Labor Daily

INDIANAPOLIS, Oct. 8 =
.GPA) - A renewed call for a
national daily labor paper was
sounded last week by Second
Vice-president Elmer Brown;
of the International Topographic
cal Union-AFL.
"The need for a daily labor
press grows with each minute,
declared Brown writing in his
column in the Typographical
Journal. "The failure or unwill-
ingness of a section of our big
daily newspapers to fairly re-
port labor news and their con-
tinued apologies for the Taft
Hartley law dilute the freedom
of the press and lay all our
American newspapers open to
attack as the voice of reaction" "
The ITU leader said he ad-
vocated a daily labor paper
which would emphasize labor
news but report events fairly
and not make labor news into
propaganda or editorials. I'VE
ought to have a labor press
which would put to shame some
of our dailies, busily propagan-
dizing through colored news
stories and emphasis of news,
he continued.
May Destroy Freedom
"We had better get busy pro-
noting such a labor press or the
freedom of press, a necessary
pillar of freedom and demo
cracy, may be destroyed because
the American people are no
longer excited when someone
wants to control the daily press.
"The American people have
become apathetic about defend.
ing the freedom of the press,
Brown declared, because they
seriously doubt that the big
dailies fairly and truthfully re-
port the news. They cannot
help but note that the press is
usually on the side of big bust
ness and monopoly and against
the little people who work for
a living.
"The passing of Ochs, Scripps,
Pulitzer and their school of
fre d ON loving publishers, "
Brown concluded, "has left a
void in the American press not
filled by their successors, who
have their ears tuned to the cash
register instead of to the voice
of the people"

Lumber Price Probe
By the Asseeioted Press

Senator Mccarthy, Republican, OF
Wisconsin said today that lumber
prices "have skyrocketed higher
than any other building material,
and Senate House committee has
assigned two investigators ito see
what can be done about it.
He was asked about exceptions
taken by the Southern Wholesale
Lumber Association to what 1t
termed sever criticism" from Sena-
tor Mccarthy of lumber dealers. The
Senator is vice chairman of the joint
congressional committee .investigat-
ing housing.
Robert F. Darrah, secretary-man-
ager of the association, disclosed at
Birmingham, Ala, last night that
the association has written the COM
mittee asking a chance to appear
before it and reply to an assertion
by Senator Mccarthy that Congress
might have to crack down" on
profits of middlemen in the lum-
ber business.
Senator Mccarthy, when making
that statement several weeks ago,
said lumber costs were up 169 per
cent.
Mr.. Darrah said Senator Nc
Carthy was wrong - the lumber
prices were up more than that. Some
of the reasons, he said, are that
common labor costs have risen from
$50 to IS to IS q day and pine
timber costs from 1896 . thousand

China Reds Reported
In Manchurian PORT
" the Asseeiossd Press

SHANGHAI, Oct. 9.-Pro-govern-
ment press dispatches said today
that Chinese Communists have
broken into Yingkow and severe
street fighting Is raging in that
Manchurian port.
The loss of Yingkow would leave
the government only one port in
Manchuria, Hulutao, to the west,
and 1t has little value unless the
Communists are cleared from the
railway to Mukden.
The Communists, striking widely
throughout government-held areas
of Manchuria' against communica-
tion lines and cities, fought into the
suburbs of Yingkow several days
ago.
Reports reaching Peiping said
the Communists broke into Ying-
kow after an artillery lombard
ment. Warplanes supported govern
ment defenders, but the garrison
was depicted as losing ground.
The government announced its
forces had cleared the Tientsin-
Mukden railway from the Great
Wall to Chinhsien, 100 miles to the
Northeast. Hulutao is linked to this
railway by a spur line.
To the north, Communist as
sault in force against Tiehling, 40
miles northeast of Mukden, on the
badly damaged railroad to Chang
chun, was reported under way.

A two-month holiday from the
distilling of liquor to save up
ward of 100000 bushels of
grain for Europe was in prospect
today, beginning about October
Is.
Joseph A. Engelhard of Louis

the date for the shutdown asked by
President Truman and his Citizens
Food Committee.
Mr.. Engelhard told reporter the
switches cannot be pulled overnight
but that "it could be done smoothly"
in two or three weeks.
MY guess would be around the
25th," he said.

tee chairman, turns his attention

Meeting in Chicago Tomorrow.
Brewing industry representatives
will meet in Chicago tomorrow to
discuss possible savings. and will
give Mr.. Luckman their answer
probably early next week.
Mr.. Luckman said he has no
doubt that the liquor industry will
get together on the shutdown, de-
spite some uncertainty which de-
veloped at a conference on the
plan yesterday. A number of in
dustry officials concurred.
This was what happened at the
conference:
Thirty mine companies were rep
resented. After a two and one-half
hour discussion, 18 voted In favor of
the shutdown. The remaining 81
firms abstained from voting, saying
they wanted to confer further with
their directors or stockholders.

distilleries were represented, but he
refused to say how any individual
company voted.

reports of such a sale had been
withheld pending final decision on
a new public relations policy gov
erning official disclosure of such

Britain sold ssO,ooo,oO0 in gold

The September gold sale came
after the $400, 100000 balance Of
Britain's dollar loan from America
was frozen by British American
agreement.
The freezing followed Britain's
announcement that she could no

of the loan agreement. Under that

The transaction normally would not
