30-HOUR WEEK
SEEN REALITY

Washington. - The AFL objec-
tive Of a 30-hour week was given a
surprise endorsement by Summer
II. Slichter, big business economist
on the Harvard University faculty.
DR.. Slichter cautiously forecast
that the American economy would
be operating on a 30-hour week by
1880. Most AFL leaders believe it
will come much more quickly than
that.
Writing in the current issue Of
"The Atlantic Monthly" DR.. Slich-
ter forecast these things by 1880:
A total population of IT'S, 100000,
a work force Of 72,500,000, number
of hours worked by each person
per year one-fourth less than at
present, a national output Of goods
and services (S246, ZOO, 100000 in
1948) Of S416,000,0 100000 and more
likely in excess Of $3.50, 1000, ,O00,0 COO.
Consumption up 80 to 100 per-
cent per capita, country Of 2-car
families, almost every home with
swimming pool, wider use Of medi-
cal services Of all kinds, growth Of
travel and the number Of people
completing high school and college,
and a certainty that with the great
er leisure for the people the arts
will flourish in the United States
as never before in the history Of
the world.

Farmers Profit
From Higher
City Incomes

Washington UPA) - Farmers
have a heavy stake in the rising
earnings Of city workers, Commiss-
ioner of Labor Statistics Evan
Clague told Senate subcommittee
Investigating the spread between
farm prices and what is charged
the housewife for processed foods
on Nov. 20.
"Rising earnings and higher in
come Of workers families in the
cities have brought about greatly
increased consumption of farm pro-
ducts over the past decade or more.
Not only are city workers buying
more farm products in quantity,
but they also have greatly increas-
ed their spending of dollars for
this purpose.
"The most substantial quantity
Increases" Clague pointed out,
"are for those food items which at
one time or another have been in
the luxury class for the lower in
come groups-meats, poultry, eggs,
dairy products, fruits and juices.
In cereals, there was a shift from
flour and bread to ready-to-eat
cereals and cookies, cakes and
pies"
Any cut in city families incomes
would hit the farmer quickly and
hard, Clague warned. "There is
ample indication" he said, "that
in the cities do pay
close attention to the prices of
various agricultural products and
are buying the lower-priced ones
wherever possible"
The subcommittee, headed by
Sen. Guy Gillette Cd, Iowa., ex-
poets to hear later this week from
Dept economists, mar
keting experts, and from the big
companies in the dairy industry
Borden's and Natl Diaries.

Mccrath Predicts
A&P Price Level
Only Temporary,

Washington (LPA)-Once groc-
cry store competition is driven out
of community by planned loss
program" the APP food chain is
likely to raise prices again to a
higher level. That has happened in
the past, and is one of the reasons
why the federal antitrust suit
against APP is so important, At
torney General ]. Howard McGrath
declared in a copyright interview
in the Nov. % issue of US News.
"In the long rum" McGrath as
serted, "I think the APP has made
a mistake from a public relations
point of view," thru its use Of
newspaper advertisements to argue
its side of the suit"
Asked whether in the long view
the consumer is better protected if
there is competition at the produc-
ing end, even though it might not
mean a lower price tomorrow, Nc
Grath asserted, That's right"
McGrath denied assertions in
A&P advertisements appearing in
thousands of papers on the same
day the interview appeared that
"A&P will be put out of business"
and that the breaking up of the
giant chain will wipe out the saw
ings you now enjoy on the foods
APP makes"

Ipana Smile Does
Not Please FTC

Washington (LPA)-The manu-
facturers of Ipana toothpaste ran
into trouble with the Federal Trade
Commission this week for the ads
they have been running about
their product.
The Commission ordered Ipana
to cease claiming that "the use of
Ipana with massage will prevent
pink tooth brush or aid in he
treatment of its causes; that Ipana
has any significant therapeutic
value in the treatment of mouth,
tooth or gum diseases; or that
massage with Ipana stimulates the
circulation in the gums or prevents
gum trouble"
ETC further ordered the Ipana
people to stop saying that modern
diets or soft, well-cooked foods do
not give the gums the exercise or
stimulation they need or that such
diets or foods made the gums sus-
ceptible to trouble"
Another false claim of the tooth
paste ads, the Commission ruled, is
that "twice as many US dentists
personally use Ipana as any other
and that more US dem
fists recommend Ipana for use by
their patients than any other two
combined"

Farm Income Off
But Distributors
Take The Benefit

Washington UPA) - What may
be considered by Congressional
supporters of the Brannan farm
program as a boost for their
scheme was given by Oris V. Wells,
chief of the Agriculture Depart
ment's Bureau Of Agricultural
Economies, before a Congressional
subcommittee studying the gap be-
tween prices and what the house
wife pays for farm products.
Prices paid by farmers have de-
clined only little in the past year,
while the prices farmers are get
ting for their products are about
IL per cent under a year ago, and
about 22 per cent below the record
high prices of January 194s, Agri-
culture Dept revealed Nov. 90.
The squeeze on the farmer by
professors, wholesalers and re-
tailers is shown, Wells told the
Senators, by the fact that the
farmers share Of the family food
dollar has declined from SO per
cent in July 1913 to AZ per cent in
October 1949. Even more dramatic
is the drop in the share Of the con-
sumers' dollar for bread and baked
goods received by the farmer, while
the bakers and retailers share
rose. The same is true of poultry
and eggs, the farm economist said.
The plan of Agriculture Secre-
tary Charles Brannan, which would
make payments directly to farmers
for certain kinds of production in
order to keep their income at a
fair level, would bypass the pro-
cessors and distributors. 1t would
also have the effect of keeping
prices to the consumers for these
products at lower levels than now. |

Provinces Fight
Plan To Abandon
Rent Control

Ottawa (LPA) - The Canadian
governments threat to abandon
rent control early next year has
met with plenty of opposition.
In Toronto, caucus of the 20
members of the Ontario legislature
belonging to the Cooperative Com
monwealth Federation called upon
Prime Minister st. Laurent to
postpone the date of authorized
rent increases until a provincial
rent control law could be passed.
In addition, the caucus pointed out
that large scale housing program
would be a better solution to the
housing problem than rent control.
In Regina, the premier of Sask-
atchewan wrote st. Laurent saying
the province would accept local re-
sponsibility for rent control, but
with reluctance. The Canadian
government should control rents
SO that policies can be uniform
everywhere, the premier said, and
provincial controls might be out
lawed by the courts.

Peaceful Picketing Upheld Again

Los Angeles (LPA)-No court
can issue an injunction prohibiting
peaceful picketing, Judge Andrew
r. Schottky ruled in Superior
Court. AFL members had picketed
the Roosevelt building despite a
previous Superior Court injunction
and certain pickets, through mis-
understanding, had violated the
original court order. Judge Schot-
tky denied the right of injunction
directed against peaceful picketing,
and maintained the pickets who
violated the order were not in con-
tempt of court.
Despite previous State Supreme
Court rulings upholding the right
of peaceful picketing, many judges
have continued to issue bans on
peaceful picketing.

OKs Statehood For
African Colony

LAKE SUCCESS, N. Y.-Free-
dom for Lybia's 100000 inhabi-
tants by Jan. /, 1852, was guaran-
teed last Wednesday when the UN
political committee voted unani-
mously to grant independence and
sovereign statehood "as soon as
possible" to the former Italian
colony.
A demand for immediate indie
pendence was rejected, rs was an
other proposal by Soviet Delegate
A M A z S P Arutiunian that all
T reign military bases be liquidat-
ed.
4he plan adopted calls for a 10
man UN commission to advise Ly-
bia during her transition period to
complete freedom. DR.. Ralph j.
Bunche, Negro diplomat of Pales-
tine fame, has been mentioned as
possible head Of the advisory coun-
Gil.
Lydia, about two and one half
times as large as Texas, includes
Cirenaico, Tripolitania, and the
Fezzan. Both Great Britain and
the United States maintain mill
tary and air bases in the North
African country.
This fact was the major soviet
argument for immediate indepen-
dence. The Soviet delegate charg-
ed that the anglo American Bloc
intends to use Lydia as a spring
board for an attack upon Russia.
The natives would later deter
mine their own form of govern
ment through a Lybiar National
assembly, the formula provides.

knight May Face
New Trial In
lntermarriage Case

LAUREL, Miss, Aug. 22-Davis
Knight, whose conviction on a mis-
cegenation charge was reversed by
State Supreme Court Monday
probably will be tried again ac-
cording to District Attorney Paul
G. Swartzfager.
SWartzfager said he hadn't read
the court decision and didn't want
to comment on it yet. But he did
say, however, that Eve will def
nitely try the case again if pos
sible."
Knights attorney, Quitman Ross,
said the high court, decision was
what we expected" He added
that he hoped the state won't
waste any more of the peoples
money in a futile effort to convict
Knight"
Knight had been sentenced to
five years in prison for marrying
white girl after Jones county
court ruled he was at least one
eighth negro. Under Mississippi
law, person with one-eighth or
more Negro blood is considered a
negro and marriage between a
negro and white is Illegal in the
state.
In reversing the lower court de-
cision Monday, the Supreme Court
said the state had not proven its
contention that Knight was "at
least one-eighth negro" The court
ordered that Knight be given a new
trial
