Reuther Takes
; Weeks Rest
On Advice Of
His Physieian

The UAW -CIO International
Office announced today that
Walter P. Reuther, UAW-CIO
president, is taking a three-week
rest at the insistence of physi-
clans who are treating his arm.
Reuther will be back on the
job March IA when the UAW-
CIO international Executive
Board will hold its regular quar-
terly meeting in Detroit. During
this period of rest he will handle
only a minimum of routine un-
ion business which requires his
personal attention.
Doctors attending Reuther said
that his arms recovery is pro
ceeding satisfactorily but that
the UAW-CIO president had
been working too hard during
the last several months. A con-
tinuation of the schedule he has
been following might possibly
impede recovery, they said.

nounced by Cyrus "Toots" Mar
tin, international representative
from the staff of Regional Dia
rector Charles Ballard, director

Community Services Com
mitee, according to Leo Per-
lis, national director.
Nationwide Campaign
Since the Committees Over
seas Food Fund began its nation
wide campaign, a steady stream
of the Packages has been going
to trade unionists in the coun-
tries served by CARE. But the
need remains great and the
drive must go on, Perlis said
Latest word of the value of
CLOS program through CARE
comes from Vincent TewSon,
general secretary of the Trade
Union Congress of Great Brit
ain. His letter to Perlis trans
mitted the thanks of "organiza-
tions and individuals who have
received your gifts"
Thanks Donors
Il feel sure that the individual
recipients will write to the
donors to thank them for their
kindness and generosity in send
ing the parcels" Tewson wrote,
but ! did want you to know
that the packages have been
great pleasure to all who have
received them and proved of
great help. They were excellent
ly packed and the contents very
we'll chosen"
Similar appreciation is ex-
pressed in hundreds of other let
terS from workers and unions in
France, Htaly, Greece, Austria,
Germany, the Netherlands, Bel
gium and other countries where
CIO-CARE packages have helped
to enrich the drab diets.
Designate Recipient
The continuing Overseas Food
Fund campaign has been plan
ned to permit unions making
contributions to designate a
parallel union in any of the
countries served by CARE as
beneficiary. Or it may specify
the country to which the pack
ages shall be sent.
Individual contributors are
permitted to designate a friend
or relative abroad as the re-
cipient provided the designa-
tion is accompanied by mini
mum donation of $40. All col
lections should be sent to the
Overseas Food Fund of the Ma
tional CIO Community Services
Committee, 1776 Broadway, New
York 10, New York.

create a system of classes and
other services for unions and

and the small business man are
all the same. They are in the
same boat headed for the same
destination.
Locally we have a good start
in The United Labor Committee.
We have this organization en-
bracing all of labor, which can
bring unity and understanding
with the farmer and the man in
small business along with white
collar workers. The United
Labor Committee must be a
grass roots organization. 1t must
work in the wards and precincts
and in the sitting rooms %
workers carrying the message
to whole families. And if /
know anything about it this is
exactly what will be done.
Our first task in Ohio is to
defeat Senator Taft. This is go
ing to be a difficult task. 1t
will be hard for labor alone to
defeat Taft. We must have the
help of the farmer on this along
with other liberal groups. Taft
barely squeezed thru last Mo-
vember. He can be defeated.
From time to time you will
hear much of the United Labor
Committee, Take an interest in
it. Attend their meetings. This is
your organization. If you have
any criticism about what the
special interests are doing to
liberal legislation in Congress
write Representative Tom Burke
in Washington, D. c., Room -
House Office Building. He wi
be glad to hear from you
whether he knows you person"
ally or not.

fortnight and heartwarming
reaffirmation of the splendid
platform which carried you

victory last fall.
| am particularly gratified
by the timely and unequivocal
words you devoted to the fight
for repeal of the Taft Hartley

feelings of the American peo-
pie when you state that spe-
cial interests are plotting to
deprive the people of what
they voted for on November 2.

you before: The millions OF
members of the Congress of
Industrial Organizations stand
solidly behind you in your
crusade for "the welfare and
the advancement of the peo-
pie of this nation" With de-
termination such as you ex-
pressed in your address and
the loyal cooperation of the

One of the discouraging
things to see is lot of small
business going along with
anti-liberal forces to defeat
good legislation. If l had
a small business l believe !
would be in the working
mans corner. 1t is plain to
see that the more the worker
makes the more he will spend
in my store. Of course this is
true of any business but
nevertheless when unemploy-
ment comes on the scene it's
first victim is the small busi-
ness man. He is one of the
first to crash. Diminished pay
means d m ms h e d sales.
Empty pockets are not much
encouragement for the aver
age business man.
One of the next victims of un-
is the farmer. When
the city worker must curtail his
food buying, instantly the
farmer suffers. But there is one
redeeming feature in farming,
you generally have enough to
eat. The welfare of the farmer
as we'll as the small business
man is tied to the wages of the
Whatever helps the
helps them.
Sometimes big business out
maneuvers itself. The students
that are going on now might de-
feat their own intentions. They
want to defeat the repeal of the
Taft Hartley Act, better and
low-cost housing, more adequate
social security, medical and hos
pitilization insurance (socialized
they call IT'D and other
beneficial legislation.
But remember the action of
big business interests when
was ready to be in
in 1888. There they
were asking for help even before
Roosevelt had his bags un-
packed. Where are they now?
Right in Congress with their
lobbies scotching all the good
for the worker that
they can, scotch The campaign
of the special interests is well
oiled financially-oiled with the
money made for them by their
In my opinion, Pres
ident Truman made an excellent
that he may take to
the road again as he did in the
last campaign to carry his mes
sage to the people One thing
convinces me he is right in his
attitude. All the newspapers who
oppose Truman want him to
stay home. They want him to
tend to his business-in Wash
ington. Oh no, not on the road
Mr. President. Stay home where
you belong. Stay home in Wash
ington where we can do a job
on you.
All these things should con-
vince these who work for liv-
in to be more determined to
do a still better political job in
the next election two years
hence. Maybe some kicking
around will awaken us from our
lethargy.
Stoutly depressed farm prices,
long lines of unemployed search
ing for jobs where there are
none, and small business's fold
