Organized Labor Plans Great Drive To Aid Red Cross
New Haven Chapter And Branches Have $3O2, ,75O Quota-Gumbert Estimates 439o Earmarked For
 Veterans Green Urges AFL Support

Organized labor everywhere has wholeheartedly endorsed the annual Red Cross appeal for funds which gets underway on March 1, with a goal of $3O2,750 for the New Haven Chapter and its branches.
 Even though the "cease fire" order has been sounded, William B. Gum bart, local chairman says "the war and its by-products still remain the chief problem of the Red Cross" He estimated that 43 per cent of this years budget was earmarked for serv- ice men, veterans and their families.
 William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor en- dorsed the Red Cross campaign by stating, Members of the American Federation of Labor support the American Red Cross with the full knowledge of its humanitarian services in this country and throughout the world"
 George Meany, Secretary-treasurer of the American Federation of Labor added his endorsement by saying, sDisaster Relief and Home Service of the American Red Cross will play role of ever increasing prominence in peace time America"
 Matthew Woll, president of the American Federation of Labor League for Human Rights says Until the last of our occupation forces return, until each veteran successfully bridges the change over to civilian life, the services of the American Red Cross will be doubly important"

Finally Hearings Se+ On SS Revision

Washington (LPA)-A two-year- old Congressional bottleneck has been broken. The House Ways and Means Committee finally has agreed to put social security law revision and exten- sion on the agenda for discussion in the next session of Congress.
 Chairman Robert L. DOughton O., N.C.) said last week that the matter of Congressional action on President Roosevelt's and President Truman's suggested revisions of the long-stagnant legislation would be taken up shortly after Congress recOnvenes.
 Even before 1946 tax legislation, said Doughton, the broadening of so- cial security, such as is proposed in the Wagner. Murray Dingell bill, would at least be discussed in open session.

Minimum Wage Of Csc Needed In State Also

 Other low wage industries, MT Rourke said, were power laundrles retail trade, cleaning and dyeing. He also referred to office workers as among low salaried employees.
 Standup And Be Counted
 "We can count upon Representa- tive Woodhouse from this district and four other Congressmen from this state, including Representative Luce I believe, to vote for this legislation Mrs. Luce, it is reported, told dele gation of unionists who discussed minimum wage legislation some time ago that she favored the 65 cents an hour proposal.
 Quite Another Story
 With Representative Talbot of the Fifth District, it is another story. The only Representative from Connecticut who voted for the vicious anti-labor Case bill, it is hardly likely that he would SUD- port the Pepper minimum wage law, as he has demonstrated that he accepts the National Manufac- turers Associations legislative pro- gram in its entirety, and the NAM despite its lip-service to a high wage policy, is opposed to improv- ing the Fair Labor Standards Act. "
 Everybody Likes McMahon
 MT. Rourke said it was a great day for Connecticut when Senator Brien McMahon was elected, and praised him for the friendly attitude toward labor that he had displayed since he had been in the Senate.
 ''It is too bad that in many in- stances,' declared the speaker, ''Senator Hart has been on the Op- posite side, with the result that Senator McMahon's votes were can- celled out. On an issue of this sort with its broad humanitarian as- poets, it is to be hoped that Sena- tor Hart will join in striking blow against poverty in our land. After all, 65 cents an hour means only $26 a week for a 40 hour week, and a bare subsistence mainten- ance budget for family of four calls for about $36 a week, while a health and efficiency budget re- quires about $6O a week, at pres ent prices"
 The New London Central Labor Union was praised by the labor lead CT from New Haven for its civic in- terest in its efforts to further the New London harbor development He assured the delegates that the Con- necticut Federation of Labor would do all it could to aid the central body in its goal.

HUNTINGTON PARK, Calf. U (FP)-"They looked husky enough to keep any striker in his place." For that reason the U. s. Employment Service here referred three veterans to private detective agency in nearby Los Angeles, which was recruiting strikebreakers.
 But the three vets - Al Rowan, Paul T. Huckaby and Gene M. Stills were members of the Veterans of Foreign Wars, Earle w. Odell post, half of whose members are union men.
 So they weren't having any strike busting jobs and they quickly re- ported the UES attempt to their post, which demanded that refer ral of strikebreakers ''be discontin- ued immediately and the USES re- main entirely neutral in strike situ- atiOns."
 The VFW post further blasted "any attempt to utilize veterans as vigi lantes or strikebreaking musicle men. !"

 Another order is to follow, Tru- man said, on the exact powers which Bowles will have in his new iob. Major issue is whether or not Bowles' orders can be vetoed by Snyder.
 Truman, in stating the reasons for his new orders, said:
 q am authorizing the National Wage Stabilization Board to approve any wage or salary increase or part thereof, which is found to be consistent with the general pattern ot wage or salary adjustments established in the industry or local labor market area since Aug. IS, 1945. Where there IS no such general pattern, provision IS made for the approval of increases found necessary to eliminate gross ln- equities as between related industries, plants, or job classihications, or to correct substandards of living or to correct disparities between the in crease in wage or salary since Jan: 1o41. and the increase in the cost ot living between that date and Septem- Der. 1o45."
 Strict Enforcement
 Speaking directly contrary to the view of Snyder and Civilian Produc- ton Administrator John Small, Tru- man stated that "priorities and alloca- tions powers will be used vigorously wherever necessary to prevent in creases in prices. There will be a strict enforcement of inventory con- trols. The resources of the Treasury and Justice Departments will be called upon when necessary to assist in en- forcing these controls"

answer in the Theater Guild announcement that the
Nobel prize playwright 1885 will be represented
on Broadway in the 1946-47 season by two new
plays after 12-year lapse.
They will be new plays in the sense that they
never have been produced. But the first one that
will be shown in the fall of 1916, was written in
1889 That is "The Tcemdn COnaeth."
The second production for next season will be

It's existence was announced shortly after it was
completed but various reasons have held up its
production, such the fact that ONeills health
was none too robust for several years and he didn't
feel up to coming here to supervise it, or that he
didn't believe the times right for its presen-
tation.
1t is known to have a saloon background, with
a philosophical gent as the chief protagonist. The
'Iceman" is death.
When the Guild puts it on, Eddie Bowling,
rently co-producer and co-star of "The Glass

Of the other two announced plays, the one not
done in the 1946-47 will be held over for

FEDERAL LAND BANK
NOW FARM-OWNED

The Federal Land Bank of Co
lumbia is now entirely owned by
the farmer members of the IS
national farm loan associations
and a small number of direct Dor
rowers in the Third Farm Credit
District, according to statement
received this week from Julian
H. Scarborough, president of the
bank, by 0. H. Bracey. secretary
treasurer of the North Wilkesboro
National Farm Loan Association.
''The final payment of approx
mately $5,O00,000 of the Govern
ment's investment was made on
May L." Secretary Treasurer O..
H. Bracey said.
The initial capital of the Fed
eral Land Bank of Columbia of
$750,O00 was provided by the
Government when the bank was
chartered on March 16, 1917. This
capital was gradually repaid as
the national farm loan associa-
tons purchased capital stock in
the bank and by 1928 all Govern
ment capital had been returned.
During the period 1928 the
Government again invested in the
capital and surplus of the bank
to enable it to meet the tremend-
Gus demand for farm mortgage
credit existing during that time.
The bank has been paying off
this Government investment as
rapidly as possible and completed
payment in full on May 1.
Nearly all of the banks capital
of some $2,600,0OO is owned by
the IS national farm loan asso-
Citations in North Carolina South
Carolina, Georgia and Florida.
Only a small amount is owned
by farmer borrowers who have
obtained direct loans from the
, bank. The capital of the asso-
citation is owned entirely by their
farmer members: thus, the capital
of the land bank is indirectly
owned by farmer users of the
credit facilities of the bank.
