Government Role
Makes Political
Action Necessary

Chicago (LPA) - Touring the
country at the invitation of the
Sidney Hillman Foundation and
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers of America, Professor Harold
Laski told a Roosevelt College
audience last week that the role of
government in our modern econ
omy makes increased trade union
political activity a necessity.
The British Labor party leader
added: "The entrance of the trade
unions into politics clarifies so
much that was previously confused.
1t makes the choice of the voter
real one. 1t does more for the
political education of the ordinary
trade union member than even
Franklin Roosevelt was able to do
While Laski was speaking in
Chicago, the Cambridge, Mass,
School Board denied public school
facilities to him for a public lee
ture when he visits Cambridge to
speak at Harvard University. To
Mayor Michael Neville's charge
that Laski is pro-Communist, a
British Labor party spokesman in
London answered nothing could
be more fantastic or untrue" He
pointed out that Laski< had written
the British Labor party's anti-Com-
munist pamphlet "The Secret Bat
TALON"
Speaking in the same Roosevelt
College lecture series, Professor
Lewis Corey of Antioch College
said that American trade unionists
have decisively rejected Commun-
ism. They understand, Corey de-
clared, that Communism destroys
free trade unions, subjecting work
ers' organizations to 'the one
party state, forcing them to carry
out the states orders and to keep
the workers in subjection.
Regardless of the kind of econ
omic system that exists, the work
ers can possess neither freedom or
equal rights nor promote their
economic interests without free
unions in a free society,"" Corey
said.

trouble raising funds because of
its past tactics. These have incIud-
ed not only the use of racial pre-
judice, but also an attempt last
year to bribe newspaper cartoon
ists,, which was widely denounced
in newspapers and the trade paper,
Editor & Publisher.
It's editorial last week praised
the work of the NPC, asserting
that "for more than ten years the
National Physicians Committee
has been a leader in the defense of
the freedom of American medi-
cine" The editorial pointed out
that the NPC's board Of directors
included former presidents of the
ANA, presidents of state medical
societies, and other ANA leaders.
1t almost openly appealed to doc
tors to contribute to the NPC,
which gets its biggest contribu-
tions from drug manufacturers, by
saying:
"No doubt the agencies that have
supported its work in the past will
decide to continue if not increase
their support to this cause under
the stress of the intensified threat.
The National Physicians Commit
tee has rendered an important SER
vice and has had the approval of
the House of Delegates of the Am
erican Medical Association"
Meanwhile, the ANA has also
come out into the open about the
purposes Of its $3,500,000 slush
fund. II had tried to quiet opposi-
tion among doctors by denying the
fund was for lobbying, and assert
ing it was only for Education.
But finally, the leaders of the
ANA campaign-Clem Whitaker
and Leone Baxter Whitaker, of the
public relations firm of Whitaker
and Baxter-have registered under
the lobbying law as lobbyists.
They reported they were getting
$S333 a month from the ANA,
which adds up to 100000 a year
for conducting the lobby-propa-
ganda campaign.

Labor Success
Varies In
Spring Elections

Wa sh in gton (LPA)-Labor
made gains in Missouri and Wis
consin and received a setback in
Michigan in the spring elections.
In Michigan, Republicans won
all state posts for which there was
a contest. Labor spokesmen there
said they did not consider the de-
feat serious one and predicted
they would win heavily in the fall
elections where there is always a
larger turnout. In industrial
Wayne County, which includes the
city of Detroit, Democrats receiv-
ed only $4,000 majority instead of
the 100000 they usually get. Mich
igan is traditionally Republican
and while a Democratic governor
was elected there last November,
Dewey won the presidential con-
test in the state.
In st. Louis, the Republicans
strongest spot in Missouri, Demo-
Gratis captured the mayrality for
the first time in eight years and
won control of the Board of Alder
men. Unionists there expressed
hope that the turn of the tide fore
cast defeat for Republican Senator
Forrest C. Donnell when he comes
up for reelection.
Wisconsin elected three Demo-
cratic state senator's, one from a
district which had always gone Re-
publican in the past.

Lubor's Role In
MurShuII PIun
Acknowledged

Washington (LPA) - No men
have done more for the success of
the Marshall plan than Clinton
Golden and Bert Jewell, Economic
Cooperation Administrator Paul
Hoffman declared last week.
This praise for labor's contribu
tion to the European recovery pro-
gram came at a dinner in honor of
the ECA-encouraged Anglo-Amer-
ican Productivity Council. British
trade union and employer members
of the council joined Vice President
Alben Barkley, and the American
labor and management council
members in applauding Hoffman's
reference to the work of the CIO
and AFL representatives who are
serving as co-heads of the ECA
labor division.
In their first annual report to
Hoffman, submitted last week,
Golden and Jewell said that labor
participation in ECA activities is
increasing. And, they pointed out,
the ERP is helping to speed the
achievement of international labor
solidarity.
American labor's spokesman at
the Anglo-American Productivity
Council dinner was Int'l Associa-
tion of Machinists President Har
vey Brown. Industrial democracy
is the irresistible force of the 10th
century. Wise men who know the
lessons of history will not seek to
stand in its path," he declared.
Lincoln Evans, who addressed
the dinner on behalf of the British
trade union movement emphasized
that labor "is a full partner, not
a junior partner in the work of the
Anglo-American Council" He ex-
planned that the Trades Union Con-
gress itself has taken the lead in
the campaign to interest British
workers in increasing productivity.
The old fear "of the workers that
the harder they work today the
less work there'll be tomorrow"
must be dispelled, Evans remarked.
Recent production figures, he de-
clared, demonstrate that the Bri-
tish worker "has seized the idea
that he has a contribution to make
to the recovery of Britain, and of
western Europe, and he is resolved
to make it."

Dixiecrats Speak
At Opening OF
New Textron Plant

Hartwell, Ga. OPA)-Gov. J.
Strom Thurmond of South Caro-
lima, former Dixiecrat candidate
for President, was one of the fea-
tured speakers at the opening of
the new Textron rayon plant here.
The other speaker was Gov. Her
man Talmadge of Georgia, famous
for his tie-up with the Ku Klux
Klan.
Textron, and its president Royal
Little, made the news last year
when Textile Workers Union of
America called attention to the
fact that Little was moving his
plants out Of New England in order
to get cheaper labor, thereby
throwing thousands of New Eng
land workers out of their jobs.
TWUA complaints led to a con-
gressional investigation of Textron
by Sen. Charles w. Tobey Or, N.
H.. Tobey found that Little was
gyping the government out of
large amounts in taxes by man
ipulating a so-called Charitable"
trust fund for his own purposes.
Using the fund as a dodge, the
textile manufacturer had amassed
a huge fortune which he increased
even more by buying and selling
plants. AS a result of the investi
cation, changes have been made in
the tax laws for charity trusts.
Speaking at the opening of the
new plant last week, Little said
that he had picked Hartwell as a
location because of the large labor
supply. 1t is his tenth and largest
plant in the south.
Governors Talmadge and Thur
mond welcomed the plant and pre-
dicted that the Savannah River
valley will become a vast indus
trial region.

NAM Startled By
Advice TO Lay Off
Labor Leaders

BelIeair, Fla. (LPA)-A manu-
facturer sort Of bearded the lion
in its den at the annual industrial
relations institute conducted here
by the Natl Association of Manu-
facturerS.
Most of the speakers gave the
type of talk that was sweet music
to the ears Of the several hundred
industrial executives who attended
the institute, but a jangling note
was injected by Thomas G. Spates,
vice president of the General Foods
Corporation.
He took whacks at the kind of
propaganda the NAM has been
conducting and then declared:
"Stop telling others how to run
their business. Lay off Congress.
Quit shouting Taft-Hartley and
stop yelling at Green and Murray"
Spates also derided the advertis-
ing campaign the NAM has been
running to sell workers on "free
enterprise" 1t should start educat-
ing employers instead, he said. He
proposed that the NAM "call a
special meeting of it's board of dir
ectors and get campaign direct
eel to the employers"
"The rest of the year." he urged,
"should be spent telling NAM
members to start treating sheir
workers like human beings. The
majority of workers don't have to
be sold on free enterprise. They
like it,"

Hearings Worm Up On Insurance
Proposals By President Truman

Washington (LPA)-With labor
and violently anti-labor organiza-
tions both scheduled to testify this
week, the lengthy social security
hearings before the House Ways
G. Means Committee are expected
to break up the boredom with
which Congressman have listened
to witness after witness for the
past few weeks.
The committee, which is not at
all eager to approve the Presidents
,propos for increasing the
amounts of social security pay
ments, and extending coverage
will get the two extremes: on one
day, it will hear from a group of
labor witnesses; on another, it will
hear the views of the viciously re-
dictionary Committee for Constitu-
tional Government, and Merwin X.
Hart of the Natl Economic Coun-
! Gil.
During the past week, the COM
mittee received further informa-
tion on the report of the Advisory
Council on Social Security which
presented book-length report to
the Senate last year. Sumner
Slichter of Harvard University,
speaking for the Council, support
ed in general the Presidents pro-
posals, though he took exception to
the idea that part of the costs of
social security benefits should be
paid out of the general treasury
funds.
Labor Secretary Maurice Tobin
told the Congressman that it is
high time the social security laws,
which have been in effect for nearly
u Ia years, We're revised. He put
special stress on extension of COW
erage under the old age and sur
vivors' insurance program to some
20,000,000 additional workers, in
cluding agricultural workers, do
mestic workers, the self-employed,
certain federal government en-
ployes not covered by the existing
federal retirement system, en-
ployes Of nonprofit institutions,
and service within the armed forces
of the US.
81 believe" Tobin asserted, "that
a true social security program
must make provision for workers
who are forced by illness and dis
ability to be away from gainful
work. The present social security
law should be extended to include
such provision and | endorse the
provisions Of HR 1898 which would
establish such benefits.
Tobin pointed out that about
one-third of the nations public
assistance cases in which aid was
required for dependent children re-
suited from the disability of one or
both parents. AS his authority, he
cited figures collected last fall by
the Social Security Administration.
The Labor Secretary urged that
"the insurance benefits must be ad-
justed to levels more consistent
with current wage levels and the
cost Of living" The present min
imum benefit of SO a month under
the old age and survivors insur-
ance program has not been increas-
ed since the bill was passed, Tobin
said, and "cannot cover the barest
of living essentials"

LATIN LABOR HEAD
STILL A PRISONER

Bogota, Colombia LPA) - The

have decided to submit the case of
Victor KAUAI Haya de la Tore to
the World Court at the Hague.
Haya de la Tore, leader of the
Democratic labor movement in
Peru and vice-president of the
CIT (Inter- American Confedera-

prisoner in the Colombia embassy
because the Peruvian government
will not grant him a safe-conduct

the embassy he cannot write or
take part in the labor movement.
He took refuge there early this
year when he was unjustly accused
of starting a military revolution in

Miss Bentley Failure to Appear Had No Effect
In CLEARING Remington, Richardson Says

On the regional board panel
were Robert A. Maurer, chairman,
professor of constitutional law at
Georgetown University and former
vice president of the District
Board of Education; Mrs. Henry
Grattan Doyle. president Of the
Board of Education; Henry w.
Blair, prominent Washington at
torney and former Assistant At
torney General; r. E. Booker,
Richmond attorney and treasurer
of the Virginia Bar Association,
and Fred e. Martin, Norfolk at
torney and past State commander
of the American Legion.
On the review board were Mr..
Richardson, Harry Colmary, past
National American Legion COM
mander, and George w. Alger,
New York attorney.
Courts Explain Reasoning.
In the courts, when q decision
is reversed, the higher court usu-
ally explains its reasoning. 10y
atty board members, however, do
not make their decisions public
leaving such announcements to the
agency or individual involved.
Although members Of neither
the regional nor review board
would comment. this appeared to
be the picture in the Remington
case:
The regional group went to
work early in July. 1948. One OF
its first cases was that Of Mr..
Remington, who had been sus-
pended from his key job as chair
man of the Commerce Depart
ment's expert licenses committee.
Evidence before the regional
group consisted Of Government
reports on Mr.. Remington, in
cluding one or more FBI reports.
The group also questioned Mr..
Remington and his counsel was
invited to call witnesses in his
behalf.
Miss Bentley Told Story.
Meanwhile, Miss Bentley told
her story to a Senate War 1nvesti-
eating subcommittee. It presum-
ably was similar to an earlier
story she had given the FB1-.-
that Mr.. Remington was one
source of information she collect
ed for a Soviet spy ring.

Education Called Weaker
Separated From RELIGION
By the Associofsd Press

COLUMBUS. Ohio, Feb. H.
Education is weakened when sepa-
rated from religion, the Interna-
tional Council of Religious Edu-
cation said today in a policy state
ment.
The statement was adopted fol-
lowing a report Of the Committee
of Religion and Public Education
at the closing session Of the 9th
annual conference. The commit
tee has been studying the rela-
ton Of public education and re-
ligion for nearly two years.
The statement, however, af-
firmed belief in q free American
public school system. It recon-
mended that Protestant parochial
schools be rejected. The state
ment said they would be a seri-
Gus threat to public education and
democracy.

very gullible." The review board
undoubtedly took his age into
consideration.
Officials Spoke Favorably.
Further. the review board
studied Mr.. Remington's record
.ovver the last six years. The
board presumably found nothing
out Of line about the numerous
memorandums and statements Of
Government policy he wrote dur
ing those years. Statements from
officials with whom he worked
spoke favorably about him.
The regional board may have
considered that six years ago was
not the remote past. The review
board seems to have taken the
view that a man can grow up and
change in six years.
The principal clue to the review
boards attitude Is to be found In
a message from MIR. Richardson
to the Secretary Of Commerce de.
claring that the evidence does not
establish reasonable grounds for
belief that Mr.. Remington is dis

that while the 24-year-old MIR. ::
Remington may have been very

the 3l-year-old Mr.. Remington
from Government employment.
