US. Seeks To End Cellophane Trust

WASHINGTON - (FP)-The E. I. duPont de Nemours Inc, long known for its international deals to keep prices up and competition down in the chemical field, was on the re- ceiving end of a federal government antitrust suit last week, charging it with unlawfully monopolizing the eel 1ophane industry in the US.
 By cartel arrangements with its friends abroad, Atty. Gen. Tom Clark said in announcing the civil court ac- tion, duPont kept foreign competition out of this country, and also restricted the production of its only American competitor. During 1946, gross sales of cellophane products here were $62 million, of which duPonts of Delaware got $46 million.
 All the government is asking, Clark said, IS that duPont "sel1 at reason able prices such of its plants as may be necessary to permit others to enter the cellophane field"

COP Promises
 Quick Vote On .FEPC Proposal

Washington LPA)-Sen. Rob- ert A. Taft, (R., Ohio) predicts that the Ives-Chavez-FultOn bill against discrimination in employment will be voted out favorably by the Sem ate Labor Committee early in Janu- ary. and that the COP leadership will defy a southern filibuster to pass the permanent FEPC bill in the Senate.
 The Taft prediction, indicating that the Republican leadership will try hard to win back Negro voters, was made when a delegation headed by A. Philip Randolph, president Of the Brotherhood of Sleeping Car Porters- AFL visited him this week. Randolph reported back to the board of directors of the Natl Council for Permanent FEPC.
 The FEPC bill will become law in 1948, Sen James Murray (D., Mont and Sen. Irving Ives (R., N. Y.) told dinner meeting of the FEPC sup porters. Orin Root, IT,, leader of young Republicans, presided at the session at which large delegation of labor officials was present.
 Halting of the permanent FEPC measures in the Senate has been the stumbling block in previous Congressional sessions. Southerners have filibustered, and until now neither the Democrats nor the Re publicans have been able to over ride a filibuster with rOund-the- clock sessions ending with twO- thirds vote in favor of clOture. Be- cause of the large proportion of southern Democrats in the Senate, it would require virtually every Re- publican and every northern Demo- crat to obtain clOture.
 A second delay, caused last July by sudden change in views of Sen. Alexander Smith (R., N. J.), key member of the Senate Labor Commit tee, has been ended. Smith this week told FEPC supporters that he will not insist on an amendment allowing states to "count themselves out" of the enforcement provisions of the bill to prohibit racial or religious discrim- ination in employment.

Schools Hit For
 Jim-Crow Policy

WASHINGTON-(FP) - Segre- gation in the public schools of Y states and the District of Columbia was criticized in report issued Dec. Is by Pres. Truman's Commission on Higher Education, which said that despite laws guaranteeing equal ad- vantages, inferior education is given to Negroes.
 Colleges and universities were cfiti- cized for the ''quota system" for ad- mission by which the commission said many of them deny learning to certain mlnorltieS, particularly Negroes and Jews."
 The commission, headed by Dr. George F. Took of the American Council on Education, recommended that segregation and the quota system be abolished, that free public educa- ton now available through high school, be extended through the first two years of college and that tuition fees for the last two years of college be lowered.
 The commission also urged exten- sion of federal financial help to double enrollments in colleges by 1o6O.

Theatrical Union Tackles Problem
 Of Unemployment

New York (LPA)-The problem of unemployed actors and the need for an expanded theatre to solve the job shortage was discussed here at the quarterly meeting of Actors Equity AFL last week
 The Economic Betterment Commit tee of the union reported on the re- commendation of economist Robert R. Nathan that the job problem can only be solved by "a healthy hourishing theatre on a year-round basis" and that Equity itself cannot cope with the situation. "What is needed" the state ment said, "is to get the collaboration of other unions, of producing organ izations and diversified groups of all kinds which will join in the overall plan to expand the theatre"
 Equity also announced plan to CO., operate with various other AFL un- ions in the fight against the Tart Hartley law and for the revival of an educational program within the union.

$12 Million Housing Project
 Financed By A.F.L. Union

PHILADELPHIA - CPD U A half million dollar housing project to provide urgently needed low rental apartments for workers in this city was authorized by the IA top leaders of the Upholsterers Intl. Union (AFL) at an executive board meeting here.
 Intl. Pres. Sal B. Hoffman was in structed to acquire a site and obtain drawings and estimates from archi- tects for the project, which was de- scribed as "an investment in public goodwill"
 Full cooperation of building trades unions was pledged, with an advisory committee of such unions to be set up under the chairman ship of Bus. Rep. James l.. Lough- lin of the Building X Construction Trades Council of Philadelphia.
 Sitting i'll at a meeting was Pres. James L. McDevitt of the Pennsy1- vania Federation of Labor, who said he expected an early easing of mate rialS shortages, but that construction costs are likely to rise rather than drop.
 ''There is great need in this city and throughout the nation for adequate housing," Hoffman said, especially rental apartments for ex-CIs and for families with chill dren as we'll as couples without them. We feel that our action in meeting even a small part of that need is a step forward.
 Not only do we recognize that con Struction of such apartments is a sound investment for future income, but we believe it will create greater goodwill between the general public and trade unions"

Frightened COP Abandons Plan
 To Tax Co-ops

Washington (LPA)-Proposals to tax co-ops has proved the hottest po- tato the Republican Congress has tried to handle this year, and as a result there will be no legislation this year calling for taxes on coop earnings or dividends.
 The House Ways X Means Com mittee, which held extensive hear ings on plans to kill the present tax exemption of farmers co-ops, has become completely frightened. Committee members discovered be- latedly how extensive farm and con- sumner cO-Ops are and how many votes their members may cast in next years elections.
 Rep. Harold Knutson (R, Minn. chairman of the Committee, was one of the first to get scared. Although he is author of two "rob- -the-poor" tax bills which were vetoed by President Truman, Knutson has favored coop taxation but he remembered as hear ings drew to a close that farmers CO., ops in his own state were stronger than anywhere else in the country.
 A PREDICAMENT!
 The COPS predicament was de- tailed by the New York Journal of Commerce, big business daily, which pointed out that "Spokesmen for farm

Families Of Ranch Strikers Evicted

BAKERSFIELD, Calf. -(FP) . Families of B striking members of the Natl. Farm Labor Union (AFL) were ordered evicted from their homes on the big strikebound Di Giorgio Ranch without being given time to get legal aid or find new homes.
 The notices were served on a Sat urday night and gave the families only three days, including Sunday, to show cause why they should not va cate their homes on the 20,0O0-acre ranch. Union spokesman Hank Hasi- war declared the evictions would be contested in court.

Public Pays For Labor-Baiting
 'Mahoney Says
(Continued from Page Onel

Continued from Page One) duce the debt is being used to propagandize in favor of spiraling prices"
 As O'Mahoney was speaking the NAM was announcing that its drive for $3,000,000 slush fund had reach ed $2,472, ,381, or more than 829o of the total. The NAM said that bosses in the southeastern states topped 100@o of their quota.
 PROFITS UP
 Corporate profits for the first nine months of this year ''are greater than the total profits of corporations for the 12 months of 1o46," O'Mahoney point ed out. Jones & Laugh1in steel in 1947 had net profits of $16,682,33S as against $6,10o,260 in 1946 and "the profits of corporations manufacturing food and kindred products in 1o46 were 2l3% above 1940, the Senator continued.
 ''The Borden Co.,, for example, had profits amounting to 273% for the first nine months of l946 above the same period in l94O. Corporations manufacturing textile mill products showed an increase in profits of 564@6; leather and leath. CT products, 21l%o; petroleums and coal products, 135%; iron and steel and their products, 929o; nonfer- rous metals and their products, 62%."
 OMahoney gave the Senate a care ful and detailed listing of corporation profits, and emphasized that Already in the lower income proups people are digging into their savings. Every sub committee of the Joint Committee on the Economic Report which investi- gated the cost of living, during the recess of Congress, from coast to coast, found that to be the fact and SC reported. We know that people at the bottom of the economic scale are sui fering now because of spiraling prices"

CT co-operatives alerted committee members to acute realization that there are lots of farmers; lots of farmer cooperatives; lots of votes among farmers who are members of coop eratives."
 The complete failure of the big business campaign to tax co-ops was revealed when the Journal of Commerce reported: "COmmittee members can't admit this. but as they got to the close of hearings and the situation became torridly uncomfortable, they decided to call upon the Treasury to give its re- cOmmenadtiOns for eliminating dis crimination in favor of co-ops. The Committee thereby hoped to shift the Onus to the Truman Admins tration. It was the first time the Treasury has been invited in on special problems involved in tax law revisiOn."
 The hzzling of COP plans to tax co-ops came closely on the heels of Knutson's abandonment of plans to consider proposals to tax union treas urles. Knutson was advised by Re- publican strategists that taxing union dues would be the last straw in alien atlng the labor vote in 1948.
 Rep. John DingelI O., Mich. !, one of the three liberal members of the House Ways X Means Com mittee who opposed the proposal to tax cO-ops, jumped the gun on knutsOn by introducing a bill which would cut taxes by $5, 1000, ,OOO.
 Unlike Knutson's proposal, the Din gell measure would give break to wage earners and the nations low in come brackets. He proposed: IA $2 billion annual reduction in federal ex- else taxes; 2-Raising personal ex-
