Housing Bill

WASHINGTON, April %
GPA)-The next to the last
step" necessary to make the
Taft Ellender Wagner long
range housing bill law was
taken last week, when the Sen
ate by a voice vote approved the
measure.
While hearings have finally
been set by the House Banking
Committee for May 3, Congress
woman Helen Gahagan Douglas
continues to obtain signatures on
Discharge Petition 6, which
would take the housing bill out
of the hands of the committee.
Chairman Jesse Wolcott CR.
Mich.) has bottled up the bill for
more than a year, and only eX-
tremely strong pressure has re-
suited in the scheduled hearings.
Seven Sign Petition
AS evidence of the fact that
only discharging the committee
can result in passage of the Sen

that seven members of the 28-
member Banking Committee
have placed their names on the

Burke
Urges


Pointing o ut the urgent
necessity of a large primary
vote to his campaign workers
early this week, Vice-Mayor
L n o m a S H. TOM Burke
urged them to bend all their
efforts to get out the labor vote
for next Tuesday election.
Said Burke: "There never has
been time when it was more
important to turn out a large
primary vote than this year.
This is true, not only because of
the national election, but be-
cause of the issues which must
be settled on statewide basis.
II am not urging this vote
turnout merely because l am
S e e k in G the office of u. S.
Representative from this district,
but because this is the year of
decision upon which the i'm
portant events of the future are
depending. We are in a most
dangerous situation both at home
and abroad, a fact which cannot
be doubted by anyone who reads
the newspapers and tries to keep
up with the course of events.
"This election is of greater
importance to the workers and
plain people than any election
which has taken place in many
years. 1t is going to determine
the shape of things to come and
the future of this nation for
many years in the future.
II urge you workers on my
committee to do everything in
your power to impress upon the
people with whom you come in
contact that everything depends
upon them. They are the ones
who must decide what the future
is going to bring us in leader
ship for the critical times ahead.
1 assure you that if l am nomi-
mated and elected that will do
everything in my power to rep
represent the views of the people
of this district with a realization
that we must meet our problems
with courage and vision"

Time For Voting

If you are going to vote
next Tuesday, and, of
course, you will want to
vote for the five labor
backed candidates, remem-
ber that the voting booths
are not operating on Toledo
Daylight Saving Time, but
on Eastern Standard time.
This means that the booths
will be open from 1880 a.
m. to 1880 p. m. our time
SO make your plans to
vote accordingly. If you
work on the first trick in
a plant, plan to vote after
you leave work. If you are
on the second trick, make
arrangements to cast your
ballot before you go to
work. Remember, your vote
is important, so don't fail
to cast your ballot.

TWU Gusts
Affiliate

ATLANTIC CITY (LPA) -
The American Federation of
Hosiery Workers, which last
week was expelled from the
Textile Workers Union of Amer
ict-CIO for refusal to pay a
steep increase in its per capita
tax, intends to apply for a CIO
charter as separate affiliate.
This was the announcement of
President Alexander McKeown
and Secretary-Treasurer William
Smith of the Hosiery Workers
after a pre-convention session of
the TWUA's executive board.
However, TWUA President Emil
Rieve stated that the AFHW is
no longer affiliated in any fash
ion with the CIO. There are
10000 workers, mostly in the
full-fashioned in du try, in

SHIN ITO N, April %
(LPA)-Both major labor feder-
ations in the U. S. last week
greeted the report of the Ad-
visory Council on Social Secur-
ity to the Senate Finance Com

incorporate the proposals into
the Social Security Act.
Said AFL President William
Green Nov Congress has be-

which have been developed by a
representative group of citizens
from all walks of life, including
business management, agricul-

very capable experts in the field
of social security who served
with them. The next step is for
Congress to adopt these progress

part of our Social Security sys-

Said Chairman Van A. Bittner
of the CLOS Social Security
Committee: "The American peo-
pie have the right to expect i'm
mediate action on these propos-
ais to improve social security.
The responsibility rests squarely
on Congress to act before ad-
journment. T he Republican
party, with a clear working ma
jority in Congress, cannot evade
the responsibility for action.
Failure to act will reflect shock
ing indifference by the majority

Last Minute
Drive Expected
To Succeed

Labor's drive for votes
which has been going on since
the close of registration April
5 was ending this week in a
concentrated drive to get out
the primary vote for next Tues
days election. Labor leaders ex-
pressed the view that the drive
would be a success.
Principal interest of labor lies
in the congressional race in
which Vice-Mayor Thomas H.
CTom) Burke and William Sturm
are Sc king the Democratic
nomination. Political observers
here are almost unanimous in the
belief that Vice-Mayor Burke
will win the nomination in view
of his long legislative experience
in the state legislature and City
Council, although they express
the view that Mr.. Sturm will
run well.
Equally interesting to labor is
the Democratic sheriff's contest
where Franz Berlacher, a new
conner to politics, is believed to
have an even chance to upset
the political forecasts and secure

Revenge on Lions

The Washington hockey Lions
have won only two games so far this
season, and one of those victories
over the Buffalo Bisons-has been
more than avenged. In Buffalo last
night the Bisons poured it on the
Lions, 100.
There was little doubt about the
outcome after the first period, dur
ing which the Bisons smacked in
five scores against Lou Crowds,
Washington's lonely goalie. Twelve
players participated in the Buffalo
goals and assists. Top honors went
to Murdo Mckay, Buffalo's flashy
center, who accounted for three
goals and added a pair of assists.
That was the largest margin so
far in the American Hockey League,
but another big edge was scored last
night when the New Haven RAM
blers trounced the Philadelphia
Rockets, 1914. In another Eastern
Division setto, Hershey Bears
climbed to within three points of

NEW YORK, Nov. IL With a

Royal Canadian Mounted Police in

hunters, harness horses and ponies,
civilian jumpers, gated horses,

Offering more than $32,500 in
prizes, the show has attracted 270
exhibitors. The hunter division, al
ways popular, has drawn 1873 en-
tries. the largest in years. The
North-South battle will be renewed
with the Southerners after a third
straight hunter championship.
Interest in juvenile events has in
creased to such an extent that the
National has added seven classes
to the division. The equitation
championships to be decided Sat-

qualified by winning similar events

Grid Develops Warriors
Leohy Sees Benefit to Nation
In College Football Promotion

10 know that men such as Bob
Livingstone. Bob Mcbride, Gerry
Cowhig and Jim Martin who had
achieved individual acclaim on
the varied battlefronts still were
willing to return to Notre Dame
and accept arduous tasks so that
their school would take its place
in the national football picture.
We mention these lads because
of our knowledge of their ex-
ploits and as a symbol of the
countless other like men in
schools throughout America.
To achieve success in any field
requires great amount of mental
and physical discipline. A man
willing to pay the price for sue
cess on the football field has de-
veloped a habit that will force
him to achieve success in any
field that he later selects. Just
as any lad with only average
natural ability can, with deter
mined effort, develop into a star
performer, so this same lad with
average intelligence achieve great
ness in his chosen profession If he
will devote a little more effort
than the average person.
The law of compensation evi-
dences itself on the football field
as preliminary to the applica-
tion of the same principle in
later hfe.~ A top-f1ight surgeon
or lawyer will call into play the
same qualities necessary for ath-
letic distinction. The willing
ness to pay the price is neces-
sary in both instances.
Our Saturdays contest with
Navy gives food for thought in
our consideration of the value of
sports. At no time during the 60
minutes of that game did the
Middies show any sign that they
were willing to capitulate. Even
though the Irish were playing
their best game of the season
and costly Navy fumbles con-
tributed to our success, the op-
position fought on and eventually
scored in the fourth quarter.
Even in defeat, those gents that
continued to charge viciously
earned the respect of the $4,000
onlookers.

The overall objective is to create
