WASHINGTON, Oct. 7, (FP)-
Rep. John f. Rankin ID, Miss.),
whose anti-Negro, anti-Semitic Ii
rades have been attacked in PM,
received prominent space in the
Washington Times Herald Sept. 30
for his name-calling of Publisher
Marshall Field Of Pm and The Chi
cago Sun.
For the second time since con-
gress convened Rankin vigorously
defended Secretary of State Cordell
Hull--reputedly much to Hulls en-
barrassment. Fields millions, he
said, are being used "to finance
the publication and distribution of
PM, that uptown edition of the
Communits Daily Worker, that is
waging its daily scurrilous attacks
on Cordell Hull, our great secre-
tary of state, and one of the out
standing statesmen of the world"

More than 1900 workers of
the union went to the management
and demanded that the five work
ers who had refused to join either
be given their releases by the COM
pany or that all 1,500 wanted their
certificates of availability.
After considerable discussion the
union workers told the management
that they were not striking but
wanted releases if the five non
union workers were not released.
The company management finally
decided it would rather retain the
l 800 union men than the five nom
union Accordingly, the five were
given their releases and everybody
went back to work happy to at last
have 100 per cent union shop.
Officials of the union, including
Harper Diener, president; John T.

pared by Eastern Bureau Man. H..

Carey. PegIer
Debo+e in Ladies
Home Journal

PHILADELPHIA, Oct. 7 (FP)-
In the October issue of The Ladies
Home Journal is debate between
Sec.-Treas. James B. Carey of the
CIO and Westbrook Pegler, notori-
Gus labor r-baiting columnist, on the
question, "Is Pegler Fair to La
Dor ?"
Carey says: mo, Pegler is not
fair" He points out that Pegler
tells all that is bad about labor and
nothing that is good. In proof of
Pegler's anti-labor bias, he points
to the fact that out of 48 Pegler
columns between Feb. / and April
80, this year, % were attacks on
real or imagined crimes of organ
lied labor"
"None criticized business or in
dustrial leaders," Carey continues.
During this three-month period, a
series of war frauds was exposed
by the Department of Justice. But
Pegler's profession is the persecu-
tion of labor. the inadequacies or
corruption of other groups leave
him strangely silent and unmoved."
Pegler Keeps Quiet
Recalling that Pegler had kept
quiet about the conviction Of
officials of the Anaconda Wire &
Cable Co. and other corporations
for selling defective materials to
the U. S. Government, Carey says,
"If l were Westbrook Pegler |
would cite these cases to prove
that American big business is will
fully endangering the lives of
American boys for private profit.
/ would deliver lengthy polemics
against the criminal responsibility
of management"
But this picture, he adds, would
be "tragically unfair to the vast
majority of industrialists and en-
gineers who are working overtime
to win this war. 1t would be as
unfair as Westbrook Pegler's pie
ture of organized labor"
In the same issue of the Journal
appears three-page illustrated
article on John j. Murphy, AFL
New England organizer, entitled,
Meet an AFL Labor Organizer.
1t describes Murphy's daily life,
his home and family, and discusses
his work.

JAW Scores
'SWeu+shop'


WASHINGTON (FP) The
United Auto Workers (CIO) con-
demned the handful OF congress-
men "who want to safeguard
sweat shops" by blocking the Sa-
dowski bill, HR 5343, which would
raise allotments for servicemen's
dependents to minimum decency
standard of living.
Testifying at house military af-
fairs committee hearings on bills
increasing allotments, UAW Vice.
Pres. Richard T. Frankensteen
said "it appears that the basic rea-
son for the opposition to increases
for dependents comes from those
who fear that the standard of cer-
tain families among working peo-
pie eligible for the allowances
would be raised beyond their nor
NAL living standards"
Frankensteen may have been al
luding to committee member r.
Ewing Thomason Cd. Tex.) who,
afraid that tven the inadequate
S79 monthly allotment provided for
in the Reynolds -Sparkman bill, S.
1879, would be too much for Mexi-
cana Americans in his district, has
been trying to figure out way 10
differentiate between urban and
rural community allotments.
"The opponents of an increase of
allowances for dependents have N
mind, of course the rural families
which have often earned less than
these proposed dependency allow
ances," Frankensteen said. "It
might be pointed out that under
present law the rural population ~
to a considerable extent not
volved in this question because o.
the deferment Of agricultural labor
in the selective service laws. How
ever, the congress is aware of the
fact that irrespective of past earn
ings, the cost of living in rural
areas is not substantially less than
it is for urban areas"

Part of the credit for the
downfall of the hardbitten

days before Cox's resignation de-
manded that he be ousted as unfit

Mr.. Cox has been forced to recog-
nize his duty to the house, the de-

way interfering with a congress
sional committee or embarrassing
the house itself. Certainly the case
will not be properly disposed of

explain before a grand jury his
acceptance of the $1,000 fee which
led to his Inflated fiasco."
Describing Cox's resignation as

withdrawal was forced by public
resentment at "the appalling roper
cussions of his conduct upon the

The editorial likewise urged the

man behind most of Cox's antics.

cation would continue to be only a

members. Subsequently it was
charged with Communist activi-
ties and its two executive officers,
Abraham Lefkowitz and Henry
Linville, urged the AFT to revoke
the locals charter. The AFT re-
fused and Lefkowitz and Linville
withdrew, taking with them some
700 members, to form the Teachers
Guild.
Then began the witch-hunt by
the Rapp-Coudert committee Of the
New York state senate which, by
publicity and expulsion of teach

its membership totals $500 in
three chapters: one each for
