Price Picket Corps
 Grows Into Labor
 Economic Militia
AFL Union Cites Success In Forcing Excessive Meat
 Cost Down 5O%o

Milwaukee (LPA)-What started as local price-picketing squads will be continued in "a permanent organiza- ton for civic and political action" |" President Lester Washburn of the AFL- United Auto Workers told a group of local union presidents here this week.
 ''Our price picket squads and our local price committees which control their jobs in the community are here to stay" Washburn stated. The union intends, he said, ''to ex- pand our present organizational work of price picket squads and price control committees into an economic labor militia ever ready to be alled out to face an emerg- ency."
 Washburn recounted instances of the effectiveness of the price picket ing squads work. In one example, he said, Is minutes of pioketing brought prices down more than 50%o in a meat market guilty of charging ex- cessive prices. The illustration was typical of what has gone on in all parts of the country, the AFL-UAW head commented.

AFL Reades State National Drve For Political Action

exert every effort to see that housing legislation is brought up early. If the President should call Congress back to a special session, there are a number of us who in- tend to call this bill up and insist on hearings and action on the floor"
 The only hope held out for the measure, by Banking Committee Chairman Brent Spence O., Ky.) and Housing Expediter Wilson Wyatt, was that if special session of Congress is called by President Tru- man, the Housing Bill might be high on the agenda.
 Special bitterness was expressed by the American Veterans Commit tee, whose chairman, Charles C. BOlte, wired Congressional leaders urging that Congress remain in ses- sion until the bill was passed. The goal of the Wagner-Ellender-Taft bill is to aid in the construction of l,375, ,OOO private housing units, and l25,OOO lOw-cOst public hOus- ing units each year over a four year period.

Here's How You
 Make Votes Count

''Va1ue Your Vote," a flyer pub lished by the Connecticut League of Women Voters, is being circulated by the 40 local Leagues in Connecticut. It explains how to be an effective voter in this state, and suggests to all voters the political and partisan ac- tivity necessary to the health of the two-party system.
 The flyer, "Value Your Vote" asks the questions: "Where are you on voting day? Are you an armchair citi- zen, or do you work at being a citi- zen? Do you vote for candidates you helped to choose or those chosen by somebody else? In Connecticut local candidates and delegates to conven- tionS are chosen in caucuses or pri- maries. Only party members may at tend a caucus or primary; therefore, only party members may influence the choice of candidates and dele gates. Joining a party does not de- stroy your independence, for you can still vote as you please on election day"

Rep. WoOdhOuse Hits COP Delays

Blames Republican Leader ship For Obstructing Wag-

Republican leadership must as- sume full blame for the Obstruc- tiOnist tactics employed by COP members of the House Banking and Currency Committee in doom ing to defeat the very much need ed Wagner-Ellender-Taft housing bill, Rep. Chase Going WOOdhOuse, committee member, wrote this week.
 In long letter of explanation an- swering telegram from Secretary Treasurer Joseph M. Rourke of the Connecticut Federation of Labor, Mrs. Woodhouse pointed to the committees fine record of having reported q measures to the House floor which were subsequently, passed on to the Senate.
 Three Little COPS
 Three Republican members did their best to drag out hearings on the British loan and OPA which de- layed hearings on the Housing Bill, " she wrote. "When ules providing for full hearings are misused as they have by the three Republican mem- bers, the result is bad"

Local Group Gives
 } Recommendations
(Continued from Page One)

lContmued from Page One) among workers and veterans gener- ally.
 2. That union members should be called upon to participate i'll party eau cuses and to fight for the nomination of progressive candidates by the par ties.
 B. That plans be devised for the canvassing of voters to urge them to support candidates who are friends of labor. Committees in al Organizations should be set up to carry on this ac- tivity.
 With regard to recommendation No. l, experience has shown that when registration and voting are heavy Iabor's friends have a better chance of winning. Each union member should be asked if he is a voter. If not, he should be given information as to when and where he may be registered, and he should be urged to do so as soon as possible. Announcements of dates and places for registration should be printed and distributed to workers in every city and town, and such announcements should stress the importance of workers using their political rights.
 As regards recommendation No. 2, trade unionists who have the oppor- tunity to be designated to take part in caucuses at which nominations are made should avail themselves of it. They should declare openly at these caucuses that labor will vote only proven friends, and they should throw their support to candidates with sound records.
 Recommendation No. speaks for itself. Volunteers to carry on canvas sing should be sought now, so that the machinery will be ready for this i'm port work when the time arrives for it to begin.
 We hope, as suggested in our pre- vious letter, that you have formed your own Non-Partisan Political Committee. Please supply Us with the name and address of the committees secretary.
 With thanks for your cooperation, we are,

HEAVIER TRAFFIC
FOLLOWS PAVING
Increased Use OF Ninth
Street Reported After
Restricting

A sharp rise in traffic on Ninth
Street between Swami and Bruins
wick has followed progress of the
City Engineering departments re-
surfacing program on that four
block stretch, City Manager j. R!
Benson reported yesterday.
Paving of the former dirt road
has resulted in its use by some
passenger vehicles that would
otherwise cross the Smiths creek
bridge and enter the city by way
of Third Street, he said.
Development of North Ninth
street gives promise therefore of
diverting some traffic from Third
Street although it is in no sense
an alternative to the round-the-
town truck route now being pro-
'cessed by the city administration.
City Engineer j. A. Loughlin
reported last night that his forces
have so far laid a rock surface
on a three-block section Of North
Ninth and are almost ready to be-
gin final paving.
The development will be COM
pleted when the Atlantic Coast
Line finishes installing fresh tim
Der and ballast on that portion of
the yards through which vehicles
must pass to use the route.
Material shortages are holding
up the ACL's share Of the project,
he reported.

RESERVE OPENED
TO 0N-VETERAN
1t. Henry Bost Reveals New
Rules Concerning Navy
Unit Here

A new ruling authorizing the ac-
ceptance of men between the ages
of II and is and a half years, and
80 and 40 years with no previous
military service into the local
naval reserve uni, was announced
last night by L Henry q Bost,
head of the Wilmington reserve or
ganization, following receipt of a
directive from the director of re-
serve, Sixth Naval district.
The acceptance of non-veterans
into the eserve was made condi-
tional, however, in that applicants
must pass a physical and intelli-
gence test at a specified time and
place. Men having previous serv-
ice, on the other hand, r admit
ted upon request provided they
were discharged under honorable
conditions, 1t. Bost said.
The directive specifying the dras-
tic change in Navy policy also
raised the number Of officers and
warrant officers authorized the To-
cal unit. In addition to the 10 Off
GERS now allowed, three more COM
missioned and two warrant Off
GERS may be assigned in an asso-
ciate status.
Prior to yesterdays announce
ment, the policy has been that all
members accepted into reserve
training units must have had prev
ious military service. Coast Guard
as well as navy veterans r ac-
cepted with the same rating they
held at the time of their discharge.
Army and Marine veterans ,areaalso
eligible but they will not be given
a rating higher than the fifth pay
grade.
In commenting upon the lifting
of the ban against non-veterans,
1t. Bost expressed confidence that
the quota of 200 enlisted men and
remaining officer vacancies will e
filled within a short time. He
urged veterans to take advantage
of the fact that they are not re-
ouired to take any examination be-
fore being accepted into the local
unit.
Meanwhile, 1t. Bost has been
ordered to Charleston, S. c., for
temporary duty in connection with
the new policy and will return
around December 81. Anyone in
terested in the new program has
been asked to contact him at his
office in the custom house after
that date.
