Venezuela viii Pay.
u. 5. For Materials,
Medina Emphasizes
BY HAROLD B. ROGERS.

President Isaias Medina Angarits
Of Venezuela, who will conclude hi,
visit in Washington Monday, Is max.
ing 1t plain that his country Il
willing and able to pay for anything
1t gets from the United States.
In what was interpreted as q
reply to recent criticism OF this
Governments spending policy in
Latin America he has made two
different attempts to impress Wash.
ington that Venezuela is not askins
free favors. He stressed the point
both In q press conference yesterday
at the Blair House, and in his speech
Thursday before the Senate and
House.
Would Adapt Materials.
At the press conference, President
Medina said he recognized that GER
tain ways and means" OF progress
made by the United States In its
enormous development" might be
adapted to his own country, but he
emphasized: "Of course, any mate
rails the United States provides for
us will be bought and paid for by
Venezuela"
Some of the landing ships and
barges developed for war here might
be of great advantage in developing
the economy of Venezuela adjacent
to its waterways, he said Expansion
OF the agricultural iron and cement
industries is needed, he said, and the
diamond possibilities of his country
could be developed.
His conferences with President
Roosevelt, President Medina said
were of general character" but
much appreciated because it enabled
him ito understand more completely
the personality of your President"
Discusses Collaboration.
Discussing the proposed collabora-
ton between Venezuela, Colombia
and Ecuador in a so-called Colon
bian Union" Mr.. Medina said "Ven-
ezuela is ready to intensity the
spiritual links. keeping absolute her
political autonomy"
The movement in his country to
revise certain restrictions in the
Constitution aimed against Soviet
Russia was not in the hands of the
executive. but of the legislative
branch OF his government, he said
and SO the question of recognition
of the Soviet had not yet come up
Mr., Medina, who has been widely
feted while in Washington, was to
be the guest of honor at a luncheon
at the Carlton Hotel today given by
Undersecretary of State Stettinius.
Tonight he will be rendered a re-
ception by the Venezuelan Ambas-
sador, DR.. Diogenes Escalante, and

10000. 900 Jobs
Will Bring Ruin.
Says Tire Boss

ASHIN GTON (LPA)-
President Roosevelt's proposal of
6O,OOO,000 postwar jobs would
destroy family life and result in
economic chaos, the nation was
solemnly warned last week by
President William O'Neil, of the
General Tire and Rubber Co.
A prepared S t a { e m e mt by
ONeil, barking back to Hoover
days, declared that IF so, 900, 900
people are to work after the
war, it means the end of the
home as we have known it. It
mans that we will have fewer
children 1t means increased
business in the divorce courts,
increased juvenile delinquency,
and breaking up of the greatest
of all American institutions, the
home. And economically, it
means elimination of the great
est of all industries, home build
ing.
O'Neil's prepared statement
failed to analyze the conse-
quences of possible mass unem-
ployment in the postwar period
and the advantage to employers

Third Par+y For
Labor Debo+ed
By Unionis+

NEW YORK, Dec. 18 (LPA)
Summing up the ideas of two
labor leaders on the November
elections, Common Sense" ma
gazine in its December issue
presents articles by A. Philip
Randolph and James P. Carey.
IAN independent party" is
advocated by Randolph, who is
president of the Brotherhood of
Sleeping Car Porters- -AFL.
"a non-partisan political base
representing the community of
interests among all groups IN
modern society" is urged upon
labor by Carey, secy.-treas. of
the CIO.
"A third party, geared to in
dependent political action, not
to support candidates of the old
parties, must be organized
without delay if America is TO
face with assurance the diff
cult problems of peace and post
war reconstruction" Randolph
writes.
"The Cooperative Common
wealth Federation in Canada"
the AFL official says, fur
nishes an excellent model"
Not The Time
Urging non-partisan organiza-
ton with a strong program,
Carey expresses his belief that
"dogmatism and making a fet-
ish of third-partyism is wrong
headed. Instead, what must be
concentrated upon is the gather
ing and working together of our
representatives respond to the
wishes and aspirations of their
constituents. This primary goal
becomes clouded when one par
ticular organizational device is
considered the sole approach"
THE minimum program of a
non-partlsan, progressive poll
tical organization can be ex-
pressed very succinctly," Carey
maintains. This is, he says,
Sixty million effectively con-
suming workers to be well in
formed voters by 1946, so that
they may forward the aims of
peace and plenty"

Peoples Revolt
On Way. w Wolloee

CHICAGO OPA) - "A peo-
ple's revolution is on the
march" Vice-president Henry
Wallace told Chicago labor and
liberal leaders here last week.
The reactionary Republicans,
Wallace said, "know that some
thing is happening but can't
quite figure out what it is.
Addressing banquet in hon
or of Marshall Field, publisher
of the Chicago Sun and owner
of PM, Wallace said that the
reactionary Republican ru n S
around in his wild panic to gain
some measure of security for
himself, his wealth and the
wealth of his children.
From a Christian point of
view, Wallace continued, "he is
subject to condemnation be-
cause seeing the signs of the
times he fails to use his influ-
ence to make the inevitable
revolution beneficent, striving
instead for short-lived power in
the fashioned way.
Postwar wage cuts, Wallace
warned, could lower the ma
tion's income by thirty billion
dollars and result in such re-
duced employment and con-
sumption as to make even the
interest on the national debt
almost impossible to pay"

their classification by Selective
Service to make them available
for work in any area, industry
or plant where a labor shortage
was decreed." "
Only a third party, distinct
and separate from the two old
line parties, can effectively rep
resent the American workers,
declared President Samuel Woi-
chok of the United Retail,
Wholesale, Department Store
Employes-CIO.
In the long run unions and
their members have little to
gain from either of the old par
ties, he contended. Millions of
workers and farmers would
welcome such a party" he said.
Neither CIO nor AFL political
committees could do the job
that the future demads, VOL
chok said.

ShiPyard Cost 4000Io
More Then Contract

WASHINGTON (LPA) - A
Rhode Island shipyard that was
to have cost 6,500,000 but was
finally built at cost of nearly
S27 100000 last week drew the
attention of leaders of New
England unions whose members
have been seeking a pay raise
for more than a year.
A report on the shipyard, de-
signed to turn out Liberty
Ships, was released by the
House Merchant Marine Com
mittee. 1t criticized the Rheem
Manufacturing Co., builders,
and the Maritime Commission
which did not properly safe
guard government expenditures

control of an inexperienced con-
tractors activities and eXpen-
ditures."

CLOTHING

Despite the fact that thou
sands of complaints have been
sent to the government by
housewives from all sections
of the country relative to the
scarcity of low cost clothing,
WPB officials w ho have
known for some time the rea-
sons for a large part of the
scarcity, have refused to re-
lease the facts.
For quite some time now
the manufacturers of women's
and children's clothing have
been switching to higher pric-
ed lines in order to increase
their profits which are already
the highest in history. AS a
result of the scramble for
higher profits, some lines of
low cost clothing have practi-
cally disappeared from tn e
market.
Production figures for the
first three months of this year,
when compared with similar
period of 1943, show that
Women's and misses dresses
priced to sell at 1895 or less
were so per cent fewer, while
those priced to sell at S9.95
and up were increased by 80
per cent.
Girls dresses at S6.95 were
per cent fewer, whereas
those priced in excess of this
price were increased by 81 per
cent.
Women's blouses, waists
shirts at $1.95 and under were
5 per cent fewer, those from
$1.19 to $2.95 were increased
by 10 per cent and those in
excess of this figure were 90
per cent more plentiful.
NOT HOLDING LINE
While these figures are not
complete, that show what the
WPS is not doing to help hold
the line on prices and demon
Strate how the manufacturers
are putting profits ahead of
everything else and getting
away with it. This has been
their constant effort ever since
the inception of the alleged
price control act.
Women are not purchasing
higher priced clothing because
they wish to, but because
they have very little choice in
the matter. If the WPB and
OPA are really serious about
correcting this matter, they
could find no better time
than the present, when the
War Labor Board acting on
order of War Mobilization Di-
rector Vinson rejected up
ward revision of the little
steel formula.
Housewives are urged to
write to their newly elected,
or reelected congressman de-
manding thm to turn the heat
on the WPB. They are also
urged to tell OPA to put cell
ings on clothing prices which
can and will be enforced.

Tent Shortage
Loid TO
Low Wages

WASHINGTON, Dec. 18 =
(LPA)-The way in which sub
standard wages sabotage tho
war effort by holding down pro
duction and intensifying the
manpower problem was illus
trated here this week by the
Textile Workers Union-CIO in
submitting three new cases to
the War Labor Board.
Three recently organized
Texas mills, the WLB was told,
are concentrating on production
of cotton duck which the WPB
and the Army say is so urgent
ly needed that it may be nee
sary to substitute sheet steel for
tentage if production of this
fabric is not increased rapidly
enough"
However, the minimum wage
in each of the three mills is 40c
an hour, the minimum allowed
by the Fair Labor Standards
Act. Average wage for the most
skilled men in the three plants
is 62-65c an hour.
Not far from these mills, ac-
cording to John E d m a n,
TWUA Washington representa-
tive, "are airplane and other
war factories where the starting
wage for unskilled labor is at
least as high as the top wage
for the most highly skilled
mechanics in the cotton mills
1t is no wonder" Edelman
pointed out, that the three
Texas duck mills are operating
with about 40%o of capacity
work force. The owners of the
mills complain about high over
head due to insufficient labor
force. OPA this week announc-
ed another price rise to produc-
ers of duck. But the WLB is
still considering, after having
had the case before it for a year,
the demand of the TWUA for a
minimum wage of 60c an hour
in the cotton textile industry.
