5000 Transit Workers
In Chicago Get Raise

Chicago.-An hourly increase of Is
cents for 5000 employees of the Chi
cago Rapid Transit Co., who operate
the city's streetcar and elevated lines,
was approved by the U. S. District
Court here.
The increase launched legal bat
tie over a tWo-cent raise in fares,
which the company instituted when
the Amalgamated Street Electric
Railway and Motor Coach Employees
(AFL) first made it's demands. The
Illinois Commerce Commission ruled
the fare boost was unnecessary. Re-
fusal of the company to cut the fare
to 10 cents was upheld in the Circuit
Court.

MORE PROOF SLUMS BREED
CRIME

The truism that slums breed crime
long pointed out by organized labor
sociologists and others-was graph.
cally illustrated recently by study
in Chicago showing that 81 percent Of
the city's murders during the last year
were committee in one small blightec
area.
The 3-square-mile area considered
in the study has a population of 300,-
900, the American Society of Planning
Officials says. 1t was concluded that
inadequate housing was major fac
tor contributing to the high crime
rate.
In addition to being the scene of
the disproportionate number of mur-
ders, the blighted area also was re-
sponsible for 1913 percent of all the
robberies and 24.9 percent of all rape
offenses committed last year in Chi
cago.

Outer Mongolia, and also to render
moral support and assistance with
military equipment and other material
resources to the National Government
only,
Madame Sun now warns us that if
we give military and material aid only
to the National Government of China
(exactly what Russia promised to do),
we will have war with Russia.
rs Madame Sun, who fled to Rus
sia as fugitive in 1927, after her part
in the unsuccessful Communist putsch
in China, and who remained there as a
student of Communism, speaking on
behalf of Moscow where her connec-
tions are undoubtedly of the highest? :?
If this is the case, then President Tru-
man is confronted with the dilemma
that faced President Roosevelt prior
to Pearl Harbor. At that time Presi-
dent Roosevelt could either recognize
Japanese control of China through
puppet governments they had set up,
or stand firmly for the long establish
ed American policies of the Open Door
and independence and territorial in
tegrity of China.
"He chose to uphold American aims
and policy even at the risk of war. The
dilemma confronting President Tru-
man is the same except that the ag-
gressor demanding control of China
by its puppets (if Madame Sun is cor
rect) is Russia now, in place of Japan
then.
''It is unthinkable that threats by
the puppets of Russia will cause our
government to adbandon its peace aims
in the Far East as closely set forth
by President Roosevelt in the Declara-
tion of Cairo"

GET EN- WHILE GETTING IS GOOD

The Unemployment Compensation

former service men in the state some
good advice-advice that is just as

Noting that New Jersey veterans

using up their benefits would have
no backlog to turn to after they were
exhausted. There are many job open

NEWS AND VIEWS
BY ALEXANDER S. LIPSETT
Can ILNS Feature)

Elections are less than three months
away. The campaign is slowly get
| ting into stride. Recent primaries
have left no doubt that the voters are
tired of the fumblings Of an admin
istration which does not know what
it wants nor how to get there. I'm
mindful of the sneers of the high
brow and the wailings of slick-maga-
zine prophets, the American people in
their overwhelming majority want a
return to normalcy; that is, return
to conditions which will permit them
to pursue their own ways, unfettered
by Washington-made inefficiency and
the antics of an overbearing and tax
consuming bureaucracy.
The creation of a pro- Dewey New
York State Labor Committee points
in the right direction. Claims of the
Democratic party and the few remain
ing New Dealers that theirs is the
heaven-ordained mission of looking
after labor's soul and welfare have
been successfully refuted by the rec
ord of the present Republican state
administration. The Dewey admins
tration, as the chairman of the COM
mittee pointed out, "has made every
possible effort to assist labor in the
achievement of its legitimate aims
and has fostered epoch making social
legislation, much of which has been
used as models for other states to
follow"
Proof? ? We need only look at New
York state rent legislation. Where
the nations administrative master
minds endlessly Grated, Gov. Dewey
and the State Legislature acted. AS
result, the empire state had laws
which protected the rent-paying pub
lie from gougings when the OPA col
lapsed of it's own elephantine over
weight.
That 200 labor leaders and group
of unions have already joined the COM
mittee goes to prove the sympathies
of substantial elements of organized
labor with the progressive policies of
the Dewey state administration. To
refute this record will take more than
the coordinated mud-slinging of rab-
blerOusers who have nothing to offer
but empty formulas and class struggle
slogans. 1t is sign of growing labor
independence to find the American
Federation of Labor at the head of
this move. The working people of
New York State, unswayed by parti-
san politics, can be relied on to sepa-
rate the wheat of solid achievement
from the chaff of empty campaign
promises.
Which brings us, SO to speak, to the
other end of the political scale. The
American Communist party has final
ly returned to the fold of traditional
militancy and strict adherence to
"class-conscious Marxist- feminist the
ories." Infiltration is and remains
favorite Communist game, but right
now the Communists want to be rec
ognized by the people for what they
are. We, too, like them better that
way.
A few months ago, era of class
collaboration went into the ashcans
with the ousting Of party chairman
Earl Browder. William e. Foster, old
party horse and strict follower of
Kremlin directives, took over Once

mandos Of the Moscow hatchetmen

Linquist Offers to Teach
 UN Members English Free

New York, Sept. 16-(UP)-There were at least 18 men at the United Nations today with just cause to punch Max Sherover.
 They're professional interpreters and he's after their jobs.
 Sherover, who teaches foreign languages to 3O,0O0 persons a year through his linguaphone school, guarantees that he would have all members of the Security Council speaking English like veterans with in three months - thus elimin- ating any further need for time consuming interpretations.
 T will do this free of charge" |" he said, because I believe the need for better and swifter understanding is urgent.
 Will Use Any Language
 Sherover is already familiar with all the delegates voices. He has cut more than 50 records of their meetings.
 'The LIN is planning to try out simultaneous interpretation" he said, but it can do better than that. If the members give me only two hours a day, I'll teach them confidence in any language"
 If they don't wish to spar in English, he'll teach them all either

Rep. ToIbot's Statement On Refusal

Tn telegram forwarded from Arlington, Va, to The Waterbury Democrat late yesterday, Rep. Jo- seph E. Talbot states his reasons for refusing renomination as Congress man. The Naugatuck Solon's state ment is:
 Both before and after the recent state convention I told Firth Dis trict party leaders that I would not accept renomination to Congress under any conditions.
 Following my withdrawal from the gubernatorial race when it be- came obvious that the nominees were to be selected by one man rather than elected by an open convention, my spokesman told leaders that would decline if re- nominated to Congress and that the rendering of the nomination would be embarrassing to them and to me.
 T had hoped that I would not have to make this statement but I am sure that a simple refusal without explanation would make 1t appear that I was badly treating those who stood by me so Loyalty in my fight for the gubernatorial nomination.
 T am deeply grateful to all of them but have pleaded with them to believe me when say that I am not one who changes his mind. Since the state convention I am more determined if possible in my refusal.
 T hope everyone will understand why I cannot, in conscience, run with and become a part of ticket that is the product of a one-man convention. It is at least possible that my motives would be ques- toned. I believe in the principles of the Republican Party but I can- not assist in carrying the standard of that party in this state while it is under complete domination and is deaf to the voice and will of its own members.
 T have today notified the com- mittee that I decline the nomina- tion for Congress. It Is my sincere hope that my good friends will understand my position"

By ROSETTE HARGROVE NEA Staff COrreSnondent

Paris, Sept. (NEA)-At this stage in the fall fashion showings, 1t is evident that the Paris creators are all bent on spurring women to forget the austerities of war years end to return to 24-hour-a-day ele- gance.
 The Paquin collection, a good ex- ample of the trend, continues that designers world-renowned tradition of impeccable workmanship plus quality design and refinement of details which are direct challenge to the continued shortages of all kinds.
 Femininity B the keynote throughout. Even informal models and tailleurs evidence new softness and gayety of coloring. Raglan sleeves and dropped shoulder lines distinguish coats and jackets which ring long forgotten luxurious note by the addition of quality furs such as astrakhan, lynx, silver fox, and beaver. The Paquin skirts are slightly shorter, but nevertheless knees are well-covered.
 RedOlent of Fantasy
 Elegant tailleurs with wrist-length jackets are of colorful tweeds usu- ally topped by matching coat, either fur-lined or generously fur trimmed. Afternoon gowns are red olent of fantasy, offering hip length swaggers with bias fullness starting from the shoulders, both front and back, and sometimes hemmed with a deep band of fur; these are expressed in bright shades of red, yellow and green over black or other dark colors.
 Bi-colored combinations appear jr town coats as we'll as dresses, s seen in a slender redingote with a top of light sage green and bot tom of darker shade, trimmed with a wide band of beaver down the front over a dress of broche faille plaid design exactly matching the fur.
 Sophisticated afternoon ensembles of black crepe velvet duveyne showed jackets generously trimmed with astrakhan or silver fox outlin- ing the hem or collar and pockets,

over dresses that usually are high necked, slim-sleeved and subtly draped below the hips.
 Evening gowns are spectacular, with a predominance of the roman tic in silks with billowing skirts and bodices that alternate between strapless and ultra-low decollettes, fitting over blouses reaching to the hipbone, usually expressed in velvet or directly contrasting color.
 Return to Elegance
 If, after Lelongs opening shot in which he used stuffed ermine shoul- der decoration for ammunition, more evidence is needed of the re- turn to elegance, these items by Paquin should suffice:
 Siren sheath gowns of back wool crepe trimmed with an enormous stylized bow of sequin pansies in stained glass shades underscoring trailing gold skirt with slashed hemline.
 A hat trimmed with velvet arti- choke.
 Shades of green called eucalyptus, sage, lime and fern.
 But the more sutble MolyneauX sticks to his masterful simple line with restrained trimmings-elegant, but austere. Hil silhouette is youth ful with rounded shoulders and skirts still short; he replaces fitted jackets with jaunty boxcoats, bright for sports, black for town; his after noon dresses follow shirtwaist lines, and his evening gowns are divided between the sweeping picture gown with strapless or single halter top and the more sophisticated clinging black crepe sheaths.
 His hats are velvet pillboxes, worn of the brow to top informal en- semble, or dressier, small brimmed chapeau of ostrich in pastel tones. And, to contrast the predominance of the "snakeweed" silhouette" in the style capital this year, Molly neaux shows an ankle-length dance frock with gracefully swirling skirts snd high bodice with a tightly swathed band of cerise satin, fin- ished with a deep fold of black vel vet for the twin strap decollete.

French or Italian.
 Paul Robeson, famous Negro sing CT, learned Russian from Sherover in less than six months.
 Novelist Sinclair Lewis, in one month, learned enough Swedish to make a speech when he accepted the Nobel prize.
 Stars Learned Quickly
 Actress Katherine Cornell took but three months to learn French, while film star Joan Bennett learned Spanish-for Mexican role within eight to 10 weeks.
 Security Council members, be- cause they already are familiar with at least one language other than their own, would learn much fast ter," Sherover said.
 Actually all present members of the Security Council already speak at least conversational English Three of the II do not speak Eng fish of the Council discussions.
 Pedro Leao Velloso of Brazil speaks French, as does Alexander Parodi of France. Andrei Kromyko speaks his native Russian, but could easily argue in English if. he wished. It is believed that, for reasons of prestige, he has orders from Moscow to keep it in Russian. Faces Refusal So, even though the offer si for free, 1t looks as if Sherover is cer- tain to be turned down.
 For one thing, present United Nations rules procedure demand that all meetings be conducted Cat least for the record) in both French and English.
 A LIN spokesman said today that Security Council members probably would even put thumbs down on simultaneous interpretation, such as was used at Nuremberg, when it si given a tryout on Sept. Is.
 The simultaneous interpretation trials will be directed by Col. Leon Dostert, formerly Gen. Dwight Eisenhower's personal interpreter.
 Too Fast for LIN
 The system uses 20 interpreters, who start their thanslations even before the speaker had finished sentence. They put his words into English, French, Russian, Spanish, and Chinese.
 The listener, equipped with head phones, merely pushes button to get the version that he desires.
 "But that's too fast for the Se- curity Council" the LIN spokesman explained, They like the time talk out for interpretations-it gives breather, and a chance to think.
 Sherover said that there was only one reason behind any groups re- fusal to use a common language.
 T call it cussedness and human vanity" he said.
