Asks Vets Report
 All Violations Of HOusingPrOgram
Send All Complaints To CPA Compliance Office
 For Quick Action

Violators of the Veterans Hous- ing Program building restrictions car and should be held in check by the veterans of World War II in whose behalf the restrictions were imposed Regional CPA Compliance chief, John Brownel1 declared today.
 Brownel1 appealed to veterans and all other supporters of the Veterans Housing Program to report suspected violators of the housing order to his office at 40 Broad Street, Boston.
 'AIl complaints will receive prompt attention. Needless work for this office can be cut to the minimum, however, if the com plainant will first determine whether or not the builder of the suspect construction has displayed either the yellow CPA authorization sign or the red, white, and blue sign issued to all authorized home construction by FILA"
 "The only exception to this rule is that FILA does authorize certain home maintenance and repair jobs of more than $400 without issuing a p1acard but in most cases these jobs are o1 such a nature that the essentiality is obvious.
 Browne11 said that his office has in- vestigated more than 5000 complaints since the federal building ban went into effect on March 26.
 CPA Compliance offices are To- cated in Boston, Hartford, Provi- dence, Burlington, Springfield, Manchester and Bangor.

HERE'S WHAT LABOR NEEDS
HERE'S WHAT LABOR NEEDS Unions Unite On
 Own Health Plan

Washington IPA) - A Labor Project for Medical Care to be launched under the auspices of the m W Iy organized Cooperative Health Federation of America has been announced by Harry Becker, President of Group Health AssOcia. ton of Washington, following a meeting of the Board of Directors of the health federation at Column bus, Ohio.
 Becker stated that the object of the Labor Project for Medical Care will be "to assist union organizations tc organize prepaid direct medical serv- ice programs for their members and in cooperation with other groups ir local communities. He said that the committee which will carry on the project will contain representatives oi both AFL and CIO.
 James Carey, CIO secretary treasurer, and Nelson Cruikshank. AFL social security director, are two of the members of the board of incorpOrators of the new fedora. ton.
 Unions sponsoring direct medical service programs can provide more comprehensive service of high qual- ity for the money spent than can commercial insurance programs, Becker asserted. He cited the expert ence of the Intl Ladies Garment Workers Union and the Labor Health Institute in St.. Louis as ex- amp1es. "The ideal situation is repre- sented by the Group Health Coopera- tive of Puget Sound'' he said "where unions are joining with other com munity groups to provide a central hospital and local health centers which will be owned and managed by the users of the services.
 Raps Blue Cross
 It is common knowledge that the consumer receives only fraction of the premium paid in commercial pro- grams, Becker said. "The experience of the last few years is demonstrating likewise that it is not enough to have simply some kind of disqualification through Blue Cross or otherwise. Blue Cross by itself or in cooperation with doctor-s sponsored prepayment plans IS not the answer to providing compre- hensive medical service"
 The American Medical Associa- ton and the commercial insurance companies have entered into a con- spiracy to stop the development of 'user-owned medical service pro- grams," Becker charged. Specifi- cally, he cited a recent statement in the Health and Accident Review, commercial company trade jour- nal, in which Dr. Morris Fishbein, ANA Journal editor, was quoted as saying that the Journal would carry a ''scorching" editorial about the new health federation. The insur- ance journal, Becker said, carried the report that the ANA was CO., operating with the commercial in- surance companies in efforts to smother the development of con- sumner programs aimed at assur- ance of the right to medical care on basis related to need, and not ability to pay.

Income Tax Due On Back Salaries

Washington. D. C.-The U. S. Treasury decided that employers must withhold income taxes from back pay awards made to employees under de- cisions handed down by the National Labor Relations Board. This decision by the Treasury goes into immediate effect
 This decision reverSes the practice in effect heretofore but is not retro active. According to Commissioner ]. D. Nunan, Jr., the policy change is the result of Supreme Court decision regarding Social Security taxes last February 25, and evidently, Nunan says, applies also to income tax with holding.

DETROIT-(FP)-Dai1y reading of the Lords prayer and the 10 com mandments, pressured by a powerful united front of religious denomina- tionS, was turned down b. the Detroit board of education in a stormy session Sept. 10 in order to maintain the American constitutional separation of church and state.
 '1t is irOnical," commented Member John H. Webster of the school board, ''that religion, while being the most elevating principle in civilization, can at the same time be source of so much bitterness and dissension. It is for that req. son that the public schools are non. sectarian."
 Officers of the Detroit Federation of Teachers (AFL) commented pre- viously that learning by rote or yer batin repetition had been proved a poor method of learning elevating principles.

MONTPELIER, VT, Feb. %. -
Vermont "shopped around" be-
fore joining the union and at one
time seriously considered becom-
ing part of Canada.
The present chief executive,
Governor Mortimer R. Proctor,
got details of the dickering from
a manuscript report purchased in
Boston recently.
/ The report, dater Jan. IL, 1892
was written by a Vermont legis-
lature committeeman, William
Page, from a New Hampshire
Jail to which he had been com
mitted after fighting for Yer
mont'S land rights.
Page told of the Legislative
committees discussions with
Congress about the possibility Of
Vermont entering the union.
Meeting Fails
Nothing came of the confab,
however, as both New Hamp-
shire and New York were reput-
ed to be opposed to Vermont's
admission unless she conceded
land on both the east and west
boundaries.
