Goelng Takes Blame
For All Anii-Jewish
DEGREES He Signed
Defendant in Frequent
Clashes With Jackson
As Trial Struin Grows
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

NUREMBERG, Mar. 20.-Her-
mann Goering told the Interna-
tional Military Tribunal today
that he had signed numerous
anti-Jewish DEGREES as president
of the Reichstag and "I assume
full responsibility" for them.
In the witness box for the sixth
day in his own defense, the former
reichsmarshal declared that both
Joseph Goebbels and Heinrich
Himmler were more radical than
himself on the Jewish question.
He said Julius Streicher was vio-
lently anti-Jewish, but dismissed
him as mot member of the gov
ernment and, although he was a
gauleiter, he had no influence on the
government"
Both Goering and Justice Robert
H. jackson, chief American prose-
cutor, showed the strain of hours OF
cross examination and there were
frequent clashes between the two.
Jackson Is Overruled.
Lord Justice Geoffrey Lawrence,
presiding member of the tribunal,
overruled Mr.. Jackson's effort to
compel Goering to stop making
what the prosecutor termed "propa-
ganda" remarks from the witness
stand. Mr.. Jackson contended Goer-
ing was being permitted to "take
control of proceedings"
Mr.. Jackson's annoyance ex-
pressed itself again when Goering
testified that he had ordered secur-
ity police to withhold action against
the participants in a pogrom in
November, 1899, because 81 myself
wanted to take the necessary ac-
tion."'
You know that's not the truth"
jackson declared. II put it to you
squarely.'
Goering replied again that he took
his protests against these anti
Jewish excesses directly to Hitler

Johnson-kay Atomic
Bill as Dangerous
Declares Proposal Would
Direct Scientific Work
Exclusively for War
BY the Associated Press

LONDON, Mar. 2O.-The Mos.
cow radio, quoting an article
from the magazine New Times
today attacked the Johnson-May
bill in Congress and declared
this measure for control o.
atomic energy was "fraught with
grave consequences"
The broadcast said the measure
would direct scientific activity ex.
clusively into war channels, restrict
scientific information and treat
with supercilious scorn the scien-
lists who discovered atomic energy
and created the atomic bomb"
Nothing has been said to allay
the just apprehension that the sup
porters OF the japanese system in
the United States are not seeking
the, establishment Of international
collaboration in the sphere of atomic
energy as provided for in the de-
cision Of the Moscow conference OF
the three Foreign Ministers and of
the Assembly OF the United Ma
tions," the broadcast continued.
The Soviet monitor in London said

the broadcast referred state
ment of Harold I. ackes, former
Secretary of the;>ferior, that GER
tain circles in the United States
wanted atomic control "to take US
well along the Tokyo road"
The broadcast said "the reaction

ing the forthcoming tests fatomic

with an inordinate amount OF
trumpet blasting, stresses the neces-
sity of taking advantage of the
present situation to establish a new

ship and so forth"
The Johnson-May bill was intro
duced last fall by Senator Edwin
Johnson, Democrat, of Colorado, and
Representative May, Democrat, Of
Kentucky, and with minor changes
has been approved by the House
Military Committee but awaits for
NAL floor consideration in Congress
It would establish a nine member
commission, appointed by the Pres
ident with the approval Of the SEN
ate, to have broad powers over use
and development of atomic energy.
A minority Of the committee said
the commission would have unprece.
dented peacetime powers and pro-
posed a specific requirement that the
administrator be q civilian. Some
House members have criticized the
bill as containing apparently con.
f1icting provisions.

The Oak Ridge victory came as George L. Googe, director of the Southern Organizing Campaign and chairman of the AFL's South ern Policy Board, reported the AFL in the Southern area is signing up 10 new members to every one enrolling in the CIO.
 One notable reason for this over- whelming difference, MT. Googe said, is the superiority of the AEL's bargaining techniqueS.
 Without strikes or other up- heavals, and within the approvable price regulations, our unions are doing a masterly job of raising wage standards" he said. The prize achievement for a single week goes to the Hod Carriers Building and Common Laborers' International Union.
 "John s. Turner, general south ern representative of this union, reports that he has received Wage Adjustment Board approval of hourly rate increases for Colum- bus, Ga, Jackson, Tenn, and Mo- bile, Ala, laborers' locals.
 The elections in the atom energy rlants saw 3,622 votes cast for the AFL and 3,O81 for the CIO. The run-off is necessitated because many workers voted against affi- liation with any union and will be permitted now to vote yes or no for one of the two.
 A simple majority of all the workers will be required in the next ball oting. In view of the wide margin registered by the AFL over the CIO, AFL organizers ex- pressed confidence of ultimate vic- tory by even a more impressive majority than was scored in the initial vote.
 The re port of MT. Turner on the success of the Hod Carriers and Laborers' drive in the three South ern cities revealed the approved wage increases range from 10 to 30 cents an hour, and that the average raise will be 20 cents.
 Meanwhile, leaders of the Team sters' southern drive reported fur-

ther notable gains fin scattered sec- tions.
 In Chattanooga, Tenn. the Teamsters negotiated an agree ment covering the city's street and sewage workers and providing wage increases ranging from 10 to IS cents an hour, improved work ing conditions and holiday over- time. Approximately 16O work CTS are affected.
 Teamsters in Arkansas reported gains over the entire State, both in signing of new contracts con- taining wage increases and in the winning of NLRB elections.
 In Tampa, Fla, they signed Q new contract with the National Biscuit Co.,, carrying a substantial pay raise, six holidays with pay and paid vacations, and in Padu- cah, Ky, an agreement was signed covering employees of the Fed eral Mineral Co.,, with 1O-cent- an-hour pay boost and other im- provements.

Slaue Labor in Europe

Recent disclosures that millions of workers in Europe are still being condemned to slave labor have shocked the free trade union movement of this country.
 It is estimated that Great Britain is still employing more than million citizens of nations at forced aDOr an even greater number shackd under in France But figures for Soviet Russia far Ousrp all the others combined Forced labor in the Soviet Unon ex- ceeds the entire working population of the States of New York; New Jersey Pennsylvania Connecticut Rhode Vermont Massachusetts and New Hampshire.

He joined the TeamSters August 17th, 1895, was was elected vice president in November 1886, hold ing that position until January 1st, 1887, at which time he became president of his union. In July, 1887, he was appointed secretary treasurer of his local by the h. ternational Organizer in charge of the district. Tim was elected unanimously secretary treasurer and business agent in November of the same year and has held that office without opposition ever since, his present term of office running until December 3t 1947.
 Tim was elected vice president of the Connecticut Federation of La bor in a torrid battle, opposing Perfey Hovey of Greenwich, giv- ing Waterbury it's first representa- tive in some years on the Execu- tive Boar,l of the Connecticut Fed eration of Labor. Tim held that position until he was selected as the logical man to oppose Jim Clerkin of New Britain. Tim was swept into office by a two to one vote over Jim Clerkin in the 1913 elections which were held at the New Haven Convention of that year, and has ably served all Trades and Crafts as their state president since that time.

enough. Our own law is far more sweeping. The Tariff Act of 1880 bars from importation into this country any articles or mer- chandise manufactured wholly or in part by convict labor. forced labor or indentured labor Forced Labor" is defined in the same law as all work or service which is exacted from any per- son under the menace of any pen- atty for it's non-performance and for which the worker does not of- fer himself voluntarily.
 Obviously if slave labor is al- lowed to continue unchecked in Europe and if this law is enforced our foreign trade with the nations of Europe is bound to be crippled. Tn the kind of world foreshad- owed by the Charter of the Unit ed Nations, trade and economic relations between all countries should be free and mutually SUD- plementary. That is the way to mdlnLdlH PAOSPCAOUS NA peaceful world.
 Yet, unless forced labor Is out lawed, competition between free and slave labor might grind down all trade and production to the dangerously low level that might lead to another war.
 Therefore, the American Fed eration of Labor calls upon the United States Government to pro- pose to the United Nations that all member nations renounce the use of forced labor and agree to bar the products of forced labor from world trade.
 We also insist that Congress, before voting increased capital to the Export Import Ba K, write in condition outlawing the repay ment of credits in goods produced wholly or in part by prison, slave or forced labor.

INFLATIONARY PRICE RISES CAN BE
HALTED
By VERDA BARNES. Director. Women's
Division. PAC


Although the Price Control Act was renew
ed on July 26. already consumers see that the
dam against initiation has been broken. Let's
not fool ourselves-we are in for higher and
higher prices.
OPA has announced an increase IN cotton
textiles which will result in your paying 10
per cent more for cotton clothing and II per
cent more for such household linens as sheets.
towels and pillowcases. OPA was compelled
to raise prices on cotton because OF provisions
in the emasculated Price Control Act. Analy-
sis shows that the increase can be expected
not only in %cottons, but straight across the
board.
There will be increases in foods, most man
ufactured items and clothing. These increases
are the result of the powerful pressures which
were exerted BY INSCRIPTIONS lobbyists
whose sole interest was high profits for the
few and the public be damned
Their henchmen in Congress amended the
Price Control Act so that the OPA must raise
prices.
In spite of the dark outlook, there are mea-
sures which consumers can take to prevent
prices from going sky-high. Organized labor
is particularly fitted to spearhead action, be-
strength which comes from efficient organi-
cation.
Recently the Danville, Va. local of the Go
Textile Workers Union decided that action
must be taken in Danville to prevent prices
Montana labor news., 1946-08-22

from getting completely out OF hand.
The local discuSscd the matter with the Dl-
rector of the Southern School of Workers
who contacted a local minister. He took the
lead in organizing a Citizens Committee,
consisting of representatives from civic, Soc
ial. veterans. school,. labor, church and bust
ness organizations.
On July 81 booths were put up in the city
and citizens signed pledges promising not to
buy or sell at runaway prices. Everyone wore
a button saying, 81 will buy wisely!' That
evening a rally was held and, for the first
time in Danville's history, Negroes and whites
sat together in the armory participating in
discussion of a problem of common interest.
All the people were aroused because of the
scandalous price jumps. Fat back had gone
up from l9c to 3Sc, -i2c and l3c in some
stores. Ham had jumped from 6Oc a pound
to S1.25. butter to 81 a pound. and rents had
zoomed as high as 32S per cent
The people demanded action and they got
il. 4 permanent committee was organized to
take complaints by telephone and check with
merchants on overcharges. Illegal over
charges will be brought to the attention Of
the local OPA board.
Threatened To Picket Profiteers
The committee was given orders to ask the
city council to cancel the permits of hucksters
who were buying fruit and vegetables at low
cost from nearby farmers and selling them
at exorbitant prices to the townspeople. Not
content with these measures. the Danville cit
liens have threatened to picket any unscrup-
ulous merchant who profiteers.
Action by the Danville group should serve
rs an example of what YOU can do.
Here are some suggestions:
l. Send letters asking that price controls
be reinstatcd on meat. dairy products, grain
and gasoline. List the high prices YOU are pay
inc for these items. Address letters to Roy l..
Thompson. Chairman of Price Decontrol
Board. Federal Reserve Building. Washing
ton, d.. C..
2. Write President Truman requesting that
subsidies be reinstated on meat and dairy
products to help bring prices down.
3. Bombard President Truman with letters
urging him to call a special session OF con-
gress to strengthen the Price Control bill.
Then OPA can keep prices in line.
4. Organize a buyers strike, taking as your
slogan Buy only what you need!" A buyers
strike means refusing to buy anything except
absolute necessities, but YOU can do without
extras.
S. Practice food conservation. Use left
overs. Buy foods that are in season-stretch-
ing expensive foods with Inexpensive ones.
Hamburger will go twice as far if it is served
as meat sauce with spaghetti.
Intelligent, directed action is your weapon
against unwarranted price rises.
