ReoIfor Lobby
Probe Demanded

WASHINGTON. July 9th -
LPA) - A sweeping investiga'
ton of the real estate lobby
was demanded in a resolution
introduced by Sen. Glen Taylor
ID, Idaho) last week, the day
after President Truman reluct-
antly signed the so-called rent
control bill.
Investigation of "the activi-
ties, connections, methods and
financing of all organizations
and groups, commonly known
as the real estate lobby" is pro
posed by Taylor.
Rent boosts running as high
as 800 per cent for accomoda-
tions that were removed from
controls we're reported within
"a hours after the bill became
law. Thousands of Is per cent
voluntary" rent boosts were
reported from every big city.
Fifteen percent boosts are not
required under the new law;
they can be charged only when
landlord and tenant agree to a
lease running at least until
Dec. 81, 1948. No tenant can be
evicted solely for refusing to
sign such a lease.

Van Arkel and Associate Gen
eral Counsel Glushien. In his let
ter of resignation last week
Glushiem declared, Like Gen
eral Counsel Van Arkel, l have
serious doubts concerning the
wisdom, the fairness, and the
practicability of the Taft Hartley
Act"

said that "Under the circum-
stances, l believe that the Presi-
dent should be in a position to

Defended BY Unions
Warren was defended strongly
by unionists when COP leaders,
headed by Rep. Frank B. Keefe
(R., Wis., attempted to clip the
Labor Department budget on
the grounds that Warren once
belonged to a Washington Book
shop that was held to be a Com
munist-front organization by the
House Un-American Activities
Committee.
Meanwhile Truman faces a
tricky problem in naming the
head of the new Cancellation
Service and two new members
of the NLRB provided for in the
new law. Also he must ap-
point, subject to Congressional
approval, a general counsel for
the NLRB whose powers, ac-
.cording to pro-labor Senators,
would amount to a labor car. !"

COP Sales Tax
PIun Plotted

WASHINGTON, July 9 (LPA)
The COP high command still
has hopes of pushing through g
"rob-the-poor" tax bill this ses
sion and possibly a sales tax, il
was disclosed last week.
President Truman's veto of
the Republican tax program did
not deter its author Rep. Harold
Knutson (R., Mimi, from ap-
pointing a 11-man special Tax
Study Committee comprising
chiefly big business representa-
tives. Behind closed doors the
committee is expected to work
out a plan for Knutson which
would shift any tax reduction
from the higher income brackets
to the nations working men and
women and impose a sales tax.
First encouragement for the
COP plan came when the House
Ways & Means Committee ap-
proved the original Knutson bill
with single change in date. In
stead of becoming effective this
as the original bill pro-
vided, the new law would make
the tax cuts effective next
January.

cI0 Urges New
Minimum Woue

WASHINGTON, July 9 (LPA)
"A group of clearly puzzled
Congressman, who had been
spoon-fed large quantities of
NAM propaganda, last week
learned from two CIO witnesses
the reason that organized labor
wants a rise in minimum wages
to Csc Immediately, and to 75c
in two years.
One question, asked over and
over again, was why do you
use the figure CSC. Why mott "a
as the Republican members pr
pose, or a higher amount" said
research Director Sol Barkin of
the Textile Union Workers of
America, who spoke for the
CIO, This is what is politically
possible.
The textile union official cited
figures to prove that even Csc is
too low. "The lowest budget de-
vised by American authorities is
the emergency subsistence budg-
ct devised by WPA authorities
in 1898. 1t now requires at least
92.9c income for 1000 hours per
year to keep a family of four at
an emergency level" Barkin
said.
COP officials on the Senate
side have shown no eagerness to
push the wage minimum bill
through, but the House is ex.
pected to have on the floor a
Republican-approved m ure
raising the minimum from the
present 40c level to soc before
the end of July.
Barkin also exploded the
myth that it costs less to live in
the south than in the north, cit
ing both employer-organization
and government studies, which
confirm the unions independent
findings that many southern
towns have higher living costs
than many northern communi-
ties.
Several Congressman, includ-
ing Reps. George MacKinnon
(R., Mimi and o. c. Fisher
3D., Tex were incredulous.

the fact that in the Senate 20
Democrats voted to override the
veto and in The House 106
Democrats voted with the 225
Republicans to override.
Warn Employers
The Wall Street Journal, TAX
ing a second glance at the new
law, declared editorially that
evidently it will take a lot of
litigation to determine which
provisions of the Taft Hartley
law are constitutional and which
are not" Other big business and
industry groups were also wor-
ried and warned employers
against rushing to the courts
with any unfair labor practices
case which could provide unions
the opening case for which they
are waiting.
Meanwhile both AFL and CIO
unions resolved not to incorpo-
rate no-strike clauses in any fu-
ture contracts. Many AFL and
CIO unions decided not to "do
business" with the expanded
NLRB which the Taft Hartley
law limits in its powers and
functions. Union refusal to rec
ognize the Taft-Hartley version
of the NLRB provides an oppor-
tunity for union-wrecking en-
ployers to test whether they can
o perate successfully without
traditional grievance machinery
and whether they can afford to
risk strikes and slowdowns dur
ing a crucially competitive
period.

April Dividends Up

WASHINGTON (LPA) -
Publicly announced cash divi-

$388,900,000, an increase of
1917 over the previous April.
Only about so per cent of U. S.

ments public. During the first
quarter of 1947, textile and
leather firms increased divi-
dend payments $50 over 1916,
chemicals payments rose 43 20
The only decline in manufactur-
ing dividends was 25 per cent

Truman, speaking to an audi

Travis, who became president

report declared that sit is just
impossible to prevent friction
and confusion in an interna-

dent one who has been expelled
by another union of the ClO. :
The committee unanimously
recommended that the MMSW
board have Travis resign or re-
move him from office, and also
that an administrator be ap-
pointed by Murray to conduct
the unions affairs.
These recommendations were
rejected by the MMSW execu-
tive board and the controversy
will be presented to the ClO
convention to be held in Boston
in October. The problem also
involves c harters issued to
nearly 10000 seeding MMSW

board rejected the committees
recommendation that the char
ters be revoked when it became
clear that the MMSW board
would not remove Travis nor
submit to an administrator.
The committee report was

Air Show Given by 66fh Squadron of 57th Fighter
 Group Is Fourth Thriller

The Air Show, given by the 66th Sqaudron of the 57th Fighter Group, was the highlight of Juneau's Fourth to many of the residents.
 Twelve sleek P-51s arrived from Anchorage's Elmendorf Field last Wednesday to give the people of Juneau a picture of the might of the U. S. Air Forces
 Pilots of the speedy and powerful craft were Majors J. A. Wilson and A. s. Kelly, Captains T. V. Gibson and J. F. Stroud, and Lieutenants M. A. Bourland, w. R. King, P J. Merceir, E. F. Williams, J. c. Neill, E. E. Bickerstaff, T. L. Dean and H. H. Hipsack. Flight leader of the group was Major A. s. Kelly.
 The ships went aloft at 5 o'clock on the afternoon of the Fourth from the local airport and came over Juneau in combat formations, flights in trio. They oircled in flights lines abreast, coming over in a squadron echelon. They then climb ed and peeled off in simulated dive bombing runs.
 They reformed to flights in trio and showed their combat experience in individual acrobatics.
 The acrobatic team, led by Capt. Joe Stroud. then performed beau- tifully with immelmans, loops cuban eights. barrel-rolls and dips They went up to 5000 feet coming down as low as 50 feet above the water. The ships then fell into formation and flew back to the air field where they put on another show for the residents of the high way. Their show lasted one hour and they came down at ocloo( with the people of Juneau very much thrilled and impressed with the skill and daring of our boys of the Air Force.
 Thanks is given to these men and also to their ground crew, who came down in a CAT transport, a Boeing B-l7 Flying Fortress, aerial photographer Pfc Donald Eldred and the other pilots in the group
 The air fleet circled over Juneau late Saturday afternoon on the re- turn to Elmendorf Field, the boys giving Juneau parting salute fol the great time they had and express ing the most profound round oi thanks for the genial hospitality.
 Enroute to Elmendorf Field, the course was changed to give thrill to the little lonely daughter of Will liam Gregory. lighthouse keeper or Sentinel Island. Major Kelly re- ceived word from Gregory asking the fleet pass over the island anc the request was granted with pleasure.
