WHITE GENTILES ONLY
PROPERTY COVENANTS
UNCONSTITUTIONAL

Washington (LPA)-The courts
have no right to enforce agree
ments prohibiting the sale of real
estate to specific minority racial
religious or nationality groups, the
Supreme Court decided last week.
In a 6 to decision the court
pointed out that the 14th amend
ment to the US Constitution says
that: "No state shall make or en-
force any law which shall abridge
any person of life, liberty or pro-
perty, without due process of law;
nor deny to any person within its
jurisdiction the equal protection of
the laws"
They also pointed to the Civil
Rights Act, passed by Congress
after the end of the Civil War,
which declares that the public poll
icy of the Us is that: "All citizens
of the US shall have the same
right, in every state and territory,
as is enjoyed by white citizens
thereof to inherit, purchase, sell,
hold, and convey real and person
al property"
Private individuals can still en-
ter into racial covenants covering
property they are buying or SELL
ing, but they cannot look to the
courts to enforce them.
The long-fought controversy over
racial covenants, resolved by the
Supreme Court, may serve to re-
lieve the horrible crowding in many
large cities, where Negro families
who are able to pay for homes in
suburban areas have been confined
to unsanitary, often indecent U. S.
ghettoes by the system of coven-
ants set up by real estate promoters
trying to raise property values in
new developments and subdivisions.
The acute housing shortage has
been felt most keenly by Negro
families who can pay for good
homes in healthy surroundings, who
are prevented solely because of the
color Of their skin from purchas-
ing property.
The CIO, the American Civil Lib
critics Union, and many other lib
eral organizations joined with the
Natl Association for the Advance
ment of Colored People in urging
the Supreme Court to rule racial
covenants unconstitutional.

Social Security
Plan Faces Cuts
In House Bill

Washington (LPA)-The Senat,
Appropriations Committee this
week holds hearings at which la
Dor spokesmen will strongly urge
major alterations in the supple
mental Federal Security funds bill
passed April 20 by the House.
On seven counts, organized la
Dor is alarmed at the contents OF
the House bill, which would change
the whole structure of the employ
ment and social security programs
thru a series of riders and fund
cuts. Here are the points which
they are asking the Senate commit
tee to change. The bill now:
Transfers US Employment
from Labor Dept to Federal Sc
curity Administration as of July l
2-Transfers Bureau of Employ
ment Security (Which handles un-
employment insurance matters)
from Social Security Agency tc
Federal Security Administration
thus carrying further steps to
weaken unified administration of
the social security program.
3-Leaves Social Security Com
missioner with only about Z pei
cent of the funds he has today.
Reduces grants to states for
employment services and unemploy-
ment compensation by nearly $23
million and another million dollars
removed from combined admins
trative budget.
5-Reduces research services by
more than 55 per cent, even though
today the Bureau of Research and
Statistics has only so employees of
all types. This bureau has respon-
sibility for studying possible i'm
provements in the program, and has
done special work in the field of
health insurance and union health
and welfare plans.
Cuts information work by 70
percent so that it will be impos-
sible to give the American people
adequate information on their
rights under the program.
7-Forbids wage payments to
federal employees who belong to
unions whose officers have not
signed the Communist disclaimers
required by the Taft-Hartley law.

various types of elections: 1878 for
union shop ballots, $50 for collec-
tive bargaining agent elections, and
81 were requests for union decerti-
fication polls.
Altho the board conducted 3164
elections-another record-it clear
ly wasn't keeping up with the rash
of cases that are coming to it for
action.
Out of the $50 bargaining agent
elections conducted, 268 were clean
cut union victories, with 72 per
cent of the 4O,4S9 workers who
cast valid ballots indicating that
they want union representation.
As in previous months, 95 per
cent Of all ballots cast in union
shop elections were in favor of the
security clause, the union winning
the right to ask for it in 90 per
cent of the polls
OF the All unfair labor practice
charges filed with the NLRB 317
were against employers, 81 against
unions. The board issued, during
March, 80 formal unfair" com
plants, of which 35 were against
management,
The five-man board itself hand
ed down 1875 decisions in March, as
compared with $50 in February.
Despite it's improved performance
record, tn NLRBis thoroughly snow
ed under. AT the end Of February
946S cases were "in the works." at
the end of March 12,5l0. 1t is any
wonder that General Counsel Rob-
ert N. Denham announced with a
deep sigh of relief last week that
several members of Congress will
press for repeal of the provision
of Taft-Hartley which makes the
union shop authorization poll man
datory?

CongrafuIofes
Phillip Murray

Washington (LPA)-In an un-
precedented move, AFL Vice Presi-
dent Matthew Woll wrote CIO
President Philip Murray last week,
congratulating the CIO on its anti
Communist foreign policy and its
reputation of the Henry Wallace
third party. He said that these de-
velopments have opened the way
for the unification of the AFL and
the CIO.
Altho "out of channels" VOLTS
letter conceded with AFL President
William Green's remarks to the
Pennsylvania AFL convention in
which he urged organic unity of
American unionism to repel the
threat of more anti-labor legisla-
tion. 49,.
Woll characterized the Wallace
party as "a divisionist party, Great
ed for the purpose of causing con-
fusion and undermining the labor
movement" He cited recent events
in Europe and Asia to prove the
impossibility of cooperation be-
tween democratic groups and Com
munistS.
He said that he did not under
stand how the CIO can stay in the
World Federation of Trade Unions,
which the AFL considers Commun-
ist dominated after Murray's
fortnight and correct position
taken at the textile workers con-
vention." The WFTU has followed
the Moscow line of opposing the
Marshall plan for European re-
covery which both AFL and CIO
have supported, Woll pointed out.
The AFL leader said that the
cause of world democracy has been
aided by increased international
cooperation among free peoples,
and said that greater trade union
unity is essential for the final
of democracy over totali-
tarianism.

erty loving people everywhere are

turies. We in the US are deter
mined that their way of life-and
our own-shall not perish from the
earth"
One highlight Of the convention
is expected to be a speech from
NLRB General Counsel Robert Den
ham, a staunch defender Of the
Taft Hartley law. President Sal
Hoffman is reported to be ready
to tell Denham a few homely truths
when the Taft Hartleyite com
pletes his address.

Would End Union
Shop Election
Under tn Low

Washington (LPA)-Last weel
Sen. Irving Ives (R., n. W anC
Rep. Gerald Lands (R., Ind.) in
troduced identical resolutions ir
both Houses of Congress to repea
the Taft Hartley laws requirement
that unions must go thru special
NLRB election procedures before
asking employers for union shop
contract.
Untouched by the proposed
amendment, however, is the stipu-
lation that unions which have not
filed financial statements and non
Communist affidavits cannot Sc
cure the closed shop.
OF course Sen. Joseph Ball (R.
Minn.) "watch-dog" of the Taft
Hartley law, is not prepared to
accept his Colleagues conclusion
that this part of the 1947 act might
just as we'll be dropped = since
unions have won SO per cent of the
polls. He says that maybe the ans
wer is to forbid the union shop
entirely, or to simply empower
NLRB to waive the election re-
quirement when it is to difficult to
enforce.
But supporting the Ives-Landis
proposal is NLRB General Coun-
sci Robert N. Denham, who wants
to set off the hook he put himself
on when he said the law requires
union shop balloting in the con-
struction industry.

well as disqualification insurance
and surgical allowances.
Steel bosses were worried a lit
tie, last week, too by the Federal
Trade Commissions announcement
that it intended to pursue it's anti
trust case against the American
Iron and Steel Institute. FCA be-
lieves that the price fixing basing
point system of the steel industry
has the same monopolistic effect
as the cement industry's system
that the Supreme Court cracked
down on last month.

program under which Uncle San
footed the stork bill for almost
three-quarters of million babies
of GIs during 1914 alone? a.? The man
who served as consultant to the
US Childrens Bureau in setting up
the medical care standards under
which the program operated is
now director of the Social Secur-
ity Department of the United Auto
| Workers.
Harry Becker, 38-year old expert
in the field of medical care, has
just returned from Washington
where he was chairman Of the CIO
delegation to the Natl Health AS
sembly. The meeting, called by
President Truman, brought togeth-
er more than 800 spokesmen for
groups concerned with the nations
health. Becker served on the Execu-
tive Committee of the sessions,
speaking for CIO.
Commenting on the Assembly,
Becker said the CIO greeted the
fact that "The Assembly has prov
ed that progress is being made with
increasing speed in establishing
common understandings regarding
payment of needed medical care
and the removal of the economic
barrier which presently stands in
the way of millions of Americans
getting adequate medical care"
Especially gratifying, Becker
pointed out, is the agreement reach
ed in Washington between the peo-
pies group-CIO, AFL, consumer,
cooperative and farm organizations
and the American Medical Assn
on prepaid health insurance as the
basic method of financing medical
care for the American people.
However, the JAW expert add
ed, "The labor and other consum-
er groups cannot compromise on
the basic question: a public pro-
gram for all of the people. AS long
as four out Of five children live
in families with incomes less than
$4,000 year the overwhelming ma
jority Of the American people cam
not pay for full and compenhen-
sive medical care offered thru vol
untary plans"
Voluntary plans are good, but
by themselves they are not ade-
quate," Becker maintains. In this,
he speaks from experience as presi-
dent and officer for several years
of Group Health Assn in Wash
ington, ID. c., one of the pioneer
ing medical care cooperatives.
The great bulk of auto workers,
Becker insists, want their union
to do something about the prob
lem of medical care and costs. One
OF the first steps he took after he
was appointed by UAW President
Walter Reuther was to hire profess
slonal publlc opinion pollerS from
Columbia University to come to
Detroit to ask representative men
and women from the auto plants
their views.
This is what the UAW was told
by the University researchers:
"The fact that health finances
is a top insecurity, plus the fact
that so per cent of the Detroit
members think it is good idea
for the union to do something about
it, plus the fact that practically
none of them have any idea of just
now the union might proceed these
facts would seem to indicate that
the field is wide-open for intelli-
gent and vigorous policy-making
