and Jefferson street t
Spring road, are dissatisfied, he said
because express buses from Takoms
Park and Silver Spring do not stoI
there. Mr.. Keiser said they wanted
at least two or three stops any
how"
Among the accomplishments O.
the group he cited were not only
installation of the storm sewer bu
paving of Arkansas avenue from
Sixteenth to Thirteenth streets, anc
renewal of 80 per cent of the cove
nants.
Mr.. Keiser has a son at the Uni
versity of Pennsylvania who vii
graduate this June and expects Il
be drafted. He also has daughtel
at the Fairfax School for Girl
and two married daughters, one o.
whom lives in Seattle, Wash. HI
hopes to visit her in August, wher
there is a convention of the Knight
of the Round Table of which he /!
an officer.
Holds Many Posts.
He is past president Of the Cen
trail Business Mems Association, the
Washington Self-Help Exchange
which he headed for four years
a vice president of the Georgis
Avenue Business Mems Association
q member of the Executive Com
mittee of the Citizens Federation
a director of the Federation o
Churches, past president Of tn
church council at the Grace Lu
theran Church, past district gov
ernor of the Lions, past presiden
of the National Democratic Leagu
here and a member Of the Distric
Suffrage Association.
Mr.. Keiser said that in his are,
they were trying to tie-in the bust
ness association with the citizens
group. He said that the relation
between the two had always beel
cordial and that there was a Ger
tain amount of interlocking mem
bership.
He pointed out that both group
were faced with similar problems
such as transportation, appearance
of stores and police protection.
Giving everybody job to do, Nj
Keiser explained, is the formula h
prescribed for himself In carryin

not to be opposed to the suggested
changes, although they are not espe-
cially seeking control Of the recrea-
ton establishment. The attitude
of the National Capital Parks Office
is not known.
At present supervised recreation
is Jointly controlled by the Conn
missIoqers and the Board of Educa-
ton. Unsupervised play is under
the park Office officially, but it has
turned over many administrative
duties in this direction TO the rec
reation office for supervised play.
The original bill that passed the
House had the support of the parties
involved and represented the first
time in 10 years the three groups
had been willing to get together on
the matter. There was a little give
and take all around. but all parties
were careful 10 protect their rights
in direct language in the bill with
the right to withdraw from the
board. Also the Recreation Board
would have at its disposal only
those facilities the parties chose to
assign to it.
Citizens Back Original Bill.
This was an obvious weakness in
the measure, since its success de-
pended upon the willingness of the
three groups to work together. Pro-
ponents, however, counted on the
three agencies observing the spirit Of
the law if secure in the right 10
withdraw The fact that the other
four members would be citizens and
thus have the public majority
proved some balm to suspicious in
school quarters that the bill would
impinge upon long and jealousy
guarded independence.
The original measure was support
ed by the Board of Trade and the
Federation of Citizens Associations
as we'll as other civic groups and
grew out of exhaustive hearings
conducted by Representative Hunter,
Democrat, of Ohio.
1t was believed that under a CEN
tralized administration by a recrea-
ton superintendent under an in
dependent board a better program
could be operated. funds would be
more easily obtained for recrea-
ton and the morale of the recrea-
ton personnel would be improved.
Whether the bill ever becomes
law will probably depend upon will
lmgness of the parties and Mr..
Camalier TO iron out differences
over the amendments where they
have arisen or may arise. II the
bill should pass the Senate in
amended form. however, it will have
to go back TO the House for con-
currence, which will also take time.
Meanwhile the present makeshift
arrangement will continue with the
reappointment Of an acting CO.
ordinator every three months until
something permanent is done.
