 Notion Crumbles
 In Dow Dispute
Arbitrator D. E. Whiting Sees Anti-Union Intent
 Of Hershey Idea

WASHINGTON (LPA)-Super~ seniority received another body-blow last week with an arbitration award which repudiated the anti-union in- depreciation of the Selective Service Act by Director Hershey.
 Hershey's construction of Memo randum 1904, issued by the Selec- tive Service System and used by anti-labor employers as a union busting weapon, was exploded com- pletely by Dudley E. Whiting, arbi- trator in a dispute between the Dow Chemical Co.,, Bay City, Mich, and the United Auto Workers.
 The super-seniority memorandum, Whiting found, lis not a rule of a regulation by which the parties are bound. The Act does not empower the Director to promulgate rules or regulations of that nature and the Memorandum does not purport to be such."
 ''HERSHEY'S INVENTION''
 Whiting declared that 'Since the statute itself is perfectly clear and unambiguous, it would be highly improper and contrary to accepted rules of statutory construction to distOrt its language to concur with the executive construction of the Act made by national headquarters of Selective Service System."

Truman's s Program
 Won't Be Enough

Washington (LPA) = Almost B. 100000 families will be living "dou- bled up" by the end of next year, even if President Trunan's housing mate rial priorities program lives up to the expectations of its authors, it was predicted here last week.
 Not enough has been done to get construction of homes within the price range of the vast major ity of home-seekers, it was charged, and spokesmen of organized labor made it clear they intended to seek additional action from the Admin istratiOn to get a really far-reaching program of housing under way in the next few months.
 Highly critical was AFL housing committee secretary Boris Shishkin, who told reporters that the priority regulation is a "timid, indecisive be- trayal of the public interest" He charged the Administration plan with being double talk" Shishkin assert ed, as have all sections of organized labor, that complete control over all building materials should be reinsti- tuted.

Status Of 10 Bills
 Vital To Workers.

Washington (LPA)-Labor spokes- men here were pointing to the sorry job that Congress has done since VI Day on the dozens of issues vital to Labor and urging that every union member visit his or her Senators and Congressmen while they are home for the recess which ends Jan. IA.
 There were two pieces of must legislation" on wich both labor and the Truman administration were agreed when the sudden end of the war in the Pacific came. They were ::
 Full Employment Bill
 Now in conference, the Senate yer sion is much closer to the original bill; the House completely emacu- lated it. Even the best compromise between the two probably will not please organized labor.
 Unemployment Compensation
 The original proposal supported by labor to extend state benefits at least to $25 a week maximum, and at least to a Pc week maxi mum, was completely killed by the Senate. The measure is still bottled up in the House Ways and Means Committee where the lineup is IA to 10 against any consideration.
 Here is the balance sheet on other important meausures:
 Wartime Controls
 The Smith Connally Act limiting the right to strike is in the process of being amended; the House has before it the May-Arends bill which would add to the Smith -Connally bill pro- hibitions on political activities by un- ions and place penalties on unions for unauthorized strikes. The Hobbs bill, which restricts the right to picket and is amed at the Teamsters, has been passed by the House. Both bills, as well as the Ball-Hatch bill restricting the collective bargaining activities of unions, are still to be discussed by the Senate Labor & Education Committee and may die there.
 Csc Minimum Wage
 The Pepper-Hook bill faces an attempted flibuster by Sen. Arthur Ellender in the Senate Labor Com- mittee, and is up for an early vote in the House Labor Committee. It provides for a Csc minimum wage in interstate industry, rising to 75c i'm two years.
 Housing
 The long-range Wagner -Ellender- Taft housing bill, which covers en- couragement of private construction for middle income" families, revival of the federal low-rent housing pro gram, and funds for urban planning and redevopinent, has just been through hearings before the Senate Banking Committee. No House con- sideration is yet scheduled on this i'm portant measure. Meanwhile, the Pat

 The Banquet
 The Waterbury Central Labor Un- ion, host to the sixtieth convention, has made full plans to make the dele gates as comfortable as possible. The highlights of these plans will come Thursday evening, when the conven- tion banquet will be held. There will be no speakers, the committee stating that 1t prefers to concentrate on a frst-class meal and entertainment. The banquet, to be held at the Elton, will begin at 8 PM. and will be fol- lowed by dancingl with music by Cliff Slater's orchestra.
 Plans for the banquet, which Pres. Brennan says will be one of the best, are being made by a com. mittee of the Waterbury Central Labor Union consisting of Frank Cary, Motion Picture Operators 1; James Corrigna, Stage Employees; l; George Sabo, Electricians, and Pres. Brennan. George Sabo is in charge of tickets, which will be sold at $S.5O.
 Nominations for officers will be held Thursday, and elections will be held on Friday.

man bill which would place price, cell ings on new and old houses, set strict priorities on building materials, and insure first choice of homes for vet erans, is stalled in the House Bank ing and Currency Committee.
 Social Security
 Hearings before the House Ways and Means Committee are probably scheduled for February on social security revision, and consideration is expected then of the Wagner-Murray-D -DingeH bill. The Senate Labor Committee will also take up this measure early in the Spring. The bill provides for compulsory health insurance and comprehensive program of devel- opment of the resources for caring for the sick and preventing illness.
 Fair Employment Practices
 The bill for a permanent FEPC is stalled in the House, and Discharge Petition 4 is now being signed by Representatives who want chance to get the bill to the floor. In the Sen ate, Republican Senators are promis- ing early action to force vote.
 US. Employment, Service
 Truman vetoed Congress- rider to bill cutting appropriations for war purposes, which would have returned the USES to the states June 30, l946. Labor wants the USES to become a permanent fed- eral agency; Truman wants it con- tinued at least until June 30, 1946 in federal hands.
 OPA Extension
 Labor is strongly in favor of con- tinuance of price control for a full year after June 30, 1946, when the present Price Control Act expires. Industry in general is fighting this, and trying to postpone any discussion of this in Congress. No hearings on extension are scheduled yet.
 Poll Tax Abolition
 Commitments to vote for cloture ito limit debate in the event of a filibuster-are being sought in the Senate.

Inland Flouts
 WLB On Eve Of
 Steel Walkout.
45,OOO More Workers Back ing Nationwide Strike
 Called For Jan. IA

Washington (LPA) The nation. wide steel strike, now scheduled for Jan. IA, will have the further back ing of 45,0O0 more members of the United Steelworkers-CIO as a re- suit of belated polling in the NLRB strike balloting under the Smith Con- nally Act.
 The steel companies of the ma. ton, from US. Steel to the small. est plant, meanwhile held their united front of opposition to the demand for a $2 day basic pay raise, thus precipitating a strike that promises to be the largest, and perhaps the longest drawn out in the nations history.
 Would Cripple 4O8o Output
 In addition to the estimated 600,- 900 workers in the steel, aluminium and allied industries who would be on strike, it is estimated that 40%o of the workers in the nations industrial pro- duction would eventually be tied up by long-drawn out strike.
 The United Steelworkers mean. while sent to the National Labor Relations Board charges that the Inland Steel Co. has violated the National Labor Relations Act. The unions secretary-treasurer, David J. Mcdonald, said that Inland Steel through a policy of stalling action on it's new contract, had wriggled out from under the War Labor Boards order that the corporation include in the contract provisions for maintenance of membership and checkof of union dues.

Get This Fascist
 Organizes Union

WASHINGTON (LPA) - Vance Muse, the Texas rabble-rouser and head of the labor-hating Christian Americans has cooked up new rack ct. This time it's a "union"-called the Right to Work Union-and it's just as phoney as each of the other dozen or SO Sucker" organizations that Muse has set up.
 No dues, no assessments, according to the Texas fuehrer, but contribu- tions gladly accepted. Although ex- posed by Congressional and state in- vestigating committee and by labor groups throughout the south Muse has peddled his labor-hating and un- ion-busting bilge for more than Is years with varying degreees of 6nan- cial success. His Christian Americans succeeded last year in having the so- called right to work amendment in- troduced in several state legislatures and in addition supported every item of anti-1abor legislation that came down the pike.

Delay 65c Minimum Pay Bill In Senate

Washington (LPA)-A well-timed maneuver by Sen. Arthur Ellender O., La.) coupled with the absentee ism of progressive committee mem bers, resulted last week in another delay in vote in the Senate Labor Committee on the proposal to estab- fish 65c wage minimum.
 GROUP HAD AGREED
 The committee had agreed to vote on the Pepper bill setting a 65c minimum wage and extending cOverage to food processing and maritime workers under the Fair Labor Standards Act, as soon as 8 record of the extensive hearings was completed.
 Apparently afraid to give opposi- tion spokesman a chance to speak in public, Ellender insisted that they be heard in executive session.

Of twenty in- dustries surveyed, only the food pro- cessors still retained approximately the same number of women workers Proportionately more women than men were affected by cutbacks fol lowing VJ-Day.

the liquor on which he became

"The case is an aftermath
OF the Army's stamp of approval ON

TOKYO, Jan. 30.-The mother of

stunned and broken-hearted," ap-
pealed to Gen. Macarthur to save
her son from firing squad, and the
general has assured her that final
authorities in Washington would
give thoughtful consideration" to
her defense.
Hicswa recently was convicted by
military court of killing two Japa-
nese. allegedly while drunk.
Making public today the exchange
of letters, headquarters said Mrs.
Anne Hicswa, Wellington, N. j.,
wrote on January is:
Il implore you to act Immediately
to request a review Of the United
States Army court-martial proceed
ings under which my soldier son,
Pfc. Joseph E. Hicswa, was sentenced
to death in Japan for the alleged
fatal stabbing of two japanese.
He was torn away from his home
to serve his country at the age Of
49," her letter continued; he was
taught to kill, had heard of many
of his friends being killed, and was
under the emotional strain of de-
layed homecoming-all factors to
which might be attributed, to some
extent, the cause for such abnormal
conduct as is repeatedly alleged in
his case.
Certainly they should be consid-
cred before an American soldier re-
ceives a death sentence"
Gen. Macarthur January %, re-
piled that your letter moved me
deeply, as I am fully conscious of
the distress occasioned you by this
great tragedy.
There is no manner in which
can intercede in this matter, as the
record of the trial will go direct
from the division commander to the
War Department for review, the
right of final action on cases in
volving the death penalty being no
longer within my prerogatives.
I can assure you, however, that
you need have no fear but that all
of the circumstances which your
mothers love instinctively raises in
defense of your son will receive the
thoughtful consideration of those
who sit in final judgment upon his
case. This is in keeping with our
American sense of Justice"
