the bomb as military weapon,
Gen. Groves said he thought it

on it as a sole weapon of refenSe'
and that the Nation should retain

1t is too early now to tell what

commented.
He concluded with the hope that
the bomb might never again be
needed as military weapon and
that other fields might be developed
in which atomic energy can be
harnessed for peacetime pursuits.
Gen. Groves was introduced by
Mrs. William Davis. the president
Prior to the introduction. Mrs. Davis
told OF her attendance at the meet
ing OF the Security Council of the
UNO last week as a delegate from

State Department had stressed the

Cops Provoke
New Bottle

STAMFORD, Conn. March 70
(LPA) - The nations longest
current strike exploded into
violence here last l!eek when
$50 police tried to escort scabs
and foremen through a picket
line of 1000 strikers and SYM
pathizing unionists at the Yale
& Towne plant.
Police brutality and the arrest
of 21 were denounced by Off
cials of the Intl. Assn. of Ma
chinists and AFL and CIO lead
ers who have supported the
walkout since its beginning.
Flying wedges of cops succeeded
in getting several company Of
ficials through but the firms
counsel, even though surround
ed by 40 policemen, was stopped
cold.
Stamford's combined labor or
ganizations which staged the
first postwar general strike In
the country in protest at Yale
& Towne's open-shop policies,
considered new action to pre-
vent recurrence of the police
brutality and strike breaking.
Yale & Towne, the worlds
largest lock makers, with a
boasted century of open-shop
practices was forced to grant a
maintenance of membership con-
tract to the lam during the war.
Following VI Day the firm an
nounced that from then on it
would operate strictly as an
open shop. AFL and CIO groups
throughout the state immediate
ly rallied to the IAM's support
when con ira ct negotiations
broke down over this disputed
clause.

Minimum Paw
Gets u. S. Okov

(LPA)-The green light was
given to wage boosts to bring
hourly pay up to Csc an hour
by the Wage Sterilization Board
last week. The Board, with in
duStry memers dissenting, an
nounced that such wage in
creases are given advance ap-
proval and may be used as a
basis for seeking price relief
without specific application to
the Board.
Advance approval was also
granted by the Board to certain
classes of increases given in con-
nection with incentive pay sys-
TENS, merit and bonus schedules,
and job evaluation plans.
The Boards action is inter
preted here as a boost for the
Csc minimum wage bill, now
under fire from a bipartisan
group of conservative Congress
men. No substantial price in
creases can be justified under
the new WSB ruling, on the
basis of figures presented to the
Senate Labor & Education Com
mittee by Chester Bowles, now
Economic Sterilization Director.
BOwles Comments
Bowles said that:
First, judging by our his
tory, l should say that the long
run effects of this legislation
would be to reduce prices rather
than to raise them. This is be-
cause higher wages increase pro-
ductivity.
Second, l am satisfied that
even the immediate effects in the
direction of raising prices will
be few in number and small in
magnitude.
Third, even if the price eff
fects were of somewhat greater
dimensions, l would still sup
port the proposed revision. l say
this in spite of my fear of the
huge inflationary forces which
confront us. Prices that depend
upon sweatshop wages are
sweatshop prices. No thoughtful
consumer would choose to bene-
fit through lower prices if those
prices are based on substandard
wages"

In the hearings before the
House Banking and Currency
Committee, considerable SYM
pathy was expressed by COM
mittee members for two infla-
tionary proposals. One would
provide. as an amendment to
the price control act, that when
ever supply and demand of any
commodity approach a balance,
that controls be lifted.
Labor officials point out that
profiteering manufacturers and
retailers can often hold prices
high, even though supplies are
plentiful; in addition, they point
to the case of citrus fruits,
where prices scared after con-
trolls were lifted, and OPA had

More than 1000 foremen are

There are several good rea-

Election Boord
Speeds Voter
Registration

Successful application of
Floyd Madrzykowski in citi-
zen's suit to compel the Lucas
County Board of Elections to
hold a special election on the
Income Payroll Tax Referendum
has brought about feverish ef-
forts on the local Board of Elec-
tions part to conclude registra-
ton and conduct the business
required by the action taken
last week by the Court of Ap-
peals.
Printing, moving of booths
and other activities of the Board
of Elections required by the May
z primary vote has been
speeded. 1t now appears that
Lehr Fess' claim of impossible"
used to hold the election off un-
til May z was merely his own
opinion and that of the Court
of Appeals.
Ask Courts Opinion
Orders to conduct the Payroll
Tax Referendum issued by the
Court of Appeals resulted after
Mr.. Madrzykowski's suit made
the ordinance vote possible. The
referendum was required after
the PAC succeeded in placing
more than $4,000 names on
petitions.
1t was the opinion of the
Board of Elections, based upon
the legal advice of former Judge
Lehr Fess, now Clerk of the
Board, that the election could
be held at the May primaries.
Mr.. Fess, however, acted with
out the advice of County Prose
cutor Joel Rhinefort, legal ad-
visor to the Board.
Ordinance Opposed
Opposition to the city Payroll
Tax comes from many organiza-
tions in CIO, who feel that City
Council did not legislate properly
in failing to provide an exemp-
ton clause freezing the tax for
a 5year period and failing to
provide adequate and satisfac-
tory ALLEGATIONS of the funds to
be derived from the tax.
Principle support fol the tax

and industrialists' interests and

Hit Labor
Publications

NEW YORK, March %
IPA)-Labor papers in New
York City are suffering from
a newsprint squeeze which
has already hit eight union
publications and forced several
to publish belatedly, a survey
made by the Guild Reporter,
American Newspaper Guild-CIO
publication showed last week.
First publications hit by the
lack of newsprint were: Ad-
vance, Amalgamatee Clothing
Workers-CIO; Justice, Init. La
dies Garment Workers-AFL; /;
World, Init. Brotherhood of
Electrical Workers-AFL; and the
Hat Worker Hatters Cap &
Millinery Workers-AFL.
The Guild Reporter received
notice that because Of Constant.
ly curtailed deliveries" of news
print 'the number of pages as
well as the amount of printed
copies has to be reduced.
A similar notice went to edi-
tors of papers published by the
Food, Tobacco & Agricultural
Workers-CIO; Fur Workers
CIO; MI. Maritime Union-CIO;
and the Textile Workers Union
CIO. All including the Guild
Reporter are printed at the Pen
tagon Press which reported that
it now was using 125 to 130 tons
of newsprint monthly compared
to $50 tons a year ago but was
unable to get full quota from
mills. Daily papers meanwhile,
had sufficient paper for usual
needs.
Blamed On Hoarding
In Washington, government
officials who asked that their
names not be used, declared that
the shortage was due in part to
y The lifting of distribution
controls-an action opposed by
unions, and p Hoarding by
dailies.
The Guild Reporter pointed
out that perhaps newsprint was
being diverted to export by
mills, for there is no ceiling on
paper exported"
Meanwhile, said the Reporter,
labor papers printed in New
York don't know if they will
have paper for their next issue.
