Here's Answer To
 Equal Rights"

Washington (LPA)-A bipartisan bill declaring it federal policy not to discriminate against women was in- troduced last week with the support of organized labor, and such promi- nent women as Mrs. Eleanor Roose- welt, and Mrs. Thomas McCal1ister and Miss Mary Martin former heads of the women's activities of the Demo cratic and Republican Natl Commit tees.
 It was understood that all present women members of Congress favor the bill whose chief sponsors in the Senate are Robert A. Taft (R., Ohio) Robert F. Wagner (D., ND, liar ley M. Kilgore O., w. Va.) and J. H. McGrath (D., RID.
 The bill would, first, make it federal policy to forbid distinctions because of sex except such a reasonable iusti- fled by differences in physical struc- ture, biological or social function" A commission to study the economic, civil, social and political status of women, and the federal and local bar riers to equality, would be set up to advise on new legislation.

Rent Controls
 Still Hanging
 By Thin Thread
Organized Labor Hopes To Block Death By Star
 vation" Measure

Washington (LPA)-The fate of the rent control program was still in doubt this week, as Congress has continued its slashing of the pres. ent program.
 Last week, the House voted, over whelmingly, to refuse OPA's request for a $5,900,O0O deficiency appropria- tion to carry the rent control program through June 30, but also voted to or der the agency to return an additional $9,000,O00 to the Treasury If the Sen ate passes this death by starvation measure, the rent control program will end for the lack of funds.
 President Truman, asked at last weeks press conference if he plan. ned any last-minute action to rescue the agency, indicated that he would cross that bridge when he came to it. Max McCulloch, chief of what remains of OPA, has indicated that he will continue all operations un. til Congress tells him not to.
 Meanwhile, Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, administrator of the Office of Temporary Controls which includes OPA, has asked the Labor Policy Committee of OPA to continue to ad- wise the agency. Labor spokesmen who make up the committee have been very active in the intra-agency fight to keer the rent control program alive.

Green Urges US. Lift Immigration
 Ban Immediately
Says This Country Can Set Good Example For
 Great Britain

NEW YORK-(FP)-The US. should admit between 100000 and GOO, ,OOO European refugees to help solve the displaced persons problem and to set an example for Great Britain, AFL Pres. William Green declared here this week.
 Green, speaking at a dinner in his honor by the labor division of the American ORT Federation, said the entry could be simply arranged under immigration quotas that went unused during the war.
 Such an example, he said, might help prevail upon British leaders to permit unrestricted Jewish immi. grafton into Palestine. He declared there ''is only one answer to the heavy problem of the displaced Jews of Europe. It can be summed up in two words-Palestine and America.''
 Green pledged in the name of the entire AFL membership that if Britain established Palestine as Jewish homeland, she could count on the US and other free nations to back her up 'in any eventualities"
 Proceeds of the dinner went to sup port the ORT's program of trade schools, farm projects and workshops for Jewish refugees and displaced persons.

Detroit Teachers Await Action By Education Board

DETROIT-(FP)-Its up to the Detroit board of education now while the days tick off until March "A when the 30-day strike notice filed by the Detroit Federation of Teachers (AFL) with the state board of media tion expires.
 Fortified by practically universal support from all unions in town the teachers, who voted 2H to l by se- cret ballot for a strike as last re- sort to get their $50 a month raise, are waiting for the school boards next move. The board voted a $26.5O a month raise after the teachers helped to get state con- stitutional amendment passed giv- ing schools sixth of the state sales tax.
 All Detroit city employees except teachers got 15@o raise last year.
 Union men and women would enjoy walking a picket line in front of schoolhouses with union teachers, they say. The teachers suspect that the example of a dignifed whiteco11ared union on strike would enhance the re- spectability of shop and factory stop pages when those become necessary.

IB.E.W. Votes On Reorganization

Washington (LPA)-A referendum has been started among the 385,000 members of the AFL International Brotherhod of Electrical Workers on Ia proposal for reorganizing and en- larging the official family" setup of the union.
 The proposal was drafted by joint committee of the Brotherhood's execu- tive council and its 10 vice-presidents, in compliance with instructions from the unions convention held last Sep tember in San Francisco.
 Under the plan, the number of vice presidents will be increased from 10 to 12, and the areas they are assigned to will be made more compact. The executive council will remain a Oman body, but the geographical represen- tation of each will be altered
 President Dan w. Tracy declared the reorganization will enable the vice presidents and the Brotherhood to function more efficiently and give bet ter service to our fast-growing mem- bership."

Congress- Race
 For Anti-Labor
 Laws Nears End
Unless Local Unions Act At Once The Outlook Is
 Very Bad

Washington (LPA) = Labor looked in vain this week for a bright spot in the Congressional rush for union-wrecking legislation.
 The House Labor Committee, af- ter hearing scores of uniOn-haters from the ranks of Congress and industry-was expected to write such a vicious anti-labor bill that liberal members now feel com pelled to write minority report.
 Testimony of labor leaders before both House and Senate Committees failed to deter the mad rush of Repub- licanS union-haters to have legislation enacted by April. Labor's ominous prospects were emphasized by:
 l-Sen. Wayne Morse (R., Ore. long counted a friend of or ganized labor finally surrendered to the hysteria and announced that ''If I have to make a choice between no legislation and legislation which goes to far, I'll vote for legislation which goes too far."
 2-Although the porta1-to-porta1 pay issue faded out of the nations headlines, the Judiciary Committee ap- proved a bill practically out1awing all portal claims.
 NAM ON THE JOB
 The National Association of Manufacturers had its wish-back- ed by heavily financed lobbying and expensive propaganda in the daily press-that the Fair Labor Standards Act be drastically amend ed. The Judiciary Committees bill would permit employers who viO- late the law to offer as defense the contention that they acted in ''gOOd faith' when they broke the law. The bill extended employers ''good ~taith" when they broke the law. The bill extended employers ''good faith'' claims to the Walsh Healey and BacOn-Davis Acts which provide for certain labor standards under government con- tracts.
 Its cinch," said Rep. Gerald w. Landis (R., Ind.) that the House La Dor Committee will push through at least nine major changes in existing labor laws.
 There was only one question re- maining as the hearing drew closer to conclusion: To what extent will the mllder Senate version modify the more extreme House bill?

LAM. Goes To Bat For Labor Dept.

Washington (LPA)-The Int'l As sociation of Machinists charged last week that House Appropriations Subcommittee, spearheaded by Rep. Frank Keefe (R., Wis.) is plotting mayhem" on the Labor Dept by cut ting its appropriation by $10,800,000
 The scheme, according to The Ma cltinist, weekly publication of the LAM, lis not merely directed at re- ducing the amount of funds to the Labor Dept but at so voting funds as to force reorganization of the de- partment and the wiping out entirely of certain bureaus and divisions which have given long and honorable and highly useful services to the American people.
