officers of six leading farm outfits

Says Bills
Life
Nightmare

Washington, April 22-"The A.
nancial problem hangs over us at
all times like a cloud. We are very
conscientious about our bills. At
my house the bills are paid before
the groceries are bought. Lately
1t Is like living in a nightmare
trying to keep up with them"
This Is a letter from CLIO
Womens Auxiliary member, wife
OF a Clio Textile Union man In
Cumberland, Md. With 1t, Faye
Stephenson, auxiliary president,
closed an appeal to Congress to re-
new the Price Control Act without
crippling amendments, with need
ed changes.
CLIO Auxiliary interest in price
control went back to 1871, when
the national Auxiliary Congress
was formed and took for Its first
task the job Of mobilizing ''the
wives, sisters, daughters and
mothers OF our CLIO members
throughout the country to work
for passage Of the price control
law"
Since that time. Mrs. Stephen
son pointed out, CLIO women have
worked on volunteer price and ra-
ton boards. as checkers. as un-
paid workers for effective control
In the corner stores and neighbour
hoods where control policies must
be made to stick.
Stressing the need 10 keep and
extend dollars and cents ceilings,
the only kind that can be readily
seen and understood by the con-
sumner, Mrs. Stephenson said:

system enables the buyers TO
check on the legal prices that
may be charged"

sides judiciously applied, and
our experience leads us to the
firm belief that authority and
funds for such subsidies must be
continued and directed to increase
production"

tural Mobilization Committee;

amendments, Fitzgerald said, was
the scheme to let the Federal
courts take every individual APP
peal from an OPA ruling that
might be made by any single pro-
Queer or retailer. This would re-
suit In hopeless legal tangles, he
said, out of which chiselling ele-
ments would produce a chaos OF
profiteering. A similar proposal
was rejected when the act was
first written in 1912. and should
be rejected again.
Under proposed schemes to
weaken enfOrcement-alrea In
adequate - Fitzgerald hit most
sharply ut the "blOck-buster"
proposal to eliminate triple dam
age suits now provided to check
viOlatOrs.
This Is completely incOnsist-
ent with the task of cracking
down on black markets and price
chiseIers," he said. "Any rcmov-
al of the threat of triple dam
ages would add tremendously tn
the enforcement burden of OPA."
Finally, Fitzgerald took sharp
crack at the bald proposal to lift
prices on such things as milk, oil,
corn and cotton. This, he pointed
out, completely exposed the amend
ment boys for what they are en-
emies of the whole idea of effec-
tive price control.
II urge that you strip bare these
various amendments, often compli-
Gated and technical in form, and
reject them for what they are
efforts to raise the cost of living"
he said
"Re-enaCtment of the law, free
of Gripping restrictions, would
be the greatest support that Con-
gress could give to the efforts OF

he said, were simply efforts to
raise the cost of living" as frankly
admitted by Sen. Taft, one of their
leading sponsors.
"Over IS bills have been intro
duced to amend the Act which
would put price on the continued
existence of price control" he said.
Some would raise prices by di-
rect legislative act. others by in

Testimony

Washington, April 22-In a dra-
matte demonstration of what every
housewife knows, Mrs. Faye Ste.
phenson, president Of the Clio
Women's Auxiliaries, showed Sena-
tors now studying Price Control
Act renewal just what the phrase
Equality deterioration" means.
Holding up two children's
dresses, one bought In 1912 and
one bought two weeks ago, she
taught the Senators q volume
about the way housewives and
parents are being cheated by
chiseling manufacturers.
Both dresses were the same
kind-cheap cotton affairs. One
cost 81 ut Sears two years ago,
the other cost So two weeks ago.
The 1912 dress had been worn
and washed and irOned for two
years. It was still intact. The 1914
model had been Numbered once
and was falling apart.
The seams were gone out Of
the new dress. 1t had shrunk so

get into It The stitching had
given away. The hem had fallen

Before going into the main part
OF his testimony--which concen-
trated on the need for continuing
rent control-the president of the
CLIO United Auto Workers Union
took a crack at certain Congress
men who try to set workers and
farmers against each other on the
question of prices and wages.
Nearly a quarter Of the 1,250,000
members Of the JAW have their
folks living on farms or live on
farms themselves, he said. THE
Clio and my own union, the JAW,
have made abundantly clear that
they stand for fair and adequate
prices to farmers.
I'VE know some Of the prob
lens of farmers, we know the diff
ficulties under which they now
operate due to manpOwer, feed,
fertilizer and other shortages :.
The milk farmers and the labor
movement I'm Michigan have CO.
operated In an effort to get higher
prices for milk producers and to
maintain a low price level for
consumers"
Schemes to jerk price lids "for
the benefit OF farmers" usually
turn out to be schemes to give
all the gravy to the monopolists
"and reduce both the farmer and
the worker to a sharecropper's
standard of living" he said.
Turning to rent control, Thomas,
who is chairman of the National
CLIO Housing Committee, revealed
that no union witnesses were al
lowed to appear at the Smith Com
mittee set up TO investigate" OPA

New Army Plan
to Shut Negroes
Out of Hotels
By Harry McAlpin

washington, d. c. (NNPA)-
The Army Service Forces, under
Lieut.. Gen. Brehon Somervell-
now famed as the author Of the
statement concerning returning Ne
gro servicemen, aid like to dump
the coons in the middle of the
desert"-has set up a priority sys-
tenn for referring soldiers to the
hotel-type redistribution centers as
opposed to the camp-type centers.
The priority system is one which
works to the detriment of a dis
proportionately large number of
Negro servicemen.
Highest priority will go to men
who have been patients in hospitals
overseas and nearing completion of
their convalescence but not quite
ready for duty. In this same group
will be placed prisoners of war who
have been repatriated or have es-
capped.
Second priority will go to men
with combat awards and the great
est length of service overseas. This
will probably be the largest group
qualifying for hotel accommoda-
lions.
After these groups are accom-
modated in the luxury hotels main
tanned by the Army, if the hotel &C
commodations are not exhausted,
other men may be sent there, prob
ably on the basis of length of serv-
ice overseas and physical condition.
Because Negroes are used over
seas primarily in capacities which
give little or no opportunity for
winning combat awards, it is ap-
parent they will get few of the
hotel accommodations.
Just two months ago, the Army
was a very rosy hue from the red
faces Of the brass hats resulting
from the furore raised when jim
crow redistribution centers were
planned for the Theresa Hotel in
New York and the Pershing Hotel
in Chicago, which were discarded
only after President Roosevelt
stepped in and ordered a change of
plans. Memory of this fact has
given rise to speculation as to
whether the priority system-which
on the face seems a natural pro-
cedure-isn't really a move to de-
feat the housing of any large num-
Der of Negroes in the luxury-type
hotels maintained as redistribution
centers in various resort locations.
So far, only one camp has been
as a redistribution CEN
ter. It is Sam Houston in Texas.
The NNPA pointed out in a release
at the time the Army announced
its revised redistribution center
program that persons familiar with
the usual Army plan of operation
had cautioned Negroes to watch
closely to see that when the camp
phase of the program was put into
effect that Negroes are not herded
into Southern camps where their
opportunities for relaxation and
recreation will be hampered by the
traditions and customs of the COM
munities in the surrounding area.
That caution seems to hold good
still.
