Indianapolis (LPA)-A three-sided attempt to stack the cards against the Int'l Typographical Union-AFL bet came evident here last week on the eve of peace" discussions between the ITU and the American Newspaper Publishers Assn.
 l-The Typos, just a few days before, were selected as Taft-Hart- ley guinea pigs when NLRB Cen eral Counsel Robert Denham for mally charged the Baltimore ITU with refusal to bargain in good faith.
 2-T h o m Shreyer, gen. eral counsel for the Congressional ''watch-dog'' committee on the Taft-Hartley law, declared in a speech at French Lick, Ind., that the ITU would be unsuccessful in its device to escape responsibility under the anti-labor law.

 Hailed By All

SEATTLE-(FP) - A recent an- nouncement that AFL women's auxi1- iaries will soon sell line of union made cosmetics the profits of which will accrue to a union label campaign was hailed here by Local Lodge 1O4 ntl. Bro. of Boiermakers (AFL), as opening the way to new and broader life for labor.
 ''No longer" declared an edito- rial in the 1O4 Reporter, ''will true union member suffer when over. powered by Odeur de Tomcat from parfume-drenched, capitalist troll lOps. He now can counterattack with the latest AFL aromatic crea- tion-Nuit avec le Executive Board, or similar lustful musk.
 Think of getting out a deep tank after a days work scaling and the soothing, restful feeling as you swab your armpits with Eau de Gui1laume Green, after your bubble bath in the hcompany's shower room. Yes, it would really change our lives.
 ''We could go on from there and point out that all the modern tech niques in advertising can be used. Testimonials from business agents. for example: Before using the AFL's deodorant the employers would hardly negotiate with me. Now, after drinking five bottles have no trouble at all in collective bargaining And perhaps such sIo- gans as Smooth as Piecard's Palm could be used.
 At any rate we are glad to see this revolutionary change in Labor's ap- preach to the troubles of their mem bership and we smell big things ahead for us all"

Truman Is Told Controls By US.
 Can Curb Spiral
National Organizations Give Plans To Combat High
 Prices

Washington (LPA) - President Truman's Council of Economic Ad- visors has placed before him evi- dences of the grave price situation, including a report from the COun- cil's Consumer Advisory Committee that voluntary measures alone are inadequate to cope with the present situation."
 Meeting here this week, the con- sumer advisers told the Council that "We are unanimous in the belief that American obligations for the relief and reconstruction of Europe must be met. Cutting down, or failing to ex- pand, needed shipments abroad must not be used to solve the problems of American consumers at home"
 Positive government controls" were termed necessary, s'involving authority beyond that which HOW exists" Contradicting the views of many Administration spOkesmen and members of Congress, the con- sumner spOkesmen placed little faith i'm the effectiveness of voluntary consumer action" which they said ''can be effective as a supplement to such controls, but not as a sub- stitute for them.''
 GROUPS ACTIVE
 Besides the action addressed to the White House, national organizations in several fields last week drew up programs to combat high prices, in cluding:
 Americdns for Democratic Action: Adopted seven-point program which calls for enactment of legislation to make the Marshall Plan a reality; setting up of Economic Adjustment Administration with full legal author ity to reduce prices and reinstitute ra- tioning as it deems necessary, and to break production bottlenecks: reinsti- tuition of the excess profits tax. <.
 League of WomeMS Voters: Called for a special session of Congress to provide emergency funds for Europe and to set up machinery to combat in- fation; extension of export-import controls and consumer credit limita-- tions; establishment of controls to di- vert grain from livestock to human consumption.
 American Veterans Committee: Advocated restoration of the powers contained in the Second War Pow CTS Act, which AVG maintains will give the administration the power to increase supplies of scarce re- sources, to limit the production of non-essentials, and to distribute scarce materials such as steel and grain in such a way as to ease the infiationary pressure.
 ProgreSSiye Citizens of America: Urged a special session of Congress, rigid limitation of profits, rationing of scarce commodities, protection of the small farmer by subsidies. vigorous prosecution of food speculators.
 Nafl FarmerS Union: Return to ra- tioning and price controls.

C.-E. A. Winslow, chairman of the New Haven Housing Authority; Al Ian Twichel of the American Pub. lie Health Association; and Robert Savitt, whose interest i'm housing is we'll known.

 LONG SKIRTS ARE
 IMMORAL, MORONIC PASTOR SAYS
 According to the New York Daily News: ''The New Deal administra- ton has encouraged the unions to promote higher and higher wages, while ignoring the fact that wages are big element in prices"
 This persistent attempt to blame labor for high prices is econom. ically unfounded. Here's why:
 According to the Federal Trade Commission labor cost amounts to only 16% of the total cost of pro- ducts in all manufacturing. Which means wage increases should gen. orally require only a fractional in. crease in prices.
 A study has been published showing that when wages rose 8.2% over the best war year, prices which should have been boosted 1.4% actually were hiked 27.8%. REPORTING arrest of woman in $1O7, ,OOO embezzlement, St. Louis (Mo.) Post-Dispatch said: Glow. ever, Miss Myers refused to sing a statement at the prosecutors of fice.' According to cOlumDist David Lawrence: "With labor and mate. riaIs and the land constituting 95% of the cost entering into the price of houses, it is difficult to see how the 5O that has long been the commission fee can possibly have affected housing prices. | Columnist Lawrence overlooked one thing-profits!
 The Natl. City Bank letter for April lo47 lists the net income of 16 of the largest construction firms at $6.7 million for 1946-a hike of 64.2% over l945.
 That might have something to do with the high cost of housing.
