Site Terms
 Agreed Upon ByU. SUN

Lake Success, N. Y, Sept. G. (UP) - The United States and the United Nations reached tentative agreement today on the terms under which the LIN will obtain the site of its permanent home.
 Under the terms of the agree ment, subject to approval by Con- gress and the LIN Assembly, the U. s. would acquire all land for the permanent home, through con- demnation if necessary, and resell it to the world organization.
 At the present time the LIN has under consideration five sites for it's permanent home. All are in nearby Westchester County.
 The treaty calls for two areas for the LIN site, one headquarters area which will be semi-sovereign state, and the other buffer zone around the headquarters district the LIN would make its own rules. Federal, state or local officers or officials of the U. s. could enter the headquarters district only with the consent and under conditions agreed to by the secretary general.
 Local governments could be re- quired to furnish paved roads to the headquarters district.

Harwich, Mass, Sept. 6-(UP)- An area of 65 square miles in Barn. stable County on Cape Cod was sug- gested today as an ideal site for the permanent home of the United Na- tions by the New England LIN. Committee.
 Chairman Charles Henry Davis said the proposed site would include sections in the towns of Barnstable, Yarmouth, Dennis, Brewster and Harwich. He added that residents of this area already had expressed willingness to make way for the United Nations.
 Davis described the proposed site as largely uninhabited and said it could be made available to the LIN. assembly almost immediately.
 In a speech prepared for a lunch con meeting of the committee at his Bass River Estate, Davis charged that the LIN. will be subjected to too much pressure by Communists and other groups as long as it stays in New York.
 He cited airport, rail facilities, highways and harbors as advantages for the LIN. in the Cape Cod area and said the climate would be ideal both in Winter and Summer The proposed site was used during the past war as maneuvers area fol troops stationed at Camp Edwards.

PrintingAt Reformotory Protested
 L0bor Delegates
 Adopt Resolution
 At Hartford

Protesting against competition by the State of Connecticut with private employers in the printing industry, delegates at the Connec- ticut Federation of Labor conven- ton in Hartford today adopted a resolution calling upon the State to withdraw such competition.
 The resolution was the first re- ported out by the Federation'S com mittee on new legislation at the 61St convention, hel dat the Hotel Bond, and it was adopted unani- mously.
 The resolution, which was Suppor- ted by AFL. locals in Waterbury, was directed specifically against the State Reformatory at Cheshire, which maintains printing estab- lishment.
 Claiming that the State was un- fair to employers and workers in the printing trades in maintaining the printing shop at Cheshire, the res olItion demands that the State hereafter use only stationery which bears the label of the Allied Print ing Trades.
 George Thorpe of Hartford, chairman of the committee on new negislation, recommended passage of the resolution and 1t was adopted without dissent. It was proposed before the convention by Local 252, Bridgeport Typographical Union.
 As a result of today's vote, the Connecticut Federation of Labor will ask the General Assembly next year to adopt legislation to carry out the provisions of the resolution.

Legion Demands
Super-Seniorify

(FP).-The American
Legion, whose top officials have fire.
quently been in the forefront of labor
busting proposals, came out Mar. z
for new tangled super-seniority plan
for war veterans that would tear
unions apart and leave all workers,
including the veterans, at the mercy
of employers.
Legion Legislative Rep. Harry B.
Hayden, Jr., appearing before the
House naval affairs subcommittee
said his organization wanted to see
legislation giving every veteran full
seniority credit for each year Of war
service, plus five year seniority
bonus" On top of this, Hayden said,
the Legion wanted the seniority bon
US" stretched to 10 years, plus war
service, for all veterans with a dis
ability of 1919 or more.
Hayden testified against HR 1920
which establishes seniority in navy
yards, arsenals and government in
dustrial establishments covering some
100000 workers in trades and occupa-
tions outside the white collar field.
AS written and approved by the con-
ference of Legion Labor posts, the
American Veterans Committee and the
Init. Assn. of Machinists (AFL), the
bill gives veterans full seniority credit
for all time spent in the armed forces
and also grants it to men in the u. S.
Merchant Marine. 1t gives the disabled
veteran an additional two years OF
seniority.
Hayden said "this bill would pat
the veteran and the war worker on the
same identical footing" AS to seamen,
he said, "we are absolutely opposed
to anything that gives veterans bene-
fits to the merchant seamen."
Rep. Hugh DeLacy Cd, Wash.), one
of the authors of the bill, asked Hay
den if he wanted his "five and ten year
super-seniority" plan in private indus
try. The Legion representative re-
piled, at is our opinion they are en-
titled to it anywhere"

N. US State Government
FayOrs Paving Idle If iii

Albany, N. Y. - (lLNS). - Gov.
Dewey's administration favors the
proposal of the State Federation of
Labor that unemployed workers, who
are unavailable for unemployment be-
cause Of illness, shall no longer be
deprived Of unemployment insurance
benefits.
This was learned following confer
ences between American Federation
of Labor executives, Gov. Dewey and
legislative leaders.
The state federation has urged a
system of straight sickness insurance,
payable on the same basis as unem-
ployment insurance.
Under present laws, unemployment
benefits at the same rate of S21 a
week is paid for 26 weeks after
one-week waiting period, providing the
worker is available for and cannot OBJ
tain other employment. Thus sickness,
during a period Of unemployment, has
disqualified many workers for bene-
fits.
Similar provisions are in force in
other states and if New York leads
the way in. changing its law, other
states may be expected to follow.

STANDARDS OF
VALUE
BY RUTH TAYLOR

A great man Of letters once defined
cynic as someone who knew the
price Of everything and the value Of
nothing.
There comes time when each Of
US must pause and consider just what
our standards of value are, just what
we, as individuals and as an integral
part Of great nation. hold most dear.
If we were asked what is the mot
TO Of the United States, we would
surely answer, "In God we trust"
America gives to its citizens freedom
of conscience, not license for uncon-
science; freedom of belief, not the
destroyal Of all belief.
For our standard Of values, we
have a yardstick of common belief in
the omnipotence, the omniscence and
the omnipresence of God, no matter
whether we learned our faith in ca
thedral, church or synagogue. 1t is our
common denominator. The Ten Com
mandments belong to all alike.
We are God-fearing people. We
know what our standards of value
must be. They were laid down by the
Prophet Micah centuries ago when he
said, "What doth the Lord require of
thee but to do justly, love mercy, and
walk humbly with thy God" All three
great faiths subscribe to that yard
stick.
Inasmuch as all religions are based
upon the same fundamental principles
and concepts, religion should be the
means of bringing about a better un-
derstanding. If, however, people will
persist in regarding religion as a
source of separatism and divisive
thing, their religion may do harm
rather than good. If it does, it is the
fault of the followers rather than of
the creeds themselves. They are not
following their own faith.
DR.. Bennett in, christianity and
Our World" went still further when
he said: "Unethical religion is a far
greater danger to true religion than
secularism. 1t is possible to be closer
to God in seeking what God wills while
denying his existence, than in defend
ing an unjust order of things while

Workers Unite In
Jamestown Rully

jamestown, N. Y.-FP).-The en-
tire organized labor movement here
AFL, CIO and unaffiliated unions
marched in parade through the streets
of jamestown in an impressive dem
onstration for better standard of liv-
ing and an end to the big business
congressional conspiracy against the
people.
Although a 72-mile gale had sent
the temperature down 40 degrees,
about 5000 people came out to parade
and line the sidewalks. Marching four
abreast under the banners of the city's
biggest unions, about 5000 workers
paraded to the cheers of some 5000
sympatetic townspeople lining the
streets. The parade was led by John
G. Jackson, president of Labor's Leg
islative Conference and an officer Of
Lodge 1851, Init. Assn. of Machinists,
and color guard of soldiers, sailors
and marines in uniform.
Ranging from support of local and
nationwide strikes, continued price
control, permanent FEPC and legis-
latiOn favoring workers, farmers and
the people as a whole, the banners and
slogans voiced over the soundtrucks
opposed the Case anti-labor bill, anti
labor newspaper columnists, big busi-
ness conspiracy against the people,
and the Rankin unAmerican commit
tee. Unions participating included the
AFL iron workers, metal polishers,
painters and musicians, the CIO auto,
electrical, radio and machine, steel,
textile and furniture workers, and
the unaffiliated machinists. The pa
rade ended in mass meeting at which
funds were raised for support of the
local iron strike.
