Oil MoguIs

by James A. Moffet, former stan
dard Oil official, who was presi-
dent of the Arabian American Oil
Co. Cor "Aramco") during the war.
He said his company had over
charged the U. S. Navy $35,0O0,-
900 for oil from the Arabian fields,
while an additional $30,00O,000 was
secretly handed to King Ibn Saud,
of Saudi Arabia, by U. S. govern
ment officials. The money was dis
guised as lend-lease funds for Eng
land which turned it over to Ibn
Saud who gave Aramco enormous
ly rich oil concessions over an area
of 162,000,0C0 acres, equal in size
to California and Oregon combined.
Altogether the U. S. government
invested $80,OO0,0O0 of American
taxpayers money to help Aramco
obtain and hold it's Arabian conces-
sions. In return, Brewster said, the
U. S. has been given only the "re-
sponsibility' of protecting our pri-
vate oil interests there and British
interests in the Middle East.
In subsequent testimony the
Committee was told by Sen. John
j. Williams (R., DELI that the
Howard Hughes enterprises owed
the government nearly $6,000,0O0
in "tax delinquencies." Williams
based his charge on data provided
by the Internal Revenue Bureau
he said.

New Deal years, but that many
more extreme laws furnishing in
dustry would have been enacted
had it not been for the protection
afforded by unlimited debate. When
the present campaign to abrogate
the rule began some years ago, the
chief argument advanced was that
this would break filibusters against
anti-lynching legislation"
But anti4lynching legislation
hasn't anything to do with it any
longer, the NAM is convinced. "The
real reason for the continued drive
to change the rule is to make pos
sible enactment of socialistic and
unsound fiscal legislation. One Con-
gress, with a restriction on debate,
could commit this country to such
a broad program of government
ownership that the system of free
individual enterprise would be i'm
paired permanently"

Further neglect and delay could
disturb railroad operations. This
need not be if the railroads will
only act in time"
The brotherhood spokesman ex-
planned that the officials action
in interrupting negotiations for
changes to present the wage de-
mand resulted from pressure ex-
erted by members of the 5 organi-
zations throughout the country.
Members Press For More Pay
"The members insisted we drop
everything and present the wage
demand Immediately" the spokes-
man said.
Challenging the statement that
railroad employees are going into
debt, representative of the rail
roads said operating employees in
the first quarter drew weekly
wages of $7l.85 to $102.76. The
lowest pay is for freight flagmen
and brakemen and the highest for
passenger train engineers.

the vote to roll up the $4,000 ma
jority serving ''to explode the fall
lacy that the public desired restric-
tive labor legislation"
In the city of Louisville, consid-
cred in advance to be a weak spot
for the Democrats, Mr.. Weyler said
the work of the AFL's unions there
resulted in a Democratic victory by
a majority of nearly 5000. He con-
tinued:
'In the coal fields of Kentucky,
in many districts traditionally Re-
publican, the AFL-supported Demo-
cratic candidate carried a majority.
In fact, our candidate for governor
carried his opponents county by
more than 200 majority.
"All of which, in my opinion,
proves profoundly that the citizens
of Kentucky, industrial, agricultur-
al, and small business, want and in
tend to have progressive govern
ment of the people, by the peoplpe,
and for the people.
"This election surely is a criteria
of the results which will be attain
ed in the 1948 election which will
free our nation from it's reaction
ary leadership"
In other election contests
throughout the nation, the AFL
scored additional success. In De-
troit, Edward J. Jeffries was de-
feated for reelection as mayor,
when the AFL withdrew it's sup
port previously given to Jeffries in
three earlier mayoralty contests.
The CIO support of Jeffries, given
this year for the first time, proved
inadequate to counteract the AFL's
announced intention to work for
his defeat.
In Philadelphia, the AFL-sup-
ported mayor was reelected, prov
ing once again the ineffectiveness
of the CIO, which campaigned
against him.

EMPLOYER ASKS NLRB
To DISCARD EVIDENCE
OLDER THAN s MONTHS

Washington (LPA) - A chain
store employer last week proposed
to the NLRB that it disregard all
evidence in its records which are
more than six months old in deal
ing with unfair labor practice
cases.
The request was made by attor-
neys for the Kresge Store, Newark,
N. j., which is charged by both an
AFL and CIO union with setting
up company union called the "Co-
Workers Mutual Aid Assn" The
company asked that the case be dis
missed because neither union had
complied with the Taft-Hartley af-
fidavits requirement.
Because the NLRB's case was
based on events ranging back as
far as 1897, Kresge Attorney, W..
J. Herbert contended that the
charges had grown stale. He based
his argument on the TIL provision
putting a six-month limit on the
time between the issuance of a
complaint by the NLRB and it's
hearing. The board took the de-
mand under consideration.

The FEC listing showed that the
United Auto Workers-CIO has re-
ceived licenses for new stations in
Chicago, Detroit and Cleveland. The
Amalgamated Clothing Workers
CIO had petitions approved for Chi
cago and Rochester.
The Int'l Ladies Garment Work

cago Federation of Labor, which

station received permission to add
FM facilities.
A new FEC study of standard
broadcasting reported last week
that new stations have about So
so chance of making money. Five
hundred new standard broadcast
ing stations have been started since
the end Of the war, bringing the
total to 1400. Seven hundred more
applications are pending.
From $50 of the 500 new stations
the FEC received financial data
showing that about half made
money while half operated in the
red. Total costs before a new sta
tion is ready to go on the air were
found to vary from $34, ,107 for local
stations in communities under 50,-
0O0 population, up to $133,0CO for
regional stations in cities Of more
than $4,000.

135 AFL LOCALS OPEN
DRIVE ON COMMUNISTS
IN THEIR OWN UNION

New York (LPA)-All-out war
on Communist influence in some
locals of the Hotel & Restaurant
Employees Int'l Alliance & Barten-
ders Int'l League-AFL was de-
clared here last week by represen-
tatives of 1876 locals in five eastern
states and the District of Columbia.
The delegates, meeting here in a
two-day session, organized what
will be known as the Second Dis
trict Conference and adopted reso-
lutions calling for contributions to-
ward an "anti-Communist fight
and to combat "all un-American
domination of unions in the entire
international union."
Much of the anti Communist
fight in the union has centered
around Local 6, Hotel & Club
Workers, in this city. The locals
president, Michael Obermeier, is
currently the subject of deporta-
ton proceedings brought by the
federal government. Obermeier last
week admitted that he had been a
member of the Communist Party
from 1880 to 1889.
One of the officers elected by
the newly-formed Second District
Conference was Vice-president Mi
guel Garriga who has headed eff
forts to remove Communist influ-
ence from Local 6. Then locals ex-
ecutive board retorted last week by
demanding Garriga's removal. At
the same time Garriga disclosed
that three business agents of Local
6 who were outsed when they join
ed the anti Communist movement
had been ordered reinstated with
back pay by International Presi-
dent Hugo Ernst.
The anti-Communists are also
concentrating efforts on Local /,
Walters & Mattresses, in this city,
which they claim is also under the
domination of Communists.

SCHUMACHER CONVERTED
To A DIVIDED GERMANY

Washington (LPA) = DR.. Kurt
Schumacher, internationally known
German Social Democratic leader,
has abandoned his previous opposi-
tion to a separate peace treaty for
the u. S., British and French zones
of Germany following visit to
the U. S. and conferences here
with labor and government leaders,
it was reported last week from
Berlin.
Schumacher, who attended the
AFL convention as an invited
guest, was long known as an adj
vocate of German unity and ma
tional integrity. AS the result of
his apparent reversal of attitude
while in the U. S. he is now will
ing to see a separate peace signed
excluding the Soviet-occupied zone

dollars.
~ submit that such proposal
is fantastic because it so complete
ly disregards our Federal revenue
and our probable commitments un-
der the Marshall Plan,' Mr.. VOL
declared.
Furthermore, this proposal
would result in shifting a greater
share of the tax burden from those
more able to those less able to bear
the tax load. Such a program is
not only inequitable, but dangerous
to the economy"
FINALLY" declared Mr.. Vol,
"the proof of the utter insincerity
of the majority's professed interest
in the low income groups is found
in their recommendation that ex-
else taxes is increased and extend
ed. Obviously, they hope to collect
additional revenue either through
taxes on luxuries or through taxes
on necessities in common use.
IaxeS on luXufles rarely yleld
any considerable revenue and fre-
quently defeat their purpose by dis
couraging consumption. Taxes on
necessities, on the other hand,
m ght yield additional revenue but
would cut into the purchasing pow
er and living standards of the low
income groups.
"Anyone interested in tax equity
or our social and economic welfare"
concluded Mr.. Woll, "can be either
amused or outraged at Mr.. Magill's
attempts to promote bigger and
better taxes on consumers, while
expressing concern for the small
taxpayer"
