JOE LOUIS SUPPORTS
COMMUNITY Chest

USO national headquarters has
just released a statement from
champion Joe Louis in which he
gives his support to the current
$19,O00,000 appeal. The statement
reads:
"I've had many big fights in the
ring and I've won. But there is a
fight that cannot be won alone.
That's the fight that every Ameri-
can must make to preserve the
peace and to build a better world.
We must all get in the fight to-
gether to keep the USO going for
our boys still in service. We must
all fight to keep our Community
Chests filled, so that, our boys and
girls and their families will have a
better way of life. Let's keep slug
ging to get the USO it's money and
to fill the Community Chests"
In most cities, Community Chests
are including USO in their appeal
for local health and welfare agen-
cies. In cities where USO is not
included in the Chests, and thru
out rural sections of the country,
USO is conducting its own fund
raising campaigns.

BIG MEAT HOARD
FOUND IN CHICAGO

Chicago-(FP)-More than As
million pounds of meat are being
boarded in Chicago cold storage
plants, including those of the Big
Four packers.
The charges were leveled here
Oct. 4 by the Chicago Sun on the
basis of its own survey Of storage
plants. The figure was sharp
boost over its own previous eSti-
mate of 18 million pounds and the
paper declared it was highly prob
able" that the boarded reserves
might be even greater than the
new estimate.
Packers tried to explain away
the boards with assertions that
much of it was held for the army.
But the Sun declared it had pre-
viouSly established that no meat
stored in Chicago belonged to army
or other armed forces, nor to
UNRRA, Federal Commodity Cred
it Corp, or the Dept. of Agricul-
ture.

st. Paul, MINI, Oct. 7. - In
creased pay for employees Of the
Federal Government is one of the
major goals of the legislative pro-
gram drafted for the next Con-
gress, James B. Burns, president of
the American Federation of Gov
ernment Employees (AFL), told the
opening session of that organiza-
tons annual convention here.
At the same time the delegates
were cheered by message from
President Truman expressing firm
opposition to indiscriminate dis
missals of Federal workers In the
current program to slash the pay
roll.
Conceding that reductions in
Federal personnel "are an abso-
lutte necessity Mr.. Truman
declared, "yet, at the same time
we must make sure that we dis
tribute those reductions in such
a way that none of the essential
services are crippled"
Though he made no specific men,
ton of the Federal Pay Act Of 1916,
which requires Federal employ
ment be reduced to 100000, the
President added that 1--WE must see
to it that we do not have any sur
plus personnel" In conclusion, his
message said:
"Your convention is being held
at very important time. Never
before in the peacetime history of
this Nation have Government en-
ployes been called on to discharge
as difficult and complex duties and
responsibilities. Failure to dis
charge them effectively would ser
| iously undermine public confidence
in our form of government. We
must therefore work together to
strengthen our career of public
service.
Expressing qualification of the
Presidents message, Mr.. Burns told
the convention:
That's exactly the same position
we have taken for months. We
know that sharp personnel cuts
must be made and we don't want
excess baggage on the Federal pay
roll. B wseontend w that the ar
bi a.. sseersonnel ceiling system
works hardships on many agencies
that can't operate efficiently with
less personnel. If we are to have
efficient government, we can't
lash our payrolls indiscriminatelv.''
The legislative program carried
before the delegates by Mr.. Burns
is aimed at the following objec-
tives:
1. An increase of pay commen-
surate with the real cost of living
rise since 1941, including boost
for those now retired.
2. Extension of the Classifica-
ton Acts benefits to all white
collar clerical workers including
those in the field service.
8. Prevention Of so-called
Arizona sun., 1946-10-11

"down-gradng" in order to cut sal
aries.
4. Establishment of seniority as
a stronger factor in determining
who shall be separated from the
service and in determining promo
tionS.
S. Protection of the retirement
system, with optional retirement
at full annuity after 30 years SER
vice.
6. Six months half-pay for those
dismissed from the service with
five or more years service, and
commensurate compensation for
those with less tenure.
Burns did not set a figure for
the payraise to be sought before
Congress this winter, but pointed
out living costs from 1941 through
las month had risen 45 percent.
Cali this means but one thing" "
he said, that Government en-
ployes are again piling up an ac-
cumulated deficit which is repre-
sented by the gap between the pur-
chasing value of their salaries and
the nominal values of the dollars
they receive. Your national office
will again be ready to wage an
other unrelenting campaign for
salary legislation when Congress
convenes.

LABOR ENDORSES
city BOND issue

The Phoenix Central Labor
Council at its regular meeting un-
animously adopted resolution to
lend all-out support to enact the
Initiative Gas Tax Measure No.
300 which will appear on the Mo-
vember 5th ballot, and to support
the three City of Phoenix Bond
issues for increased water, sewage
and airport facilities.
A condition was added by the
Council that the support would be
given If the construction work in
volved were given to contractors in
the State of Arizona.
The Gas-Tax Initiative Measure
No. 300 to be voted on November
5th will reapportion the gas tax
collections so as to allow the cities
of Arizona to use 1919 of the col
lectionS to help maintain roads and
other improvements within the
city boundaries. At the present
time the gas tax collections are
divided as follows: 1920 for the
State, 3O% for the Counties; and
nothing for the cities. Under
Proposition No. 300 the following
division would be made: 1919 for
the State, 20; for the Counties, and
1920 for the Cities. The only
change would be that 1919 of the
collections would be taken away
from the Counties and given to the
Cities. There would be no increase
in the gas tax.
The City Improvement Bond
Elections will be held on Novem-
Der 18th. Only property owners of
the City of Phoenix will be eligible
to vote at this election. Voters
not properly registered with the
city to vote, should register at the
city hall at once. State registra-
ton is not sufficient to qualify at
~>the city elections.
The Phoenix Improvement
Bonds will be used to make the
water supply of the city adequate
to meet the needs of a sharply in
creased population. This is to be
accomplished by constructing fa-
cilities to bring added water to the
Phoenix area from the Verde
River. The Sewage Bonds will be
used to repair and construct sew
age facilities in Phoenix in order
to overcome the serious health
hazards now existent and to in
crease sewage arrangements for
the growing population. The Air
port Bonds will be used to i'm
prove the Phoenix airport ar
rangements so that larger cargo
and passenger planes may make
Phoenix a regular stopping point.
At the present time these air facili-
ties are wholly inadequate.

Mcfarland Reviews
Of
Democratic Party

Florence, Oct. 10. - (SpeciaD -
Reviewing his own accomplish
ments and the program of the
Democratic party nationally, Unit
ed States Senator Ernest w. Nc
Farland here today fired the open
ing gun in his reelection on Nov.
5. The Senator leaves here today
accompanied by group of Demo-
cratic no.rineeS for two weeks
tour of the state during which he
will visit "a Arizona cities and
towns for addresses and confer
ences with the people of those
communities. This is the latest
of numerous visits to every part
of the state made by the Senator
during the last six years in full
fillment of his pledge when first
elected that he would constantly
keep in touch with the problems
of Arizona.
In his home town, where he has
been successfully practicing at
torney, county prosecutor, judge
and where he owns a successful
farm, the Arizona senator de-
clared that nothing is so impor-
tant for the American people as an
era of peace in the world. AS an
early advocate of international
cooperation among the nations of
the world, Senator Mcfarland has
fought for the United Nations con-
cept as the best guarantee of world
peace.
1.-THE democratic party under
Franklin Roosevelt and Harry
Truman has followed a policy of
planning for peace, Mcfarland
said. "But we never have and do
not now believe that this country
or any country must knuckle down
to any great power. We know now
that the world cannot exist half
slave and half free. For that rea-
son I always have advocated pol
icy of strong national defense. I
do not want our people ever again
to be caught unprepared. And if
we are strong and well prepared,
we are far less likely to be at
tackled"
