fair level, consistent with full en-
ployment IN industry.
Labor, in its April l6 issue
hailed the Truman Brannan pro
gram as "a broad new program de
signed to help, not only farmers
but workers, business men ano
everyone else in the country" and
as proof that the Democrats hao
not forgotten their campaign pre-
misses.
League Reporter summary of
Brannan'S proposals underlined the
fact that "to consumers and labor
he offered lower prices for meat,
milk, fresh vegetables, eggs, but
ter and other perishable farm pro-
ducts that represent the major part
of the consumers cost Of living
items" These perishable products
account for 75ft of farm income
and on these the Truman Brannan
program would allow prices to fall
to free market level.
"Then," Reporter explains, "the
government would pay the differ
ence in cash (between the guaran-
teed price and the market price,
directly to the farmer. This would
give the farmer a somewhat high
er income than he gets under the
present government-subsidjzed and
government guaranteed price sup
port program.
THE consumer on the other
hand would get break because he
could buy these non-perishable
commodities at much lower prices
than at present"

Need Labor Dolly Pepper To
Combat c. Conservative Press

Washington, d. C. (ILNS). -
"a big, brutal opposition" from a
strong daily labor paper is needed
now to balance the papers that
take zone general side of a social
question:" A. j. Liebling, outspoken
critic of American newspapers, de-
clared here.
Liebling, who is the "wayward
Press" editor of the New York told
the American Veterans Committee
Press and Radio Wing that he
would like to see a labor and con-
|servative press "slugging it out"
Calling for a "real competition
of ideas" to replace merely com
mercial competition to see who will
get the most circulation and ads
and who will sell out to whom.
Liebling urged "a great big strong
bullying press on the other side
which would be just as abusive and
considerably more intelligent" than
the ultra-conservative papers.
obviously labor unions are the
only ones who have the money to
do it." he said. Such a paper, ac-
cording to Liebling, would also
buck up the pretty decent, we'll
meaning papers of the center, who,
if they say something liberal, feel
they have done their duty for the
year"
Liebling deplored the failure of
present-day newspapers to "dig"
for news. 81 can't imagine any
paper now doing the digging done
by the st. Louis Post dispatch to
uncover the Teapot Dome scandal
in 1924" he said.
Hits Newspaper Sameness
He also criticized standardized
coverage of news" and the same
ness of newspapers caused by the
use of syndicated columns which
"reflect publishers ways of think
ing"
"a strong labor press that will
go out and work for general cir
culation is. the only way out" he
emphasized.

NEW LAWS PERIL TEACHERS

New York (LPA)-A warning
that recent legislation enacted by
various states was interfering with
the political and social rights of
teachers was sounded here last
week by DR.. Harold Taylor, pres
ident of Sarah Lawrence College,
in a speech opening the annual
spring conference of the Teachers
Guild-AFL. Declaring that teach
ers were the basic force for the
preservation of democracy, DIR.
Taylor urged his audience "to i'm
prove the quality of teaching
everywhere and to deal with mat
ters of democratic loyalty by edu-
cational and administrative means
within your local situation"

of Status" he soberly told the
Congressman, "begins with the as
sertion of the supreme authority
and right of the group. From
cradle to grave, all men are under
obedience" And we've been living
under Status for the past 16 years,
Griffiths says.
Now, here are some of his views:
ain modern attempts to re-estab-
lish Status this badge of econ
omic, social and political serfdom
has been sugar-coated with the
name of social justice as well as
social security, and the false rep
resentation has been made that it
is progressive and Humanitarian.
Indeed it is neither just, progress
sive, nor humanitarian. 1t is only
made to appear to be these things
while in reality it is unjust, pro-
foundly regressive and anti-hum-
unitarian because it reduces the in
dividual to the status of a number
on a card and divests him of his
birthright as a man: freedom"
at is one of the characteristics
of the Society of Status that the
political unit over which it holds
sway eventually becomes one vast
prison."
This issue here, then, is not the
welfare of a few, or even of mil
Ions of aged people. 1t is the well
fare of the Whole American econ
omy."
"Real social security in the US
will not result from this or any
other variety of economic quack-
cry. For economic quackery it is
despite all the pious humanitarian
ism and the $40 words used to ex-
tol it. Real social security will
come from only one thing: increas-
ed and further increased produc-
tion. This automatically will carry
with it full employment, steady
employment, and Il wider diffusion
Of economic goods. Nothing else
will provide these things. Asking
for doles, setting up schemes foi
handouts which are miscalled i'm
surance' when they are not insur-
ance, attempting the economic inn
becility of so-called full employ
ment bills is to miss the real point
of how a free economy works, and
the real benefits it can provide"

ing terrible fire hazards at the
Ohio State Schools for the Deaf
and the Blind in Columbus, organ
lied labor in Ohio is campaigning
for new, fireproof schools.
The Columbus Federation of
Labor and local unions thruout the
state have called upon Gov. Frank
Lausche and the Ohio Legislature
to. appropriate enough money to
start a rebuilding program this
year.
The campaign started after the
Columbus Building & Construction
Trades Council had a group of
their members inspect the 80 and
9O-year old buildings. More than a
score of men representing every
phase of the building industry
spent day carefully going over
the buildings.
Their sizzling report, submitted
to the Columbus Federation of
Labor by Executive Secretary Al
Vesy, led to an emergency resolu-
ton. Strongly-worded protes S
were sent to the governor and the
legislature.
The. labor unions are reminding
the public and the lawmakers that
many lives were lost in fretrap
buildings recently at Kenyon Col
lege in Ohio and at the Effingham,
ILL.,, hospital. Conditions at the
state schools in Columbus, they
pointed out, are even worse than
those at Kenyon and Effngham.
Labor's attitude was expressed
in an editorial in the Columbus
Labor Tribune which pointed out
that the schools were built shortly
after the Civil War and that the
wood construction has been drying
out and rotting for nearly CEN
tury.
''These two schools are fragrant
examples of a states lethargy, of
so many officials indifference to-
ward human life and human de-
cency," the editorial declared after
pointing out that the ancient build
ings have been condemned repeat
edly by the Ohio fire marshal for
the last 20 years, without any steps
being taken to replace them.
"The startling truth is that a
flash fire at either Of these schools
would bring a tragedy so terrible
that the people of Ohio could never
forget it," the editorial continued.
"Most Of the money needed to
build new schools already has been
appropriated. Land has been
bought. The Legislature needs to
provide only $1,775,000 more from
the states surplus.
"That is not very much when it
may mean the difference between
a happy life and an agonizing
death for several hundred handi-
capped children"
The State School for the Deaf
has 800 youngsters. The Blind
School has more than 200. All are
between the ages Of 6 and lS.
Among conditions exposed by
the labor groups are these:
THE main building at Deaf
School, used for dormitories, din
ing rooms and Offices, has wood
floors and ceilings, open stairwells,
and drafty corridors. 1t is topped
by four huge cupolas which would
act like giant flues in case of n
fire.
2-This 220-room building has
no safe fire escapes. Children hous-
ed on fourth-floor dromitories
would have to flee down four
flights of wooden fire escapes and
across wood porches to escape a
fire.

Union Industries Show New
Approach To Prosperity

Washington, d. c. (ILNS). =
"The Union Industries Show is a
new and scientific approach to
prosperity and good relations be-
tween labor and management, y
said |. M. Ornburn, director of the
'49 AFL exhibition, to be held May
18 through % in Cleveland, Ohio.
Increased sales of union-made
products is determining factor in
higher standards for all Ameri-
cans" he said, because it is the
vast purchasing power created by
high-wage, union workers that
forms the foundation of prosper
ity.
"We must continue the develop
ment of our abundant resources by
unionized industries to create en-
ployment for our ever-increasing
population in the United States
and Canada. By their patronage of
firms that display union labels,
shop cards and union buttons,
union minded and label-conscious
members of trade unions and
women's auxiliaries are doing more
than any other group in our land
to preserve our American way of
life.
"The Union Industries Show is a
dramatic review of everything that
is union Our chief objective is to
have all consumers throughout
America demand only union-made
goods and use union services"

Senate Will Try Te Repeal T.H Act

WASHINGTON. (P) - Senator Ebert Thomas D.-Utah Saturday turned down a Presidential as- signment abroad-a fresh indica- ton that the Senate will take the next turn in attempts to repeal the Taft-Hartley labor law.
 Thomas, who heads the Senate labor committee and is chief au- thor of the administrations sub- stitute for the T-H act, said he de- cided not to attend the interna- tional labor organization confer ence in Geneva as an American representative.
 II told the president that I be- lieve the labor bill, health, wage and hour and other legislation made my going to Geneva un- wise," Thomas told a reporter.
 House leaders apparently are disposed to let the Senate try for the T-H repeal, since House ef- forts ended in stalemate all around.

 The court of inquiry in the case was ordered by Rear Admiral M. D. Willcutts, commandant of the naval medical center. Just exact ly what it might examine was not certain in advance. From state ments of officials at the hospital, this story was reconstructed:
 In the weeks that followed For restaIs entry for treatment, he seemed to be on the road to com plete recovery. He received visi- tors, among them President Tru- man, made phone calls, read the paper.
 But when the patients bedtime came Saturday night he declined to take the usual sedative.

There the window unlike that of his own room, had no tightly secured wire screen. A nurse on the seventh floor heard the thud of his body as it struck an offset of the building above the third floor. He was dead when attendants rushed to the spot. Curiously, his wristwatch was still running. He wore his pa- jamas and his bathrobe. The robes belt cord was twisted tight ly around his neck.
 Admiral Willcutts told report CTS: That type of suicide is inn possible to prevent. You can't take a man of that brilliance and put a guard over him all the time. There were fewer and fewer restrictions as his condition improved"
