Smear Story

New York-(FP) .-Praising labor's
generous support to his organization,
Chairman Basil O'Connor of the
American Red Cross Dec. IL de-
nounced erroneous and misleading
statements" about the Embarrassing
agreement between the Red Cross and
war relief committees of the AFL
and CIO.
"There was never any secrecy about
this agreement" O'Connor asserted.
"The agreement involves no kick
back or pay in any sense to the la
Dor war relief committees"
O'Connor's statement, coming after
similar denials by Mrs. Eugene Mey-
er, wife of the Washington Post pub
Usher, and AFL Pres. William Green,
gave the final blow to rumors circu-
lated by anti-labor newspaper column
lists that the unions were demanding
kickbacks as their price for support
of the Red Cross.
|. After U. S. entry into the war,
O'Connor said, the AFL League for
Human Rights and the Natl. CIO War
Relief Committee agreed to merge
their proposed Embarrassing activities
with those of the Natl. War Fund and
the American Red Cross. An agree
ment was reached in 1912 providing
that the actual expenses of the en-
ployes of the labor war relief commit
tees engaged fulltimei in the fund
raising campaigns of the Natl. War
Fund and the Red Cross would be
divided between the two organizations
and reimbursed to the labor commit
tees on an annual basis.
"After full discussion and careful
consideration the original agreement
was approved by the central commit
tee of the American Red Cross"
O'Connor said. Thereafter, the agree
men has been reviewed annually and
approved by the central committee.
All chapters of American Red Cross
concerned were informed of the ar
rangement and were given copies of
the agreement.
"In addition, and to insure effective
operation Of the planning the subject
was fully discussed at meetings of the
larger city chapters of American Red
Cross held in Washington, and at
regional and area conferences on
Embarrassing held throughout the U.
S. The extensive labor press, with
more than 800 publications, gave wide
spread publicity to the agreement in
numerous articles and editorials.
"In these circumstances, to assert
that secrecy of the arrangement could
have been intended or achieved is as
absurd as it is unfounded."

RdllY Asks AFL
To Join WFTU

New York-(FP).-A mass rally
of AFL workers Dec. planned re-
newed drive to win AFL support for
the World Federation Of Trade Unions
and heard first-hand reports from OBJ
servers at the recent WFTU conven-
tion in Paris.
Held by the Committee for AFL
Participation in the WFTU, composed
of about SEQ AFL officials, the meet
ing was addressed by Nick Lazari of
Pittsburgh Local 237, Hotel & Restau-
rant Employees Init. Alliance, and
Charles Collins, executive secretary Of
the Negro Labor Victory Committee
and an AFL official, both Of whom
attended the WFTU convention.
Lazari called on all AFL members
to speak up in their unions for partici-
patton in the WF'TU to "force the AFI
leaders to listen to the clanor Of our
1000, 900 members" Collins, who went
as an observer for Negro organiza-
tions, said the colonial peoples looked
with great hope to the WFTU and
pointed out it was the first time dele
gates from oppressed nations were
present at such a worldwide gather
ing.
Another speaker was Vice Pres.
John Goodman Of Building Service
Employees Intl. Union, whose union
voted at its last convention to ask
the AFL to join the WFTU. Goodman
said his union would continue to fight
for such action and called on the AFL

fought? 1t that the answer to 3,000,-
600 veterans who are in the immediate
need of establishing new homes and
setting up new families? Will Con-
gress give this answer to over 6,OC0,-
900 of the 100000 veterans who
will be in dire need of housing within
a year?
"Nor will labor accept any tenn
porary or makeshift program for the
provision of housing to meet the i'm
mediate emergency as the real an
swer to the veterans demand for per-
manent homes. Stop-gap housing
must be provided at once on tenn
porary basis to relieve the immediate
pressure for dwelling accommoda-
tions. But let me impress. upon this
committee that the real solution is
the long-term solution, the bold and
comprehensive solution which S. 1892
provides. Housing will continue to be
perennial and permanent problem
for the families of veterans, for their
children, for those for whom they
fought-housing which is not make
shift, but durable, livable and within
the reach of the incomes these fam
lilies will earn.
Labor and friends of labor place
the responsibility of Americas post
war reconstruction where it probably
belongs-they place it squarely upon
hot
bility on Congress here and now. For
they know that on the legislative cal
endar of this postwar session of the
United States Congress there is no
other measure which will give direct
and positive aid to private enterprise,
to local communities, and to the mass
of our people, to help them achieve
full production, full employment and
a better living in the years to come"

Wins Claim

LANSING March 6-Despite
the protests, OF former Auditor
Gen. Brown, the state court of
claims today awarded $500 10
Prof. Robert w. Kelso Of the
University of Michigan.
The payment was for a survey
Kelso made three years ago of
the state welfare commission az
the request of former Gov. Van
Wagner. Brown rejected the
claim on the ground that KelSo
was drawing $1,000 annually from
the university and could not be on
two state pay rolls.
In awarding the money, how
ever, Circuit Judge Fred T. Miles
held that Van Wagner had no
authority TO authorize payment
but inaSmuch as the state re-
ceivcd the benefits from the
survey, il should pay.

A Brilliant Season

The Community Concert Associations sea-
son closed brilliantly on Monday night when
Robert Weede, Metropolitan baritone, capt.
waited his auditors not only with his magnl-
ficant performance but also with his selection
of songs and arias.
This has been the most successful and best
attended season of the association in m n y
lovers by the score hold the same opinion.
It bodies we'll for good music in Wilmington
as time passes There is no imaginative touch
in the thought that next year will be better,
and the year after that still better with i'm
provement in each succeeding season as the
number of subscribers increases and greater
artists may be engaged.
The concert association is doing a splendid
job in developing music appreciation among
Wilrningtonians When the world again enjoys
peace and life generally becomes normal, it
is fair to think that because the people have
discovered the rich rewards lodging in music
there will be even greater appreciation of it
and larger attendance upon musical perfor-
mances, which could lead to the engagement
of the nations great symphony orchestras
and even the creation Of a fine symphony
organization at home.
If this is brought about, as it richly deserves
to be, the Wilmington Concert Association will
have had major part in it.

Celebrations Later

| Persons who have been expecting General
Eisenhower to proclaim VE-Day when Allied
Armies in the west of Germany join Russian
forces from the east, and this means about
everybody. naturally are disappointed at the
Generals announcement that the 1onged-for
! day will not arrive until Germany has been
completely occupied and all major pockets
of resistance cleaned out.
Certainly there can be no Victory Day be-
fore the enemy as a whole is defeated. To
celebrate it prematurely would be anti-climax.
General Eisenhower has done well to clear
up this wrong impression.
Any celebration, however seriously conduct
ed, inevitably would tend to weaken the war
effort on the home front and jeopardize the
very thing the event ostensibly would cele-
brate.
AS long as Germans are fighting in regu-
larly constituted units there can be no claim
of victory Only when the last organized unit
whether army group or battalion, has laid
down its arms will it be either safe wise
to consider the victory achieved. And it be-
comes more and more apparent that this
happy situation probably cannot come in the
immediate future.
Despite the way German soldiers are sur
rendering there is still stubborn fighting
ahead. The fanatical Nazi elements in the
German armies, still looking upon Adolf Hit
Ter as a dem-god and clinging to his preach
ments on a super-race, will continue as long
as they have guns and can find shells for
them
In the broader sense the war in Germany
is now won, but in a literal sense it is not
Eisenhower believes there will never be a
formal surrender. In that event. mass cele-
brations will be in proper order only when
the German people have created governing
body capable of accepting terms at the peace
table.

Needed In Washington

James F. Byrnes' announcement that he has
no plans to come back into government serv.
ice is SO disappointing that the vast majority
of Americans will hope he can be dissuaded.
Mr.. Byrnes possesses such knowledge of do.
nestle and international affairs that President
Truman and the nation need him.
He has earned the right to retire, If past
services were the only consideration. But il
is questionable if any man fitted for a parti-
GUAR job is justified in stepping out so long
as he is needed and still physically able to
continue.
Conscientious above the average, Mr. Byrnes
may still come to understand that he has
an obligation for service.
We in the South are particularly interested
In his ultimate decision inasmuch as we have
no one in a top position at Washington. This
is not so much that we seek geographical pre-
ferment, as such but because the South, sc
long neglected by government, deserves a share
in shaping domestic policies because Of its
economic possibilities for the future and its
present worth.

Check Your Brakes

Traffic accidents have taken the lives Of
more than three quarters of million human
beings in the nation during the past Is years,
up economic losses running into billions Of
dollars Traffic accidents have achieved the
distinction of being one of the leading causes
of death in this country.
At time when all young men under thirty
years of age, regardless of essentially OF &C.
cupation, face induction into the armed forces,
loss of life through traffic accidents is in
excusable and represents scandalous waste
OF our first weapon OF war-manpower.
The condition of the vehicle does enter into
with cars nearly twice as old on the average
as they were in pre-war days, it is high
on the list of those causes which contribute
not only to the frequency of automobile ac-
cidents, but to their severity. Brakes that
fail to hold at the critical moment. steering
gear failures, blow-outs, faulty 1ights-all
these help to swell the accident total.
Loss of manpower through accidents, cou-
pied with the tremendous problem Of conserv-
ing motor vehicles, has prompted the Inter-
national Association of Chiefs of Police to
launch nationwide brake-check program. 1t
started on Sunday and will be concluded June
l. During that time, traffic officers through
out the country will check passenger cars
involved in accidents, those in traffic viola.
tons in which cars are moving, and vehicles
operated in a manner indicating faulty
brakes.
Motorists can assist by getting their brakes
and other parts of the car-tested and re-
paired as occasion demands. With public CO.
operation, the program will accomplish its
impressive two-fold objective: saving of our
most essential home-front weapon of war
transportation-and prevention of the loss Of
thousands of lives and limbs.

and parting, poetry springs from founts with
in the coul, not from schooling. The natural
poet may improve his product through stucy
but without natural gift and unless the spark
of divine talent is lighted by inspiration, the
alleged poetry Of the aspirant for Shakes

doggeral
We cannot imagine Shakespeare, or Dante,

Shelley. Keats, Goldsmith. Wadsworth, even
