rest being in various stages Of getting
it," the authors state. This is felt to
be remarkable record considering
the brief period of time they have
been here.
Refugees have contributed substan-
TALLY TO American business and indus
try and given employment to many
Americans, the study shows. Some of
the refugees have showed great in
genuity in starting new types of busi-
neSSeS.
"In numerous instances they have
brought with them or developed new
processes, and started the manufac-
ture of products hitherto either un-
known here or imported scienti-
fic instruments, precision tools, and
synthetic industrial products The
diamond industry, for example, was
transferred almost completely from
the Netherlands and Belgium to this
country"
shortage in physicians have also gain
ed by the coming of refugee doctors,
and American medicine has benefited
by the achievement of those refugees
who worked in medical research, clini-
cal work, and teaching, it is asserted.
reports from communities through
out the country reveal that refugees
take part in all kinds of community
activities" the pamphlet says. "The
striking extent to which refugees have
fitted into American community life
may be explained partly by their rela
lively small numbers and wide dis
tribution, partly by their superior ed
ucational and cultural background but
particularly by their desire to become
assimilated."
Neither our immigration laws nor
our quota requirements were changed
during the period of refugee immigra-
ton, the authors point out, despite the
urgency of the situation. "lndeed, ow-
ing to the economic depression and the
threat of war, the enforcement of our
laws became more severe"
During the period 1933-1944, the
total number of immigrants admit
ted was smaller than at any other
period during the last century. "Only
1863 percent of the total number of
aliens from Europe admissible under
our quota laws have entered the
United States the authors point out.

Charges Plot To
Block Television

New York = (FP). - Another in
stance of science shackled by secret
cartel arrangements was brought TO
light in U. S. antitrust suit filed
in federal court Dec. 18 against five
corporations charged with blocking
progress in television.
Accused of violating antitrust regu-
lations in the manufacture and sale
of television equipment were Para
mount Pictures Inc, Television Pro-
ductions Inc, General Precision
I Equipment Corp, Scophony Corp. Of
America, Scophony Ltd, London, and
three individuals.
U. S. Atty. Gen. Tom c. Clark al
/ legged in the suit that the defendants
entered into a conspiracy to give Gen
eral Precision and Television Produc-
tions complete control over the pro-
motion, utilization or suppression of
| Scophony inventions in the western
hemisphere.
The complaint charged that between
1887 and 1899 Scophony Ltd, obtain
ed basic patent rights on two revolu-
tionary systems of television known
as "supersonic" and "skiatron" which
would enable reproduction of televised
pictures on large movie screens.
J. Television Productions and General
Precision were accused Of failing to
make any effort to develop and ex-
plot the Scophony patents or porTcte
their use and of having prevented the
Scophony Corp, of America from
granting any licenses under these pat
ents to competitors in the motion PFC
ture or electronic fields.
In addition to it's restraints on open
competition, the suit said, the agree
ment blocked commercial development
OF an important advance in televlsion
and unnecessarily delayed the open
ing of new field of public entertain
ment and education.

Intldtion Charge
A Fake, Says Ira

New York -(FP) .-Editorial writ
ers who tell workers a 800 raise
won't do them any good, because
prices will have to go up 30f6, are
talking through their hats, Labor Re
search Assn. demonstrates in the De-
cember issue of Economic Notes.
Labor costs are only small por-
ton of the retail cost of most prod
ucts, Ira points out, citing Fed
eral Trade Commission finding that
in 1910 labor costs were only 25.5H
of total operating costs of industry.
A 800 boost in this labor cost, there
fore, would cause only 7.7% in
crease in the cost of the product.
The United Auto Workers, Ira
says, found that labor cost per auto
was s155 in 1910 and is $19S today.
Yet in that same period the average
wholesale price OF car has been in
creased by $135, instead of the $34
increase paid to labor. There is still
$101 extra the manufacturer receives
with which to take care of further
wage lnCTedSto. - OON lilCfCdoC III viz
labor cost of the car now would
amount to only S56.70.
1t is on the phony charge that a
30M wage increase must result IN
300 price increase that editorial writ
ers hang their claim that labor is
forcing initiation, Actually, Ira
points out, in every recorded case OF
initiation it has been retail prices and
profits that went up first-like the
boost in auto prices since 1910 and
wages that tagged along after, never
quite catching up.
Actually it was the interests now
crying "Inflationw against labor's
wage demands that fought for infla-
tion during the war, when labor
sought price follbacks and subsidies to
check initiation, Ira recalls.

TWO LIVES A DAY LOST
in INDUSTRIAL FIRES
BY ADELE GILRUTH

Two lives day are lost to fire in
factories in the U. S., according to fig
ures base1 on recent survey conduct
ed by the Natl. Fire Protection Assn.
Twenty percent of the nations $423
million fire loss occurs in the same
classification of buildings.
While dollar loss may not seem to
be the workers concern, the unex-
pressed loss it represents is decidedly
SO. In many cases factory destroyed
by fire never resumes operations. This
sometimes means the loss of livelihood
for a whole community. At least it
means period of unemployment for
worker until he can find a new job
Therefore interest in the fire safety
of factory should be shared by
worker and owner alike.
Once management has set up a
safety program, the remedy for the
tragic fire loss depends, to a great
extent, on the cooperation of every
plant worker. Fire authorities feel
that when the leading causes of in
dustrial fires are pointed out and the
newest methods of preventing and
fighting fires are made known to en-
ployes, they will be eager to help
keep themselves and their fellow
workers fire safe.
The most common causes of fac
tory fires, together with the percen-
tage of national industrial fire loss
which they represent, are listed be-
low:
/. Faulty electrical equipment 149o.
2. Ignition from hot surfaces 1870.
(coils, heaters, ovens, boilers, etc.
3. Reckless smoking and use Of
matches 1870.
A. Embers and sparks from welding
and open flames 11%5.
5. Spontaneous heating 1917.
There are simple ways to prevent
such fires. Here are a few helpful
suggestions for employees to follow:
/. Observe general "good house.
keeping rules and help to keep the
premises neat and free from rubbish.
2. Report promptly defective wir-
ing, defective electrical equipment, ap-
pliances, motors and other fire haz-
ards.
3. Be careful when working near
heaters, ovens, boilers, etc.
A. Observe No Smoking rules. Don't
use matches near flamable liquids,
paints, etc.
5. Be careful with welding instru-
ments and with other machinery with
sparks
6. AS both fire prevention and a
fire protection measure, learn how to
use fire eXtinguishers and other emer-
gency equipment when fire breaks out

How Fright They Are

Denver, Colo.-(FP).-A major
ity of the public - $50 - agrees
with organized labor that most big
businessmen are making more than
fair profit, according to poll
taken by the Natl. Opinion Re-
search Center.
More favorable to small business
men were 54%, who thought they
were making a fair profit. A 57a6
believe that the government should
decide what is fair profit for big
businessmen, while a plurality Of
46@o feel that the government
should decide that point for small
businessmen, too.
Surprising practically no one was
the surveys finding that a ma
Jority of only one population group
the wealthy-think that big busi-
nessmen are now making a fair
profit. The largest percentages re-
plying "More than fair" came from
the less privileged groups economi-
cally and occupationally.

Do You Respect
Yourself?
By RUTH TAYLOR

Self-respect is the insignia of the
lease from mental serfdom, from en-
slavement to inferiority. Indeed, the
dictionary definition Of sef-respect
is ITO have such a regard for ones
own character as will restrain one
from mean, disreputable or unworthy
speech or conduct"
Do you respect yourself?
You can't expect others to respect
you, unless you respect yourself. You
must be willing to stand up and be
counted as an individual, not hide be-
hind any group. You must accept a
rating on your own merits and be
ready to stand or fall on your own ac-
tionS. Respect must be earned by the
individual. 1t cannot be acquired by
him as part of a group.
If you respect yourself, you can be
self confident but never cock-sure.
You will have faith in your ability to
do your own task well because you
know that you are too proud to let
yourself down by inferior, shoddy or
careless work.
If you respect yourself, you won't
be continually on the defensive, look
/ ing for sights, ready to resent where
no offense was intended. If you re-
spect yourself, you won't give way to
wrath. You will not be "tempery".
You will respect yourself too much
to stoop to the manifestations of will
sapping anger. If you respect your
self, you can serve at the most menial
task with dignity. (Did you read re-
Gently of the man in Brooklyn who
worked his way through college to a
Phi. D. as a street cleaner.) You must
be free from the false pride which
is afraid of service.
If you respect yourself, you will
not have to constantly assert your
fright" to do this or that You will
be self-contained and can wait those
rights upon the fulfillment of your
duties. If you respect yourself, you
will be poised, well-balanced, capable
of calm and orderly thought and
speech. No menacing sense of infer
iority will lead you into unbecom-
ing speech or action.
If you respect yourself, you will so
live that you will be worthy of honor
and esteem. Only as you lift yourself
up to a place of respect, can you ac-
hieve the respect of others.

Truman Kills Stute
Control Of Offices

Washington-(FP).-In an acid re-
buke to Congress that has refused
to go along with the most modest
type of progressive legislation, Pres.
Harry S. Truman Dec. % vetoed
legislation that would have returned
the U. S. Employment Service to the
control of the states.
Truman's action, his most impor-
tant veto to date was made in re-
jecting the $52 billion war appropria-
tion cutback bill. 1t contained a rider
sending the USES back to the states
where the political machines of 81
state and territorial governments
would operate an agency upon which
the nation has depended for orderly
and fair unemployment policies.
The veto message was sharply
worded, which occasioned more sur
prise at the capital than the action
itself. The President said the USES
rider would immeasurably retard our
unemployment program" and he call
ed the rider an Objectionable prac-
tice'' that is contrary to good govern
ment
BY tacking the rider to the econo-
my-dlrected cutback measure, Con-
gress hoped Truman would let it go
through rather than lose the savings
it contained In reply, Truman said
that he would move "by executive
action to preserve the savings car
ried IN the bill ''in the exact terms
which the Congress itself has approv-
ed"
Truman called the return of USES
to the states within 100 days of pas
sage of the bill most disadvantage
ous," and asked Congress to enact sep
arate legislation to restore the agen-
cies to the states, but said this should
not be done before June 1947.

With no intent to show how retail
ers have marked up the price of goods
over their costs, an OPA report to
Congress reveals the following inter-
esting examples of price gouglng;
While hardware wholesalers were get

they sold to retailers, the hardware
retailers were getting 365 percent ad-
ditional profit; while wholesale groc-
ers showed a profit increase of 30
percent, retail grocers were marking
up their profits of 1877 percent.
