As We See 1t
 by THE STAFF

The effects of the Taft-Hartley Law, and reports on recent confer ences with the Connecticut chapter of the Associated General Contrac- tors will be considered at the execu- tive board meeting of the State Building Trades Council, to be held in New Haven Wednesday, July 2 at 10 AM. A full attendance highly imperative.
 Rep. James T. Patterson of Nau- gatuck, who originally voted against the Taft-Hartley Bill, changed his mind and voted with the rest of COnn.'s representatives to reject President Truman's veto. Patterson ought to make up his mind. He can't be a mugwump, which has been defined as bird setting on a fence with its wump sticking out over one side, and its wump over the other.
 Little bills by Hartley,
 Little bills by Taft,
 Make me wonder sometimes.
 If congressman are daft;
 
 Or if they're simply doing
 What their bosses tell them to,
 Trying to take our unions.
 Away from me and you.
 Because we've found them useful
 In raising up our pay
 A practice unAmerican

 The Daughters of the American Revolution have gone cOurageOusIy on record in favor of all immi- grants who arrived on the Mayflow- CT. They still wonder, however, how an emiently respectable man like George Washington could have been mixed up in something so dis reputable as a revolution.

A.F.L. Sees Many Booby Traps In New "Rent" Bill
Also Kills Last Vestiges Of Veteran Emergency
 Housing

One of the strongest statements ever issued by the American Fede- ration of Labor went out this week in opposition to rent-control legis- Iation worked out by a conference committee of the House and Sen- ate.
 Housing has been one of the most cherished babies" of the A. F. of L., for various reasons. One is that it wants to secure homes for workers, and another is that virtually all build ing tradesmen are members of the A. F. of L.
 Before the war the A. F. of L. set up a special committee on housing, headed by Harry Bates, president of the Bricklayers, and in and out of season the committee has been advocating housing program that would provide shelter for millions now in desperate need-with spec ial emphasis on the plight of the veterans and their families.
 "The public should realize" the Bates committee says, "that the adoption of the proposed law will prove the end of effective rent con trol, and produce a widespread in crease in rents and wholesale evictions of those unable to pay higher rent
 ssThe bill wipes out any effec- tive rent and eviction controls and destroys the, last vestige of the veterans emergency housing program"
 FORCE INCREASES
 A provision permitting landlords to "negotiate' a voluntary IS per cent rent increase, the statement warns, twill permit landlords throughout the country to force Is per cent across the-board rent hikes on the 16 million families who have relied on rent con- troll The statement adds:
 'sNo controls whatever remain on newIy-rented or newly-buiIt housing. Moreover, rent control exemption is granted any owner of rental accommodations who makes even a minor change in the unit.
 Eviction control is placed in the hands of the states, and state laws now require 30-day notice only, whereas Federal controls have provided for a six-month notice
 ssThe bill also calls for the crea- ton of local rent boards to recom-

Veto Vote Stirs Bid For Political Action By Labor
Wol Asks Political League MG Urges Election
 Drive

CLEVELAND, OhiO-The Amer ican Federation of Labor was urged this week to call an emergency con- ference of the presidents of all affiliated unions and set in motion campaign looking to the election in 1948 of "a Congress upon whom the people of this country can rely"
 The demand for AFL action on the political front was made by the convention of the International Ladies' Garment Workers Union immediately after the unions president, David Du- binsky, had denounced the overriding of President Truman's veto of the Taft-Hartley labor bill as "a snake bite into the very heart of our .Ameri- can liberties"
 THIRD PARTY?
 The conventions resolution recom- mended that the conference of AFL leaders seek to establish cooperation and joint action with all labor and bona-fde liberal forces" toward the election of pro-labor Congress. It also advocated third-party action on a local basis where the Republicans and Democrats failed to put forward progressive candidates.
 That the demand for more aggres- sive political action by the AFL would receive strong backing within the federation's high command was indicated in a convention speech by Matthew Woll, AFL vice-president.
 He urged formation of ''labor ! Continued on Page Three)

New Movie Camera Can Take
] III Million Pictures a Second

NEW YORK.-A new motion pic
ture camera. which takes II million
pictures q second, was shown to the
Society of Motion Picture engineers
by DR.. Brian O'Brien Of the Univer-
sity Of Rochester. In the resulting
slow motion, a rifle bullet takes
about one minute to move one inch
on a motion picture screen.
These pictures are good for sci
ence, but unfortunately not good for
motion picture audiences. They are
blurry. This blurring interferes with
the pleasure of looking at fast
things, but not with the ability to
make scientific observations and
measurements with new accuracy.
The camera does away with shut
ters. which ordinarily open as each
frame is photographed and closes
while it moves on for the next. Sub
stitute6 is complicated system of
lenses. These lenses dissect the ;m-
ages into fine strips Each strip is a
single thin line of light in the
camera.

Il. 5. Plane Nears
Speed Of Sound
Army's First Rocket Ship
approaches Sonic Wall
In Test Flights.

ARMY AIR BASE, CALF. The
Omitted States arnny's first rocket
ship has come closer to the speed Of
sound than any plane in the world.
Making almost daily runs at this
army test base, the Bell XS-1 sew
era1 times has come within less than
10 per cent Of hitting the sonic bar
rier, which ranges from 76l miles
an hour at sea level to 663 at IS, coo
feet.
It's nearest competitor. the blood
red Douglas Skystreak, now holds
the world record at 65O.6 miles an
hour and burned through the course
for one downwsnd pass of $40. De-
spite closest army censorship Of
these figures, the Skystreak still was
believed further from the sonic wall
than the Bell plane.
That Is Fixed Up.
Early runs Of the rocket ship, ac-
cordine to its first pilot, revealed a
tendency for the tail to flip over the
nose at high speed. but this appears
now to have been corrected, and
most engineers feel the XS-1 viii
slide through the uncharted zone in
the near future.
The peril in this zone has bafied
designers ever since motors became
powerful enough to slam the craft
through.
Just as water at 80 degrees turns
to Ice and completely changes char
aeter, air at the speed Of sound be-
comes different.
At lower speed, the plane pushes
little cushion Of air ahead Of It's
nose and wings, and the air parts
gently and slides by. At sonic speed
the cushion won't push.
The air becomes brittle and file:
into chunks, leaving the plane nC
path to travel in. experts said.
Such Behavior!
As the British discovered in theil
record attempts. plane going bet
ter than 800 miles an hour suddenl,
may take of at right angles, LEAF
straight up in the air or disintegratt
completely.
German va rockets travelling bet
ter than 1000 miles an horr some
times tunlbled end-over-end or spu
like rifle shells-some to the left an,
some to the right.
Any pilot inside would have t
come down dead, experts said.
Greatest danger lies in the trans
sonic zone, where some Of the air /
behaving like air is supposed to, ant
some is behaving like supersoni
air.
Designers were faced with build
ing combined speedboat and ice
breaker-a plane that will fly in nor
NAL air and still not shatter on tn
wan of sound.
Once through the danger zone
Bell engineers feel. the XS-1 win g
on to its designed speed of Ito
miles an hour without difficulty.
