Surplus Virginia Apple
Purchasing Begins
BY the Associated Press

RICHMOND. Va. Oct. 13.-
The United States Agriculture
Department, through the State
Production and Marketing Ad-
ministration. has begun taking
orders for the purchases of Vir-
ginia apples under a surplus re-
moval program.
With headquarters at Win
chester, the State PIMA will &C
cept orders for the purchase of
up to 65 carloads-34,3 300 bushels
through October 20.
Growers must submit their Of
fers to sell by Monday, however,
and must furnish the PIMA with
official inspection certificates is
sued by the federal-State apple
inspection service.
PIMA officials said here purchase
of apples by the USDA had been
conducted in previous years, but
tAAoV CAlAo Woo g1lC 1ll oC UliC
program had been handled
through the PIMA. They said the
apples would be distributed free
to schools for lunch programs,
and to various institutional users,
including charitable hospitals.
Officials said the program would
run through December, and pur-
chase allotments might vary with
market conditions. Apples to be
bought must grade United States
No. l or State Fancy, and will be
bought at $170 per bushel basket,
or at the same rate for standard
packing boxes.
The Virginia apple crop this
year was forecast on October l
at 8,l60,000 bushels, compared
with 8.240.000 bushels produced in
1948. The 10-year 1938-47 aver
age yield was 1864 900 bushels.

votion to the dignity of the in
dividual and to the safeguards
by which that dignity is pre-
served in free society"
President William Green Of

his decisions he was living in
the present and not in the past"
John l.. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers point

work of establishing equality Of
privilege for all Americans"

our continuing growth and sue

future depends not on machines

WASHINGTON LPA) = The
fate of the Fair Employment
Practice bill in this session OF

mittee has scheduled a vote on

coalition-With northern Demo
Gratis and anti-race hate Repub-
licans combining forces to
squeeze the bill thru.
If approved, the measure still
faces hostile Rules Committee,
and even under the procedure
by-paSsing the Rules group could
not reach the House floor until
August 29-tentatively schedul-
ed as the date of Congress ad-
journment.
Supporters of the bill, includ-
ing Rep. Adam Clayton Powell
ID, N.Y., express confidence
that, despite these odds, they'll
clear the measure thru the House
and send it to a Senate filibuster
before the Session ends.

FRED HAAS, the humble as
aaaTlaY, IN a APR. is
By F. C. Kay

FRED HAAS, the humble as
sistant of Blake Wendt, of Main
tenance, again took advantage of
things in his own fashion while
Mr.. Wendt was vacationing.
Fred, did the management ap-
prove of the method you en-
ployed when dressing up our
parking lot, or even when in
stalling a new wash rack-with
non-union labor, at pay rate of
so to 70 cents less than the es-
tablished rate at your plant for
that type of work.
THE UNIT will gladly furnish
you with a copy of the contract,
to enable yourself to become
more familiar with the operation
of the union and the manage
ment, whereby you might get a
little feather in your bonnet by
saving the company the money
which now should be paid to
the men that were entitled to the
work.
A SKILLED supervisor would
never entertain a thought to en-
ploy outside rubbish haulers,
even if there were no men laid
off in mis- division.
THE MANAGEMENT should
supply Mr.. Wendt with another
assistant, solely to keep Mr.. Haas
in due bounds.
THE VACATION is over! The
fishermen are without the usual
big ones we got or that got away.
The fellow that caught five pike
on the take off figured wrong
by throwing four back, hoping
to catch bigger ones, and the
proof of the total catch for the
two weeks was ONE pike.
WELL, JAKE Y, although
you did have a birthday June %
we will remember you next
year. Red Hover is back on the
job, fellows, Red probably will
be in braces for a whole year.
We hope when you are able to
give the braces the pitch that
you will be better than new.
'Tis said that lessons on sales
manship can be obtained in
Dept. 40.
Journeyman cards are becom-
ing very popular at the Scales.
Do you carry one? If not, see
your delegate for an application
blank.
THE COUNCIL card commit
tee is processing them very rap
idly, and will be able to handle
few more at their next meet
ing. The skilled divisions of all
the UAW-CIO shops are urged
to attend the Aug. 2 meeting of
the Regional Council at Local

National
Supply Unit Neevs

OUR DEEPEST SYMPATHY
to the family of Gus Kohn who
recently passed away. We are
sure you all knew him. Most of
his time here at the National
was spent as a woodworker. He
compiled a most enviable rec
ord and he will be missed by all.
All was not well with our mite
and day Softball teams thruout
the entire season but the mite
team ended in glory as they de-
feated the day team recently. Al
ibis are in order for the day
team. If there are any questions
ask H. Lee. He seems to be a bit
delighted.
THE BUMPING THAT IS
taking place has even reached to
the laboratory and Fred don't
be frightened as you will make
out in dept. "A. Charlie Lick also
of the Lab. seems a bit snug, but
he is in position too, as 25 years
is quite a bit of seniority, and
we wouldn't care to see c. Lang
as an orphan. Anyone who
would care to bump into c. Ster-
lings dept. must know by mem
ory $4,000 parts. We have been
told that, that is one of his quail
ifications. We doubt that even
he knows that much.
Harold McVicker has finally
ended up in the heat treat dept.
3rd trick and he is wondering
what happened to Slim Mcneil
who worked the same trick.
Could it be Harold that one of
our extra foremen had to be
placed and eliminating Slim was
a likely move.
DoeS anyone remember WIleIl
old dept. 38 was in operation
and Frank Herr was line in
spector. The operators used to
call him by using firecracker
to awake him from his daily
sleep. Things haven't changed a
great deal for he sleeps in dept.
43 now.
The committee has been in
formed that the month of Au-
gust will be our poorest month
SO far as work is concerned but
we are all hoping that in the
fall, things will be on the up
turn.

crease under the "fair net oper-
ating income" guarantee in the
1949 rent control law is 1897
or SLAP per month per unit.
So out of every ten petitions ap-
proved claimed landlords had
made major capital improve
ments or had increased services.
100000 Units Involved
A total of nearly 100000 units
is involved in the landlord petit
tionS on which rent increases
have been officially approved by
the Housing EXpediter. Recent
liberalizations in other adjust
ment provisions as the Exped-
tier terms them - unioniSts and
tenants call them a blank check
Tor the landlords - "have not
yet had time to be fully reflect
ed in the reports from area Of
fices."
Sole exceptions to the steady
stream of cities being decontroll-
ed entirely were two parts of
Somerset County in Pennsyl-
vania, which was put back un-
der rent controls by the Hous-
ing Expediter July 18, after
rents rose an average of 77% be-
tween April, when controls were
lifted, and June.
1000 DecontrOlled
Meanwhile, the pace at which
Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
lifted rent controls, and local
governing bodies also took this
action, was. stepped up. Since
the 1949 rent control law went
into effect April l, nearly 705,-
900 dwelling units have been
entirely decontrolled.
Under the 1949 rent control
law, it is possible for local rent
advisory boards to ask, and for
the Housing Expediter to re-
place controls on areas he has
de-controlled. However, where
state and local governing bodies
take the action, the law provides
that federal controls cannot go
back into effect.
