Labor Asks
Hobbs Veto

WASHINGTON, July (LPA)
President Truman, caught in
heavy crossfire from the Natl.
Association of Manufacturers on
the one side and organized labor
on the other, could not make up
his mind last week whether or
not to veto the Hobbs ("anti-
racketeering') Bill.
Both CIO President Philip
Murray and AFL President
William Green asked Truman
for veto, but the President, un-
decided, called in members of his
cabinet to get their opinions
first.
Murray told Truman that the
Hobbs bill, formerly a part of
the vetoed Case Bill, twas pass
ed in order to project the exist
ing anti-racketeering Act against
a deliberately ambiguous back
ground in the hope that anti
labor judges might apply its en-
tremely severe penalties to the
legitimate activities of labor or
ganizations."
Appeals For Veto
Green, in his appeal for q
veto, declared that by implica-
ton at least the act makes 1t a
felony to strike and to picket
peacefully and to take other legi-
innate and peaceful concerted
action when strikes are resorted
to by those employed In the
transportation industry The
bill Is susceptible of broad dan
gerous interpretations by the
courts"
Labor was not alone In con-
demning the bill. The Chicago
Sun, edttorially, called 1t "An-
other Monstrosity" and asserted:
"The Hobbs measure would
make it robbery and 'extortion'
to 'obstruct or delay interstate
commerce in any way or de-
gree Let a mass picket line
form for 20 minutes which could
easily be handled by local police,
and union members would be
liable to 20 years in federal pris-
on as 'racketeers.' Even peace
full picketing, if any incident oe-
CURED which someone could
claim caused fear of injury
would expose union members to
'anti-racketeer' prosecution"

ment that the so-called Adde'S
Thomas-Leonard group must
provide the leadership of the
vast majority of our members
who are non-political and who

Many Local union people con-
fess themselves confused with
the Adde's statement in view of
the strong Communist support
given the UAW secretary Trea-
surer in the 1943 UAW-CIO
Buffalo convention and again
in 1914 and recently at the

port of the Communist group

Draft


WASHINGTON, July l -
GPA) - The wartime draft
act, with many notifications,
was extended by vote of
Congress last week. Almost
at the same time, Congress voted
pay boosts to members of the
armed forces which range from
20 per cent for privates to 10
per cent for higher officers.
After weeks of maneuvers,
Congress finally produced Sc
lective Service Act, which will
extend to March 81, 1947 and
cover men from 19 to As. Draft
ing of 18-year-olds was elini-
mated after an acrimonious de-
bate In the House-Senate con-
ference committee. Fathers are
exempted from the draft, and
fathers now in the service are
to be released after Aug. ! this
year.
A limit of 18 months Is
placed on service of draftees,
and men now in the Army are
eligible for discharge If they
have served for 18 months.
Labor Protests
An immdiate protest over the
45-year top age limit was made
to Congressman by eight labor
leaders, who charged that the
45-year provision "is aimed at
drafting strikers as provided in
President Truman's bill"
Signers of the labor charge,
which was made public by the
Workers Defense League, are: A.
Philip Randolph, president of
the Brotherhood of Sleeping
Car Porters; A. F. Whitney,
president of the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen; Willard S.
Townsend, president of the
United Transport Service EN-
ployees; Victor G.. Reuther, edu-
cational director of the United

Jersey regional director of the
Textile Workers Union; Harold
j. Gibbons, st. Louis director of
the United Retail, Wholesale and
Department Store Employees;
Martin Gerber, New York re-
gional director of the United
Auto Workers, and Michael Har-
ris, Pennsylvania regional di-
rector of the United Steel
workers.
The American Legion-spon-
sored permanent military con-
bill which was
pushed unsuccess fully before
the temporary extension was fl
nally voted - has been rein
troduced by Rep. Andrew j. May

Consumer Council said, I'VE
urge consumers not to purchase
ANY clothing, refrigeratorS, ra-
dios, furniture, household wares
and to buy only as much of the
necessities of life as they need to
feed their families"
Despite statements Of business
that prices would be held, live
stock, rents, retail prices and
commodities increased through
out the entire country.
Meanwhile, OPA Administra-
tor Paul Porter in a statement
here last night stated that rising
prices are an indication that
spectators are betting on infla-
tion and warned, II think that
they will. find they have put
their money on the wrong
horse"
Labor Is watching
Labor leaders let it be known
that they are watching Congress
and have taken all available
means to reach congressman in
an effort to have a price control
bill passed that will really con-
troll prices. Thousands of men,
bers of labor unions, consumers
groups and other organizations
have wired their representatives
urging them to enact legislation
to protect the people of the ma
ton from uncontrolled initiation.
Several states, notably Massa-
chusetts, have acted to place
ceilings on rents to protect the
public from increases expected
as a result of the folding of con-
trolls.
In Ohio, Governor Frank J.
Lausche indicated that he would
call a special session of the state
legislature to control rents.
In Washington, matters are
confused with the administration
insisting on a real control bill
and Senator Taft repeating his
words that there will be no con-
troll bill now that the President
saw fit to kill the only one that
Congress would give him to sign

tablespoons of margarine Il have
even used shortening and mix well
into crust. Then pat it into tin
and place in ice box at least 30

From Mrs. J. d. W., Alexandria,

1t is very easy to bake a good pie
if you have good recipe and the

paste is not extra flour, it comes
from the flour already measured

add any more water under any

Measure your shortening by filling
a measuring cup half full of water
and adding shortening to fill the

analysis should be the very last
phase taught.
! We should take the teaching of
foreign languages seriously. We are
going to be in close communication
with the peoples of the earth before
this school generation passes. In
order to understand, to cooperate,
to trade and exchange goods and
ideas, the citizens of the United
States will need to talk more Ian
guages than their own English And
they need to perfect themselves in
| that.
We are all descendants of for
eigners. Many of our fathers spoke
another tongue. 1t is easy for their
children. and their children's chill
dren, to master that tongue. If
every school child in the country
were taught the language of their
ancestors, other than the English
group, a great number of our school
children soon would have a fluent
flow of foreign tongue Always
they should be taught to take pride
in their command of English and
then of their second tongue. The
English group will not have so easy
a task in mastering the second
tongue, but they do it.
The fathers and mothers of school
children everywhere now should
take thought about their children S
languages and make certain that
they master two, English and the
language of their choice. And start
in the primary grades with plenty

Recipe Roundup
By The Chef

Want something new for dinner?
Try Don Carlos onions" Why the
name We don't know, except you
use Spanish onions
Peel eight medium sized onions
cut a slice off the top and parboil
for 10 minutes in salted water. Then
plunge them into cold water for a
minute. Scoop out the insides
leaving fairly thick shell Save
the pulp you've removed.
Now bake the shells in the oven
with cup of soup stock or broth
for an hour basting them often
Boil and mash six medium potatoes
and season them with salt, pepper,
butter and one-half cup of milk
Whip them to f1uffiness.
Stuff the onion shells with the
potatoes and top with the chopped
onions from the tops and inside of
the shells, after they have been
fried in butter. Reheat the stuffed
onions and serve.
Years ago when I was visiting in
Bucharest We were served at lunch
con one day most unusual salad.
The Romanians, like so many of
their nelghborS, appreciate the eg-
plant far more than we do here at
home and prepare it in many ways.
This salad was one of the best.
Wash small eggplant and boil it
whole and unpeeled in salted water
until the skin is tender. Drain it
and peel off the black skin. Mash
the pulp in bowl in which little
garlic has been crushed until the
eggplant is practically puree. Now
add Oil to make a smooth consist
ency and beat in salt, pepper, pap
rika and lemon juice to taste.
Arrange in neat mound and set
on ice to become very cold. Serve
gsrnished with chicory or escarole.
Old-fashioned Sally Lunn is al
ways a favorite for tea or even for
a lelsurely Sunday breakfast.
Beat the yolks and the white of
three eggs separately. Then beat
a tablespoon of butter and a table
spoon of brown sugar with the
yolks. Add slowly three cups of
sifted flour and cup of rich milk.
Toss in pinch of salt.
After all is mixed add a spoonful
OF flour which has been reserved
from the three cups and to which
one tablespoon of baking powder
has been added Last, fold in the
stift1y beaten egg whites and bake
to golden color.
Split and eat with butter, lam
jelly or whatever you fancy. They're
all good!
Tuna fish salad is all too often
Just way out for the unimagina-
tive or too-busy cook. There's no
reason that the chicken of the sea
can't be dished up in a way that
brings out its virtues. Here's the
way we do it at home:

Cream of Tomato S0up-If you
have trouble with the milk curdling
when you make cream of tomato
soup, try this method: To cups

milk, l teaspoon salt lor to tastej !,
pepper to taste and lump of butter.
Heat TO boiling point, but do not
boil. The proportion OF milk may
be increased but not decreased
Should this soup be too thin for
your tastes, "a to q cup -four may
be added in the form of thin paste
made with part of the milk. Home
canned tomato juice made with
celery and onion is particularly
delicious made this way. The reason
milk curdles may be the age of the
milk or difference in the tempera-
lures OF milk and tomato juice
When both are cold, curdling is less
apt to happen.

has melted and begins to smoke
Really let it smoke. Then carefully

New Languages
By angelo Pafri

Our school children, from elemen-
tary schools through the colleges,
need to stress the study of languages,
first their own English and then
that of other peoples. In our large
cities We have many citizens who
come from foreign lands. Their
English is far from perfect, but that
is .excusable 1t is always difficult
for one to learn a foreign tongue
after childhood has passed and most
of these people came to the United
States when they were adult. When
the vocal organs are set, as they
must be by the age of maturity,
learning new tongue is difficult,
indeed.
For children, learning a foreign
language is easier. Their hearing
is acute. their vocal organs are at
the full tide of their learning power.
Then is the time to teach language,
English and the chosen foreign
tongue. Not in the high schools,
nor in the Junior high schools, but
in the primary grades should we
begin to teach languages.
We should teach them by CONVEX
sation Learning lessons by the
book, studying verbs and lenses and
endings and all the difficulties of a
language centering on construction
and grammar is about the worst
method to choose. First the chill
dren must learn to talk the language,
then read it, write it and in the
high schools, having learned the
vocabulary and how to use it, study
some of the grammar. Grammar
