cred to consider the Declaration of Independence.
 "And now in the fight against Nazism and FaScism," he contin- ued, labor is responding and must continue to respond to the call of the Government for service and support"
 It is estimated that unions af- filiated with the American Federa- ton of Labor and the seven mill lion members of the AFL have, al- ready purchased four billion dol lars worth of War Bonds.
 MT. Greens talk launched anoth- CT intensive drive to induce AFL members to invest another billion dollars of their earnings and sav- ings in war bonds during the com- ing campaign.
 Efforts will be made by the AFL's organizing and regional staffs to prevail upon workers to supplement their regular purchases of War Bonds, through payroll al- lotment. with extra purchases to the limit of their financial ability.
 MT. Green said that the payroll allotment plans, originated by la bor, twill always stand as a bril- liant page in the record of labor's war activities"
 The ceremonies at Independence Hall here were under the auspices of the Treasury Department, which is cooperating closely with labor in the bond selling campaign.

consistent with gathering the pa- per efficiently and quickly will be made to make it g safe and sane drive.
 The Girl Scouts will do canvas sing work only. contacting house. holders previous to the drive, to urge them and help them get their paper out. The trucks will start out about 10 o'clock, and will cover the following area: all of Groton Borough. Navy Heights and sur- rounding areas. Pleasant Valley, Route 84 to Center Groton, Po- quonnock Bridge, Buddington Road. Fort Hill Homes, Long Hill and Trails Corner. Anyone living on side roads should bring their pa- per to the main road.
 All this is a pretty large order, so each householder is urged to put the paper OUT, tied in bum dles or in boxes, where it can be easily seen and picked up. If missed call to headquarters will bring someone to get it. Headquarters will probably be the Eastern Point Fire Co., phone 2-2178.
 Good substantial food for the workers will be served by the Groton Red Cross Canteen.
 The need for waste paper of all descriptions is as urgent as ever. This paper you put out for collec- tion this Saturday will not be go- ing into news print, grocery bags or disopsable tissues. The paper mills in this vicinity need 1t for their war orders, and it will all be used up the following Monday. if the mills operate that day. They seldom operate a full week, due to a great shortage of used paper.
 Let's give them 55 tons this time.

Mrs. Morrison
 Guest Speaker on Sub Radio Program

On April IT. Mrs. James Morrison, president of the League of Women Voters, was the guest of The Sub Radio Forum. Mrs. Morrison who was interviewed ou Dumbarton Oaks and A World Security Organ ization stated that the only alterna- tive to world wars is a world security organization which will be mapped out in detail at the San Francisco Conference.
 Mrs. Morrison outlined the Dum- barton Oaks proposals which drafted the first outline for world organization and stated that San Francisco will give the blue print from which to build. She stated that our views and those of other nations will be fairly set forth and discussed at San Francisco and that what is finally agreed upon must be promptly ratified by the Senate without the crippling amendments that will have to be referred to all the other nations concerned, give them an excuse to put in few ot their own and indefinitely delay the start of the organization on which so much depends.
 Mrs. Morrison said that the Crimea Conference at which Roose- welt. Stalirl and Churchill met strengthened the plans for a world organization and ironed out many other questions. The vote in the Security Council was decided upon here and plans were worked out for establishing normal governments in the liberated countries by free and secret ballot of all citizens by guar anteeing free elections as soon as order has been sufficiently restored by the interim governments set up by the United Nations.
 Mrs. Morrison urged all to fol- low the proceedings at San Francis co and said: When the plans are agreed upon let your Senators know that we are in earnest in wanting prompt action and that we will not tolerate a repetition of the tactics that killed our entry into the League of Nations.
 Mrs. Morrison paid tribute to Franklin Roosevelt whom she said did more than any other man to bring the United Nations together and keep them united. She said "RooSevelt's tragic death will not mean the destruction of his dearest hopes and ours If, like him, we do our work to the end"

Last month it Is to be remem- bered that the AZ of L called the turn on management and after ne- gotiating for days finally induced" the management to part with quarter of a million dollars in the form of retroactive bonus money to the Electric Boat employees Since then, because of the cut backs, and a million and one ex- cuses which management Is SO adept at making when they have a mind to, each month we are faced with 8 notice saying mo bonus was earned this month. :" This, of course, is only an excuse on the part of management and proves only that the present "bo- nus plan" iS wholly inadequate. It is a matter of fact, and every employee of the yard knows it., that the employees in the yard. individually and collectively. are producing as much as ever, taking into consideration, of course, the number of people that have been laid of since peak production.
 AS a result of all this a survey Is being made and a new or re- vised bonus plan will be submitted to management by committee selected by the Union. composed of Mike McGarry, president of the Clerks Union: Emile Mann, president of the Metal Trades Council; Business Agent Bernard Ezhaya; and whoever else is need ed to bring the case to a quick and favorable conclusion.

 Girl Scouts, Cub Scouts. Boy Scouts and Junior Midshipmen will do the work, and will get the proceeds from the sale of the paper, directly to the paper mills in this vicinity, by the way. What will the money be used for by the youth organizations? Summer camps, equipment both for outdoor activi- ties and meeting places, assistance of needy members, rainy-day funds for the time when weekly dues of 5 or 10 cents a week may be the organizations only income, and many other things. Surely the money will be put to good use. Some has already gone into the Red Cross War Fund.
 As several bad accidents have occurred recently in other sections during paper drives, a different system will be tried here in Grot- on. Instead of youths riding on trucks perhaps loaded high with paper, passenger car will follow each truck on the route. and the boys will ride in it when they come to open areas, also to and from the unloading area. Only adults will ride in the trucks, to place the paper as it Is handed up by the boys. On streets with any amount of traffic. only one side of the street will be worked over at a time, thus eliminating cross ing the street with bundles of pa- per. Tn other words. every effort

Ringing of Liberty Bell Sets Of Intensive Campaign
 To Buy Bonds

Philadelphia-With the ringing of the Liberty Bell seven times, AFL President William Green launched the Seventh War Loan Drive in Independence Hall. In a radio talk addressed to the entire nation, he urged workers to buy more Series E Bonds than ever be- fore to make victory certain.
 Thanked by distinguished repre- sentatives of Government and in- dustry, MT. Green said:
 ''The need of the nation is greater than ever before. The cruel war in which we are engaged is calling for the sacrifice of hu- man life. It is consuming all ma terials, service and contributions which we can make.
 ''Men and women of labor friends of labor everywhere hearken to the nations call! Par ticipate in the Seventh War Loan Drive by purchasing more bonds than you ever purchased in any previous War Loan Drive. Resolve firmly now to do this and by so doing help our brave fighting forces inflict the final blow upon our enemies on the battlefieldS."

Senators brooding over the high
cost Of income taxes-their own
made known today that they are
cooking up a question for Internal
Revenue Commissioner Joseph D
Nunan, jr.
1t goes like this: If House men,

tax exemption for official expenses
why can't Senators?
Senator Taft, Republican, of Ohio
said in an interview that Mr.. Nunan
would be asked to explain it to the
Senate Finance Committee when
the chamber goes back into session
next october.
House members, with Senate con-
currence, recently voted themselves
$4,000 yearly as an expense allow
ance in addition to their $4,000
salaries. The Internal Revenue
Bureau ruled this was tax free il
spent entirely on official expenses.
But Senator Wiley, Republican
of Wisconsin, complained today the
bureau turned down his deduction
OF $1,000 for rent he pays in Wash
ington while maintaining also a
home in his own State. Senators
