of Chile, having been born in VAL

Her mothers parents, both English,

the McCrimmons as long as a men,

Green, Murray
Assure USO of
Labor Support

William Green, president of
the American Federation of La
Dor, and Philip Murray, president
of the Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations, have issued state
ments urging organized workers
to support the armed forces by
contributing to the USO War
Fund Campaign to begin May II.
In his statement Mr.. Green
described United Service Organi-
ations as meaning "friendliness,
cheer, the little comforts that
count when men are far from
their families and firesides." He
added that through the USO
each of us can make a personal
contribution to bring a little bit
of home to our fighting men
wherever they are sent" Mr..
Green pointed out that, with the
five million members of his Or
ganization "in this war with
everything they've got" USO is
Showing us the way to do a
good turn for these boys in uni
form"
Mr.. Murray's statement said,
in part, that "the USO is the
way of showing the men who weal
the arms in this war that we are
with them, that we have not for
gotten their welfare, that we
want to do everything humanity
possible to assist them now and
to assure the continuation of
American ideals and standards
after the war"
The statement urged that un-
ion support of the USO contin-
ua and that union members par
ticipate locally in the work of
the organization"
Upon receiving news of the
two statements, Prescott S. Bush,
National Chairman of USO's
1912 campaign, said that the ac-
tion of the labor leaders, coming
nearly two months before the
campaign, "is early proof of that
clOse-knit union between worker
and fighter SO necessary for vic
tory"
