Measure Aimed At Labor Passed By House Tories
Anti-R Racketeering Bill Pro vides For Pro-Employer
 Discrimination

| WASHINGTON (LAP) = Labor haters in Congress won major vic tory of 1945 lest week when the House, by 8 voice vote, passed the vicious Hobbs anti-racketeering bill despite protests by nearly a dozen Representatives that the legislation was "strike-breaking," "union. busting," and patterned on the Nazi fOrmAla. Characterized by Rep. Wm. J. Gal lagher O., Minn. ], as declaration of war on organized labor," the bill was introduced by Rep. Sam Hobbs O., Ala.), and was designed to sub | feet unions to the 1884 anti-racketeer- ing act although the Supreme Court l in 1942 ruled that the law did not ap- ply to a union.
 ASSURED PENALTIES Repeatedly pro-labor Represen. tatives called attention to the ab- surdity of the penalty of 20 years i'm prison of $lO,OOO fine or both when employer violations of the antitrust laws can bring maxi mum of only $sOOO fine and one year in jail.
 Leading the attack on the bill, which the House passed 270 to 107 two years ago and which was killed by the Sen ate, were Representative Cellar O., ND, LaFollette (R., Ind. ) Welsh O., Cal), Granger O.. Utah), Gallagher, Biemiller (D. Wis.), and Marcantonio (ALP N.Y.).
 CELLER HITS BILL
 At the outset of debate Celler argued that the Hobbs bill ''actual- ly does impair, actually does dimin. ssh, actually does destroy the right of labor to strike, the right to boy. colt, the right to picket, and does impair all those rights which have been achieved by labor over the years with blood and sweat and tears. Only because of those rights have we achieved the high stand ards of living of the laboring men and women i'm this country of ours. That is to be destroyed at one full swoOp."
 Labor opposed the bill, Celler con tinued, mot because labor opposes an ti-racketeering legislation but because this bill is not in any respect an an ti-racketeering measure. It is strike breaking bill. It is time bomb with false label. It is booby trap aimed at labor, only wrapped up in silker terms"
 HITLER INSPIRED Gallagher asserted that ''The only place that it (the bill) could have come from was the constitu. ton of national socialism as advo. cated by Adolph Hitler. want to say further that there is more racketeering on the heels and coat. (Continued on Page Three)

AFL Chief Asks Truman Veto Bill Crippling USES
Green Declares HR 44O7 Rider Nulli6es Previous
 Fine Action

WASHINGTON = (FP) = In a letter to President Harry s. TFu. man Dee. 13, AFL President Will. liam Green asked the chief execu. tive to veto H.R. 44O7, passed by both houses of Congress, because it carries a rider returning che U. s. Employment Service to the states.
 Green wrote that he had detailed the full AFL position some six months ago, and at that times congratulated Truman on the transfer of the U. s Employment Service to the Depart ment of Labor, but 1 am sure you will agree that the effectiveness ol this desirable action will be nullifieG if the present proposal is approved dividing the operation of this vital service into more than 48 separate units"
 SCHWELLENBACH VETO
 The A.F.L. chief recalled that Secretary of Labor Lewis B. Schwel. lenbach has already recommended the veto and added that ''this sub- stantiates the position of the AFI that the working people of this nation are aware of the urgent need for national employment service.
 T respectfully call to your atten- tion," the letter went on, that the provision in this measure providing for the transfer of the employment service to the states was taken by Congress without hearings before the appropriate committee in either house Legislation dealing with this matter is now under consideration by the Sen ate committee on education and labor Your veto of the present measure would provide opportunity for a deci- sion on this important question to be made by the Congress after due con sideration on the merits and after op- portunity has been given to the pro- ponents of federal operation to be heard"

Our brains are constantly
broadcasting or receiving thought
force When these forces are en-
gagged in writing. talking, or in
any mental or physical effort, we
are then positive. When olsen
gagged and in a receptive state, We
are then negative. When negative
we are receiving thought elements
of some kind which may have a
baneful or benign influence upon
us. All evil, however, of any ma
ture is but temporary when once
we learn to live in the realm OF
constructive thought vibrations.
When we mingle with excitable
people, those whose thoughts are
stepped in inferior elements of
thought, it will, in most very in
stance, cause us to think as they
think, to see as they see, and do
as they do. In other words, we
make ourselves a part of their
excitable and inferior condition,
and we take on and absorb their
quality of thought, we become
disgruntled and discouraged,
when before associating with
them. we were contented and
cheerful.
When associating with Inferior
thought elements, we become
vague and impossible. when be-
fore we were hopeful and assur-
ed. When we absorb lower and
inferior thought elements we be-
come undecided. and during this
state of indecision, We will often
buy what we do not want, or
take some Improbable step we
would not have done had we
been ourselves, thinking our own
constructive thoughts, and not
the excitable thoughts gathered
from the crowd around us. Often
when we are obliged to mingle
with inferior thought elements, we
will return to our homes actually
sick mentally, which so often de-
pletes us physically.

Naval Clique Will Dittate Nip Surrender
Captured Jap Writer Says Luzon Fighting Main-
 tained by Discipline
By RUSSELL BRINES Associated Press War Correspondent

MANILA, July 28.--Starving Japa- nese troops deep in the Northern Luzon mountains are being held to the war under severe discipline by high-ranking officers who intend to fight a delaying action as long as possible, Ken Murayama, former Domei war correspondent, declared today. He recently surrendered to the Americans.
 Murayama, who is well known to many pre-war American Far Eastern correspondents, predicted that Japan would surrender within a few weeks ?nd that the decision would be dic- tated by a Naval clique which has been in the ascendency since the fall of Premier Tojo year ago.
 He told me that thousands of civil ians-mostly women and children had been left to shift for themselves behind the irregular Japanese lines or were starving in barren mountain retreats.
 Murayama, who was Domei's Eng fish Language service director in Shanghai at the time of Pearl Har- bor, said the entire Luzon campaign was fought as holding action in order ito prolong the war and kill as many Americans as possible with the hope of gaining as favorable a peace as possible.
 Born in New York 34 years ago, Murayama surrendered to patrols of the Thirty-eighth Division when the Japanese Army was in the noun tains behind the Wawa dam.
