The Washington Merry Go Round
By DREW PEARSON

icopyrignt. l949, by Bell Syndicate, Incl
 WASHINGTON-The battle over old-age pensions in the steel in dustry is being watched by several million people not only in other industries but especially in south ern California and Florida, where pr. Townsend's old-age pension movement and the ham, and-eggers have been so strong.
 Regardless of how the steel dis pute comes out, more and more de- mands for old-age pensions will follow.
 One little-realized fact in the steel dispute is that, during the Presidents fact finding board hearings, CIO chief Phil Murray appealed to the steel industry to settle the old-age pension issue by supporting the social security bill now before Congress. He said:
 Look here, you fellows, there's bill before Congress right now calling for increased old-age pen- sions for everyone. Will you join me in supporting it?"
 Murray's remark was addressed to Enders Voorhees, and John Ste phens, executives of U s. Steel; to C. M. White of Republic Steel. A. B. Homer of Bethlehem. Ben

 The walkout of 480,000 miners entered it's 1lth day today. Lewis who wasn't expected to attenc either meeting, said it was spon- taneous demonstration hy the unior men, that it was not a strike.
 Coal stocks were dwindling rapidly. Thousands of men hao been laid off because of the coal stoppage.
 Probe Dynamite Blast
 The Grass Flat episode came this morning. State police, already bull warked by extra details, said they were Investigating the dynamite blast, but had made no arrests.

Long Range B-36 Bombers,
 Capable of Delivering Aiom
 Bombs Being Based, AIaska

FORT WORTH, Texas, Sept. D.. --tR-The Star Telegram said to- day long range B-36 bombers be- gan moving to Alaskan bases last week at the same time President Truman announced an atomic ex- plosion in Russia.
 The newspaper said the huge bombers were manned by crews trained to deliver the atomic bomb.
 The 8th Air Force, whose 87th Bombardment Wing is the only wing in the Air Force operating B-36s. is located at Carswell Air Force Base here Eighth Air Force headquarters described the B-36 flights as routine training missions"
 However, the Star Telegram said it learned one of the planes which flew to Alaska carried Brig. Gen. John William P Fisher, Carswell base commander and commander of the 7th Bombardment Wing.
 Maj. Gen. Roger Ramey, the 8th's commander and one of the top ex- perts in the Air Force on atomic warfare, was scheduled to return to his headquarters here today af- ter more than week of conferen- ces in Washington.
 Col. Cecil Combs, Ramey's dep- uty commander, left Carswell Tues day on one of the B-36 flights to join Montgomery and Fisher at Eielson Air Base near Fairbanks.
 Combs was accompanied by Maj. Gen. Earl Barnes, member of Sec- retary of Defense Johnson's spec ial weapons eyaluation board.
 Previous test flights from Cars well to Alaskan bases were made during the summer. to test opera tional characteristicss of the hig planes in weather conditions of the far north and to survey facilities available there for crewncn and for servicing the planes.
 One of these flights carried Ramey and some of .,his top staff officers to Elmendorf Air Base at Anchorage, headquartersi of the Alaskan Air Command. Others went directly to Fairbanks and ranged from the Eielson base there over the Arctic Ocean and polar cap.
 Because special equipment is re- quired for servicing B-36s. in view of their great size. deployment of the sky giants to Alaska has been delayed for some months until such equipment could be made avail- able in Alaska. the Star Telegram said.
 Modification of the sky giants for arctic duty including more powerful piston engines and twin jets-has been underway for sev- eral months here.

WASHINGTON (LPA) The
other day Congressman from a
big city district was leafing thru
the mail he'd been getting about
labor legislation. What he dis
covered might be a lesson for
the whole labor movement.
Some 95 percent of his cor
respondents wanted the Taft
Hartley act repealed.
The remaining five percent
wanted TIL to stay on the
books.
Of the 95 percent opposing
the law, only so percent were
registered voters. A full 40 per-
cent, or two-fifths of that group,
had barred themselves from the
polls.
Of the five percent favoring
cent were registered voters.

huff said.

GREETINGS

ECONOMIC COOPERATION
ADMINISTRATION

This year we have particul-
arly good reason to honor Amer
lean labor. During the past
twelve months the Marshall
Plan has been under way. All
American groups were asked to
help in this great adventure,
aimed at recreating those con-
ditions in Europe in which men
could live in decency, dignity
and freedom. American labor
responded magnificently. The
constant and vigorous support
of the Marshall Plan helped
make possible the results we can
see today. Your generosity in
lending us your leaders to help
work out the European Re-
covery Program signifies your
sincerity and your determinat-
ion that the program shall sue
ceed.
wish personally to greet you
on this day. wish personally to
thank you for your unlimited
assistance and support of an idea
which became a program, of a
program which is rapidly be-
coming continent rebuilt.

American democracy has the
will, the strength and the prac-
tical know-how to meet the chal-
lenge of peace. We reject the
Iplann e d depression of doom,
the men of little faith and less
vision who would lead us back
to 'normalcy" with its recurring
booms and busts--its feasts and
famines. American labor de-
mands total all-out economic
mobilization for peace as the
only way to achieve and main
tain full production, full en-
ployment economy.
We reject any efforts to limit
arbitrarily our claim to a higher
standard of living. American la
bors right to enjoy a fuller,
richer and more secure life
should be limited only by our
ingenuity, our technology and
our resources. The timid eco
nomics of monopoly and scarcity
must yield to the bold economics
of full production and abun-
dance on every sector of our
productive effort.
America fully-employed can
find markets for its new-found
abundance by satisfying the un-
fulfilled needs of millions of
American families. The magni-
tude of those needs is shown by
a partial listing of the def
ciences in our homes alone: 81
per cent have no electric lights.
30 per cent no running water, 40
per cent no inside toilets, Al per
cent no private bath facilities, SIS
per cent no mechanical refrig-
orators and ID per cent are in
need of major repairs.
The full organizational and
moral strength of the labor
must be brought to
bear on the economic and poll
tical tasks ahead. On the eco
nomic front, labor must succeed

has the Nation.
Labor Day, however, is more
than a holiday for celebrating
the achievements of the worker
and extolling his contribution to
the forward march of our econ
omy. This year, more than ever,
if is a time for a sober evalua-
ton of the problems that labor,
together with all other groups
in our country, faces in our COM
plex world, and of our mutual
responsibility in meeting them.
Labor has become full part
ner in our economy. The ma
chinery for weighing labor's
needs and for adjusting the
problems of labor-management
relations is being developed and
improved through the coopera-
ton of employers and en-
ployees. But today labor must
also be a full partner in all our
undertakings, not only within
our borders but beyond the seas;
for in the long run our actions
in the field of foreign policy will
affect the welfare of every man,
woman and child. 1t is source
of pride that statesmen in the
ranks of labor are alert to their
responsibility in this field and
are making a vital contribution
to our international programs.
am confident that labor will
give the same devotion to the
attainment of our common OBJ
jectives at home and abroad that
it has long demonstrated in
seeking better working condi-
tions, adequate wages and a
higher standard of security for
workers and their families,

House Cuts Out
Best Parts Of
Housing Bill

WASHINGTON (LPA)- A
"middle-income" housing bill
that contains all the features de-
manded by the real estate ano
bankers lobbies, and none of the
features asked by veterans and
labor groups, was approved by
the House last week.
Eliminated from the House
bill were sections encouraging
the development of cooper
ative housing associations, and
providing for direct loans to
co-ops and to veterans.
President Truman has been
asked to intervene to save the
coop and the veterans sections,
and leaders in the Senate are
expected to attempt to pass the
best possible version on their
side of the Capitol, to allow
them the strongest bargaining
position when the measure goes
to conference between the two
sides of Congress.
President Murray Lincoln of
the Cooperative League USA
wrote Truman that the Congress
and the administration face a
choice between program to
promote home ownership and a
program to preserve high mort
gage interest rates.
Union officials backed up
Lincoln's plea for the coop
program, and Sen. John Spark
man, author of the bill approved
by the Senate Banking Commit
tee, expects to fight hard to re-
store the program when the bill
reches the Senate floor
The crucial sections to be
watched are Title s. dealing
with housing co-ops-and the
section authorizing veterans ad-
mnnistration to make direct
loans to veterans at 4eo interest
tcontrasted with the Az %

homes.
