PETRILLO
VERDICT
WEIGHED

Chicago (FP)-Following a day
of legal arguments, Federal Judge
Walter ]. LaBuy took under ad-
visement the question of convicting
President James c. Petrillo Of the
American Federation of Musicians
for violation Of the Lea act.
Penalties of up to one years inn
prisonment and $1,000 fine face
Petrillo if he is convicted for call
ing a strike of three record hand
lers at radio station WAAF here
when the station refused to hire
three additional musicians. The act
prohibits the use Of force, threats
or "other means" to compel sta
tions to hire more employees than
they want.
Admitting that Petrillo had vio-
lated the act, AFL Attorney
Joseph A. Padway, in 3-hour
argument, contended that the case
should be dismissed on the ground
that the law is unconstitutional.
While John S. Pratt, special as
sistant attorney general, accused
Petrillo Of leading a racketeering
organization that has extorted mil
lions of dollars from the radio in
dustry, Padway pointed out that
the union leader was, actually
fighting for musicians displaced
from their jobs by the sound
movies, monographs, radio sta
tions and juke boxes.
Padway gave an exhaustive
analysis of the act, charging it was
invalid because it abridged free
dom of speech, imposed involun-
tary servitude on workers and was
discriminatory because it applied
only to the radio industry.
The suit was brought by the

measure, which was passed early
this year after intensive lobbying

Green Rops
Randolph On
Pullman Drive

Washington (FP) - President
A. Philip Randolph of the Brother.
hood Of Sleeping Car Porters was
denounced by AFL President Will
liam Green and a group Of TOP
leaders in the shopcraft unions fol
claiming victory in the Chicago
AFL convention whereas in fact
the convention deplored the activi-
ties of Randolph's union.
The situation centers around an
NLRB election in the Pullman sys-
TEN shops across the country, with
the Sleeping Car Porters trying
to organize car cleaners, mechan-
les, helpers and apprentices.
Green's statement in a letter to
President Felix II. Knight of the
Brotherhood of Railway Carmen
stated the convention "did not take
action authorizing the Brother
hood of Sleeping Car Porters to
organize Pullman yard and shop
employees" He added that it
recognized that these workers
come under the jurisdiction Of
the shopcraft organizations"

Just a few days ago smolder-
ing bitterness blazed into the open
when a gun cracked and the adopt
ed nephew of the Dominican presi-
dent crumpled up dead
The man looked like a Negro and
a restaurant man in little Florida
town had told him he must go
around to the back door for serv-
ice.
Somehow fight started-so it
is reported-and a deputy sheriff,
rushed to the scene, shot in what
he said was self-defense.
Here was no Ku Klux Klan, with
organized hatred. Here was just a
sort of run of the mill feeling,
manifest over great part of the
south, in one way or another.
The United States courts Latin
America for many reasons, most
of which are honorable and sound.
But incidents like this undo in a
hurry what takes months to
achieve.
Many Latin Americans are of
dark skin, most of which is Of In
dian heritage, some from Negro.
The Latins themselves, know no
racial prejudices.
Our Southern gateways to the
United States are having a hard
time bringing themselves to under
stand the views of the Latins to-
ward color and a hard time adjust
ing their own viewpoint to the
visitors of dark skin.
Not too long ago, for example,
two high church dignitaries enter
ed at the port of Miami, by air
from South America. They were
very dark-possibly Negroes. They
knew something of the Southern
views, but they didn't know all.
On hot day they betook them
selves to Bay Front park. A po-
liceman accosted them and with
much name-calling drove them
from the park to which only
whites are admitted. To say they
were chargrined put it mildly.
A Mexican consul in a Texas
city, not too many years ago,
took to task bitterly a high A. F. |
of l.. official because this consul |
could not enter high class Texas
restaurant. He resnted keenly |
what he felt was an unreasoning
discrimination.
The Ku Klux Klan is a vicious
hing. 1t capitalizes upon prejudic-
es and it seeks to organize them
so that they can be made power
'ul and lucrative.
But the every day man has to
that there can be no
ilan and no other mobilized hates
where there is not a foundation

It work.
The prejudices of much of the
south cannot be wiped out in
lurry. The roots are deep in

Comment On World Events

Good news-if true-comes from
Berlin in a Chicago Sun dispatch,
which reports:
"A high-ranking Russian Off
cial said that the Soviet military
government is prepared to sign a
4-power declaration binding all
the occupation forces in Germany
to refrain from conscripting Ger
mans for work abroad"
The Sun dispatch goes on to say
that the Russian decision will not
be made public until joint state
ment of policy has been approved
by the British, French, Russian
and American military govern
ments. 1t adds that such a declara-
tion has been approved in principle
by all and probably will be for
mally issued at the next meeting
of the Allied Control Council.
This declaration, provided it is
made in good faith and enforced,
ought TO end the use of German
forced labor. Unfortunately it will
not stop the use of Poles, citizens
Of the former Baltic republics and
Russians themselves as forced
workers in Soviet-land, but it is to
be hoped it will mark a step to-
ward the elimination of this form
of slavery everywhere.
The ban on printed matter to
and from Germany and Japan was
protested again to the War De-
partment recently, following re-
ceipt by the American Civil Liber-
ties Union of additional informa-
tion regarding the practices. The
War Department contends that the
restrictions are made necessary by
the lack of shipping space, limited
customs facilities and by the views
of the other occupying powers.
The liberties union points out
that lack of shipping space does
not justify prohibiting even the
mailing of news clippings nor the
mailing of single copies Of maya
zines TO Germans or japanese. The
union contends that the "views of
the occupying powers" should have
no relation to the U. S. administra-
tion in its own zone.
While the unions protests are
restricted to the total ban on print
ed matter, it is concerned also with
censorship of publications both in
the occupied countries and in i'm
national communications.
In view Of the attacks made here
on collective bargaining between
organized government employees
and government agencies, it is Of
interest that former high British
labor official staunchly defends
collective bargaining in govern
ment enterprises.
Speaking of London, Charles
Dukes, immediate past-president
Of the Trades Union Congress
said:
collective bargaining is as es-
sential under state ownership of
industry as in private enterprise"

dom and independence of trades

PICKETING CURB
TRANSFERS DEFY

San Diego, Calf. (FP) - The
second effort this year to curb sec
ondary union boycotts was chal-
lenged here by Local 6S3, Inter-
national Brotherhood of Team
sters.
When the management Of the
Farmer Bros. Coffee Co., ESTATE
concern, refused to negotiate with
the teamsters, the union threw
picketlines around restaurants and
cafes using the company's coffee.
As AFL cooks, walters and bar
tenders refused to cross the lines,
company head Roy Farmer obtain
ed temporary restraining order
to halt the picketing.

Warns DeconfroI
Trend Threatens
Veteran HouSinq

Washington (FP) - The admin
istration's accelerated decontrol
policy can be serious threat to
the success Of the veterans emer-
gency housing program, Housing
Expediter Wilson Wyatt warned
unless a firm control is kept on
vital building materials.
In his progress report covering
operations through September,
Wyatt said: "ln order to achieve
the goals of the veterans emer-
gency housing program, controls
must be retained on materials vital
to housing until a closer balance
between supply and demand is
achieved.
Likewise, authority to control
authorizations for construction, as
well as price ceilings on new hous-
ing, and veterans preference, are
essential elements of the pro-
gram" The report showed dollar
value of residential buildings in
September exceeded nonresidential
by 1856 million dollars to $40 mil
lion dollars.
"If production of building ma
terials and their flow into housing
are seriously interrupted or if
prices rise too much," said Wyatt,
"home construction will inevitably
suffer and the nation will invite a
repetition Of the experience after
World War when prices sky
rocketed out of the reach of Gus
toners, and BODYBUILDING took a
precipitous drop for lack Of Gus
toners able to buy"
Although warning against
strikes in construction materials
as a possible deterrent
to allout production, Wyatt laid
his emphasis on price rises in gen.
eral and housing cost initiation in
particular as the main threats to
the successful housing of veterans.

No Parking Charges
In State Parks

The state Commission of Forests
and Parks has decided to abolish. /
50-cent parking fee at Maryland
recerational forests and parks, Gov
ernor Herbert R. O'Conor disclosed
after receiving a memorandum from
the agency.
The revenue derived from the
parking fee during the six-montL
trial period-the fee was instituted
in June. 1945-was between $4,000
and $1,000, the commission reported
adding that this sum had been spen,
".entirely on the salaries of the
guards and on the minor improve
ments in facilities"
Several complaints over the Zee
system though not serious in ma
ture' had been received by the com
mission and were of sufficient i'm
poratnce to abolish these parking
fees effective on or before April /,
1916" the commission wrote the
governor.
The principal parks in the Eastern
Shore area in which the parking fee
was a source of complaint are In
Worcester and Cecil Counties.
