learn that more than Al 900 en-
ployers file quarterly reports GOV
ering close TO 100000 employees
in Florida alone" Weaver said.
"One very significant and inter
esting fact is that almost exactly
80 percent Of these employers
had not more than 20 employees.
And what is more interesting
is that nearly onc-third of them
are in Broward. Dade and Mon
roe counties, which the Miami of
flee covers. That's why the Nj
ami office is the largest in the
state and the third ranking office
in the six southeastern states.
Every one Of you who have
given any consideration to old-age
and survivors insurance will agree
that the benefits We now paw are
unreasonably low. They don't
begin to meet even the minimum
needs of the beneficiaries.

Labor Measure
tRy The Associated Press,

WASHINGTON, Feb. 10. =
John L. Lewis, president of the
United Coal Miners of America,
testified today before the con-
gressional committee that is con-
sidering the bill to replace the
Taft-Hartley labor law.
Lewis spoke of the law as the
first ugly, savage thrust of Fas-
ciSm in America" He also hit
Taft several times as being an
enemy of labor.
Lewis advocated the immedi-
ate repeal of the Hartley
act he said there was no good
reason whatever of letting the
law continue in effect any long
er. He added that the present
bill probably will become a law
within a month, and explained
he thought that the country
could operate without any dan
ger to its economy for that length
of time without any labor law.

Early Lists Several Causes
For SHORTAGE Of Teachers

The teacher shortage is not only
due to the greatly increased number
Of pupils dating from the high
birth rates of the war, w. A. Early
of Norfolk, Va, president of the
Virginia Education Association,
pointed out to the National Educa-
ton Association yesterday at q
luncheon in the Sheraton Hotel
He listed several conditions that
are keeping the number Of element
ary school teachers down. One was
that there is no relief from the
pupils during the day. Another is
the heavy pupil load A third is
too much routine work.
Recruitment is hurt, he said, by
the college students idea that
teachers have a narrow social life
That might have been 50 in the
past" he said, but teachers lead
pretty normal lives now and have
as many vices as any one else
The problem Of getting teachers
is especially difficult for rural areas,
he said, because Of the combined
grades-Sometimes first to fourth
grade in the same room-and be-
cause Of the isolation and commun-
ity attitudes toward the teacher.

AGAINST Reds in Far East

Korea will be a main bulwark
against communism in the Far East
and should have, along with China
more positive" help from the

that government:
Economic aid, cultural and tech
nical cooperation, "objectivity" In
reporting news and views of Korea
to the rest Of the world, agreements
or treaties with America for ZAP
Ipropriate military alliance and as
sistance under certain circum-
stances."
