rENHERE ARE all kinds of peo-

tNHERE ARE all kinds of peo-
i pie in this world. They were
all born alike, most of them
having two hands and two feet
and feelings. They all like to
eat and live. They all work
for a living. Some work with
their hands, some with their
zfeet and some push pencil at
an office desk.
Why do some people think they
are so much better than others?
Maybe its because they have to
get up out of bed an hour eaglier
in order to put on collar and
tie. Maybe its because they go
to the nearby restaurant to eat a
greasy lunch instead of having a
wholesome sandwich made at
home. Maybe its because they
come into closer contact with the
big boss. Maybe its-Well, what's
the difference? We all were
alike as a small baby and we'll
all look alike after we are six

Passage of the Taft-Hart-

the Fair Labor Standards Act.

curity news vendors and about
100000 outside salemen and

Labor officials name three

They are:

2. Federal aid to education.
3. Measures to bring down
high living costs.
Congress ails
Even conservative newspapers
were indignant over the death OF
the new TEW bill in the closing
hours of the session. Said the in
dependent Republican Philadel-
phia Inquirer: 'The disgraceful
failure of the 80th Congress to
provide a comprehensive pro-
gram for meeting the housing
shortage can now be corrected
in only one way: House and Sen
ate should be reconvened by their
leaders and kept in session until
they have discharged their duty

Senate eight weeks ago, is Nhe
blueprint of sound, vigorous at
tack on, one of our most serious
problems. It should be revived.
If it isn't, the 80th Congress will
have let the people down."
Reuther Gives Advice
Chairman Walter Reuther of
the CLOS Housing Committee
has urged Truman to recall Con-
gress directly after the two ma
jor party conventions end. By
then, the CIO leader warned,
millions of American, especially
veterans will realize that they
"have lost all practical possibility
of obtaining homes for years to
come as a result of the clumsy
but ruthless collusion between
the real estate lobby and group
of dictatorial political bosses" }"
Will Wake Up

home building industry, too, will
wake up in the next several days
