NEW YORK (LPA) - Some
plain talking by President Theo-
dore II. Maenner of the Natl
Association of Real Esta tie
Boards is causing lot of stir in
housing and real estate circles
The chief of the real estate
lobby, on the eve of passage OF
the low-rent public housing bill,
told the annual dinner of the
New York Association of Real
Estate Boards that 1.-THE industry
itself should have done some
thing worth while about the
general housing situation oO
years ago, then perhaps the de
Imand for public housing would
mot be so insistent in some
quarters.
He criticized his audience ol
real estate men for holding
aloof," and being ito busy with
their own affairs" to become
civic forces. He termed the
New York realtors politically
/ impotent."

.ChrysIer BaIks
At Demands
Union Says Contract
Allows Opening

DETROIT (LPA) - In terms
sounding familiarly like those
employed by Ford, the Chrysler
Motor Co., last week baked at
United Auto Workers-ClOs
1949 health and retirement in
surance demands.
Robert w. Condor, Chrysler
labor relations director, said
that the company is willing to
meet with UAW negotiators
this week to discuss wage ad-
iustments. But, he said, the re-
opening clause in the UAW-
Chrysler contract, which runs
another year, authorizes wage
talks only in 1949.
UAW Chrysler Director Nor
man Matthews countered with
the warning that If Chrysler
remains stiff-necked on pen
sions and health benefits the
union will up its wage demands
TO equal the amount that the
social insurance programs would
cost the company - for total
of over 28c an hour, for 65,OOO
workers.
Ford workers, meanwhile, are
debating whether or OF U
strike in an attempt to breaf
the barriers Ford Motor Co. ha'
set up against their claims. Un
like the Chrysler contract, thu
Ford agreement expires thi'
year.
Last week UAW Presiden
Walter Reuther went to Wash
ington at the request of All
Secretary Stuart Symington t
help arrive at a settlement o
the 10-week strike of 6,lO(

Can we afford to settle TO

Then the Institute made thi

malignant Taft Hartley Law.
This measure, which has been

The victory which was forged

Modifying a previous referee S
decision, the Board pointed out
that the man could not be con-

period inasmuch as he had been
paid for that week. However,
the Board stated, he was fully
unemployed for the second week
inasmuch as he had received nc
pay for that week.
In allowing the mans claim
as of the second week of the va
cation period, the Board citeo
that section of the Ohio Law
which reads: can individual

ployed in any week during
which he performs no services

no remuneration is payable tt
him.
Plant Wide Vacation
The Board said that the
claimant met the totally unem

his second week despite the fac
that that week was part of thu
plant-wide vacation period.
The dissenting member of the
three-man board, in asserting
that the claimant should have
been denied benefits, pointed
out that the latter had failed t(
establish that he was Cd liable
to work and available for work
within the meaning of the OhiC
Law during the second week o

III tIllS StdLe
Since Governor L aus c h e
has repeatedly urged such
legislation, even threatening
to veto slum clearance legisla-
ton unless public housing
was authorized, it was a fore
gone conclusion that he would
sign the bills promptly.
Real Estate Lobbyists defeated
Vote on Am. H. B.-179 and
H. B.-273 came after attempts
to play political football with
the bills failed in the Senate
Rules Committee. Real estate
lobbyists, who reigned supreme
in the Legislature when the Re-
publicans held top-heavy ma
jorities, sat helplessly by, as the
Democratic-led Senate pushed
the bills through.
Chief opposition came from
the Republican side of the
chamber with Senator David
Ferguson Cambridge getting
off his customary emotional
speech against any kind of liber-
al legislation.
To the senator from Cam
bridge, author of the anti-Labor
Ferguson Law and consistent
Big Business mouthpiece on the
Senate floor, it was fool bill. E"
Labelling it fraud and a dis
grace to sound thinking, Fer
guson mouthed his usual anti
Labor insults. "It will only
benefit shirkers who prefer to
spend their money in saloons, y
he shouted.
Boyd Explains" His Vote
Accustomed to Ferguson
trades, the Senate sat silently
and, with a minimum of debate
killed his attempt to recommit
the bill, and then voted for the
two measures. Senator William

to explain his vote.
