Higher Utility Rates
Protested by Group

Proposed utilities rate increases
IN the District were protested last
night by the Cathedral Heights
Cleveland Park Citizens Associa-
ton.
Resolutions were passed opposing
the threat of higher fares brought
out by the Capital Transit Co. at its
wage arbitration hearing on Mon
day, and the requested telephone
rate increase.
The increased rates would not
necessarily constitute lot of
money to the individual" R. c..
Wales, president of the association,
declareds But If one utility gets
such an increase, it will start
chain reaction
The association agreed to use
5000 left from the Civilian Defense
funds for memorial to World War
II heroes or some other area i'm
provement, rather than donate the
entire amount to the Community
Chest. The areas defense council
will determine how the money is to
be used at the associations next
meeting on November Is.
o. B. French criticized the recent
proposal to rezone the Mclean

You are leaving yourselves open
for future worries by permitting
this move" he said: In the first
place, the apartment cafeteria is
permitted without being in COM
mercial zone, so I cannot see why
this area needs rezoning"

in the next two years and the crea-

report represents further whit

Declaration and the League of Ma

BILE Jewish organizations and repre-
sentatives of the Jewish Commun-
ity in Palestine have signified their
willingness to consider the recon-
mendations, with minor territorial
adjustments, as basis for the final
settlement of the problem.
"This convention notes with
qualification that on October IL,
the representative of the United
States at the United Nations Off
cially put our government on rec
ord as supporting, with some terri
torial notifications, the majority
report of the United Nations Spe-
cial Committee on Palestine. The
American representative also stated
that our government is willing to
participate through the United Ma
tions, in providing aid to meet eco
nomic and financial problems and
the problem of internal law and
order during the transition period.
"This statement is certainly in
line with the traditional American
stand on the Palestine problem
since 1917. 1t will be welcomed by
all freedom-loving people who have
always given their aid and support
to the struggle for Jewish aspira-
tions for statehood in Palestine"

e at Less Taft
Foffens Himself
For White House

Washington (LPA)-Sen. Rob-
ert "Eat Less" Taft (R., Ohio)
became presidential candidate last
week and his formal announce
ment surprised no-one in the coun-
try any more than it did Taft him
self.
What was of greater interest to
organized labor was that Taft, in
a speech in Dayton, Ohio, repeat
ed his argument that the Taft
Hartley law was "the mandate of
the people" and that it meant the
emancipation of labor"
In Cincinnati, Taft made it clear
that he favored the COPS "aid-
the greedy; rob-the-needy" tax pro-
gram "even if it has to override
the Presidents Veto" The bill was
vetoed twice.
Since he returned from his
"pulse- taking" tour of the west,
Taft has said nothing about social
legislation, about his own housing
bill, about broadened social securi-
ty benefits, increase in minimum
wakes, or such issues as FEPC,
anti-poll tax and antl-lynching.

conditions.
In addition, drive will be laun-
ched to insure that control of re-
cruitment and placement of farm
labor remains in the hands of the
u. S. Employment Service. The
"big farmers" of the country, rep
resented thru the American Farm
Bureau Federation, are expected to
try to block funds to USES, and
also to drive for the continued i'm
portation of foreign farm labor
from Mexico and the Caribbean
area, in order to undercut any con-
nection between hiring for indus
try and for farms.
In view of the temper of Con-
gress, the Council decided to con-
centrate on state and local pro-
grams to expand health services,
day-care centers for children, and
adequate schooling.
Regulation of labor contractors
who hire and transport groups of
workers from one job to another
will be proposed. DR.. Paul Taylor
of the University of California, an
authority on migrant labor, point
ed out that one of the greatest haz-
ards to workers families is the
crowding of dozens of men, women
and children into open trucks,
transporting them for thousands of
miles without food or rest stops,
from job to job.
Migrant workers have never re-
ceived the benefits Of legislation
that other workers take for grant
ed, Taylor emphasized. He listed,
for instance, the Fair Labor Stan
dards Act (Which exempts agri-
cultural workers), public housing
legislation, workmen's compensa-
tion laws, listing of job opportun-
tiles by the federal and state en-
ployment services, social security
benefits, compulsory school atten-
dance requirements.
The new Councils formation was
delayed for one day when spokes-
men for left-wing organizations,
: including Donald Henderson of the
Food, Tobacco & Agricultural
4 Workers-CIO and members of the
/ Unitarian Service Committee, in
sisted on broadening" of the spon-
sors to include them. Mitchell, of
the AFL farm labor union, told the
meeting that 81 will never sit on

Washington (LPA) - The mil

search of farm and food processing
Jobs have a new and powerful de-
fender in the halls of Congress, in
federal and state agencies. 1t is the
Natl Citizens Council on Migrant
Labor.
Sponsors of the new organiza-
ton, which came out of a two-day
special conference here, include
President H. l.. Mitchell of the
Natl Farm Labor Union-AFL and
George LIP. Weaver of the ClO
Committee to Abolish Discrimina-
tion. Most of the participants in
the conference were from church
groups doing home missions work
among migrant workers, local civic
and women's organizations that are
vitality concerned with migrants in
their states, and educators.
Need for speed in setting up
working group was emphasized by
all of the speakers, who warned
that January 80, 1948 marks the
end of the federal farm labor
camps by decree of Congress which
cut off Agriculture Dept funds
for this purpose, thus forcing
thousands of workers on the high
ways or into private labor camps.
The new Council will work for
sale or lease of the 122 migrant
camps involved to public agencies
and non-profit organizations of far
mers, in order to protect the work
ers who have found these camps

Jim Grow Rent
B st Rejected

Washington (LPA) - Housing
Expediter Frank Creedon, target
of attack by organized labor for
his ruling that he has no discre-
tion to disapprove rent ceiling
boosts and rent decontrol recon-
mended by local boards, this week
turned down a proposal that rents
of Negro tenants in st. Petersburg,
Fla, be boosted about 501o.
Creedon turned down the JIM
Grow rent boost on the grounds
that the present rent control law
does not permit "an increase de-
pendent upon the race and color
of the tenant"
The dwellings of Negro families
covered by the local boards recon-
mendations rent for about 81 a
week for a three-room unit. The
rent boost would have raised rents
25c a room per week when the
landlord does not furnish water,
and 35c a room per week when
water is furnished.
Also rejected as mot being SUBJ
stantiated" by the local rent advis-
ory boards were proposals for de-
control Of Mcpherson County, Kan
sas, and a 1870 increase in Dick
inson and Salina Counties, Kansas.
Creedon approved the first de-
control of a whole rental area
Ottawa County, Kansas-covering
795 family dwelling units, on the
grounds that "the demand for con-
tinuing maximum rental housing
accommodations has been reason
ably met" The local board held
public hearings, and reports that

Donald Richberg
Also Anfi-FEPC

Washington (LPA) Donald
Richberg, well-known lawyer who
claims credit for breaking the 1916
railroad strike, is now on record
defending Americans constitution
al right to discriminate in employ
ment because of difference in relig-
ious beliefs.
Lighting fires of religious con-
flict" thru attacks on permanent
FEPC legislation was attacked by
Coz Chairman Allan knight Chal-
mers and A. Philip Randolph in an
answer to Richberg last week.
Richberg's assertion "will have
the effect of strengthening the sup
port which all major religious
groups have given fair employment
legislation and the ves-Chavez bill
in particular" the permanent FE
PC advocates predicted.
zone of Mr.. Richberg's law clerks
could have told him that the bill
does not attempt to legislate
against religious beliefs nor against
prejudice, which is an emotion in
the minds of men. 1t simply pro-
vides safeguards against the ex-
preston of prejudice in acts of
discrimination which would deny or
limit employment on account of
race, religion, color, national orr
gin or ancestry. 1t cannot be COM
pared with prohibition, but it can
be compared with the laws against
driving while drunk"

a contract and submitted it to the
ITU for approval, but that never
occurred. He denied that it was
ITU policy not to sign any kind of
agreement.
Randolph asserted that "Any no
strike clause is an insult to the
ITU." He said that the ITU has 854
locals, of which GOT have so men,
bers or less. "The destruction of
each," he said, "could be accom-
plished by injecting non-union fore
men in a small local. The hiring of
one or two non-union key men and
the kind of pressure in a way which
could not be proved or detected
would result in dissolution of that
small local."
The hearings, first of their kind
under the Taft Hartley law, may
be the basis for one of the first
court tests of the aft-Hartley
laws constitutionality.
