"We wouldn't believe there was
peace until we read it in Stars and
Stripes, says Paul Pasderak, OF
Port Clinton, who was with an
Ordnance Company in Germany
at the time peace was declared.
"We drank beer, but / wanted

Harold Connor was with the
597th Field Artillery of the 92nd
Division, near Monte Lungo,
Italy, when the war was over in
Europe. He was glad there was
no more fighting, but he liked
Italy, remained there a year, and
married an Italian girl, who re-
turned with him, and who likes
America.
Memories of Georgia in the
sprinIgtime came to me when |
learned the war was over and
probably could go home", recalls
Charlie Duncan, Port Clinton,
who was with the 659th Ordnance
Company in France on VE-Day.
There was no celebrating until
later for Elmer Pigney, Port Clin-

Italy, and was in Italy on both
We and VJ-Days. His thoughts
were all Of getting home after
three and a half years of service.
Arthur Cupp, Port Clinton, was
in a hospital in Tours, France,

building materials, and other fac
tors leading to the development of
lower building costs.
Action by the Senate represented
a defeat for the real estate lobby
which has fought public housing
for years. It tried again in the
Senate while the bill was debated,
but when the vote was taken it
showed that they were hopelessly
outnumbered by public-spirited
Senators who are anxious to do
something about slums which are
a blot on our record.
Typical of the reaction to the
conditions found in Washington
were the remarks of Senator Ralph
Flanders of Vermont. He said his
visit to the slum areas caused him
great distress" In one shack, he
said, 13 people were living in one
room.
The area is so overcrOwded,
the Senator declared, that some
families are forced to cook in
the alleys outside their tumble
down, dilapidated dwellings.
ExiStance of conditions such as
those provide ammunition for the
Communists who seek to show the
world that our economic system
fails to take care of the peoples
needs. Revelation of the pitiful way
in which many Washington resi-
dents live was credited in part to
lady from India who was escorted
through the rundown areas by
representative from the Czechoslo-
vakin Embassy. The trip was staged

miserable Slum clearance within
q few blocks Of the Senate cham
ber, members Of that body voted
57-13 i'm favor of the AdminiStra-
TONS national slum clearance
and lOw-rent public housing bill.
The bill, which had the backing
of the American Federation of La
Dor, calls for the construction of
$4,000 public housing units during
the next 6 years, and provides ST.
5OOOOO,OOO in federal loans and
grants for slum clearance over
5-year period.
Final action by the Senate came
after disclosure here of the miser-
able slum conditions found almost
within the shadow of the nations
Capitol. Several Senators who in
Spected the Slum areas, which are
duplicated in almost every large
city in America, used the expert
ence gained in personal observation
in effective pleas for swift and sure
action to combat this national dis
grace.
The bill permits the President
to authorize construction of 200,
600 public housing units a year,
but it is expected that the aver
age annual rate will be in the
neighborhoOd of $4,000 units.
In addition, the measure provides
a rural housing program of grants
and loans to farmers to build new
farm homes and to repair existing
dwellings. It also provides for
program of housing research into
building codes, use of new ma

Soil pipes a upset plans. These
8 or 4-inch pipes cannot be housed
in a 4-inch stud partition. Carpenters
usually enlarge n partition to six
inches. The toilet is placed near the
soil pipe, SO early in the planning
stage, you should decide which wall
is to be enlarged.
A saving can be made by arrang-
ing the fixtures so all the piping
is on one wall. Again, convenience
is sacrificed, for the tub is under the
window in all bathrooms except
those that are long and narrow.

Homemakers who have had this to
contend with, agree that the small
saving isn't worth the inconvenience.
Storage Space
The trend of building houses
smaller and more compact has
squeezed the bathroom. Storage
space has been relegated to other
rooms. Travelling to other closets
for articles that are needed in the
bathroom is irritating. Let's bring
the storage space back.
Plan space for the towels, soap,
cosmetics, medicines and shaving
equipment, disposal of soiled cloth
ing and razor blades. IL there is a
baby in the home, his diapers, shirts
and bath articles should be in the
bathroom. Don't forget about the
cleaning equipment.
Shelves, cupboards, drawers, towel
racks, a medicine cabinet and a
hamper or chute can be planned for
all these articles. Respect for per-
sonal belongings can be developed
if each member of the family has
sufficient storage space.
If the tub is recessed, the extra
space between the tub and the wall
can be used for storage. A built-in
dressing table, backed by a mirror,
would delight any teen-age daugh-
ter.
The medicine chest is more disable
il it is placed to the left of the lava
tory with a large mirror directly
over the lavatory.
Tub or Shower?
This choice is one for the family
to make. If you can afford it, a
separate shower stall is better than
a shower-tub combination. The lat
ter is hazardous because of the
danger of slipping in the tub while
showering. The towels get wet il
they aren't moved and the shower
curtains are a nuisance and unattrac-
tive at best.

LABOR'S SPLENDID RECORD

You have a right to be proud of the record of your AL.
Union in the long struggle for a finer standard of living in
this country and for social legislation which has helped to
dispel fear from the hearts of workins people.
The great forward strides taken by the American people
have been largely brought about because AL Union lead
es, meeting with intelligent and sincere employers, agreed
upon them and co-operated in having necessary laws passed
by Congress and the State Legslau. es. through collective
bargaining the AL. has scored many gains that would
have appeared U,opian back in the cat,less sos.
1t was Samuel Gompers, president oil the AL. who first
espoused legislation against child labor in industry. The
ALL. pioneered legislation 20 establish free, compulsory
education for children. Workmen's Compensation for in
dustrial injuries was first proposed by William Green, now
AL president, when he was a state senator in Ohio. Now
it is universal throughout the land, Mississippi being the last
state to enact such a law.
The A. F. L. was in the very forefront of the fight for
Social Security, for the 40-hour week, for old-age pensions
and retirements, and for honest minimum wages.
In the fight for a square deal. for the school teachers, a fight
never ceased fighting for better educational advantages,
better school buildings. better parks and recreation centers.
Where has the National Association Of Manufacturers
been all this time? The record has been kept carefully. 1t
shows that the MAN,. has opposed bitterly every one Of
these advances; it has fought every single piece of social
legislation. 1t s still fighting Labor.
Union Transfers have a special right to be proud Of the
record of their great International Brotherhood. 1t has al
ways been one of the steadfast AF.L. afhliates; it has al
ways given Of its resources to help in every fight Of the Fed
Grafton. Furthermore, it has submitted to every rule and
regulation adopted by the ALL. The Transfers have
never played the part OF outlaws, they have lived strictly
within the laws of Labor's congress--the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
Today we have the largest Labor Union in the world
and it is still growing. Many thousands of working people,
who are employed in our various crafts, are waiting anx-
iously for organization-and they will be organized. We
have it within our power to make the future far brighter
than those who led us through the rugged days of our ex-
istence as a Union have made the record Of the past.

WE'LL KNOW HOW TO TELL A FRIEND
FROM AN ENEMY

A good many voters in both the Republican and Demo
cratic parties are waking up to the fact that they are being
swindled. They are sending supposed liberals to Congress
only to see them taken in by business lobbyists once they
get to Washington.
We think that any Senator or Congressman who repeat
eddy votes against labor, who supports those causes which
will swell the profits Of the few at the expense OF the plain
people is earning for himself the label Of reactionary.
Some honest men in the Republican party are beginning
to face up 10 the fact that they no longer can follow blindly
the reactionary policies of the Republican leaders in this
Congress. the same leaders who led their party to such dis
astrous defeat last year.
Many honest Southerners in the Democratic party have
already seen through the short sighted leadership Of Sena-
tor Byrd of Virginia who would lead them all into camp
with the Northern reactionaries.
This struggle between the desire to be liberal and the temp
tation to travel The smoothly paved path of reaction IS still
going on in the souls OF a number of Congressman and
Senators.
AS each succeeding roll call is taken, every Congressman
and every Senator is making a record on which he alone will
have to face the people when, and if. he stands for reeec-
ton.
Take a Democrat like Senator Holland Of Florida, for
example. Senator Holland calls himself a liberal. but he
sides with the reactionaries on many issues-most recently in
the attempt to weaken the rent control law.
Down in Florida there was some doubt that reports that
Holland was joining up with The Northern reactionaries. The
Florida State Council of Machinists telegraphed Holland
urging that he vote for repeal of the Taft-Hartley Act. The
Florida Senator replied by stating: l expect to support
several amendments of the Taft-Hartley Act retaining,
however. its major detectives.
That is just what Senator Taft and the other reactionaries
in Congress are saying-in the same words.
The vote on aft Hartley repeal, more than any other,
is going to show he true quality OF the Senators and Con-
gressmen whom the people have elected. ii is going to help
us distinguish our enemies from our friends.
