Union In Favor
OF Investigation
By House Group

Washington (LPA) A Con-
gressional investigation of the six
month-old strike of agricultural
workers at the Di Gorgio ranch in
California was welcomed last week
by the Natl Farm Labor Union
,AFL.
Despite a report from California's
Tenney Committee, clearing the
NFLU of any Communist taint,
Rep. Alfred j. Elliot 3D., Cal.)
charged that there was Communist
activity in the Di Gorgio strike and
that the House Labor Committee
should investigate it.
In a letter to Chairman Fred A.
Hartley of the House committee,
union President II. l.. Mitchell said,
GAS the workers who have been on
strike since Oct. 1 are members of
the NFLU and being agricultural
workers are excluded by the Taft
Hartley act from the use of all
mediation and conciliation services
provided by the federal govern
ment, we will welcome a fair and
impartial investigation by your
committee"
Joe Hickman, President Of the
Kern County Central Labor Coun-
Gil said, "We welcome a Congress
sional investigation and hope that
the House Labor Committee will
go deeper than the Tenney Com
mittee did and will interest itself
in the issues of the strike.
"Congressmen Elliot and Con-
gresham Hartley should dust off
the recommendations of a previous
congressional investigation of farm
labor conditions-the La Toilette
Committee report. That committee
recommended the establishment of
social security for agricultural
workers; an agricultural wage
board to determine fair wages; an
extension of the Fair Labor Stan
dards Act to cover the farm work
ers; and bill to extend the bene-
fits of the Natl Labor Relations
Act to farm laborers in Industrial
lied agriculture.
The Di Gorgio strike is the first
major agricultural strike to occur
since 1941 and has become a bat
tie between the Associated Farmers
of California and the AFL as to
whether or not farm workers may
organize and bargain collective
ly with large scale industrialized
farm operators.
Calling for investigation, Rep. FL
lot quoted Harold lckes' news
paper column which had charged
that "the farm workers were not
being treated fairly, that there
were lice in their beds, the food
was bad, the living conditions were
bad, and that there were no
churches or recreational facilities" "
Ickes' statement" declared Ell
liot, "is as far-fetched as John
Steinbeck's Grapes of Wrath" Kern
County where the strike is taking
place was the scene of the book by
Steinbeck.

There are now about 20 states

Present production can again be
brought back to the prewar level,
if adequate fertilizer and other
necessary supplies are made avail
able, according to the bulletin, but
this would mean a production of
only about 1850 calories per capita
Of the present non-farm population
Of the bizonal area. Pointing out
that even prewar food production
in Germany was at artificial
heights because of the Nazi drive
for self sufficiency, the article con
cluded:
"Under the best of circumstan-
ces, it will be impossible to attain
the ration of 2400 calories, which
League Of Nations experts regard
as the minimum necessary for nor
NAL consumers, without importing
as much again as the Bizone pro-
duces. And this, in turn involves
permitting Germany to earn the
money needed to pay for her inn
ports. For it is obvious that she
cannot subsist indefinitely as a re-
cipient of international charity.
"But the only way Germany can
pay for imported food or anything
else, is by revival of industrial ex-
ports. Hence Bizonia's food problem
is basically less one of restoring
agricultural production than of re-
storing industrial production. Until
this is accomplished, there can be
no approach to a solution And it
seems likely to require more than
the level of industry envisaged in
the Marshall Plan to enable Bizonia
or Trizonia - to pay its own
way"

.CAA Studying Sites
In Nearby Areas for
Large New Airport

A cOmmlttee OF tne ClVll Aero
nautics Administration is examining
dozen or more nearby areas fol
a suitable site for a second large
civilian flying field to supplement
Washington National Airport, ii
was learned yesterday.
The studies already have result
ed in the survey of one site in the
vicinity of Annandale, Fairfax
County, Virginia, and a second site
| in the same county.
This much was disclosed by the
committee chairman, A. S. Koch,
director of the CAA Office Of Plan
ming and Graduation. Other sites
are being examined in Montgomery
and Prince Georges counties, Mary
/ land.
OvercrOwding Cited.
| CAA officials indicated that the
overcrowded conditions at National
Airport call for a supplementary air
port, preferably within IS to 40
miles" of the District.
THE closer the better" Mr.. Koch
said.
With bigger and faster planes de-
manding longer runways for safety
than many airports now possess,
officials said the proposed new air.
port would equal. if not exceed,
National Airport in size and con-
venience. That would indicate the
possibility of a 10.000-foot runway
to handle the largest airplane, Mr..
Koch said.
He also emphasized the need of
providing ample acreage for future
expansion.
Mr.. Koch dispelled any idea that
the committee was ready to make
definite recommendations. The CAA
has not sought the necessary legis-
lation from Congress or even drawn
up legislative proposals.
Would Take s Years.
"If we could select a site today
it would be about five years before
such an airport could be built or
in operation" he said.
Decisions reached by the commit
tee would be in the form of recon-
mendations to D. w. Rented, ad-
ministrator of the CAA. He ap-
pointed the committee three weeks
ago, but nothing was said about
it for publication at that time.
In addition to Mr.. Koch, the
committee members are Edgar N.
Smith, director of the Office of
Airports; 1t. Col. Bennett H.
Griffin, administrator of National
Airport; Joseph D. Blatt, Office
of Federal Airways; C. J. Haney
of the Office of Aviation Safety,
and Robert P. Boyle, assistant gen.
eral counsel for CAA.
Cost Not Estimated.
Mr.. Koch said the present study
may require several months to COM
plete. Because the airport the
committee envisions eventually
would supplement passenger fa-
cilities at National Airport, the
distance from Washington and its
accessibility are factors equally i'm
portant as the nature of the terrain.
According to the committee 1t may
take at least six months to select |
q site and draw up recommendations
for the consideration of Congress.
No one has estimated the cost of
The proposed field.
Previous airport surveys have con-
vinced officials that there is virtu-
ally no suitable site available In the
District.

Council Candidates
Would Select County
Manager on Merit

/ Candidates for Montgomery
County's first elected seven-membel
council believe a county manager
should be selected on the basis ol
merit.
| But they differ on how the coun.
ell can best reconcile differences
between those whose chief concern
with government is low taxes and
those whose principal interest is in
increased government services.
This was revealed in answers
made public yesterday. to a ques-
tionnaire distributed among the 10
candidates by the Montgomery
County League Of Women Voters.
Candidates Quizzed.
Those quizzed were j. Douglas
Bradshaw. Mrs. Dorothy Himstead,
Thomas c. Kelley. Frederic P. Lee,
P. G. Lyon, Lewis Merriam, A. r.
Selby, Mrs. Alma T. Opal, Charles
K. Davies and Romeo w. Horad,
The first seven have been nomi-
mated by the County Charter Com
mittee.
Questions asked were:
l. OF the various improvements
possible under home rule in Mont
gomery County, which do you feel
are of primary importance?
2. What method do you believe
should be pursued in choosing a
county manager?
3. In your opinion. what are the
outstanding responsibilities Of
councilman?
4. How do you think the council
can best proceed in resolving differ
ences between those whose chief
concern with government is low tax
rates and those whose interest is in
increased government services?
Unanimous Answers.
In their answers to the first three
questions, the candidates were prac-
tically unanimous that enactment
of local laws is of prime importance.
Answers to the fourth question,
however, showed that Mr.. Lee. and
Mrs. Himstead believe differences
between the two groups cannot be
resolved. Both recommended pro-
gram of education to acquaint citi-
zens with the benefits to be received
from adequate school, health and
welfare services.
Mr.. Davies, Mr.. Horad and Mr..
Kelley advocated more efficient ad-
ministration along with maximum
economy" in governmental opera
ton.
Mr.. Merriam suggested that hear
ings be held to determine public
sentiment for increased services.
I'VE can't bankrupt the county
for public services" he said, "but we
can't go along on just what we
have inherited from the past"
The remaining four candidates in
sisted that schools, health and well
fare services must be maintained at
a high level. Mr. Bradshaw con-
tended that maintenance of a low
tax rate at the expense Of such
services would be mistaken econ
omy."
