AndrewMayPleads Not Guilty
(By William E. Arboqastl

WASHINGTON, (A) - Andrew J. May, former chairman of the House military committee, and the Carson Brothers pleaded in- nocent today to charges of con- spring to defraud the government.
 Chief Justice Bolitha Laws, who received their plea in U. s. district court, fixed March l9 for trial.
 Each of the defendants was re- leased in $2,OOO bond.
 Appearing with the former Ken lucky Democratic Congressmen were Henry and Murray Carson. and Joseph Freeman.
 The Garssons were organizers of a wartime munitions combine which received more than S78,00O,- 900 in war contracts, Freeman was their Washington representative.
 An indictment returned by a grand jury yesterday charges that May agreed to receive S53,634.O7 and "other sums" from them and. to use his influence to get them profitable contracts.
 The 7l-year-old former Con- gressmen appeared tense but gave no show of emotion as he stood be- fore Justice Laws to answer the charges.
 "I plead not guilty" he said in a strong voice.
 Similar pleas then were entered by the two Garssons and Freeman.

Labor Leads New
Congress Bottle
For Federal FEPC

Washington (IPA)-Labor and
minority group spokesmen will en-
ter, on June II, another battle in
the war against discrimination. On
that date, hearings start before the
Senate Subcommittee on Discrim-
ination in Employment.
Need for quick action on the
measure was underscored last week
by Co-Chairman A. Philip Ran
dolph and Allan Knight Chalmers
of the Natl Council for Perma-
nent FEPC. "We express our ap-
probation to Chairman Taft (R.,
Ohio) of the Senate Labor & Pub
lie Welfare Committee for his
promptness in appointing a sub
committee to consider this bill and
to Chairman Donnell (R., Mo- for
equal promptness in setting date
for the beginning of hearings
thereon" the co-chairmen stated.
AS in previous hearings, the op-
position to the bill is expected to
remain silent, and to count on a
Senate filibuster by anti-Negro,
anti-Semitic Senators to strangle
the plan to eliminate discrimina-
tion on jobs and in employment Of
fices.

by the divisions Advisory Commit
tee on Sheltered Workshops, fol-
lowing meeting here. Representa-
tive of labor, management and the
government, the committee was
founded in 1889 to advise the Ad-
ministrator on application of the
special exemptions the wage and
hour law provides for organiza-
tions operating workshops for the
training of handicapped persons.
Under the law, handicapped per-
sons who work in such workshops
must be paid the minimum wage
required by the law unless the
workshop first secures the admin
istrator's permission to pay low
er wage.
The ultimate goal of workshops,
the placement in private industry
of trained handicapped workers,
was attained at highly satisfac-
tory rate during the war and re-
conversion periods. However, it
was said that expansion of the la
Dor market now means that some
handicapped workers, chiefly the
partly trained, must return to
sheltered workshops to complete
their training if they hope to earn
their own living in private indus
try. Many handicapped veterans
also are being trained in sheltered

Klein, of New York.
After visiting Senators and Rep
resentatives who favor drastic la
Dor curbs, the group reached the
conclusion that many members Of
Congress need an intensive course
in labormanagement relations.
Long Record Of Peace Cited

here have a long record-some go

"Of the Is million labor union
members in this country, at least
IL million could tell the same
story" Lewis continued, "and yet
Congress wants to pass bill which
will upset those good relations and
cause chaos and confusion"
The Communist party Is the prin-
cipal beneficiary of the present an
tiunion drive in Congress, Lewis
told members of the New York
delegation and the press.
"And the Communists are doing
all they can to capitalize on it," he
warned.
Farmers Not Told Facts

farmer the economic fact that farm
