HOLLYWOOD, May 23.-l was
attempting to collect some sleep
on the sands of Santa Monica
when a large brunette walked up
and said: Guess what i am

This would not be unusual ex-
cept that the brunette is Jane
Russell, who last worked four
years ago in THE Outlaw" AL

been released, she has become a
national figure, if you get me.

The Robert to whom she refers
is her husband, Bob Waterfield

the UCLA football team. A debo-

Refugees Keep Up
With u. S. War Role


CAIRO.-Refugees returning to
their Greek and Yugoslav homes
from desert camps in the middle
east, where they have been
sheltered from the war for per-
iods IN to three years, have kept
up with Americas part in the
war with special service by the
Office of War Information's Carlo
bureau.
The refugees were assembled
in the middle east camps from
widely scattered points in their
homelands and they will scatter
as widely when they return. Be-
sides the refugees, Yugoslav and
Greek troops also receive a regu-
lar service from the owl.
In one month recently Yugo-
slav and Greek camps and troops
received 5000 booklets in Croat,
Slovene, Serbian and Greek, 700
news pictures, two large exhibit
ton pictures for each large camp
depicting life in the United States
and the American contribution to
the war, daily Owl morning and
evening news releases ad science
news letters, over 1000 U. S.
commercial publications, 1000 U.
S. Army news maps, translated
into Greek and Yugoslav, and a
large aount of educational mater
ial and cultural films.
Besides that the camps have
their own owl film circuit fea-
turing newsreels, Army features
and Owl shorts.

All of us can thank the neighbour
hood business man for doing a
whale of a wartime job. Short OF
help and with many empty shelves,
he has striven to give each family
it's fair share. He has labored late
and often over ration records and
changes in regulations. He has
been cooperative and uncomplain-
ing. Remembering those away
from the homes of the families he
serves, he keeps on buying War
Bonds-for keeps.
Your dealer has had plenty of
company in all walks of life :.

Management
Holds The Line

A speaker at recent Reli-
gion-Labor Luncheon in Column
bus said that his investigations
in a nationwide tour revealed
management no closer to eco
nomic democracy. He resignedly
predicted that it would take an
other Depression to bring man
agement to its senses.
The speaker pointed to accu-
sations of the Automobile In
dustry that Labor was trying to
muscle in" on management.
Until management realizes that
Labor has a legitimate voice in
the operation of industry, said
the speaker, we shall see con-
tinuation of the old conflict. The
speaker, a representative of the
Church, praised the c. l. 0. Ma
tional Industry Council Plan to
bring all segments of society to-
gether for true economic democ-
racy. If you are not yet familiar
with this plan (outlined in the
pamphlet REINFORCEMENT,
you should give it your serious
study. Some of the best minds
in the country say that G. I. o.
has found the way.

Terror Technique
Bockfires Agoin

WASHINGTON, April 2 -
(LPA)-There's a limit to the
crime that may be committed by
an employer in the name of free
speech.
So the Natl. Labor Relations
Board ruled last week when it
set aside results of an election
at Cleveland plants of Thomp-
son Products and Thompson Air
craft Products-both headed by
Frederick c. Crawford, former
president of the Natl. Assn. of
Manufacturers.
Crawford and his associates
conducted an anti-union cam
paign of terror, in consequence
of which both the Intl. Assn.
of Machinists-AFL and the Unit
ed Auto Workers-CIO lost an
election at the plants.
Newspapers Smear Union
Newspapers smearing unions
were distributed to the employees
along with letters signed by Of
ficials. Workers were called in
six times for rallies on company
time, at which the unions were
slandered further. They were
told that if the unions won, their
postwar jobs would be in jeop-
ardy. Also, they were ordered
to wear caps bearing anti-union
slogans.
era ford himself gave
speeches in which he warned
that a union victory would.
usher in strife, brawls and
trouble"
The company sought to de-
fend all these tactics as permis-
sible under the constitutional
guarantee of free Speech" but
the Board held that the COM
pany had obviously used its
economic power" to coercesthe
workers in violation of law. 1t
therefore held the election in
valid, so that the unions could
make a new effort, free of COM
pany terrorization.

WLB Mon Points Out
Coins For Labor

ASHIN GTON (LPA) -
Maintenance of membership is
a constructive influence in sta
bilizing union-management re-
lations," said Nathan P. Fem
singer, War Labor Board public
member. He told the Colorado
Labor Institute that, in addition
to the 1,750,000 workers under
maintenance of m e m b ership
clauses ordered by WLB, about
1000, 900 workers are protected
by such clauses voluntarily
placed in contracts by unions
and employers.

Army Fails To Follow
WLB Orders At Wards

WASHINGTON iLfA) - The
U. S. Supreme Courts decision
not to accede to requests by the
Justice Dept. to rule on Presi-
dent Roosevelt's seizure of the
Montgomery Ward properties
means it will take minimum
of a year before this case will

Govt. Admits
Warnings Abrupt

WASHINGTON, April 2 UPA)
The government last week
conceded the truth of what or
ganized labor has been contend
ing for almost a year-that war
production cutbacks frequently
come without any advance no.
tice and often so suddenly that
management can make no plans
for civilian production, and
workers with only a few hours
notice are out of their jobs.
A special study of the effects
Of war contract cutbacks made
by the Labor Dept. Bureau of
Labor Statistics reported that in
a survey of 80 plants "Cutback
notification tended to be abrupt;
in one-fourth of the cases the
cutbacks were effective imme-
diately upon receipt of the no.
tice and in more than half of
the cases notices of less than
month were given"
In some plants, management
was able to transfer workers to
other jobs not affected by the
cutback, but in nearly one-third
of these plants, said BIS, most
of the transferred workers were
downgraded and received signi-
ficant reductions in rates of pay.
AT two large establishments, the
average pay for all transferred
workers was reduced approxi-
mately 1917.

plan year earlier, declared that
Present organization of the
nation machine tooling facili-
ties which compels the indi-
vidual industry or plant to rely
primarily on their own tooling
facilities, results in serious de-
lays and tremendous waste of
skilled engineering and tech
nical personnel"
More Comparisons
In the past, the RFC state
ment continued, weeks or even
months sometimes elapsed be-
fore tools, not currently needed
in one operation, could be re-
leased for a different production
job. Under the trading pit
method, this time-lapse is re-
duced to days, and, in some
cases, even hours"
Reuther's proposal was to per-
nit non-profit sales, leasing or
renting of the machine tools.
RFC revealed that between Jan.
10 and March 8, 1945, "a total
of 4463 items have been author
lied to be sold, transferred or
leased to contractors engaged in
war work"
There's another difference be-
tween the two plans.
The 1945 version was "de-
veloped" by RFC production en-
gineers with the help of the
Army technical services, Navy
bureaus and procurement Off
GERS, the u. S. Maritime Com
mission and the War Production
Board.
The 1914 plan was developed
by Reuther and the UAW.

Profits Is
NAM Plan

WASHINGTON, April 2
GPA) - The profits first"
boys are finding solace in a
Natl Assn of Manufacturers
policy statement attacking
OPA's pledge to keep prices
down as industries reconvert to
production of peacetime goods.
Unless they can get a good,
juicy profit on every item they
manufacture, NAM industrialists
and 100 manufacturers of all
kinds of goods worked on the
policy statement - will 60 on
strike. That is exactly what the
NAM reconversion committees
announced in bulletin publish
ed here last week.
Physical reconversion of
plants to peacetime production
will be simple, the NAM de-
clares, compared with the job of
getting profit-insuring prices on
everything they make.
Must Modify Pricing
There is no prospect" they
quote manufacturers as saying,
"of putting these new products
p r o m p ly into reconversion
period production and employ
ing men, until the civilian pric-
ing policy is modified. 1t is
plain common sense, that no
man will rush into making goods
for little, or nothing, or a loss.
Under such policy, the sooner
and larger his start, the sooner
and more completely he goes
broke"
Chief brunt of the NAM at
tack is borne by OPA Admins
traitor Chester Bowles, who has
been fighting for extension of
the Price Control Act and for
Congressional approval of con-
tinued funds for the agency.
Bowles' reconversion policy, as
enunciated some months ago,
calls for high wages, low prices,
and full production as the COM
ponents of a healthy postwar
economy.
Kick About Ceilings
The manufacturers kick es-
pecially hard about OPA's policy
of not allowing price rises on
civilian goods when the same
company is making profits on
war orders. The NAM would
demand that a profit be allowed
on every single item made.
While the committee proposals
have been circulated in NAM
publications, no active effort has
been made to present them as
NAM proposals before Congress
sional committees. Individual
Senators and Qongressmen with |
strong NAM les have, however,
been echoin& the NAM line in |
recent debafes on pricing policy. /

Escape Period
Aids Union

DETROIT, Mich. - During
the recent fifteen day escape
period" ordered. by the War La
Dor Board in General Motors
plants, the UAW-CIO gained
more members than it lost, Wal
ter P. Reuther, vice-president of
the UAW-CIO and director of
its GIN department, announced.
The WLB directive of March
3 granted the UAW-CIO con-
tinuance of its maintenance of
membership clause in more than
100 GIN plants under contract
with the union.
However, it fixed a Is day
period, starting March 5, during
which workers might resign
from the union. Failure to re-
sign during that period, under
the WLB directive, meant that
membership in good standing
would have to be maintained for
a year as a condition of en-
ployment.
Show Net Gain
I'VE have just completed a
poll of the GIN plants and locals
covered by our contract" Reu-
ther said. 1T shows that
of the approximately 295,O00
UAW-CIO members in GIN
plants, only 784 utilized the 'es-
cape period to withdraw from
the union. During the same
period, our GIN locals enrolled
1 ,698 new members. This means
a net gain of 984 members.
Virtually every GIN local
union enrolled more members
than it lost. OF the 784 who re-
signed from the union, 397 did
so because of extreme resent
ment against War Labor Board
failure to adjust plant wage

leaders that a severe dislocation
to the nations economy would
occur il. hundreds of thousands
of workers were fired to make
way for veterans with less sem
iority.
Labor In Agreement
Labor found quick agreement
with the arbitrator's statement
that "The advantage which the
interpretations set out in Memo
randum 1904 would seemingly
give the veteran would, in the
end, not profit him. The well
fare of the veteran requires that
he be assimilated as speedily as
may be. Anything which serves
to keep him differentiated and
apart will do injury to him no
less than to the community. Yet
exactly that would result from
any rule which would give to
veterans a claim on jobs su-
perior to all civilians"
The arbitrator concluded that
under the union contract mo
employe can be displaced to
make room for a returned vet
eran if, after crediting the vet
eran with the seniority so accu-
mulated, such employe still has
the greater seniority" This pro-
vision, he said finally, is not in
conflict with the Selective Serv-
ice Act.

ment to hold the meeting worth
while"
Must Have Meeting
Other sentiments ranged from
the desire of hopeful delegates
to attend a UAW convention to
the claims of some UAW mem
bers that a convention was alb
solutely necessary this year.
Typical of the ideas of the
latter group was the statement
of one worker who said, "Our
union is just as necessary to the
war effort as the soldiers who
handle the supplies for the armye
We need convention this year
as much or more than ever.
eff we are refused, it would
be enough to create suspicion
that possibly someone in the
union did not want us to meet
this year. If our top officers
want us to have a convention.
we will have it. If they are
opposed to us meeting, chances
are that the government will
say no to our application"
Discussion of the Adde's plan
for the Grand Rapids will prob
ably be discussed in Local Union
meetings throughout all sections
of the country with some result
ing protests either by the Locals
or by individual members of the
organization.

COP Looks Ahead

WASHINGTON (LPA) - AL
ready tackling the 1946 cam
paign, the Republican Party
plans to spend $750,000, it was
revealed by National Chairman
Herbert Brownell, Jr. last week.
Apparently taking its cue from
labor's successful election activ-
tiles last November, the money
will be spent in such activities
as hiring a full-time between
campaigns radio director, the
first in COP history; establish
ing coordination with senatorial
and congressional workers; and
beginning a drive for small con-
tributions "to spread the load
over the large mass of Republi-
can voters"
