Getting Tan?
Here's a Tip

Wise sun-seekers continue to give
their skin special care even after
they have acquired coat of tan.
Tanned skin can still burn and it
may get dried and leathery looking
unless well fabricated
To offset parching effects, smooth
generous quantities of baby oil into
your skin before each beach or
backyard summing period.
No matter how late in the season,
any near-water venture calls for
care. Water reflection can make the
sun real burning problem, even
for one whose color campaign is
well under way.
Along with the baby oil, the tan
ming enthusiast should tuck some
sort of head covering and pair of
good-quality sun glasses into her
beach bag. These make for trouble
free fun in the sun.

Gravy Train Riders
Get Slap On Wrist,
And Some AIibis

Washington (LPA) - Illinois
editors who took joyrides on form
er Governor Dwight Green's "gravy
train" were scolded last week by
the board of directors of the Am
erican Society of Newspaper Edit
ors. They shouldn't do it again, the
board declared.
The boards report is an after
math of the scandal created by the
disclosure that 81 newsmen in Ill
inois had secretly been on the state
payroll during the regime of Gov
ernor Green, Republican. They had
drawn a total of over half mill
ion dollars from the state treas
ury-in most cases for doing little
more than write blurbs glorifying
Green's COP.
Summing up an investigation of
the scandal, the ASNE's board de-
clared the practice of getting on
the state payroll wasn't new.
"There is substantial evidence y
the board said, "of a long-standing
political custom in Republican and
Democratic administrations in Ill
inois of rewarding some newspaper
publishers and their employees. +. 4.
by jobs on the state payroll, in
volving little or no service to the
public.
"We deplore this practice as an
improper use of public funds. We
condemn the acceptance of such
funds by newspapermen as un-
ethical and as contrary to the pub
lie responsibilities and obligations
of the press"
Then the board put in a few
licks in defense of the newsmen
by saying that some performed
legitimate jobs, and anyway, that
less than so newspapers out of S32
in the state were tied up in the
scandal.
Two newspapers - the Chicago
Daily News and St. Louis Post-Dis-
patch-were commended for break
ing the original story of the gravy
train, but at the same time the
press associations were whitewash-
ed of any deliberate intent to sup
press the yarn.
Their delay in carrying it, the
board claimed, was due merely to
faulty news judgment" The board
was silent, however, about the fact
that the press associations and big
dailies around the country didn't
touch the story until it was car
ried generally by Labor Press As
sociates and hundreds of trade
union papers.

Federal Study
Planned OfCoIor
.Video Possibilities

Washington (LPA)-Sen. Edwin
C. Johnson Cd, Colo.) has added
new fuel to the fire he likes to
keep burning under the Federal
Communications Commission. His
latest move is to call for an indie
pendent investigation of the possi-
bilities of color television.
Recently the FEC announced
that it was scheduling hearings on
plan for opening up new chan
nels in the ultra high frequency
range for television. Last week it
granted permission for three east
ern stations to carry on expert
mental work in color.
After the FEC announcement it
was learned that DR.. E. U. Condor,
director of the National Bureau of
Standards, was organizing com
mittee to look into color television.
Actually Sen. Johnson wrote to
DR.. Condor in May asking the
study. Copies of his letter were
sent to the FEC and to leading
manufacturers of television sets
and to broadcasters. So the FCC's
move to open up new channels and
to permit color experiments is re-
! garded by most people in Wash
ing as a result of the Senator's
letter.
Johnson asked DR.. Condor to
select independent scientists, "none
of whom are employed by or have
any connection, directly or indir-
ectly, with any radio licensee or
radio equipment manufacturer" to
make the study. The committee is
to have its first meeting early in
July, about the same time the FEC
launches its hearings on the new
channels.
Speaking for the Senate commit
tee on Interstate and Foreign Com
merce, Johnson said the commit
tees aim "is to encourage develop
ment of the radio art, and to press
for a nationwide, competitive tele-
vision service in the nations inter-
est.

fectly humane operations, for the
code has long and detailed direc-
tions about treatment of prisoners.
They are supposedly for the pur-
pose of political, educational, and
disciplinary influence" on the in
mates and are distinguished from
punitive colonies" and SOLITARY
confinement" which are reserved
for people who show an active re-
sistance to being indoctrinated.
A distinction is made between
"class-dangerous" people and just
plain buns. The buns are given
more freedom because they're less
likely to stir up trouble.
Mass-work camps "in distant
regions" are set up for workers
who, by the nature of the crime
committed, are the most class
dangerous, which necessitates the
application to them of severer
regimen" The ones who commit
lesser crimes (less political, that
is) are sent to agricultural colon
les.
Anyone showing "insubordina-
tion" in one of the work camps is
transferred to punitive" colony
where they really get the treat
ment.
That's what happens to workers
in Russia if they dare to vote
against the bosses.
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-08-04

Randolph also revealed that "in
spite of the furnishing experience
of the past year our membership
has slightly increased Ito almost
100000 and "the financial condition
of the union is better than it has
been for a great many years"
Officers reports to the conven-
tion carried some dramatic figures
on progress achieved thru the
union. Average earnings of print
ers last year reached $4,563, com
pared with S1,719 in the depress-
ion year of 1893. Average age Of
ITU members at death climbed to
a new high of $3.50 years. a half
century ago members died at an
average of AZ years.
''The increase in life expectancy
for union printers" the union said,
"may be attributed to better work
ing conditions, shorter working
hours, and the better living condi-
tions which higher wages make
possible.

Typos Convention
Will Be AT Oakland

Oakland, Calf. UPA)-A battle
over policy.to be pursued in fight
ing the Taft Hartley act will high
light a crucial convention of the
99-year-old Int'l Typographical
Union-AFL which gets under way
here August 13. 1t will be the 91st
conclave in the long history Of the
Typos and is slated to last a week.
Union officials, backed by mem
bership vote, have waged militant
drive against the fangs Of the TIL
law. They have refused to sign the
TIL type of contracts which, they
said, would jeopardize union shop
conditions almost a century old.
Disputes with publishers over
the issue have led to a series Of
strikes and lockouts. In self-de-
fense, the unions members voted
strike assessments, starting origin
ally at "a Of III, later raised to
5R of their pay.
Since 1916, members have paid
close to $50, 600, 900 into the defense
funds, Secretary-Treasurer D 0 n
Hurds convention report disclosed.
Almost $13,5O0,000 has been ex-
pended in the struggle, mostly for
strike benefits. The 20-months
Chicago strike has taken nearly
S11 ,000, ,000 of that.
President Woodruff Randolph, in
defended the policies followed by
the union.
These policies, he said, have been
attacked inside and outside the
union. Publishers have showered
printers with propaganda by our
own members Of political char
acter, issued for the purpose of
criticism, carries on the line so
often given out by employers, that
ITU officers are at fault" Ran
dolph said.
"These critics have no respon-
sibility for the welfare Of the union
They cater to the weakness or
greed of those who decry assess
ments or any kind of resistance to
the destructive efforts of employ
ers under Taft Hartley law license.
''The question of policy to be
followed is a life and death matter
for the craft and trade we follow.
Now more than ever it is i'm
portant that accomplishments
during the critical period of our
history be given more considera-
tion than propaganda of the en-
ployers or personal attacks level
led against those who have streng-
thened and preserved the ITU."
In another report, Randolph
stressed that the officers are "con-
vinced we followed the only policy
that would protect the ITU under
the impact of the Taft-Hartley law
and that there should be no change
in that policy at this time"

Unions Pushing
Safety For Bigger
Speedy DieseIs

New York (LPA) - Evidence
showing that the railroads expect
firemen assigned to Diesel locomo-
tives to service the motors while
the trains are in motion was pre-
sented before a presidential emer-
gency board here this week by the
Brotherhood of Locomotive Fire
men and Enginemen.
The Brotherhood has asked that
the railroads assign an extra fire
man to such locomotives, leaving
one man free to serve in the con-
troll room with the engineers. They
contend that it is a violation Of
safety principles to have but one
man at the controls of fast pass
enger and freight trains, to watch
for signals and distractions and
operate the controls.
Railroad workers from all parts
of the country took the witness
stand to tell of the operations of
the new Diesels on their roads.
Among the things they brought
out were:
The new Diesels have made it
possible for the railroads to oper-
ate longer and heavier trains at
greatly increased speeds, even in
mountainous areas
These fast trains often operate
with but a single man at the con-
trolls.
Firemen assigned to the Diesels
are required to pass examinations
on care of the motors, they are ex-
pected to service the motors during
their runs, and are called to ac-
count" if they fail to do so.
The final witness for the Broth
erhood was DR.. Horace A. Bacus,
an economist, who introduced a
number of accident reports as
proof of the high speeds at which
the Diesels operate.
The railroads are expected to re-
quire two weeks for testimony. The
board has received presidential ap-
proval for a time extension, giving
it until Aug. Is to complete its in
vestigation and submit its report.

British Have The Goods On
Soviet Russiu Slave Labor

Geneva (LPA)-Continual com
plants about slave labor in the
Soviet Union have, since the form
alton of the United Nations Econ
omic & Social Council, been casu-
ally waved aside by Soviet dele
gates to UN with a smooth denial
that any such thing exists in the
Russian state or its satellites.
This "you're a liar" and "no Pm
not" performance could have gone
on indefinitely if no one had come
up with legal evidence about the
Soviet concentration camps.
Such evidence, however, was
dramatically produced by the Bri-
tish at a UNESCO meeting here
the last week in July. The docu-
ment, an $500 word "codex" of the
Russian Soviet government, gives
detailed rules (147 of them) about
the corrective labor policy" of the
government. 1t is the first time it
has been published in English.
Partly because of translation
problems and partly because it is
written in government gobbledy-
cook and legal language, the Rus
sian forced labor code is rather diff
ficult to read. Perhaps that's one
reason it got narrower coverage
than might have been expected in
the American press.
The thing is worth plowing thru,
however, and once digested is no
thing short of startling to anyone
who doubted that the Soviet lead
ers are really quite righteous about
throwing political dissenters into
work camps.
In the words of the government
the code is designed to protest the
state against encroachments by
class-hostile elements and infringe
ments not only on the part of the
declassed elements but also of un-
stable elements among the work
ers."
The idea is to put such elem
ents" away where they can't do any
harm and re-educate them to the
ideas and conditions with which
they must live including the
"shock- brigade system" which are
sort of work armies.
These men and women are sent
to what the code describes as
'labor colonies of different sorts
to which the condemned are sent
in accordance with their labor
habits, their degree of class-dang-
erousness, their social position and
the success with which they are be-
ing corrected"
People may be sent to these
labor colonies by sentence in a
court of law" or by "decree of an
administrative organ" Cor y
Smith, British d lie gate to
UNESCO said, on releasing the re-
port, that it is estimated about 1O,-
100000 persons, or about one
tenth of the working force are
sentenced to some kind of forced
labor in Russia.
Factory and agricultural colon
les are apparently considered by
the Soviet government to be per-
