Lays Expulsion Move
To lis Racial Policy

American Veterans Committee.
Chapter No. BAL, composed of stu
dents at George Washington Uni
Iversity, declared today that move
requesting that the chapters leaders
be expelled from the school was
motivated solely" by an issue OF
racial discrimination" at Lisner
Auditorium.
The q. w. Student Veterans Club
reported In the initial issue of its
newspaper yesterday that the uni
versity's Student Life Committee, a
faculty-student governing group,
has requested that DR.. Cloyd Heck
Marvin, G. w. president, expell lead
ers of the AVG Chapter for "ignor-
ing warnings about using the uni
ve1sity's name In connection with
chapter activities. The AVG Chap
ter had been denied formal recog-
milton on the campus because of
political activities" school officials
said.
The. resolution calling for expul-
sion of chapter leaders is based
solely on disagreement of Chapter
BAL with the university policy of
discrimination at Lisner Auditor
ium," declared the chapter in reso-
luton of It's own.
Adopted at "a meeting last night
the AVG resolution also "reaf-
firmed our determination to end the
discrimination against Negroes, who
attempt admittance to the audi
torium.' The group has directly
concerned itself with attempts to

Don Rothenberg, chairman of the

man of the Washington AVG Area

ised backing of the entire area and
national organization, if the school
moves to expel chapter leaders.
More than $50 chapter members
attended the meeting last night.
The group has a membership Of
about 280 students.
Meanwhile, the Student Veterans
Club joined in the fight by request
ing that the use of university build

chapter has deliberately fostered
the idea that is speaks for all G. w.

On Veterans HOUSING

President Truman had telegram
today from Franklin D. Roosevelt,
jr.. national housing chairman OF
the American Veterans Committee,
urging the President to use his war
powers to back the industriafized
housing program Of Housing Adj
ministrator Wilson Wyatt.
The removal Of price controls, /"
Mr.. Roosevelt said, places great
responsibility on you as President
to make sure that homes are pro-
duced which veterans can afford
to buy or rent"
Mr.. Roosevelt also issued state
ment at news conference yester-
day afternoon attacking the Ma
tional Association of Real Estate
Boards for seeking removal OF rent
controls.
Saying the end of rent controls
would be catastrophe, he added !:
when rent controls were removed
after World War I. rentals went up
3l2 per cent. II controls are re-
moved now, rents will not come
down when the general price level
declines because Of the acute short
age OF housing. This would mean
that, with controls removed, the
average veteran would put out
almost one-half of his income for
rent"
Mr.. Roosevelt denied there had
been any drastic squeeze on land
lords, as real estate interests con-
tend.
The real fact is that, owing to
the absence of all vacancies, the
income of landlords is the highest
In history" he said.
He urged AVC'S 300 chapters to
campaign locally for municipal and
State emergency rent control
measures, pointing out that "the
powerful real estate lobby has an
nounced that it plans to camp on
the Capitol steps with its rent de-
control proposals"
Mr.. Roosevelt said the AVG would
back the Rayburn bill, which would
empower the Government to 90 di-
rectly into the housing business in
areas where the President de-
termined it was necessary.

Some tune ago when the company received a stop work order on sub marine building from the Navy and it seemed obvious that at least for the time being there would be very little Navy work, employment term- nations became the order of the day and men and women by the hundreds were let go each week for lack of work. The Union alert to it's responsibility to maintain as far as possible some measure of security for it's members went into immediate negotiations with the company on ways and means of securing at least temporarily work other than submarine work in order to keep fair amount of men em- ployed at the Boat Go. The Union well knew at the time that the un- employment problem in Eastern Connecticut was becoming serious one. The result of these negotia- tions was a wage survey in some 50 odd plants throughout New Eng land doing commercial work. After the survey, negotiations continued which resulted in not only an 18 cents per hour increase for govern ment shipbuilding retroactive to December 4, 1945 but also cOms mercial rate of wages for com. mercial work which the E. B. com pany was able to bid on and get which kept many hundreds of men
 employed who would otherwise have been terminated.
 Although the contract provided for another survey in September the Union was able to persuade the company that the rates should be adjusted at this time. The Unions argument was good enough to that the company acceded so the Unions request and adjusted the rates NOW instead of waiting until September This in spite of the fact that the commercial rates although lower than the shipbuilding rates still measured up to and compared favorably with rates for the same kind of work elsewhere. Now at the new rates through Union manage ment negotiations commercial rates will be at least as high as private shipbuilding rates.
 All in all it shows what intelligent labor relations between a union and a company that have mutual trust and respect for each other can and does accomplish. The men and wo- men of the Electric Boat Co. eau we'll be proud of their union and the way they are running it.

Woll Urges AFL Unions To Help Relieve Famine

Washington, D. CA plea urg- ing AFL members to make use of the Cooperative for American Re- mittances to Europe, otherwise known as CARE, was issued by Matthew Woll, vice president of the AFL, and is being sent to locals throughout the country.
 CARE is a non-profit venture through which individuals and or ganizations may order standard food packages" for delivery to des- ignated relatives or friends in cer- tain European countries. It was formed to relieve famine abroad. The food packages weigh approxi- mately 30 pounds and provide an average of more than 40,000 cal- ories.

 In addition to all this, negotia-' tions also provided that any em- ployees terminated during the month of June who would have been eligible for a vacation pay had they not been terminated be- fore July 1, will also receive their vacation pays in full along with the other employees.
 While the chronic squawkers and beefers are making themselves neurotic in their futile attempts to tear down the Union and its ac- comp1ishments for the employees of the Boat Co, the Union officers and representatives go along their quiet way settling grievances and reaping a harvest of benefits for the men and women they repre- sent. Daily and without any hue and cry, without any fuss or furore the Union representative continue to settle the indidivdual grievances that are bound to rise and period1- cal benefits that affect the whole yard find their way into the work CTS pockets and in their. working conditions. So, while the inteli- gent Union people in the yard know and appreciate the activities of their Union leaders in their be- half, let the gripers appeal to the yard richards, who will lend sympathetic but stupid ear. We don't think the Union wants them anyhow.
 The "SUB" editors know they are voicing the opinions of the en- tire Union membership when they say, THANKS, FELLOWS, FOR A JOB WE'LL DONE" to our Union officers and representatives.

Events, MT. Cleary declared, were forcing labor to take more active part in politics than ever be- fore.
 "Reactionary political forces in Connecticut, as elsewhere" he said, already are trying to take advan- tage of the confusion which their tools in Washington have brought about. The sabotage by certain Northern Republicans and South ern Democrats in Congress of eff fective full employment legislation and such measures as a decent minimum wage, a national health program and adequate housing, and their trucking to greedy business elements through their knifing of the OPA, naturally, has resulted in confusion. They now seek to place the blame for the condition which they have created upon others.
 "They blame Communists, for example. It is easier for them to cry Reds than to defend their own unholy records. AS a matter of fact, reactionary measures which impose greater burdens upon the people are grist to the mill of Communist agitators. Politicians in Washington, Hartford and i'll cities and towns who cater to the selfish few do more to create Communists than the Browders and the Fosters. When full employment exists and workers are earning wages on which they can live contentedly the Reds can make no headway."
 MT. Cleary backed up the warn ing to party leaders issued short time ago by President Timothy M. Collins of the Connecticut Fedora tion of Labor that they should con- slider carefully whether the records of candidates they back would stand the scrutiny of labor.
 We intend to use every possible means" he said, "to apprise the voters of the position of candi- dates on vital issues, and we do not think the people will allow themselves to be hoodwinked by false promises. .@
 Questionnaires, MT. Cleary added, would be sent to candidates to as- certain their views on important questions.
 Although much emphasis will be placed on national questions, the A. F. of L. leader said, the State Non-Partisan Political Committee will exert it's efforts to elect state legislators who will truly represent the citizens. "An end must be brought about to the condition whereby State Senators and Repre- sentatives go to the State Capitol
