U. N. Employees Join Group Life Insurance Plan

During the past few weeks all staff members on the Headquarters payroll of the United Nations were given an opportunity to join a group life insurance program un- derwritten through the Aetna Life Insurance Company of Hartford, Conn. 1e
 The installation of the plan was handled by the Bureau of Personnel and marks one more step in rounding out 6 security program for the staff members of United Nations.
 The insurance is made available without medical ex- animation, age limitation or waiting period and provides 5000 life insurance for staff members without dependents and $20OO life insurance for those members with depend ents on a contributory basis, with staff members paying part of the premium and the United Nations the balance.
 The insurance history this case is unique as it covers a staff recruited from over 50 member nations who retain their own nationality. and ev- cry staff member has the priv ilege of converting to regular life insurance on termination of employment without med ical examination.
 The plan was received with considerable enthusiasm by a high percentage of the secre- tariat and became effective May 5, 1947.

 The series on "Nazi Conspiracy and Aggression" is now complete less than two years after the un- conditional surrender of Germany to the Allies, and settles for pOS- terity the question of "war gull" which remained a moot question for so long after the close of World War I.
Eastern Connecticut news., 1947-05-24

In addition, the eighth volume of the series includes a collection of affidavitS by figh-ranking Ger man generals describing the plan to asSaSsina.e the French General Giraud, as well as the nature of the anti-Hitler movement within the Army, tae basic German plan to eliminate the Jews, and the per- formance of medical experiments on human beings.
 Among other significant mate rials published in the final volume are detailed statements by several of the military defendants, includ- ing a defense by Admiral Doenitz of the methods of German Subma- rine warfare, and 8 discussion by General Jodl of German war guilt.
 The volume also contains the story. by Nicholas Horthy. Jr., son of the former Regent of Hungary. of why Hungary went to war against the Soviet Union. Also pulp liShed are the final messages left by Dr. Robert Ley, NaZi labor chief, before he took his life in Nuremberg prison, which conclude that the crucial mistake of the Hitler regime was it's anti-Semit- ism.
 Pointing up a study of the in tricate structure of Nazi Germany are nineteen charts depicting the organization of the Nazi Party. the Nazi State, the SS. Wehrmacht and other leading agencies. Many of the charts were prepared under the direction of the defendants in the war crimes trials.

Sound Advice From Sen. Baldwin
 Senator Raymond E. Baldwin. a 'first-termer" from Connecticut, a Republican, made 8 remarkably good labor speech before tie En- gineering Association of Yale, the Ivy League" university from which Baldwin himself graduated.

 Progressive Republicans protest ed. They don't like to have the anti-labor label attached to their party by their own national com mittee.
 Wagner Defends Labor
 The debate brought forth some great speeches. One by Senator Bob" Wagner Oem.. N. Y) was particularly significant. because he was the father of the Wagner Act, which would be changed by the bill and wrecked by some of the amendments.
 ''I shall vote against the bill" Wagner said. "As I see it, the bill Is untimely. trOuble-making, reactionary, unfair and unduly political.
 ''We are new i'm a period of goOd relations between labor and management. This bill would disarrange these relations just as they are settling down.
 ''The bill seeks to strip workers of hard-earned rights which are at the core of industrial freedom. It brands all labor as a culprit.
 Evils Are Elsewhere
 ''The bill resurrects the propos- als advanced by the opposition from the beginning of the effort to afford legal protection to the rights of workers.

 "NOw the industrial BOurbOns seek a return to a social order where whole classes are perpetu- ally condemned to suffer under economic. social and political discrimination"
 Senator Harley M Kilgore, Dem., W. Va) urged the Senate to postpone action on the labor bill, so there would be time to "clarify the issues at stake"

 Tt seems to me that not only garment workers. but all work CTS, should have reasonable vaca- tions," Morse said. After many years of striving to gain this Ob- jective, the garment workers now have a vacation plan which would be illegal under the amendment.
 ''Why should this suddenly be- come . crime. when there has been ne objection frem the em- pleyers or the employees?"
 Senator Ebert ID. Thomas (Dem.. Utah) spoke feelingly against the Ball amendment to wipe out the NOrris-LaGuardia Act.
 No Justice for Workers
 It would reintroduce all the confusion. all the unfairness and injustice which grew up before the anti-injunction act became law" Thomas declared.
 T am fearful about a return to those conditions. It would mean absolutely no justice for the la boring man who undertook to strike. We are taking 8 step as backward as any step we have taken in the history of our coun- try"
 Thomas recalled a fact which seems forgotten by Ball and other packers of this particular amendment-the NOrris-LaGuar- dia Act was passed during the Republican administration of President HOOver." and both Senator Norris and Congress- man LaGuardia were Republi- cans.

School Reform to
Be Tried in Sweden

STOCKHOLM new educa-
tional system will be tried out in
the fall in the Swedish elemen-
tary schools. At first it will be
applied only at the Blommensberg
School, outside Stockholm, but if
it proves successful it will be in
troduced generally. The reform
includes less homework for the
children and better contact be-
tween teachers and the homes.
Relations between teachers and
pupils will be less formal, too.
The pupils will be asked to regard
their teacher as an experienced
friend, to whom they can turn
with confidence when they want
advice or help. However, he
are told that the price for their
new freedom is consideration to-
ward each other, and that the
quality of their home work must
not decline. AS far as possible
the tuition, especially in geogra-
ply, biology, and art will be bas-
ed on first-hand observations
from nature. Motion pictures, the
radio, and the gramophone will al
so be uesd to a much greater ex-
tent than hitherto.
