Need l3 More For
 Cloture Passage

WASHINCTON- CPD = An early Senate test on the anti-polltax bill that has been pending business for five months will be sought by a bi- partisan steering committee backed by the written prom ises of support from 5l Sena- tors. Pledges from l3' more would assure cloture rule and easy passage of the legis- latiOn.
 This development came Mar. % at a press conference calked by Sen. Claude Pepper CD, Fla.), who is joint leader of the steering committee with Sen. Homer Ferguson (R, Mich.) and attended by Washington legislative representatives of more than dozen national organizations.
 With Sen. James Mead (D,N.Y.) and Sen. George Aiken (R,Vt.) in attendance, Pepper declared that unless Senators ''are ready to break a filibuster, they are not ready to support this bill."
 Ferguson echoed the same senti- ment, saying "when this bill starts, it. will be a question of cloture Climi- tation of debate.) think we ought to call it up soon in few weeks and not at the end of the session"
 Faces Filibuster
 The pending bill is HR 7, passed by the House last November by an overwhelming vote and recently re- ported out of the Senate judiciary committee. It is now on the Senate calendar ready to be called the de- bate, and face a polltax filibuster.
 Legislative Rep. Martin H. Mill Ter of the Bro. of Railroad Train men (unaffiliated) told the con- ference his organization "believes it only fair that in federal elections all citizens should be able to vote without financial consideration"
 Walter White of the National As sociation for the Advancement of Col ored People placed his 1,12o branches and councils back of the bill, while Hoyt Haddock, representing the CIO Maritime Committee, said the Nation al CIO "is vital1y concerned in get ting, the bill passed this term"

l13-Year Old Union, New AFL Affiliate

PHILADELPHIA (LPA)-A ll3- year-Old union, the Sailmakers & Canvas Local l, of New York City, was chartered last week by the UphOlsterers' International Union AFL. Organized as the Society of JOurneymen Sailmakers of the Port of New York in 1883, the new UIU affiliate has a long tradition of achievement.
 The oldest existing records of the union, dated Aug. II, 1862, report that the sailmakers assessed themselves $l a month to establish a service relief fund to be used to aid families of journeymen sailmakers who had vol unteered or been drafted into military service in the northern armies during the civil war.
 Among the achievements of Local 1 were reducing working hours as early as 1876 to nine daily for the then high wage of $500 a day. As early as 1904, the local succeeded in estab- fishing the eight-hour day in the port. Only a few months later, the local succeeded in establishing time and a half payment for overtime.

Draft Extension
 Up For Hearings By Senate Body
With Peacetime Conscrip- ton Drive Abated, SS Con-
 tinuation Sought

WASHINGTON LPA) - Open hearings before the Senate Military Affairs Committee were continuing this week on whether or not the draft should be continued. Senate supporters of peacetime cOnscrip- ton had abandoned for the time being any effort to put over such a bill, and were trying instead to get the Selective Service Act extended for a year. April 9 is now the deadline set by the committee for a vote on the hotly contested issue, on which members last week were evenly divided, 8 to 8.
 Meanwhile, on the House side of Congress, there was debate within the Military Affairs Committee on whether to allow opposition witnesses to be heard, before taking a vote on the question of extending the draft for a year. Speaker Sam Rayburn has indicated that he will try to get a final vote on the floor before members of the House leave for the informal Easter vacation" the last two weeks in April.

Cleary of the State Teamsters Joint Council appealed to the national and international representatives present not to delay sending organ izers into Connecticut.

 Following is the text of the Be- nard resolution voted by the confer ence:
 GROSSLY UNDERPAID"
 WHEREAS, thousands of work CTS in Connecticut are grossly un- derpaid and unable to live in health and decency, and
 WHEREAS, their plight is due to the unequal bargaining position they as individuals are in because they are unorganized, and
 WHEREAS, this conference of American Federation of Labor un- ions in Connecticut firmly believes that the economic salvation of these workers lies in organization, and
 'WHEREAS, both the National and the State Labor Relations Acts give the protection of law to em-

 and the clerical and laboring staff.'
 Wages at the UNO roughly follow U. s. civil service scales with a 40- hour week and overtime pay regula- tions to be worked out as soon as UNO can catch its breath. Sick leave is already in force. Severance pay is five days for every months service and starting Jan. 1, 1947, UNO will pay an allowance for each child to all its permanent employees. That's a European practice, to equa1ize the burden each employe has to bear," Capel1a explained. Equal pay for equal work for women and men is strictly observed-that's also in ac- cord with the UNO charter.

Cordova Fighting For Life; Strike Shuts Off Food

CORDOVA-It isn't very pleas an. to watch a man slowly strangle to death.
 t is far worse to watch an en- tire town gasping for life, to see the expedient, to keep on func- tiCning, which would be amusing if they weren't so pathetic. If you want drama in the raw, come to Cordova.
 Cordova is in dire circum- stances, even worse than Sitka, its transport and supply virtually cut off for nearly three months due to the maritime strike. Right now it is fighting to keep alive until the relief ship Grommet Reefer from Seattle arrives, next Monday or Tuesday, they hope.
 Take a brief look at this help less town as William Schulze, Seattle Post-Intelligencer cores pendent saw it this morning:
 There are two groceries in town. Both are closed, because they have nothing to sell. Nothing, that is, except such items as few cans or jars of such things as olives or maraschino cherries, or few packages of paper napkins and the like, items which don't spell food in any language. Grocery shelves here are virtually bare.
 The only supply has been by transport plane at $500 a ton. Lines form at grocery doors when these driblets come in, lines that rival those for nylons in Seattle
 Merle Smiths Cordova Air Service, which has managed to save the town thus far, brought in three and a half tons of potatoes the other day at 1 pm. The stores were sold out by 3 pm. and no purchased got more than 10 pounds.
