Radio Actors Thinking About Political Action
Taft-Hartley Law Forces Union To Protect Its
 Rights

New York (LPA) II A sharp change in the thinking of union radio actors is being compelled by the Taft Hartley law, 200 delegates to the an- nual convention of the American Fed eration of Radio Artists-AFL were told here last week by Natl Executive Secretary George He11er.A
 The convention, representing a membership of 27,00O in g cities, was reminded by Heller that "AFRA, like many another union, has in the past taken the stand that as labor organ ization we should concern ourselves solely with wages and working con- ditions and that political matters are outside our scope.
 ''After the experience of the past few months we realize we have to expand that point of view. It is no longer valid. Whether we like it or not" Heller continued, ''AFRA is now going to have to become in- terested in political matters. We are being forced to this position by the mdrcH OI eVentSs mere IS no longer any hard and fast line of division between politics and AFRA business.
 And we may as well rea1ize," the AFRA officer asserted, "that if we do not want to be stripped of our rights as working people, we will have to exert our utmost effort to preserve our union by working in close CO., operation with the AFL in its cam paign to repeal the Taft-Hart1ey law"
 Eventual amalgamation of AFRA, Equity Assn, Actors Equity and the Screen Actors Guild may be accelerated by the Taft-HartIey law, Heller said.

As We See It
 by THE STAFF

Some 200 people attended the last meeting of the New Haven Citizens Housing Council at the Labor Temple, and received help on their rent and housing prob lems. With President Louis Fein- mark presiding, the meeting unan- imously went on record favoring the passage by the Board of Alder men of the Councils resolution which would permit the City to loan funds to the Housing Author ity for the erection of more hOus- ing. Many questions were asked about the new Federal ''rent con- trol'' act, and the state Rent Con- trOl Act, which goes into effect when the Federal law expires. The personnel of the committees will be announced next week.
 No answer has yet been received by the New Haven Building Trades Council from the Council of Churches relative to a joint meet ing to discuss the use of union la- bor on church work. The letter was sent by the Building Trades to the Church Council received national publicity in the labor press
 As yet, neither the New Haven Register nor Journal-C Courier has printed story on this situation, although the Journal Courier in an editorial, criticized the Building Trades Council. Our thanks to the Bridgeport Herald for joining The Union Times in making the facts available to the public.
 A NEWARK (N. J.) NesOs re- porter, telling how a group of bar bers had agreed to close Wednes- days, wrote: ssThe regulations were drawn up to give those in the i'm dustry more time for recreation and to end cut-throat competition Labor Day will soon be with us. and leading members of Congress and of the Republican and Demo. cratic parties will issue statements praising organized labor to the sky. Our advice is: check the stand of these s'statesmen'' on the Taft. Hartley Law with their Labor Day statements.
 For instance: Gov. Dewey of New York has already issued his Labor Day statement, in which he approves IOO% of organized labor. Yet this gentleman did not raise his voice in protest against the Taft. Hartley Law, and signed a bill passed by the Legislature which makes it impossible for state and city employees to use their joint strength to improve their economic conditions. Again we say: Read the Labor Day statements of these gen. tlemen with many a grain of salt.
 Betty Crable, the gal with the pin-up pins, set precedent last week that may be dangerous to the future of the capitalist system. Bet ty, according to the Securities & Exchange Commission, made more money last year than her bOss-tc be exact, $299,333. (The boss took a humiliating $26O, ,OOO.) When tn,
