AFL Backs Health
 AsContract Clause

Washington (LPA) U Unionized workers have helped themselves thru the health services set-up with funds provided under union agreements, the AFL Labor's Monthly Survey asserts in the current issue.
 Besides the United Mine Workers, who have just won contract provi- sion covering a health care fund, the AFL garment workers, textile work CTS, upholsterers, hotel workers, mo- tormen and bus drivers, and even the empolyes in every junk yard in Chi cago already have such plans in operation.
 Consumer cooperative health plans are also recommended to unions as offering services which may be fin anced thru collective bargaining agreements. The Survey cites the services covered by Group Health Assn in Washington, which provides to members physicians care, 60 days disqualification a year, all surgical care and all operations, all X-rays and laboratory services (except cost of films and maerials) and complete maternity care after 10 months mem bership (except first $50 of hospital costs). "Thus," the AFL publication points out, "a family of husband and wife and any number of children may get completely adequate medical care from the best doctors and hospitals for $10.25 a month, or an individual can get it for $2.50 a month"

Do Laws Favor Labor Unions?
Industry Is Protected By Tarifs-Farmers Have
 Subsidies

In an earlier story we pointed out that although it has been charged that labor was getting all the breaks from the Wagner Act, this was not actually the case, since there were many re- strictions on the rights of union mem bers under the interpretation of the act.
 One of our readers has pointed out to us that Big Business has whole sets of laws for its own protection at the expense of the country. There are the tariff laws which guarantee the elimination of foreign competition.
 There are income tax laws allow ing rebates of which excellent use has lately been made by companies who fought the unions. There are the patent laws which, while passed to protect the inventor, have served to give big mOnopOlies a strangle- hold on competition.
 There are the silver mine owners who are able through their lobby in Washington to keep the price of silver begged so artifcial1y high that some manufacturers who need silver for production were forced to secure per mission from the government to melt down silver dollars.
 How About Subsidies? And lest some of the big farmers who criticize labor unions get too ex- cited about it, remember the word subsidy? The very farmers who shout loudest against babying labor, receive some of the largest of these govern ment subsidies. One thing all these laws have in common is the fact that the taxpayer, and that means all of us, pay money either directly or in

AFL's Southern Drive Enlists
 85,OOO Members

ATLANTA (LPA)-The AFL's southern drive has enlisted 85,000 new members since its organization cam paign began more than two months ago, Director George Googe has re- ported to the Southern Campaign pol icy board here.
 Progress was reported in many states. At Oak Ridge, Tenn, the AFL Atomic Trades & Labor Council in- tensifed its organization work for the Aug. 20 NLRB elections at the atom ic plants, where the AFL and CIO southern drives will meet head on for the first time.

directly to support and nourish private business.
 When you compare these bene- fits to businessmen to the benefits granted workers under the Wagner Act to organize into unions, you realize that the cries of ''private enterprise" usually raised by the opponents of the Wagner Act are not intended to apply to their own enterprise in getting theirs.

For Radio Listeners
By Harry Macarthur

1t might be well some day-and
this is as good a day as any-to
point out to some of the detractors
Of radio that all that is broadcast is
not soap opera. Starting at that low
level, broadcast drama rises through
the mysteries and spy stories and
radio versions of film scripts to
something of a. peak on Sunday
nights with the Theater Guild of
the Air.
This is q distinguished program
and a definite contribution to the
raising of radios literary standards.
1t does not, the ratings show, have
the wide appeal of the Radio
Theater or the Screen Guild Players,
both Of which are devoted to broad
casts Of screen plays. But 1t brings
the theater to great number OF
people who otherwise could not en-
Joy the experience, and you will find
few movie scripts which match the
stages best in dramatic content.
This contribution to good listen
ing by the Theater Guild and the
United States Steel Corp. is appre-
ciated by a number of regular
theater-goers we know, too. 1t not
only permits the sampling of plays
missed, but recaptures the pleasures
OF plays once seen.
A few weeks ago the Theater
Guild of the Air gave us the un-
deniable pleasure of once again
hearing, and in minds eye seeing,
Walter Huston play Sam DodsWorth
in the Sidney Howard dramatiza-
ton of Sinclair Lewis 'Dodsworth. :"
Mr.. Huston's original portrayal of
the retired auto manufacturer un-
able to reconcile himself either to
Europe or to his wife's new Euro
pean friends was one of the men,
orable portraits of his recent career
1t was good to make Sans ac-
quaintance again.
In recent weeks the guild has
brought a number of other actors
and actresses of distinction to it's
microphones, in works worthy of
their talents Rex Harrison came
along to play the young man who
discovered he couldn't live in the
past in the fantasy, Berkeley
Square" Last week Gertrude Law
renee, Ralph Forbes and Bramwell
Fletcher were showing what comic
thing THE Last of Mrs Cheyney"
can be. Recently, Ronald Colman
was having fine time as the rajah
of THE Green Goddess" which was
fun even if you were attaching a
memory of George Arliss' face to
Mr.. Colman's clipped accents.
There were others and there will
be more to come, all meriting at
tention. A. radio studio can hardly
take the place of the stage, of
course. But. when the announcer

Both Sides Claim Edoe
As Thomas, Reuther
Battle for JAW Post
BY the Associated Press

ATLANTIC CITY, N. j., Mar. 26
The spirited battle for leadership
Of the CIO Auto Workers Union
neared showdown today, with both
sides claiming an edge in the con-
test.
The issue will be settled tomorrow
when 1000 delegates vote on whether
to keep r. j. Thomas as president or
to replace him with Walter Reuther,
UAW vice president.
More fireworks were expected to-
day on the convention floor, where
yesterdays session was thrown into
an uproar by sudden but futile at
tempt on the part of the Reuther
supporters to force debate between
the two candidates.
Claims Handicap to Strategy.
Mr.. Thomas isued a folder which
made a further assault on Mr..
Reuther's leadership of the General
Motors strike. Mr.. Thomas praised
the quits" of the strikers, but said
Mr. Reuther showed "unscrupulous
responsibility" He said Mr.. Reu-
theirs wage demand on General Mo-
tors threw a "bombshell" into the
whole CIO postwar strategy, which,
he added, was to apply the pres
sure" through steel rather than the
auto industry.
Mr.. Reuther addressing a rally
last night, replied that Mr.. Thomas
lacked courage because he refused
. Challenge to a debate with him.
Mr.. Reuther then accused his
opponents of 'mud-slinging and
character assassination" said he
did not want to be president if he
had to resort to such tactics, and
devoted most of his speech to out
lining a program for the union.
Reuther Attacks AFL Leaders.
In so doing, he got in resound-
ing blow at AFL leaders, declaring
that Il think some day we're going
to free the AFL rank and file from
those bureaucrats.
With both sides claiming the edge
IN the contest, George F. Adde's,
influential secretary treasurer, told
a meeting of his faction last night
to go out and round up every
single vote you can for Thomas.
Get these delegates who are not al
ready sold on Thomas and sell 'em,
sell 'em, sell 'em"
AT the same rally, Vice President
Richard T. Frankensteen said Mr..
Reuther had Socialist connections"
and charged that Mr.. Reuther
"sabotaged the reelection campaign
of Gov. Frank Murphy"
Mr.. Murphy. now Supreme Court
justice, was Governor of Michigan
during the sit-down strike era
Of 1887.
Murray Precipitates Dispute.
Yesterday CIO President Phillip
Murray precipitated a lively dis
pute in the convention by declaring
distinct fondness" for Mr.. Thomas.
The words had hardly left his
lips before supporters of Mr..
Thomas and Mr.. Reuther were
claiming and disclaiming it as an
Endorsement.
Backers of Mr.. Thomas said 1t
was tantamount to an Endorsement
