Oglethrope Professor Is Defended
By Chief

ATLANTA. Ga.-President Phil
Weltner Of Oglethorpe University
Sunday defended the right of a
faculty member to have and ex-
press whatever politica lbeliefs he
chooses.
Weltner bluntly denied that
Prof. Don West, executive vice

released from the university fac
ulty in June.
Reports had circulated that
West, a social science instructor at
Oglethorpe for two years, would
not be retained because of activi-
ties not in keeping with policies
the university.
West said he was "very happy
to hear the news" that his activi-
ties on behalf of Wallace would
not jeopardize his position as
teacher.
81 am glad to feel the security
of looking forward to years of
service on the Oglethorpe faculty"
he said.
Meanwhile the Georgia Wallace
group made final plans for a con-
vention in Macon on May s. A

Housing Starts Down
Sharply In December

Washington, D. C. (ILNS) =
Housing starts slumped to a sea-
sonal low point in December when
construction was begun Of $4,000
new nonfarm dwelling units, it
was revealed in a primary estimate
by the Bureau of Labor Statistics,
U. S. Department of Labor.
Severe winter weather and
storms in many areas were partly
responsible for a drop of $4,000
units from the revised estimate of
$4,000 for November. However, the
number of dwelling units began in
December exceeded by 22,700 the
number started in December, 1916.
The brisk rate of housebuilding
in the summer and autumn months
resulted in a total of 845,6C0 new
permanent units being put under
during 1947. This sur
passes the 1916 achievement by 27
per cent, and marks 1947 as the
best home-building year since 1925,
when $4,000 units were started.
Housing completions rose stead
lily during 1947 as the time requir-
ed to make a new house ready for
occupancy to about Az months, as
with months or more
in 1916.

Pulp Logging Covered
In Child Labor Order

Washington, D. c. (ILNS)-Ef-
fective Feb. 2, 1948, most occu-
pations in the logging of pulpwood
will be included among the saw
timber logging and sawmilling jobs
for which an 18-year minimum age
requirement is established for en-
ployment under the Fair Labor
Standards Act.
This was announced by Secretary
of Labor L. B. Schwellenbach fol-
lowing his approval of revision of
Hazardous Occupations Order No.
a. Adopted in 1941, this order raised
from 16 to Is years the applicable
minimum age for employment in
most saw-timber logging and saw
milling operations covered by the
act-the wage and hour law-be-
cause they were found to be par
ticularly hazardous for minors.
The occupations added by the
amended order include some in the
logging of pulpwood, chemical
wood, excelsior wood, cordwood,
fence posts, and similar woods.
The amendment was proposed by
the Secretary following investiga-
ton and study of the industries by
the Child Labor Branch of the
Wage and Hour and Public Con-
tracts Divisions. The occupations
in which it still is permissible to
16- and 17-year-old minors
are limited to a few removed away
from the sawmill proper and away
from the place where Telling, buck
ing, skidding, yarding, and loading
are being performed.

Bad Rent Control
Bill In Congress

Washington (LPA)-A rent con-
troll bill that warns the hearts
land pocketbooks) of landlords and
real estate lobbyists was produced
last week by the subcommittee Of
the Senate Banking Committee
which was assigned to draft a
new law replacing the one which
expires Feb. 20.
Chairman Harry Cain (R.,
Wash.) who reported for the sub
committee, is an opponent of all
rent controls. In effect, the bill
would leave tenants at the mercy of
their landlords unless the tenants
were strongly organized, and in a
position to refuse to sign rent
boost agreements.
This is how the law, as proposed
by the Senate subcommittee, would
work:
Rent control extended for IA
Landlords and tenants allow
ed to sign voluntarily" leases at
any figure agreeable to both.
3-A semi-automatic process for
allowing increased rent charges be-
cause of increased costs claimed
by the landlord.
All rents in the higher brac-
kets decontrolled; rooming houses,
boarding houses without kitchen
and rooms in private
decontrolled.
5-Rental units where landlord
and tenant had signed the Is per
cent voluntary" lease agreements
under the current law would be
decontrolled when the
present tenant breaks the lease or
when the present lease expires.
6-Authority of the Housing Ex-
pediter to enforce the law is weak
aned.
The House Banking & Currency
Committee concluded hearings Feb.
10, and will draw up its version of
rent control. Both will have to
De compromised, approved by both
houses of Congress, and signed by

Telegraph Unions
Approve Pay Boost

Washington (LPA)-Members OF
three AFL unions-the Commercial
photographers, the Telegraph EN-
ployes Union and the Telegraph
Workers Union-last week ratified
an agreement with Western Union
for an 8c-an-hour wage raise.
Western Union had agreed to
meetings with the Federal Media
ton & Cancellation Service right
before Christmas when breakdown
of negotiations led the telegraph
workers to vote a strike.
Though the workers demanded a
15c-an-hour boost at that time,
more than two-thrids of the mem
bership has voted to accept the Sc
unconstitutional hike effective
April /.
In setting their original demands,
the telegraphers cited the fact that,
according to figures filed with the
SEC, Western Union will make
$12,000,000 profits this year and
can afford to pay a living wage.
Members of the Cancellation
board who worked out the settle
ment were Eugene Meyer, publish
er of the Washington Post; Waldo
Fisher, professor of in
dustrial relations at the Univer-
sity of Penna., and Charles Horsky,
associated with Washington law
firm that includes former Under
secretary of State Dean Acheson.
