point out, synthetics are not likely
to cut into quality cotton goods.
while new industrial uses for cotton
also are being developed.
Two important DEVELOPMENTS in
the cotton-producing States PROM
ises to keep cotton production at a
healthy level and at q lower prizes.
These are diversificstion of agricul-
ture and the mechanisation OF cot
ton plantations.
Diversified Crops.
In the last decade Southern farm
ers who once grew cotton on every
available inch Of their land have
learned that through better agricul-
tural practices better cotton can be
grown on fewer acres and that other
crops can profitably be produced on
the other sections Of their farms.
As a result many Southern farmers
now produce beef and dairy cattle
along with their cotton.
An example Is Oscar Johnston Of
Scott, Miss, head of the National
Cotton Council and considered one
of the worlds largest cotton pro-
ducers.
A few years ago Mr.. Johnston en-
ployed about 900 tenants to produce
one crop-cotton. Since the war,
however, MI. Johnston cut his labor
supply in about half and has de-
veloped pure-bred beef cattle pro-
gram along with cotton. This sort
of change is going on throughout
the South.
The mechanization Of the cotton
plantations has been moving for
ward during the last 10 years. Al
though machines for harvesting
cotton at present are inefficient,
bunglesome and expensive, agricul-
tural scientists believe the day is not
far distant when the cotton picker
will be as efficient and as cheap rs
the modern type Of small combine
It was not many years ago. they
point out. that the combine. too,
was an impractical piece OF ma
chinery for the average farm.
More machinery means, Of course,
greater production with less labor
and at less cost.
And where does the consumer
stand in the cotton picture?
Observers agree that his position
will remain about the same for the
next year or two. While ne is not
likely TO pay much higher prices for
his cotton goods, his shirts and pa
jamas will remain in short supply
until mill production can catch up
with the demand.
Considering the fact that few
civilian cotton goods were produced
during the war and that the demand
has not yet been even partially sup
piled, the consumer is likely to have
to continue his scramble for . shirt
for his back.

a comparatively small amount OF
imported raw materials to produce
from four to eight times their value
in exports are being selected to
participate in this program.
|. AS an example, Gen. Hilldring
said that with a $l,000.0 900 invest
ment for raw materials the cera-
mics industry in the American zone
of Germany could produce for ex-
port within six to nine months from
81 ,000, 900 to $4,000. 900 worth Of
china. Raw materials needed would
include clay. mainly from Czecho-
slovakia. and decorative materials.
such as dyes, paints and gold dust
from the United States.
Another example cited involved
optical precision instruments. Gen.
Hilldring estimated that with $780,
600 worth of raw materials-largely
brass and other special metals from
this country-approximately $4,000
600 worth OF exports could be pro-
duced.
Gen. Hilldring described the cot
ton exports to Germany rs a good
deal for everybody" since the raw
cotton involved was Government
owned surplus, and the German
manufacturers help to relieve the
world textile shortage while provid-
ing Germany with dollars to buy
other necessities. .a
In the discussions with the British
beginning here Tuesday. the United
States will be represented by Gen.
Hilldring and other officials of the
State and War Departments. The
Treasury and Commerce Depart
ments and the Reconstruction
Finance Corp. will assist on partic-
ular problems.
1t. Gen. Lucius D. Clay. deputy
military governor of the American
zone in Germany, has come from
Berlin to take part in the dis
cussions and to consult later with
Secretary of State Byrnes on other
German problems to be considered
by the Big Four Foreign Ministers
in New York.
A group of experts are coming
from London to assist the British
Embassy in the discussions here.

s'Patients have the right to vol untariIy organize for the purpose of securing medical attention for themselves and their families," is the guiding principle of the new health organization, the board wrote Fishbein. The letter contend ed that constituent state societies of the ANA are sponsoring and SUD- porting legislation that prohibits patients from organizing plans for medical care without the express permission of the doctors" Where state medical societies have the power to prevent the formation of prepaid medical care plans, they exercise monopoly control, it was charged.
 Prepaid plans sponsored by the AMA, such as the California Physi- clans Service, the Michigan Medical Service and the newly announced plan of the District of Columbia medical society were sharply criticized by the coop group. It was charged that "their contracts are laden with restric- tions and exclusions" The Coopera- tive Health Federation stated as ob- jectives of consumer-controlled plans, i'll contrast with the medical society

plans, the provision of medical service as opposed to cash indemnities, the development of medical centers rather than insurance agencies.
 TOO MANY CAN'T PAY
 Renewing its support for national health insurance, the Cooperative Health Federation told the AMA that From our own organizing, we are acutely aware that there are all too many American people who cannot pay for an adequate standard of mod ern medical care" The Federation said that to provide medical care. as a matter of charity for people who can not afford to pay for it is neither consistent with good medicine nor with fundamental social justice"
 The letter of the Cooperative Health Federation was prepared by its Executive Committee composed of Dr. Michael Shadid, Community Hospital, Elk City, Okla; George Jacobson, Group Health Mutual, St. Paul, Minn.; Harry Becker, Group Health Assn, Washington, D. C.; Dr. Elmer Richman, Labor Health Institute, St. Louis, Mo-; Winslow Carleton, Group Health Cooperative, Inc, New York City.

he insisted that on his campaign tours he found mo evidence whatever that the people of this country have any desire for unfair labor legislation"
 sThey recognize that indus
 trial harmony cannot be pro-
 duced by any attempt to beat
 down the legitimate rights of
 organized labor," Morse told
 newsmen.
 He reiterated that position n a broadcast as guest speaker on the Labor, USA" program sponsored by work.
 'The vote of the people did not take the form of a mandate for any particular piece of legislation and certainly not for any particu- lar antilabor legislation" Morse said.
 c. o. P. Is on Trial
 He warned that the Republican party is on a ''two-year probation ary period'' and declared that the party ''must guard against the leg islative misrepresentatiOns of those who would make it an anti-labor party"
 Robert J. Watt, A. F. of L inter national representative, speaking for President William Green on the same program, voiced the hope that the COP, in line with Morse's warning, will mot let Congress be stampeded into enacting anti-1abor legislation"
 ''Otherwise, let me say quite bluntly, the victory in l946 may boomerang in l948,'' he stressed.
 Let me serve notice here and now on the Republican leaders of the next Congress that the surest way to the eventual destruction of the free en- terprise system is to make it one way street for business and chain labor in the doghouse"
 Labor Committee
 As <tf1ese warnings were sounded, considerable discussion arose as to who will head the House and Senate LdDOl COlllllllltCCo, u WlllCH dllll-IdDOl bill will be referred by the new Con- gress.
 At this writing, the outlook is not discouraging. Under the tradi- tional seniority system, Senator George D. Aiken, a sound Vermont Yankee with progressive views, would head the Senate Labor Com mittee.
 On the House side, ''Dick" Welch, veteran Republican Con- gressman from San Francisco, would be in line for the Labor Committee chairmanship. He has been ranking C. O. P. member of the committee for some years and is regarded as fair to all sides.

Musicians Favor
 More Hiring Of Women Members
Symphony Orchestra To Give Women An Equal
 Chance With Men

WASHINGTON (FP) = Union musicians apparently are firmly be- hind Conductor Hans Kinder of the National Symphony Orchestra in his announced policy of giving women musicians equal chance with men to hold down jobs in the symphonic mu- sic field.
 Kinder has announced receipt of a message from the women's committee of Local BOP, American Fed. of Musicians (AFL) in New York offering: s'Cheers and many thanks for your fair and open minded statement on behalf of women musicians. We are proud to have a man of your integrity and vision in America's capital. May all conductors here follow your splendid example,"
 Kinder earlier announced he would retain Is women inStrumentalists in his orchestra of 100 musicians. One of his former trombonists, Dorothy Zeigler, has become the leading tfom- boniSt of the St. Louis symphony this season.
 Pres. Paul Schwarz of ATM Local 161 in Washington said he was heartily in favor of Kindler's nOn- discrimination program. "It is our locals policy to see that the women musicians get as much work as the men dO.' he said.

READY TO FIGHT
 They concede that strenuous ef- forts will be made to shackle work CTS and they're fully prepared to do the necessary amount of fight ing. But they're also counting heav- lily on the good sense of responsible leaders of the C. O. F., as well as on continued support from progress sive Democrats where still in Con- gress.
 One labor leader, appraising the situation, pointed out significantly: If the Republicans go haywire, workers throughout the country will be so aroused that the election of Novem- Der, 1o48, will tell an entirely differ ent story"
 As expected, Senator Little Joe" Ball of Minnesota was the first Republican lawmaker to come forward with demands for strait jacket laws. The ballots had scarce Ny been counted when Ball-who played no part in the election rushed to tell newspapers that the c. O. P. had received mandate" at the polls to enact the kind of anti-labors legislation he's been championing.
 An Old Story
 Ball started his latest crusade back in June, 1945. It was then that a group of industrial relations ex- perts," and lawyers drafted sweep ing '.labor control" bill after persuad- ing an aged Philadelphia millionaire to subsidize them.
 They ''soId'' the idea to three Senators-Burton of Ohio, Hatch of New Mexico and Ball. It became known as s'B-2, H-l'' bill. Since then, Burton has gone on to the Supreme Court, Hatch isn't saying much about the proposition, and Ball alone has been "carrying the ball'' for the oppressive measure.

 Balls mandate" claim drew prompt rebuke from a prominent Sen ator of his own party-Wayne Morse, a liberal Republican from Oregon. Morse did a lot of prediction cam paigning for COP. candidates and

In the International Harvester case the NLRB decided early in October that where only one fourth of the po- tential number of employees have been hired, and where there is a petition for an election, the board will order an election. However, the certifcation which may be won by the union or group of unions involved will be lim- ited in scope. If it is later proved that a comparatively stable employment has been reached, the NLRB will or der new election before the usual one year term is over, but not before six months have passed

ewHousinq Plan Outlined Veterans May
 Adopt Cooperative
 Scheme

Development of housing projects for veterans through cooperative financing will be proposed by John J. Driscoll, Secretary of the State C.I.O. Council, to the Waterbury Housing Authority, the union off, cial disclosed yesterday.
 Pointing out that in other parts of the country veterans have suc- cessfully undertaken the construc- tion of low cost projects through joint planning and financing, Dris coll expressed the belief such &C., ton would be a solution to the housing problems of many veterans here.
 Under the plan, veterans would form corporations for the purchase or construction of homes, and the rents would go toward amortization or construction investments.
 Driscoll pointed out that veterans would have priorities on material and labor in their joint undertaking, and would be insured of speedy con- pletion of their building project.

 Of interest to Waterburians is the appearance of Gene Stettbacher of the Waterbury Civic Theater who plays the role creditably of Mrs. Debenham, one of the party guests,
 Rope takes it's title from the fact that two students of Oxford strangle a fellow student with a piece of rope. The body is placed in trunk in the middle of their living room and friends and rel atives of the dead youth, including his father, are invited to the apart ment and are served a meal from atop the trunk.
 Plenty Of Thrills
 The Strangling of the fellow stu dent was done merely for a thrill, and the inviting of a party to the apartment was for an additional thrill which turned out to be much more than that for the murderers
 Rope provides a good evening $ entertainment, and Waterburians would not be amiss were they to spend an evening in the pleasant surroundings of Litchfield. The opening night performance, how ever, was marred in only one re- spect: the first ten minutes or thereabouts of the first act were performed to no one as no one was able to near or see much of the stage because of a goodly crowd of late arrivals who were allowed by the management to stream all over the place.
