BEHIND THE HEADLINES
ADVERTISING DEAL BY DOCTORS,
EDITORS DEFENDED BY ANA

this series of developments, Chat
Paterson of the Committee for the
Nations Health, which is cam
paigning for President Truman's
health insurance proposal, issued a
press release calling the action OF
the doctors "an open bribe to the
press of the state"
Later on the Senate floor, Sena-
tor James Z. Murray Cd, Mont.
used the same terms in describing
the incident, which he warned
would "shock" the Senators. Com
menting further, Murray said:
81 am sure that all my colleagues
appreciate the Importance of the
time-honored prohibition of doc
tors advertisements, as a means of
keeping quacks and commercial
ism out of the practice of medicine,
and of protecting the public against
the Establishments and false claims
of takers. Yet, so intense has been
the pressure on the doctors from
their lobby headquarters that they
willingly sacrificed the very ethics
of their own profession in order to
maintain the flow of free publicity
in the columns Of the press"
These are the undisputed facts
of the case, and the comments of
others on them. Readers can reach
their own conclusions. From our
own somewhat prejudiced view
point, it looks to US as though Pat
erson and Sen. Murray are right
and the doctors and editors are
just trying to talk themselves out
of a bad mess. We place no more
confidence in Whitaker's flat den
ials than we do in some of the fig
ures he presented to the press
such as those claiming that most
members Of the California Physic-
ians' Service have incomes of, less
than $4,000 year, which he cited
as proof that voluntary insurance
can provide for low-income fam
lilies.
But more important than any
thing else, we believe the public
has a right to Judge these facts
for itself. So far most of the public
has not had that chance, because
the press has preferred to do its
own Judging of its own guilt, and
not let the people know the facts.

Andrew MdY. 46 Others
Drew Congress Pensions

Washington nPA) - Ex-Con-
gressman Andrew May of Ken
lucky is out on bail while he waits
for his appeal from a conviction
for accepting bribes to fix up gov
eminent contracts to come up in
court.
However, he's drawing enough
money from the government to be
sure Of getting three square meals
a day whatever happens. Andy
May is one of the ex-members Of
Congress who is on the pension
list under the system set up three
years ago, and his monthly take is
s278.
May is the only Congressional
pensioner who has been identified,
but it is known that there are AZ
ex-Senators and ex-Congressmen
in all who are collecting. Their
annual incomes from the pension
plan range from S592 to S7040.
Meanwhile, the social security ex-
tension bill which the House Ways
& Means Committee has approved
gathers dust as the Senate stalls.
To get a Congressional pension
the first thing you do is get elect
ed. The next problem is to make
sure you stay in Congress six
years. This is easy for Senator's,
but Representatives don't always
make it.
After you've been up six years
your worries are over, provided
you are 62 or older. You can retire
or you can be defeated, but you
still eat. In fact, even if you don't
last six years in office, all is not
lost for you receive a lump pay
ment.
Of course, you have to pay six
percent or $3.50 Of the S12,500 you
draw in salary into the fund if you
want a pension. The pension itself
amounts to 2H percent of your
basic salary multiplied by the
number of years you serve.
The ceiling is Is percent of your
last salary or S9375 at the present
scale, but you must serve 80 years
to get it. Simple arithmetic says
that the least you can draw is
$1875 a year. No wonder observers
are puzzled by the fact that one
ex-lawmaker takes a mere 1892.

Halls State Gains
In Fight Against
Restrictive Laws

Washington, D. C. ILNS). =
The North Carolina State Fedora
ton of Labor is to be congratulate
ed and praised for the determined
fight it is making for repeal oi
North Carolina's so-called Fright
to work" law, Assistant Secretary
of Labor Ralph Wright said al
Charlotte.
Hailing victories in other states
won by the supporters of justice
and fair play for wage earners this
year and in 1948, Wright pointed
out that in 1949 the legislatures OF
Delaware and Missouri repealed
their "ittle Taft-Hartley Acts" Ir
addition, he said that the New
Hampshire legislature also repeal
ed an act which regulated, and ir
some cases prohibited, union Sc
curity agreements.
Wright also pointed out that
Michigan had amended it's law
substituting voluntary arbitration
for compulsory arbitration in pub
lie utilities. He added that lasi
year 3 states, Maine, Massachus-
etts and New Mexico, rejected ir
referendum vote measures to re.
strict union activities. In Louisiana
he said that the, legislature repeal
ed a 1916 act which harmfully in
terfered with union activities.
Cites Wage Hour Act Benefits
On the subject of the wage hour
law, Wright said, Industry has
been one of the chief benefciaries
of the wage and hour law. The
benefits of a minimum hourly wage
and a ceiling over hours beyond
which overtime compensation must
be paid were carried down into the
shopping sections of almost every
community in our country. Mer-
chants, farmers, and professional
people benefited because more peo-
pie were getting, and therefore
were able to spend, more money
Other subjects discussed by
Wright were the fight for repeal
of the Taft Hartley Act; increase
of the minimum wage to at least
rs cents an hour; rebuilding and
Strengthening of the U. S. Depart
ment of Labor; and the spotty un-
employment picture.

Struck Chicago
PAPERS Lose Sales,
Typo Union Says

Chicago (LPA) = By the Stub
born refusal to meet the demands
of Typographical Union Local 16-
AFL, Chicago newspaper publish
ers may be cutting their own
throats, the union implies in a re-
cent bulletin.
During July, the Chicago Tri-
bune confessed that it had lost an
other 5000 in circulation and the
Sun-Times admitted an additional
drop of $4,000 the union says. At
the same time, the Chicago Daily
News reported a whooping decline
of some $4,000. Old man Hearst's
Herald d-American didn't give out
any figures.
In an effort to halt slipping sales
the papers are resorting to all
kinds of trick hustling that simply
aren't working.
The ITU local, which struck the
Chicago papers in the late fall of
1947, reports that "$5O0,00O tele-
vision offer" by the Tribune has
fallen flat, and that the Daily
News is selling papers by main
tanning that there is no strike
against that paper. The union says
that the Tribune is alleged to be
using similar tricks in rural areas.
Of the Herald-American the
Typos claim that For all practical
purposes it is nothing but poorly
printed and scarcely readable
house organ promoting variety
of contests which the Hearst paper
has in the works"
Meanwhile, the union said that
in So trend cities car
ried 7,440,128 more lines of ad-
vertising in June 1949 than in June
1948. The only large cities east OF
the Rockies where newspaper ad-
vertising dropped off were Chicago
and Miami. ITU members are on
strike in both cities.

Republicans Pick
Arch Foe of Labor
As New Chairman

Washington, D. C. (ILNS). =
Guy George Gabrielson of New
Jersey, recently elected Republican
national chairman, is violently
anti-labor," the political arm of
the American Federation of Labor
charged, in criticizing his election.
Gabrielson's e e tio n, Labor's
League for Political Education said
in its weekly newspaper, the Lea
que Reporter, is a serious chal-
lenge to labor's policy of non-part-
isanship between the two major
parties. 1t pointed out Gabrielson
voted for Taft at the last Repub-
lican national convention and con-
tinued:
"He (Gabrielson) is violently
anti-labor. During last years cam
paign, he bought l million copies
of an illustrated leaflet called BE
fore and After the Taft-Hartley
Act and mailed them to New Jer-
sey working men. This leaflet was
a clever propaganda piece design
ed to convince working men that
the Taft Hartley Act was good for
them.
"Taft now has complete control
of the Republican party. Moreover,
at the recent convention of the
Young Republicans at Salt Lake
City, one of the chief orders of bus
mess was the adoption of a reso-
luton committing the Young Re-
publicans to oppose repeal Of the
Taft Hartley Act.
"All this means the Republican
party for the first time, as party,
is making the Taft-led drive to de-
stroy free labor unions major
party policy for the 1850 elections" "

ance it's election campaign acti
vities.
Joseph d. keenan,, LLPE dir
ector, said the league hoped to
raise at least $1,000,000 through
the voluntary contribution drive.
The action of the committee ap-
proved recommendations made by
political conference held in
Washington this summer at which
representatives from state and city
affiliates of the American Fedora
tion of Labor considered general
strategy to be followed by LLPE.
In other action, the council de-
cided to send delegate to London
for the meeting, on November %,
of the constitutional assembly of
the new international federation of
free trade unions. The delegation,
composed of 5 delegates and as
many alternates, was not named.
1t is expected that democratic,
free trade union centers from So
nations will send representatives
to the conference to complete the
organization of the new labor fed
4 GRAFTON to take the place of the
near-defunct, Soviet-d o m i n e d
World Federation of Trade Unions.
Commenting on the meeting,
AFL President William Green told
a press conference that formation
of the new free labor group will
be the "most effective barrier
against further Soviet aggression" I"
He said that free trade unions, or
ganized in a worldwide unit, could
foil the Russian strategy of ex-
tending its sway over smaller ma
tions by taking over the labor
movements within those countries.
Mr.. Green said that the new or
ganization would be open to all
national union centers which could
demonstrate that they were free
of government domination or in
reference.
In another development, the Ex-
ecutive Council voted to purchase
time on a national radio network
to present an AFL news program.
The program will be started next
year and will give AFL members
and the general public the oppor-
tunity to hear labor's views on
news events and current issues
presented by well-known commen-
tators. The program will be heard
5 nights a week. The AFL will
sponsor the program for 3 nights
weekly, with the remaining 2 per
iods offered by Labor's League for
Political Education.
Turning to the political front,
Mr.. Green told newsmen that
LLPE, in the 1850 election race
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1949-09-01

for Senate seats, would be shoot
ing mainly for Senator Robert A.
Taft of Ohio, who helped sire the
obnoxious Taft Hartley law. Other
chief targets would be Senators
Donnell of Missouri, Capeheart of
Indiana and Milliken of Colorado.
Mr.. Green announced that the
Executive Council was reasonably
satisfied" with the efforts made by
the Canadian Trades and Labor
Congress to clean the Communists
out of that organization. The coun-
Gil heard a report on this situation
presented by the anti-Communist
element within the TIC.

Middle Income
Homes Bill Has
Rough Sailing

Washington (LPA) - Middle-in
come housing bills moved ahead a
little in Congress last week, but
had rough going.
Tie House Banking Committee
voted to remove from the measure,
for later action, a section which
would have set up special agency
to encourage cooperative housing
projects.
Even the present committee
approved bill now is having a
tough time. 1t is in the hands of
the House Rules Committee, which
can bottle it up until after Labor
Day.
On the Senate side Of the Cap
itol, good middle-income housing
bill is waiting action. But it will
have to take its place after long
list Of appropriation bills, the min
imum wage bill, and lots Of other
"must" legislation. The Senate
logjam may mean no final passage
in this session of Congress.
Besides the coop section, the
homebuilders' lobby is violently
opposed to another part, which
would allow the federal govern
ment to make direct loans to vet
Grams to buy houses. Frank Cort-
right, executive vice-president Of
the Natl Association Of Home
Builders, has publicly threatened
that builders will simply stop
constructing homes for sale to vet
erans if the bill passes.

Washington (LPA) = Western
Europeans will get nearly two bill
lion more quarts of mix during the
current fiscal year than they die
in 194S-49, the Economic Coopera-
ton Administration announced last
week. The increase in dairy pro
duction there is a result of an in
creased feed output, larger imports
of grains and farm equipment, anG
more ECA funds for agricultural
development.
