In the two previous articles we eX-
planned why group insurance IS only a
step-even though and important step
in the direction Of health security.
Many union leaders as well as doctors
who are sympathetic to unions ieei
that group insurance may sometimes
do more harm than good by creating
. false sense Of security IN the part
of union members, so that they can
see the necessity for working for some
thing better.
What is better than group lnsur-
anceo What arrangements are most
likely to give union members more
and better protection against illness
not related TO the job? The answer
has three main parts.
First. the prepayment insurance
plan should pay off in medical service

'AFL Follows Peace Bid
With Charge Of Clio
Raiding in South
By james Y. Newton
Sfor Sfaff Correspondent

MIAMI, Feb. 1.-The Ameri-
can Federation of Labor today
bitterly accused the Congress
of Industrial Organizations of
raiding it's unions in the South,
a day after the AFL Executive
Council invited its big rival to
participate in a peace and unity
conference.
Raiding charges were hurled
against the CIO in a report of pro-
gress of the AFL's Southern organ
izing drive in which it was claimed
that more than 10000 new MEM
bers had been enrolled in AFL unions
in seven months.
AS the Executive Councils winter
meeting recessed for the week end,
AFL leaders withheld further COM
met on the unity" front pending re-
ceipt of an answer from CIO Presi-
dent Philip Murray to their sugges-
ton for meeting to discuss ANAL
gamation of the two big organiza-
| tionS.
CIO In Second Phase"
The CIO also has been carrying
on an intensive organizing campaign
in the South. In his report on pro-
gress of the drive, George L. Googe,
AFL campaign chairman, declared
the CIO had given up organizing
nonunion plants and were concen-
trating efforts on raiding AFL shops.
"CIO is now laying off organizers
and going into so-called second
phase OF their campaign which
stripped of it's verbiage seems to
mean that they are pulling in their
horns and executing a retreat from
their initial hopes of capturing the
South, Mr.. Googe said. Announce
ment was made early in January
that the second phase would be
turned over, to local groups and
councils for execution"
He added, "the failure of the CIO
in the organizing schemes mapped
out in it's original plans has been
conspicuous. We believe it now pro-
poses to fall back on raiding y

major effort has been to try anc
raid our unions rather than concen-
trate on the unorganized."
Will Watch for Pact ExpiratiOns.
Mr. Googe warned AFL leaders
that "the CLIO will be watching like
yultures for contract expiration
dates on big industries organized by
u.s." He cited several examples OF
CIO raids on big AFL plants, some
of which were successful, saying:
1.-THE rear-guard action and the
sneak attack has been employed by
CIO on a number of occasions dur
ing the campaign and there will be
much more of this
In announcing the AFL had add
ed 10000 new Southern members
since the drive began, Mr.. Googe
said about 10000 had been added in
formal National Labor Relations
Board elections. He said that only
about one out of four AFL recogni-
tion cases went through NLRB ma
chinery. He attached list show
ing about 100 AFL internationals
had profited from the Southern
drive.
Employer Hostility Charged.
Mr.. Googe charged that in nu-
merous instances, concentrated gen.
orally in small communities, South
ern employers were hostile to union
ization and used the strongest and
most menacing" means to defeat the
union. He said there was every
evidence that the plan was centrally
organized and directed"
He accused many small town
newspapers of being even more ac-
tive than employers in their efforts
to defeat organized labor.
"In view of the national clamor
about the one-sidedness' of the
Wagner Act" Mr.. Googe said, "the
topheavy control of the courses OF
public information in one-newspaper
towns on labor issues might be
worthy Of, congressional lttention.'
He, said the AFL campaign had
been ,ssingularIy free of. strikes" and
conceded tk1sir record had been
"marred slightly by one or two
rather foolhardy and tinjustified
strikes"

Indian Constitution
Deadlock MayPr Prolone
Control by Britain
BY The Assoeiaied Press

NEW DELHI, Feb. 1.-The dead
lock on India's constitution writing
processes grew even tighter today
with the likelihood that it would
|prolong the British stay in the huge
subcontinent.
The executive committee of the
Moslem League announced at
Karachi yesterday that it not only
would continue to boycott the Con-
stituent Assembly but demanded
dissolution of this Congress Party
controlled trump" assembly and its
proceedings declared invalid.
Moslem Leaguers in New Delhi
predicted that the next step would
be demand that a separate Con-
stituent Assembly for provinces with
Moslem majorities be organized
a move sure to be resisted by the
Congress Party.
A league source said the British
government must take speedy, de-
termined action Immediately. If it
allows a policy Of drift to continue
it cannot prevent bloodshed."
British Reaction Unknown.
There appeared little doubt that
the Congress Party was determined
to force constitution for India
through the present Assembly, and
should the British attempt to dis
solve it the Congress Party would
continue the sessions elsewhere.
What reaction would be forth
coming from the British was ques-
tionable, but it was recalled that
the British statement December 6
said a constitution framed without
the cooperation of Mohamed Ali
Jinnah's Moslems would be unac-
ceptable. This statement was issued
at the end Of the conference of jim
nah and Jawaharla1 Nehru of the
Congress Party and other Indian
leaders with Prime Minister Attlee
when efforts to get the two parties
together in the Assembly failed.
A large part of the difficulty in
the efforts to achieve Indian inde-
pendence, which has been marked by
crisis after crisis, IS the repeated ex-
preston of lack of faith of the Mos
lens in the Congress Party.
Hindus Not Trusted.
Moslems customarily refer to 1t
as the Hindu Congress" although
it contains many other elements, in
cluding Nationalist Moslems.
AS one Mos1em Lacquer put it to-
day, "the irony of it is that We are
standing in the way of our freedom
and we know it. The policy we are
following means that the British
must stay longer. But there is no
single instance which we can point
out that shows we should trust the
Hindus." ..--
This distrust, which the Moslems
say rises from Hindu oppression of
Moslems in every walk of life, has
given rise to the Moslem demand for
Pakistan independence for the
provinces with Moslem majorities.
The Moslem Leagues decision to
stand by It's rejection of the British
cabinet mission plan for Indian in

Taylor Hits Taft Group
For Delaying Report
BY the Associated Press

Senator Taylor. Democrat, OF
Idaho, last night charged Chairman
Taft and other members of the Con-
IgressionaI Economic Committee with
failure to comply with the law and
called on them to do so or resign.
Senator Taylor said in state
ment that if taking "a elear-cut
position" on economic matters be-
fore the committee involves per-
sonal embarrassment to Mr.. Taft's
candidacy for other Offices, he should
not have accepted this chairman
ship" Senator Taft is considered
la possible presidential candidate.
The Senate House Economic COM
mittee was created by the 1946 En-
|ployment Act It is required to re-
port to Congress early in the ses-
sion on economic legislation, and
Senator Taylor declared the COM
mittee had failed to comply"
Senator Taft was not available
for comment but his Office staff re-
ferred to the report he presented
Friday.
In that report, Senator Taft ex-
planned that five members of the
committee had not been reelected
and the new committee had not
had time to obtain staff or make
a complete study OF all the recon-
Imendations by President Truman or
his economic advisers.
Senator Taft added that short
range recommendations" of the
President already were under study
by congressional committees. He
said these included extension Of rent
control, a long-range housing pro-
gram, a higher minimum wage and
increased coverage, revision Of So
cial security, possible tax reductions,
and labor management relations.
The long-range program for pre-.
venting depressions, Senator Taft
continued, was complex but would
get full attention.

July 21st, 1912, as compared to
the previous year. 1t continued
to decrease a little each succeed
ing year during the war. This
past year, from July 21st, 1916
to July 21st, 1916, it decreased
81 percent from 1871. We feel
that the curfew ordnance and plac-
ing the responsibility on parents
and Furnishing those directly res
ponsible for the delinquency and
neglect of children were big fac
tors in curtailing our delinquency.
So, summing it up, | sincerely
believe that reasonable curfew
laws, and they must be reason
able to be workable, and punish
ing those directly responsible for
the delinquency of minors, whether
they be the parents or someone
else, is the solution to the curtail-
ment of juvenile delinquency, not
only in Iowa, but in any commun-
ity. Our children are our most
priceless possessions. 1t is, our
duty and the duty of every citi-
zen to guide and to protect them,
for the juveniles of today will
be the citizens of tomorrow.

l am going to give you the
figures on juvenile delinquency
in Clinton for the first year after
July 21st, 1912, when the first
mothers were put in Jail and
when the curfew orders were put
into effect, as compared to the
figures for the previous year,
from July 21st, 1941, to July 21st,
1912. and you can see for your
self what the result has been
in Clinton. During the war there
were from $500 to $500 soldiers
in Clinton and in the immediate
vicinity of Clinton. Schick Gener-
al Hospital was located in Clinton
and the Savanna Ordnance Depot
was located just 20 miles north
of Clinton. Soldiers from the hos
pital and the ordnance depot were
on the streets of the city in
large numbers both daily and
nightly; Clinton was not only
military area but it was also
designated as an industrial area.
With juvenile delinquency on the
upward trend all over the coun-
try and particularly in military
areas, one would expect delin-
quency to be on the increase in
Clinton during the war. We are
happy to be able to say that
juvenile delinquency decreased 25
percent the first year following

National Urban League noted that
the Veterans Employment Ser

report stated, expressed "a lack

the numerous conferences held by
Urban League officials with VA,

facilitate placement of Negro vet
Grams and to eliminate discrimi-

not with the approval of the rank

We are rapidly reaching the
time when loyal Americans must
be willing to stand up and be
counted. The American Commun-
ist Party, despite it's claims, is
not truly political party. The
Communist Party in the country
is not working for the general
welfare of all our people - it is
working against our people. 1t is
not interested in providing for the
common defense. 1t has for its
purpose the Stacking of Ameri-
ca and its conversion to the Cod
less, Communist way of life. If
1t were a political party it's adj
herents could be appealed to by
reason. Instead, 1t IS a system
of intrigue, actuated by fanati-
cism. 1t knows no rules of de-
eency. It's unprincipled converts
could sell America short if it
would help their cause of fur
thering an laien way of live con-
aeived in darkness and motivated
by greed for power whose ultim-
ated aim is the destruction of our
cherished freedom. Let us no
longer be misled by their sly
propaganda and false preachments
on civil liberty They want civil
license to do as they please and,
if they get control, liberty for
Americans will be but a haunted
memory. For those who seek to
revoke prejudice and stir up the
public mind to angry resentment
against our form of government
are a menace to the very powers
of law and order which guarantee
and safeguard popular rights.
We, of this generation, have
aced two great menaces in Am
erica - Fascism and Communism.
Both are materialistic, botu are
totalitarian; both are anti-religi-
Gus; both are degrading and in
human. In fact, they differ little
except in Communism has
bred Fascism and Fascism spawns
Communism. Both are the anti
thesis of American belief in liber-

of other countries want Commun-

no place in America.

refer to the growing menace of
Communism in the United States.
During the past five years
American Communists have made
their deepest inroads upon our
national life. In our Wanted to-
erance for all peoples the Com
munist has found our Achilles
heel" The hypocrisy and ruth
lessness of this foreign ism" has
crept into our national life-an
ism" built and supported by dis
honor, deceit, tyranny and del
iberate policy of falsehood.
1t is a matter of self-preserva,
ton. The veteran who fought for
America will be among the fisrt
to suffer if the Communists sue
coed in carrying out their dab
olical plots to wreck the Ameri-
can way of life. The divide and
conquer" tactics did not die with
Hitler - they are being employ
ed with greater skill today by
American Communists with their
boring from within" strategy.
Their propaganda, skillfully de-
signed and adroitly executed, has
besn projected into practically
every phase of our national life.
The fact that the Communist
Party in the United States claims
some 100000 members has lulled
many Americans into a feeling of
false complacency. l would not
be concerned if we We're deal
ing with only 100000 Communists.
The Communists themselves boast
that for every Party member
there are ten others ready to do
the Party's work. These include
their satellites, their fellow trav-
elers and their so-called progress
sive and phony liberal allies.
They have maneuvred themselves
into positions where a few Com
munists control the destinies of
hundreds of thousands who are
either willing to be led or have
been duped into obeying the die
tates of others.
Between Communist Pincers
The average American working
man is loyal, patriotic and law
abiding. He wants security for his
family and himself. But in some
unions the rank and file find
themselves between a Commun-
ist pincers, manipulated by
few leaders who have hoodwinked
and browbeaten them into a state
admission. Communist labor lead
ers have spared for time in
their labor deliberations to refer
matters of policy to Communist
Party headquarters for clearance.
In fact, resolutions have been de-
layed pending such approval and
contemplated strikes have been
postponed until adequate Commun-
list support and backing were av-
ailable.
The Communist influence has
projected itself into some news
magazines, books, radio
and screen. Some churches, and
