AFL Teachers Register 72 New Local Chapters

 "The fact that teachers in nearly 400 cities and towns from coast to coast have now formed AFL locals is one of the most wholesome signs in Amer ican democracy.
 ''Despite heavy losses to the armed forces and to war induction, and despite the fact that thousands of teachers have been leaving the profession for increased income, the membership of the A. F. of T. has increased approximately 75 per cent since the beginning of World War III.
 "The international union has had a net gain of nearly 10000 members since Pearl Harbor. This figure re- presents one of the largest gains in membership-if not the largest among the white collar unions.
 ssThere are now A. F. of T. locals in all of the g largest cities in the Nation, with the exception of one city-HoustOn, Tex. There are also locals in approximately three fourths of the cities of the Nation, with populations of more than 1OO,- 900, and in some 300 cities and towns with less than 100000 popu- latiOn."

We Need More Social Security

WASHINGTON (FP) = Amer ica's social security system must be re-evaluated, Sen. Alexander Wiley (R, Wis., told the Senate April 2 as he introduced a resolution to create a 14-member joint committee on so- cial security.
 Higher standards are needed, Wiley said, 'in these years, when prices have gotten far out of line and the pur- chasing power of the dollar has de- clined." He urged other Republicans to support his proposal saying: Sure ly, if there is any single issue on which the Republican party or any party can gain the unyielding admira- ton of the American people, it is on the issue of promoting the security of our citizens in an insecure world"
 Wiley pointed to the present aver age payments to the blind under the Social Security Act, of $3367 per month, and only $5542 monthly to families with dependent children where the broadwinner has died.

 Brooklyn We'll, Too Many Forget

 Fare you well, Pea Ridge, wherever you are. You missed greatness by the small width of dingus called home plate. We will never know what would have happened if you'd ever got that ball acrsos. But this is a small flaw in the contentment of those few of us who remember you.
 Have change of mood, now.
 There was a fighter I shall never forget, and it was somewhere out there in Brooklyn that 1 saw him, too.
 The Yucatan Kid was a club fighter who beat bum or two in his day. He was fighting, this night in Dexter Park, a fellow named Pete Something, and it was fairly routine fight in which Pete just lasted. Maybe he got knocked out. It is hard to remember: it was half a dozen years ago and hot night in Brooklyn.
 There was nothing memorable about the fight itself, except that this Pete would get knocked down and he would get up again to take more punches. It was not smart of Pete. It wasn't his night and all he could gain was the distinction of going the route with this Yucatan Kid. He would not be the first to do that, either.
 That night, though, remains with me. It was something about the fear some visage of the Yucatan Kid that I cannot forget. He was middling fair fighter, neither good nor bad, and he would win as many as he lost, I guess. only saw him that once. But, sitting there at ringside, I was ap- palled at the ferocity of his face; the eyes glazed and glaring, an oversized head bobbing as he took an occasional punch, snarling as he hooked poor Pete down into the canvas again.
 If you know anybody who wants to be fighter, tell him never mind. Tell him to write me. Tell him it stinks. Tell him about the fearsome unknown Yucatan Kid out there punching a fellow named Pete into the resin on hot night in Brook lyn. It's dirty racket. That's why l remember it, suppose. know it.

Industrial War Looms If Wagner Act Is Amended
NLRB Official Warns United Labor Group
 Of Perils Ahead

Wichita, Kan. (LPA)-Before a big united labor rally here, John M. Houston, a member of the National Labor Relations Board, delivered an all-Out attack on anti-labOr bills pending in Congress.
 The mass meeting was sponsored by all branches of the trade union movement: AFL, CIO, Railroad BrOtherhoods, and the independent Int'l Association of Machinists.
 In addressing the rally, Houston was returning to his home state, from which he served in Congress for four terms and where he had been one of the states leading employers.
 Industrial War
 In particular, Houston assailed pro posals to cripple the Wagner Act. If the Wagner Act is thus tempered with" he warned, Eve are inviting industrial war;"
 Some of the bills to emasculate that act, he said, would restore the days when employers could freely fire and blacklist workers and smash unions. Such policies would lead to the most bitter and costly strife," he declared. Free men do not readily surrender basic rights-particular1y when they have enjoyed them for only 12 of the last 100 years (that is, the 12 years of the Wagner Act)
 ''Our history teaches us that men will fight for freedom to asso. ciate with their fellows, even in the face of criminal conspiracy laws. Our history teaches us fur ther that this has always been the cOstliest fght-in terms of both human and capital Iosses.''

 The only completely automatic machine thus far tested by Con- sumers Union, the Bendix, per- mits the user to deposit sOiIed clothes and soap in the machine, set it in motion and then go about her other business until ready to hang out her wash. It has important limitations, however. It must be bOlted to the floor, which is impos- sible in many apartments, and it uses more soap and hot water than the nOn-autOmatic machine in which the same sOapy water can be used for more than one batch. In addition, the washing ability of the Bendix is relatively low. although this is somewhat offset by the small amount of wear on clothes in the Bendix.
 In the non-automatic spinner-type washer, GU considered Easy 18S46 at $169.o6 acceptable, with cleaning abi1i- ty greater than average. In the wiring er-type, GU found Norge W17PA, $115.95 with pump, had the highest cleaning ability of all machines tested, with wear on clothes average. Black stone 130 AP, 0119.95 with pump, next on the acceptable list for wringer- type, had poorer cleaning ability than average but wear on clothes was less than average.

 Wolcott, whose name last spring stood for profiteering on OPA legis- lation, says now he is opposed to a blanket rent increase bill. He has given courteous attention to labor and con- sumner witnesses before his committee who argued for keeping rents down, when last session he didn't show bit of concern for anyone but businessmen Other members of his committee also have a somewhat changed attitude.

 His group voted on April 1 to re- port 109o blanket rent increase bill and said they would finish the measure the next day. But 24 hours later Vol colt told newsmen they had decided to put off action until April 16, "to give them time to null this thing over"
 Most of the House men, especially Wolcott and the COP leaders, wants to put across rent raise bill for which they and their party cannot be blamed. They think the people may be fooled by the Buck bill which will turn wrath on governors.

BAKED BEANS


 A large can of baked beans is not always better buy htan small can, Consumers Union found in tests of AZ brands. The economical housewife has to read labels and compare prices and weights to get the most for her money. Neither is there any economy in buying Grade C beans when Grade A are avail able. GU found that some products rated Grade C were more expensive than some which rated Grade A.
 Ann Page, 10f for 1 ID. 2 oz., was the least expensive of the Grade A New England style baked beans with pork; Friends, 12f for 1 1b., was next :; Baxter's finest, 23e for 1 ID. 12 oz., was third. Conquerer, % for 151z oz., was the most reasonable Grade A product of all the beans packed in tomato sauce with pork; Ann Page, 10f for 1 ID. 1 oz., was close second j; Coop Grade A, 14S for 1 ID. 5 oz,, was third Gibbs, Sc for 1 lb., was the best buy in Grade A vegetarian style canned beans; Ann Page, 10S for 1 ID. 1 oz., was again second; Van Camps, 15f for ID. oz., was third.

 The Mirro-Matic, which rated highest among the 10 pressure cookers tested and reported on in May l946, still rates first among Is cookers reported on in the cur rent issue of Consumer Reports. A pressure cooker, to be safe and convenient to use, should have long, insulated handles, simple sealing device, and should be de- signed to minimize danger of con- tact with hot metal.

In Egyptian Dispute
By the Assoeiofed Press

ernment sources said today that
Prime Minister Stain had assured
Foreign Secretary Bevin that Russia

Stain Sees No Conflict.

Britain's position in the Middle East
and in Egypt"
The source said Mr.. Stain de-
clared he did not believe Britain's
interests in those areas to be In
conflict with Russia's interests.
The informant said a. shift of
emphasis" was developing in
Britain's attitude toward some East

cially toward Poland. This shift
was reflected in the case of Poland

Murray Asks Veto
OF Portal Pay Bill
By the Associated Press

CIO President Philip Murray told
President Truman today the portal
pay bill passed by Congress would
Cripple" Federal wage-hour statutes.
Urging Mr.. Truman to veto the
measure, which cleared the House
and Senate last Thursday, Mr.. Muir
ray declared in letter:
'"The bill reflects typical respon-
siveness on the part of this Congress
to the pressures and demands. of
those employers who seek to evade
principles of fairness and decency
in their relations with their en-
ployes."
The bill would outlaw most of the
pending court claims, totaling near
ly $4,000, ,000,0 900, for pay for non
productive time workers spend un-
der direction of their employers IN
such activities as walking to their
stations.
Citing a provision, which would
require that such suits be filed with
in two years after the claim arises,
Mr.. Murray said:
What a howl of protest would
arise from the business community
If similar limitation were placed
on rights arising from other sta
tutes"-such as patent rights and
claims against the United States,
both enforceable for six years.
The CIO leader asserted that the
bill represents all of the hatred of
the working man and the wage earn
er, all of the hatred of social prog
ress and decent standards of living
which has unfortunately character
lied so many members of this Con-
gress."
