Warm Spell Cuts Fruit
And Vegetable Prices

Warm weather during most of
the last week resulted in price
drops in many fresh fruits and
vegetables at retail stores here
but had no appreciable effect on
meat costs, dealers reported today.
The downward trend in pork
prices, however, slowed tempo
rarily as listings remained about
the same as last week. Dealers
attributed this more to a variety
of market factors than to weather
conditions. They predicted further
price cuts when the unusually
large crop of spring pigs hits the
market in increasing volume in
coming weeks.
Beef prices which dipped from
: to 10 cents In some chain store
quotations last week were about
back to their earlier levels. Poul-
try dropped on an average of
about 2 cents a pound over the
last week end but climbed back
today, dealers said.
There has been no change in
milk prices here. although several
chain stores In the New York Met
ropolitan area trimmed their
prices l to 1z cents a quart.
Those reductions came when two
major milk producers in that area
cut the price of home-delivered
milk. Officials of two of the larg-
est retail chain organizations in
Washington said they expected no
similar reduction here.
Produce men said continuing
warm weather pushed cauliflower.

LONDON. Oct. 13.-The Prot

fuss yesterday about a song by
Benjamin Britten, opera composer.
1t disliked the song because it
includes the words Ave Maria, "

1t asked Prime Minister Attlee
not to seal the composition into a

went ahead and did so anyway.
The cornerstone ceremony was

Powerful Support
Reported for Merger
OF ! Leftist Unions
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Oct. 13.-A powerful
group within the CIO Farm Equip
ment Workers Union went to bat
yesterday for a proposal to merge
with the left-wing CIO United
Electrical Workers.
The FE, in a statement. re-
ported last night it had received
a proposal from UE (which would
permit the FE's membership to
join UE and retain their demo-
cratic rights and autonomy"
The statement said FE's 50-man
Harvester Council voted power
full backing" for the proposal at
. meeting yesterday.
Representing a majority of FE's
membership. the council claims to
speak for 10000 employees of II
plants of international Harvester
CO. in Illinois, Indiana, Kentucky
and New York.
These two left wing unions have
been reported on the verge OF
breaking away from the CIO to
form third major labor organiza-
tion.
Grant Oakes, FE president. has
denied that he and other FE off,
cials voted secretly to bring their
union into the UE.
No details of the UE proposal
were given in FE's statement. An
FE spokesman declined to elabo-
rate.
The council recommended that
the FE international Executive
Board accept the UE proposal,
and submit it to a referendum OF
the unions membership.
Gerald Fielde, director of the
council, was quoted in the state
ment as saying:
Harvester workers, by demo-
cratic process, have again voted to
champion democracy and the mil
liant brand of trade unionism
which the founding principles of
the CIO demand.
while the rank-and-f men,
bership of FE will make the final
decision, as they always have in
every policy matter, this unani-

AFL And CIO Chiefs Will Discuss
New World Labor Body This Week

Washington (LPA)-Taking ad-
vantage Of the presence in this
country of top leaders of the Bri-
tish Trades Union Congress, AFL
and CIO chiefs will meet with them
this week to talk about the pro-
jected new worldwide organiza-
tion of democratic trade unions.
First public announcement Of the
meeting came from CIO Secretary
Treasurer James B. Carey, address
ing a CIO union convention in New
York.
AFL headquarters in Washing
ton promptly confirmed that organ
ization's willingness to sit down
with CIO and TUG leaders for in
ternational labor talks.
The British have already had
separate conversations with AFL
and CIO spokesmen. Both AFL
President William Green and CIO
President Philip Murray are ex-
pected to participate personally in
the important meeting this week.
Among the British union lead
ers currently in the US for a meet
ing Of the Anglo-American Joint
Production Council are Arthur
Deakin, who resigned as president
of the World Federation of Trade
Unions, after he and Carey had
been rebuffed in their attempts to
keep it from being a Communist
mouthpiece, and TUG General Sec
rotary Vincent Tewson.
In a statement released in Lon
don last week Deakin, Tewson,
Carey and Evert Kupers, president
of the Dutch Federation of Trade
Unions, which pulled out of the
WFTU along with the CIO and
TUG said:
There is no longer a world
federation; the oldest and most
trade union movements
are outside of it. The Communists
have made the WFTU an instru-
ment for worldwide dissemination
of their propaganda"
The statement has been sent to
union centers thruout the world,
urging them to disavow the

Labor Contribution
To Handicapped

Washington, d. c. (ILNS). -
"In helping the handicapped to
help themselves we are but per-
forming our duty as Christians and
good citizens" William p. McCahill
told the American Federation of
Government Employees here.
Speaking before the District De-
partment of the AFL group, Nc
Cahill, assistant to the chairman
of the Presidents Committee for
Employment Of the Handicapped,
said that equality of opportunity
and chance to make good in spite
Of handicap was the joint pro-
gram Of labor and government. He
reviewed the considerable contri-
button Of the labor movement to
employment of the handicapped
and concern for injured workers
and quoted from the report of the
labor committee which insisted
that "every handicapped person in
America shall have the opportunity
to develop his abilities and use
them in profit to himself and in
service to society"
Stressing the U. S. Department
Of Labor's continued interest and
active work for the handicapped,
he quoted Secretary Tobin's state
ment that justice, not charity, abil-
ity, not disability, should be "the
passwords to economic security for
the handicapped"
The Presidents committee is
headed by Vice Admiral Ross r.
McIntire, (MC), U.S.N., Retd., and
includes top labor officials from a
large number of national and in
ternational unions.

Handouts For Heal Care Still
On1v ANA Answer To Insurance

Washington (LPA)-The first Of
what is expected to be a series o.
compromise" h | t h insurance
bills, sponsored by the American
Medical Assn or its allies, wen
into the Congressional hopper this
week and Immediately drew {
scathing denunciation from sup
porters of President Truman's ma,
tional health insurance program.
The first of the alternative pro.
posals came from Sen. Lister Hill
Cd, Ala.) and four Senate col
leagues. 1t proposed to authorize
grants from the federal treasury
to subsidize membership in volun-
tary health insurance programs fol
those who could not afford to pay
for membership. 1t was, thus, a
slightly different version of the
Taft charity" measure which or
ganized labor bitterly opposed last
year.
DR.. c h aiming rockingham,
chairman of the Committee for the
Nations Health, which is leading
the fight for the Presidents pro-
gram, Immediately denounced the
Hill bill as "either fraud on the
American people or a proposal to
appropriate billions of dollars out
of the Treasury without any as
surance that it will provide ade-
quate medical care" Subsequently
the Committee for the Nations
Health issued a more detailed
analysis of the bill, showing that
it was a "blank check" drawn on
the Treasury which would not pro-
vide adequate protection.
Hill's bill, which was drafted in
collaboration with leaders of the
Pennsylvania Medical Society and
others in the camp of organized
is expected to be follow
ed shortly by a similar measure
from Sen. Robert A. Taft Or,
Ohio). Taft already has described
the general outline of his measure,
which would be limited to helping
the 20R of the families at the bot
tom of the income level.
A series of questions by DR..
rockingham pointed up the defic-
iencies in the Hill bill. Would the
people unable to pay the costs Of
care" include only the bot
tom 20% of the families of the ma
ton? Or would it include the fam
lies making between $12C0 and
$4,000? "If he goes up to $30O0,"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-04-07

said rockingham, adding this is
the figure the American Medical
Assn fixed 10 years ago as the
level above which families could
pay their medical bills, "he covers
most of the people and provides for
paying billions of dollars out of
the Treasury. Perhaps that is why
his bill carries no limitation on the
appropriation. On the other hand,
unless he goes at least that high,
he does not begin to meet the
medical problem faced by the ma
tion."
"Who is going to pay the other
90%," Forthingham asked. Does
Sen. Hill propose to pay it out of
the Treasury as the British are
now doing? Now isn't it more sem
sible to do as the President pro-
poses-collect nominal amount
from every worker every pay day
to insure his medical costs of all
kinds? That is the sensible, sane
and American way of doing the
job"

Liberals Hit
'FBI Tactics

Washington (LPA)-Two liber
al organizations, Americans fol
Democratic Action and the Ameri.
can Civil Liberties Union, last
week asked Senate Judiciary Com
mittee Chairman Pat McCarran to
investigate use by the Justice
Dept of wire tapping.
FBI Director j. Edgar Hoover's
admission that his outfit had been
tapping wires is an admission of
illegal action, they pointed out.
Meanwhile, ADA and ACLU
wrote McCarran, they support his
own deletion of a wire-tapping per-
mission contained in a bill which
Attorney General Tom Clark has
submitted to Congress.
But, they declared, even the
limited" amount of wire-tapping
which Hoover has admitted is il
legal and should be investigated.
Liberal-labor pressure resulted
last week in Clark's withdrawing
the request for wire tapping per-
mission, which McCarran had al
ready stricken from the Justice
Dept bill.
Clark issued, however, a defense
of Hoover's wire tapping, main
tanning that altho an act of Con-
gress bars use of evidence obtained
from the sneak practice it doesn't
outlaw all wire tapping in clear
terms.
Several signers of the ADA
ACLU protest said that they don't
accuse Hoover or Clark of deliber-
ately violating the law, but think
the whole topic bears investiga-
tion.

West Codst Congressman
And Unions, Ask Ship Work

Washington (LPA)-A drive by
AFL metal trades unions and
Western congressman to get fair
ALLEGATION of government shipyard
contracts for the west coast gain
ed momentum this week.
Thirteen House members from
California, Oregon and Washing
ton called on President Truman to
lay the problem before him and ask
for help. They were led by Rep
Richard j. Welch OR, Calif.) and
Henry M. Jackson Cd, Wash.).
Out of government program
for ship construction in the inter-
ests of national defense, running to
several hundred millions, the west
coast has so far not received a
single contract, the congressman
pointed out. Most of the contracts
have gone to east coast yards.
Maritime Commission spokesman
claim this is due, not to partiality,
but to the fact that the eastern
yards have been the low bidders.
Welch, Jackson and their asso-
ciates stressed that, whatever the
reason for this discrimination, the
west coast is being unfairly frozen
out. Furthermore, nation security
will Sllffar thew told President
Truman, if the west coast yards
should be forced to close down be-
cause of lack of orders.
Right now there isn't a single
merchant ship under construction
between San Diego and Seattle" !"
Welch said. "Our yards are going
to rack and ruin for lack of work"
Jackson and others also cited the
fact, if the west coast yards are
starved out, the nation will lose
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-04-07

their shipbuilding know-how anC
skilled manpower in shipyaro
trades.
This will create a particularly
serious situation for the nation
Jackson said, if the Panama Cana
were, in some emergency, knocked
out of commission. This would
mean ships couldn't get through
from the east, and meanwhile il
would take a long time to revive
dormant west coast yards, for
building of new ships to defend the
nation, Jackson pointed out.
The congressman agreed that
west coast yards cannot underbid
east coast yards on contracts, be-
cause their wages are higher and
their costs are greater since much
of the materials they use must be
shipped across-country from the
east.
To solve this, they proposed two
steps be taken: (D that the west
coast yards be allowed an ade-
quate differential when it comes to
bidding, and (2) that the govern
ment allocate a fair division of
ship contracts to the west coast
without consideration of cost.
President Truman, they said, was
Every sympathetic and understand
ing" of the problem and assigned
his assistant, DIR. John r. Steel
man, to aid the congressman in
getting the matter worked out.
If it should be found that the
made by the delegation
cannot be carried within the frame
work of present laws, new legisla-
tion will be pushed through Con-
gresS, Jackson said.

MORE JOB OPPORTUNITIES

New York LPA)-The advant-
age of having a fair-employment
law was revealed here last week
in the annual report filed by the
State Commission Against Dis
elimination. "There is no import
ant area Of employment in New
York State that has not felt the
impact of the commissions efforts
to eliminate discrimination" the
report said. The commission, which
handled 453 cases during 1948, list
ed eight labor unions that had
eliminated constitutional provisions
limiting membership to whites.

Ship owners have been trans

People everywhere in the United
States are adopting" the child

way to help children but also a
way to take part in the work of

amounts, from children.
