Postman, rush this letter to Paul Uycmu-
IA III care Of the Rafu Shmpo, Los Angeles.
Dear Paul
What's cooking in Los Angeles?
In your column, "Ill Call YOU. you said
that the So. Calf, Appliance Saints, who have as
chief spokesman, friend Taul Watanabe formerly
OF Seattle arc planning to run off an all-Oriental
basketball tournament.
Your column suggests, we suspect, that the
Saints are trying to duplicate all-Orental ma
honal tourney which was originated by the Cathay
Post 1856 and the Nisei Veterans Committee in Sc
attic and which, we believe should stay in Seattle
for few more years until such time another city
offers to Seattle better proposition.
Because are VIGOROUSLY suspicious of
other peoples moves at times, please satisfy us
with prompt reply on the Saints true motive.
Ii the Saints are thinking only of an a-Cal-
ifornia affair." well and good.
If, however, the Saints are thinking of
snatching Seattle's braihchild we fear hell will
break loose from the Nisei Veterans Committee
and Cathay Post 1876 crowd
Having received part of our education in a
Quaker college, we love our peace of mind. We love
our peace of mind so much that we should appre
ciate your recommending that the Saints dispel all
our fears with an announcement that their all
Oriental tourney will be only statewide and will
moi conflict in any way with Scattes second an
nual all Oriental national basketball cagefest.
Sincerely yours,

Avery.USGypsum
Called Monopoly
By Supreme Court

Washington LPA) = The Su-
preme Court found last week that
manufacturers of two important
building items-gypsum board, and
.dropout fuse circuits-were violat-
ing the antitrust laws. Both sets
of manufacturers were charged
with conspiring to fix prices.
US Gypsum Co., of which Sewell
Avery of Montgomery Ward fame
is board chairman, leads the COM
bine of seven concerns charged with
using patent licenses to set prices.
Gypsum board is an important part
of most standard built homes. The
IL manufacturers of dropout fuse
circuits, which cut off electric cur
rent in case of a short circuit or
other overload, were charged with
exchanging patent rights and fix
ing prices in the process.
Scheduled for Supreme Court
rulings in this term of the nations
highest tribunal are other anti
trust cases including those invol-
ing Ford credit terms, cement, mo-
tion pictures.

House Votes Fund
Slash For Labor
Dept Next Year

Washington (LPA) = A cut in
funds for the Labor Dept, which
Labor Secretary Schwellenbach
called ga body blow at labor, was
approved without record vote by
the House last week. Any hope to
restore the 25 per cent overall fund
cut now rests with the Senate. The
money is for the fiscal year be-
ginning July /, 1948.
The House fund grant, Schwel-
lenbach charged, would deprive
the department of funds and serv-
ices which have been widely used
by both labor and management in
peaceful collective bargaining. 1t

veteran who when he entered the

left to protect his country"
Rep. John E. Fogarty (R., r. H.

handed floor fight to restore some
of the fund cuts, but was beaten
down time after time on voice
votes. When he tried to restore ST.

Dor Statistics appropriation, he
was licked "a to rs.
Only other vote count was on a
motion by Rep. Vito Marcantonio

ment originally sponsored by Re
publican members of the Appro-
priation Committee to prevent fund

racial discrimination in educational

jected by vote of 40 to 119, with
both Democrats and Republicans
divided on sectional rather than
party lines.

Court Told Movie
Monopoly Threat
To Free Press

Washington, d. c. QLNS) ~
Monopolistic trends in the moving
/ picture industry were held to be a
threat to freedom Of the press in a
brief filed by the American Civil
Liberties Union in the u. S. Su-
Ipreme Court. Asserting that the
movies, like radio, are part Of the
lcountry's press and that freedom
to read, see or hear are implied in
| freedom to publish or produce, the
unions brief supported the Attor-
lney Generals demand that Para
mount and the other big movie
producers give up their ownership
Of theaters, since their control of
the first-run houses and most Of
the best theaters serves to limit
the access Of Independent producer
to the screen.
The brief was signed by Harold
j. Sherman and H. William Fitel-
son, both Of the New York bar, as
counsel for the American Civil Lib
critics Union appearing a. a friend
Of the court. Also signing the brief
were Wendell Berge, former Assis-
tant Attorney General in charge Of
the Anti Trust Division, who initi-
ated the proceedings against the
movie producers, and James Law
renee Fly, former chairman Of the
Federal Communications Commits
sion.
Economic Dictatorship" Seen
Claiming that the First Amend
ment Of the Constitution, in pro-
tecting freedom Of the press, now
must be held to protect the right
Of the public "to enjoy the bene-
fits Of maximum diversification"
and competition Of ideas in the
production and the exhibiting Of
motion pictures the unions brief
charged that the big producers
"have, in effect, established an eco
nomic dictatorship over one Of the
worlds three greatest media for
the dissemination Of ideas andsma-
terials Of persuasion and public /.
opinion" Their ownership of thea
ters enables them to restrict the
nations "movie fare" chiefly to
their own productions, and to dis
criminate against independent pro-
ductions.

WOMEN
By MARY MOORE

Of the seven women members Of
Congress, three were originally
elected to complete the unexpireC
terms of their husbands.
Mrs. Edith Nourse Rogers, Of
Lowell, Mass, was elected to Con
gress June 80, 1925 to fill the va
cancy caused by her husbands
! death. She is the veteran woman
member of the Republican side of
the House, having been reelected
every year since, and says she
doesn't believe she will ever give
up. She is chairman of the House
veterans affairs committee.
Another woman Republican
member, Mrs. Margaret Chase
Smith of Maine, was also elected
to complete her husbands unexpir-
ed term in 1910 and has been re-
elected to each succeeding Con-
gress. This year she is out for a
seat in the Senate.
Three times elected since 1910
when she was first elected to fill

Other Congressional Women run
ming for reelection are Helen Ga
hagan Douglas, of Hollywood,
Cal; Mrs. George Lusk, of New
Mexico; Katherine st. George of

Mary Norton of New Jersey.
Mary Norton was the first wo-
man to be elected to Congress by
the Democratic party and would
like to withdraw from politics and
get back into social welfare work,
but her supporters won't hear of it.
She's been in Congress since 1925
and is now the ranking minority
member Of the House committee
on labor. She is the Dean Of wo-
men members of Congress.
Helen Gahagan Douglas is a for
mer stage and concert star and
the wife of screen actor Melvin
Douglas. She is serving her second
term on the Democratic side of
the House.
Mrs. George Lusk, Democrat, is
serving her first term and Kath-
crime S. George Republican, was
elected to the House in 1916 after
having been active in the Republi-
can party for twenty years.
