Living Standard Should Now Rise 5O%, AFL Says
Continuous Buying Power Needed To Keep Industry
 From Tailspin

Washington (LPA)-The Amer ican Federation of Labor this week proclaimed as its postwar goal: Gull production, full employment and a living standard 50 per cent higher than any this country has yet known"
 In launching crusade for a so per cent boost in living standards, the A.F.L. cited the fact that Reconver- sion Director John w. Snyder and his predecessor, Fred M. Vinson, had both declared such an objective must be attained to bring about full pro- duction in this country.
 ''To reach this goal will require intelligent planning and action on the part of unions, managements. farmers and all others concerned in our country's economic Iife," the AFL declared in it's research publication known as "Labor's Monthly Survey.'
 Representatives of unions and man. agement must work together for this end; communities must organize their representative groups to cooperate for it. Winning full employment, through a quick reconversion, requires just as much patriotism and high purpose as winning the war. ..
 American industry stands at the crossroads. In all the history of modern industrial life 1t has never yet been possible to reach full em- plOyment in peacetime and main- tain it.
 "The huge volume of pent-up consumer savings will give indus try home market for a short time. It may even create postwar boom.

Wallace's Labor
 Day Statement

Following is the Labor Day state ment of Sec. of Commerce Henry A. Wallace:
 Labor Day of 1945 holds a double significance: It marks the triumphant completion of the greatest production task in the worlds history and it finds the labor movement sharing with every other part of our population the challenge of shaping and preserving the peace that we have won.
 "The entire nation takes occasion this Labor Day to honor the men and women whose work or the industrial front produced the ships and planes and munitions without which this war could not have been won. The tribute will be rightly deserved, for it has been hard won.
 "As it accepts this honor, however, l know that labor will not forget that victory in itself was not the final goal. We sought the victory so that we could go on and build a peace that would not fail, a peace of justice and security and freedom. The end of war marks the beginning of the attempt to win the future.

was awarded the Bronze Star Medal
for heroic achievement in action on
the Fifth Army front during the

ward. When a mine field was en-
countered he went ahead alone to
mark a safe path for his men, for
500 yards, and as result his pla-

suffering casualties.
From this point Dupuy delivered
thanking fires on nearby enemy po-

superior court, with Judge Gordon
Farley presiding.
Calixtro, honorably discharged
World War II veteran and former
Nogales hotel clerk, is on trial on a
charge of numbering his father-in-
law, Herman c. Bender, rs, whose
badly battered body was found in
the Big Jim mine shaft near Har-
shaw in April.
Each witness put on the stand by
the state is being put through a
thorough cross examination by the
young mans attorney in effort to
break down the prosecution case.
The trial is expected to last longer
than that of Mrs. Librada Lopez
Bender, who was found guilty last
week of a first degree murder
charge, growing out of the death OF
her husband, Herman c. Bender.
The Librada Bender trial lasted
five days. That of CaliXtro will be
in it's fifth day tomorrow. There is
a probability the case may not
reach the jury until next week since
Attorney Karam, counsel for Calix-
tro, is devoting more time to cross
examination than did Miss Mary
Stella Rosenberg, who was attorney
for Mrs. Bender.
Arias On Stand -
Benito Arias, II, nephew of Mrs.
Bender, again took the stand when
court re-convened at $50 am, yes
terday following the 4th of July
holiday. He began testifying Tues
day afternoon. He was under cross
examination by Attorney Karam
until 11:15 am, yesterday and was
followed by his cousin, Ricardo Ro-
driguez, Is.
Arias gave practically the same
testimony that he did at the Ben
der trial, declaring Calixtro struck
the aged man with an iron pipe,
and told the two boys to strike him
and threatened to kill them if they
refused.
Ricardo Rodriguez, who followed
Arias on the stand, testified that he
hit Bender with an iron pipe and
the two dragged him up hill and
threw his body into the mine shaft.
He also said CaliXtro directed them
to tie the pipe on Bender's body so
it would sink.
Rodriguez declared that on the
way down the hill after throwing
the old man into the shaft, Calix-
tro said, PLEASE don't implicate me.
because my wife is pregnant, and IL
you DO I'll have three or four men
across the line kill you, if I can't. ="
Asked by Attorney Karam about
a statement made to the county at

which he did not mention Calixtro,

neighboring Utah Beach, became
the scene Of a historic epic in mill
