In 1889 Smith came to Detroit

fluential hackers and began a week
ly radio program over WJR, the city's
largest and most expensive station
He established in the auto city, head
quarters for the Committe of One

The committee has secret mem

active in every state in the country
and which has specialized in dissent
mating anti-New Deal, anti-labor and
appeasement propaganda. In its
"antiwar" Vaccinations, Smiths group
closely co-operated with the nazi-en

ialthough America Firsters denied

Sen. MURRAY
URGES WPA
GATHER SCRAP

| WASHINGTON In view of thu
shortage of scrap necessary for wa
production, Sen. James E. Murray o
Montana is urging the use of WPA
workers and trucks to move SCRAP
metals from farms and other places
in Montana from which junk dealers
cannot easily collect 1t. A project fol
that purpose has been sponsored by
the Montana Preparedness and AID
visory Commission, OF which Gov
Sam c. Ford is chairman. The spon
sor is prepared to make wide public
campaign in conjunction with the
Office of Civilian Defense in every
county of the state, which should re-
suit in the collection of large quanti-
ties of scrap metal.
Junk dealers have explained that
they are unable to collect some of
the heavy abandoned machinery on
farms, because of the labor expense
of moving it to the nearest shipping
point. On the other hand, the WPA,
with it's own trucks and manpower,
is in position to do this work.
Some such plan as this is greatly
needed" said Senator Murray, ito get
hold of the idle scrap that is so vitality
necessary to war production other
places throughout the country. We
all recognize that junk dealers per-
form an essential service in scrap col
lection, but we know that they cannot
do the whole job. Volunteer efforts
are also necessary, and for some parts
Of the job it is advisable to make use
of the facilities and manpower of the
WPA.
1t is regrettable that we have al
ready lost so much time In organizing
the flow of scrap from plants, mines,
stores, shops, garages, back yards and
cellars. We need to make up for that
lost time now, and this is national
service to which the WPA can make
a valuable contribution.
Joseph E. Parker, Montana state
of the WPA, informs
me that the agency has sufficient
trucks in the state so that the work
If scrap collection can be carried on

J0BLESS AUTO
WORKERS STILL
GET RUNAR0UND

KANSAS CITY, Mo.-While govern
ment officials continue their vague
promises Of turning automobile plants
here into war production, the Ford
assembly plant has closed down,
throwing S44 Of its 1,1SS employees out
of work. The Chevrolet plant was
closed 10 days earlier.
The unemployed men still find 1t
hard to get work in the North Amer
lean Aviation bomber plant in Kansas
City, Kan. Workers suspect that
North American is holding back on
employing unionized auto workers in
order to discourage unionization of its
own plant.
They also feel that the motor COM
panies would like to dispense their
working organizations so that veteran
unionists would lose seniority by leav-
ing town or going into other indus
tries. This would weaken AFL and
CLIO unions which now have contracts
when the plants reopen for war pro-
duction.

on income and profits" There will
be at least s6,000,000, 900 more of buy
| ing power in the market and $4,000
100000 less in consumer goods, he ex-
planned.
Sander GEMS of Minneapolis, Anal
gamated Clothing Workers (CIO) Off
cial, won applause from an audience
composed mostly of farmers when he
pointed out the falsity of charges that
union labor is making exorbitant de-
mands in the present crisis.
"Most people mistakenly believe
that all labor gets $40 to $40 a day
Just because a few highly-skilled
workers get that much" Gems said.
"They are unaware that there are
100000 union men under fixed con-
tracts. Their wages don't rise with
prices"
The average wage in the clothing
industry is $27 week, he pointed
out, and 3Oc and 40c an hour in other
trades is not uncommon.
Lets work and win the war first"
he said. 1--WE can talk about who La
getting what when we have won.
Looking ahead to the problems
which will confront the nation when
war ends, Pres. Claude M. Baker of
the Init. Typographical Union (un-
affiliated) urged that farmers and or
ganized labor cooperate in develop
ment of sensible program"
H0rQoni1ad farmara and orooni1ad
labor should recognize that there is a
mutual problem" he said. They
can cooperate in constructive man
ner if there is a will to do So"
Frank G. Boudreau of the Milbank
Foundation, New York, told the insti-
tute that instead of subsidizing re-
striction we may have to subsidize
consumption in order to provide ade-
quate diets for all the people.

DIES MONIES, Ia (FP) Now !
the time for low-paid workers, who's
real wages" have been falling stead
lily before rising prices, to boost thei
pay rates, Price Administrator Leol
Henderson suggested at the sixth an
nual National Farm Institute here
February 20-21.
Henderson spoke out against wage
ceilings but he also opposed further
increases for higher-paid workers.
Emphasizing that the burdens OF
the war must be distributed equitably
he urged labor groups with higher
wages and greater bargaining power
voluntarily to forego demands.
"The principle of adjusting wages
| to the cost of living should, In my
opinion, be limited to those workers
who are really on a sub-standard lev
ell" he said. "The spread between
the wages In this group and the wages
of the better paid, better organized
workers should be reduced
IF wage increases are permitted ac-
cording to bargaining power, this
spread will be increased. The strong
bargainers will hold their standard
of living at the expense of the others
and those others will suffer double
burden, getting an even smaller piece
of a smaller pie.
"Unquestionably there are some
groups whose standard of living is
already at subsistence level. Such
groups obviously cannot take a cut
without impairing health or eff
cheney. There are other groups whose
living standards are so high that they
can stand a reduction greater than
the average"
If higher-paid workers postpone de-
mands now, they have a right to ask
that their contribution does not ac-
crue to the advantage of management
or to agriculture or to any other
group" he said.
They have right to demand
drastic increase In the excess profit
taxes, drastic increase in individual
taxes, levied according to ability to
pay. They have a right to demand
effective control over the cost of liv-
ing"
Declaring that the nation is con-
fronted with a $4,000, 100000 infla-
tion gap this year." Henderson as
serted that this gap could only be
closed by constantly increasing pro-
duction, and with more drastic taxes

aren't given jobs on their looks.
Incidentally, it is now revealed that
this was not the first defense job on
which Deatherage worked as an en-.
gineer
How many other fascist plotters
are working on defense jobs? Mr..
Martin Dies should be able to tell us,
since he says he knows who all the
fascists are. 1t would be easy for his
stool pigeons to find out. But Mr..
Dies did not locate Daetherage on
the Norfolk naval job; it was a news
paper reporter.
Mr.. Dies is much more interested
in what New Dealers like Leon Hen
derson are doing than in what fascists
like George Deatherage are doing.
True to Form
While the world generally is
shocked by the shame of Riom"-
the trials ordered by Vichy at the be-
hest of Hitler-they find support from
William Randolf Hearst in his column,

is that he is living in the wrong
