"Not like you, Luther. I'd prefer
something a little more on the

Georgia Moves To Lift
COlumbians' Charter

Atlanta, Ga. (FP) - Georgia's
Attorney General Eugene Cook
has asked here for revocation OF
the charter of the Columbians
fascist anti-Negro, anti-Jewish or
ganization which allegedly borrow
ed it's insignia from Nazi organi-
zation.
The group, first exposed by Fed
Grated Press shortly after it re-
ceived its charter last August, has
received police attention as a re-
suit of series of outrages includ-
ing attacking and beating of Neg
roes by it's members. Five Column
bians are out on bail pending trial
for such beatings and for leading
a violent demonstration to prevent
a Negro family from moving into
house formerly occupied by
white tenants.
Cook simultaneously urged At
lanta officials to quickly stamp out
the organization through swift
criminal prosecutions. "The i'm
pending evil of this organization
cannot be stopped in due time by a
long drawnout civil suit in the
court where it received its char
ter" he said.

It's Rent Index
Is Woy off.
B. L. S. Admits

Washington (FP)-The bureau
Of labor statistics Nov. 8 in dis
cussinb methods used in compiling
its consumer price index frankly
admitted the inaccuracy Of its rent
index.
The admission added weight to
the claim by spokesmen Of organi-
zed labor throughout the war
years that the steep rise in living
costs has not been accurately re-
flected by the BIS consumer in
dex.
Rents, the report said, are com
pared from month to month for
the same dwellings, and therefore
"do not take into account rentals
for newly constructed dwellings,
nor shifts Of repair costs to ten
ants. The figures do not reflect
changes in sales prices Of homes,
the housing costs Of the workers
who has migrated, nor extras or
premiums charged by some land
lords when they rent to new ten
ants"
Taking these factors into ac-
count would mean that rent, listed
as having risen only 4.3 per cent
in major cities since August, 1899,
really rose much more on a gem
eral average. Housing costs rises
have been steepest for workers
who moved from one area TO an
other for war work and then back
again, and for veterans reestab-
fishing their homes after returning
from service.
Labor criticism of BIS figures
has centere on insufficient
weighing of high priced goods
while low priced ones were off the
market during the war, and on
BIS failure to take into account
the wartime drop in quality for the
same article.
Importance Of an accurate BIS
index is shown by the tremendous
increase in recent months Of union
contract wage reopening clauses,
based on BLS-recorded rises in
consumer costs. An index not
truly in line with price climbs in
effect robs the workers of money
to which they are entitled.

Tax Profits More,
|LowIncomesLeSs,
Lawyers Urge

Washington (FP)-Reenactment
of the excess profits tax for 1916
and 1947 and return to the pre-
war personal income tax exem-
tions were the main points of a
program to halt the drift toward a
disastrous depression urged upon
President Truman in a letter from
President Robert w. Kenney of the
National Lawyers Guild.
Kenney, who is attorney general
of California, told Truman: "the
major problem which our country
faces is the spiraling initiation of
prices. The emasculation of price
control legislation by Congress and
the subsequent elimination of price
control by administrative action
have brought in their wake sky
rocketing rises in the cost Of liv-
ing.
"The nation faces the calamity
of boom and bust, through the dan
ger that prices will outrun the
ability Of our people to buy back
the goods produced by our econom-
ic machine"
Kenney urged Truman to call
special session of Congress for:
1.-"Reenactment of the federal
excess profits tax effective for the
calendar years 1916 and 1947,
without carryovers or carrybacks.
2.-"Restoration of the prewar
personal income tax exemptions of
$1,000 for a single person and
$4,000 for married couple, re-
tanning $500 credit for each de-
pendent"
Cutting the income tax of low
income groups, Kenney said,
"would bolster up the fast dwind-
ling purchasing power of the
American people, upon which our
prosperity depends. 1t would act
as an offset to price increases and
to shrinking real wages. 1t would
help to prevent the threatened
breakdown of the American stand
ard Of living"

Survey Reveals
Urgent Demand
For Wage Raise

New York (FP)-A survey OF
500 average workers showed their
present earnings are "below what
is needed to provide even the bare
necessities Of life," the United
Electrical Radio & Machine Work
ers announced here.
The study, conducted among UE
members in eight communities,
revealed that because of the high
er cost of necessities, workers have
substantially reduced their pur-
chases of milk, butter, eggs and
clothes for their families" and
have been compelled to "use their
meager savings to get along"
"Workers reduced their purchas-
es of milk by three quarts a week
on the average" the union report
ed. They also reduced their pur-
chases of butter by ~ pounds a
week and bought one dozen eggs
less a week. Of the SOB surveyed,
90 per cent had cut down on cloth
ing costs and almost one-half were
forced to dig into their savings.
"In many cases workers reduced
their purchases of food and still
had to use their savings to get
along" the report showed. "Nor
could savings be expected to fl
nance the living expenses of these
workers except for the shortest
period of time. Even with the peak
of wartime earnings behind them,
only 1876 workers reported savings
of more than $500.
Results of the survey were re-
leased as the union prepared for
wage conference here to formu-
late new wage demands for 25O,0O0
employees of the six largest cleo
trical manufacturing companies in
the nation. Delegates from plants
of General Electric, Westinghouse,
General Motors electrical division,
RCA, Sylvania Electric Corp. and
General Cable Co. will attend. The
UE has contracts with the COM
panies on nationwide scale cover
ing 139 plants in % states.

Nationwide J. e..
Penney Tieup
Is Threatened

New York (FP)-Plans for a
nationwide tieup of the j. c..
Penny Co. stores, offices and ware
houses throughout the u. S. are
being laid here by Local 65,
Wholesale & Warehouse Workers
Union.
The tieup was decided upon
after 700 New York warehousemen
of the Penny chain voted over
whelmingly to strike when the
company refused to recognize
Local 65 as their bargaining agent.
Calling Of the strike hinged on the
outcome Of a meeting between
company and union representatives
at NLRB offices here to discuss
the locals petition for certifica-
tion as collective bargaining rep
resentative.
If a strike takes place, Local 65
plans to picket the New York
home office Of the company in adj.
dition to scores of retail stores
throughout the country. Picket
squads will be dispatched to the
biggest stores while locals in other
cities are planning in response to
a Local 65 request to establish
picketlines at stores in their locali-
ties.

farm implements effective immedi-
ately.
Vice President Walter Mckee of
Lever Bros. announced so per
cent increase in wholesale prices
for his firms products, including
Lifebuoy soap.
At Cincinnati, officials of Proct-
or & Gamble Qvory, etc. said
the increases would run between
so and 70 per cent wholesale, and a
small bar of Ivory, formerly sell
ing at Z cents, would retail now for
10 cents. Packaged soap powders
for laundry use, formerly selling
around % cents retail, are expect
ed to be tagged at 35 cents.
In New York city, carpet manu-
facturers studied raising their
price levels between and 10 per
cent. The doubt here centered on
whether the public would go along,
since carpet prices are consider
ably above pre-war levels now.
Copper, lead and zinc prices
joined the move to higher levels,
with cooper jumping from 1875 to
171h cents pound as the Civilian
Production Administration warned
that the boosts would be taken
from the federal subsidy given
producers.
Steel scrap. an important indus
trial item, rose $3.50 per ton across
the board at Chicago, and the Gen
eva Steel Co., U. S. Steel subsid-
iary at Geneva, Utah, announced
structural steel prices in all shapes
had advanced slightly over $2.52
per 100 pounds in carload lots.
Bethlehem Steel, however, express
sed hope it could avoid increases.
The OPA, which still controls
rice, rents and sugar showed signs
of letting the bars down on all but
sugar.
In addition to General Motors,
Crosley Motors, Inc. at Cincinnati,
announced 500 increase in it's
midget models, while Westing-
house Electric contended itself
with a prediction of Every modest
increases" in retail costs Of ap-
pliances.
Ford, while realizing ''that many
serious inequalities existed in for
mer OPA prices on repair parts"
and that there is plenty of justifi-
cation for our raising prices at this
time," sand 1--WE feel that it is vir-
ally necessary, during this period
of adjustment, that all industry
cooperate to avoid precipitious or
unjustified increases in prices"

COOPERATIVES SEEN
HELPING PROMOTE
WORLD STABILITY

New York City (ILNS)-Melvin
]. Fox, director of research, The
World Trade Foundation of Amer
ice, Inc, has returned from 25,-
600 mile globe encircling trip to
Hong Kong, where he attended the
Conference of the international
Committee of the Chinese Indus
trial Cooperatives.
Fox said, "The Chinese indus
trial cooperatives provide real
istic method for developing small
industrial units in villages and
backward regions Of China. They
provide bridge from agricultural
feudalism, in which many parts of
China have been living, to indus
trialization, which is necessary if
China is to develop modern dem
ocratic economy.
"The cooperatives can play a
very real part in developing a
market for United States goods by
creating demand for American
tools and equipment which Ameri-
can soldiers have made familiar
in many parts of China.
"If stability is to be restored
throughout the world, if the
United Nations are to be proper
ously united in the development of
high level of world trade, efforts
such as those of the cooperatives
in China, will play a very impor-
tant part"

Report Reveals
Unfuir Practice
By Utah Bosses

Salt Lake City (FP)-Between
one-half and one-third Of Utah's
employers and a roughly equival-
ent proportion of it's workers are
directly affected by discriminatory
racial practices, according to vol
untary replies to a QUESTIONABLE
sent out by the state senate COM
mittee to investigate discrimina-
tion against minorities.
In view of the fact that replies
were voluntary, the rate of dis
elimination is probably actually
but most answers were surprising
ly frank. Sixty-nine of 169 en-
ployers who replied admitted they
discriminate against Negroes,
Mexicans, japanese or other min
critics in employment and advan-
cement.
Furthermore, Al of 1862 employ
ers said they were unwilling to
grant colored citizens the same
seniority rights as white citizens
and 27 of 178 said they were un-
willing to pay the same wages to
colored citizens even though they
possessed equal skills as white
citizens. However, 90 of 160 said
they would eliminate this discrimi-
nation voluntarily if their COM
petitors did SO.
Public places like hotels, res
taurants and dance halls also ad-
mitted discrimination and 81 Of SO
said they would stop if their COM
petitors did.
rs The committee report thereupon
recommended immediate enact
ment of state fair labor practices
law.

Officials Jailed
In Peonage Case

Dallas, Tex. (FP)-Forcer peon-
age of a Negro worker here cost
Rockwall county Sheriff w. j.
Price and ex-Sheriff Jack Pullen
a year in prison and $1,000 fine
each. The sentence, maximum
penalty for violating the civil
rights of a Negro, was imposed
by Federal Judge T. Whitfield
Davidson.
Luther Hunter, county jailer,
was given six months in prison and
fined $500 and William Frazier, a
constable, was given his choice of
a $3.50 fine or six months in Jail.
The Negro, r. d. Andrews, was
arrested on a swindling complaint
of having mailed to repay loan
of SIS from Pullen. No indictment
was returned against him, nor was
he tried for the offense. Instead he
was released on a $500 bond sign
ed by Pullen and forced to work
on the ex-sheriff's farm.
Pullen admitted to beating An
drews in Jail and also admitted
that he had Andrews wife and
mother-in-law jailed while they
were trying to find the missing
Negro. Andrews mother-in-law
had agreed to repay Pullen the SIS
at the time of Andrews arrest but
Pullen refused to accept the
money.
The jury acquitted the defend
ants on three counts alleging peon-
age, which would have carried
more severe penalties than the
civil rights count.

San Francisco Vets Squat

San Francisco (FP)-In fore
cast of possible things to come,
two homeless war veterans moved
into a vacant apartment here with

sent to become California's first
squatters.
The vets, Lester Long and a
buddy, cleaned up the vacant
apartment, painted it and sent the
landlord check for the rent. They
received an immediate indignant
reply demanding that they vacate.
Their refusal has won the sup
port Of Local 6, International
Longshoremen's g. Warehouse
mems Union, which recently de-
clared it would back a veterans
squatter move in opposition to a
reported landlord strike. San Fran
cisco landlords are said to have
refused to rent 1000 vacant apart
ments under existing OPA con-
trolls.

WHAT'S COOKIN'!

This is the month for baked
apples, and the perfect baked
apple holds it's shape color and has
smooth unbroken skin, is tender,
juicy, but not mushy, and is deli
cately sweet. The best varities. for
baking are Rome Beauty, Stay
m an, Winesap, Rhode Island
Greening and Turley.
To bake, wash and core without
cutting through blossom end. Place
blossom end down, in a baking
dish. Fill holes with mixture of
brown sugar, or honey, raisins
softened by soaking or chopped
soaked prunes, a bit of butter and
chopped nuts, if desired. Add just
enough water to the pan to keep
apples from sticking. Then cover
the dish. The steam held in by the
cover makes apples cook faster
and more evenly. Bake at $50 or
400 degrees for half an hour, de-
pending on size and variety.
