As We See It
 by THE STAFF

THE WAR is doing strange things to juvenile delinquency. Now they are starting younger than ever, according to this AP dispatch from London that appeared in the Ne,U York Times:
 LONDON-T British birth rate for l943 was the highest since 1928, and a new low record was set for infant morality, the Regis trar General reported tonight.
 THE DEMOCRATIC party must enthusiastically support President Franklin ID. Roosevelt and the Iib- eral principles for which he stands in order to win the November cleo ton, Sen. Claude Pepper said this week. Speaking of inc Democratic party, Pepper said. eff we go on apologizing and reyracting, we are going to lose. If we ever start mak- ing the Democratic party the con- servative party we are done. If the people want liberalism, the Demo- cratic party is the party to vote for. If they want conservative gov- ernment they will go to the Repub- licans. Pepper said he was con- vinced President Roosevelt would be forced to run for reelection.

First Attempt To Cut Price Control Made In Senate
The Bankhead Amendment Gives Green Light To
 Anti-OPA Forces

Enemies of price control and the OPA have won their first victory to start the dangerous spiral of infla- ton. On May % the Senate Bank ing X Currency committee pre- pared to offer its bill extending the Price Control act for another year. In it the committee has included, by a l2 to 6 vote, an amendment offered by Sen. John H. Bankhead (D.Ala.).
 Banllheads amendment takes off the lid from price freezing on cotton goods. That means that manufac- turers could and would boost the cost of work clothing. overalls, shirts, house dresses, clothing for children and babies.
 Not only does the amendment give green light to everybody who is waiting and eager to increase costs to the consumer of cotton tex tiles, but it stands as an invitation for the woolen goods people to get similar amendment-fOr the food prOcessers, canners, and all sorts of other manufacturers of items going into the workers liv- ing cost to get into the swim and get rich.
 The amendment will open the door to unlimited price increases in every commodity consumers use, and will encourage every profteering interest now pressing to, lift ceilings and de- stroy price control.

Important Role Seen For Labor In 9th War Loan
Conn.'s Quota SAP, ,OOO, GOO; Morgenthau Praises
 Labor's Help

Organized labor again will be called upon to play an important part in the Fifth War Loan which will start on June l2, and run to July 8. Secretary of the Treasury Henry Morgenthau, Jr., has an- nounced that the goal will be $l6,- 900, 100000 of which $6,OOO,- 900 900 is to come from sales of War Bonds to individuals. COnnec- ticut's quota is $442,OOO,OOO.
 Tn the Fourth War Loan," Secre- tary Morgenthau said, Individuals invested $5,300,000,000. In planning to get $6OOO,OOO,OOO in individual sales in the Fifth War Loan we are asking the American people for more than ever before. Fifth War Loan goals were set high because the na- tion's treasury must borrow a great deal of money this year to keep the war going. We will need more than twice as much as we can expect to get in eaxes."
 Ever since the first ''Defense Savings Bonds" were offered by the Treasury in the spring of l94l, the leadership of organized labor has recognized in this program an unusual and acceptable way to help win the war, to fight imitation and, at the same time, to protect the future welfare of the workers themselves, acording to James L.. HOughteling, director of Labor Re- IatiOns for the War Finance Divi- sion. This is one reason why members of organized labor have been buying hundreds of millions of dollars worth of Series E War Bonds every month, he said.

Oleo Price Still Kept Needlessly Up pByDairy Bloc
Consumer Organizations, Women's Auxiliaries Seek
 Federal Action

National consumer organizations and women's auxiliaries of labor organizations prepared to testify in favor of a Senate bill to permit~the sale and distribution of coIored margarine despite the bitter oppO- sition of the rich and powerful dairy interests.
 The dairy bloc in the House killed a similar bill by Rep. Hampton P. Fulmer (D.S.C) but the Senate yer sion (S.1744) was introduced by Sen. Ellison D. Smith (D.S.C.) and public hearings will be held June 6 in the senate committee on agriculture and forestry room in the Senate Office Building.
 Due to the powerful dairy bloc, margarine has long been subject to heavy tax of 1Oc pound and under legal prohibition prevent ing it from being cOlored by the factory.
 Sen. Smiths bill says margarine is wholesome, nutritious and in. expensive table fat manufactured from agricultural commodities. As such, it is necessary to the proper nOurishment of low-income groups, and, during the present war emer- gency, it is urgently required to correct nutritional deficiencies
 The bill makes no change in the present federal license fee of $500 per year on manufacturers and provides for tax of 1zc a pound.
 Sen. Allan J. Ellender (D.La.) is chairman of the subcommittee con- ducting the hearings. Other mem bers are Sen. Richard B. Russell (D.Ga.) and Sen. Eugene D. Milli- kin (R.Co1).

Chicago Tribune
 Influences Tanks?

Whether in Chicago or in Italy, Chicago Tribune cartoons are good Nazi propaganda.
 The Nazis, are showering Tribune cartoons by the tens of thousands on Tanks at the Anzio beachhead in an effort to undermine their morale, ac- cording to The Chicago Sun. One such is aimed at the Soviet Union, depicted as a bloody butcher.

 Three principal Maxi propaganda lines, according to the Sums Italian correspondent, are: 1, Hate Roose- welt 2. Distrust our Allies. 5. The isolationist and homesick line.
 And all three are featured every day in Col. Robert R. McCormick's s sheet.

Compulsory Conscription Bills Doomed
CreenSaysAFL's First Concern Is Getting Out Vote
Asks Election Of Officials Conscious Of Responsi-
 bilities To People

The American Federation of La Dor will not gamble with the future security of the nations s workers by subordinating their in- terests to the fortunes of any par ticdIar political party, President William Green declared this week.
 In timely significant address, de- livered before the convention of the Maryland State and District of Co., lumbia Federation of Labor, MT. Green served notice that the AFL will be extremely active in the com ing political campaign, but along strictly non-partisan lines
 ''Ours is a permanent organi- zation which has become a part of the institutional life of Ameri- can," Mir. Green said. ''We refuse to tie ourselves as the tail to the kite of any political party. To do so is to invite destruction in the event of the defeat of a particular po- itical party or candidate. We are in business to stay, no matter which party wins.
 We are confident that whether the Democratic or Republican Party is elected to power, the prestige of the American Federation of Labor will not suffer, but will be enhanced by our non-partisan policy"
 By inference, MT. Green assailed the violently partisan activities of the CIO Political Action Committee. He said:
 There are some in the ranks of labor who are anxious to get more actively involved in partisan politics. Such individuals would sacrifice the future stability of their organizations for the sake of temporary expediency."
 In outlining the political plans of the Federation, MT. Green em- phasized that the winning of the war and the winning of the peace depend upon the election of capa- ble public officials "who are con. scious of their responsibilities to the common people of the country and are concerned over the protec. ton and conservation of human rights as well as property rights 5
 The Federation's first objective, he said, is to get out the vote of its members. To accomplish his, he explained, central bodies affiliated with the AFL in every city are or. ganizing non-partisan political committees which will see to it that members register and go to he polls on election day.
 The AFL is contributing toward good citizenship by such efforts to get out full vote, MT. Green maintained.
 He insisted that the Federation does not and will not attempt to dictate to its members as to how they shall vote. It does not and will not, he added, give a blanket endorsement to any political party or to any national ticket.

Paternalism No For Workers Union
Employees Have Sole Right To Say If They Want
 To Organize

Simply because a corporation has a long history of model paternaliStic policy towards its employees is no reason for denying union security in the shop, the National War Labor Board ruled this week
 9 The decision came up in the case of the EndicOtt Johnson Corp, En- dicott, N. Y., in a dispute with the Intl. Fur X Leather Workers.
 Endicott Johnson has a proft-Sfar- ing plan, a pension system, hospitaG- zation benefits, pension and retire ment plans in its big shoe factory.
 Despite this, the WLB majority held the need of union is a right for the workers, not the employer to decide and ''having exercised this right, the union formed by the employees is entitled to the same degree of union security as any other union so long as it observes labOr's pledge not to strike in war time and in all other respects acts responsibly."
 The union security clause and checkoff were awarded the workers.

Doctors Discuss GI's Adjustment
 To Civilian Life
Stop-Gap Jobs Are Not Enough Says Canadian Medical Director Community Must Live Up To Soldiers
 Expectations, He Says

Organized labOr's warning that long-range planning simply bonuses and stop gap jobs is need ed to adjust returning soldiers to civilian life was taken up by a medical major general in Phila- delphia who told the American Psy- chiatric Association that the real problem is to adjust the commun- ity to the CI.
 If useful places are not found for demobilized soldiers in civilian life, they may join clannish and adven- furous veterans groups along the lines of Hitler's storm troops, Maj. Gen. George B. Chisholm, medical director of the Canadian army, told the mental disease experts.
 ssThe most damaging thing that could happen to the returned sol dier and to the community would be for him to find himself not wanted and not regarded as valu- able asset. To give him money or even to provide him with stop gap job will fall far short of these requirements. To become a useful civilian citizen he will have to feel of value. This will require very careful planning and very generous and serious implementatiOn.'
 If this not accomplished, he went on, the results would be disastrous the soldier, remembering his former status in the army, will associate with his own kind and will begin to feel that civilians generally are his ene- mics. Remember that Hitler's first storm troop battalions were formed by returned German soldiers, who were given no roots in postwar ci- william life and felt bitterly hostile to- ward homefront people, he warned.
 tsThe returned soldier can never go back to being the civilian he was before the war;" Chisholm ended. ssWhat he has gone through for the sake of the community cannot be paid for in terms of dollars. He has changed deeply. His require ments of the community in which he lives will have changed. He and there are millions of him will expect civilians to live up to these requirements

Unions lnIransportation Get Better Wages
Report To F.D.R. Blasts Theory Lower Rates
 Are Justified

In the U. s. transportation in- dustry, the stronger unions get the best wage rates, the Board of In- vestigation & Research reported to President Roosevelt and Congress this week. The boards statement was made in its study of hourly rates by occupations in the trans pOrtatiOn industry as provided in the federal act of l94O.
 The report effectively blasted the favorite theory of Southern employ CTS that lower rates are justified in the Southern states because of the climate reducing both the cost of living and enploye efficiency.
 Cost of living is not synohomous with level, standard or plane of liv- ing. Contrary to general opinion, the purchase price of given plane of living does not vary greatly between the east, west and south-there are greater variations within each dis trict than between districts, and inter regional differences appear to have narrowed in recent years,'' the re- port said
 In tabulation of wage levels of weighted average hourly rates for Class motor and railroad car riers, the board showed the U. S. total for railroads at 78c, for the east at 81c, the west 77c and the south 73c. In the bus industry the U. s. average and the casts were 75c, the west 8Oc and the south Gle. For truckers it was 68c as a U. s. average, 71c in the east, 67c in the west and 53c in the south.

Rourke's first visit to the Tenn pie coincided with the weekly meeting of the business agents of the construction trades, and he was given a spontaneous ovation and asked to say a few words.
 Officers of other unions in the Temple, hearing that ROurke was in the building, invited him into their offices, and by the time Rourke was through greet ing the unionists, most of his voice and a good part of the day had gone.
