'No-Negroes' Rule
In Tax-Free Homes
Backed By Court

New York (LPA)-The blame is
on the GOP-dominated state legis-
lature for the fact that Metropol-
itan Life Insurance Company can
bar Negroes from its giant Stuy-
vesant Village housing project in
New York City.
The court of Appeals, in a four
to three decision, ruled that Metro
politan can bar Negroes from the
project if it wishes, even though
the Stuyvesant Town properly is
tax-exempt.
Judge Bruce Bromley in the
majority decision said that the
Legislature deliberately and in
tentionally refrained from impos-
ing any restriction upon a redevel-
opment company in it's choice of
tenants. Attempts repeatedly made
in the Legislature since the law
was enacted to alter the policy of
the statute in this respect have
failed"
Several Negro war veterans had
brought the unsuccessful suit, in
an attempt to get consideration for
their applications for Stuyvesant
Town apartments.

FEPc Bill Up In
House Labor Group

Washington (LPA)-The fate OF
the Fair Employment Practice bill
in this session Of Congress may be
decided July 29, when the House
Labor Committee has scheduled a
vote on the measure.
Supporters of the bill expect it
will be approved in committee by
a reverse of the "Dixiegop" coali-
tion - with northern Democrats
and anti-race hate Republicans
combining forces to squeeze the
bill thru.
If approved, the measure still
faces a hostile Rules Committee,
and even under the procedure by
passing the Rules group could not
reach the House floor until Aug
ust 29-tentatiyely scheduled as
the date of Congress adjournment.
Supporters of the bill, including
Rep. Adam Clayton Powell I'd,
N.Y., express confidence that, de-
spite these odds, they'll clear the
measure thru the House and send
it to a Senate filibuster before the
Session ends.

The LLPE director announced
that the AFL and the CIO were
already cooperating informally at
all levels from the national level
down. He said that there was gen.
eral agreement on all points, espec-
tally on the necessity of defeating
Senators Taft and Donnell. How
ever, he said that the CIO and the
AFL would not pool their re-
sources at the national level but
make sure that no strength was
wasted. In state and municipal
elections he said that he expected
that there would be joint AFL-CIO
operations in many localities just
as there was in 1948. There has
also been informal cooperation
with representatives of the Mac
hinists, the United Mine Workers
and the Railroad Brotherhoods, he
said. .LuLL

Glassware Wage
Nearly Dubbed

:, Washington.-The wage for en-
ployes engaged in the manufacture
or supply of products of the
"pressed and blown glass and
glassware industry" in amounts of
more than $4,000 in value pur.
chased by the government under
the Walsh -Healey Public Contracts
Act must be no less than 831a cents
an hour.
This was announced by Secre-
tary of Labor Maurice j. Tobin in
adoption of an amendment to the
U. s. Department of Labor's 1888
prevailing minimum wage deter
mination for the "flint glass indus
try" In addition to increasing the
new minimum wage finding over
the 1888 level of 421z cents an
hour, the amendment also estab-
fishes a subminimum rate of 1914
cents an hour for beginners under
prescribed conditions. Its provis-
ions take effect August l6.
The revised determination also
changes the industry designation
from "flint glass industry" to
pressed and blown glass and
glassware industry"
Secretary Tobin' action is based
On the record of public hearing
held last February 9 to consider
a petition of the AFL's American
Flint Glass Workers Union of
North America, which had request
ed that the Secretary establish
new rate of at least 80 cents an
hour.
1t is estimated that some 36,7O0
employees are engaged in the
pressed and blown glass and
glassware industry" as defined in
the prevailing minimum wage de-

Meany, Carey Tells
Of New Labor Int'l
In Radio Broadcast

Washington (LPA) - Labor
new international, launched las
month in Geneva, was the subjec
the other day when George Meany
secretary-treasurer of the AFL
and James Carey, secretary-treas'
urer of the CIO, were interviewed
for a Voice of America broadcast
by Liston Oak, veteran liberia
editor. Both Carey and Meany
were delegates to the Geneva
meeting at which the first steps
toward organizing the new anti
Communist body were taken.
The interview for the State De-
partment broadcast brought out
clearly that whatever differences
might exist between the AFL and
the CIO on some matters, both or
CARNATIONS were solidly united on
international affairs. Meany and
Carey repeatedly stated that trade
union freedom must be a basic aim
of the worlds organized workers,
and asserted that the new world
organization would have a positive
policy aimed at achieving that free-
dom.
In the course of the interview,
Meany made no bones about saying
that the new labor international
was needed "to meet the challenge
of the totalitarian state" which
enslaved trade unionists along
with everyone else. Carey added
that the illfated World Federation
of Trade Unionists had been or
ganized with a high purpose in
mind but that it had been doomed
as soon as the Communists had set
out to control it for their own de-
structive ends. Carey also prophes-.
led that workers believe the Iron
Curtain might some day seek free
dom for themselves.
1t was made clear that existing
i-Communist organizations like
the Int'l Transportworkers FEEDER
alton would be integrated into the
new body without difficulty. And
since there were no serious areas
of disagreement on international
matters between socialist and
Catholic trade unions any more
than there were between the CIO
and the AFL, these bodies would
join together freely in a progress
sive, large-scale program for hu-
man betterment.
The Geneva conference at the
end of June was attended by dele
gates of 38 national trade union
organizations representing 43,000,.
000 members. At present, a spec
ial committee is at work in London
furthering the technical organiza-
tion of the new international body
and preparing for a world congress
to be held in November.

A. F. Whitney, Of
Rail Trainmen
Called By Death

Cleveland, o. QLNS). - Alex
ander Fell Whitney, militant pres
ident of the Brotherhood of Rail
road Trainmen since 1928, died at
his home early July Is Of heart
attack. He was 76.
Whitney was stricken after
spending a full day at his office
and an evening with friends at his
home. His wife, Dorothy Mae
Whitney, heard him call out that
he was not feeling well. She tele-
phoned for help, returned to his
side and found him dead. In addi-
tion to his widow, he is survived by
two sons and a daughter.
Funeral services at Lakewood
Methodist Church were attended
by 500 persons from all walks of
life. Public officials present in
cluded Secretary of Defense Louis
johnson. Undersecretary of Labor
Michael j. Calvin and Capt. H. D.
Riley, navy aide to Secretary
Johnson. Burial was in Lakewood
Cemetery.
A. F. Whitney, as he was usual
ly called, was born at Cedar Falls,
Iowa, April IL, 1873, son of a
Canadian-born circuit-riding min
lister. At the age of Is he invested
his entire capital of 81 in a basket
of fruit and candy and boarded a
train at Cherokee, Iowa. When the
conductor demanded his ticket, he
said: "What ticket? Pm the candy
butcher"
Jumped From Party to Party
He held down this job for 2
years and then became a railroad
brakeman. His earlier recollections
of the railroad labor policies in
cluded several occasions when he
was fired so he could be rehired
without the raise that had accrued
to him by reason of his length of
service. In 1896 at Eagle Grove,
Iowa, he became a member of the
G. E. Boynton Lodge 1873 of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Train
men.
Peppery of temper and acid of
tongue in lashing opponents, Whit
ney was a political liberal who
jumped from party to party to side
with men with his ideals. From
1906 to 1882, he sided with Theo-
dore Roosevelt, Republican, with

--oOo-
In one of his recent columns,
Walter Lippmann, who Is perhaps
the best Of the publicists, asked
why all our ambitious and costly
plans for world rehabilitation have
fallen so short Of expectations. He
put it this way: Beginning with
the world bank and the monetary
fund, which were followed by the
British and the French loans, which
were followed by the Marshall
plan, we have tried to reconstruct
a world economy in which our
partners and friends could earn
their way toward a rising stand
ard of life. But we have not
succeeded, and once again the econ
omic relations of Europe and North
America are at a crisis"
Mr.. Lippmann's explanation for
this tragic failure is an interest
ing one. He said, "The crux of the
problem and the heart Of the crisis
is that Europe must buy absolute
necessities from US whereas there
is almost nothing that we have to
buy from Europe"
In other words, the United
States, even as it has become the
dominant Western power, has at
tanned an unprecedented degree of
self-sufficiency. With few excep-
tions, we can produce and manu-
facture within our own borders
everything that we need to main
tain and to improve our standard
of living, and we are capable of
doing this for a far larger popu-
lation than we have now. In Mr..
Lippmann's view, this situation is
in itself result of war. He OBJ
serves that the story is told again
and again of how war has exhaust
ed the wealth and the energy of
Europe. But the other side Of the
story is far less we'll known. To
quote him again, "It is how the
wars have affected the United
States, causing by forced draught
an increase not only in American
productivity bat also in American
self sufficiency. Wars in Eu-
rope have compelled this. country
to save itself and to save Europe,
including Russia, by developing its
own industrial and agricultural
production to point where it is
largely self-suffcient with great
surpluses in addition"
The present British dollar crisis,
which has led the government to
drastically curtail buying from
this country, is in point. 1t GER
tainly seems true that some of the
policies and practices Of the social
lists now at the helm in England
have speeded up the trouble, and
have brought matters to a head a
year or two earlier than might
have been the ease otherwise. How
ever, the fact that we no longer
need to buy British goods in any
great quantity dominates the whole
picture. She had hoped for great
export trade with US which has not
