Or take public housing. A few
years ago. at Senate committee
hearing, it was asked whether any
one actually knew the number of
agencies dealing in public housing!
Since then, to be sure, the National
Housing Agency has been formed,
to try to pull things together. But
the administrator has said that
housing projects financed in

You would think that the Bureau
of Customs would be one agency

CM Again Uses Tax Carryover To Show Profit
But Employees, Whose Pay Is Down, Get No
 Refund

DETROIT - CPD - General Motors Corp. again converted an operating loss for April, May and June into a net profit by the kind ness of Congress in enacting tax laws to favor the big concerns, it is revealed in the report to stock holders signed by Chairman Alfred P. Sloan and President C. E. Will son.
 GM employees, who also sustained substantial loss in earnings in that quarter as against a year earlier, got no tax refunds from the government.
 LOSS-BUT NO LOSS
 Operations for the second quarter, Sloan and Wilson explain, resulted in loss of SIP, 145,4H before adjust ment of $28, 8,466,OO0 for U. S. income and excess profit taxes. After giving effect to this estimated reduction in taxes, as described above Gin their re- port to stockholders), net income for the second quarter was $l6,32O,573."
 Those CM workers fortunate enough to be employed cOnsti- tuted 8l % of those employed in the second quarter in l945 but they got only 77% of the l945 second quarter payroll. That is to say, not only were tf1ere fewer em- ployes but these fewer averaged lower pay. And instead of federal tax refunds they had to pay higher prices for food and clothing.

z. The delegates adopted the recommendation that all eligible locals affiliate with the Connecticut State Building and Construction Trades Council.
 8. They also voted: 'sIn the in. terest of industrial peace, the State Board of Mediation and Arbitration should adopt a firmer policy and use its powers of subpoena when. ever any parties to a dispute ignore its invitation to attend a hearing.'
 STATE INCOME TAX?
 9. The executive board was given the power to decide whether or moi to include in the Federation's legisla- tive program proposed law for a state income tax, the funds raised to be used to pay decent wages to pub lie employees, and to finance much needed improvements in the health and welfare programs of the state.
 BUILDING FADES
 10. Acting on a resolution by James O'Kane, Iron Workers No. 424, and secretary-treasurer of the State Building Trades Council, and unanimously passed, a committee will be set up to make a thorough study of Connecticut's workmen's $ compensation laws. O'Kane's reso. lution pointed out that this states compensation law ranks 10th in the country, and said that we should be a leader in this type of legislation.
 II. Also unanimously adopted was a resolution presented by O'Kane, calling for the elimination of the Wage Adjustment Board, be- cause its continued existence un- justly discriminates against the building trades unions. The GEL. delegate to the A.F.L. convention and the National Building Trades Department convention, was in- structed to present the resolution adopted by the state convention.
 A host of resolutions was passed, and a number of speakers were heard. Outstanding were Rep. Herman P Kopplemann and Gov. Raymond E. Baldwin. John J. Egan was given a great ovation.

IN. H. Conservatory Of Music

The New Haven Conservatory oi Music, the newest and most complete in New Haven, is the solution of a long standing problem. The musical talents of New Haven have long sought for wider and broader scope of musical knowledge within their own confines. Not being able to find such sources, an exodus of some oi the finest musical talents has occur red from New Haven.
 To cope with this situation, the founding of a Conservatory was in- evitable. Under the dictatorship of Harold Abrams, an unsurpassed fac u1ty of some of the finest young art ists in the country has been fused into an organization that is now offering courses in all musical instruments as well as correlated musical subjects.

that there would be no meeting of

could not repeal laws relating to

lish. Although House Speaker Roy

that there should be an early call
for a special session of the legisla-
ture, there seemed little likelihood

that such a call would be made by
Gov. Ellis Arnall, who was in
Washington for the week. District
of Columbia press sources quoted
the governor as having no comment
on the supreme courts inaction.
Negro leaders generally hailed
the courts refusal to handle the
Georgia primary case.

gia Association of Citizens Demo
cratic clubs, said: 81 am not sur
prised that the supreme court re-
fused to review the Primus King
case. It's action is perfectly con-
sistent with the broad principles
enunciated in the Texas primary
case. Georgia has absolutely moth

state to qualify and vote. They are
Just as solicitous for the welfare
of Georgia as are other citizens
and they only desire the opportun-
ity to make their contribution to-
ward good government"
C. A. Scott, president of the
Citizens Democratic club of Full
ton county, commented: "The SUI
preme courts refusal to review
the King primary case is an af-
firmation of the two previous de-
cisions and should mean an end
to arguments about the Negroes
right to vote. | believe the Negro
will ally himself politically with
the liberal forces of the state. No
doubt the action of the court will
cause the reactionary forces to re-
new their cries for a special ses-
sion of the legislature but now that
the highest court has spoken, |
feel attempts to circumvent the
decision by the legislature would
be a serious mistake. | consider

right to vote solely on the grounds
of race"

court was most pleasing and one
