tuted injunction proceedings which re-

MATERNITY AND
CHTLD-CARE PLAN
IS ASKED BY Clio

WAsHINGTON-FP) Extension OF
the emergency and infant care program
now available to wives Of enlisted men
to cover wives Of veterans and widows
of servicemen was asked by the Clio
March &c in a letter to Rep. Butler Hare
D-N. g., chairman Of the subcommit-
tee of the House appropriations com
mittee.
The letter by CLIO President Philip
Murray also asked that the legislation
cover infants born up to two years after
the veteran leaves the service.
Legislation renewing the emergency
maternity and child welfare program is
pending before Hare's group.
Murray wrote that the program had
benefited items of thousands Of u own
members in service" both financially
l"and in peace Of mind" He pointed out
it covered only enlisted men in the
-four lower grades and that the pay diff
ferential between them and the three
upper grades Of enlisted personnel rs
not very substantial-certainly not
enough to relieve the men in the upper
grades of worry about meeting maternity
expenses"
After pointing out that both the Army
and Navy endorse extension Of the pro
gram. Murray said the law now cannot
help the woman whose husband is
killed in action before she makes ap-
plication" or the woman who fails tc
applv before her husbands discharge
He asked that the law be written tC
cover a period six months after dis
charge and to provide care for infants
whose fathers leave the service before
their birth.
IN addition, we hope you VIII give
careful consideration to the d~esirabiity
Of including veterans in the EAdIC bene-
fits for a limited period after discharge
We would like to see the wives Of vet
Grams able to take advantage Of this as
s~istance for the first two years after
the return Of their husbands. Those
years will be difficult IN for u boys
Most of them will be unable to
meet the heavy expenses Of adequate
maternity care"

POSTWAR DRAFT
CAMPAIGN is
UNDER ATTACK

NEW YORK CITY-CWDL)-The first
revelation Of the high pressure cam
paign conducted by the War and Navy
departments and the selective Service
system to high pressure Congress to
accept now a policy of peacetime con
scription comes from Col. Roscoe S.
Conkling, in a pamphlet The Case
Against Compulsory Peacetime Military
Training" postwar world Council, 112
East 18th st., New York 3, N. Y lOc)
Commenting on the pamphlet, Work
ers Defense League Chairman Aron s..
Gilmartin declared that 1T is an as
founding document which should be
read by everyone who expresses any
opinion on peacetime military training.
It may well alter the history Of the com
ing decades"
Until January %, Col. Conkling, who
was first director Of the draft in New
York city during World Wan /, served
as a member Of the presidential appeal
board on Selective Service; then he re-
turnd to inactive status at his own re-
quest. He could not have written this
pamphlet had he remained in active
service, he makes clear, for he says that
although high Army officials kept talk
ing for compulsory peacetime military
service, he was unable to get permission
to speak against it.
Col. Conkling makes clear that Army
and Navy, ostensibly busy with nothing
but the war, have been used as propa-
ganda agencies for the enactment Of
compulsory military training legislation,
which he declares is unnecessary and
dangerous to democracy.
In a foreword, Professor Alonzo f..
Myers Of New York university, declares
that revelations in the pamphlet ARE Of
such a nature that Congress should in
vestigate them thoroughly before acting
on proposals for peacetime compulsory
military training

, Weirton employees took the stand to
testify that they were fired for belonging
to the CLIO.
Latest court action in the long fight
to break open Ernest t. Weir's power
fu empire Of anti-unionism, the NLRB
case will try to prove that the company
is illegally recognizing the WeirtOn In
dependent union, which was formally
declared company dominated by the
NLRB and outlawed by a court order
in 1913.
Testifying before Special Master Dray-
ton Heard, appointed by the third cir
cut court Of appeals, Robert C. Yoho
of Weirton, W. Va, told how he was
fired on February TO- 1914, after work
ing for the company for 10 years. When
he first joined the United steelworkers
in April. 1871, he said he wore his CIO
button in the plant and was told by a
supervisor to throw it away.
He put it in his pocket, he said, but
he was cut from six and seven days a
week to five. Later he was asked by
the assistant mill manager, Charles
Eddy. if he belonged to the CIO. When
he said No. the manager said it was a
good thing or it would cost him his
job. Several months later he was called
to the managers office and told to re-
sign from the CLIO or be fired. Yoho
said he resigned and that the resigna-
ton was written for him by a steward
of the Weirton Independent union. La
ter he was fired.
John Cencarik said that he was a mill
wright with 10 years experience when he
was laid off on February 10, 1914, os-
tensibly because of a reduction in the
work force. He also had worn his CIO
button in the plant. Later he was re-
ferred back to Weirton by the q. s. En-
ployment Service to answer a call for
millwrights. but the company insisted
there were no vacancies. He was offered
a Job as a common laborer at 78c an
{ hour and worked with SIX other CIO
men. all skilled mechanics, on a labor
gang.

recent evidence that President

hard for radical New Deal prin-

But on top of this comes fresh
evidence of initiation, led by the

Perhaps it shows the depreciation

Graphs
HoIIer's Theory
May Be indicated
BY SILER FREEMAN

Various estimates have been
made of the size of the potential
passenger car market. Unani-
nous agreement is that it is
huge, in the millions. There's no
disputing this conclusion.
Just as blithely, however, the
prognosticators see the first pro-
duction being gobbled up by a
car-starved public who will grab
anything handed to them as long
as it is new. With that there is
a lot of disagreement.
Bill Holler of Chevrolet has
insisted right along that there is
still a selling job to be done on
automobiles, despite the huge
potential market. And ii looks
like he's going TO be right.
If you want to make little
survey for yourself, just ask a
dozen persons around you II they
Will be buy the first cars off the
production lines. Chances are
that four out of five say they're
going TO wait. especially those
who have a fairly serviceable car
in hand.

Give More Value

The Automobile Manufacture
ers Association recently COM
pleted a study showing how
operating costs of vehicles had
been halved between 1925 and
1889. Now it comes up with the
conclusion that the modern car
is giving five times the value
per dollar as it did Is years ago
and that a car scrapped in 1943
had been driven 112 miles for
every dollar of origial cost as
against % miles per dollar back
in 1925.
Cars scrapped in 1943," the
ANA survey shows, had a de-
probation cost of only nine
tenth of a cent for each mile
they had been driven, whereas
cars scrapped in 1928 had a
depreciation cost OF a. cents
per mile driven"
These comparisons are based
on increased mileage yielded by
late model cars and the reduced
prices at which they were sold
to the public. The cars going off
the road in recent years had
travelled an average of $1,000
miles against 21.750 miles for
those retired in 1925.

Re(0nversion

NEW YORK, Sept. 25-The Ma
tional Association Of Purchasing
Agents business survey committee
reported that reconversion of war
production plants was headed for
another miracle of speed in change
over and operation until labor's
activities and demands slowed
down both operations and conf
dence.
The survey added, however, that
"reconversion is proceeding rapidly
and expectations are very opti-
miStic." Many purchasing agents
believe industry will pass from
reconversion difficulties into full
postwar production in from three
to six months.
None of the reports indicates
any considerable easing in the Ia
Dor situation for either skilled or
unskilled help, the survey said.
In fact many ny-rePefts say labor Is
the bottleneck.
Purchasing agents believe the
pressure on prices is still upward,
according to the survey.

Telling Phrases

Here are a few Of the more
telling phrases from his book:
"Only statesmen and salesman
ship can create the desire that
creates the demand that creates
the production that means sus-
tanned employment for all who
want to work."
somebody has to sell some-
thing II somebody else Is going
To keep on making IL, and so
have the wherewithal to hire
other 'somebodies' to help him
make IL, and thus provide jobs"
America possesses the great
est engineers, production men
and financiers the world has
ever known But what Amer
lea is going to need in the years
TO come Is the finest and strong
est merchandising, marketing
and distribution system of all
time"
Detroit evening times., 1945-09-26
Formula for Jobs

Holler, incidentally, has done
a grand Job with his book Sell
America Into Jobs He gives his
formula for prosperity: Mass
sales equal mass production
equals mass employment. Like
the master salesman that he is,
he puts over his lesson in telling
words:
I'VE have heard a lot about
reconversion - reconyersion Of
plants, tools and equipment.
But we haven't heard very much
about the most important recon-
version job of all--the reconver-
sion of our own minds from
a state of passive acceptance OF
orders from one big customer,
the government, to active selling
to millions of customers"
