Two FE groups reject CIO
order to merge with JAW

10000 members from 81 local
unions in the Chicago area,
adopted a similar resolution,
with only one dissent from the
Mccormick local. The Lake
District uncil resolution
quoted the statement made by
CLIO President Murray at the
1947 convention of the UAW:
I'VE never determine the
course of action of our affili-
ates There is a reason for
this. l hope the day never comes
in the history of CLIO when it
shall take upon itself the power
to dictate or to rule" The reso-
luton said the CLIO merger Or
der to FEE in 1948 contradicts
the Murray statement of 1947.

Plan Washington trek to
protest on deportations

President Truman and Attor-
ney General Clark now can look
forward to a visit-sometime in
February-by large delegation
of innocent by-standers."
They are members of families
whose homes ere being broken
up by the current Truman-Clark
deportation drive. Their mass
trip to Washington was planned
at a national conference of the
American Committee for Pro-
lection of Foreign Born held at
the Congress Hotel last week
end.
The committee voted to launch
an intensive campaign to halt
the mounting deportation drive,
which has already placed 66
victims on the deportation list.
A wire sent by the cOnferees
to President Truman reminded
him that the deportation actions
conflict openly and sharply
with the many promises made
by you during the recent cleo
ton campaign to support the
civil rights of the American
people"
The close relationship be-
tween depression and political
deportations was shown by Ira
Gollobin, New York attorney, in
a carefully-documented report.
Relation to 'Busts.'
Gollobin said the effect of de-
pressions on deportation is
shown in the figures for 1882
and 1888. Immigration for these
two years was about $4,000 and
deportations about 40, 900. Thus,

FARMERS
are people
BY Homer Ayres

A LOAF OF the staff OF life,
- sliced and wrapped, would
cost the consumer l u cents if
farmers donated their wheat to
the millers. The farmers share
is 13 cents for a Decent loaf.
The quart bottle of milk which
costs 18 cents at the corner store
doesn't bring tn, farmer very
much, only 6 cents.
Farmers incomes are going
down while industrial profits
rise. This is how initiation whit
ties away at farmers while the
press of the nation blames the
high cost of living to the people
who actually dig the fiber and
food from Mother Earth.
A fifty buck suit contains
little wool when it comes to
actual weight even though it
might bear a label telling the
consumer it is made from 100
percent virgin wool fiber. About
the price of one sleeve goes to
the wool grower, $5.70, while
the clothing fraternity gets the
$44.30.
Sheep, for the benefit of the
many city jewellers who know
little about woolies except tales
they have heard about sheep
herders, are only clipped once
each year. The growers are
clipped at every turn of the
road.
When it comes to meat, the
killers and m a distributors
split the animal about fifty-fifty
with the ones who tend the
stock and fatten them.
1t takes several years from
the time COW gives birth to
a calf till it is turned into prime
beef and slaughtered for the
tables of those who have high
enough larry envelopes to
buy it.
Bread, sugar, tobacco, shoes,
clothing, meat, and all the rest
of the things farmers start down
the production line cost the con-
sumner a pile of money these
days. But the farmers don't get
the gravy. Most of it goes to the
big food professors who want to
maintain wide margins and high
profits.

In fact, during four years of
relative economic prosperity
Q926-29) there were only Is
political depOrtatiOns. Similarly,
from 1910 to 1916 there was
only one deportation for radical
activity.
To-day, when leading econo-
mists are again fearful of a de-
preston, the deportation drive
is significant. The immigration
and Naturalization Service again
is becoming neither the Immi-

for almost every person admit
ted, one person was deported,"
he said.
''The same is true for the pc
riod 1919 through 1929" he
added. Political deportations
for the period totalled about
l 1000. But there were more than
three times as many political
deportations (760) in the two
depression years 1920-21 as
in the remaining seven years to
1929.

One year before that Furt-
Waengler was all set for r.
week ride with the New York
Philharmonic. Even at that early
date in the Stormtrooper Story,
New Workers. whipped up such
a fuss that the Philharmonic
quietly tucked t.. contract into
its bottom drawer and Wilhelm
didn't utter whimper.
In the succeeding years, while
leading artists packed up and
left Germany, Furtwaengler ran
the Beyreuth Festival of which
F Filter was a personal patron.
He conducted a special concert
in 1914 for Nazi party leaders
exclusively, and he found him
self a member of the Nazi
Council of State in Prussia.
The Chicago Sun-Times has
jOyously cited 2 HitlerFurt-
waengler run-in, wherein Furt-
waengler defended his use of
Hindemith music. Hindemith is
not Jew, Furtwaengler plead
ed. Onl. his wife is. F.Irtwaen-
gler won the point and as a
result more recently won the
place in Felix Borowski's music
columns in the Sun-Times as
arts contribution to the fight
against anti-semitism.
According to the writer for
Marshall Field, the latter "a
member of the Symphony board
of directors, Furtwaengler swal-
lowed Hitler because he could
not break his ties with German
music.
"It was these ties" Borowski
calculates, which persuaded
him to save numerous Jew
ish members of the Berlin Phil
harmonic Orchestra from perse-
cution and even DEATH"
When The Standard inquired
Of BoroWski the source of his
knowledge of thi. heroic deed,
Borowski chuckled and said he
read it so long ago, he couldn't
off-hand recall.
BOrOwski allOwed-On the tel
ephOne, not in his cOlumns-that
Herr Willie was not forced to
stay in Germany mitt Der Feuh-
rer in the first place.
Many concert-goers who
would normally be actively in
dignant against the move were
found to be pacified and con-
fused by Furtwaengler's clear
ance by an Allied de-NaZifica-
ton Board. This fact has been
the center of the press's snow
job on the appointment.
To many of these otherwise
anti-fascist observers, it was not
known that the same clearance
was given Use Koch, another
Nazi artist who specialized in
making lampshades from the
human skins of Hitler victims

ing.
That became apparent to
Chicago concert-goers as Will
helm Furtwaenger was in
vited to become the Chicago
Symphony conductor next year.
Furtwaengler, appointed by
Goering to cabinet rank in the
Prussian Council of State, is
testing the heat of public reac-
ton waters before he leaps in.
Meanwhile, the Chicago Sun
Times, with the assistance of the
other city papers, has fashioned
halo from a ring of swastikas
adOrning the end of the Naes-
trOS baton. With it they have
conducted a "Superman Sym
phOny," inspired by Herr Will
helm. 1t is believed to be an
uncatalOgued work of Edward
l.. RyersOn, ste magnate presi-
dent of the Symphony.
The ecstatic wavings of the
gaily-jewelled stick may yet
Chunk somebody on the head.
And it may be Furtwaengler's
head.
The gallery has started to
boot. Some ticket buyers in the
front rows don't like the music,
either. Worst of all for Der
Maestro, some of the orchestra's
top drawer talent may not play.
This week Isaac Stern gave
three concerts with the SYM
phOny. The youthful virtuOsO
has just returned from a tour of
nine European countries. He
heard much about Furtwaengler
from musicians who left for
other parts while the Maestro
fiddled in Berlin.
Mr.. Stern, to whom appear
ances with the Chicago Sym
phony mean much in his still
rising reputation, told The STAN
dard:
Il definitely would not look
forward to playing with Furt-
waengler."
The same came from numer-
Gus members of the orchestra.
For the time being, they have
asked that their names be with
held from the Ryerson axe.
This is not the first time Der
Maestro has tangled with the
worlds artists court of de-Nazi-
fication.
In 1887 Arturo Toscanini took
a verbal whack at Furtwaen-
gler's strange counterpart of
culture and Kultur.
Toscanini refused to share a
program with Wilhelm at the
annual Salzb'lrg Festival in still
free Austria. The fiery little
man, who would not make mu-
sic in Italy while Mussolini was
there, blasted at FurtWaengler:
"YOu. have not the right to
conduct at Salzburg. Whoever
conducts in Nazi Germany has
nothing to seek in Salzburg.

Costa Rican Rebels 10 Rule
For al Least 18 Months
By the Associated Press

SAN JOSE. Costa Rica, May s.
Political sources say revolutionary
leaders will govern Costa Rica for
at least 18 months under an agree
ment reached between Jose Figueres,
leader of the successful revolt, and
Otilio Ulate Blanco, president
elect.
Santos Leon Herrera will continue
as acting president until the work
Of the Revolutionary Committee is
completed. The agreement specified
that If the committee has not fin
ished within 18 month 1t may con-
tinue in office another six months.
Herrera ruled yesterday that the
nations Congress has ceased to
exist, since it failed to convene
Saturday to hear his message.
The revolutionary leaders recog-
nized the election Of Ulate, and he
is slated to assume Office when the
committees work is finished.
Ulate was elected to a four-year
term in February, but Congress
annulled the election. The action
precipitated the revolution.
