HAVE YOU HEARD?

Our South American neighbors
also consider themselves "Ameri-
cans, so don't feel that you of
the United States have monopoly
on the term if you're vacationing
by chance in South America this
summer
Also remember that greetings
and departures call for leisurely
interest with our southern neigh
bcrs, and not a hurried wave of
the hand or a "toodle-oo", as we
are wont to do.
The easy dress costume of the
u. S. are out of place in Sac Paulo,
Brazil's Industrial city where Bra
zilians are not permitted to board

where a woman wearing shorts or

considered scandalous. South Amer
lean women always dress formally
and not casually as we do in pub
lie.
And don't overlook the left-hand-
ed fork which is standard i'm South
America as it is in Europe. 1t is
the North American who is differ

the right.

HART-TO-HART-TALk on AID
70 SCHOOLS

That man is here again. Mervir
X. Hart, that is: president of the
National Economic Council, Inc.
$50 Fifth Avenue, New York City
He is the elf-advertised cham.
pion of the capitalist system and
individual enterprise. During the
Spanish rebellion and when il
counted, he did as much as anyone
to "sell' Dictator France to Ameri-
can public opinion.
Yes, that's right, the same Fran
co who ran the rehearsal for World
War ii and later sent Blue Le-
gion to help Hitler. II
If it sounds screwy to be for
both individual enterprise and
! Franco, you need a Hart-to-heart
! talk. Hart might explain that Fran
co is exercising his own individual
enterprise with the approval of all
true Spanish Harris and that it's
the dissenting Spaniards' own fault
that, they can't assert and exer-
else their individual enterprise long
enough to get him off their backs.
Or Hart might make sense out of
his record by saying that fascism
is the last refuge of any ingrow-
ing and bankrupt capitalism and,
gosh, how he hates the thought that
it might have to happen here.
Hart turned up recently at House
hearings on bills for federal aid
to education. His position was SIM
pie. He was against them, all of
them. Let the children of each and
every one of the 48 states stew in
the educational juices rich or lean,
sweet or rancid, of their own states,
with no help from the Federal gov
ernment. Let teachers get pay in
creases the hard way, state by
state, locality by locality.
He seemed pretty SNUG. He came
down from New York just to make
sure that waverers like Sen. Taft
and Rep. McCowen, sponsors of
HR-2953, got fresh injection of
DR.. Hart's old sure-shot serum
against New Dealism. He was
rougher on Nazi Germany and pre-
was France than on postwar Rus
sia. And not a word about Franco.
Hart's prepared statements usu-
ally read like the believing of a
bull-necked industrialist who got to
the top by walking on the faces
of his fellow-workers. Actually, he
is a wisp of man who excites
more pity than anger-until he
starts to sound off.

Maritime Strike
Wins Woge Hike

New York UPA)-A four-day
strike of three maritime unions
tied up coast and Gulf ports and
idled nearly l0C0 freight and pas
senger ships was ended last week
with the signing of new contracts
calling for general 5% pay raise
and other contract improvements.
The new agreements were rati-
fled by the Natl Maritime Union,
Maritime Engineers Beneficial
ASSN, and the American Commu-
nications Assn. The parts covered
60,C00 NMU members, $4,000 ME
BA members and 1900 radio oper-
ators in AGA. On the west coast,
the AGA and the Marine Cooks &
Stewards signed interim agree
ments.
AS the strike was being settled
the Seafearers lnt'l Union-AFL,
representing seamen on the east
and Gulf coasts, presented demands
for a 209S wage hike which were
promptly turned down by the oper-
ators who faced the possibility of
tie-up.

Group To Study
Labor Relations

| Washington (LPA)-One of the
nations outstanding research or
| ganizations has finally decided to
"accentuate the positive in labor
management relations.
The Natl Planning Association
has decided to make study of typ
ical firms which have experienced
successful and peaceful relations
with unions.
! "There is more industrial peace
today than most people are aware
| Of" the NPA decided. So, under
the guidance of Sponsorship
| Committee composed of 40 busi-
ness and labor leaders, and Tech
| nical Advisory Committee compos-
ed of 26 labor-management rela-
tions specialists, NPA plans to
study IL to Is firms where there
haven't been strikes or serious
union-employer frietions over a
long period of time.
"About every seven or eight
years since 1876" pointed out Tech
nical Advisory Committee Chair
man Clinton S. Golden, explaining
the unique project, 'the govern
ment thru Congressional commit
tees or presidentially appointed
commissions, has been making in
quiries into the cases of industrial
conflict and strife.
"In my opinion, the time has
come when, instead of looking into
the causes of conflict that we know
and hear so much about, we ought
to try to discover how much peace
there is and what makes peace"
He added that there are we'll over
$4,000 collective bargaining agree
ments in force in the U. S. and that
nine out of every 10 agreements
are settled peacefully without
strikes and lockouts.
A pilot" study of one firm is
already under way, and the rest of
the study is expected to take about
year, NPA estimates.

Csc Wage Floor
Asked BY Group

Washington UPA)-One of the
simplest bills introduced into this
session of Congress was put into
the hopper last week by nine Dem
ocrats and two Republicans. In
few brief sentences, it would in
crease the legal minimum wage
from 40c to 65c thru an amend
ment to the Fair Labor Standards
Act.
Despite lip-service to the idea of
the bill by both Party's leaders,
including Republican Sen. Robert
A. Taft, it faces an uphill fight in
both houses of Congress. President
Truman, in signing the portal-to-
portal pay bill, recently urged a
Csc minimum wage.
The measure would provide for
gradual raising of the minimum
from 40c to Csc immediately, then
to zoe at the end of one year, and
to 75c at the end of two years.
All other strengthening amend
ments to the Fair Labor Standards
Act which were included in pre-
vious minimum wage bills have
been scrapped temporarily, in the
hopes that the wage issue will not
run up against other filibuster in
the House.
Sponsors Of the bill are Demo-
cratic Senators Claude Pepper
(Fla.), Robert F. Wagner (N. W,
Elbert d. Thomas (Utah), James
f. Murray 3D., Montana), Dennis
Myers (Pa.), Glen Fl. Taylor ida
ho), and Republican Senators Will
liam LANCER On. d. and Wayne
Morse (Ore.).
Pointing out that there has been
no rise in the legal minimum since
the original bill passed in 1888,
while living costs have gone up at
least 55@6, the sponsors when they
put in the bill quoted approvingly
recent st. Louis Post-Dispatch
editorial that "Any Congressman
doubling that the President is right
on minimum wages should sit down
and figure out how he and his
family would live on less than $26
a week."

JobIessness Dips
Below 1000, 900

Washington (LPA)- Unemploy-
ment dropped below 100000 in
May and for the third successive
month the total of wage and sal
aried workers in non-farm employ
ment "stood firm at the record
level of 42,0CO,OOO," the Labor
Dept reported last week.
Weekly earnings, said Commits
sioner Of Labor Statistics Evan
Clague, set an all-time high in
May. Preliminary estimates for the
month showed that average week.
ly earnings for all manufacturing
reached $48.86, approximately So
above the wartime high registered
in 1945. However, the May work
week was about 40.4 hours while
the wartime peak was 47.5.
Although the seasonal pickup in
the crucial construction industry
which began in March will con-
tinue thruout the summer, Clague
said that construction employment
will fall considerably short of the
record which was anticipated" He
found that Although building has
flattened out much sooner than ex-
pected, 1947 will still be one of the
best construction years in our his
tory"

Gil has substantial industrial and
business backing, therefore, choic-
er bits of his testimony are worth
your thoughtful sampling. They
will give you an idea of the forces
that are riding high these days,
here and elsewhere in the nation.
Let's apply the saliva test to a
few samples:
"The passage of any of these
bills would weaken the cause of in
dividual enterprise and of the
capitalist system which are known
quantities on which our whole eco
nomy is based, and would tend by
just so much to involve US in the
morass of collectism which is the
worlds greatest threat today +. {.
Federal control is, indeed, an
inescapable part of any Federal
aid bill this Congress would SER
iously consider -.
"Today's school costs may, if
the depression so many people are
warning us about materializes, be
far higher than it will be possible
for the country to meet when and
if the depression comes -.
'It is true in politics as in all
else in life that Whose bread |
eat, his song l sing" Query:
Whose bread dies Hart eat?)
"The passage of any of these
bills would be a step toward Ma
tional Socialism. (Hey, Franco,
look who's talking mean about your
pals!)
"There is one very useful serv-
ice that Congress could perform
namely, to investigate for itself
the quality of education now being
administered in the states 4. the
philosophy that is being taught
and it will find that the general
trend is critical of all heretofore
accepted American institutions :.
(He ended by repeating this as
request.)
"Dr. Frank Spalding, the Chair
man in 1934-35 Of the Educational
Advisory Committee Of the Econo-
mic Council, used to say, after
lifetime of experience as teacher,
that for many youth good job
was the best possible education"
huff said: education for the
few, jobs for the many, when, as
and if. Teach 'em less, hire 'em
young-and fire 'em early.

Seen In War Threat

Washington (LPA)-Fear that
another war might be close-that
we might blunder into armed con-
flict within the next few years
was given as the basic reason for
training before the House Armed
Services Committee last week.
DR.. Karl T. Compton, chairman
of the Presidents Advisory Com
mission on Universal Training, re-
iterated before the committee the
belief expressed in the Commission
report that a years compulsory
military training was necessary for
every 18-year-old boy because: at
is needed to insure our safety in a
world in which peace is not yet
secure" He estimated that the pro-
gram would cost $1A billion a
year.
Representatives of all sections
of organized labor are expected to

resumed.

REPORT SOARING RELIEF LOADS,
REFLECTING UNEMPLOYMENT RISE
INCREASES IN COST OF LIVING

Chicago (ILNS)-General relief
caseloads are going up fast. Reflect
ing increased unemployment and
high living costs, public assistance
problems are becoming critical
throughout the nation, the Ameri-
can Public Welfare Association
says.
Most current unemployment is
among unskilled workers displaced
by skilled veterans. Citing reports
from the Federal Security Agency
and other government units, the
association says unemployment is
increasing in % major labor CEN
ters on a wide arc from Scranton
south through Savannah, west
through Wichita, and north from
San Diego through Sacramento to
Tacoma.
Sharp State Increases
In Minnesota, the family relief
caseload increased 35 percent dur
ing 1916, sharp incline which cur
rent signs indicate is typical of
many states. Several state legisla-
lures have granted bigger state
relief funds to meet the rising
need. Pennsylvania boosted assis-
tance funds for the coming bien-
mum to $30.6 million--$10.1 mil
lion more than the 1945 appropria-
tion.
Monthly relief costs in Pennsyl-
vania between June, 1945, and
May, 1947, more than doubled-in-
creasing from $520,000 to an esti-
mated $1,26O,000. The monthly
caseload meanwhile jumped more
than go percent--from $4,000 in
June, 1916, to an estimated $4,000
in May, 1947.
Major cities almost unanimously
have requested increased state well
fare aid. In all but A of 10 repre-
sentative major cities, caseloads
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1947-06-26

have risen sharply since Septem-
ber. Increases through March boost
the total for these cities to more
than so percent above the low
point in 1945.
Total general relief caseload for
the nation in February was 344 GOO,
as compared to 258,OOO IL months
earlier. Despite current increases,
the situation is still in no way
comparable to that existing i'm Feb
ruary, 1910, when relief loads
reached peak of 1,687.0OO cases.
Relief Costs Jump
Highest current increase in the
group of selected cities is report
ed in Washington, where general
assistance rolls heightened 60 per-
cent between March, 1916, and
March, 1947. During this period
caseloads increased 81 percent in
San Francisco, Al percent in New
York, and 80 percent in Baltimore.
Only significant decrease was in
Buffalo, where the county case
load dropped 10 percent.
Because of increased living costs,
relief expenditures during the
same period Jagged upwards even
more sharply. Record increase was
in New York, where relief costs
mounted 05 percent. Other highest
increases were San Francisco, II
percent, Washington So percent, st.
Louis 46 percent, and Los Angeles
County 43 percent.
Same Story In States
Further reports highlight in
creased relief costs in virtually all
states. From November, 1945, to
November, 1916, general relief
costs increased 81 percent in Della
ware, 9O.S percent in Wyoming,
75.8 percent in Ohio, 81 percent in
California, 557 percent in Indiana.

Fire Prevention Week
Planned For County

Every man, woman and child in
Caldwell and Noble county could be
given nearly $500,000 with the
money America will lose through
fire damage this year, report of
Governor Herbert's Ohio Fire Safety
Committee shows today.
The committee, consisting of lead
ing industrialists, educators, fire
fighting experts and men in public
life from all sections of Ohio, is
planning a statewide observance of
Fire Prevention Week, October to
IL.
Governor Herbert named the COM
mittee in response to President Tru-
mans National Fire Prevention Con-
ference last May, which recon-
mended that the states undertake
their own programs to augment the
national fire prevention campaign.
Joseph B. Hall, president of the
Kroger Co., Cincinnati, was named
chairman of the Ohio group.
The committee has learned that
national fire losses this year are ex-
pected to skyrocket to $775,000,
compared to last years $500, 900, 600
fire loss. Losses in Ohio are showing
similar jump, according to the
committees reports.
