Security Agency
Funds Restored

Washington HPA) - The Sen
ate last week voted to patch up a
large part Of the damage done
when the House voted the Labor
Federal Security Administration
appropriations for the next fiscal
year. The funds bill now goes to
conference between the two houses
Of Congress, and must be oIayed
in compromise form by both before
adjournment June 70.
Led by Sen. William F. Know
land (R., Calif.), the Senate voted
to leave the Us Employment Ser
vice in the Labor Dept, and to eli
inmate the "red rider" placed on
the House version by Rep. Frank
Keefe (R., Wis.,. The rider which
would have required members Of
unions whose officials have not
signed Taft-Hartley anti-Commun-
ist affidavits to either quit the
union or quit their jobs. Knowland
pointed out on the Senate floor
that this would have affected near
ly all of the employees Of the Govt
Printing Office, who are organized
by the Int'l Typographical Union
AFL, a non-Communist but also a
non-complying union under the
TIL law.
The USES would remain in the
Labor Dept until Congress next
year receives the Hoover commiss-
ion report on reorganization of
government machinery, if the Sen
ate recommendation prevails.
Funds for USES salaries were
increased S5.OO0,O0O over the House
appropriation, and most of the
drastic cuts which would have al
most annihilated the Social Secur-
ity Agency were restored. These
Senate provisions row have to be
reconciled with the House version
which cut 94fc Of the functions of
Social Security Commissioner Art
hur Altmeyer, virtually abolished
the SSA information and reseach
staffs, and decimated the regional
offices of the SSA.

More People Won't Make Ends
Meet This Year US Agency Finds
WASHINGTON (LPAl-One-quarter :

Washington (LPA)-One-quartef
of the people whose income rose in
1947 were still worse off at the
end of the year-because prices
rose faster than income.
One-quarter of the people expect
to spend more than they earn in
1948.
About 100000 fewer spending
units" families or self-supporting
individually had less savings at
the beginning of 1948 than year
earlier.
These are some of the findings
of a survey prepared at the Uni
versity of Michigan for the Federal
Reserve Board. First installment of
the third annual survey of consum-
er finances was released last week.
The unique study found that, for
the first time since the end of the
war, in 1947 there was a decline in
the number of spending units with
savings, and that the families in
the higher income brackets were
holding relatively larger share
of the nations savings.
While in 1916 it was people with
incomes under $4,000 who spent
more than they earned (by borrow
ing, buying on credit, or biting in
savings), in 1947 consumers with
incomes up to $4,000 and even
$500 found they couldn't make
ends meet because of high prices.
Families with incomes below $3,-
0OO have almost abandoned any
plans to buy new cars, and con-
sumers with incomes below $4,000
had given up plans to buy houses.
When the surveys figured up the
total number who intend to buy new
cars, they found that it's more than
the total production of the indus
try this year. The same is true of
homes - about a million families
stated their intention to buy new
houses, as against an estimated to-
tai of 100000 to $4,000 new dwell
ing units to be erected this year.
More and more, consumers are
using credit instead of paying cash
for cars, household equipment and
furniture, and such items. Credit
buying was the way about 33 per
cent of the autos were purchased
in 1947, a sharp increase from the
20 per cent buying on credit in
1916. "There will be further rise
in the proportion of consumer goods
sold on an installment basis dur
ing the coming year." the Federal
Reserve Board predicts.

Truman, MckeIlar
Enter Fight For
iva Steam Plant

Washington UPA)- President
Truman and Sen. Kenneth d. Nc
Kellar ID, Tenn were among the
opponents faced by private power
lobbies in the Senate last week,
in the Tennessee Valleys Author
ity's fight to win a S4,C00,000 ap-
preparation for a steam power
plant at New JohnsonvilIe, Tenn.
Though the high-powered private
outfits had managed to kill the
measure in the House, they now
face a situation where political
feuds have been set aside as rep
resentatives from all the south
eastern states join together to fight
for the needed iva plant.
Truman told Chairman Styles
Bridges (R., n. H. of the Senate
Appropriations Committee that the
plant is needed to provide power
to the Tennessee Valley, assuming
normal peacetime increase in de-
mand. He also quoted the Chair
man of the Natl Security Resour-
ces Board as saying that, "from
the standpoint Of national secur-
ity a larger power cushion should
be provided in order to permit
prompt handling of future loads
that may arise in connection with
the rearmament program"
Sen. McKellar, though a bitter
foe of the present IVA administra-
ton, announced that he would lead
the battle for the fund to build a
$54, 100000 steam generating plant
vital to both industry and home
consumers of electricity in the val
ley.
The big electric companies are
fighting it on the grounds that
government should not be in the
power industry at all. Industry in
the valley needs the IVA power and
has testified in favor of the plant.
The power interests have in eff
feet admitted that their real aim
is to kill IVA so that proposals for
similar regional developments on
the Missouri and Columbia Rivers
and in California's Central Valley
will be defeated for long time
to come.

Warehouse Union
Supports Wallace

New York (LPA)-Big Local 65
of the Retail, Wholesale & Dep't
Store Union voted to support Henry
Wallace's third party at its annua
convention last week. The Ware
housemen's union thereby defieC
the international leadership of RW
DSU, which has said it will contin-
ue to support national CIO anC
PAC policy.
Meanwhile, in Washington, 9
group of employers attacked the
means employed by Local 65 and a
NY department store local of RW
DSU, Local 3, in avoiding the Taft
Hartley laws ban on the closed
shop.
In a statement presented to e
congressional committee the en-
ployers' lawyer, Robert Abelow
said that he had no criticism OF
the RWDSU, only of the two To-
Gals. Their industry-seniority hiring
hall system violates the Taft Hart
ley law, he charged, and a contract
clause giving the local the right to
insist upon the discharge of en-
ployes is weapon against political
opponents within the union.
Last week three members of Lo-
cal 3, Gus Holmstrom, Samuel
Wolfson, and Anthony Bucceri,
expelled from the local, and threat
ened with loss of their jobs because
they criticized the locals support
of the Wallace party, and it's con-
tribution of union funds to alleged
Communist front organizations.
The ousted members are appealing
to RWDSU's executive board.
They were denied the right to
choose their own counsel, and did
not see the bill of particulars
against them prior to their trial"
Holmstrom, as spokesman for the
three, rebuffed an offer of legal
aid from Gov. Thomas f. Dewey,
and said that he is confident "the
matter can be handled within the
labor movement" Samuel Wolchok
international president of RWDSU
stated that the union respects the
rights of the individual and will
deal fairly with the case"
Wolchok ordered the expulsion
suspended until the executive board
hears the case. The international
also notified Bloomingdale's depart
ment store, where the men are
employed, to keep them on the pay
roll, despite the wish Of Local 3
that they be discharged.
Local 65's officers, in their re-
port to the convention, warned
delegates to be "watchful" of inter
union officers who might
"be used against US on behalf Of
our enemies" They asserted that
the local will insist, when the cur
rent pre-Taft- Hartley contracts ex-
pire, upon Contract provisions rec
ognizing our right to enforce union
discipline"
