Comment On World Events

A known mine Of 386,850 capa-
BILE human beings, men and women
skilled in all professions, arts and
crafts, and others less skilled but
capable Of productive work, are
now in UNRRA displaced persons
camps ready to enrich the econ
omy of any country to which they
emigrate, Dean Earl G. Harrison
of Philadelphia, chairman of the
Citizens Committee on Displaced
Persons, has just disclosed.
Most, if not all, Of the total re-
ported by Dean Harrison could be
admitted under the policy voted by
the last American Federation of
Labor convention, which, while op-
posing modification Of existing i'm
migration laws, heartily approved
immediate entry into the United
States of immigrants equal to the
unused quotas Of the war years.
American farmers, ranchers,
lumbermen, builders and house
wives could readily use thousands
of these skilled workers who are
available to fill the gap of some of
the labor shortages in the United
States" said Dean Harrison, who
is dean Of the University of Penn
sylvania Law School and former
L. S. Commissioner Of Immigra-
tion and Naturalization.
Included are nearly 10000 agri-
cultural workers, among them
farmers and stock raisers; about
LOCO trained lumbermen and for
esters, more than 10000 construc-
tion workers and 22,066 domes-
tics"
Dean Harrison explained that
the figures were based on par
tial survey made by the United
Nations Relief and Rehabilitation
Administration in Germany, Aus
tria and Italy a few months ago.
He added that since the survey
was limited one, there are un-
doubtedly thousands of additional
workers among the displaced per-
sons who would be a credit to the
United States.

William McComb
New Wage. Hour
Division Chief

Washington, ID. c. (ILNS).-
William r. McComb of Dixon, Mo-,
has been appointed by President
Truman as administrator of the
Wage and Hour Division, U. S. De-
partment of Labor, TO succeed l..
Metcaf Walling, who has resigned.
McComb has been deputy admin
istrator since 1897.
In his letter of resignation,
Walling said that operation of the
Wage-hour law constituted a
"broad humanitarian progra I'm
which is now so universally accept
ed by all our people"
Walling declared that the law,
which began amid controversy,
was now lone of the cornerstones
Of our immediate reconversion
program as well as the long-term
future" and added:
at is an accepted part of the
machinery of government and the
base on which our national wage
structure rests. No substantial
body of opinion now fails to recog-
nize its soundness and appropri-
ateness as the bedrock of our ma
tional economy"
President Truman, accepting the
resignation, praised Walling's ser
vice and said that the wage-hour
Legislation Stands as a guide and
a landmark in labor relations"

providing medical care for the in
digent.
"The same three Senators have
now introduced another health
bill (S. 545) with new recruit
added to the sponsors, Senator
Donnell of Missouri. There is very
little difference between this years
bill and last year's-what differ
ence there is, is for the worse, rep
resenting a more decided drift to-
ward complete control of medical
service by those who have a pro-
prietory interest in sickness.
"This bill, like last years, at
tempts to approach the problem of
the nations health on the wholly
inappropriate basis of charity.
While providing medical care to
the INDECENT represents a real
problem and one with which we in
the American Federation of Labor
are in sympathy, this is not suit
able approach to take IN meeting
the nations health needs.
"People in the lower and middle
income groups need protection
against the cost Of medical care
which can only be provided by a
program of health insurance. They
will never submit to the indigri-
ties of investigation and examina-
ton that would be required under
the Taft Ball Smith -Donnelly pro-
posal.
"The American Federation of
Labor is not deceived by this sorry
substitute for health insurance. We
shall continue to press for the en-
actment of a measure that will
make available the best of modern
medical care to all people without
the necessity of a means test or a
pauper's OATH"

perts of the U. S. Department of
Labor that there are serious short
ages in many trades and profess
sions in this country" Dean Har-
rison declared.
Eve must, if we wish to keep
our country strong, strengthen our
economic resources with new inn
migration. Here is a great oppor-
tunity for the United States of
America to enrich its people and
its economy, just as immigration
has done for the past 100 years"
The Citizens Committee on Dis
placed Persons was organized with
labor approval three months ago
to secure temporary Legislation to
admit the 100000 DPS a year for
four years without altering the
basic quota law regulating normal
immigration. The 100000 total
would equal less than half the
number Of quota immigrants who
could legally have come here dur
ing the war years.

Backs Drive
To Aid Greeks

Washington, ID. C. ULNS).-
President William Green of the
American Federation of Labor has
called on all locals to support the
Greek War Relief's campaign to
raise $12,000,O00 nationally and
said:
Hunger and distress prevail
among the masses Of people in
Greece and many of them will
suffer and die unless help and as
sistance is extended to them now.

lief Association my personal and
official endorsement. This endorse
ment is based upon humane con-
siderations and upon the crying
need for help and assistance to the
suffering people of Greece
In New York City, the Trades

workmen in Greece"

Machinery Order Backlog
Setting Further Record

Washington, d. C.-New rec
ords have been reached in backlog
orders for automatic machinery,
according to a report from con-
tract manufacturing executives.
Established lines find that their
delivery promises appear unreason-
able to prospective buyers, and
some are refusing to accept
further orders. An unprecedented
demand exists for the services of
contract manufacturers who create
special machinery to meet specifi-
cations.

Interior Dept. In
Opposition To
Separate Season

Northern Montana duck hunt
ers. hopeful of securing a sepa-
rate hunting season for their sec
ton of the state through legisla-
ton introduced by Congressman
Wesley A. D'Ewart, were mott
fled this week of Interior Depart
ment opposition to their plans.
D'Ewart a d v S e d Montana
Wildlife Federation officials, who
recommended the measure. that
the Secretary of Interior has re-
ported unfavorably and recon-
mended the measure, that it not
be enacted.
The bill would place Phillips,
Blaine, Liberty. Hill, Toole, VAL
ley, Daniels, Sheridan and Roose-
welt counties in a hunting zone
distinct from the remainder of
the state, in ord Ell to provide
equal hunting opportunities for
all sportsmen.
Regulations now in force place
all of Montana in a single hunt
ing zone, without regard for
climate, altitude or geography,
D'Ewart said, with the result
that a single short duck season is
inadequate. An early season is
unsatisfactory in the south, while
a late season finds the ponds and
lakes of the northern counties al
ready frozen over. and the ducks
gone.
D'Ewart said he would press
for passage of tn e bill despite
department opposition. The de-
partment's objections, he said,
were based on the statement that
the present situation is satisfac-
tory.

beginning of World War l at that
time its only purpose was to
arouse the people of the COM

Portable garments for the boys
in the service and to get up pack
ages of goodies made up as was
done in the recent war.
There was little home service
at that time, but in all the calls
that came, Blackfeet Chapter
did more than its share. There
was a lot of interest and a thriv-

with a full staff of officers and
they were always on call to meet

the work.

the wars it continued to func-

national plan to sew garments,
pack war kits for the soldiers,
and later for the boys in the
hospitals.
Our women TO ks met and
worked hard and long to do the
tedious tasks in fulfllment of
those organized Red Cross duties.
Mr.. and Mrs. Seymore gave long
and tedious hours from their time
to answer the calls from every
land in Home Service to get con-
facts in cases of d e a h and of
needs from afar to the folks at
home. And in like manner in
cases of need at home in all cases
home service sought out the boys
in foreign lands to bring them
word of need or sorrow from
home. Then came the boys from
afar returning to ca ps and
hospitals in this country and in
like manner every call for need
has been answered up to date by
your home service representative.
Big files of letters, kilograms and
phone messages bulge with the
efforts of your home service help

hospitals or in work or in trying
to meet their other need. These
things only come to the attention
of the folks who are directly af-

Yes, and more, it does come to
the aid of those who suffer dis

regulations set up by the Nation

or creed. Indian families turned
