this tour it has been my privilege to
address several university audiences, and
I have been surprised by the large num-
ber of students who are unaware of the
origin of the Stars and Stripes in the
National Flag. And this ignorance, be it
added, soto voce, often has not been
confined to the students.

Untruths Are
Still Told By
Kaltenborn
Refuses To Give Basis Of
His Attack On Organized
Labor

ROCHESTER, N. Y.-Radio com
mentator Hans Won Kaltenborn is still
not telling the truth, Rochester:
official ALL. newspaper, Labor
proved this week. Kaltenborn's recent
statements that nonunion plants are
out-producing union plants are refuted
Labor shows, in letter from ALL
Publicity Director Philip Pearl.
In series of broadcasts over Sta
ton WEAF, New York, Kaltenborr
made statements of which the follow
ing is typical:
IL wish someone would tell me
why non-union aircraft plants al
ways seem to have a better prOduc-
ton record than the uniOnized air.
craft plants. Most union men are
thoroughly patriotic. They try just
as hard as nOn-uniOn men to make
good production records. Yet on
every basis of comparison the non
union plant seems to come out
ahead of the union plant
Jack gladden., editor of Labor, wrote
Kaltenborn asking for proof of the
statement, for facts and figures. He
received no reply. He made several
long distance telephone calls, but could
not get past the secretary. In fact, the
secretary kept probing gladden. for
facts. Have you any figures to the
contrary?" she asked.
Finally, Pearl wrote to William
Burke Miller of National Broad
casting Co., protesting KaltenbOrn' s
statements. ''ThOse statements, ;"
Pearl said, ''are entirely false.
Records of the War Production
Boards show that the two Outstand-
ing producers of aircraft are first,
Vultee aviation Inc.) and then
Boeing (Aircraft COrp.), both
under union shop contracts"
Pointing out that Kaltenborn re-
fused to see gladden. or to retract his
SANDERS of organized workers, Pearl
continued GAS information director
of the American Federation of Labor,
| wish to support the protest made by
the editor of Labor, official organ of
the Central Trades & Labor Council,
Rochester, N. Y"
While labor has given up any
hope it might have had of chang
ing KaltenbOrn's attitude on labor,
described by Pearl as ''aIl wet" it
must insist that such fragrant and
"fiat misstatement of fact" be cor
rected, he said. He concluded by
calling upon NBC to have a cor
rection made by KaltenbOrn on the
same national hook-up over which
the original falsehoOd was broad
cast.

Not Worried
On New Rent
.Laws-White
N. H. Director Says Land
lords And Tenants Have
Good Relationship

Nathan III. White, acting area
rent director of the New Haven
Rent Control district, told The I'm
ion Times this week that he didn't
feel any cause for alarm in the new
law requiring that all rents must
be paid upon the due date specified
in the lease.
The amendment of the rent, law,
which was hustled through the Gen
eral Assembly in its closing days, went
into effect Oct. |. Previously, tenants
were permitted a period of nine days
after due date before eviction pro-
ceedings could be instituted against
them.
Il don't look for any hurries of
evlctions because the nine day grace
period has been removed" said
White. "Landlord-tenant relations in
New Haven are extremely good, and
| expect them to continue"
White stated that the O.P.A. does
MT interfere with local or state laws
governing tenant relations except to
see that federal rent ceilings are OBJ
served.
He also announced change in
Federal regulations which provide
that new purchasers of tenanted
properties for their own occupancy
need only make 2O@o down pay
ment in unbOrrOwed funds. All re-
quirements for Owner-Occupancy
by new purchasers remain the same
except, for the decrease in down
payment from one-third to one
fifth.

by any and all possible means.
I'VE have succeeded in this beyond
the most optimistic expectations. The
few strikes that have taken place are
merely the exception to the rule.
The 'no-strike' record of American
workers during this war is better
than that of labor in any other free
country in the world, including ma
tons like Great Britain which have
actually been under direct enemy fire.
II have spoken to you thus
frankly because l feel there is some
danger of organizations like the
American Legion being used by
powerful groups to advance special
and selfish economic interests.
trust that the American Legion will
reject any such advances no matter
how attractiveIy they are disguised.
More than anything else, if it is to
retain and extend its effective in
fiuence for all that is best i'm the
American way of life, the American
Legion must preserve its independ-
ence of thought and action. Only
by SO doing can it successfully take
full advantage of the opportunities
for growth and expansion and serv-
ice that loom ahead
Pres. Green urged close cooperation
between the American Legion and
the American Federation of Labor for
the attainment of two major post
war detectives, These, he stated, are
the establishment of permanent world
peace and the initiation of peace
time production program which will
provide jobs for demobilized soldiers
and the millions Of war workers.
He added:
American workers who are eligi-
BILE to membership in the American
Legion have shown and grasped an
understanding of the potential
benefits of unity and cooperation
between the American Federation
of Labor and American Legion. This
is evidenced by the fact that 81 I'm
ion Labor American Legion Posts
have been formed. All the mem
bers of these 81 posts are also
members of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Il am sure | will in no way be
misunderstood if | suggest that ad-
ditional Union Labor Legion Posts be
chartered whenever and wherever

mendable patriotic and civic motives.

Labor Baiters Are
S.Fascists-Green
A.F.L. Chief Warns American Legion To Avoid Gun
reasonable Statements Concerning Labor Legion
Now Has 81 Union Posts All A.F.L Members

OMAHA, Neb.-In a spirit
ed address before the Ameri-
can Legion convention, ALL.
President William Green as
sailed labor baiters as Fascists
and warned the Legion to be-
ware advances from powerful
groups who wish to use the
veterans organization for
Especial and selfish economic
interests"
Without pulling his punches,
Pres. Green charged that repre-
sentatives of the American Lee
gion have at times 'been guilty
of rash and unreasonable state
ments" concerning labor.
He defended the record made by
American workers during the war
in vigorous fashion, pointing out
that they have spanked the attack
against our enemies by their prodi-
giOus production achievements.
''Our workers have done just as
good a job as our soldiers" Mr..
Green declared, ''yet instead of
praise and a pat on the back, they
have been taking terrible beating
i'm the press, ON the radio and in
the public forums of our country.
Speaking for more than six mil
lion Woodworking and thoroughly
patriotic members of the American
Federation of Labor, | can truth
fully say that they bitterly resent
the slurs and denunciations that have
been heaped upon the organized
workers of America by people who
ought to know better. Even spokes-
men for the American Legion have al
times been guilty of rash and unrea-
sonable statements.
ut is quite understandable for
people to become incensed over some
Individual incident or situation, but
it is wholly reprehensible to denounce

every time an isolated strike Oc-
ours, hue and cry develops for
Iynching all of labor's rights. Such
an attitude is un-American. 1t is,
in fact, typically Fascist. There is no
place for it in our free country.
''Organized labor in America has
voluntarily surrendered the exercise
of its right to strike for the dura-
ton in order to help win the war.
Our 'no-strike' pledge to the Presi-
dent has been religiously kept by
SO and nine-tenths of the members
of the American Federation of La
Dor. We know that in order to keep
America free and to preserve the
right to strike against injustice for
all time, we must keep on working
without interruption until final vic
tory is won. Ever since the war
started the efforts of the national
and local officers of American Fede-
ration of Labor unions have been
concentrated on preventing strikes
