survivors insurance from l
to 2 per cent. The Social Sc
curity Act schedules raises in
the rates paid into the fund oy
both employers and workers
every two years. -Four times,
now, this has been blocked by
Congress.
The move to block such a rise
in the current Congress is led
by Sen. Arthur Vandenberg (R.,
Mich.). The House Ways and
Means Committee has already
approved freezing the rate at
II. The House is scheduled TO
pass this measure, as is the SEN
ate, despite Administration op-
position. Only Presidential
veto, most Washington observers
say, can stop the drive.
Work or Raise
Both AFL and CIO represen-
tatives here have been actively
working for the rise to 2qs.
The same groups who sup
port the freezing of contribu-
tions," wrote CIO legislative di-
rector Nathan Cowan to all
members of Congress Dec. 2,

ers of America; they are not the
friends Of social security for the
American people.
William Green, writing on be-
half of the AFL on the eve of a
decision in the House committee,
wrote to Chairman Doughton
urging that it block any freeze.
He has written in a similar vein
to all members of Congress.
Because the measure was
pushed through during the two
major labor declarations conven-
tions, the only labor representa-
tive appearing before the House
committee was Martin Miller,
legislative representative of the
Brotherhood of Railway Train
men, who expressed labor's op-
position to the freeze.

More than $4,000 was raised
last year by the CIO by the sale
of the charity papers in the

organization composed of lead
ing citizens, judges, doctors, law
yers, labor leaders, merchants
and others who formerly sold
newspapers in Toledo and came
up the ladder the hard way, pro-
vides aid for youngsters in this
city regardless of race, color or
creed. The organization is proud
of its record of being 100 per
cent charity and not spending
one cent for overhead.
Not only does the group aid
the children but in many in
stances gives temporary aid in
providing payment of rent, fur
nishes fuel and food, purchases
artificial legs, arms and glasses
and medical care. Many person
would have been buried in the
charity lots of cemeteries were
it not for this organization.

Richard Gosser, UAW-CIO re-

Blood Donors
Thanked

Professional labor haters will
find it difficult, if not impos-
sible to convince people who
have been aided by the Local IL
blood donor groups that unions
are the evil things which West
brook Pegler and his kind seek
to make them appear.
Hundreds of letters from reci-
pients of blood from the various
donor groups organized in many
of Local IL Units attest the
gratitude and appreciation of
those who have been unfortu-
nate enough to require the type
of service which the union blood
groups render.
Probably no other activity of
Local II has received as little
-publicizing and done more good
than the blood donors clubs.
Quietly and modestly these
groups have gone about their
work of mercy. Their only re-
ward has been the gratitude of
those whose lives have been saw
ed, or whose recovery has been
speeded because of this humani-
tartan work of hundreds of Local
IL members.
Give Many Transfusions
Some of the donors of blood
in Local IL have given for as
many as 10 or more transfusions.
In addition to this, many have
given their blood to the Red
Cross blood banks. Not only have
members of Local IL, their wives
and families been aided, but
many who are not connected
with the organization.
The following letter is typical
of many which are received by
Local IL and the Units which
maintain blood donor groups and
blood banks:
"To Whom
l Owe Thanks:
l wish to express my sincere
thanks for the wonderful re-
sponse to the request for blood
during my recent illness. know
that it was one of the contribut-
ing factors in saving my life.
This generous gesture of the
donors" shall never be forgot
ten by my entire family who
join me in extending my thanks
to Local IL. I'm sure the Lord
will reward them for their kind
ness.
Wishing the best of everything
for an organization which pro-
notes such ideals of humanity,
l am,
Gratefully yours,
Mrs. Nettie M. Harbauer.
Largest blood donor groups in
the city are maintaing several
Local IL shops. Those who have
contributed the largest amounts
of blood included WillysOver-
land, Spicer, Auto-Lite and
Champion Spark Plug Units.
Many other units of the Local
also maintain their own blood
donors club" whose members
receive no compensa ton except
