URGES BROADER
PROGRAM, WORKERS

Washington, D. C. ILNS) The
United States and Great Britain are
determined to fight the enemies at
home-"want and the fear of want t.
members of the Social Security Board
said here in a radio program.
Chairman Arthur j. Altmeyer said
that the job to be done in this coun-
try is to "broaden our Federal insur-
ance system so that it will be open
to millions of farm workers and do
nestle workers and others who now
have no chance to share in it and to
see that the rights of servicemen are
protected"
Altmeyer urged stronger, safe
and fairer program of unemployment
insurance to meet the shock of post
war readjustments."
1--WE need" he added, insurance
protection for the worker who is dis
abled and for his family, like that we
now have for the family of worker
who dies. We need to strengthen the
protection of children and, in general,
to make sure that there are more
nearly equitable standards of public
assistance in all parts of our coun-
try"
Mrs. Ellen Woodward, member of
the board, said Altmeyer was not
making a tabloid" Beveridge report
She added, however, that Britain and
the United States are determined
leach in it's own way, to implement
the fifth plank Of the Atlantic chart
er-'collaboration between all nations
in the economic field with the object
of securing, for all, improved labor
standards, economic advancement and
social security"
Mrs. Woodward asserted hat the
country's worst shortcomings are In
what we are doing for children-the
limit for Federal matching money is
lower for dependent children than fol
the needy aged or the needy blind.

Washington, D. C. (ILNS).-Inves-
tigation of steel shortages will con-
tinue when the new Congress con-
venes. That is the meaning of the
"interim" report submitted by the
Committee on Merchant Marine and
Fisheries to the House on the day the
old Congress adjourned. Members of
Congress have no intention Of aban-
doning study and supervision of steel
production for war needs and for post
war purposes. In this resolution they
are supported by both AFL and CIO.
AS matter of record, the first wit
ness before the committee was John
P. Frey, president of the AFL Metal
Trades Department.
Because the winning of the war and
continuous employment depend upon
steady and adequate flow of steel,
the following excerpts from the
House committees report are of more
than passing interest:
"Your committee has found that the
supply of steel is woefully short Of
the requirements, as set forth each
month by the services agencies = the
Maritime Shipbuilding, the Navy and
the War Departments. Notwithstand-
ing the many drastic WPB limitation
orders issued since Pearl Harbor -
each of which nrohihitS the uSa of
steel in the manufacture of hundreds
of items-the shortage still persists.
Demand Not Met
"The magnitude of this shortage is
so serious that any public statement
of the actual figures is impossible at
this time, for such information would
be of real aid to the enemy.
During the six months of inquiry
the supply has never come even close
to meeting the demand for steel, as

State COP Expected
To Nominate LAYERS
Upper Peninsula Candidate
Slated for Highway Position
By FRANK MORRIS

When Republicans gather IN
Detroit next month for their state
convention. they probably will
nominate William W. LAYERS for
state highway commissioner.
A former chief Of construction
and supervisor Of all projects in
southeastern Michigan during the
years when the state was being
pulled from the mud, LAYERS is
recognized as the outstanding
candidate
lie is from Calumet, and the
Upper Peninsula claims him in
spite Of the fact that he has lived
in Detroit for tho last 10 years.
LAYERS. a graduate Of Michigan
State College started IN the high
way department as a rod man in
1916. He advanced stcp-by-step,
finally becoming resident engineer
for Wayne and a dozen surround
ing counties. During the first
World War he was in the air
service.

He had appointed a finance COM

Detroit an unofficial COP commit
tee came to life and skinned Off

Addressing the central commit
iec last week. Dcthmers said that
more money has been going TO the
national party headquarters than
has been received in Lansing.
Under the new program, politi-
cal solicitors will have credentials
from the central committee and
even candidates for office will not
be authorized 10 shake the bushes.
Enforcement of the rule is an
educational undertaking. The cen
trail committee is acting on the
premise that contributors will be
more cautious if they are warned
that their money doesn't always
reach the intended pockets.

NAZI PEACE:
Offensive Is Nipped

AS political observers viewed in
perspective President Roosevelt's
historic North Africa conference
with Prime Minister Churchill, the
conviction grew that one of the most
significant but urheralded results of
that meeting was the forestalling of
a prospective new German peace Of
fensive.
For several months it had been
evident in world chancelories that
Hitler would offer a compromise
peace as part of his 1913 plans. Re-
ports had indicated that his pro-
posals would be made through non
belligerent Spain and would include
an offer to withdraw from Western

Europe while still retaining terrific
ries occupied in Poland, Russia and
the Balkans.
In the light of these disclosures
the Casablanca declaration that the
Allied nations would be satisfied with
nothing short of the unconditional
surrender of Germany, Italy and
Japan, definitely destroyed this spu-
rious peace offensive.
President Roosevelt's visit with
President Vargas of Brazil at Natal,
en- route home, was significant Of the
solidity of South Americas adhesion
to the Allies. Observers believed
Axis peace moves would make no
dent in Latin America, even if made
through still-neutral Argentine.
