Labor Loses Pa.
E0ongress Fight

Allentown, Pa.-(LPA)- Organ
lied labor's Congressional election
\score became one won and one lost
last week as Philip Storch, back
ed by the AFL, CIO, Railroad Bro
therhoods and Independent union
groups, was defeated by a Repub-
lican in his bid for vacant seat in
the House of Representatives.
In a Congressional district count
ing $4,000 registered Republicans
and 10000 Democrats, Storch poll
ed 3O,f7S votes to 47,029 for Frank
lin H. Lichtenwalter, speaker of the
State House of Representatives.
In the industrialized sections
Storch made a strong showing. He
lost this city by the small margin
of 603 votes. His defeat in Bristol
was by 81 votes, in Quakerville by
169 and in Sellersville by three.
Storch, an ex-Marine and president
of the Lehigh Valley Newspaper
Guild-CIO, campaigned on plat
form calling for repeal of the Taft
Hartley law.
The United Labor Division of the
Storch- For Congress Committee is
sued statement signed by AFL,
CIO and RIB officials which said,
"We carried seven of the eight
wards in Allentown where we con-
centrated our forces. We've just
begun to fight. We don't consider
the vote reputation on the Taft
Hartley law ISSUE"
The Republicans fought the cam
paign chiefly on the issue that a
)GOP defeat would mean rule by
"outside radical union carpetbag-
gers" 1t was clear that much of
the large farm vote in Bucks Coun-
ty was influenced by this propa-
ganda.

California Farm Labor
Wins New Status

Fresno, Calf. - (LPA)-Thous-
ands of transient farm workers
are covered by social security un-
der a ruling announced this week
by federal officials after their de-
cision not to appeal circuit court
verdict holding dried fruit workers
are commercial instead Of agricul-
tural employees.
Acting Commissioner w. L. Nit
chell said the social security agency
plans to re-classify as commercial
all workers employed "where the
grower has parted with his econo-
mic interest" in the farm commod-
ity affected.
Union officials said this means
transient farm workers are cover
ed by social security unless they
are employed directly by the grow
er who produced the crop being
harvested or processed. Under Nit
chelPs ruling, they said, pickers
or harvesters employed by a COM
mercial handler who buys an en-
the crop-a common practice-are
eligible to social security benefits.

living and better citizenship"
To increase their activities in
child welfare, hospital work, vet
Grams rehabilitation, and granting
of scholarships in the coming year,
were among the laudable resolu-
tions passed.
Mrs. Hutton said, "The lack of
housing is adding to our rising di-
vorce rate and to the juvenile de-
linquency problem. The Legion
Auxiliary must do something to
implement the Legion's practical
program to make low cost housing
available speedily to veterans.
She also asked the women, as
spenders Of the family income to
curb the high cost of living. "The
cost of living is soaring so that
those whose salaries have not risen
and those who are living on fixed
incomes find their security in jeo-
pardy," she declared. 81 feel that
we must determine the factors that
are leading US toward runaway in
flation."
There were 1900 delegates to
the convention representing 100000
members, and Mrs. Hutton was
warmly congratulated by Harold
Stassen, the former governor of
her state as she took her office
as president. The old adage that
beauty and brains don't mingle is
disproved again in Mrs. Hutton's
case, as the lady is not only in
telligent but beautiful and smartly
dressed besides.

Housing Crisis
Revives B offIe:
|U.S.-vs.-L bby

Washington-HPA)- Members
Of the Joint Congressional Com
mittee to Investigate Housing had
their "a-b-c" lessons in the intri-
cacies of the building industry last
week.
They heard, from the top gov
ernment housing experts that: The
| u. S. needs about 100000 new
homes a year; despite this, there
are only about $4,000 families
able to pay current prices for
homes, out of the 1,5C0,0 900 needing
homes; building codes, building
practices, and the BODYBUILDING in
dustry's pricing policies are all in
need of drastic repair.
Contradicting the claims of home
builders and the real estate lobby,
the federal experts estimated that
about 10000 homes will be start
ed this year-a number far short
of the needs Of veterans and others
hunting a place to live.
Preliminary questioning at the
first committee session by Vice
Chairman Joseph Mccarthy (R.,
Wis., indicated that the committee
is not yet persuaded by previous
Congressional studies conducted
over a several-year period that an
overall bill would be the solution,
and that public housing will be
needed to fill in the gap left by pri-
vate enterprise.
Special attention was addressed
to the high prices of building ma
terials, especially of lumber, which
has increased in price 1897 over
1927. Obsolete building codes We're
also the subject of questions to
the government men.
Also last week, the Commerce
Dept made public figures showing
that construction material prices
are still 94%c above 1889, and pre-
dieting that at seems unlikely that
construction material prices will
decline during the rest of 1947. In
fact they may rise slightly because
of the repercussions of the recent
increases in the prices of coal and
Of STEEL"

Employers Warner On
Child Labor Violations

Washington, d. C.-The U. S.
Department Of Labor warned en-
ployers to abide by child labor
laws in hiring minors.
With the reminder that most of
the nations schools have reopened,
the Department stated there are
specific regulations governing the
employment of minors in almost
every full-time or part-time job. 1t
said the laws will be strictly en-
forced and urged employers to ia
miliarize themselves with both
State and Federal statutes to keep
violations at minimum.

THIS BUSINESS

- BY MARY MOORE


Translucent marbles serve lot
of purposes. Several placed in a
tea kettle will help keep the lime
from collecting on sides and bot
tom. They will also help keep
jams and jellies from sticking while
being cooked. Use them when max
ing starchy sauces to keep sauce
from sticking to the pan. (Be sure
and fish them out before serving)
Drop one in the toe of a stock
ing to keep it from blowing and
twisting on the clothes line. Or
use them in your glass ivy and
flower bowls. They help hold the
arrangements besides making a
very pretty sight magnified by the
water.
A leaky plumbing joint (upon
which there is no direct pressure)
can be fixed by using ordinary
yellow kitchen soap as a packing,
and it will last indefinitely-or at
least until you get around to call
ing a plumber.
You can now buy double action
tape gummed on both sides to at
tach to your rug and the floor to
keep rug from slipping and caqs-
ing you to break your neck. You
can also vacuum right over throw
rugs which are anchored with the
tape as they will not rumple up.
The tape is also handy for hang
ing pictures to painted walls with

GLAMOR
If you don't already have a
drawer full, you'd better skip out
and buy your self some silk scarfs.
Silk, repeat, because they are so
filmy, softer to wear and arrange
more easily than the rayon ones
you've been wearing.
And the stores seem to be burst
| ing with them in all the colors of
"Finian's Rainbow" Wear them
with your blouses, under those new
long pointed collars, tied in bow,
| in a sailors bowknot or ascot style,
| but wear them. Tie them to the
front or wear them off-side. Wear
them with your suits, even if they
are high collared-let just little
of the color show above the suit
neckline. They're chic. And wear
them with your dresses. Just any
way, as long as you wear them.
The smartest dressed girls are do
ing it. sn
Maurice Rentner, leading
American designer predicts that
American women will not accept
the rounded shouldered, wide ship
ped silhouette, and advises them to
stick to their shoulder pads.
His designs have bold square
shoulders and slim skirts. He fea-
lures the Dickens collar" upstand-
ing in back and having long points
in front, using it alike on suits and
coats.
1t is predicted that handbags for
fall will be of lower price and bet
ter quality than those We were
forced to buy for the past few
years.
Formal bags to carry with dressy
clothes and evening clothes are
again to be had in gold and silver
kid and exquisite beaded designs,
not to mention the lovely draped
arrangements of lustrous satins
and failles and gold mesh.
The camera top box purse is
proving more popular than when
it was first introduced, and the
long underarm envelope bag has
been replaced by the bull shirred
egg-shaped bag with gold plated
top.
Don't let the short-slip problem
with your new longer dresses both
er you. It's simple to lengthen your
slip with lace. Very good quality |
edgings in variety of widths can
be found now in the shops, and all |
you need to do is buy lace of the
desired number of inches you need
and sew it on.

- OARAA oA "1onkkCoo
A wELL-KNowN sorority re-
IA Gently debated the question:
Should American mothers be
more concerned with making their
sons into gentlemen than with
making them experts in the manly
art of self-defense?" In other
words, is it better to pattern the
behavior of young America on the
suave manners Of Lord Chester
field or on the strength of Joe
Louis?
A member of the sorority wrote
me asking my opinion: 'One
leader for the muscular-prowess
side of the debate said that the
day of the little gentleman is
past. A teammate advised that a
child should be given boxing gloves
almost as soon as he is able to
walk, and that when he is old
enough to stay awake late, he
should be taken to prize fights.
The other side. of course, held
that the greatest advantage parents
can give their sons is the knowl-
edge of the gentleman's code.
Since our debate ended in what
amounted to a draw, we would
like to have your opinion on the
subject"
No Choice Necessary
MY REPLY is that both extremes
are equally absurd. Actually, there
need be no question of choice. The
premise that a young boy who has
been brought up as gentleman is
necessarily a sissy" makes no
sense whatever. Nor does it follow
that the boy who has had excellent
muscular training is a 'hoodlum.
Ideally, boy should combine
the two qualities. His mental.
moral and spiritual strength should,
