u. 5. Stops Ferrying
Planes From India
Because Of Weather
By the Associated Press,

By the Associated Press.
The War Department yesterday
said the ferrying of American air.
planes from India to the Shanghai
area of China has been stopped be-
cause of bad weather which caused
the loss of several planes and their
crews.
In reply to newsmen's questions
about reports that 700 Army Air
Force planes were being delivered
to the Nationalist government, a
War Department spokesman re-
ferred questioners to news confer
ence in China by It. Gen. Albert C.
Wedemeyer, commander OF Amer
lean forces in that area.
Wedemeyer's explanation was that
some American planes were being
collected in the Shanghai area
where, said the general, the Chinese
could buy them if they so desired
The War Department had nothing
to add to this explanation.
To questions about the loss of men
and planes, the Army spokesman
replied that "all AAF installations
are operating on peacetime flying
safety regulations, which do not
permit taking unnecessary risks.
Because of adverse weather condi-
tions over there which resulted in
the loss of several planes and their
crews, the program of moving these
planes from India to China has
been discontinued"
Chinese Communist leaders have
protested what they said was Amer
ican aid being given the Nationalist
government OF Generalissimo Chi
ang Kai-shek.

Speedy Action on UN0
Asked After Senate :
Defeats Amendment
ly the Associated Press.

As inc AssoCldbeu FFeSSs
Senate leaders called for more
voting and less talking today in
the hope of pushing the United
Nations bill through and sending
1t to the House.
Cheered by a 41-to-l8 initial VIC
tory, Chairman Connally of the
Foreign Relations Committee pre-
dicted Senate passage of the meas
ure exactly as recommended by his
committee.
In that form it authorizes the
President to appoint this country's
delegate to UNO's Security Council
and prepares the way for making
American troops available to the
projected world police force against
aggression.
What we need is more voting and
less talking" Senator Hill of Ala
baina, Democratic whip. told a re-
porter. fif
Senators Hill and Connally teamed
up at closing time yesterday in an
effort to obtain unanimous agree
ment to vote at 1890 pm. today on
an amendment offered by Senator
Donnell. Republican, of Missouri.
But Senators Donneu and Wheeler,
Democrat, of Montana objected.
The Missouri Republican spoke
for several hours in support of his
proposal to require two-thirds SEN
ate approval of any agreement to
furnish American troops to UNO.
Senator Donnel contended negotia-
tions by the President on that sub
tect constituted treaty.
AS drawn, the bill would permit
approval by simple majority of
both House and Senate.
Yesterdays first vote after four
days Of speech-making rejected an
amendment by Senator Taft, Re-
publican, of Ohio seeking to guide
votes of the United States delegate
to UNO's Security Council. Seven
teen Republicans and one Democrat,
Senator Wheeler, supported it while
35 Democrats and six Republicans
teamed to defeat the restriction.
Senator Connally said this would
be the high point on any amend
ment and added that less than II
votes would be cast against final
Senate approval
A dozen other proposed restric-
tions awaited consideration, but
some may be abandoned as a result
of the Taft amendments defeat.
Senator Taft originally had Of
fered three amendments, but just
before the test vote he reduced them
to one. which would have required
that the United States representa-
tive on the Security Council vote
"in accord with international Justice
as well as international peace and
security"
Senator Taft explained that he
feared the council might find it
necessary to "erase" some smaller
nation in interests of world peace.
He said 1t was proper for Congress
to set up mild rules" to guide both
the President and the delegates.

Social Security Card Not
For Check Cashing

Occasional complaints, which tend
to become more numerous at the holi-
day seasons, that social security ac-
count number cards are improperly
used as Identification for check-cash-
ing purposes. today led Mary A. Lloyd
manager Of the Hamilton, Ohio office
of the Social Security Board, to issue
the following cautionary statement:
"The social security account number
card is not intended to serve as iden-
tification for check-cashing purposes,
and should not be accepted as such.
"A social security card is issued to
any person who applies for it. 1t is is
sued for one purpose, and only one.
That is to identify social security
account on which the wage record Of
the possessor may be posted as credit
toward old-age and survivors insur-
ance benefits. The account number is
used with the persons name to identi-
fy his social security account, because
many people have the same name but
no two can have .the same number.
The Social Security Board, in paying
benefits, requires that the beneficiary
identify himself fully"

lis NBC Radio Stations
Carrying AFL Program

Washington, D. C.-More than lis
radio stations from coast to coast are
now carrying the AFL's america
United" radio program regularly each
week, the National Broadcasting Co.
reported to the Federation.
"Our records do not show any sus-
tanning program, other than the Army
Hour, which has ever had compara-
BILE acceptance" Dwight B. Herrick,
manager of NBC's public service de-
partment, said.
Because of prior commitments for
commercial broadcasts, some of the
stations on the NBC chain find it i'm
possible to carry America United when
it is originally broadcast. Many Of
these stations, however, have arranged
to put on the program at a later hour
or the following day. Those who would
like to hear these weekly programs,
therefore, are urged to consult the
radio listings in their daily papers
for the exact time America United
goes on the air in their home COM
munities.

GRAVE CHANGE

The American Federation of Labor
has made very serious charge against
heads of the Army and Navy, a
charge that up to this writing they
have made no real attempt to refute.
The federation says that it has ire
peatedly offered cooperation to Army
and Navy chiefs to supply manpower
where needed"
eve have asked them," it adds "to
give us lists of the plants with man
power shortages and the skills requir-
ed. No manpower needs can be filled
without this information. But only
once have they given us lists and al
lowed us to cooperate. On all other
occasions they have refused, and talk
ed only in general terms of huge
manpower need.
after Gen. Somervell's address to
our convention last November, we
were given a list of 83 war plants
needing $4,000 workers. At once we
had our representatives contact the
plants to supply workers. All these
needs have either been filled or are
being filled"
The federation further charges that
in some cases it was found that man.
power needs were greatly exaggerat-
ed." 1t cites instances of this exagge-
ration and asks, in view of these ex-
periences, "are all claims of manpower
shortage genuine 2"
1t looks to any fair minded person
that the AFL charge must be proved
false or the military heads stand con-
victed of virtual sabotage of the war
production program.

vested. The Secretary will find out
from these people how it feels to
watch their money grow, just as pur-
chasers of War Bonds today will be
realizing the increased value of their
investments ten years hence.
The theme of the whole program
will be The thrift phase of Benjamin
Franklin's life, and it's relation to to-
days problems. Franklin's observa-
tions on thrift will be tied-in with the
present War Bond program. The spon-
sors of the program are foregoing
their commercial announcements so
that more Of the broadcast can be de-
voted to War Bonds.

COUNCIL TELEGRAM
TO SENATORS

phic message to the U. S. Senate:
To All U. S. Senator's:
The Executive Council of the Am
erican Federation of Labor Respect
fully Requests You to Vote Against
the May Bill and in Favor of the Taft
Substitute Measure.
This Action of the Executive Coun-
ell is Based Upon the Fact that the
May Bill Provides for Compulsion and
Involuntary Servitude and Subjects
Civilian Workers to Military Control,
While the Taft Measure Provides for
Voluntary Service and Control of Civil
liam Workers by Civilian Agencies Set
Up by the Government.
The Advisory Committee to Direc-
tor of War Mobilization Byrnes IMAM
imously Expressed Opposition to the
May Bill with its Compulsory Features
and in Favor of Administration of
Man-Power During the War by the
War Manpower Commission and 9th
er Civilian Agencies.
Passage of the May Bill Would Ser
iously Affect the Morale of Civilian
Workers and Would Serve to Lower
Efficiency and Cause Widespread Re-
sentiment Among the Workers of the
Nation. Passage of the Taft Sub
stitute Would Serve to Increase Effic-
iency, Build Morale and Increase War
Material Production.
Let the Workers of the Nation Con-
tinue to Demonstrate that Free Labor
is More Efficient Than Forced Com
pulsory Labor.
The Executive Council Earnestly
Urges You to Respond to this Appeal
Made in Behalf of the Millions of
Loyal Workers Who are Represented
by the American Federation of Labor.

DRAFT CAPITAL, TOO!
(Editorial)

Free American Labor has done a
magnificent job during this war. 1t
has performed an unbelievable miracle
of production. This is not guess-work
American working people have come
from behind to outstrip the slave
labor of Germany by wide margin
Production schedules are increasing
every month. Fewer workers are turn
ing out more and more war materials.
That is happening right here in Seat
tie where the Boeing plants, with few
er employees, are building more BIOS.
We know full well that we have a
heavy duty to perform. We know that
this is our war, that the Army and
Navy are made up of the sons and
daughters of working people.
We are told now that war produc-
tion is not good enough A bill has
been prepared to draft labor for work
in the war plants.
American Labor is not convinced
that a labor draft is necessary, or
that it will result in increased pro-
duction. 1t is suspicious of the Con-
gressmen who are trying to use this
bill as means for strangling Unions
We can recall the days after World
War One, when the American Legion,
and many other organizations of Vet
Grams, adopted resolutions demanding
that, in the event of another war,
Capital as we'll as fighting men and
workers be drafted.
What's wrong with that idea? If
we have come to an emergency which
calls for the drafting of working men
for the war plants, then why not
draft Capital, owners and manage
ment as we'll?
When there are no more profits in
war industries, when owners and man
ayers are drafted, too, then American
workers will see the logic of labor
draft. But not until then.
1t is one thing to call on free Amer
lean working people for still greater
efforts. That is the American way;
it will get results.
1t is quite another thing to con-
script men to work in war plants

tion for what he can get out of it
We hope this breed is dwindling.

William Green, president, Ameri-
can Federation of Labor: "The work
ing people of the nation have develop
ed a new sense of appreciation of the
service rendered by the American Red
Cross. The Red Cross has never fail
ed those whom it has been called upon
to serve. We at home must not fail
the Red Cross. l respectfully urge
every member of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor to respond to the
call of the Red Cross for funds to car
ry on its work during the year 1945."
The Butler County press. [volume] (Hamilton, Ohio) 1900-1946, 1945-02-16

In order to maintain American
living standards, labor insists that
wage rates keep pace with inevitable
wartime increases in prices Of necessi-
ties of life. Let no one tell you that
labor seeks to profit from the war by
obtaining wage increases. Such ad-
justments in wages as labor demands
are for the purpose of maintaining
and preserving American standards
of life.-William Green.
