Labor disputes loom on the horizon
in the communications industry, and
possibly in coal and rubber, but no.
where is there any indication that
l947 will bring d repetition of last
years crippling strikes.
The nations second oldest major
strike, the l4-month-old Walkout at
the j |. Case plant in Racine, Wis,
ended Other recent major wage set
Elements involved 10000 AFL garment
workers and 10000 CIO seamen. Most
1947 contracts already have been
signed in the meat packing, oil and
glass industries
Meanwhile in Congress, the Senate
Labor committee began mixing its
cure for labor ills while the House
committee wound up its last week of
public hearings.
In neither committee hearings, how
ever, has any clear-cut solution been
developed on how TO curb strikes af-

Blocs
Urban VS.. RUrul

While there is talk of eastern and
western blocs in international politics,
one need look no further than any
state government to find cities ar
rayed against country districts in leg
isiative blocs of long and bitter stand
ing. The urban versus rural feud is
common to al. states and it is growing
more intense in the postwar period.
Rural areas are being warned by
eight mayors touring the midwest
and south, that cities are getting tired
of giving them a free ride on their
taxes.
Mayor George W Welsh of Grand
Rapids, Mich, president of the U. S.
Conference OF Mayors, says one of the
main purposes of the tour is to stress
the city's relation to the country.
The time has come" said Mayor
Welsh, "wher it is no longer possible
fer the cities 10 carry the rural dis
tricts. The cities are hamstrung by
legislatures controlled by rural men,
bers."
Declaring cities were entitled to get
what they pay for, Welsh said legisla-
lures were ignoring the fact that
most problems of the people are
where the most people are-the
cities"
THE state takes millions from the
cities and spends most of it on rural
roads," he claimed, while the city
dweller can't even find place &c

FOOdNeeded
For Europe

THE question of whether Con-
i gress wants long or short
range foreign relief program is
posed by the report of former
President Herbert Hoover urging
that $155, 100000 be spent in Aus
tria during the next Is months.
Hoover says that Austrian relief
must continue at least until July l,
l948, and he feels it better to face
that fact now rather than propose re-
newed appropriations later on.
President Truman's special food
envoy explained that his proposal
would provide Austria with less aid
than a United Nations program con-
templates but that his proposal would
permit "a food level that while aus
tere is sufficient to maintain health"
The U.N. program would involve
spending Sl48,000,000 in Austria for
the rest of 1947 and if extended for
Is months would cost S248, 100000, or
$93,000,000 more than Hoover recon-
mends.
The U.N. outlay would come from
a $610,000,000 fund, of which the us.
has been asked to contribute 81 per-
cent.
Aid to Taxpayers
Hoover described the U.N. program
as admirable but said he had pared
his own estimates in view of world
supplies and drains upon the Ameri-
can taxpayer"
Hoover said Austria's nutritional
level q somewhat better than year
ago Ae said that failure to unity the
f0Lr occupation zones economically
Efevents full use of Austrian re-
sources. He suggested too that reduc-
ton If Russian forces in Austria to
the level of other occupying powers
would permit more food for civilians
Ask Yugoslav Proof
Meanwhile the State Department
told Yugoslavia it must present clear
evidence that real need now exists
bef;re it could get authority to buy
grain from the United States
Recently the Yugoslav government
asked the us embassy in Belgrade
to recommend to the International
Emergency Food Council an alloca-
tion of grain to Yugoslavia.
The State Department noted, how
ever, that Marshal Tito exported grain
to Romania last fall before elections
in that Soviet-dominated country, and
also to Albania.
'Yugoslavia has repeatedly and
publicly stated its supplies of food
were adequate to meet essential needs
until the next harvest" the depart
ment said
The American Military Government
in Germany reported that American
taxpayers contributed nearly $500
100000 in food and supplies for Ger
many since the end of the wal
through 1916.

placed persons from August l, 1915

two months ago approved the Baruch

Russia and Poland abstaining.
In the Security Council where he
has the right Of veto, Gromyko bit
terly renewed his attacks upon the
Baruch plan and revived his own ma
tons counter-plan which had failed
to gain support in the commission.
Gromyko charged his country would

Austin denounced the Russian as

set up an atomic energy monopoly.

said, provide for "a system which at
best would give no security, and at
worst would be constant incentive
