From The Desk
Melvin Schultz
President,
Local II, UAW,C1O

There has been much publicity, together
with considerable debating by members of our
City Council, about proposed airport for the
City of Toledo. l wonder how much planning
and consideration is being given to the safety
factor of travel by air for this future airport.
There is little doubt that air travel will
become more popular as time passes Travel
can be cheaper by considerable amount and
is so much faster that further savings is eff
fected then any reasonably long trip. For
instance, travelling from Toledo to Washington
requires only 212 hours by air, whereas, it is
an overnight trip by train and equally as long
by automobile A full days time is saved when
travelling by air.
The problem however, that think is be-
coming predominant in the minds of potential
air travellers, is the number of accidents and
fatalities which have been reported by the Press
in recent weeks. There has been at last dozen
accidents, within the neighborhood of 800 fatali-
ties, besides a considerable number of injured
passengers and personnel
We were told during the War that Radar
would make air travel absolutely safe The
accidents which / mentioned above are mostly
blamed on human error and from all of the re.
research work which I have been able to do
about these accidents, not one of these were
equipped with Radar. Did they or did they not
use Radar on bombing missions during the
War? If the Army and Navy did use Radar,
that 1t is developed Suttlclently for CONNER

stall it on all of their planes
We have also been informed that the Radio
Beam System makes flying safe and that a
flasher system of lights designed so that pilots
can land safely without seeing beyond the in
strument board of their panel is available for
use. These safety factors in air travel should be
as mandatory on each airplane as good brakes
are for the travel of an autornohi1p Won are
not permitted to drive on the highway at night
without lights. Why should pilots be permitted
to fly airplanes in foggy weather without the
best possible safety measures for protection
The Toledo Airport, if and when it is
constructed, should by all means include every
means to provide safety in landing and takeoff

Toward Security

Decision of the UAW-CIO Interna-
tional Executive Board to seek increased
security for the workers in the way of
welfare and retirement funds will be
hailed by all members of the United Auto
Workers.
Because of the seasonal nature of the
automotive industry entailing many weeks
of unemployment while changes are being
made in models, the average worker in the
industry has, for many years, been con-
demned to inactivity which has caused
hardship to him and his family.
Under such circumstances, and in view
of the inadequate wages paid to automo-
bile industry workers, ii has been impoS-
sible to budget for emergencies, such as
medical care, disqualification, or even un.
employment.
To provide a welfare fund, as we'll as
. retirement fund will be great forward
step in social thinking and will not only
pay dividends to the workers who give
their lives and time to the automobile in.
dustry, but to the industry itself.

Recognition of its blunder in ordering
.tr;ka in the garages of the Toledo
Automotive Trades Association and agree
ing to permit the mechanics and otner
oarape workers to return to their Work
late last week, does not lessen the tact
that the International Association of Ma
chinists deprived hundreds OF Ioledo
workers of two weeks pay without Secur-
ing a single gain for the people whose
bargaining rights it seeks.
In effect, the lam is telling the work
eys of the 80 garages that either they be-
come dues paying members of their union
mr. thew will not be allowed to work. They
are attempting to force their organization
down the unwilling throats of hundreds OF
mechanics who are now fully aware OF the
failure of the lam to do anything for
either itself or the workers.
When the lam agreed to permit the
garages to reopen, it did so because 1t
recognized that its strike was defeating Its
purpose rather than aiding it. 1t realized
that 1t could offer no gains to the workers,
no increase in wages, no improved work
ing conditions, in fact, nothing The lam
was only too glad to end its strike and try
and get off the barrel over which 1t had
bent itself.
After the LMC had given the lam the
opportunity to save its face by agreeing to
abide by the recommendation made last
Thursday, the lam could do nothing ex-
cept continue to attempt its organization
work among the garage mechanics. But
the workers are not deceived.
1t was the lam which called the strike
and caused the workers in 33 Toledo ga
RACES to lose two weeks pay which they
cannot regain.
It was the lam which, in effect, told
the garage mechanics that they must join
It's organization or else, and then at
tempted without success to prove its point
II was the lam who surrendered and
allowed the garages to be re-Opened with
out even mentioning wages or working
conditions.
Never in the history of the UAW-CIO
In Toledo has strike been called without
securing wage gains for the workers.
Never has the UAW-CIO surrendered
its strikes and gone back to work in an
attempt to save its face.
Unions, like people, must live by prin-
eiples, and the present dispute between
the lam and UAW-CIO should present
conclusive proof that the lam merely
seeks members, whereas the UAW.CIO
seeks TO aid its members, the majority of
the workers of Toledo.
Despite the loss of two weeks wages,
the garage mechanics should at least be
thankful that they have been shown the
true nature of the lam. They should have
no difficulty now in arriving at the right
eonclusion-that the union which calls
unwarranted strikes is not good for the
workers, but the union which has a record
of aecomplishment-the UAW.CIO, is the
organization to join.

By Richard Gosser
Director Region 2B. UAW-ClO

Members of the International UAW-CIO
Board, which held special meeting in Cleve-
land over the last weekend decided that some
thing must be done to remedy the situation
which exists among the workers as result
of the elimination of practically all price
controls.
No union has done more than the United
Automobile Workers in the past years, during
the war and since, to make the members of the
union and the public price-wage conscious.
We have fought for years, not only to bring
wages up, but just as important, to hold prices
down so that the disparity between the two
would not work hardship on those who must
work for their living
With all these things in mind and because
we have been unable to make the adninistra-
ton or industry see the necessity for holding
down prices and maintaining control, the ex-
ecutive board made three decisions during the
Cleveland meeting:
PROGRAM
1. To demand increases in wages to bring
incomes of the workers into better relationship
with prices.
2. To demand that fund be set up by the
automotive industry to insure its employees
against sickness and provide them with hos.
pitalzatiOn.
3. To seek the setting aside of funds by
the automobile manufacturers for the creation
of retirement fund for workers when they no
longer able to work
This program is in keeping with all ad-
vanced social thinking. 1t provides the work.
ers with an incentive, gives them courage be-
cause of the increased security which it pro-
vides and, best of all, assurances that when
their usefulness to the corporations is ended
hat will 10 thrown on
a total loss to themselves and their families
and drain upon their communities as objects
of pity and charity.
The time has long since passed when the
workers will sit back in solid contentment
while high prices, low wages and insecurity
make their lives nightmare of worried an
ticipation of what is going to happen to them.
FORWARD
Labor unions which exist for the purpose
of aiding the workers to aid themselves will be
taking forward step when they all unite in
their demands for more security upon the cor
porations in which they invest their lives and
their labor.
We, too, have a stake in the nation We
have stake in the industries in which we
work. While the corporations invest their
money in the belief and hope of profits, we
invest our labor and lives in making their
profits possible.
We too have the right to expect rewards
for our labor, not the mere making of bare
living, but share in the wealth which. we
produce, greater leisure as our productivity
increases and above all, assurances that we
shall be given more security during our work.
ing lives and when we no longer are capable
of industrial toll.
Our program is good one. one to which
we can all subscribe and which is worthy of
our complete backing.

they could, which wasn't much.
And Ouch, Again.
Enough pre-production grief hap
pened to the all-Negro version of
"Lysistrata," another of the weeks
arrivals, at the Belasco Theater, to
merit one of those Hollywood end
ings where the improvident pro-
ducer finally gets his play on the
boards through the solvent minister
ings of some philanthropic Wall
Street angel in pin-striped wings,
but, sorry to note, such is not the
case with this detected Offering.
Perhaps it was the discouraging
confusion of not knowing until
almost the last moment whether the
play could go on-such was the un-
happy condition of the productions
last minute finances-which sent
the cast into shattering state, thus
causing some of the sorriest
ensemble acting in years. Whether
| it was that or the dispirited direc-
ton of James Light, who co-pro-
duced with Max j. Jelin, the result
was quite fearful.
Gilbert Seldes, who fashioned this
modern version from the Aristo-
phanes original, served neither art
nor low comedy with his adaptation,
utilizing over-forced analogies which
traced current suggestions of war
time political graft, interpolated,
modernized, jazzed-up and just
about drowned the original with
some highly unsuitable and un-
necessary literary indignities.
Some normally effective Negro
players were embroiled in this
mountain of inartistic pap, includ-
ing Rex Ingram, Eta Moten, Fredi
Washington, Mercedes Gilbert and
Mildred Smith. The backstage
contributors, in this case better
described as detractors, include
Ralph Alswang who designed a
ridiculous setting; Felicia Sorel who
supplied colorless choreography, and
Henry Brant who composed music
which seemed to have been written
in a difident hurry. And that is
all the bad theatrical news I have
for today

Miss Warrick's future plans will
depend a lot on how she comes

new big star, because Kate is almost
as important as Joan in the story.
I'D like to do a musical" Ruth
tells me, and when I'm surprised,
she says, It don't want to be a

It is a little frightening to think
that theatrical genius such as Jed
Harris; however erratic in the past,
should have the continued bad taste
or i'll fortune to choose the sort OF
plays he has produced in the last
year or two.

last week at the Biltmore Theater,
is well below even the stature OF the
drama he presented last season.

was aathoms below the quality of
such earlier Harris productions as

LOCO" is far below the managing
capabilities of Jed Harris.

his wife. There is a further com
plication, something about his
daughter coming home from overseas
to have baby, all in good moral
order, since she is married, although
the old boy doesn't like the son-ln-

the two French poodles, also have
many stunts essential to the plot
development.
The property department passed
the problem to a professional dog
trainer. He finally found the pooch

all three in the art of motion-pi
ture acting.
"A screen-trained animal is quite
different from the ordinary house
