KiIgore Bill Action

tary Affairs Committee a. The CLIO
NEWS went to press. with indi-
cations Of a quick favorable report.
This comes after long stalling on
the Kilgore bill, which was left a.
Unfinished Business No. on the
Congressional agenda at the time
Of the recess.
The Kilgore and Murray bills
provide for a national, planned ap-
proach to the re-conversion prob
lem, as well as providing help to
demobilized war workers and re-
turning veterans.
It is this part Of the bill that
bothers George. Just as polltaxer
Rep Rankin fought the "GI Bill"
In the House because its unemploy-
ment benefits were too big for his
taste. so George is trying to choke
off the Kilgors bill for the same
reason.
The KilgOre and Murray bills
provide up to $35 week benefits
for q worker with dependents.
TO George and his fellow poll
takers, this is revolution. Its
even possible that workers In the
polltax South might get ideas
about their wage scales from II.
Meantime. CLIO members are
urged by Pres. Murray to keep
plugging for the Kilgore bill as the
best approach TO a rational plan
for the change-over from war to
peace production and as an aid to
war production now.
