Gated in a statement from Chi

Sen. Francis Myers ID. Pa)
called for a special session OF
Congress in November to act on
price controls as well as foreign
financial and other aid.
COP Oppose Control
On the other hand, the Re-
publicans who are heading three
price investigating committees
which begin hearings in the east
and midwest this month, are
confident that a return to price
controls is not the answer.
Despite the reluctance OF
manufacturers, wholesalers and
retailers to appear before the
price inquiries, which Will IN

spokesmen prepared with facts

are not available nationally, but
Congressional staff members re-
port that AFL and independent
union requests to be heard are

RieVe Advises
No Bird Porfy

SARATOGA SPRlNGS, N. I
September 10 (LPA) - Presi-
dent Emil Rieve, of the Textile
Workers Union-CIO, advised the
Eighth New York State CIC
Convention here asst week not to
concern itself at the present
time with formation OF a third
party but to concentrate electoral
efforts on defeating 112 reac.
tionaries now in Congress.
Establishment of a third party
for 1948 would virtually assure
the presidential election of such
an anti.labor Republican as Gov.
Thomas Dewey or Sen. Robert
Taft, (R., Ohio), Rieve said.
Earlier the executive council
by margin of four TO one voted
down a resolution TO withhold
endorsement of the American
Labor Party. Supported by the
right wing, which argued that
the state organization should not
tie itself to any political party,
the resolution was repeatedly
backed by delegates from the
United Steelworkers, Unite d
Railroad Workers, Brewe
Workers. Utility Workers, Oil
Workers, Textile Workers, and
the Retail, Wholesale & Depart.
ment Store Workers.
The board condemned both
Taft and Dewey as anti.labor and
called upon both the governor
and the state legislature to urge
Congressional repeal of the Taft
Hartley law.
Another dispute between the
left and right wings centered on
the conventions foreign policy
resolution with the left wingers
at first seeking condemnation of
the Truman Doctrine and then
deciding to leave II to the CIO
convention starting Oct. l3.

WAS HING TON, Sept. II
(LPA) - Factory hiring rates
thruout the country in July
dropped to the lowest point for
any July since 1910, the Labor
Department reported last week.
The rate slipped from 55 to 48
for every 1000 employees on the
payroll in July.
The hiring rate droppe d
sharply in the durable goods
industries, with all but two of
the major industry groups re-

Justice Dept. Quiet
The Justice Department which
admittedly has collected a spe-
cial staff for the investigation
and prosecution of the Taft
Hartley violations, has not ut
tered a word nor made a move,
despite the deliberate challenge
to the law thrown out by all sec
tions of organized labor in two
Congressional elections in Mary.
land and Pennsylvania.
Meanwhile, other congressman
who opposed the anti-labor law
expressed amusement at the be.
lated discovery by some of its
proponents that the Act gives
unprecedented aid and comfort
to Communists in unions.
They pointed out that unwit.
tingly the provision governing
the union shop prohibits unions
that bar Communists from ex-
pelling them from the union.
The law declares that under the
union shop union may expel q
member only if he refuses to
pay dues or assessments. Very
clearly" said one labor lawyer,
this provides job security for
Communists, but also invades
the right of a union to expel
Communists for disruption, dual
unionism or any other reason.

Housing Crisis
Revives Bottle

ASHING TON, Sept. Il
LPA)-Members of the Joint
Congressional Committee to In
vestigate Housing 6 had their
"a-b-c" lessons in the intricacieS
of the building industry last
week when they heard, from the
top government housing experts
that:
The u. S. needs about 1900
900 new homes a year; despite
this, there are only about
100000 families able to pay
current prices for homes, out oi
the 100000 needing homes
building codes, building prac.
tices, and the BODYBUILDING in.
dustry's pricing policies are al
in need of drastic repair.
Contradicting the claims oi
homebuilders and the real estate
lobby, the federal experts esti-
mated that about 100000 homes
will be started this year - q
number far short of the needs OF
veterans and others hunting q
place to live.
Preliminary questioning at the
first committee session by Vice.
Chairman Jose ph Mccarthy
(R., Wis., indicated that the
committee is not yet persuaded
by evious Congressional
studies conducted over a several
year period that an overall bill
would be the solution, and tha'

which has increased in price

ing codes were also the subject
of questions to the government
men.
Indication of the shoddy iot
being done by homebuilders who
are out to pluck the highest
possible profits out of the pres.
ent market was seen in the
warning from Veterns Admins

PRINCETON (LPA) - Public
confidence in a Republican vic.
tory in 1948 has dwindled tc
little more than half of what il
was last December, according tc
the Gallup Poll. Since Feb. 2
the poll has charted a comeback
of President Truman and the
Democratic Party to public fav.

of Wisconsin, has been set up.
LaFollette, along with the labor
men, is believed to be much
more concerned about taking
drastic steps-which might tread
on the toes of heavy industry
and spectators in farm futures
to allocate materials needed
to set Europe on its feet.
Controls Are Headache
\ Hartman frankly indicated
that he considered even the
present export controls head
ache" and stated that the aim
of the Administration is re-
turn ito "normalcy" in world
trade as soon as possible.
Chester Davis, ultra-conserva-
tive farm bloc leader, jumped
the traces with the only blunt
statement coming from the COM
mittee room.
Davis, obviously frightened
by the prospects of bumper
U. S. grain crop, sky-high prices
for foods, and the dangers of
unmanageable surpluses in fu-
ture years, said: "It may be
necessary to reinstate govern
mental controls on food" Har-
riman interrupted Davis in an
annoyed tone to say, You're
speaking for yourself?" Davis
agreed.
Alternative Stated
An alternative to government
food controls, Davis indicated,
would be a drive to get house
wives to cut down on their meat
buying, thus eventually causing
meat prices to drop, and at some
future time making it more
profitable to sell wheat rather
than feed it to livestock.
Any chance that the European
nations might get appreciable
quantities of food in the U. S.
seemed very slight unless price
controls are Reconstructed. Wheat
was up to all-time highs on the
Chicago market last week. Corn
and oats also broke to new all
time highs in Chicago, mostly as
the result of speculative buying
At the c h ic a G o stockyards,
choice steers brought S35.25 per
hundred pounds, another all
time high.
The National Federation of
Millers warned that bread prices
would rise as a result of the
wheat cost rise. Eggs and butter
at dollar-a-dozen and dollar-a-
pound prices were already a
reality on many grocery count
ers in big cities, including New
York and Los Angeles.

NAM Economy
Is Refuted

WASHINGTON, Sept. II
IPA)-Attempts by spokes-
men of the National Associa-
ton of Manufacturers and
the United States Chamber of
Commerce to blame high prices
on labor's wage gains backfired
last week in a nationwide broad
cast in which AFL and CIO Of
ficialS debated big business rep
reSentatives.
CIO Seer tary- Treasurer
James Carey and AFL Econom-
lis Boris 'Shishkin both contend
ed that the prospects for indus
trial peace were diminished
when the NAM and c of c sue
ceeded in writing and enacting
the Taft-Hartley law.
Said Carey: '"The MANS pro-
gram announced last year in
cluded elimination of price con- /.
trolls, limitation of workers
rights and industry control of
government. That program is in
full force and effect todav. II
has been achieved by the great
est smear campaign in history,
based on misinformation and
directed at government en-
ployes, union leaders, and any
other group that questioned the
divine rights of American man
agement.
Hysteria Is Created
Public hysteria," Carey con-
tinued, "has been ere lated
through a spurious indictment
of labor which will not stand up
in the face of the highest pro-
duction levels in history and the
highest level of prices that have
been imposed on consumers by
A m n management. Con-
gress, like the people, has been
misled by this smear campaign
into carrying out the dictates of
those who are consistently in
opposition to the dignity of
labor"
Shishkin maintained that 1.-THE
Taft Hartley law will wreck the
peace in key industries where it
has been kept inviolate for many
years. Employers agree that in
dustrial peace cannot be kept by
legislation. Compulsion will not
work in a democracy. To the ex-
tent that peace is kept in indus
try by force, it will only mean
the piling up of bitterness and
unrest, bred by injustice, which
eventually is bound to break
out with greater violence, in
political form.
Management, now arm me d
against labor with the Taft
Hartley blunderbuss gun, will
do WELL" Shishkin concluded,
ito lay it aside, before it ex-
plodes in its face, and get busy
building a firm foundation for
peaceful e / tions by direct
agreement with unions.

Whiteman's Gershwin Program

solo moments where the artistry of
a performer like Wild could be en-

A chorus of some dozen singers
took part in the performance Of
the Rhapsody" but it also could
hardly be heard over the volume of
sound that came from Mr.. White
mans lusty players. The position
of the pianist at the left of the
orchestra and of the chorus at the
extreme right may have had some
thing to do with the lack of balance,
although there was plenty of ampli-
fication for each. Mr. Thompson
was heard In Somebody Loves Me-

excerpts with which the program

of the characteristics of the Gersh-

brought something new to this coun-
try's musical fare. Ten years ago
Whiteman was guest conductor OF
the National Symphony Orchestra
and the year preceding Gershwin
appeared in the dual role of conduc-
tor and piano soloist. He played his
own Concerto in F" which, together
with the Rhapsody In Blue" was
offered last night by the brilliant
young pianist, Earl Wild.
The concert had the impetus OF
Whiteman's showmansfip which in
short time, with the soloists intro
duced to the audience by their first
names and informal asides by the
maestro, established an atmosphere
of intimacy. It was difficult to find
any empty seats in the hall and it
