UPWA FIGHT-The opposition
faction of the CIO United Public
Workers of America charges that
UPWA's leadership is using union
funds and facilities to support the
presidential campaign of Henry
Wallace.
Known as the Build the Union
Committee, the rebel faction in its
new monthly publication, BUG
News, asserts that it docs not be-
lieve that the rank and file want
to join the fringe of extreme left
wing unions supporting the Wallace
party
Continuing it's blast against
UPWA's present leadership, the
rebel group declared: I'VE do not
believe that the rank and file sup
ports the front organizations to
which the leadership has given aid
and comfort. We do not believe
that UPWA members are happy
about the black eye that the union
has been given in public relations.
The Wallace charge evidently
stemmed from an accusation made
by UPWA Local 191 in Detroit that
union activity on behalf of the
Wallace candidacy will be decided
at UPWA's Atlantic City convention
in May. If it does, 1t would create

appears to be to postpone Classifica-

Brewery Agreement
Only One Completed

The Republican anti imitation bill
has been on the statute books more
than two months, but it has pro-
duced only one voluntary agreement
with an industry, . survey showed
last night.

But even this agreement is a con-
tinuation of program worked out
last year between the industry and
the Office of Defense Transportation
It has simply been moved into the
framework of the new law.
In the case of the brewers pro-
gram, formal acceptance by the
industry is awaited. However. Mr..
Anderson noted in his announce
ment that only one brewer had
filed an objection to the proposal
which would become effective April
Is. They include a ban on use of
wheat and table grade rice and a
Is per cent reduction in the use of
other grains.
The administrations key grain
saving project is still tied up in the
House Banking Committee, more
than a month after the Senate
passed the bill. 1t calls for the
industry to hold It's monthly

ernment sources estimate the in

bushels q month now.

The second bill is being drafted
by the Senate Armed Services Com
mittee and would grant suspension
dismissal powers to the military and

similar authority if the President
decided that security conditions
warranted it, under terms of the
measure.
No Right Of Appeal.
The employees involved would not
have the right of appeal to the
Civil Service Commission, except in
case where they sought other Gov

House conferees have written let

compromise they are offering will
be much fairer to Government en-
ployes than the measure now being
considered by the Senate Armed

One thing appears certain. In
view of the international situation,
Congress will approve some sort of
security dismissal bill this year.
Government employees unions must
decide soon which bill to support
the Senate committee measure
which limits dismissal powers, except
in unusual cases. to military intel
ligence agencies but which does not
provide for extensive appeals, or

gives all agencies the power to dis

To Back Jewish State

that the United States take q firm
stand for immediate creation of q
provisional Jewish government for
the Holy Land.
The lawmakers also proposed that
1t be backed up by a small Pales-

And they asked that the United

Newspaper Costs Rise
NPer Cent in 3Years,
Still Going Higher
BY The Assoeioted Press

NEW YORK, Mar. 27.-American
newspaper publishers are paying
about so per cent more to publish
their newspapers today than in
1945. and costs are still rising.
At the same time, their revenue
from advertising has risen about
SO per cent and from circulation
about IS per cent.
The Bureau of Advertising, of the
American Newspapers Publishers
Association, estimates its member
papers received 1868, 100000 from
national advertising in 1947, and
e721, ,000, 900 in local advertising.
Costs have skyrocketed, however,
and newsprint and ink for an aver
age $4,000 circulation paper are esti-
mated 80 per cent higher than three
years ago.
Other Raw Materials Higher.
Other raw materials have in
creased proportionately, the maga-
zine, Editor e. Publisher says, and
the expense of operating composing
rooms has increased about 50 per
cent: photo-engraving departments,
SO per cent; press rooms, 49 per
cent; stereotype departments. II
per cent; editorial, 38 per cent: ad-
vertising, 48 per cent. and circula-
ton, IS per cent, the magazine adds.
To meet this rising expense, about
800 newspapers increased circulation
rates in the last year, so that today
practically 80 per cent of all dailies
are listed at five cents.
There are no longer any one-cent
daily papers, and only 20 two-cent
papers. The number of three-cent
dailies has declined from 1862 to
153.
Six-Cent Dailies Forecast.
The f1ve-cent level until now has
been accepted as an unofficial CELL
ing, but some publishers predict the
country will see a rash of six-cent
and seven-cent dailies unless prices
are curbed.
Newsprint has been a steady
climber since depression days and
today is 100 per cent costlier than
in 1888. The current base price
of S97 ton is 426 per cent higher
than the last OPA price, and some
spokesmen say they believe news
print has about reached its peak
for this reason:
"If it goes much higher, Canadian
manufacturers fear the United
States will increase it's own manu-
featuring capacity, thus limiting ex-
ports to this country
Expected to Remain High.
World conditions, however, make
1t probable that newsprint will re-
main "sky high" almost indefinitely,
they add.
Newspapers that have announced
increased circulation rates since
March l are the San Bruno (Calif0
Herald; Albany (Oregon) Democrat
Herald; Portland (Oregon) Journal;
the Portland Oregonian. the Boston

tor.

more.
