Labor Support Is Urged To
End Harmful Tax Practices
Especial to ILNS)

New York City.-A New Years
appeal to American workers to
make "1949 year Of economic and
social progress by stamping out
harmful tax practices" has been
issued by the Council OH Discrim-
inatory Tax Legislation. The mess
age was sent TO 1000 national
state, regional and other central
labor bodies in the United States.
Failure Of the goth Congress to
pass vitally important legislation
leaves the nation with many un-
solved issues, the message said
Singing out anti-margarine taxa
tion as an outstanding example of
discrimination against consumer
and low-income groups, the coun-
Gil recalled that last years repeal
battle had been lost by a small
margin. Repeal was supported by
the American Federation Of Labor,
the CIO, Int'l Association of Ma
chinists, United Mine Workers,
Communications Workers of Amer
lea, and other independent unions.
Now that the complexion of Con-
gress has changed, organized labor
must make sure that repeal of this
60-year tax injustice becomes a
fact, the council emphasized.
Labor action in promoting the
public welfare needs strong sup
port from the membership back
home, the message pointed out, adj
vising union officers and members
to communicate with their Con-
Senators and state re-
presentatives.
"Your cooperation with civic
groups seeking repeal of economic
ally unjustified consumer taxes
will also be most helpful. In union
here is strength, and if labor's
strength can be employed in unison
With other democratic and pro-
sressive forces no time should be
ost. Success depends on your
prompt action and wholehearted
lelp."

Orders Racial Ban
Lifted At Airport

Washington (LPA)-Battle lines
are being drawn this week in one
Of the initial attempts to put Pre-
sident Truman's Civil Rights pro-
gram into effect. The issue has
arisen over the Civil Aeronautics
Administrations banning of racial
discrimination at Washington's Ma
tional Airport-located in Virginia.
Airport Administrator Bennett
Griffin announced that he would
Immediately comply with CAA's
order to render all services and
facilities without discrimination"
But the company which operates
food concessions at the airport re-
fuses to comply with the govern
ment regulation until we see if
it's legal"
Air Terminal Services Inc, own
ers of airport restaurants, stated
that ''the company intends to main
tain status quo. The order, which
has the effect of setting aside Vir-
ginia laws, means that we can be
fined and imprisoned if the Vir-
ginia statute applies and we dis
obey it."
CAA countered that its order
was issued under authority of a
federal act which empowers the
agency to issue orders controlling
at the airport.
Controversy over whether Vir-
ginia's segregation laws apply to
federal property has been raging
for years. Unsuccessful efforts
were made to have the "do-noth-
ing" Congress pass legislation
which would end embarrassment
over the governments having to
recognize state laws which are
to national policy. In
speaking of this situation, D. w.
Rentzell, Civil Aeronautics admin
said ''It was first believed
that CAA could not prohibit seq
regation in view of the apparent
Incorporation of a Virginia statute
into the Federal law. The 80th Con-
gress was requested to clarity the
legislation but no action was taken.
We have now been advised by the
Justice Dept. that we have ample
to issue this regulation
without new legislation"
Three court cases are still pend
ng regarding enforcement of the
state statute in Airport dining
'ooms.

Strike Decline
During November

Washington. - The number OF
work stoppages declined in Novem-
Der, according to preliminary esti-
mates of the Bureau of Labor Sta
tistics. About 200 stoppages began
in the month, as compared with
240 in October.
A decline in strike activity is
usual toward the years end, the
bureau reported. Last year the
number of work stoppages dropped
from PIG in October to 178 in Nov
ember, and 119 in December.
approximately 10000 workers
were involved in the stoppages be-
ginning in November, 1948. This
compares with 10000 in October.
Idleness also declined slightly,
from an estimated 100000 man
days in October to 100000 in
The dock strikes on the
east and west coasts We're the
largest disputes in effect during
The east coast strike Of
began November 10
and ended about two weeks later.
The west coast strike involving
some seagoing personnel as well
as dock workers, which began Sep
tember 2, continued throughout No
vember and into early December.
A total of about 375 stoppages,
involving 10000 workers, were in
effect during November. This in
,ludes dispuates that continued
nto November from preceding
months as we'll as those which be-
gan in November.

erations were more nearly COM

By PROF. ABBA p. PERNER
Roosevelt College

After the atom bomb had made
it more obvious than ever that the
most important immediate problem
facing humanity was to nd out
how men could live in peace, the
Senate decided to leave social
science out of the National Science
Foundation bill. This book is Stuart
Chase's response to that supreme
example of Senatorial ignorance or
responsibility.
Writing in his unique combina-
ton of entertaining simplicity and
wise recognition of the important,
Stuart Chase in "The Proper Study
of Mankind" (Harper Bros. $3.50)
shows the reader the nature of
science, and of social sciences as
the most important part of it,. for
the future of the world and for the
wellbeing of mankind. He rapidly
displays before the reader the
realms of anthropology, sociology,
economics, politics and psychology,
and is especially good in showing
their interactions with each other.
He thoroughly demolishes the
that would make the
of science different when
studying man than when studying
other parts of nature.
Perhaps the most important part
of his book is its emphasis on the
nature of human culture in form
ing the individual and setting limits
to the possibilities of change in the
behavior of masses of humanity.
This reminder to reformers and re-
of the nature of the
subject matter they wish to man.
lpulate, can serve to prevent untold
failure of idealism and perversions
IF good intentions into the aggra-
Vation of the very evils that the
reformers are eager to eliminate.
He introduces scientific socialism,
,or example, to science.
1t is inevitable that an attempt |
o cover all social science in a
small volume will be quite super
icial, even if the author did not
llso give himself the additional /
ask of illustrating his main thesis
~ striking examples and repeat
ng and emphasizing the basic les
ons so that no reader can miss
hem. This makes it very easy for
very specialist to find unnumer-
BILE faults in the treatment of his
wn field.
Stuart Chase tells US several
ines that if he had put in all the
hings he would like to put in the
ook he would have produced an
ther encyclopaedia of the social
ciences. We should be grateful
hat he has not done that. If he
ad produced an encyclopaedia the
rrors would have constituted SER
,us objections. What he has done
lay be much more important than
mother encyclopaedia.
He has produced a book that
should read, and not least
he specialists who may be annoy
/ with the part dealing with their
Decialty. They should read it for
lie salutary reminder of the place |
{ their work within the frame I
ork of social science and all I
,ience. 1t is most important that !
should be read by the Senators 7
{ the United States, but it is al a
ost as important that it should z
2 read by those who elect them. Q
nd there is a good chance that
great number of them will, for :
ot only will readers benefit, they t
i'll have a lot of fun. q

Comment On
World Events

A report after the fact, not a
preview, Of what war Of annihila-
ton can mean through generations
comes from Paraguay in an ac-
count Of visit there by DIR. Regi-
nald Passmore of the University
of Edinburgh. His visit was made
in the course Of special mission
undertaken for the United Nations
international Children's Emergency
Fund to several American Repub-
lies.
The doctors description Of Para
quay reads like novelist's account
of human society after the next
war" except for one all important
difference. The real-life survivors
did not set about building a "brave
new world" as H. G. Wells and
others would have it; instead, they
struggled against great odds to
build back even a semblance of the
old social order. At least, such has
Deen true IN Paraguay.
i = =
The war DR.. Passmore describes
was fought more than 80 years
ago, when the Paraguayans en-
gagged the Triple Alliance of
Argentina, Brazile and Uruguay.
They fought with such stubborn
ness that at the end only $4,000
males were said to have been left
alive in Paraguay, and of those
most were either young boys or
old men. Females were said to have
men more than 10 to
one. Again, from 1880 to 1885, the
fought in the Chaco
vars and lost, it is estimated, 100,-
100 men, or one out Of every 5
males.
Under such circumstances Meth
.r church nor state could hope to
maintain monogamy," the Pass
more report reads. Family life |
completely broke down. Time has
lone much to reduce this dispro-
portion of men and women, but
amily life has never recovered /
rom these disasters. This break
lown of family life is perhaps the
biggest problem in child-welfare
n the Republic today"
A consequence of this breakdown
S high rate of illegitimacy. In
Ascunsion, the capital, in 1910, 81
'ercent of the births were illegiti-
nate, and ''in the country districts
he proportion would be much
igher." A stable home life, under
uch circumstances, is lacking for
arge numbers of children.
4 i 4
Consequences of the wars are
cit in other ways. The country
acks people to build it up. Guesses
re that it has only between one
nd one-and-a-half million inhabit-
nts. The land is there, with it's
otential wealth, but a very small
ercent is under cultivation. Other
ources of wealth that could lead
D richer life for the people like
Use are undeveloped.
With so few people the country
annot afford the "paraphanelia 5
lstomary in a modern state" Peo-
lie are lacking for ordinary admin
trative services, as for instance,
ealth supervision. The Depart
ent of Health, which has large 7
ANS, has neither the men to fill I
le posts nor the money to pay
hat men there are.
DR.. Passmore makes a strong I
ca for UNICEF help for the $
lildren of Paraguay. "a small II
children's program, a
,erated by United Nations or q
he states, "would have o
psychological benefit far exceed II
