DEAR CIO-LOVE, AFOfL

LatOr leaders frequently protest
that the so-called capitalist owned
and-ccnsrolled press doesn't print
the truth about labor and that
labor owned controlled press is
therefore necessary TO give the
working people the true facts OF
life. Taking leaf from this book
of precepts, ii behOoveS every per-
son who would be well informed to
scan the AF.ofL. and the CLIO.
press clip sheets and handouts from
sine 10 time to see which way the
fur flies.
The two top editors and public
relations experts for these outfits
are Phil Pearl for the, A.F.ofL. and
Len De Caux for the CLIO. Both
have offices in Washington, both
used to be neWSpapermen them
selves, both are well and favorably
known 10 the minions of the capi-
taliss press. beth are nice guys.

that cnly the labor press .ells the

(ChriStian Science Monitor)
Those who fear that internationalism
is something a country must take all IN
one gulp should be reasSured by pro-
r,Jsal before the governing body of the
International Labor office, now meet
ing at Philadelphia This proposal out
lines a system of international commit
tees to represent some of the world 5
big industries The committees would
represent labor. management and, pos
sibly. government.
These committees would work on labor
problems, and would. of course, have to
relate them to general economic queS-
tions Their efforts, however, would ap-
ply only in those industries where deVel-
opments clearly affected other countries.
This is important. 1t means that inter-
national measures would be tested IN a
restricted area of industry. one IN when
some measure of international cooper
alton already exists.
Some of the chief questions before
these committees would doubtless con-
Germ the stake of labor as we'll as en-
ployers in tariffs and other trade bar
riers-how these could be lowered the
world over with the least disturbance to
connecting groups; how the gains OF
labor in one nation might be transplanted
to other nations-how, for example,
working conditions, wages, and other
benefits might be equalzed upward.
The activities of such committees could
do much to remove the working peoples
fear that a better standard of living in
one country might mean a lowered living
standard in another. Much might be
accomplished through committee reports
10 educate all eeoples-and especially
those in high-living standard countries
that freer trade and freer migration can
produce benefits all round.

 Reed Kennedy, baritone star of CBS' Family Hour," heard Sum- days at 6 D. m, will vacation at the Kennedy Lodge in Canada for few days following his July 2 broadcast, prior to resuning his "A summer concert series.
 Many of the radio stars heard from New York are committing to Connecticut where they have sum- mer homes. Benay Venuta, singer on the Harry Savoy series over NEG Thursday nights, is the latest to join the colony, coming in from Greenwich for her broadcasts.
 Billy Mills, musical conductor of the Fibber McGee orchestra, Is planning to open San Francisco headquarters for a group of musi- clans representing every nation in the world.
 John Gurney, Metropolitan Opera basso who guest starred last Sum- day (25) on World of Song" (Sun- days at 4:30 p. m., over WATR and the Blue) has Q summer ahead of him which will make the PreSiden- tial candidates campaign tours look like week in the country. Imme- diately following his appearance next Sunday, July 3, on the Treas ury Star Parade, Gurney leaves for Texas where he will sing several performances of Mendelssohn's "Eli- jah;" during the balance of July, he will cover Oklahoma, Kansas, Me- braska as well as a large part of Texas in a concert tour. He opens on July 3l in "The Bohemian Girl" with the Dallas Summer Opera Company for two-weeks engage ment, then dashes up to Grand Ra- pids, Mich, to appear in "The Va- gabond King" for three weeks.
 Preview reports from Hollywood are that the next big song hit is We'll Met Again in Honolulu" which James Melton sings in the forthcoming "ziegfeld Follies." You'll probably be hearing Melton do 1t on the air soon via his new series which starts on CBS Sunday, July ?, at 9:30 p. m.
 Ward Wilson, known as Werren- rath the Handy Man, on the Stage Door Canteen" programs over CBS Friday nights, has asked Raymond Paige, band leader on the series, for copies of the latest lullabies. wilson became pappy for the third time this week. Eddie Cantor might be interested to know that all three are boys.
 Despite the fact that he's a Can. adian, Raymond Massey, narrator on the series, '"The Doctor Fights" over CBS Tuesdays at 9:30 D. m., has found that practically all his characteriZations as an actor have been typically U. S. American. These range from the cynical editor in Five Star Final" to "Abe Lin- coin in Illinois" Following his por- trayal of Abe Lincoln he assumed the mantle of John Brown, the Kansas abolitionist in "Sante Fe Trail"
 Besides his many personal ap- pearances during the Fifth War Loan Drive. Bert Lytell, em cee of CBS Stake Door Canteen" heard Friday nights, can be found three times a week at the Bond Cash Register in Times Square, New York. Bert is probably one of the hardest workers for the War Loan Drives.
