Money Declined by Red Cross

Money Declined by Red Cross
To the Editor OF The Star:
The American Red Cross has come
to assume quasi-public, quasi-ofhcial
position in the United States, to an ex-
zation on the national scene ever has
attained. Because of that position, it
is incumbent on the officials who oper-
ate the Red Cross to conduct its affairs
as a charitable organization, thankful
for all gifts, large or small, which per-
NIT it to carry on it's work, and spurn-
ing none except those which, by reason
of conditions attached, would impede
its work. The Red Cross owes this duty
to its many benefciaries.
1t is presumptuous and arrogant on
the part of Red Gross officials even to
attempt to justify its refusal of the
$350,O0O offered by the so-called Film
Industry Charities Committee" because
1t is less than one-half of per cent of
its 1947 goal. 1t does not appear that
Red Cross was required to participate"
in the committees fund-raising cam
paign, which was stated to be the serious
objection by Red Cross officials; nor
does it appear that acceptance of the
gift would have precluded the 1947
Red Cross money raising campaign
among film workers. Is the Red Gross
adverse to giving credit to others in
such large doses? E..
A lot of would-be contributors will
undoubtedly feel that Red Cross does
not need their $40, or $5, or ST., If it
can afford to spurn $350,000 in such
high-handed manner. This will be un-
fortunate, because Red Cross never can
get enough money to do all the good it is
capable Of doing, If its bureaucratic ma
tional officials would only let it.

Bonus Benefits Equal?


The CT bill is costing the taxpayers
great amount o. money but a ma
jority OF the non-veterans feel that the
cost is small compared to the debt owed
the fighting men of the country.
It is understood that present financial
benefits under the CT bill will not be
deducted from any future bonus. To the
vet receiving little or no financial aid
from the bill this seems unfair.
Joe Dokes was member of the 1920
club. After serving his full member
ship, he went to school for few years.
After graduating, he received on-the-
job-training for a period Of time. Joe
tells me that he will also get several
thousands of dollars if certain pro-
posed bonus plan goes through. (Joe
can do these things)
Under the CT bill only one-third of
the veterans now benefit. Under a
bonus plan all could benefit; that is,
benefit equally if any past financial as
sistance under the CT bill were de-
Quoted from the individuals bonus.

MAcHInlSTS WIN nigh
WEST COAST PAY IN
new CONTRACT

Los Observation-Disclosures Of the

approved a new two-year contract
here which they said makes them the
highest paid aircraft employees on the
west coast.
The precedent-setting pact's aver
age wage Of S1.53 per hour puts Lock
heed workers 10 cents ahead of any
other coastal plane production en-
ployes and Is cents to Is cents above
Lockheed's southern California com
petition.
Top pay rates go as high as sos
per hour, according to Lodge 121
President Ivan Deach Jr. 1t is the first
contract, he said, in which Lockheed
has granted any form OF union secur-
ity. The agreement provides that all
covered employees must conform to the
bylaws Of the union in order to hold
their jobs.
Other pact provisions include: six
paid holidays. two-week vacations for
more than so per cent of the workers,
G-days paid sick leave, seniority pro-

MONTANA FARMERS TO
LOSE CROP PREMIUMS

The economy drive in congress. as
evidenced by the recommendations of
the subcommittee on appropriations,
has proposed Il Go per cent slash in
conservation funds for Triple A for
1917 and plans no funds at all for 1919.
The loss of incentive payments to
farmers for conservation practices
will. no doubt. result in al increase
in our soil losses through erosion. The
loss at present is approximately one
half million acres annually.
Crop Insurance Scheduled To Go
The same penny-pinching sub-com-
mittee has recommended that the
crop insurance program be curtailed
and limited to an experimental basis.
Crop Insurance Works In Montana
Federal crop insurance is covering
about 675.000 acres Of Montana
wheat land this year as compared
with about 482. 900 last year. Acre
age estimates on flax coverage
aren't available but the increase in
applications from AZ last year to 744
this year indicates great expansion.
Coverage Of wheat this year extends
to about 10000 farms in 2e counties
in 1916. New counties in the insur-
ance program are Saltwater, JEFF
ferson. Richland, and the two which
are trying out with an area cover
age type Of insurance, Roosevelt
and Prairie.
The loss Of the insurance program
in Montana will be particularly disap'
pointing to those many farmers who
have carried continuous insurance for
five consecutive crop years without
losses since they are now eligible for
a reduction of 10 per cent in premium
rates. Furthermore, many Montana
farmers have attained the goal where
paid-in premiums equal the current
years insured coverage which entities
them to so per cent reduction in prem
ium.
Montana farmers who have attain
ed or who are about to attain this OBJ
jwective will not be pleased to fine
their earned security jerked away from
them.

~ OOtIuueu from hUkC OuCb
ing World War /. output per manhour
in the manufacturing industries
jumped 1870 a year in the three years
from 1919 to 1922.
There is every reason to believe that
the rise in productivity this time will
be even greater thar after World War
/. Last year industry spent $12 billion
for new machinery and equipment.
This year such expenditures will run
about $14 billion. AS new equipment
is installed, less efficient machines /
replaced and scrapped. The result, as
the Journal Of Commerce reports is,
that industrial productivity will reg
lister major gains over the next IL
months"
No. the problem is not inadequate
productivity, but what is being done
with greater production power Of the
workers today. Instead of this great
er output being used to bolster pur-
chasing power through lower prices
and higher wages. it + being 0 n
verted into super-profits that threaten
to leave us all flat on our backs in
the coming bust.
A past chapter in the productivity
story bears a little repeating. From
1923 to 1929 output per mar hour rose
about 50f,. But workers hourly
wages advanced only slightly and
prices fell hardly at all. while profits
scared to new records.
1t all added up to the Great Depres
sion Of l929-1933. Sound familiar?

Patman resolution to print the Library
Of Congress- booklet "Fascism III Ac-
ton" as a House document.
Marking the first time within mem
DRY that the group has baked at print

incident was started last year when
Rep. Wright Patman ID. Texas ask
ed the library to draw up a short his
tory of the a fascist forces took
power in Germany. Italy. Japan and
Spain. The American people should
have such a document TO know how to
recognize fascist symptoms. he main

After months Of delay. the commit
tee early in June held unprecedented
hearings on the Patman resolution to
print the study, al which Rep. Fred

the booklet. Discussing fascism
would help communism. he claimed. OBJ

fascist and %resenting suggestions that
international cartel ties aided the
growth Of fascism.
The committee decision, Chairman
Karl NJ. LeCompt r., Ia said, is a
compromise which may or may no re-
suit in printing the booklet. Busbey,
with help from Rep. Robert J. Corbett

man and the library research staff to
remove references to Franco and to
big business from the study, but Pat
man stood firm.
The next move will be up to the

Mr.. Washburn asserted that in such a

action can save the nation from plung-

Drastic, nationwide price slashes up

commended, on retail, wholesale and

Mr.. Washburn placed full respon-
