MarcantOniO Defines
Case Bill For House

Washington--FP). The House
heard a vivid description of the Case
anti-labor bill from the floor Jan. 30
from the lips of Rep. Vito Marcantonio
(ALP, N. W.
Cases bill (HR 5262) was forced to
the floor by the rules committee. 1t
calls for the use of injunctions against
labor, permits court action against
unions and bans the boycott against
employers fighting the labor move
ment.
Marcantonio told the house that de-
spite the bill's "sanctmonious declara-
tion of policy" being named bill to
provide for the mediation of labor
disputes "it was baked in the oven of
the Republican Natl. Committe with
ingredients furnished by the Natl.
Assn. Of Manufacturers and salt and
peppered by some members of the
rules committee. 1t is bill for the
protection of scabs."

A federal conciliator, who had fail
ed to avert the walkout, said he would
continue conferences with the company
and union until settlement was
reached.

Wage Dispute Deadlock

New York--(FP).-While the city's
supply of coffins began to give out,
hope for settling a dispute between
casket manufacturers and workers
hinged on a meeting with representa-

of Local 1928, United Bro. of Carpen-

holding out for a price increase.
Possibility of shortage of coffins
loomed as the health commissioner
warned that the reserve supply was
down to 1900. About 2,700 persons
died in this area in the last week.

Comment On World Events

Mass deportation OF Sudeten Czechs
in the best Hitler style have received
too little attention in the L. S. press
The facts are known, in part at least
but they are not being told This is
the story, according to the Interna-
tional Rescue and Relief Committee
which is devoted to aiding the anti
Fascists in Europe:
Last summer the Czech government
initiated program of indiscriminate
deportation of it's Sudeten nationals
of German origin into Thuringia, the
Russian zone Of Germany. The pro-
cess is still going. No distinction is
being made between those who fought
on Hitler's side and those who opposed
him every inch of the way.
In the heydey of the Hitler regime
some 10000 Sudeten Social-Democrats
and leftists were imprisoned by the
Nazis; 1900 died in the Mathausen
camp alone. But thousands managed
to survive. Then came liberation"
The Czech military police gave these
Czech citizens, whose sole crime was
German ancestry, 3 hours notice to
leave their homes. They were permit
ted to take with them only sc pounds
of baggage, so Reichmarks and food
enough to last them to the frontier.
Last Oct. 2l letter was transmitted
to the International Rescue and Re-
lief Committee by an intermediary
from a leader of the Social-Democrat
Defense Against Fascism organization
in Czechoslovakia whose name is with
held because its publication might ser
iously endanger him. 1t was a facts
and figures letter that told the story
of what was happening to anti-Fas
cists of German origin in liberated
Czechoslovakia. incidentally, it might
be mentioned here that the present
Czechoslavakia government does not
appear to bear much resemblance to-

Sfors g Stripes
Fights Exile
Of Two Editors

Tokyo-(FP).- Staff members ot
the Pacific edition of Stars & Stripes
appealed to Gen. Douglas Macarthur
Feb. 10 to prevent reassignment OF
the papers managing editor and col
umnist to Okinawa, charging that il
was an attempt by the "army hier-
archy" to "muzzle' the paper.
The two men removed from the
paper were Sgt. Kenneth j. Pettus
and Cpl. Barnard Rubin, both form
serly connected with the labor move
ment. Pettus formerly edited the west
coast Timber Worker, one time Off
cial organ of the Init. Woodworkers
and Rubin handled publicity for a
local of the Init. Union Of Mine Mill
&, Smelter Workers.
Both men said their "exile" to
Okinawa was "direct retaliation" for
protests which 26 members of the ed
itorial staff had made on Jan. 9, when
they charged that pressure had been
put on the paper to delete, distort and
play down news to serve the personal
and professional interests of the army
hierarchy"
Col. John F. Davis, chief informa-
ton and education officer in MacAr-
thurs command, told the Stars &
Stripes staff that the two men were
being transferred because of a mega
tive loyalty check" Pettus and Rubin
said they would fight the charge of
disloyalty. Removal of the two men
is the most recent example Of War
Dept. persecution Of former labor
editors and publicists on vague and
often unspecified charges of failure
to pass socalled loyalty checks.

that p~oliomyelitis, which has strick-
en- more than 5000 persons this
year, has as its ~favorite victims
small children who have become
tired or chilled.
"Infantile paralysis is spread in
most cases from someone who has
the virus in the nose, throat or bow
els to someone who has not been
infected" Fishbein said. eve know
that children who are tired and
chilled are likely to succumb to
the infection more easily than 9TH
erS.
"We are now convinced that cpl
denies are caused in most cases
by either flies or other insects.
"There does not seem to be any
really good reason for spraying
large areas with insecticides except
that it is good to clean up gar
bage and get rid of insects of any
type.
"People should not be alarmed,
since the total incidence of infantile
paralysis is not altogether much
greater than it has been in other
years."
