Easter Hams Scarce,
But Poultry and Eggs
Are Believed Ample

For most families in Washington
and vicinity there just won't be
that tasty stuffed ham familiar to
Easter dinner tables next Sunday.
Fresh hams are practically nom
existent in the meat refrigerators
Of practically all Washington and
nearby dealers, a survey today
showed. A few cured hams were
reported available and there were
indications that scattered ship
ments of cured hams might arrive
later which would be placed on sale
on a first-come, f1rst-served basis.
Jewish families preparing their
Seder feasts here, marking the an
nual Passover custom. have been
able to obtain generally adequate
supplies of kosher beef, canvass
of kosher dealers revealed.
A fair supply of pork products
other than ham, was reported
Poultry and eggs are available in
generally satisfactory quantities.
From New York, it was reported
that the fresh and cured ham sit
uation is similar to that here, but
that retail markets had a virtual
disappearance of kosher beef for
Seder feasts.

Roll Of Unemployed
In Industries Pinched
For Coal Increases

PITTSBURGH, April 15.-A grow.
ing number Of unemployed in stee
mills. railroads and related indus.
tries dependent on coal today
marked the start of the third weel
of the Nations soft coal strike.
Nearly $4,000 were among the
counted idle today. These included
$500 In United States Steel plants
In the Pittsburgh and Chicago areas
4,500 Baltimore g. Ohio Railroad
workers and some 1000 in Pitts
burgh district railroads, trucking
firms and small steel plants.
In Washington Government Ia
Dor officials reported today that
John l.. Lewis and the soft coal
operators still are as far apart as
six days ago when the United Mine
Workers negotiating committee
walked out of contract conferences
While special conciliator Paul W.
Fuller said resumption Of negotia-
tions would be possible If the Gov
ernment pressed for it, apparently
little could be accomplished by get
ting the parties together now. Both
sides are firmly refusing to give In
on the issues of health, welfare
and safety.
Over the week end Assistant Sec
retary of Labor John w. Gibson
was reported to have conferred
with Mr. Lewis, but department
officials were not optimistic about
the conversations.
Lack of fuel will cause the Sharon
Steel Corp, at Sharon, Pa. to sus-
pend production next week at its

to "the morale Of stabilization."
Friends and foes of the OPA
awaited the signal for House de-
bate on price control extension.
The outcome poses for President
Truman the severest test on eco
nomic policy since he entered the
White House.
Representative Monroney, Demo-
crat Of Oklahoma, told newsmen
there is danger OPA will be SC
amended-and made powerless to
prevent imitation, that even the en-
emies OF price control will be
ashamed of their handiwork."
Actual debate may not begin un-
til after a mid-afternoon meeting
OF Cotton State Senators to give
the price control agency a going
over. Some have proposed that
oPA be divested Of control over all
farm products.
Senators Call Protest Meeting.

Senate Gets Substitute
For Case Labor Bill;
Early Action Unlikely
By the Asseeiotsd Press

The Senate received its Labor
Committees mild substitute for
the House-passed Case strike
control bill today, but prospects
are remote that it will get action
for weeks or months.
Leaders have put it behind such
measuers as the proposed $3,750,-
900 900 loan to Britain, OPA extern
sion legislation and various appro-
priation measures which should be
cleared before the fiscal years end
on June 30.
You can get bets, in fact, that
there will be no action until after
a summer recess and probably not
until after the November elections.
Ball Favors Careful Study.
Speculation that prolonged coal
strike might stir sentiment to take
it up earlier got cold shoulder
from Senator Ball of Minnesota, a
Republican leader in seeking labor
legislation.
While in favor of early action,
Senator Ball told reporters he hoped
nothing of that sort would develop.
II want it to come up when the
Senate is in a mood to give it logi-
cal and dispassionate consideration" !"
he said.
Senator Ball and Senators Taft,
Republican, of Ohio and Smith, Re-
publican, of New Jersey have pre-
pared amendments which would put
back some features of the bill by
Representative Case, Republican, of
South Dakota, which the Senate
committee majority rejected.
Mediation Board Proposed.
AS adopted by the committee. the
bill has two main provisions:
l. Creation of a five-member Fed
eral mediation board which would
seek to settle labor disputes through
mediation and arbitration.
2. A ban against unions, or any
one else, using coercian to collect
tribute" from or interfere with
farmers delivering perishable farm
commodities to markets.
The majority report, filed by
Chairman Murray, said the COM
mittee measure was based on the
conclusion that mo enduring basis
for industrial peace can rest upon
the quicksands Of compulsion and
force"
Among the proposed Ball-Taft-
Smith amendments is one which
would require that unions and en-
ployers make use of the mediation
machinery for at least so days be-
fore q strike or lockout.

COP Presidential Boom
For Vundenberq Bequn
BY the Assoeioisd Press

A group of Midwestern Republi-
can legislators began talking today
about booming Senator Vandenberg
of Michigan for the 1948 presiden-
tial nomination.
Most Of the lawmakers in this
group asked not to be named, but
Representative Mundt of South Da-
kota, who frequently acts as a
spokesman for the Midwesterners
showed no such hesitancy.
He proposed not only that Senator
Vandenberg be considered for the
No. ] COP post, but that Repre-
sentative Dirksen Of Illinois be
chosen as his running mate. Mr..

the right of the people to choose
their form of government.
1t is obvious that these goals re-
quire first Of all the efforts of each
nation within itself. But. If we have
learned anything in the last decade
1t Is that no nation can stand alone.
Only through genuine cooperative
effort can these goals be achieved in
the world at large. They require
international cooperation toward
expanding production, increasing
world trade, and developing natural
resources so that all efforts to i'm
prove living standards may rest
upon a solid basis.
That kind of cooperation is in
herent in the principles which have
guided the Pan American program
in the past. We must translate
those principles into effective ac-
tion and tangible results in the
future.
State Exists for Man.
Our American tradition rests on
the belief that the state exists for
the benefit of man. The American
republics have overwhelmingly re-
jected the false doctrine that man
exists for the benefit of the state.
We must now prove that interna-
tional cooperation, too, exists only
for the benefit of man. The peo-
pies OF the Americas have a right
to expect of the Pan American
system that it show its validity by
promoting those liberties and prin-
ciples which the word democracy
implies to them. Pan American SOL
idarity must prove itself to be in
fact bulwark of democratic peace
If we dedicate ourselves to this
objective we shall make the fullest
contribution to the welfare of our
own people and of the world at
large. BY giving tangible express
sion to the meaning of democracy we
shall widen and strengthen its hold
upon the imagination of the world.
In that way we can revitalize,
through our Pan American Cooper
alton, the faith of peoples every
where in their ability to build a
peaceful world upon a Arm founda-

"The quickest and surest way to

Bowles said, is to maintain a sta
bic economy in which people are
confident that prices and costs are
not going to run away.
I'VE can never hope to produce
enough to satisfy the unnatural de-
mand that would be generated by a
panicky movement to turn the vast
reservoir of liquid assets into goods
To block imitation we must keep the

CITIZENS LAUNCH DRIVE
TO RAISE S350,000
FOR HOSPITAL

NEW YORK, May 7 (ANP)-
A group of representative men and
women, comprising a cross-section
of all the major business, social,
racial and religious interests of the
community, has organized the
Sydenham Hospital fund to raise
S35O,00O for the hospitals opera
ton for the next three years.
Sydenham hospital, 100000
Grade-A History hospital, dedi-
Gated its 181 beds to interracial
service on Dec. 20, 1943, to be-
come the country's first COM
pletely interracial voluntary hospi-
tai. The hospitals board of trus-
tees includes members of both
races.
The mortality rate of the area
served by Sydenham hospital is
36 per cent higher than the aver
age for all Of greater New York,
reported the Neighborhood Health
development, Inc, sometime ago.
Maternity mortality is three times
as high and infant mortality is 81
per cent higher.
Inadequate health and medical
facilities in this area are due to
an insufficient number of Negro
doctors, which is credited to fail
ure to make available to Negroes
adequate opportunity for profes-
sional development through de-
nial of resident and staff privi-
leges in voluntary hospitals.
The S350,O0O is said to be the
minimum sum required for the
hospital to operate on sound and
efficient basis for the next three
years, sponsoring committee

final JUDGMENT (lIN(HES
EQUAL SALARIES FOR
NEGRO TEACHERS

CAIRO, ILL.,, May Z. (ANP)-Jim
crow took a knockout in the final
judgment of the U. S. District court
on equal salaries for local Negro
teachers here.
A sweeping decision by Judge
Fred l.. Wham, of the eastern dis
trict of Illinois, ruled that the diff
ference in current salaries for local
Negro teachers be retroactive to
Jan. l, 1915, plus passing court
costs on to the defendants, namely
Leo. C. Schultz, superintendent of
the public school system here, mem
bers of the board of education of
Cairo, School District No. l and it's
officials.
Salary differentials, based on
race and color, "is unlawful and un-
constitutional and is in violation of
the equal protection clause of the
18th amendment of the constitu-
ton of the United States and of
Section Al of Title of U. S. code,"
Judge Wham ruled.
He further ordered "that any
other increases in the salaries of
teachers and principles in said pub
lie school system by the defendants
in this action, or their successors in
office, shall be made on an equal
basis for all teachers and principals
in said public school system, posses
sing the same professional qualifi-
cations and experience and render
ing similar services, and, provided
further, that the equalization of
salaries provided for under this
judgment and decree shall be made
solely upon the same professional
qualifications and experience and
similar services performed by
teachers and principals"
