NO OFFENSE. A new Lincoln story
came to US last week and it's already
one of our favorites:
On hot day in Washington, a
little colored lad was caught dangling
his toes in the pool that lies in front
of the Lincoln Memorial Building.
The bustling old man who caught
him summoned policeman and COM
planned at great length about how
children were so disrespectful nova
days.
Il guess you're right, sir" said the
policeman. Then he looked away
from the frightened little culprit to
the great statue of Lincoln in the
colonnade of the building. But
somehow, l don't think it would of
bothered him a bit"
TOO BAD! We don't want to alarm
you, but there is serious new short

CHAMP. That ''life-begins-at 40"
routine takes fearsome beating from
Alb Jenkins, former mayor of Salt
Lake City and champion auto racer.
Now 63. an age when most people
begin to wonder about Social Security
regulations, Alb is out to break the
world speed record of 369 miles an
hour, is aiming for an even 400.
Jenkins, who has held more auto
speed records than any man in
history, is a durable character with
the physique of a first-string college
tackle. Driving a car "a hours with
out break and then walking away
from it is routine stuff for him.
A construction man by trade, Alb
quit in 1926 when he found business
was interfering with his racing. That
same year he raced train across the
country, beat it by "a hours.
RESCUE. In 35 years of racing he's
had only one accident. That was in
1889 when his car caught fire and his
son had to haul him from the flames.
While he was in the hospital a
group of Salt Lake City people urged
him to run for mayor on platform
which would include correcting the
city's deplorable traffic conditions
Alb ran and won - by ID votes.
When his opponent demanded a re-
count, Abs margin jumped to an
overwhelming s. He went to work on
traffic conditions and anti-noise ordi-
nances. He was tough on motorists
who used their horns to announce
arrival at a girls house or to attract
service at a hamburger stand. Said
Alb: "A horn is not a love call or cry
of hunger"

AFL Organ Calls For Hoover Exit From Food Scene
Journal Asks Truman To Install Expert In Plenty,
 Not Hunger

MINNEAPOLIS FP) For the welfare of the people of the Unit ed States and the hungry of the world" says the Minneapolis Labor Review (AFL), President Truman should take former President Hoover to the side door of the White House and let him exit silently and unnoticed, putting someone in charge of feeding the world who is an expert in plenty, not an expert in hunger"
 Truman's appointment of Hoover as his representative on world relief the journal says, is something that organized labor cannot fathom. In Minneapolis Hoover reduced the con dition of people to such a pitiful point that they were compelled to burn peat, the only fuel they could afford because they could dig it free. It was under President Hoover that the brave men of the bonus army were shot down."

 Cruikshank told the House Ways and Means, Committee that in addi- tion to the changes already suggested the Social Security Act should be simplifed and made more understand able to the people.
 Testifying before the subcommit- tee on Health of the House Inter- state and Foreign Commerce Com mittee, Cruikshank said that new hospitals and health centers are a step ill the right direction but that the country needs an effective health insurance program, as we'll.

Case Bill Out, Senate Turning
 To New Measure
Seeks To Strengthen Con ciliation, Mediation Now
 That Slave Bill Is Dead

Washington (LPA) - H g thrown the Case (slave labor) Bill out of the window, the Senate Labor and Education Committee settled down this week to the final drafting of measures aimed at strengthening Fed eral conciliation and mediation serv- ices.
 A preliminary version of the new bill, drawn up by subcommittee under the leadership of Sen. James E. Murray (D., Mont.), calls for positive encouragement of collec- tive bargaining; for strengthening cOnciliation machinery; for five man mediation board as an inde- pendent unit within the Labor Dept with supervision over the Consolidation Service, and finally for voluntary arbitration machinery.
 President Truman's proposed "fact- finding" boards and compulsory cool ing off periods are omitted from the preliminary draft. Murray insisted there are ample facilities now to get all the facts anybody needs" and that besides, Truman can appoint such boards now, if he wants to- without any legislation
 Hitting at the Case bill, Murray added that nothing can be gained by attempts to penalize or strait jacket labor"
 The right to strike is a fundamen- tai right that labor has won after long years of struggle" he said "All we need now Is stronger mediation and conciliation."

Ickes Launches Drive Backing Roosevelt Policy
Warns Truman Must Stand Up For FDR's Blueprint
 or Lose Liberal Support

NEW YORK-(FP)-Setting off a drive for an independent politi- cal movement in the U.S., Harold L. Ickes March IA called on Presi- dent Truman ''to stand up aggres- sively for the foreign and domestic policies of President Roosevelt" if he wants its support.
 IckeS' first major speech since his break with the administration was made at dinner welcoming him as executive chairman of the Independent Citizens Committee of the Arts Sci ences & Professions. His message was by James Roosevelt, new political organization director for the ICC, which since its origin in 1914 as voters committee to help reelect President Roosevelt has become a na- tionwide progressive organization
 SFEPC Embalmed'
 Many of the things that we fought for during the last decade or two are in very real danger of becoming lost, 7" Ickes warned. "The Fair Employment Practices Committee is for all practi- cal purposes full of embalming fluid the full employment bill little more than a pious resolution the medical program moldering in some dank corner of Congress
 Responsibility for the conserva- ton of President RoOsevelt's ideals has passed into the hands of Presi- dent Truman. Whenever the issue has been drawn, Pres. Truman has been found speaking for those poli- cies, but more than words are The times call for action that has Ot been forthcoming.
 "We must organize citizens in all parts of the country, who will act as a unit in the various districts begin ming with the November election, to assure the reelection of present fiber al representatives and senators and the victory of additional ones, so that the next Congress will possess at least a balance of power in both houses that will support liberal legislation
 Truman Must Be Liberal
 Such an independent movement would support President Truman so long as he advocated and fought for the liberal policies of his great prede- cessor if he will use his veto powers more often and more forceful- 1y and stand up to the monied interests and the political bosses"

Senate Group To
 Weigh Plan For 2,7OO,OOOHomes
Veterans, Labor Urged To Bring Pressure After
 House Defeat

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Urgent appeals to veterans and labor and civic groups to insist that members of Con gresS vote for the 2,700,000 home vet erans emergency housing program were renewed here this week.
 Still smarting from the defeat administered the Patman bill in the House, attention was being con- centrated on the Senate. The Pat man measure, which in its original form would provide for extension of price controls to new and old houses, and for a 5000, ,OOO, ,OOO subsidy fund to stimulate prOduc- ton of scarce building materials, is now before the Senate Banking and Currency Committee.
 The Senate committee which is pre- pairing a report on the long-range Wagner -Ellender-T General Hous- ing Bill, is not expected to take up the House version of the Patman bill until almost the end of March. It is currently holding hearings on the pro- posed loan to Great Britain.
 Vets Will March
 A threat that veterans might or ganize a march on Washington to i'm press Congress with their support of the housing program was made by Franklin D. Roosevelt IT, in a speech to the National Public Housing Con- ference in New York.
 ''I'm warning our House of un- Representatives in Washington that unless they do something about housing," young FDR said, ''they' Ire going to have veterans marching down to see them. And I'll be with them."
 He charged that the nations law makers would rather listen to, real estate Hobbies and building materials lobbies and preserve the sign of the almighty dollar than get homes for the soldier"

Labor and government officials consider that this backlog of savings, in the hands of many people instead of just a few flnanciers, is a valuable safeguard against inhation.
