Vigorous Program Planned By Elm City
} C0Pers Warn Taft They'll Kill. TEWHousingBi Bill

Washington (LPA)-Three key Republican members of the House of Representatives, according to several reports here, have delivered an ultimatum to Sen. Robert Taft (R., Ohio) that they'll hold up all housing legislation unless they can remove the public housing prOvi- sions of the Senate-approved Taft Ellender-W Wagner bill. The three are House Speaker Joseph Martin (Mass.), Jesse WOlcott (Mich.) and Charles Halleck (Ind.).
 While refusing to comment on whether or not the three had met with him, or delivered an "either -or" mes sage, Sen. Taft said he definitely had made no sort of agreement or deal with them to take anything less than the whole Taft-Ellender- Wagner bill.
 FEW bill supporters put on a re- newed drive for signatures on the discharge petition which would take the bill out of the hands of the House Banking Committee. Chair man Jesse WOlcott of the commit tee has scheduled protracted hear ings running almost until the sched- uled date for adjournment in late June, on the housing bill. Unless the House has an opportunity to vote on the bill, it will be necessary to begin all over again i'm January l949 when the next Congress con- venes.
 In an attempt to speed up the hear ingS, the several organizations have given Up the time allotted to it by the Banking Committee, and instead filed a statement supporting the TEW measure. Tt would be unfortunate if this bill were caught in the last-min- ute legislative jam," they asserted, "as millions of Americans are hopeful that the incentives it provides will result in increased housing for their fami- lies"
 City Council President George Ed wards of Detroit, speaking for Ameri- cans for Democratic Action, told the committee that the TEW bill is "shockingly overdue" He urged quick action because the bill will do three things: Tt will make possible con- struction of enough houses to start cutting down our shortage. It will keep houses going up in numbers large enough to approach the total need. It will do this at prices that bear some resemblance to peoples pocketbooks.
 The 33-year-old Detroit city off, cial asserted that the history of fed eral housing legislation is ''story of make-shift and hOdge-podge; patch work and piecemeal; costly catering to emergency" He urged the Congress to remedy this. and to start with the Taft-Ellender-W Wag- ner measure.

.AFL Attacks, COP Approves
 M u n dt Bill

Washington (LPA)-AFL Presi- dent William Green said last week that AFL attorneys who have studied the Mundt-Nixon anti-C Com munist bill fear that parts of it can be used against labor unions.
 Speaking to the convention of the Hatters Union-AFL, Green took the same stand as CIO President Philip Murray and liberal political spokesmen in opposing the Communist registra- ton proposal.
 The AFL president said that by the time the bill reaches the Sem ate, the AFL will have prepared a full statement on it. ''We are afraid sections of the Mundt bill might be used against labor organizations. There are some very serious impli- cations in the measure. We are un- certain it will accomplish the pur- pose set forth in the bill'' Green ex- plained.
 The Natl Farmers Union said last week: "The bill is unquestionably un- constitutional"
 Despite the fear of the proposed legislation voiced by -Commun- ist uniOnists, liberals, and civil lib- critics advocates the House passed the bill 3l9 to 58 last week.
 Although the 215 Republicans who voted for the measure could have passed it unaided, they had the support of 1O4 Democrats, including Reps. Sam Rayburn (Tex.) and Joseph Mccormack (Mass.) the official Dem ocratic leaders in the House. Presi- dent Truman has indicated that he does not intend signing the bill if it passes the Senate.
 Only eight Republicans, AS Demo- crats, and two minor party Congress men voted "No."

KEYNOTE BY BOWLES

KEYNOTE BY BOWLES
 The keynote of the evening. as was expected, was sounded by Ches- ter BOwIes of Essex, former US. price administrator It was BowIes who advised the gathering that or. ganlzed labor must be aggressive at this particular time if the private enterprise system is to survive. He pointed out that profits this year Will be even greater than in l047. when they were then highest on re- cord; and that unless wage inc creases can be won without addi- tlonaI increases, the private enter. prise system will be stuItified.
 BowleS attacked both the Comnun- iSts and the small group of powerful lnduStr1allStS as dangerous to democ- racy, but said that the industrial lead CTS, because of their economic power Who W, are afraid of true democracy, are the greatest danger.
 1hey are out to get organized labor he said, the enactment of the Taft, Hartley bill being the first broadside Should labor consider it smart to lie low at this time, he added. the results will be tragic not only for the unions put tor the entire country. The House Banking Committee he asserted is under the control of the real estate lobby, and as long as the committee retaHls its present membership. he doubts that there will emerge a hous- ing bill that will do any good.
 ROURKE SPEAKS

Rourke secretary-treas- urer ot the Connecticut Federation of Labor, told the assemblage that the growth ot monopoly in this country IS serious threat, and outlined the strangle-hold that gigantic firms hold III steel, auto, and other major indus tries.

Labor Board Hews A Strict Line

Washington (LPA)-The NLRB this week handed down three decisions which will bring comfort to anti-union employers. One interpreted Taft-Hart- ley's protection of employers "free speech" to include forcing workers to listen to anti-union propaganda. An other said that union may be held responsible for the conduct of its mem bers on the picket line. And finally the board ruled that it has no power to conduct union shop authorization cleo tons in the 13 states which prohibit union security contracts. Each con stitutes "strict interpretation" of the anti-labor provisions of the Taft Hartley law.

A.F.L. STAND BACKED
 President William Green has in- dicated that the American Federa- ton of Labor is opposed to the Mundt-Nixon Bill on the ground that it might interfere with the legitimate activities of labor. The New Haven Council took its action on the motion of Joseph M. Rourke, secretary-treasurer of the COnnecti- cut Federation of Labor. who point ed out that there are now 27 laws on the Federal statute books which deal with reasonable activities, and that the Mundt-NixOn Bill is a threat not only to civil liberties, but could be enforced in a manner detrimental to unions.
 In Congress last week, both Reps Foote and William Miller of Hart ford voted against the bill.
 As a result of the vote, President McGovern sent the following letter to U. s. Senators Brien McMahon and Raymond E. Baldwin:
 ''We trust that you will agree with the leaders of organized labor and almost all national liberal or ganizations that the Mundt-Nixon Bill will harm the very democracy we all are anxious to preserve. There now are adequate laws to pro- tect the people of this country against reasonable actions. We are counting on you to resist this inva- sion of civil rights in the United States"
 HOUSING LETTER
 The letter to Reps. Foote and Sad lak follow:
 ssIt is inconceivable to us that the Both Congress will not pass the Taft-Ellender- Wagner Housing Bill before it adjourns next month. You are aware of the suffering and tragedy being caused by the great housing shortage. We ask you to is. sue a public statement supporting this nOn-partisan measure; to in- sist that the House Banking Com. mittee report it favorably, without any crippling amendments; and that you work and vote for its pass age. We will appreciate an immedi- ate reply to this request.'
 The Council voted to endorse Public Service week, sponsored by the New Haven Joint Council of Municipal Employees, and supported by Mayor William C. Celentano; voted an ap- propriation for the Workers Education Bureau; heard delegates reports from Robert Schecter, business manager oi Musicians, Mo- 234; Saul Kreas Painters, No. 186; and Everett V Shaw, Municipal Employees. As Coun- ell representatives to the public meet ing on the School Survey, President McGovern appointed Miss Viola Gra- deck, Teachers Union; William P Enright, Painters; and Nathan Sher- man.

Imitation Portents
(Washington Post)

tWaSnlngtOn PCSt)
 The Presidents Council of Economic Advisers has recommended program for dealing with imitation, which includes price control and ratoning, to be applied when and where needed selective basis, with restricted control over wages controlled Particular emphasis has also been put on the need for controlling materials in scarce supply owing to council members are not only agreed that the danger of inflation is still with us Dr. Nourse declares there is now greater need of the standby controls powers the President has requested than there was last November.
 That conclusion well warranted for, in ad- dition to the recovery program, the expanded arma ments program will make unexpectedly heavy demands on the economy at time when productive activity is at a high level and shortages of basic materials needed both for foreign and rearming still exist As pointed out in the National City Banks April review of economic conditions, the countrys resources ln plants materials and labor are for the most part fully employed especially in of metals and other strategic materials Hence the new armaments pro- gram is likely to have influence out of all pro- portion to it's absolute by divertng scarce goods and scarce labor production of consumer goods The labor force moreover, will be depleted to the extent of prospective increases in the size of the armed forces.
 As a result, the outlook is for continued high level of industrial activity that will sustain consumer demands together with greater concentration types production that do not minister to consumer needs It follows that the of deflation engendered by the February market break have vanished and the danger of imitation has again become matter of serious concern not only to the Presidents economic advisers but also many economists who were recently predicting an early business recession.
