Morse Hits Stassen' S
Proposal 70 Outlaw
Communist Party

Senator Morse, Republican, OF
Oregon last night registered oppo-
sition to Presidential Candidate
Harold E. Stassen's proposal to out
law the Communist Party and also
criticized the three units Of the
armed forces for their lack Of unity
in seeking defense appropriations.
The legislator spoke at the Wash
ington Central Labor Unions first
nleeing in a series on How to Com
bat the Communist Menace" being
held at the organizations meeting
hall, 525 New Jersey avenue NV.
Senator Morse said that with the
Communist Party forced under
ground there would arise a police
state which would not be consistent
with democracy. He suggested,
rather, htat I'VE meet the menace
in the open" with free speech.
I'm ready to meet it on top OF
the ground and rebut the party's
arguments when it seeks to sell the
American people political philoso-
ply that does not rest on spiritual
values" the speaker declared.
Asserting that he is disturbed
over the lack of unity" among the
armed forces. Senator Morse said
the Senate Armed Forces Commit
tee, of which he is a member, Is mot
getting the help" of the individual
service branches that 1t ought to
receive.
Each branch, he said, is seeking a
maximum appropriation. This pol
icy, he charged is not consistent
with achieving the vital defense
program necessitated by Russian
threats.
Senator Morse emphasized that,
while this Nation must be on guard
against hysteria and fear psychology
in the face of Russian aggression
it also must stand up to the stark
realities"
with the military might of Rus
sia what it is, we cannot sit In our
chairs with comfort" he warned
I'VE haven't reached the period in
world history where we can wish
ourselves into peace
Another speaker was DR.. George
S. Counts, Columbia University
philosopher and professor. In ana
lying textbooks used in Soviet
schools and colleges, he emphasized
that various shifts in Soviet policy
throughout the last several years
were dictated by the Politburo as
world power-factors changed.

Long-Lines Workers
Delay Strike Pending
Federal Board Inquiry
By the kssocioied Press

NEW YORK, May 25.-A wage
dispute involving $4,000 long-dis-
tance telephone workers in AZ States
was turned over to a presidential
board of inquiry today in an effort
to head off a Nation wide strike.
President Truman brought the
three-man board into existence last
week under provisions of the Taft
Hartley Act after talks between the
union and the American Telephone
& Telegraph Co. broke down.
The union, the CIO American
Union of Telephone Workers, has
suspended strike plans pending out
come of the board hearings.
The company announced last
night on the eve of the boards first
session, that it had signed 13 new
contracts-without general wage in
creases-covering $4,000 employees.
Three-Year Contracts.
All but two of the new contracts,
the announcement said, are for
three-year periods.
All but 1900 OF the workers are
represented by units of the Commu-
nications Workers of America, an
unaffiliated Nation wide union,
which had demanded a wage rise,
the company said. Extent of the
boost was not divulged.
Spokesman for the union were
not available last night. Present
wages were not disclosed.
The A. T. & T. said the three
year contracts provide for two wage
reopenings, improved severance pay,
reclassification and upgradings of
groups of workers. The firm said
that if wage increase were forth
coming under the first reopening,
the second reopening would not be
sought for another year.
District Workers Included.
The settlements affected Bell sys-
tenn employees in New Jersey. Vir-
ginia, Maryland, Illinois, Wisconsin,
Indiana and the District of Colum-
bia.
In the long lines dispute the tele-
phone union is seeking a 80 cent
hourly pay rise, better pension
system and improved contract con-
ditions.
A union spokesman said present
wages average $121 hourly. The
groups contract expired May 8.
In another dispute, involving 30
900 heavy equipment telephone
workers and the Western Electric
Co., the Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service announced last
night 1t would soon assign a media
! tor in the case.
! Strike Is Imminent.
/ A union spokesman said strike
of the equipment workers was i'm
minent because of what he said was
the company's fiat rejection" of
wage demands.
The union, the CIO Association
of Communication Equipment Work.
ers, has asked a 31-cent hourly wage
increase. A union leader said most
members now receive less than 81
an hour and the starting rate is 81
cents.
! Negotiations broke off last Friday
after two weeks of negotiations un-
der a wage reopening clause in a
two-year contract which expires IN

That was enough for Judge

asking Krause and each of his
witnesses if they were COmmun-
lists.
When one replied, 81 don't

claimed, That's good enough for
me"-and promptly freed Har-
ris. Then Jud G. e HermeS put
Krause under a $500 peace bond!
That night Krause went to a
meeting of the local Outside the
hall Harris yelled at him:
What are you doing here?
You'll get worse than you did
last time"
He wung at Krause, but
missed. Before he could swing
again, police descended on the

South Chicago Court again,
where Judge Hermes placed a
disorderly conduct charge
against-thats right-Krause.
Krause, still trying to make
sense out of the mysterious ways
of the law, as interpreted by
Judge Hermes, decided he'd rath-
er be tried by jury than by the
judge.

salesman, a Mr.. Hoffenkamp,
resulted in a defense by him of
the caricature.
Intent upon putting halt to
the use of the slanderOus en-
velOpes, Mrs. Dixon and To-
masek wrote to the President of
the paper company and de-
manded that the envelopes be
taken out of circulation. The
letter said further that if the
company took no action, the
union along with other organ
izations would stop buy mi
paper from the company.
Charles Began, vice-presi
dent of the company defended
his firm with the some of our
best friends are Negroes" type
of argument. To clinch his case
he wrote that as a matter of
fact, the superintendent of our
building (read janitor) is col
ored."' Mr.. Began, however,
recognized the value of Local
lois business and the threat
of the loss of other accounts and
concluded that I'VE are pleased
to discontinue the use of this
envelope and have issued orders
to destroy the present supply"

CIoim seomen were port

NEW YORK (FP)-Merchant
Seamen were really part of the
armed services during the war,
Director Frank Rack of the
Merchant Marine Veterans of
America said here Sept. %.
Outlining a campaign to defer
wartime seamen from the cur
rent draft, Rack declared: "Our
seamen were trained to man
guns, assigned battle stations
aboard ship and participated ac-
lively in every invasion. E.
They were subject to court mar
tial from the time they left the
States until they returned"
Never once during the re-
cruiting campaign, he said, were
the words civilian m plo y
ment' used in advertisements in
the papers or over the radio
Pointing out that 1000 seamen
were killed in action, Rack
asked: is that civilian employ
ment?"

Kersten is quick on
attacks, slow on fox

MILWAUKEE, (FP) - Rep.
Charles J. Kersten (R,S Wis., is
a 100 per cent American" when
leading witch-h hunts against I'M
ions, but his Americanism doesn't
look so good to state income
tax collectors.
Kersten, whose House labor
subcommittee recently / e d
smear of the United Electrical,
Radio & Machine Workers
(CIO), was involved III charges
of state income tax evasion here
a year ago. The Milwaukee
Journal, itself anti-labor to the
core, said in an editorial on Ker-
stem Jan. 25, 1947:
Tax evasion is one of the
most un-American things a man
can do. Even worse is Inc man,
aspiring to public life, who
lodges his just taxes.
Kersten failed to file returns
on his state taxes for 1943, 1914
and 1945. after this was brought
to public attention, he paid up in
January 1947. In a number of
earlier years, he had either failed
to make returns or under esti-
mated his taxes, paying up at ?
later date.

Harris assaulted Krause twice.
The first time was in June, when
Krause and Walter Griffin, Ne
gro leader in the local, were on
trial by a local committee hand
picked by Harris. They were
charged with slandering the un-
ion and its officials (meaning
Germano and Harris) and with
creating racial friction-fantas-
tic as that seems.
After Krause was slugged at
the trial, he swore out warrant
against Harris. At the trial in
South Chicago Court, Harris
tried to excuse his attack on
Krause by calling him a Red. -

of wanderings which these people
have had. Consequently morale is
very high. The groups I have seen
are of high calibre, many have
Zionist background. Most speak
Hebrew and YiddiSh. But even
those with little Zionist back

indoctrinated about the necessity
for Jewish state. Their past ex-
