Labor Opposes
Bill Thof Would
Cut FSA Funds

Washington LPA)- Organized
labor last week put in its plea to
prevent Congress from crippling
the programs Of the Us Employ
ment Service and the Federal Sc
curity Administration. Heads Of
both the AFL and CIO Social Sc
curity Departments presented testi-
mony TO the Senate Finance Com
mittee asking that fund cuts in
troduced in the House be restored
in the Senate.
Katherine Pollack Ellickson, as
sistant CIO research director, pre-
sented the statement Of Van A.
Bittner, chairman Of the CIO So
Icial Security Committee. Nelson II.
Cruikshank, director Of social in
surance activities for the American
Fedeation Of Labor presented the
AFL position. Frank Donner, asso-
ciate counsel Of the CIO made a
statement specifically hitting the
Keefe rider which would bar pay to
any members of unions which have
not filed communist disclaimers un-
der the Taft-Hartley Act.
The CIO asked the Senator to
wipe out House cuts in funds for
the Federal Security Administra-
tion and revise drastic administra-
tive changes" proposed in the
House bill. They pointed out that
strong Federal social security pro-
gram is necessary because the
NAM and other conservative
groups are successfully able to
fight improvements in the various
state legislatures.
The main administrative change
to which CIO objects is transfer
of the USES as the bill proposes.
Mrs. Ellickson told the commit
tee that with manpower apt to be
a limiting factor in the economic
during the next few years,
a "strong USES is needed, with
adequate staff and funds" In urg-
ing Senate action to remove a
House-approved section of the bill
transferring the USES from the
Labor Dept to FSA, the CIO Of
ficial said "all organized labor has
retention of the USES
in the Labor Dept"
The AFL representative found
the same faults in the House bill I
and particularly objected to the
section that would throw USES |
and unemployment compensation |
together.
"Our interest is in jobs first and
unemployment benefits only in the
event that jobs are not available or
to tide workers over periods of
unemployment between jobs" he
said. "We feel therefore that the
main purposes of an Employment
Service are to maintain adequate !

Why Unions
Are Robbed

San Francisco (LPA) = Maybe
you've been wondering why your
union has been paying so much at
tention to getting all card holders
registered this year. If your city
or county is anything like San
Francisco, here's the answer.
Cameron Kind, director of the
Union Labor Party in San Fran
cisco, which has the support of
much of the AFL, checked the vot-
ing registration of four locals, 7l91
men and women. He discovered that
1903 were not registered.
Among the four locals it broke
down this way: local No. 1856

Raeism Delaying
Passage OF UNIT

Washington UPA) - Trade
union and liberal opponents of
peacetime military conscription ac-
quired some unexpected support
last week. A bloc of southern Sen
ators introduced an amendment to
the combined selective service and
I UNIT bill giving each draftee the
right to demand that he be placed
/ in a unit containing only men "of
his own race"
The amendment, which had been
defeated in the Armed Services
Committee, may become the sub
ject of a filibuster making pas
sage of the bill at this session of
Congress impossible. But the Ad-
ministration is expected to apply
strong pressure upon Congress for
enactment of the measure without
the southerners' amendment.
Meanwhile, advocates of an end
to Jim Crow in the Army continue
to push for a clear statement in
the new legislation against racial
segregation. To date the whole
problem has been one for admins
trative decision within the armed
forces.
The Senate Committee bill calls
for one-year term for 18 year
olds as trainees and a full two
year draft of men from 10 to %, in
sufficient numbers to bring all
armed forces up to full authorized
strength. It's supporters claim that
eventually the UNIT features will
be expanded and the selective ser
vice provisions dropped.
A somewhat similar measure ap-
proved by the House Committee
last week omits the 18 year olds
entirely. The Senate measure is de-
signed to last for five years, the
House bill for two. Only men be-
tween 18 and % are called upon to
register by the Senate bill, while
the House wants all from Is to 80
to sign up.
Congress is determined to adhere
to its 70 combat group air force
plan, despite Defense Secretary
Forrestars insistence that this
would mean a unbalanced de-
fense."
The southern amendment, intro
duced by Sen. Richard Russell 3D.,
G.) provides for separate units for
"the principal minority race" but
would permit draftees so choosing
to serve in any mixed units that |
the Army might set up. Officers
who did not exempt unwilling sol
diers from service in mixed units
would be considered guilty of con-
duct unbecoming an officer and a
gentleman"
Both bills provide severe pen
alties for refusal to register for
the draft, the House version de-
IICclIiS live yCdIo lilipl loOlIiilCiiI VI
a $4,000 fine or both, for anyone
within the age boundries who
doesn't register and for persons
advising eligibles not to do so.
Specific target of the provision is
the threatened refusal of some Ne
groes to serve if segregation is
not abolished in the armed forces.
In addition to the three-way split
on what-if anything-conscription
bills should do about Jim Grow, an
other controversy may make i'm
possible any law this year. The
Senate Committee, led by Chair
nan Chan Quincy (R., N. d. is
to write some sort of

Top Grid Tits
Set For South

New York, Oct. 29-(AP) -
With the mighty Michigan and
Notre Dame teams meeting
what may be termed casual op-
position, the national foot
ball spotlight switches abruptly
to the deep South this week.
There in what promises to
be a couple of rip-tearing con-
tests, the blazing North Caro-
lima Tar Heels meet the Tennes-
see Vols at Knoxville, and
unbeaten Georgia Tech invades
Durham for a tussle with the
Duke Blue Devils.
North Carolina, featuring the
great Charlie Justice, has
knocked aside five straight riv-
ais and presently holds No. 3

ings of the nation grid powers
behind Michigan and Notre
Dame.
Tennessee, while beaten and
tied in five starts, still is deem
ed capable of giving the Tar
Heels pretentions to National
honors a very thorough test
ing.
Georgia Tech leads the big
Southeastern Conference with
four straight victories within the
circuit, while Duke stands third
in the Southern Conference, with
only two tie games to mar its
overall record. The results of
the two games will 60 a long
way toward finding out who is
who below the Mason-Dixon line.
Michigan, having racked up
its fifth straight triumph at the
expense of Minnesota last Satur-
day by taking to the air lanes,
should find a more ready vic
tim in Illinois, which has drop
ped three out of five. They
meet at Ann Arbor.
Notre Dame all-conquerln8
array moves into Baltimore for
a whack at the hapless Navy
eleven, which still is looking for
its first victory. The Middies

a good air attack last week be-
fore they tired and let Penn

and state rivals.
The State Wolfpack has won

the first half.
Overall, State ranks second in
the nation on total defense, al
lowing an average total gain of

in defense against passes and

Ghost Picks Jackets, Tar Heels,
Georgia Tech And Deacs To Win
BY The Guessing Ghost


Well, the fortunes of war (and
football) aQe sometimes strange,
and the football wars Of the
past weekend are no exception.
The Ghost galloped fairly well
last weekend in spite Of a few
tumbles here and there and even
then he should have known bet
ter. Any dope that would pick
Cornell to upset Army ought to
have his head examined. Then,
too, Princeton had no business
beating Columbia, Prudue and
Yale let the Ghost down badly,
and the Penn State-Michisan
State affair was just destined.
In spite of those, though, there
were 20 right picks as compared
to four misses and q tie for q
percentage of 800.
This week the Ghost gallops
again and anything is liable to
happen-in fact, it frequently
does. Let's see how these come
out:
High Schoel Games
Roanoke Rapids over WASH
ington... the Jackets appear to
be on the upsurge again and
ought to take the Pam Pack.
Ahoskie over Weldon. the un-
beaten Indians have too much
strength and experience.
Plymouth over Scotland Neck
-. should be a hard-fought Al
bemarle Conference game with
a slight edge to Plymouth.

winning streak should continue.

Locals Seeking
Third Victory
In Conference

Yellow Jackets of Roanoke Rap
ids High School will seek their
third conference football victory
when they meet the strong
Washington High School Pam
Pack in Simmons Park.
Right now the Jackets are
holding fourth place in the
standings in Northeastern Con-
ference play with a record of
two triumphs over Elizabeth
City and New Bern and two de-
feats, by Kinston and Edenton.
One rung up the ladder ahead
OF the Jackets is the Washing
ton team with record of two
victories and one defeat.
The one game the Pam Pack
lost was to Elizabeth City, one
of the teams the Jackets defeat
ed. The Washington team still
has to meet Edenton and Kins-
ton squads which are currently
leading the conference with no
losses on the record.
A lot Of tricky football seems
to be in store for high school
fans on gridiron tonight when
the two rivals clash, since the
Pam Pack this year is using a
Winged T" formation which
Coaches Choppy Wagner and
Bill Sweel have installed at
Washington for the first time
this season. The Jackets have
been depending on straight or
thodox football from the popular
high school single wing format-
ion, however in the New Bern
game last week the Jackets in
the final period suddenly altered
their formation and started run
ming some unorthodox plays
which netted them % points in
IL minutes and won the ball
game.
Roanoke Rapids will not be at
full strength for their encounter
tonight due to a plague of in
juries which have made several
OF the regular dubious starters.
During the past week Coach
Dan eagle has been running
through his practice sessions
with one or more of his varsity
regulars either on the sidelines
or in light equipment.
Grades posted this week have
lost to the team services of
A j. Williams, first-string wing
back, and Johnny Beer, alter
nate backfield man, who has
been coming along in the Jack
cts attack.
The Jackets, on the basis OF
records against common foes
will be slight favorites tonight
but pre-game dope makes it ap.
pear that neither will have a
walkaway.
Missing from the Roanoke Rap
ids sidelines tonight will be the
high school band, which has
elected to accept acn invitation
issued by the Shriners to appear
as one Of the "color" headlights

game being staged tonight in
