Henry Wallace

LAKE SUCCESS = (Atlas) -
The American people must stand
for a policy of pustice, not ex-
pediency, for a policy of indepen-
dence and self determination
rather than colonial exploitation
and determining the future of
Liberia, Eritrea and omaliland,"
Henry Wallace declared in a state
ment issued to the special 16
nation subcommittee which de
cides the disposition of Italy's
former African Colonies.
Asserting that what African
people wants is self government,
Mr.. Wallace said that what the
USA and Britain are thinking
bout is middle East oil, military
thanking positions in relation to
Greece and Turkey, bombing dis
tances to the nearet Soviet areas.
Concluding his blast of the
attempt to further enslave the
African people, the former Vice
President of the United States
charged:
"This is 1949 not 1919. Africa
can no longer be carved up at
will among foreign rulers. The
people of Africa, along with the
people of China and the rest of
Asia, are marching toward free
dom. 1t is to Americas interest,
and to the interest of the United
Nations as whole, not to stand
in he way of what must be, for
regardless of what the diplomats
at Lake Success may decide to
do with the italian colonies, it is
the people of Africa themselves.

am also very afraid of the things
| want to say. (Polar contrapuntals
and polar counterpoints, fully ex-
posed in modern art, are quite
some tricks)
When discoveries yere made, they
are not made by a single person
alone: others also make the same
discovery, and others HAVE made
it. If ONE comes up with a dis
covery all by himself, the chances
are that he Tor she) is delusioned
about the things he thinks is
SOMETHING.
Last week / said l made the dis
covery of the secret of the first
modern poets, called the Renais-
sance poets, studied in English
literature, really those with whom
English literature begins. (Some-
thing tremendous happened to start
the thing we call Engilh literature
| have tried five years to tell
this discovery which meant SO
much to me, knowing all the time
that in the end, that l should have
to explain it to the plain everyday
people. (Srholars never want to
listen, really.)
1T is a kings secret" I said.
And then found that the British
government knows it, as this is
for what they have their univer-
sites. Still American people seem
to be the segment of the English
world who are operating without
knowing all the mother country
knows. o. dear: we have the mon
ey, but they know the secret TO the

But it is in the books the
English learned can say. And then
add Yes and DR.. |. A. Richars
IS over there too trying to tell

what did the Atlante University

Remember though, someone
might plead, "she did well, being

l love Mississippi. l think it is
more like England which have
never seen, than any state in the

the air, and our people are hep
without even knowing they are

UAW Seeks Union
Shop At GM, Other
Demands Not Set

Detroit (LPA) A- United Auto
Workers will demand union shop
in its 1850 bargaining demands

Director T. A. tombstone announc-

265,000 GIN workers covered by
JAW contracts made the decision
at a two-day meeting. The GIN
contract expires May 20, negotia-
tions may start March 20. Before
negotiations start, the NLRB will
hold a union-shop poll among GM
workers. At a similar election at
Ford last spring the union shop
won, S8,943 to 1241.
Final demands on other aspects
of the GM contract have not yet

WOMEN IN

Sample clauses on maternity
benefits in union contract health
insurance plans are included in g
pamphlet on collective bargaining
provisions just issued by the L. S
Department of Labor's Bureau OF
Labor Statistics. Chosen from the
bureaus file of over $4,000 agree
ments, the clauses, covering var
Iious health benefits, were compiled
for use by contract negotiators.
Weekly cash benefit payments
in maternity cases, the pamphlet
says, typically cover 6 weeks and
disqualification is limited to 10, IL,
or ID days. Although maternity
benefits are usually part of the
cash disability, disqualification or
other medical care, they may be of
different amount and or duration.
Considerable progress has been
made in the last 10 years in wiping
out salary differentials between
men and women teachers, accord
ing to data released by the Ma
tional Education Association. In
1938-39, IA percent of the large
(over 100000 population cities re-
porting to NEA had salary differ
entails favoring men; by 1948-49
the percent was down to 3.4. For
the smaller cities 10000 to 100,-
coo popuIation) the percentage
dropped from 31.3 in 193S-39 to
90 in 1948-49.
Of SO cities with population over
100000, only 8 scheduled higher
pay for men teachers during the
1948-49 school year OF 2G9 cities
with population 10000 to 100000,
10 scheduled higher pay for men

Governors Ask
For Broader
Social Security

Salt Lake City QLNS).-Broad
extension of social security and
liberalization of benefits under a
contributory plan, which the Am
erican Federation of Labor advoc-
ates, was asked here by the West
ern Governors Conference. Such a
program, the conference said, is
"much preferable" to present old
age assistance given only after a
person becomes destitute.
The conference, in which 6 of the
12 participants are Republicans,
voiced agreement that many ex-
treme discrepancies and made
quacies among the states in old
age and retirement benefits could
best be dealt with by shifting of
as much emphasis as possible from
a charity system to an insurance
system, which implied extension of
social security to as large part
of the population as possible.
1t was noted that old age assist
ance payments of matching state
and federal funds were necessary
to much smaller extent in East
ern states because of their large
populations under social
security.
A long discussion of means of
aiding the languishing mining in
dustry in the West resulted in a
recommendation that "the govern
ment lend all encouragement to
prospecting, exploration and de-
velopment of mines producing es-
sential minerals, and especially
with reference to small mines"
The conference reiterated the
resolution of its last 3 meetings
that Alaska and Hawaii should be!
admitted to statehood.

The Trick Ballot
Victory In Ohio
Faces Court Test

Columbus, Ohio (LPA) - The
big-money boys backing Sen. Rob
ert A. Taft put over the "trich
ballot" at the election Nov. 8, but
they may be cheering too soon
because a court battle is almost
certain.
The voters approved the "Mass-
achusetts-type" ballot, which ends
straight ticket" voting. Under the
change, each voter must mark the
ballot for each individual candidate
he favors.
The Democrats and organized
labor bitterly opposed the change,
claiming that it would mean 100,-
900 more votes for Taft in 1850,
when he runs for reelection. That
was confirmed by COP county
chairman George H. Bender, after
the election. 1t was Bender who
ed the move for the ballot change.
The funds came from the COP ma
chine and the Chamber of Com
merce.
The change is in the form of an
amendment to the state constitu-
ton. The amendment language re-
quires that to be effective, the pro-
posal needed majority of all those
voting. The total state vote was
over 100000. The total vote on
the amendment was 1,650,0O0
Thus, nearly 100000 did not vote
either way on the issue. The
amendment was carried by only
25l 900 votes.
Herbert S. Duffy, the states At
torney General, has been asked by
Charles f. Sweeney, Secretary of
State, to rule whether the legal
requirements have been met, and
whether the new type ballot is now
in effect. If he rules in favor, the
Democrats are expected to go to
court. If he rules against it, the
will.

Union Members Turning More and More
To Own Publication For Accurate News

If you've been reading this
column in this paper, you long age
discovered something to which the
daily papers are finally waking up
That is the fact that union mem
bers don't trust everything they
read about labor, politics and econ
omics in the commercial press
and are turning more and more to
their own union publications for ac-
curate and informative news.
The searching, day-to-day job
that results in the national news
carried by labor papers and jour
mails sometimes is a little too
thorough for some of the friends
of labor" whose records when seen
close up aren't so hot.
Sen. Ed. Johnson of Colorado
for instance, is boiling mad over
the reports Of his activities as a
member of the Senate that are ap-
pearing back home in the state
AFL- endorsed weekly, Colorado
Labor Advocate.
"No self-respecting S e n 0 r,
Johnson writes at white heat, "will
become the slave of the editorial
staff of any publication" His ire
is directed at the Colorado Labor
Advocates detailed inspection OF
the Senator's record in the months
that the 81st Congress has been in
session, and especially about an
editorial telling him that his vote
against Leland Olds' reappoint-
ment to the Federal Power Com
mission is "the last straw"
The advocate, replying to Sena-
tor Johnson, goes right back to the
original reports sent to them by
Nathan Robertson of Labor Press
Association in Washington. The
paper is a member of the Associa-
tion. And it's a damning record
they recall-time after time, on
crucial Fair Deal issues, Sen.
Johnson has thrown his weight ON
the side of the tories. This he's
done, on every issue except Taft
Hartley repeal, despite the fact
that in 1948 organized labor in the
state supported him Loyalty.
What happens in the Democratic
primaries next year in the state of
Colorado will be affected by the
wide knowledge of Sen. Johnson's
record as reported in the labor
weekly read by thousands of key
voters who belong to unions in the
state.
One of the greatest independent
liberal dailies in the country-the
st. Louis Post Dispatch-pointed
this up in an editorial in late Oct
ober. The growth in stature and
leadership of the labor press is
something for the commercial
press to gaze upon with wonder
and some gratitude" said the edi-
torial. There wouldn't be some 30,-
100000 readers of labor periodic
ais, the paper pointed out, "if the
commercial press gave full express
sion to the needs and opinions of
millions Of trade unionists."
In similar vein, the Christian
Science Monitor, the Cleveland
Plain Dealer, and the st. Paul Dis
patch have recently played up the

Wins First Round
To Enter Low
Priced Car Field

Houston, Tex. UPA)-The at
tempt by the "big three" of the
auto industry to freeze the Kaiser
/ Frazer Corp. out of the low-price
car field has failed, Henry Kaiser
has made plain.
Kaiser, who has announced that
he'll put into production sometime
during 1850 IA car intended to com
pete with Ford, Chevrolet, and Ply
mouth, has received the 44,C0O,-
900 loan he requested from the
Reconstruction Finance Corp. to
put the car on the market.
Earlier Sen. j. William Full
bright Cd. Ark) had announced
he'd asked RFC to withhold the
loan until his Senate Banking Sub
committee could hold an investiga-
ton when Congress returns in
January.
The Fulbright demand came only
one day after Kaiser-Frazer ann
ounced in big newspaper ads that
100000 in prizes would be given
in contest to name the new low
priced car.
"The carefully calculated timing
of the tricky maneuver played
along with the blind, selfish forces
of obstruction" on the same day
that Kaiser interests deposited the.
collateral to back up the RFC loan,
Kaiser pointed out. "The plotters
know" the maker charged,
"that every day for rushing tools
and dies and getting into produc-
ticn of new models is invaluable in
the highly competitive auto indus
try"
"They won't stop the loan or our
giving the American people the
kind of low-cost economical full
standard size car for which they
have been crying" Kaiser pre-
dicted. He reviewed his record:
building the first fully-integrated
basic steel industry on the west
coast; production of 100000 cars
since the end of World War III in
the only successful postwar new
car venture; organization Of a
basic steel plant in Texas; break
ing into the aluminium industry,
with the Kaiser plant now turning
out 20%S of the nations primary
aluminium; building the worlds
largest cement plant.
