The council reports that coopera'
tion and help has been given tt
leading European trade unionists
"whose unremitting strugg lt
against all forms of totalitarian-
ism have forced them into exile
In this work the AFL European
representative is giving moral and
material assistance which will ex-
pand as the new federation gets
under way.
The councils announcement is a
hint of important activities to come
behind the Iron Curtain-activities
aimed at building up labor move
ments which could be a big factor
in restoring democracy to the ma
tions now held in the Communist
grip.
This column has recently attack
ed continued dismantling of Ger
man industrial plants used in pro-
duction of peacetime goods, point
ing out that German production is
vital factor in European rehabil-
itation and the creation of condi-
tions that make for peace. The
AFL report has something to say
on this subject along the same
lines.
The section Of the report on
AFL activities in Germany and
Austria recalls that the AFL "was
the only labor voice raised against
indiscriminate d i S m tlin G of
plants for reparatiohs. There was
general acceptance by the German
unions that factories serving war
efforts should be dismantled, but
workers could not understand why
dismantling should include all
plant-connected buildings and bar
racks at time of an extreme hous-
ing shortage"
1t is no wonder that the Germans
could not understand so patiently
foolish policy Comment on World
Events directed attention early in
October to the unrest and hatred in
Germany caused by the dismantl-
ing policy and said that its contin-
nance delays recovery in Europe |
and increases the cost of the Eu-
'opean recovery program, for which
every man woman and child in the
United States is paying"

Car Dealers Gyp
Public To Tune
OF S45O,OOO,OOO

Washington (LPA) - Used car
dealers have been gypping the pub
lie and keeping much of their pro-
fits off the books, testimony before
congressional subcommittee re-
vealed here last week.
A salesman for a Washington
used car dealer told Rep. w. Kings
land Macy (R., N. " that he al
ways gets an under-the-counter tip
from car buyer and doesn't think
that $500 is too much to expect.
The same salesman, William
Manuel of the Kearney Oldsmobile
Co., said that his outfit charges al
most double what it pays for car
lin fact, a 95.4h mark-up. Ray
mond j. Kearney, co-owner of the
company said that he considers
such practices good business" He
said that they merely take trade
ins "for as little as we can" and
sell them "for as much as we can"
Confronted with evidence that all
his profits aren't going on the
books, Kearney stood on his con-
stitutional right not to answer in
eliminating questions.
The Macy committee estimates
that dealers thruout the country
have raked in 100000, COO by un-
dervaluing used cars and another
S25O,O00,OOO by selling car buyers
unwanted accessories.
Scripps-Howard columnist Fred
Othman cited the horrid instance
Of one citizen "who thought he was
buying low-price two-door coach
and found it equipped with fog
lights, spotlight, a heater, radio
with an extra speaker in the rear,
windshield wiper on the back
window, and special water squirt
ers behind the regular windshield
wipers. It had a costly steering
wheel, an electric clock, two cigar
lighters, a lap robe, puncture-proof
tubes in the tires, a special holder
for tissues Tin case he had a cold
while driving), extra ashtrays and
widgets to buzz when he got too
close to the curb.
"The car had been waxed and
polished at cost of $40 and spray
ed underneath with a goo which
was supposed to silence rattles and
cost $40 more. 1t had hydraulic
jack, windshield defogger, a sun
visor, three rear-view mirrors,
chromium rims on the wheels and
special tin flaps to hide these from
view.
'In the luggage compartment
was a set of matched suitcases.
And that's all he had to buy to get
his car; anything else would have
weighted it down until it probably
wouldn't have run. 1t was offered
to him on take-it-or-leave-it basis.
He took it at an extra cost of bet
ter than 5000"

East, Gulf Ports
Idle By Strike
OF Longshoremen

New York (LPA)-For the Sec
ond time in a little more than two
years, east coast ports were dark
and quiet last week, as $4,000 mem
bers of the Int'l Longshoremen's
\ Association-AFL refused to ap-
prove a contract settlement okayed
earlier in the week by most of the
AFL's 125-man negotiating COM
mittee.
The port of New York was clos

refused to approve contract in

coming Official"
Vital Marshall plan shipments
were being held up, railroads re-
fused to accept shipments to the

Challenge Paper
TO Retract SneeEs
AT PAC Director

Cleveland (LPA)-The executive
board of the Ohio CIO Council had
the unique pleasure of making the
Cleveland Plain Dealer take back
its remarks about Jack Kroll, dir
ector of national PAC as a political
forecaster. On Oct. 9, the Plain
Dealer published an editorial jeer-
ing at Kroll's prediction that Ohio's
25 electoral votes were in the bag
for Truman.
Then the Plain Dealer said labor
unionists would do we'll to store
away this prediction until after
election day, and compare the fore
cast with the actual results.
And last week, the complete IT
man executive board got together
and wrote a letter to the Cleveland
daily, saying they'd done just that.
"Your paper couldn't help but
guess wrong" they wrote. "You
scorned the common people,"
Now, they're waiting to see
whether the Plain Dealer will take
their challenge to give the letter as
much prominence as the paper gave
the original editorial sneering at
labor leaders.

Comment On
World Events

Present day Importance of inter
national affairs to the labor move
ment of this country is indicated
by the space given to them in the
report of the American Federation
of Labor executive council to the
Cincinnati convention. Some 40
pages are devoted to international
activities, beginning with the AFL
International Relations Committee
and ending with Asiatic relations.
Only a few of the highlights in
the international picture, as set
forth in the report, can be touched
upon here.
Naturally the European recovery
program is discussed at consider
able length. One of the most signi-
ficant points made is support of a
European federation, to aid econ
omic recovery and strengthen dem
ocracy in.its resistance to Commun-
ism. History makes it plain," the
council says, "that an essential
step in assuring peace in Europe
is federation, for in union there is
political, economic and military
strength. The AFL believes
that our representatives in Europe
should strive for use of recovery
funds to develop a European econ
omy--not separate economies of
various states"
A forecast of a revival of demo-
cracy and free labor movements be-
hind the Iron Curtain is given in
the announcement that an Eastern
European Trade Union Federation
In Exile will be organized to serve
as a means of not only maintaining
relations with those free trade un-
lonists, who, in the words of the
council, "are valiantly battling a
gaint dictatorial regimes" but also
to disseminate information in the
form of brochures, radio broad

Labor Press Votes
To Tighten Up On
Racket Publishers

Cincinnati (LPA)-At the largest
convention in its history, the Int
Labor Press of America, an arm OF
the AFL, mapped a vigorous pro
gram to improve the quality of la
Dor newspapers and clean out
"racket" publications in the labor
field.
Officers reports to the conven-
tion-approved by the delegates
denounced "unethical practices" of
a few publications preying in the
labor field, and called upon the
AFL to take drastic action to curb
the racket labor papers,"
Later, the convention voted to
oust from membership several al
lodged labor publications, against
which complaints had been filed,
and called for a thoro investigation
of others.
Officers were also authorized to
confer with AFL officials to deter
mine chow much aid we might ex-
pect in driving out of the labor
press field alleged labor papers
which fleece friendly employers,
give unfair competition to the legi-
innate labor press while parading
as the editorial mouthpieces of the
AFL."
The convention voted to have a
new ILPA emblem prepared. One
reason for this is to weed out
papers which have been making un-
authorized use of the existing en-
blem.
Among many other decisions
made by the convention were these:
Voted to encourage formation of
regional labor press conferences.
Called for an improved news SER
vice by the AFL-in line with re-
concentrations made by the offic-
ers. y
Proposed that the secretary
Lewis M. Herrmann-conduct a
poll of member publications to de-
termine their preference concern
ing various labor press services;
what additional coverage, if any,
they need, and how much more they
would willingly pay to meet their
full needs.
Urged establishment of labor
journalism classes in state univer-
stiles.
Recommended to the AFL that
study be made of the practical
problems incidental to establish
ment of a daily newspaper" and
stressed that "the urgent need of a
daily labor newspaper is becoming
more apparent every day."
All incumbent officers were re-
elected. They are: Matthew Woll,
Lewis M. Hermann,
secretary treasurer, and as vice
presidents-Frank B. Powers, Com
mercial Telegraphers ournal;
