The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-11-09

(The following is an open let
ter sent by George F. Adde's,
secretary-treasurer of the CLIO
United Auto Workers, to Rob-
ert Buse, president of the strik-
ing UAW-CIO Local 248 at Al
list Chalmers, West Allis, Wis.
The STAR reprints the letter
in the opinion that its subject
matter has q vital bearing on
labOr's current struggles.)
Dear Brother Buse:
Thank you for your letter of
October s and the copy of the
Milwaukee Sentinel editorials. 1t
is obvious that these editorials
are designed to mislead the pub
lie and at the same time to dis
credit the leadership of JAW
CLIO Local 248 and smash the to-
tally legitimate and entirely JUS
titled strike of Allis-C Chalmers
workers.
The Mr.. John Sentinel, whose
articles I read, attempted to con-
vey the impression that the III
ternational Union does not sup
port the ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS Of
ficers of Local 248 and is in op-
position to the Allis- Chalmers
strike. That statement needs no
rebuttal. 1t is an unmitigated lie.
The International Executive
Board of the UAW-CIO has au-
thorized and gives its full sup
port to the officers and members
of Local 248 in their courageous
struggle against the powerful
and arrogant disclaimers Co.
That strike will be fought-and it
will be supported until it is won
by the entire membership of
the UAW-CIO.
MIR. SENTINEL, in his frantic
effort to destroy the morale of
the Allis-C Chalmers workers, made
certain additional accusations.
Many newspaper reporters, I
know, are under an obligation to
their employers. In no other way
can explain the half truths, the
devious insinuations, and the
grotesque distortions that charac-
terize Mr.. Sentiments articles.
Mr.. Sentinel devoted his arti.
cles to an attempt to dredge up
out of the past certain accusa-
tons that were made against Loo.
248. He used as his source of in
formation the Proceedings of the
1941 Convention of the UAW-CIO.
Mr.. Sentinel reported all the slam
derous accusations that were
made against your local union,
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-11-09

In the meantime, the people must exert constant vigil
lance in defense of their living standards and democratic
rights. Big Business will be cocky than ever.
It will demand anti-abor legislation from the next
gress 1t will exert even greater pressure upon the T
Administration to fulfill its every bidding
With most price controls gone, rent controls are
slated to go next. Red witch-hunt may be
dertaken reminiscent of the early 1920s, with the aim
of terrorzng the ranks of labor and breaking the back
bone of the organized labor movement And in foreign
affairs the Republicans will press all the harder for
their get tough policy and for Wall Street world domin
alton.
All this calls for the greatest unity in the ranks of
labor and in the progressive camp generally In face of
the common danger all secondary differences must be
put aside. VS.
Especially harmful would be continuation of the
fractional pickering and ursdctiona squabbes which di-
vide the ranks of organized labor and which have made
their appearance in the CO. Labor and in the first
place the CLIO must unite its ranks if reaction is to be
beaten Any failure to work towards this end is to toy
with disaster Let's heed the warning of November S. If
we do, reaction will still be beaten.

1916 must be learned rapidly if another Republican vic
tory to be avered The country must not be confront
ed with the alternative of Truman versus Dewey
Vandenberg There must be real peoples candidate and
ticket in the field.
The hope of the country lies not with Truman
and his payroll camp followers, but with Wallace
and the progressive coalition being gathered around
him. is from the Wallace camp that bold and clear
leadership must come. Wallace was correct when
he said day or two before the election that mo
matter how the election comes out Nov. 9th is day
of political rebirth."
This political rebrth' can only complete
breakaway from the Truman Administration and from
the concept of organzaonal loyalty to the Democratic
Party progressive coalition must arise capable of
stirring the hearts and minds of the people.
Already such coalition is iif the making. The Nat
iona Conference of Progressives which met in Chicago
month ago must think of building permanent grass
roots political movement That movement while CONT
nung to fight within the old parties must begin simulta-
neousy to build the framework of independent poll
teal machine of the people that be the skeleton of
the new progressive peoples party.

of the close ties that had formerly existed between
labor and the Roosevelt Administration.
1t not too much PAC which defeated them but
little because Tmans policies had left labor hostile
and cold and made it impossible to evoke enthusiastic and
active election response from its ranks.
Proof of this be seen in the Democratic campaign
strategy. Realizing that Truman party liability,
they muzzled his voice and forbade the of his
for the duration of the campaign Trying to reawaken
the old Roosevelt crusadng spirit they reproduced Roo
seves voice the air and sent other than Henry
Wallace the Truman had kicked out of his cabinet,
to stump the country And it may be said that the only
truly large and enthusiastic rallies held by the Demo-
Gratis this year those featuring Henry Wallace as
the main speaker.
The most important lesson to be learned from this
campaign is that long the people offered
real alternative to Republican reaction it is bound to
win in 1948 did in 1916 And many progressves who
continue to hold Trans coatais in the interests
of so-caIed party harmony will continue to go down
to defeat as they did this year.

Anderson's Talk Fails
To Curb Fight on Ceilings
By Malcolm Lomborne, Jr.

The beef industry went ahead
today with plans to petition
Secretary of Agriculture Ander-
son for an end to price ceilings
on beef in the face of Mr.. An
derson's statement that meat
prices were high enough to stim-
ulate production.
A spokesman for OPAs Beef In
dustry Advisory Committee, which
met here yesterday, said. however,
it may require as much as 40 days
before the question of ending
ceilings reaches the final authority
on such matters-the Price Decon-
troll Board.
Mr.. Anderson. broadcasting last
night from Albuquerque, N. Mex,
made it clear that the administra-
ton plans no changes in the agri-
cultural price line except those re-
quired by parity.
Procedure Outlined.
And yesterday. the department
issued a statement on procedures to
be followed in submitting petitions
for decontrol of agricultural COM
modities. 1t stressed that petition
must be based on the grounds that
supplies are sufficient to meet re-
quirements
Should Mr.. Anderson turn down
the beef industry's petition, the
group has the right to eventually
appeal to the Decontrol Board.
The board has remained silent on
the meat shortage and the growing
agitation for relief.
This hands-off attitude-at least
until the problem comes to the
boards attention through formal
"channels"-was illustrated with the
disclosure that the board had de-
clined to appear at hearing on the
meat situation opening in Boston by
a House Agriculture Subcommittee
under direction of Representative
Herter, Republican, of Massachu-
setts.
Can Do Nothing Now.
Mr.. Herter, it was learned, was
informed that the board has no in
formation on the current meat situ-
alton and that there is nothing the
board can do at this time.
Mr.. Anderson declared in his
address, Ceiling prices do not seem
to be impending the needed pro-
duction of any agricultural COM
modify, and we in the department
feel that price adjustments are
now behind us and that there be
few if any additional recommended
tions for upward ceiling prices"
He added that the law may re-
quire some adjustments, due to
changes in parity rates and the like.
but barring entirely unforeseen
circumstances which might affect
agricultural productions, these are
about the only price adjustments
contemplated
The Secretary made no mention
of any immediate relief of the meat
famine.
However, he said farmers who are
holding light weight livestock off
the market should be praised and
not condemned because "our need

Army Will Release
Thousands Of Officers
In Move for Economy
Nearly Half Of 10000
Now on Duty Will Be
Affected by New Order
BY the Assoeioted Press

The Army topped a series of
economy measures with an order
today to speed the release of
thousands of temporary officers
still on active duty.
Advancing dates six months or
more, the new separation policy an
nounced by the War Department
permits the return to civil life,
mostly by years end, of officers who
otherwise would not have been eli
gible until next June 80.
OF 10000 officers still In the
Army, officials calculated that about
half would be affected, either by
getting out sooner or by volunteer
ing to extend their periods of serv-
ice. They said, however, the net
reduction of the Army's strength
could not be calculated imme-
diately.
Want Volunteer Corps.
The department said the order
was drafted because of "the strin-
gent budgetary limitations under
which the Army is now operating
and because of 'the desirability of
having a completely volunteer off,
Ger corps"
In accordance with economy
orders of President Truman and
Congress, the number of War De-
partment civilian personnel already
had been ordered reduced by more
than $4,000, and other economy
measures are in preparation.
Principal changes announced to-
day include:
l. Officers in the United States
who had asked for the earliest pos
sible release and who will complete
"a months service by next June 80
will be processed Immediately and
will complete their terminal leave
by December 81. Those who had
asked to be relieved by the end of
this year also will be separated
without delay Slightly longer de-
lays are stipulated for those over
seas.
2. Officers who had agreed to re-
main in service until next June 80
and are in the Unite. States will be
released Immediately, if they desire,
but if overseas may be retained
longer, provided their terminal leave
is completed by June 30.
Certain Groups Excepted.
3. Officers who had volunteered to
remain on service indefinitely or for
periods of IL, 18 or "a months, will
be released on application "as rap
idly as military requirements will
permit" and no later than next
March 81 They must, however
have served two years, either as Of
flcers or enlisted men.
All officers, aside from some 25.-
900 regulars. currently are serving
under voluntary agreements to con-
tinue on duty either for specified
periods or until they could be re-
leased.
Excepted from today's order are
certain medical officers, critical spe-
cialists, recent graduates of officer
candidate schools and those with de-
pendents overseas or en- route.
