By JOHN A. CLUNEY

The legal crocodile tears shed by his lawyer in Chicago court room must have cracked a couple more ribs of Enos Slaughter, the St. Louis Cardinal World Series hero, whose wife asked $100 week alimony during settlement of their domestic difficulties. That is, the Slaughter slats must have cracked a bit from his laughing inwardly, especially when his mouthpiece de- clared to the court: "He may never play baseball again" because of el- bow and rib injuries during the 1946 classic. The heart-rending plea must have helped, for the judge made 1t $50 @ week to Mrs. Slaughter from Enos rather than the "C" note she had requested.

LoGuordio's
Greeting

Labor Day 1946 offers a stir
ring challenge to all true friends
of Labor. 1t is more than a year
since we celebrated the victory
of our armies in the field. But
for Labor the battle has just
started. Unless we consolidate
the gains won by the blood and
suffering of our fighting men,
all of their sacrifices will have
been in vain. This means a con-
tinuing war against the forces
of reaction, just as dangerous an
enemy as the Nazis. We just
can't afford to let down.
l have just finished a tour of
the nations which were beaten
down by the brutal Hitler gang.
The sights l saw are almost too
terrible to describe. Ravaged
cities and towns, wrecked homes
and factories, but far worse than
that, wrecked human beings.
Little children, pitifully under
nourished, grown men and
women whose bodies and souls
will always carry the scars of
the tormentS they suffered. But
there's plenty of fight left in
them. With tn cir weakened
hands they are setting about to
restore what has been destroyed,
hoping courageously to build a
better structure than before.
Labor has shown a warm SYM
pathy for these unhappy people.
1t has given generously. 1t has
been solidly behind every bit of
Legislation needed to help them.
1t must continue this interest. 1t
must lead in this movement. The
only hope we have of a world
at peace is a world of men and
women with enough to eat, with
the opportunity to enjoy a life
with some happiness in it, with
a chance to work without eX-
ploitation and receive in return,
enough to insure security for
themselves and their children.
There is so much to do in this
world. There is so much to do
in our own country. Labor has
come into its own in the United
States. And with better condi-
tions, its rights recognized, have
come greater responsibilities. To
enjoy a full and richer life we
must produce and to produce we
must work.

FDR. Jr. Presents
Housing PROPOSED

WASHINGTON, Aug. II -
(LPA) - Charging that "the
homeless and desperate veteran
has been the victim of one of the
greatest run-arounds and smoke
screens in the nations history,
Franklin D. Roosevelt, Jr., last
week presented a two-part pro-
gram for government action to
1Ktimulate homeb u i d n G. He
NVpoke in his capacity as chair
man of the American Veterans
Committee housing committee.
"While veterans literally plead
for a place to live" Roosevelt
said, "the nation is engaged in
an orgy of building which in
cludes honky-tonks, race tracks
and swimming pools = but not

The AVG official said his or
ganization has asked President
Truman to call Congress back
next November to enact the
Wagner -Ellender-T a t general
housing bill, which he termed
essential because the Wyatt
program does not go far
enough" and even if carried out
will still leave at least 100000
families living doubled up" by
, the end of 1947.
Housing Bill Essential
The WET bill, Roosevelt add
ed, ''is essential for bringing
housing costs within the reach of
more veterans and for stimulat-
ing increased investment in low
cost rental housing" He said
that 100000 veterans cannot
afford the houses being built un-
der the present program, which
average $500 sale price or $50
a month rental.
AS an immediate step, RooSe-
velt said that the American Vet
Grams Committee proposes that
President Truman "order the
ALLEGATION of all building mater
ials under priority regulations
and provide that 9096 of these
materials be allotted for home

LPA Colunnist

All over the country, there
are newspaper editors who are
sticking out their tongues at
labor-daring us TO do some
thing about wages. They keep
reminding us thaat business
got itself lot of price in
creases when we got our last
wage hikes, and they dare US
to try it again.
Of course, they don't put it
that way. They say that our
wage increases made prices go
up. If we ask for wage in
creases again, prices will have
to go up again, they say.
They don't tell their readers
that profits were big enough
to pay the wage increases we
asked for, and still leave the
employers plenty without
price increases. Most of them
don't dare to try to deny it;
they simply don't talk about
it. Wage increases will cause
more initiation" ;" they keep re-
peating; and that's as far as
they want to explore that
subject.
Neither do they tell their
readers how much extra
money the employers are
making out of the price in
creases they got for raising
wages. That's something else
you just don't talk about if
you're an editor in good stand
ing on a typical American
newspaper.
They still like to pretend
that the wage drive was kind
of a plot cooked up by lot of
labor people because they are
mad at somebody-or because
they were trying to trick their
union members.
RADICAL
Recently, the Federal Re-
serve Board put out a pam
phlet called, Prices, Wages
and Employment" The title
itself is interesting. To hear
some people talk, you'd think
it was radical TO mention
prices, wages and employment
all in the same breath. But no
body ever called the Federal
Reserve Board radical. If they
can do it, we can. If they put
all three together, maybe
we've been right in insisting
that prices, wages and en-
ployment are all part of the
same picture.
But, even more interesting
than the title or the pamphlet,
is the stuff inside it. For in
stance, there is a statement of
some figures that all labor
people should know. This is
what the pamphlet says:
"Our estimates in dica te
that average wage and salary
rates of non-agricultural en-
ployes as a group should in
crease in range (for full en-
ployment level in 1950) of
about 30-45% above basic
wage and salary rates in 1914.
Increases of these magnitudes
would bring average rates in a
range of 70-90T above the
level prevailing in 1910"
These wage increases were
supposed to bring us up to par
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1946-08-30
Wage Hikes Needed

with 1914 prices. AS you
know, I've didn't get 30
45% wage increases over 1914
rates, and 2-prices have been
going up fast and steadily
since 1914, so even bigger
wage increases are needed for
a full employment economy.
NOT ENOUGH
In other words, present
wage rates won't produce the
purchasing power for full en-
ployment. AS far as the eco
nomic facts are concerned, the
people who believe in full en-
ployment should be pushing
for a new wage drive now.
But life isn't all economics.
A lot of it is politics and pres
sure. AS matter of fact,
from here in Washington it
looks like it's a lot more pres
sure than economies.
Business wanted price in
creases, and turned on terrific
heat to get them. Business had
the help of hundreds of Con-
gresmen who were themselves
businessmen, and wanted big
ger profits for their busi-
nesses. Or they were just
plain business and profit
minded. In either case, they
helped blackjack the govern
ment into making the price
increases.
Some members of the Tru-
man administration did Mt
have to be blackjacked very
hard.
That's why this present
election campaign is so impor-
tant to labor's wage program.
If the political climate can be
changed, if some of the most
profit-inspired men can be
kicked out of Congress and
public-minded men elected in
their places, a new wage drive
will bring better results than
the last one.
Higher wages now will
mean more employment later.
A few years from now, some
one of your neighbors-or
m a Y b e yourself - will be
standing in front of the pay
window, instead of the relief
window, because you voted
right in the 1916 election.
GOOD FACTS
But good politics have to be
supported by good facts. If
the pressures are to be right
during the next wage drive,
the facts must be right today.
Top union officers, many of
them, are putting out the
facts. Rank and file, and the
public, should be getting
them. If both you and your Of
ficers do your job now, the
next wage drive can come
sooner, and will get further.
An army marches on its
stomach, and wins battles
with the bullets in its guns.
The bullets that will win our
battles are the facts, the fig
ures, and the ideas that we
can lay before the American
people - plus the CUTS to
back them up with action.

still were being subjected to in

The 49-year-old sergeant, who
has spent 81 of his % years of Army

had stirred laughter with testi-
mony that he and other prisoners
had outwitted Japanese guards by

Yamashita 5 Appeal
From Death Sentence
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
The Supreme Court had under
consideration today the fate Of Gen.
Tomoyuki Yamashita, Japanese con-
queror of Singapore and former
commander in the Philippines, who
is appealing a death sentence
passed by an American military
commission in Manila.
In arguments before the court
yesterday, the generals attorneys
held that the Manila conviction was
contrary to the United States Con-
stitution as well as international
agreements. The court also heard
United States Army attorneys recite
a long list of massacres, beheadings,
rapes, burnings and other tortures
for which they held Yamashita re-
sponsible.
Government attorneys contended
that an enemy beligerent who in
vades United States territory is en-
titled to no rights in American civil
courts in time of war.
Three Army lawyers appointed to
defend Yamashita in Manila told
the Supreme Court that the war
crime Of q subordinate in the Army
committed without the order, au-
thority, or knowledge OF his supe-
rior, is not the war crime of the
superior"
Harold Judson, assistant solici-
tor general, replied that this argu-
ment did not free Yamashita from
the legal duty to contril his troops. y
Capt. A. Frank Reel, one of
Yamashita's defense attorneys, dis
puted Government assertions that

Atom Advisory Group
Fails 10 Win Wide
Support Of Senator'S
BY the Associated Press.

Several Senators said today that
recommendation of the Senate's
special Atomic Energy Committee
will carry more weight with them
than any proposals fathered by a
new advisory group.
President Truman told his news
conference yesterday 1t will be the
duty of the new five-member group
headed by Undersecretary of State
Dean Acheson to investigate the
international aspects of atomic en-
ergy control and to advise the
American delegation to the London
United Nations meeting. He added
that this will not conflict with
investigations under way by the
Senate committee.
But Senator La Toilette, Pro-
gressive, of Wisconsin called re-
porters attention to the resolution
creating the bipartisan Senate body.
This resolution, he said, gave the
committee the final word on recon-
mendations in the international, as
we'll as the domestic field, so far as
the Senate is concerned.

ity covers the whole field and Mr..

any agreements back to Congress or
there will be an explosion bigger
than that at Hiroshima" the Wis.,

Senator Tydings, Democrat, OF
Maryland, member, noted that the
Senate committee has spent most of
its time studying the question of
international control.
Senator johnson, Democrat, OF
Colorado, also a member, said he
thinks Senators Connally, Democrat,
of Texas and Vandenberg, Repub-
lican, of Michigan will represent the
views of their committee colleagues
at the London meeting, irrespective
Of any other recommendations.
The Senate group still has nearly
a month of hearings before it will
begin work on a report, but there
already are indications that several
members are against giving away
the secret know-how in the manu-
facture of atomic bombs.
Sharing Secret Is Opposed.
Senators Connally, Vandenberg
and johnson all have indicated
this view, and Senator Hickenlooper,
Republican, of Iowa said he is "ab-
solutely opposed" to sharing this
part of the secret.
