Reuther Calls For Pressman Resigns
About Production From Clio; Will
To Win The Peace Support Wallace

Washington (LPA) - Walter
Reuther, president Of the United
Auto Workers, told the Senate For
eign Relations Committee last weeE
that it must "throw away the Con
gressional eye-dropper" if we are
to win the peace. Testifying in
support Of the Marshall plan, Reu-
ther emphasized the need for con-
trolling prices here at home, and
breaking thru industrial bottle
necks, if the European recovery
program is to be successfully i'm
plemented.
The sandy-haired auto workers
leader told the committee that the
longing Of millions Of ordinary
peoples all over the world for
peace, freedom and security ''is the
raw material out Of which peace
can be made"
He attacked the NAM for want
ing to attach strings to American
assistance. Not even those who
need our aid most will accept it.,
Reuther said, if we try to interfere
with the right Of work out the
economic system they think best
for their welfare" He added
that the MANS blueprint for the
administration Of European recov-
cry program would set up "a glori-
fled holding company board Of di-
rectors with first mortgage on
the production Of western Europe"
Reuther pointed to the merits Of
President Philip Murray's sugges-
tiOns for govemment-labor-man-
agement coordination TO increase
steel output and control ALLEGATIONS.
He called for enactment of the
anti-inflation program to curb the
effects of initiation on the Ameri-
can workers standard Of living,
and to protect the value Of Euro
pean aid appropriations.
While expressing doubt that
Congress will adopt this program,
he reminded the Senators that
workers would have held off on
wage demands had Congress acted
to roll-back prices. He reiterated
his pledge that JAW will limit
its wage demands to the ability
of the auto industry to pay high
er wages without increasing prices.
Reuther presented the commit
tee with figures to prove that the
can pay time and a half
for work over 40 hours a week,
since the extra production absorbs
the extra wage costs.
Steel, oil, power, electrical ma
chinery production must be ex-
panded, by breaking the bottle
necks created by scarcity-minded
ndustrialists, Reuther said.
He urged the Committee not to
reduce the S6.8 billion that Secre-
5ary of State Marshall has asked
'or the first Is months of ERP. Not
)nly was this figure a minimum
me when presented, Reuther said,
1ut the "price trends have been
such that the assumptions behind it
will prove Incorrect"

David Scheyer
Dies Suddenly

New York ILNS). - David
Scheyer, director of Union Label
Promotion Of the United Hltters,
Cap and Millinery Workers Inter-
national Union, died suddenly of a
heart attack while on a visit to
his mother Jan. 81, in Lebanon
Township, n. J. He was 40 years
old.
Scheyer joined the Hatters in
1916 after his release from the
Army in which he attained the rank
of captain. He was inducted into
the service as a private but his
special capacities and experience
won him successive promotions.
Scheyer graduated from Michi-
gan University in 1880 and engag-
ed in public relations work prior
to the wor. For the Hatters he
conducted a program to win pub
lie support of the union label which
was hailed in advertising as we'll
as labor circles as a model of skill
ful promotion and public relations.
Tide, the magazine cf the adver-
tising profession, is commenting on
the union label promotion cam
paign conducted By Scheyer, noted
that he stressed the educational
elements in the advertising that he
prepared and sought to win pub
lie support not only on grounds of
sympathy to labor but chiefly on
the grounds of the quality and
craftsmanship of hate made by
skilled union workmen.

EccIes Demotion
Stirs Washington

Truman's announcement last week
that Mariner S. Eccles is TO move
down from chairman to vice-chair-
man Of the Federal Reserve Board
kicked off a series Of rumors and
much political speculation.
Many government employees and
reporters tied it up with the drop
ping of James NJ. Lands from the
Civil Acronautics Board, and call
ed it another indication that Tru-
man in spite Of New Dealish mes
sages to Congress is shunting New
Dealers out Of the government as
fast as he can.
Others point to the differences
in the cases. Lands was dropped
entirely, while Eccles remains as
vice-chairman Of board a ma jor-
ity of whose members are sup
porters Of his policies. In his let
ter to Eccles the President urged
him to stay on the board to assist
in getting Congressional approval
for his plans for tightening bank
credit requirements as part of the
administration anti-inflation pro-
gram. Truman insisted that there
was no implication of disagreement
with any of Eccles' policies in the
demotion.
Friends of the President also
pointed out that the appointment of
Thomas B. McCabe as reserve board
chairman is in keeping with the
practice of alternating Democratic
and Republican appointments to the
board. They add that, altho a valu-
able public servant, Eccles is an ex-
tremely different man to work with
and has been somewhat dictatorial
in his relations with other board
members.
Less charitably inclined observers
such as Senator Glen Taylor ID,
ldahot saw the hand of Secretary
of the Treasury John Snyder be
hind the shift. That Snyder and
Truman's personal appointee to
the board, Commodore j. X. Var
daman, have opposed many of Ec-
cles control policies is unquestioned.
The recent outery from the bank
ing community against Eccles' pro-
posal that all banks should be re-
quired to put aside special reserve
funds to cut off some of the infla-
tionary money and credit scheme
seemed to many to give substance
to the charges that considerable
conservative pressure had been ex-
erted against the outgoing chair
man.
McCabe, who has been chairman
of the Federal Bank in Philadel-
phia, as well as president of the
Scott Paper Co., largest toilet
paper firm in the country, is ex-
pected to be more "orthodox" in
his approach to fiscal policy than
Eccles.
The reappointment at the same
lime of M. S. Szymczak to a IA
year term on the board assures
Eccles friendly board for sever
ii more years, as he has been one
If Eccles's strongest supporters.
1t all seems to add up to this:
an able New Deal civil servant
has been clipped by back-room
'ressures, but if the majority of i
he Federal Reserve Board mem
,ers stick to their present policies
he is still the most influential man +;
IN the board.

Comment On
World Events

Communist setbacks are continu-
ing in Western Europe, latest re-
ports indicate. Most encouraging
and most important news is the an
nouncement by Matthew VOL,
chairman of the American Fed
Grafton of Labor's international La
Dor Relations Department, that
trade union representatives from
16 European countries will meet in
Brussels in March to plan action
in support Of the Marshall recov-
cry plan.
Invitations to the conferences
have been issued jointly by the la
Dor movements of Belgium, Hol-
land and Luxembourg Woll said
that the British Trades Union Con-
gress, which is affiliated with the
nist-dominated World Fed
Grafton of Trade Unions, had given
assurance of its support of the con-
ference and that the anti-Commun-
ist French unions would also be
represented.
Leaders of the AFL believe that
the Brussels meeting will contri-
butte substantially to defeat of the
Communist attempt to depict the
Marshall Plan as an "imperialist"
project of Wall Street, designed to
make Europeans slaves of Ameri-
can capitalists. The Communists
recognize the conference as a blow
to their hopes of defeating the
Marshall Plan and have been work
ing hard to prevent the meeting
from being held. That they have not
succeeded is good news for demo-
cracy.
Another encouraging piece of
anti-Communist news comes from
London, where it has just been an
that the Reds lost ground
in elections to the general executive
Transport and General Workers.
Out of 27 territorial contests
where the entire memberships of
the areas voted secretly, the Com
munists won only A seats. Four 9th
er Communists were elected in the
contest for the 8 seats controlled 4
by national trade group commit
tees, though 2 of them got III by
margins of only l vote.
This gives the Communists
seats on general executive of SO,
with seats in last years
of 81. Arthur Deakin,
general secretary Of the union, hail
I'd the result as showing that the
people are aware of what the men
ace of Communist ingiltration into
he trade unions of this country
neans."
Communists are only negligible
influence in British trades unionism
,ut every now and then they cause ,
rouble and every setback they re- 5
eive is so much to the good. Indi-
ations now are that the Reds pow I
r for evil will soon reach the van +,
shing point.
"There's nothing strange about ,
he American Communists mara =
hon, nonstop opposition to the g
Iarshall Plan," the st. Louis r
Jnion Labor Advocate remarks, go :
lg on to say: /
"This systematized program for v
elief to suffering, starving peo-
lie abroad would hit the Commun- il
,ts where they live for their hope e
) Communize Europe would be o
nhanced by human misery and c
espair. il

legislatively was outlined for the
handicapped last night at public
forum sponsored by the American

ductors and the National Rehabili-
tation Association.

Contracts on Indigents
Ready Next Week for
Signing by Hospitals

Nine Washington hospitals prob.
ably will have to wait until mex
week to get a'chance to sign con-
tracts, under which the District will
pay them for treating INDECENT pa.
tients, 1t was reported today.
The agreements, pending since
July 1. spell out the conditions
under which the city will pay the
hospitals SO for each patient day OF
treatment, 50 for each clinic visit
and extra amounts for other serv-
ices. The hospitals already have
claimed over 100000, which has
been held up pending signing of the
contracts. "% #,
Copies to BE Prepared.
A sample contract, approved yes
terday by the Commissioners, goes
now to the Health Department,
where individual copies must be
drawn up for each hospital. Of
f1cials estimated they will not be
ready for signature before the first
of next week.
While the contract was approved
by the city heads, it threw little
light on how the District will define
an "indigent" patient, when 1t
comes to paying claims.
The contract says an INDECENT Is
"one approved in writing by the
District Hospital Permit Bureau" or
one who meets In all respects
standards Of indigency" as set forth
in admissions to unsupported Gal
linger Hospital.
New Order Due.
Commissioner Guy Mason said
standards Of the permit bureau will
be outlined in q new Commissioners
order, which the Health Department
expects to have completed by the
end of this week.
Mr.. Mason indicated that regula-
tions for payment to the private
hospitals will be considerably more
stringent than those in force last
year, when the District had con-
tracts with only three hospitals
Casualty. Emergency and Children's.
One increased benefit for the hos
pitals, however, is q provision that
the city will pay for non-District
resident patients, provided they are
emergencies and are taken to hos
pitals in District-owned ambulances
or those controlled by the District
Emergency Ambulance Service.s
