Christian Science Lecture Explains Power Of Healing

Harry C. Browne of New York City, member of the Board of Lect- ureship of The Mother Church, The First Church of Christ, Scientist, in Boston, Massachusetts, stated during his lecture Monday evening at the Troup Junior High School that to the spiritual demand of the Bible to love our neighbor as ourselves was the preeminent charge by Christ Jesus to Hove the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy strength, and with all thy mind (Luke 10:27). It is the love of and worship of matter, the lowing down to mortal beliefs, that prevents the natural flow of spiritual ideas. en- bodying health and holiness to come from God to human consciousness, he said.
 If you let the ideas of Gods good ness flow freely from yourself to oth- CTS, there will be no stoppages or ob- structions in the body. Gallstones, indigestion, consumption, arthritis, SOlioIPdlIOlI dlC lliC lCSuIlS O1 WTOHS thinking; so too are all other dis cases"
 This gospel of Christianity healed the sick in Jesus time, and by scien- tifically understanding his teachings, which reveal mans oneness with the Father, the lost art of healing is be- ing restored
 This lecture was given under the auspices of First Church of Christ, Scientist, Winthrop & Derby Ayes.

Welfare Post In Cabinet Proposed

Legislation to establish new De- partment of Public Welfare to be headed by Secretary of Cabinet rank was endorsed this week by Watson Miller, Federal Security Administra- tor. The wide scope of present social security and public health laws makes such department a real necessity, Miller testified before the Senate Com mittee on Expenditures.
 Indicating he favored bill intro duced by Senator Aiken (R., Vt.) Mil Ter said that at present there is no one government department prepared to serve the citizen as an individual hu- man being" The organizational act, he added, should be "very simple leg islation" setting forth the departments charter It should be flexible, he said.

Weigh Boycott
 On Fake Registry

Chicago (LPA)-A two-day meet ing of the AFL Maritime Trades Dept here threatened last week to boycott all Panamanian ships in US. ports unless the government halts the wholesale transfer of American vessels to Panamanian registry.
 Representing 250,0O0 AFL maritime and transportation workers, the MID also threw its support behind new Great Lakes organizing drive of two of its afiliates, the Seafarers Intl Un- ion, and the Masters, Mates & Pilots.
 The boycott resolution pointed out that wartime construction of the US. merchant marnie cost the taxpayers $20 billion and the fleet is being deci- mated by the transfers.
 To-day the Republic of Panama" :" said the MID, "has merchant ma rine twice as large as it had prior to the war and by no stretch of the imag- irlation need Panama, which is not a seafaring nation, have this type of ton mage in connection with its export and import trade. American capital and foreign countries that transferred their ships under the Panamanian flag ob- viously did this for several reasons, namely to save taxes, to operate ships with cheaper crews and to aviod regu- lar steamboat inspection service. This condition not only weakens the Ameri- can merchant marine and puts thou sands of seamen and US. shipyard workers out of work, but also weakens the national defense"

Employers Will Also Suffer By NLRBBudgetCut
His Back Pay Liability In- creases With Delay In
 Handling Cases

WASHINGTON = (FP) = The House budget-cutters are simply court ing trouble by slashing 489o of NLRB funds from Pres. Truman's budget es- innate, NLRB Chairman Paul M. Herzog told Senate appropriations subcommittee this week.
 Arguing for full restoration of the House cut, which Herzog said House members admitted was made s'because they did not like the Wag- ner act,'' the NLRB chief showed the postwar caseload had sharply increased and the agency needs more people to do its job in settling disputes under the Wagner act.
 While the case load this year was growing by 609o Herzog said the NLRB had been forced to cut its staff more than 259o, making cases pile up still faster. Pending unresolved cases were 3,7OO on Jan. 1, 1o46; 4,6W on July I; 5,065 on Jan. 1, 1o47 and 5,307 on Mar. 1, 1o47.
 If things remain just as they are now without getting worse, HerzOs said, a contested representation case filed today would take six months to settle, while an unfair labor practise complaint contested by the employer would not be set. tied until November l948 at the earliest. These delays can lead to work stoppages by labor, and can increase the back pay liability of the employer if he is found in vio. lation of the law.

WASHINGTON = CPD = Look out for the big revolt that is being planned for April 28, all you who want lid on the rent you are paying!
 Pres. Arthur Binns of the Natl. Home & Property Owners Foundation this week alerted his followers in that real estate front group to ''rise and protect their rights to ownership on Rent Control Protest Day, designated as April 28.
 s'Rent control," said Binns, wealthy Philadelphia real estate king, ''has become the major objective of left-wing organiza- tions that are trying to impose a regimented socialized economy on the American people," He said permanent rent control is planned by powerful radical groups under the leadership of Henry Wallace and FiorellO La Cuardia."

Realty Lobby Not Exactly Short Of Cash
Spent $198, ,451 Last Year, And Will Probably Spend
 More In 1947

WASHINGTON - The National Home and Property Owners Founda- tion, one of the organizations lobbying persistent1y against rent control and public housing, spent $44 $, ,443.45 in the first quarter of 1o47, according to a report filed with Congress.
 The foundation has two Senator members, Albert w. Hawkes. (R., N. J.) and John w. Bricker (R., O., both of whom have been work ing at this session for a 10 per cent general rent boost. Two paid lob- byists and Washington headquar- ters organization of more than 30 persons are maintained.
 The report was submitted in com phance with the lobbying registration act. It also showed contributions for same period totaling $44,ll4.
 Seventeen of the contributions were in excess of $500 each. The largest single contribution was $I4OO given by Arthur w. Binns Ot Philadelphia, president of the foun' datiOn.
 For last year, the foundation ac- knowledged in an earlier report con tributions tota1ing $1o8,451.o1 and expenditures of 232,132.92.
 The foundation was established last year for the announced pur' pose of ''furthering the interests O1 home and property owners" While an independent organization, the foundation works closely with the National Assn. of Real Estate Boards. the National Home Build CTS Assn. and kindred groups. In fact. Herbert U. Nelson, the execu tive director of the NAREB, was in strumental in setting up the fOun datiOn.
 The chief target of the organization at the present time is the Taft-Ellen- der-Wagner housing bill. Joseph H Deckman. chairman of a special hous- ing committee of the foundation, re- gently testified against the measure. Public housing, Deckman contended, is "the keystone of State socialism Labor has shown that this is another case of the "old red herring.
 The organization, according to a spokesman, now has membership of 100000.

Contractors Not
 Quite So Jaunty As Unions Hold
Continued from Page One) MEMBERSHIP SOLID

"A meeting of our Union was held at the Labor Temple Wednesday evening, (April 16) and the members unanimously rejected the proposals of the contractors. They pointed out that the contractors now were offering less than they had offered before ne gotiations actually began. They also voted not to budge from their present stand, which is that the contractors can well afford the increase we are asking, and that this increase is more than justified by the increased cost of living, and by the profits being made by the industry.
 ssThere was a detailed discussion by the membership of plan where by the Union itself would under take to do painting and decorating work, dealing directly with the con- sumner. This is to be explored in greater detail.
 "On behalf of our Wage Policy Committee, may I reaffirm our stand We believe that this controversy can be settled in very short order if the contractors will bargain in good faith. Our Local has had good contractural relations with management for over half a century. We. wish to maintain this relationship, if the contractors will deal with us in good faith.
 ssWe recognize our responsibility to the community, and hope that the contractors soon will realize theirs.
 Sincerely,
 SAUL KREAS,
 Business Representative

"EOUAL RICHTS''

"EQUAL RICHTS''
 Congress has before it right now a bill proposing to wipe out dis criminatiOn against women without at the same time abolishing the hard-won labor laws protecting women in industry. Representatives of both major political parties are sponsoring the bill and it's just the kind of measure all women ought to support. Only they don't.
 The National Woman's Party still is pushing for the equal rights amend ment which it has been submitting to Congress every year since women got the vote. This amendment, if tackled on to the constitution, would provide complete legal and job holding equal ity, regardless of sex, which sounds fine Only it would also abolish all the legal projections for women now on the books, a matter which doesn't seem to bother the members of the party particularly. It's worth noting that the party is made up and financed Uy uPpCl- l-NldSS WOlI1ClI ull1dlllIlldl WILL the needs of workers.
 BIOLOGICAL DIFFERENCES
 One of the things that seems to bother the members of the National Woman's Party about the new meas ure is that it comes right out and says women are different from men. It asks that it be the declared policy of the U. s. that in law and its administra- ton no distinction on the basis of sex shall be made except such as are req sonab1y justified by differences in phy- sical structure, or biological or social function"
 Working women are perfectly willing to admit differences in physical structure" if it means seats at their machines and better washroom facilities. Personally we'd like to see equal pay and equal op- pOrtunity made the law of the land, with adequate maternity leave and factory nurseries tackled on also to take into account biological or social function.'

Millions Need To Support Themselves And Help

No government can afford to ignore women workers in its overall planning This view is expressed by the Women's Bureau, U. s. Department of Labor in its annual report to Secretary oi Labor Schwel1enbach.
 Evidence of the nations dependence on women, the Bureau pointed out was the fact that during the war women made Up third of all workers further, the 16 million in the labor market today represent close to 2e percent of all employed persons. Prior to the war, women accounted for about fourth of the total labor force.
 DEPENDENT INDUSTRIES
 Certain industries and occupations the report shows, are almost entirely dependent on women workers. In 1o40 women formed 75 percent of the na- tion's teachers, o8 percent of the nur- ses. two-thirds of the workers who waited on the public in restaurants and hotels, more than nine-tenths of the telephone operators and household employees.
 They also accounted for two-ffths of the operatives who made apparel and accessories.
 The Bureau described as an 'sun- warranted assumption the fre- quently made statement that with the end of the war women no long, CT had need for remunerative em- plOyment. Fully 75 percent of the women interviewed in a survey of I3,OOO women in 10 industrial areas expressed the desire for post war jobs.
