Dear Constituent:

Dear Constituent
A STEP toward providing more housing for
AA middle families was taken last
week by the House, which voted $3.50 000,-
600 to insure private loans and mortgages for
the construction and improvement of homes.
Liberals who were hoping that provisions
for non segregation, direct loans to veterans
and loans to cooperatives would be retained
in the measure, now are looking to the Senate
to restore these benefits to the final draft of
the bill which will be worked out in confer
ence between the two houses, once the Senate
votes on the bill reported by its Banking and
Currency Committee.
Sen John J. Sparkman, Cd, Ala), chair
man of the subcommittee on housing, has an
nounced that he believes the Senate will pass
the full Administration bill, including direct
loans to veterans and loans to cooperatives,
The provisions were contained in H.R. 4576,
which | introduced, and were included in the
omnibus bill reported out of committee Both
were stricken from the House measure, along
with the civil rights amendment, at the in
sstence of House leaders who feared the bill
would not pass otherwise
The fact that he could save an estimated
S200,OO0,000 next year and S5OO,000000 the
following year without weakening our de-
fenses made a pretty strong argument for
Secretary of Defense Louis Johnson when he
announced slash of 135 900 civilian workers
from the armed forces payroll last week
Mr.. Johnson, in conference with con-
gressmen made several emphatic statements
There has been great waste in our National
Defense set-up and it must not continue he
said. The proposed cuts will in no way weaken
our National Defense, he asserted Further
the Secretary pointed out, while he disliked
to deprive workers of Jobs we must face the
fact that the $4,000 workers no longer are
needed and it is not the business of the armed
forces to maintain a WPA.
In our district the cut will mean laying off
70 workers at the Rossfotd Ordnance Depot
Since the reduction is effective as of June 30
any reductions made since that time will be
included in the 70, All reductions in force are
expected to be completed by November /.
Viewed from my corner, Federal Aid to
Education is down for the count as far as this
session of the 5lst Congress is concerned. The
most recent attempt to get action, forced

tee on petition of l3 members failed when

Your Congressman Reports
From Rep. Thomas H. Burke

majority of committee members boycotted the
meeting SO that we had no quorum
There seem to be three main reasons why
we cannot reach any agreement on an educa-
ton bill One, of course, is the religious issue
which arose over the question of auxiliary
services to parochal schools. Another is the
states rights issue which involves the amount
and kind of control the federal government
would maintain over expenditure of federal
grants to schools, and a third is the opposition
of some members of the committee to any form
of federal aid to education
was disappointed that l could not gain
more support for the Burke Bill, providing
for federal aid exclusively in the field of
public school teachers salaries. | felt this
would meet the most pressing need in our
public schools, more and better teachers and
at the same time would not be Objectionable
to religious groups, which are asking only
such services as transportation, textbooks and
health benefits for all school children.
AT the request of the Ottawa County Farm
Bureau, l checked with the Rural Electrified
ton Administration concerning the granting
of a loan of S12 900, 900 to the Eastern Ohio
Power Cooperative to finance construction of
a As 900 XIV steam electric generating plant
an approximately 400 miles of transmission
lines and associated substations. | was in
formed by William j. Neal, acting admins"
traitor that the loan request still is being
studied to determine to what extent the rural
areas of the state would be benefited
The Ottawa County Farm Bureau main
tains that if the loan Is approved, not only
will Eastern Ohio farmers benefit, but farm
ers throughout the state will feel its effect in
lower electric rates.
subcommittee to study labor-manage
ment relations is being set up by the House
Education and Labor Committee and there is
a good chance that members will visit Toledo,
during the Congressional recess, to study To-
ledo's Labor -Management-Ci Citizens Committee.
House members, tired of waiting for the
Senate to catch up with its work and piqued
at the Senate's refusal to permit the House
a 3-week vacation while Senate mills grind
on, voted to hold only token meetings for the
next three weeks. No official business will be
conducted and most house members are re-
turning home for the period
My own plans will get me into Toledo this
weekend but because of committee work /
will return to Washington shortly after Labor
Day.

Sen. Taft's Horrible Example'
Proves Absolutely False
From OHIO CIO Council

That fountain of mis-information, SEN
ator Taft, came UP with dily of boner
in the Senate recently.
He repeated it on the radio and, OF
course, the newspapers gave it wide pub
licity. for it was another of the usual Taft
attacks on Labor.
This time Taft claimed that a Youngs-
town printer was barred from membership
in the international Typographical Union
and was frozen from jobs in Youngstown
because he had learned his trade in a non
Union shop.
Taft called this a horrible example"
and said it showed that there must be leg
islation curbing the closed shop and pro-
tecting the civil rights" of individuals
who seek employment in Union shops.
Youngstown Local 200 of the ITU
promptly exposed Tafts horrible exam
pie" as a complete fake.
The president of the Local proved to
Senator Hubert Humphrey that at no time
in the 65-year history of the ITU in
Youngstown had a printer been denied
membership because he learned his trade
in a non-Union shop.
No branch of the ITU, anywhere, ever
had that policy, President NJ M. Martin
said. He presented tabulation of all the
members initiated into the Youngstown
Local in the last IL years. Half of them
had learned their trade in non-Union
shops.
Eqaully false, Martin proved, was
Tafts assertion that every print shop in
Youngstown was unionized and that there
fore, a non Union man couldn't get job
Unfortunately, Martin said, eight Youngs-
town printers ran "open shops"
Martin wrote Humphrey, I'VE are glad
Senator Taft pointed his finger at us be-
cause it gives us an opportunity of show
ing how ridiculous these false charges
are"
Martins letter was released to the
press that had played up the senator's
charges. Strangely enough, the refutation
of Taft's false charges was only published
in the Labor press.
And the senator himself hasn't opened
his mouth about Youngstown printers
since.

anti-Labor members of Congress with more
progressive legislators found themselves in
the position OF a convaescent They were
eager to be up and doing full of ideas, but
they found that regaining their strength after
the weakening plague of the reactionary Both
Congress was a slow, patience demanding
business,
complications set in The Dixiecrat-GOP
coalition managed vicious showdown in COM
nnittees of both Houses of Congress, which
kept many important bills from ever reaching
the floor Those which did come up for de-
bate were hampered and delayed, and in one
memorable case defeated, with filibuster
tactics.
However, gains have been made The La
Dor bill passed by the Senate may be tenn
porary defeat but it must be remembered that
while the S0th Congress contained more than
enough administration votes to override
the Presidents veto of the Hartley act,
no such majority can be mustered to override
a presidential veto of the new Taft bill
Voting has been close on the highly con-
troversial issues. Taft supporters won their
victory by the slim margin of II votes Ad-
ministration leaders were able to corral
enough votes in the House to have a similar
bill passed by the House in May returned to
committee
THE hot contests. even the defeats, have
served purpose. They have shown us where
our weaknesses lie They have emphasized the
fact that the liberal forward thinking people
of this country must not relax their efforts to
replace reactionary obstructionistS with lib
erals and to retain in Congress the men and
women who have worked for and voted for
progressive legislation"

Ex-Gps To Get Dividend
On War-Risk Insurance

Beginning August 2sth any veteran Of
World War IL who had Gil insurance policy
in force for at least three months can make
application for his share of two and half
billion dollar dividend
Application forms can be obtained at any
post office Veterans Administration office or
al any veterans organization. The form is easy
TO fill out and few veterans should have
trouble with IT, There are only nine blanks
for the veteran to fill in
The first three blanks require only the
name and permanent address of the veteran.
Blanks Nos. and are for the designation of
his serial number as an enlisted man or officer
and his branch Of service Blank No calls
for the month, day and year of his birth Blank
No. IS for his insurance policy number Blank
No. Is for the number of any claim that he
may have made 10 the Veterans Administra-
tion. Blank No. is for his signature
IL the vet doesn't know the number of his
insurance policy (blank No ~ il doesn't make
any difference, as the Veterans Administration
will fill the information in on the form, II
the vet doesn't know his claim number (bank
No. 81 the same is true. Many veterans have
never filed claim anyway
The dividend is made possible because
casualties IN World War II were not as great
as were anticipated when premium rates were
established Just how much veteran will re-
eeive is not now known, as the formula of cal
culauon mas not been released But " Is safe
TO say that dividends will run anywhere from
so cents to $500 Length of service, age, and
other considerations will determine the amount
of the individual refund.
Veterans should not write the Veterans
Administration, as this would only slow up
the big job of making refunds The Veterans
Administration contemplates mailing out the
refund checks sometime in January 1880.
They will go out at the rate of 100000 per
day, and the sooner veteran gets his spplica-
ton form in, the more likely he is to be one
of the first 10 get his check
This is no hand-out or gratuity to the vet
eran. II is simply refund of an overpsyment
which he made, and veterans should file for
the refunds.

Living Together
By RUTH TAYLOR

As THE judge in the div.
orce court said: "It used
to be that people were mar
ried for better or for worse,
but now it seems to be most
ly to be just for the better.
They won't stand the worse"
You have to put up with
all sorts of things to live with
other people. 1t takes team
work, both sides being willing
to work together. 1t means
you have to think of the other
mans rights as your respon-
sibility.
Each person, or each group,
or each nation, always be-
lieves himself or itself is the
standard by which all men
should be measured. He or
it is right. Therefore, it fol-
lows that others should and
must conform to that standard
of rightness.
But when people begin to
work together, they learn to
know that there are varying
shades of rightness. They be-
gin to assume that theirs is
not the only side.
Living together either as
individuals or nations, requir-
es understanding, and what is
more, a willingness to under
stand. Interdependency does
not mean the other fellow
must do all the giving. Re-
lationships must be recipro-
cal if they are to endure.
Danger does not lie so much
in what people believe-but
in the uncompromisingness
with which they hold those
beliefs. It is much easier to
be critical than to correct.
The strength of any lasting
association lies in agreement
upon fundamental ideals, in
willingness to concede to the
other the rights we want for
ourselves, in our interest in
the others good fortune, and
in our friendliness or loving
kindness. In short, and to be
very trite, it needs the strict
application of the Golden
Rule in all things.
Human kindness is the
foundation of life on earth.
Certainly there are occasions
when differences arise But
it is up to us to so hondle our
selves that we can meet in
peaceable fashion those with
whom we disagree and can
learn to work out a way to
solve our mutual problems.
That is all that living together
means-whether or not we

Inside America
written by the staff of The CIo News)
ZONE next spring, chances

ZONE next spring, chances
~ are the country will have
a 75-cent minimum wage law
"a 35-cent increase from the
Accent level that's been in eff
feet since 1899.
But before you cheer too
long or too loud, chances also
are that more than a million
workers now covered by the
Wage-Hour Law may no long
er be so protected-and that
protection afforded eligible
workers under the law will be
seriously weakened.
The 75-cent provision was
contained in bills passed by
both House and Senate during
August. But House bill also
provides for slicing million or
more workers out of laws
coverage; Senate bill, consid-
erably better, would never
theless exclude an estimated
100000.
What version of bill will fl
nally emerge depends on ac-
ton of joint Senate-House
conference committee, which
must work out final compro-
mise. Senate members of that
group are led by strong Fair
Dealers-Jim Murray (MontO,
Claude Pepper (Fla.), Ebert
Thomas (Utah). They'll fight
hard to knock out worst of
House proposals.
Il y
What's wrong with House
passed ge-Hour Bill was
summed up recently by Sol
Barkin, research director of
CIO Textile Workers.
Says Barkin: House bill is
utterly hypocritical and de-
ceptive." 1t would raise the
minimum wage - but for as
few people as possible"
Textile Union economist also
thinks House bill will remove
from Wage-Hour Acts pro-
lection many hundreds of
thousands of employees in a
wide variety of businesses who
have been protected by the
Wage Hour Law for the past
10 years" In addition, Bar
kin sees loopholes for weak
ening 40-hour week and over
time sections for those. who
are still protected by law,
It adds UP to the fact that
unions interested in maintain
ing strong Wage-Hour protec-
ton had better talk to their
Congressman and Senator's
but quick.

There are many ways of
ghting Communism and
building strong democracy
but two exhibits of how NOT
to do it have recently been be-
fore the public.
One way NOT to fight Com
munism is through mob action
such as in recent breaking up
of concert scheduled by Com
munist-adherent Paul Robson
in Peekskill, N. Y. There, mis-
guided vets, drunks and others
forgot that in a free country
everybody has right to talk
