State Forum Of. Air Commended

President Collins Praises Della Selva's Scheduling
 Progressive Programs

Ralph Dellaselva, director of the ''COnnecticut Forum of the Air. received the warm praise of Timo- thy M. Collins, president of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, in the first anniversary program of the Forum, over several radio brOadcasting stations, participated in among others by Governor Ray mOnd E. Baldwin, Lieutenant Gov ernor Wilbert T. Snow and Leigh Danenberg, publisher of the Bridgeport Sunday Herald.
 There are many people" said Col lins, "who pay lip service to the need for free and frank discussion of perti- nent public issues, but few like Ralph Dellaselva who do something about it, and see that opportunities are pro- vided for bringing information to the public through weekly radio discus sions.
 ''I am glad, therefore, on behalf of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, to commend him for the ex- cellent programs on timely topics which he arranged for the COnnec- ticut Forum of the Air during the past year. We of organized labor are especially appreciative that some of these programs permitted us to present our views to the peo- pie of Connecticut
 The state federation head referred to the directors "praiseworthy enter prise" in inviting the Federation to furnish speakers for a discussion of the State Labor Relations Act when 1t was under consideration by the General Assembly.
 Among those who have spoken during the past year under the aus- pices of the "Connecticut Forum of the Air'' were Collins, Secretary Treasurer Harold V. Feinmark of the Federation, Nathan Sherman, editor of The Union Times; and James O'Kane, secretary-treasurer of the Connecticut Building and Construction Trades Council.

Would Encourage
 Violation Of Laws

SpOkesmen for the A.F.L. and for the Department of Labor have joined hands in opposing a dangerous bill now pending in Congress which would place a one-year limi- tatiOn. on back wage claims. The measure was assailed as giving a ''green light" to sweatshoppers and wage chis. elers.
 Introduced by Congressman John w. Gynne (Rep., Iowa the bill lays down a one-year limit on all types of damage suits under a number of Federal laws However, its real aim, union chiefs said, is to cripple the Wage-Hour Act and cut down the period in which workers car collect back wages chiseled from them by employers who violate the act.
 "COMPLETE ABROCATION''
 It was written in broader terms only to get it before the House Judiciary Committee, where it might receive ''friendly" recep- ton, union leaders declared. Had it been confined to the Wage-HOur law it would have gone to the House Labor Committee, which would have been more critical.
 Bad as a one-year limitation may be, an even worse feature of the meas ure is that it would permit states to write shorter limitation, thus free ing employers who have been cheated of wages legally due them.
 One of the strongest attacks on the measure came from L. Metcalfe Wall ing, administrator of the Wage-Hour Act. In a vast number of cases, he said, violations of the act do not come to light for several years, either be- cause workers hesitate to lodge com- plaints for fear of being fired or be- cause the Wage-Hour Division. with its inadequate staff, cannot make checkups promptly.
 Under the bill, he said, such em- ployes would lose all rights to back pay except for the year prior to starting court action. At present, the Wage-Hour Act has no time limit on back wage claims.
 "The one-year period constitutes a major abrogation of employees rights which Congress intended to assure, '" Walling declared. "Willful and fla grant violators are relieved of the major part of their liability.
 Furthermore, the proviso giving states freedom to reduce the limit will lead to competition among them to lower the protection as an attraction to low-wage employers, and thus un- dermine labor standards, throughout the country" Walling added.
 His position was supported by many labor witnesses, including Lewis C. Hines, AFL legislative representative, and officials of sev. eral affiliated unions, including the Ladies Garment Workers and the Machinists.
 However, like Walling, who sug- gested a three-year limitation as a compromise, the union spokesmen in- sisted that it should not be less than five years and that states should not be permitted to undercut the figure.

Red Magazine Denie,
Plans for New Reich
Based on Generals

~ the Associated Press.
MOSCOW, Feb. 22.-The Russian
magazine War and the Working
Glass yesterday characterized as a
myth" various reports in the for
eign press that Russia planned to
use captured German generals as
the nucleus OF a new German gov
ernment.
Naming number of foreign cor
respondents and writers who it said
had contributed to flood of "poi-
soned rumors," the magazine, which
has come to be regarded as an au-
thoritatiye reflector of official So
Wet policy, declared:
From nothing has been erected a
structure of lies. 1t should be known
that the Soviet Union, much more
than any other country, has suffered
from German aggression and has
invested the greatest shares in the
cause of Hitler's defeat and is anx-
ious to obtain a solution of the Ger
man problem making a revival of
German aggression impossible"
Prejudice Is Charged.
"Participants in the collective ere.
alton Of the myth Chat Russia
planned provisional German gov
ernment founded on the Free Ger
many Committee in Moscow and the
union Of German officers in the
Soviet Union) found common ground
in prejudice against the Soviet
Union,' the magazine charged.
This is behind the readiness of
George Axelson Of the New York
Times, Dorothy Thompson, Con-
stantine Brown and other European
experts to imagine and spread all
kinds of tales about Soviet policy
and the readiness of many editors
to publish these tales without a
twinge of conscience"
The magazine applied the term
poisoned rumor" to a dispatch
which it said had been written by
Harold Calender of the New York
Times Paris bureau, which quoted
diplomatic circles as saying the
Soviet Union was holding Field
Marshal Friedrich Won Paulus, cap
tured at Stalingrad, in reserve for a
Soviet-sponsored puppet German
government.
Mr.. AXelson was attacked for al
legedly discussing the union of Ger
man officers as if the officers saw
the possibility of preparing Germany
for future war. Mr.. Brown, Wash
ington Star columnist, was assailed
for observing that "the existence of
the Free Germany Committee pre-
sents destructive contradiction be-
tween the Allies"
Unhealthy Interest Claimed.
The publication scored Paul Ward
of the Baltimore Sun for express
ing an unhealthy interest in this
committee and attributed a SIM
liar view to William Phillips Simms
of the Scripps- s-Howard newspapers
"The known pro-Fascist paper,
the New York World Telegram,
stated in an editorial that the Soviet
Union is salvaging German mill
tarism with the aid of the Free
Germany Committee" the article
continued.
The magazine called Raymond
Daniel, New York Times corre-
spondent, malicious" for an al
legged statement that the Sofia trials
were an attempt by the Bulgarian
government ito iquidate it's political
opposition"
'The criminals themselves pleaded
guilty and confessed their crimes
in court" War and the Working
Glass said. I'VE see Daniel was
even more malicious than the monk
who called a pig a perch in order
to conceal his sin when eating meat.
He made an even more miraculous
