Pension Program
sy The Assoeiotsd Press

COLUMBUS, Ohio. June 28.-
The executive vice president OF
the American Newspaper Guild,
CIO, has called for q SIS. 900 .000-
a-year pension plan in the news
paper industry.
Sam Z. Eubanks Of San Fran
cisco called for the plan In .
speech at the opening Of the
guilds convention here yesterday.
The guild. he said. faces two ma
jor tasks In 1949:
/. Obtaining retirement income
for employees In the newspaper In
dustry.
2. Improving performance Of
the American press rs . task Of
public welfare.
Pointing out the industry does
not have q pension plan, Mr..
Eubanks declared:
The industry can afford. and
we have proved 1t can afford. the
SIS ,000, 900 q year Git would cost )"
No Cut In Profits.
The ANG vice president said
the pension plan could be set up
without cutting newspaper profits
"if the publishers would face
courageously and honestly their
dealings with newsprint pro-
ducers."
He attacked profits made by
newsprint companies and said
publishers were permitting them
selves to be "milked by a smartly
run group Of corporations"
Declaring the newspaper indus
try was almost mentally sick.
Mr.. Eubanks asserted II the In
dustry continues to behave as 1:
has. it will jeopardize our econom-
ic POSITIONS"
Guild criticism Of newspaper
performance should be motivated
by concern for the public welfare,
he added.
Not Fully Inforped
"It is time we admitted the
average reader is not getting full
information" Mr.. Eubanks de-
clared, mot so much from mall
cious intent. but from obsolete
techniques in the handling oi
news, poor judgment and insufd.
cient information by supervisors.
1T is the responsibility Of the
free press to keep the electorate
well and fully informed" he said
1T is q fact well established that
newspapers are not doing the job.

Cleveland Press. will be the prin.

Inadequate pay, however, is
causing many of our finest teach
ers to leave the profession. He
cited instances where teachers
left to take jobs as mattresses and
taxi drivers because the pay was
more.
He told of state school finances,
and said that the system does not
have the funds to maintain an
adequate program. One proof OF
this, he said, is that at present
5000 additional classrooms are
needed in the state.
He explained the federal aid

share under this bill would be

British Labor Paper
Sees No '49 Election
BY the Assoeiotsd Press

LONDON, Oct. 4.-The Labor.
lite Daily Herald threw cold water
today on talk of close-at-hano
British general election-but con-
ceded changing political condi-
tions might bring an early vote.
Ernest Jay. political correspond
ent of the Labor Party's organ
wrote:
"On the known facts and cir
cumstances Of the situation, both
home and international, there will
be no general election this year."
But Mr.. Jay added that "un-
foreseeable circumstances" might
arise which would make an early
election desirable.
The Labor Governments full
term does not end until next July,
though the government can call a
general election at any time.
Talk has been current in Eng
land recently that Labor might
call such a snap" election soon,
hoping to secure another term
before rising commodity prices
expected In the wake Of currency
devaluation-could turn the voters
against the ruling party.
Mr.. Jay declared the chief ar
gument against an election this
fall was that two important meas
ures now going through Parlia-
ment would be lost, at least tenn
porarily. These are the bill to
nationalize the steel industry and
anotherreducing the power Of the
House Of Lords to delay legisla-
ton from two years to one.
