Attention coIumbians

CHICAGO (LPA)-Democra-
cy bowed its head last week as
white mobs battled with local
police to prevent two Negro
veteran families from moving
into the Airport Homes, vets
emergency housing project. The
three consecutive nights, in
cluded the burning of wooden
cross four feet high in vacant
lot across from the project, the
overturning of cars and the
stoning of the Negro families
and passersby.
Progressive labor and civic
groups, who have fears of
violence spreading to other parts
of the city because of the ten
sions created by the housing
shortage and the restrictive real
estate covenants, came to the
aid of the Negro veterans NOV
ing into the project and called
for additional local police pro-
lection and for an immediate in
vestigation by the Justice De-
partment.

Truman, in releasing the re-
port, told reporters that the eco
nomic outlook for next year is
good if Americans stay at work.
1t was implied that the steel,
auto and other strikes earlier
this year were not necessary.
"Our view as to the outlook
for production and jobs" said
the three-man Council, "iS that
it should be more than ordi-
narily favorable for a period of
some years ahead. In spite of
certain conditions that might
make a dip in 1947, we believe
that courageous and sensible ac-
ton by those responsible for the
administration of private busi-
ness relations (including labor
unions) can at least hold such
a recession to moderate proper
tions, if not avert it."
nouhts PuhIic Works
The report admitted, how
ever, that ''even with these
favorable conditions it is easy
to visualize such a mishandling
of our economic affairs as might
make 1947 a year of curtailed
production, irregular employ
ment, and unsatisfactory pur-
chasing power"
The advisers asserted that
1--WE do not believe that 1947
presents a situation in which
government should undertake
heroic me easures of public
works, consumer or producer
subsidies to quicken employ
ment or stimulate production.

The big thrill came when
Santa Claus again descended the
chimney on the stage of the
Civic Auditorium and with a
full pack greeted the thousands
Of Titles ones and their parents.
After Santa Claus had passed
cut gifts to the children who en-
tertained the party, the children
lined up before counters which
had been erected at the rear Of
the auditorium where they re-
ceived their gifts which were
passed out by members of the
Local IL Christmas Committee
and the Flying Squadrons of
Z WHY'S Overland, National Sup

When the supply of gifts and
candy and other presents were
exhausted, cards were passed out
emitting the holders to receive
the same gifts by calling at
Local II headquarters, the fol-
lowing two days.
Parents Are Pleased
Parents and those accompany
ing the children expressed their
pleasure at the way the record
breaking crowd of little ones
was handled and the thoughtful

for gifts to those who could not

A total of 5000 children were
given gifts during the party and
at Local IL headquarters ex-

AFL to Norman Thomas, Social
iSt Party leader, last week ended
a libel suit brought by Thomas
as the result of an article in the
unions monthly journal in
November 1914. The Interna-
tional Teamster, in its December
issue, carried retraction of an
attack on Thomas written by
Lester M. Hunt. The article
dealt with the compulsory con-
Scription which was favored by
the Teamsters and opposed by
Thomas and allegedly contained
remarks derogatory to Thomas.

JAW Urges
Joint Plan

NEW YORK (LPA) - Joint
action by the AFL, CIO and
railroad brotherhoods on a CO.
ordinated defense against any
possible anti-union legislative
drive was advocated last week
by the executive board of the
United Auto Workers, CIO, at
the conclusion of its quarterly
meeting here.
The proposal was an endorse
ment of a previous plan Sug-
gested by CIO President Philip
Murray who wrote to leaders of
the AFL, Railway Labor Execu-
tiveS Association and the Broth
erhood of Railroad Trainmen in
viting them to confer on COM
bined strategy against restric-
tive legislation in the next Con-
greSs.
The UAW declared that "the
nation is turning back to the
path of disaster it followed in
the years after the first World
War. Huge profits and high
prices have bitten deeply into
the wages, the living standards
and the purchasing power of the
people"
The UAW, which now has
$4,000 dues-paying members,
will contribute $4,000 a month
during the next year to the CLOS
southern organizing campaign
and $1,000 a month to the CIO
Political Action Committee.

CORN FUTURES HIT
SEASONAL Low EBB
Report Oh Frost In Alberta
Attracts Great
Attention

CHICAGO, Aug. is -(P)- Corn
futures tumbled to new seasonal
lows and oats weakened today on
selling created mainly by continu-
ed favorable outlook for crops.
Trading was active at the start
but slowed down later in the ses-
sion.
Serving to influence weakness in
yellow grain futures was a gen.
eral mark-down in cash corn
prices. No. 2 yellow sold in the
spot market at $1.85 to $1.85 IL
against $1.87 yesterday. Oats were
quoted ID to l cent lower.
Buyers bid $1.85 for corn on a
1o-arrive basis early in the day,
but dropped the quotation to $l.S1
later. Sales stipulate shipment
must be made within four days.
This requirement is made in view
of the possibility ceilings will be
re-imposed on old crop corn next
Wednesday.
Corn futures finished l 1-2-1 7-8
lower, January $1.31 1884,, and
oats were off 1874. There was
no trade in barley. At present
prices, corn is down around Is
cents and oats IA to II cents from
the old OPA price ceilings.
Announcement by the Agricul-
ture Dep; rtment that feed manu-
facturers and dry professors need
no longer restrict corn inventories
to a As day supply had little in
fluence on the market. Grain
dealers said industries were not
anxious to buy more than daily
requirements as they anticipated
early movement of the new crop
grain.
Selling of oats came mainly from
commission houses. The market
received support from buying at
trlbuted to a northwestern eleva-
tor. Eastern demand for cash oats
was reported as slow. The board
received notices of inventions to
deliver $780, 900 bushels Of oats
on August contracts tomorrow.
Soaking rains were reported in
many sections of the midwest.
Traders said they had heard no
reports of damage to the corn
crop. A fl st warning for Alberta,
Canada, attracted considerable at
tention. 1t was said the wheat crop
in that province was at a stage of
growth where it could be severly
damaged by frost.
Cash wheat was firm in most
markets, but broke 5 cents a
bushel on spring varieties at Min
neapols and Duluth. Grain men
said trading in wheat futures might
be resumed here next week if the
price decontrol board rules against
re-imposing ceilings on the bread
grain.
