.Spafkman on Rights

Representative Helen Gahagan
Douglas, Democrat Of California,
and Senator Sparkman, Democrat,
Of Alabama. debated "A Realistic
Program for Civil Rights last
night at a seminar at the Jewish
Community Center.
The civil rights issue is not a
Southern problem or even a ma
tional problem but world prob
lem Mrs. Douglas declared.
"The program of civil rights is
opposed by the cry of State rights
but the real issue is between hu-
man rights and State wrongs" 1"
she told the audience of more
than 400.
Senator Sparkman said the
basic difficulty in the race prob
lem in the South is economic in
nature. He suggested that real
istic approach to the problem of
equal civil rights should include
"divorclng the problem from poll
tics, providing equal but separate
educational facilities with sub
stantial increases in Federal aid
and lifting the economic level of
all the people.
Herman Edelsberg. Washington

Farmers Spokesman
Opposes Change in
1aft-Hah|ey Law
By Jones Y. Newton

H. L. Strobel, secretary treas
urer Of the Associated Farmers Of
California, urged Congress today
to retain the Taft-Hartley Act as
means of protecting the public
from "power-mad labor leaders"
who would show mo compunction
in starving the public to gain their
ends" If allowed to move into
agriculture.
Mr.. Strobel testified before a
House Labor Subcommittee which
is conducting hearings on the
administration labor bill which
President Truman hopes to sub
stitute' for ft-Hartley.
He told the committee to con-
tinue to withhold from farm labor
the collective bargaining rights
which have been granted to in
dustrial workers.
Mr.. Strobel, whose organization
receives $4,000 year support
from California manufacturers
said he was opposed to extending
labor union privileges to farm
workers because that would
place the production of foodstuffs
in the hands of power-mad labor
leaders who would have no COM
junction in starving the public to
gain their ends"
He was the first witness as the
third day of hearings opened be-
fore the House group considering
Taft Hartley repeal and the ad-
miniStration'S bill
The committee returned to con-
sideration of overall labor legis-
lation after approving another

Mansfield, Ohio.
He was paroled January 2l, ls48
Ramsdell was picked up in
Youngstown in January, 1949, on
an assault and battery charge
after he got into an argument with
gas station attendant over the
price of gasoline. 1t was then he
was sent for a mental check
When he was pronounced sane
he was sentenced to 80 days IN
iail and fined $40.
Ashton, the FBI believes, was
born In Youngstown on July 3
1928. At various times, however
he has given his birth date as 1927
and 1926.
He is slim, broWn-haired and
blue-eyed. He is S feet 7 inches
tall and weighs 1862 pounds.
Once, according to the FB1. he

ington had planned to establish
health clinics and preventative
medicine programs:
General Accounting Office, Gov
ernment Printing Office. Civil
Service Commission. War Assets
Administration. Securities and
Exchange Commission, Federal
Reserve Board, Budget Bureau
and a scattering of other units.
The Public Health Service will
only have enough money to sur
vey the following agencies here
during the coming year: Post Of
flee Department, Economic Co.
operation Administration National
Labor Relations Board and the
National Advisory Committee for
Aeronautics.
Public Health had asked the
Budget Bureau for $367,0 900 for
the next fiscal year to make sur
veys here and out Of town. But
for some unstated reason, the
Budget Bureau allowed the agency
only $4,000 for this purpose. And
this was the amount voted by the
House Appropriations Committee.
since the Public Health Service
could not openly ask for more
money than was authorized in the
Presidents program.
This leaves the Senate as the
last hope-faint as it may be
of providing the full amount
originally sought by the agency.
APATHY-One of the most sur
prising things about the whole
situation is the complete apathy
of the various Government en-
ployes' unions toward the program
Despite the fact that the program
would provide clinical facilities,
emergency treatment and prevent
ative health advice to Government
employees. Federal employe unions
have done nothing to push the
program forward. Public Health
officials declare that they can't
understand the attitude of Federal
union leaders. They say Govern
ment employees would benefit
greatly under the health program
as would, the Government itself in
the way Of healthier and more
efficient workers.
These officials point to the vast
progress made in employe health
programs in private industry dur
ing the last few years. They say
there is no reason why the Gov
eminent should not follow suit.
NAVY WAGES-A bipartisan
bill to give labor representation on
Navy Department Wage Boards
has been introduced by Chairman
Johnston of the Senate Civil Serv-
ice Committee and Senator
Bridges. Republican, of New
Hampshire. The measure will be
handled by Senator Johnston's
committee.
The bill would give unions equal
representation with Navy officials
on the Wage Boards. which set the
salaries of the Navys Wage Board
employees. Union officials were
represented on these boards before
the war, but are not at present.
OPPOSITION-The. Civil Serv-
ice Commission can be expected
to register its opposition to the
Hoover Commission personnel de-
Capitalization proposals when it
submits it's views on the Hoover
report to President Truman.
The President has asked the
and all other Federal
agencies to submit their reactions

report, by March II. While all
agency opinions will receive care
full consideration. the commission S
views are the most important be-
cause Of the commissions prime
role in the personnel field.
Once the views are submitted,
the Budget Bureau will study them
and recommend to the White
House what should be done in re-
gard to the Hoover proposals.
This will take some time. Most of
the Hoover proposals in regard to
relegating authority to the in
dividual departments and agencies
would be brought about through
legislation enacted by Congress.
The Civil Service Commission
is expected to frown on the
Hoover proposals in regard to de-
centralization as well as to
changes in the present reduction
ln-force program and in the pres
ent system of fixing Federal SAL
aries. The commission, however,
is expected to agree with the
Hoover findings on the need for
improving the Governments pro-
motion system, the need for
greater recruitment of college
graduates for important positions
and other features of the Hoover
report.
The proposal to give the COM
mission chairman top administra-
tive authority is expected to be
opposed by the commission, al
though one of the three commits
sioners might file minority re-
port on this.
AS disclosed in this column re-
Gently, the opposition of the vari-
Gus veteran and Government en-
ploye groups to the Hoover groups

CARDS to decentralization and

to result in Congress rejecting this

A baseball player has no need
for an alarm clock, Joe explained,
for he sleeps until he awakens,
generally around noon. He eats
a good sized breakfast. The af
ternoons are his own. Hometown
movies are always free as are
IMCA gymnasiums. Joe added to
these pastimes, trips in his car
to nearby places of interest.
Players have an early supper and
report for the game (virtually all
games are at night) at 6:15. At
ter the game he indulges in his
third meal. Then to bed.
| The pay, even in the minor
leagues, is good, Joe says. His
regular salary last summer was
, $500 a month, and there were
many extras and small bonuses
Every homerun was good for a St
