AFL Pilots Vote

1900 Affected In Proposed VIVA. Walkout For
 Wage Increase

WASHINGTON IPA)-By an overwhelming vote of SIP to 9, the Air Line Pilots Ass'n.-AFL. served formal notice last week of inten- ton to strike against Transconti- mental & Western Air Inc. The pilots, whose top salaries are now around $l3,2OO a year, are de- manding increases to about $16,- 900 and a reduction in flying time of about 10 per cent.
 David L. Behncke, president of the AFL flyers, said that the strike would be the first in the history of the na- tion's airlines. The strike notice was filed with the National Mediation Board under the Railway Labor Act and requires the appointment of an emergency board by the President and a 30-day waiting period before either side can take action.
 1900 Pilots Affected
 Although the strike chiefly involves pilots of the four -motored Constela- tions and Skymasters, about 100 planes and 1900 pilots and co-pifots would be grounded

 Witnesses May Talk
 Thus, if it comes to a showdown the board could vote four officers against two e. I.'s," and the latter would have to be bold to buck the brass"
 Under strange ruling, the hear ings are held behind closed doors, but when the witnesses leave they are all lowed to tell newspaper men what they said.
 Get rid of the theory that an off cer breathes special air and is a gen leman while the enlisted man is not. " That was the advice the board receiv- ed from "Bill' Mauldin, whose fa- nous cartoons have long been getting under the militarists' hide.
 Of Course, He Likes It
 The criticism of the present army system is merely hysteria," said an officer, William R. Kintner. He grad uated from West Point in 194O and in ordinary times would be a first lieutenant or captain The war boost ed him to lieutenant colonel, and he think the army is just fine

''There is no way of getting rid of bad officers. It would be better if they could be busted down to private"
 Anyone who has served in the army knows that non-commissioned officers are frequently busted" to private, but that a commissioned officer whc is lazy, inefficient or unequal to com bat duties is simply transferred. An officer is rarely busted" unless he commits a crime
 Insists System Is at Fault
 Gausmann said Doolitt1e seems to be agreeing with officer witnesses that poor officers, rather than the caste system. are the cause of complaints by enlisted men,
 ''But the system has as much to do with producing that kind of officers as they have with rum ming the system," he declared.
 Like the army, the navy is feeling the pressure of public opinion aroused by former sailors. This week it set up a board of 40 civilians to advise the navy on practices disapproved by the public"

Firm Pays Prexy $47,943 More But. Fought l8c Raise

MIDDLETOWN, o. CPD = While the steel industry was bitter ly fighting an l8c raise for its em- plOyes, President Charles R. Hook of American Rolling Mill Co. was featherbedding his compensation by almost 4O9o, according to infor- nation disclosed by the company in accordance with federal security and exhange commission regula- tions.
 Hook, a former president of the National Association of Manufactur- CTS, paid himself in 1945 total of $148>338.12 as compensation This, the company secretary reports, was $7, : 4o397 more than Hook took from the company in 1914. The two vice presi- dents, Calvin Verity and w. w. Se- bald, did even better by themselves on percentage basis.
 Verify drew $117,566.72 as com pensation in 1945, which was $42,- 6l4.l6, or over 55@o, greater than in l944. Sebald took $88, 1922. 78 in l945, an increase of $32,993.82, or 6O%o, over l944.

Republican Cuts Political Throat

WASHINGTON (LPA) )-- Any hopes that Republican liar old Stassen might have nourished for coralling organized labor's vote in his bid for the White House took a swift nose dive last week when an AFL official de nounced his appeal for anti-labor legislation.
 A three-point ''Iabor" program advocated by the Minnesotan at a Republican convention in Maine was condemned by union spokes- men as little more than reflection of the notorious Ball-BurtOn-Hatch bill which all sections of labor Op- posed last year.
 AFL Legislative Representative Lewis G. Hines declared that 'Politi- cally speaking, Stassen is cutting his own throat two years ahead of time. His proposals are practically the same as the B2H Bill, and, of course, Stas- sen is closely associated with Sen. Ball whose bill called tor compulsory arbitration. Stassen seems to be fol- lowing the same line as the rest of the reactionaries. But he's dressed 1t Up slightly.
 CompulsiOn
 It means the same thing, compul- sion, denial of constitutional rights and the other trappings of the B2H bill. It would be interesting to see one of these candidates" said Hines, come out with an intelligent pro gram for labor relations. Labor re- lations can't be legislated but they can be improved, through such things as an improved conciliation service" He mentioned the importance of centering all the governments labor relations work in one bureau instead of its pres ent diffusion throughout several de partments.

much faster, much more prOduc- tive, and require a greater degree of skill and the exercise of greater responsibility on the part of the pilots in their operation. As in any other vocation when a mans re- responsibilities and edrning power increase and greater and more ex- acting demands are made on his ability and skill, his rates of com pensation also should increase, but IVA pilots and cO-pilOts have had no upward revision in their rates of compensation

Nurses Picketing

LOS ANGELES-(FP)-Dressed in white uniforms and carrying ban ners proclaiming Cedars Nurses Are NOT on Strike, members of AFL Federal Local 22173 began picketing the Cedars of Lebanon Hospital here to publicize their dispute over recogni- ton.
 For the past 13 months, during which time majority of the nurses joined the Registered Nurses First Aid Mems and Women's Union, the hospital has not only refused to sit down and bargain, but has rejected the services offered by federal agen- cieS to settle the dispute.

However, he said, 'there are toc many commissions and not enouel genuine officers"
 ''The enlisted men don't want to break down discipline" said Joe Mccarthy, former master sergeant and editor of ''Yank," the soldiers newspaper. ''It's the social privilege granted only to officers that we object to-
 Walter H. Cady and Clarence L George, who served both as enlisted men and officers, agreed that tn army should do away with the idle; that an enlisted man is not a gentle man"
 First as Enlisted Men
 Cady said officers should have tc serve first as enlisted men, so they would know the 1atter's problems by first-hand experience.
 That idea has obvious merit, but enlisted men who serve too long il the present army become accustomed to being interiors. Whtn they sudden ly become oft1cehS, some of then either cannot take responsibility ol become overbearing in their new Superiority"
 In other words, appointment of off cers from the ranks is no complete substitute for changing the caste sys- tenn.
 Too Many Officers Are Buns
 Not all officers are buns, but a dlsgustingly large percentage are,' said William C. Gausmann, former "G. l."
 Many officers took care of black market deals while their sergeants did their work.

Guidance Plan
Aids Farmers
Getting Loans

Individual guidance in good farm
and home management practices is
provided by Farm Security admin
istration with all loans, the depart
ment of agriculture emphasizes.
Each loan, the department re-
ports, is based on sound plan for
farm and home management that
is worked out by the borrower and
his family. The plan shows items
the farmer intends to raise, his esti-
mated operating expenses and in
come he may expect to make.
A FSA supervisor, schooled in eff
ficient farm methods, helps each
family make and carry out the plan.
He will supply information on how
to select and care for livestock,
plan crop rotations and put other
good farm methods into practice In
most rural counties home super
visor, trained in home economics,
also is available to assist the family.
Main objects of the guidance plan.
according to FSA, are to help the
farmer "get the most income from
his work, obtain a good living for
his family and repay his loan"

spite was gained when Oren was
placed on inactive duty to help run
the farm, but he later was called
back into service.
Upon their discharge early in
1913, both brothers returned to the
family farm. Intent on purchasing
the 36O-acre farm, previously rent
ed by the family, the brothers ar
ranged the necessary financing with
Farm Security administration,
which permits 40 years at 3 per
cent interest for repayment of farm
purchase loans. A major factor in
the family's success was the diver
sified farming plan which the agen-
cy helped the family to map out.
Faced with a $4,000 debt, contract
ed in purchasing the farm, the
Bowdens embarked on an ambitious
farm program designed to wipe out
the debt in shortest possible time.
Within a year they had paid off
more than half the debt. Today,

Returned Veterans Aid Outlook
For Elderly i. S. Farm Couples
Alabama Brothers
Show Success in
Postwar Venture

Return of veterans from the
armed forces is aiding the f.
nancial outlook for many an ell
derby U. S. farm couple.
Take the Bowdens in Coffee
county, Ala, for example.
Mr.. and Mrs. J. W. Bowden are SO
and So years old, respectively, and,
because of their age, were not able
to make the most out of the farm
they were operating when their sons
were in service.
Upon their return from the armed
forces, Lynn and Oren Bowden
shouldered the job of making iv-
ing for the family and increasing
dividends from the farm. Their
first objective was to buy the farm,
thus raising themselves and their
"old folks" out of the tenant farm
er class.
Since many elderly farmers and
their wives also are looking to their
sons to take over the home farm,
the story of the Bowdens is related
to show what can be accomplished.
Actually the story has its begin
ming in 1886 when, as the elder Bow
den frankly admits, 1--WE were
down and out and had to struggle
to make ends meet" Unable to get
credit from regular lenders for
purchase of feed, seed, fertilizer,
equipment and other farm needs,
the Bowdens resorted to a govern
ment agency, now the Farm Securi-
ty administration, to secure the
necessary funds. Along with the
funds came instruction in sound
farming practices, which en-
abled the Bowden family to i'm
prove the efficiency of their opera
tons.
A period of progress followed, but
the advent of war disrupted all the
family's plans. Both Lynn and Oren
were called into service, resulting
in an acute lack of help on the farm.
Lynn, "A, veteran of both world
wars, entered the army in 1910
when the Alabama National Guard
was called into service. Oren, 81,
also was a member of the National
Guard and entered service early
the following year. A temporary re-

ment agency and the Bowdens are
full owners of their land.
With 160 acres of the farm
under cultivation, the Bowdens
produce peanuts as the main cash
crop. Carrying out their plan OF
diversified farming, they also have
cotton, hogs and IL head of beef
cattle, principally of the Black An
gus type. To develop their herd,
they recently purchased purebred
Angus bull.
Ins1944, the Bowdens marketed 20
tons of peanuts, 5000 worth of hogs,
and $50 worth of cattle. They had
Is other hogs left over for market
ing by the end of that year as well
as IL stock hogs and 2 milk COWS.
Sale of chickens and eggs also add
ed to farm returns.
Marketings the following year in
Guided 20 tons of peanuts, bales
of cotton and about 1888 worth Of
hogs. After these sales, they had
"a Duroc shoats, 4 brood sows and
30 pigs on hand as we'll as their
beef cattle.
The "old folks" are helping the
veterans progress in their farming
venture. The elder Bowden raises
garden produce, selling SIP worth
of cabbage from few rows in his
garden last year. Intent ON increas-
ing the returns, he has planted six
80-foot rows of cabbage this year.
Mrs. Bowden also is active in work
around the house and garden.
Size of the family also has been
increased. After the last farm pay
ment was made, Oren was married
and brought his wife to the family
farm home.
Today the BoWdens are considered
successful Alabama farmers. Each
member of the family does his prop
er share of work and all reap the
benefits of good living on a we'll
operated farm. Furthermore, the
elder Mr.. and Mrs. Bowden can
take more time to enjoy the peace
and security of farm life now that
their boys, like so many others. are
home again from the war.
