Feinmark Urges For

 Japs, He Says

Full support for the Seventh War Loan Drive is urged by Har- old V. Feinmark, secretary-treas- urer of the Conn. Federation of La- bor. In letter sent to all affiliates of the Federation, Feinmark says:
 "We of the Connecticut Federation of Labor rejoice with all our Allies on the passing of VIE day. How ever-as our President Truman, and President Green of the American Federation of Labor, have already said-'the war is only one-half won. We must now concentrate all our efforts to a decisive defeat of the treacherous Jap.
 "We are now in the midst of the Mighty Seventh War Loan Drive which must finance the undertaking in the Pacific.

 "This commission represents the heart of the matter" Stettinius said. Pointing out that the four sponsoring governments agreed it was impossible for the conference, in the short time 1t has, to obtain agreement on a bill of rights suitable to 4o nations of di- verse social systems, environments and traditions, he said the U. S. hoped the human rights commission would undertake that job.
 Stettinius said the Four Free doms stated by the late Pres. Roose- welt ''are from the point of view of the U.S., fundamental freedoms which encompass all other rights and freedoms.'' Freedom from want, he said, encompasses the right to work, the right to social security and the right to oppor- tunity for advancement" This is noteworthy since early in the con- ference Russian proposals that the right to work be included in the charter met strong opposition from

A.F.L. Proposes Committees To
 Aid Unemployed
Urges Central Labor Bodies And State Federation
 To Give Help

Washington, D. GAEL Presi- dent William Green this week called on all State Federations and Central Labor Councils to help the spread of unemployment hardships during re- conversion.
 He urged these local AFL agen- cies to set up Social Security Com mittees which would be required to assist disemp1oyed workers to obtain such benefits as existing, inadequate unemployment compensation laws provide, MT. Green emphasized:
 Pointing out that cancellation of war contracts will soon throw thou sands out of work, MT. Green added
 Tt is the responsibility of organ ized labor to its members and to the nation to make sure that this immi- nent unemployment of a large huber of workers and their dependents is, met with effective safeguards against distress.
 If we had a unified national un- employment insurance program in ef- feet, and would be better able to take care of the needs of workers during this period of readjustment. We do not have such a program in effect, however, so it becomes imperative that every union, every City Central Body, and every State Federation of Labor be prepared to assist its members in ironing out difficulties and in cutting red tape so that if they become un- employed they will be able to secure the maximum benefits to which they are entitled.
 The state unemployment compen- sation agencies have repeatedly gone on record to the effect that their re- serve funds are adequate to meet these needs. It is of the utmost i'm portance now and in the days ahead to see that these funds are used for the purpose for which they have been laid aside and that they are made available to pay benefits to the work CTS on the basis of their established rights"
 MT. Green outlined the following steps for the Social Security Commit tees of local and state branches to take:

 At the same time Collins criti- cized a conference he attended re- gently in Waterbury that was ar- ranged by the Industrial Reconver- sion Committee on the ground that it ''was geared to interest manu- lecturers and no other group" He referred to an announcement made by the chairman that similar meet ings would be held in Bridgeport, New Haven,- Hartford and New London or Norwich, and declared that if they were of the same char acter ''labor would have little to gam Dy atteHulHS'

Rent Survey To
 Be Made By 0PA In New Haven
Will Determine Extent Of Compliance With Regula-
 tions, Westerberg Says

Approximately 15,OOO New Ha- ven tenants will be asked on May 25 to participate in city-wide rent survey by Clarence G. Westerberg, Area Rent Director.
 A simple questionnaire, designed to elicit a half dozen key facts about the rent control program, is being sent to these tenants with set-ad- dressed envelope, MT. Westerberg said.
 The main facts to be uncovered are the name and address of land- lords, the name and address of the tenants, description of the ac- commodations, the rent paid on the ssfreeze'' date of April l, l94l. and the rent now being paid.
 MT. Westerberg urges all tenants who receive the form to fill it out and mail it to the Area Rent Office within three days.
 The survey will follow the general pattern of a survey recently conducted in New London and being planned for other war-crowded Connecticut cities.
 Describing the questionnaire as a ''quick and fairly accurate means of determining the percentage of compliance with rent control regu- lations," MT. Westerberg said that the discovery of violations will be followed first with an informal con- ference with the landlord for the purpose of reaching a compliance agreement.
 However, in cases where the vio- lations appear wilful, the Rent Di- rector added, the evidence will be forwarded to the State OPA Office in Hartford for whatever cOrrec- tive or enforcement measures seem necessary.

SAN FRANCISCO-The unex- pected proposal of US. delegates to the United Nations conference that an international bill of rights be created by the new World Se- curity Organization is in close ac- cord with the program placed be- fore conference leaders by organ ized labor.
 Coming after a series of rebuffs to the labor representatives and of objections to some labor-sponsored additions to the Dumbarton Oaks plan, the new proposal is seen as a substantial concession to the official labor viewpoint.
 While no bill of rights will be irl- cluded in the charter of the new se- curity organization, as labor had re- quested, Sec. of State Edward R. Stettinius said the U. s. delegation considered the creation of such a statement of principles to be one of the first duties of the proposed human rights commission of the world or ganization.
 The U. s. delegates, he said, hope that such a bill of rights will be "ac- cepted by all member nations as an integral part of their own systems of law, just as our Bill of Rights has been an integral part of our system of law"
 The American proposal for a world bill of rights is an expansion of four amendements on hu- man rights sponsored by the U.S., Great Britain, Soviet Russia and China. The first amendment establishes the promotion of hu- man rights and freedoms as one of the fundamental purposes of the organization. The second gives the General Assembly the power to assist in the realization of these rights and freedoms. The other two amendments provide for letting the

the US. delegation and particular ly from Sen. Arthur H. Vandenberg (R) of Michigan.
 Freedom from fear, Stettinius said, takes in protection from persecution or discrimination of all men and women, regardless of race, language, religion or sex, and protection of their equal right to enjoy all other fundamental rights and freedoms"
 Stettinius also said he believed 'the charter and structure and pro- cedures of the world organization should and will provide means for full consideration of the views and interests of all branches of organ ized labor and of agriculture and business. Without such full con- sideratiOn, effective performance by the organization in economics and social matters would obviously be impOssible.'
 This is the first assurance given to organized labor that its strength and influence deserve. recognition.
 Tt is my conviction" Stettinius concluded, "that the foundation which we are laying here for the economic and social collaboration of nations in the cause of fundamental human rights and freedoms may we'll prove to be most important of all the things we do here for the peace and advance ment of the peoples of the world"
 The declaration on human rights and Stettinius championship of self-government for subject coun- tries goes far to restore U.S.r pres tige as a world leader of democ- racy, a position which it had whit tied down through its own mis- takes in the handling of the Argen- tine and Polish issues.
