A Sound Investment

What did l get for the last buck gave
to PAC?"
That's a question sometimes asked
PAC solicitors :. . and the answer can De
& found by simply looking at the record OF
INST the gains made here in Ohio
The Ohio Legislature has just gone
home During that time it drastically I'D
eralized the unemployment compensation
and the workmens compensation law ana
provided public housing in ONO, TO name
only the three most important pro-Laoor
bills that came up.
And the Legislature slapped 90 "h
every attempt to pass anti-Laoor laws
IS Isn't that a good return on dollar
sinvestment? And let's look at the dollars
and-cents side of the Legislative score.
The new unemployment compensation
law means that two-million Ohio workers
will be far better able to keep their taml-
lies when payless paydays roll around.
Maximum benefits have been raised
@.s4 week. Dependecy allowances can pro-
vide an additional $5 week.
Benefits will be paid for four extra
weeks and the waiting period has been
cut in half.
All of those changes in the law mean
money in the pockets of unemployed
workers and additional insurance Tor
every worker plagued by the fear of lay
noffs.
= Isn't that a good return on a dollar
Investment?
Take the workmen's compensation law.
The new law means that maximum bene-
fits will be increased $5 a week. 1t means
that total payments for temporary total
disability and permanent partial disability
cases have been increased.
1t means larger death benefits and
burial allowances. II means far greater
protection for workers exposed to silicosls
It means compensation for those who lose
their hearing in plant accidents.
And all of these changes also mean
money in the pockets of injured workers
and additional insurance for every worker
in Ohio shops and factories.
Isn't that good return on dollar
invetment?
And then there's the public housing
law.
The new law means that Ohio car
come out of the orphan class. Now 1t WY
ioin the other AZ states that permit public
housing For the first time in many years
federal housing projects can be built II
our state.
That means something will be don'
about the horrible shortage of houses tina
has forced families to live in shacks an'
shanties, In tar-paper hen coops an'
trailers. 1t will mean fewer slums, teWe
rats and less disease.
Isn't that a good return on a doila
investment?
Yes, PAC buck solicitors have a goo'
answer whenever they're asked, VIVA
did | get for the last buck gave to PAC
Their answer is, Brother, you 90
more for that buck than you did for an,
other buck you ever spent"
And you can get even more Tor IN
next buck you give to PAC.
q That's the one that's going to he'll
defeat Taft
Isn't that worth buck?

Organized Labor
Is Conservative
Bv RUTH TAYLOR

ORGANIZED Labor is con-.
~ seryative. When say
that to groups of employers
thev look at me with aston
lishment. to put it mildly.
They are so sure that labor
is radical and its tactics revo-
lutionary. But labor men nod
in agreement. They understand
Labor is conservative be-
cause it believes in conserva-
ton.
According to the dictionary,
conservation is "the act OF
keeping or protecting from
loss or injury" and conserva,
tive is tending to preserve.
Labor believes in construc-
ton, not in destruction. LABOR
believes in better relationships
between people, in a more
closely knit society-in COM
munity, nation or world.
Labor stands for the con-
servation of child life. 1t is
against the curse of child la
bor. 1t is for greatereducation-
al opportunities for all cniio-
rem Our free schools are a
monument to the conservatism
of Labor.
Labor stands for the con-
seryation of health. 1t IS tor
closer regulation of working
conditions. 1t is against sweat
cd labor and dread occupa-
tional diseases. 1t has lead
the fight against factory haz-
ards 1t has striven-and is
still striving-for better and
cheaper medical attention.
Labor stands for the con-
servation of family life. lthas
fought for shorter hours Oh
work that the family might
have more leisure time TO-
oether It has demanded bet
ter living conditions that eacn
generation might rise above
the one which preceded 1t.
Labor stands for the con-
servation of family life. 1t mas
for educational facilities that
all may learn. Through Its
workers educational program
il develops latent talents and
gives to its own ranks COM
prehensive knowledge of cur
rent problems.
Labor stands for the conser-
walton of the nation. 1t was
the first to fight the subver,
sive doctrines of the pas
thirty years and it has never
wavered in its faith and prac'
tical adherence to the ideals
of democracy. Labor's pledge
never to discriminate aga!ns
a fellow worker because o.
class, creed, or color, has beer
one of the most potent bul
warks against the divislv'
propaganda of those who des
troy our nation.
Labor stands for the con
servation of the spirit. 1t &C
knowledges its allegiance u
the one God and submits II
self to His guidance. Their
is no atheism i'll the Labo
movement.
Labor is conservative. "Liv
and help live" is its slogan

name next Feb. 8 "National

For eight months reaction
aries have met every Truman
proposal for the welfare OF

million a year. And who wall

some of the economy boys.
The next time somebody
biames a strike on those awful
labor unions, why not show
him what c. M. White-the
president of Republic, the
third largest steel company
thinks about it. Here's what
White says:
"We've got to fight the
thing out if labor and indus
try can't reach the right re-
suits. If they think we are
wrong they strike us, see?
That's the way this thing
should work. 1t is a hell of a
good way to work it,"
The Wall Street Journal
prints sad story of the
death" of small business"
Allied Oil Co.-claiming
that, with taxes and all, things
were just too tough. One of
the partners, w. w. Vande-
veer, says the government
really doesn't love small
business" a bit. 1t turns out,
then, that Allied does a $50
million gross every year.
Vanderveer probably called
Primo Camera a "scrappy
little fellow"
There's a happy ending,
though. 1t turns out Allied
isn't dead at all; it's just been
swapped to Ashland Oil &
Ref. Co. for a chunk of COM
mon and preferred stock, Van
deveer, through his tears, says
bravely that Allied's organiza-
ton will continue on sound
and growing basis, the cuSto-
mers will be served, en-
ployees will be treated with
dignity and fairness as be-
comes their abilities" Every

Israel Emigration Will
Finish i'm 2 Months

VIENNA, (JTA)-All displaced
Jews who desire to emmigrate to
Israel will be out of the Euro
pean DIP camps by next August
or September, Prof. William Hab-
er, retiring advisor on Jewish af-
fairs to the American military
command in Europe, declared here
recently. Haber, who is returning
to his post as Professor of Eco
nomics at University of Michigan,
spoke at a farewell luncheon in
his honor.
He asserted that after next Sep
tember the only Jewish DPS left
in the camps of Germany and Aus
tria will be those who desire to go
to countries other than Israel. He
revealed that although 1000 Jews
left Austria last December, there
are still some 10000 in the coun-
try, 70 percent of whom wish to
go to Israel. He estimated that
some $4,000 of $4,000 displaced
Jews still in German camps will
also go to Israel.
The Phoenix Jewish news., 1949-01-14

The campaign will run from
Feb. 6 through Feb. 20.
Leo LAMA, foreign correspond
ent and author, who recently
travelled to Europe for the Joint
Distribution Committee to witness
the exodus of Jewish DPS from
the camps to Israel and other
sanctuaries, will speak at the goal
setting rally. On the same program
will be Charles Brown, prominent
Los Angeles merchant and leader
in the United Jewish Appeal. He
will appear as official representa-
tive of UJA, after attending the
UJA conference this week at At
lantic City, N. j., to present to
Phoenix Jewry the quota set for
this city.
Prior to the rally, Brown and
LAMA will meet with local drive
leaders at the Westward Ho for
detailed analysis of the cam
paign.
Haganah Fighter Coming
A fighting Irishman who battled
shoulder to shoulder with the men
of Haganah in Israel will be the
featured speaker at the advance
gifts dinner. He is Hugh McDon-
aid, whose experiences in the
middle East included arrest and
incarceration on Cyprus, from
which he escaped to rejoin Hag-
anah.
The advance gifts dinner will be
attended by about 800 Phoenix
men in the higher brackets of CIV
ing.
Efforts are being made to bring
Comedian Eddie Cantor back to
Phoenix to speak at the kickoff
dinner, as he did last year. Cantor
helped to get the 1948 drive off

welfare. The goal was $252,5OO.

"The British Government is
now actively engaged in a smear
campaign against Israel and is

Egypt. Israel Agree
To Start Peace Talks

LAKE SUCCESS, (JTA)-
Egypt and Israel were scheduled
this week to start discussions on
the island Of Rhodes pointing
toward an armistice affecting all
fronts where their forces are en-
gagged.
The move was regarded here as
the most concrete step toward
peace that has been taken to date.
A. u. N. spokesman announced
that the agreement called for Sim
mediate direct negotiations" un-
der U.N. craftsmanship.
The agreement arose out of an
Egyptian bid for negotiations with
Israel, directed toward implement
ing two Security Council resolu-
tions adopted in Paris last No
vember a and 16, which have been
null and void thus far. The former
resolution called for a cease-fire
in the Negev and the withdrawal
of forces to the positions they oc-
cupied on October IA. The second
Council decision summoned the
two parties to negotiate an armis-
tice either directly or through a
United Nations intermediary.

NEW YORK, (JTA)-The Chi
cago Symphony Orchestra, which
was reported to have hired Will
helm Furtwaengler as its princi-
pal conductor for the 1949 season,
has cancelled it's plans following
protests by leading concert artists
and conductors who threatened to
boycott the orchestra if Furt-
waengler became its leader.
The musicians, who opposed
the German conductor because he
remained in Germany during the
Nazi regime and conducted major
German orchestras at whose con-
certs Hitler and other top Nazis
occasionally appeared, include
Vladimar Horowitz, Arthur Rubin

Under our. recommendations the
full rate of benefits will be paid to
those who retire during the first
two or three decades of operation
even though they pay only frac-
! tiOn of the cost of their benefits.
In a social insurance system, 1t
would be inequitable to ask either
employers or employees to finance
the entire cost of liabilities arising
primarily because the act had not
been passed earlier than it was.
Hence, it is desirable for the
Federal Government, as sponsor OF
the program, to assume at least
part of these accrued liabilities
based on the prior service of early
retirants. A government contribu-
tiOn would be- a recognition of the
interest of the nation as a whole in

Most Fires Caused
By Carelessness

Be Careful! One little thought
less act may take your home-even
your life!
Mrs. William N. Cam, vice presi-
dent for Home Safety of the Della
ware Safety Council says that three
out of four fires are caused by:
/. Matches and careless smok-
ing habits.
2. Faulty electrical wiring and
apparatus.
8. Heating and cooking stoves,
etc.
4. Kerosene and carelessness.
/. Careless discarding of lighted
matches and smoking materials was
responsible for nearly 80 per cent
of all fires from known causes over
a ten-year period.
One of ten fires of known causes
is of electrical origin. Circuits are
designed to carry certain loads.
The blowing of a fuse is a danger
signal that the circuit is overload
ed or defective.
OH6 Out VI every lOuA VI HNC III CO
is caused by faulty chimneys, fuesi
cooking or heating stoves, fur
naces, caTelessness with fireplaces
or hot ashes, or sparks on roofs
etc.
All heating plants should be al
least 1S inches away from any wal
or burnable material. Heaters, in
cluding soves, should be on insu'
lated metal, cement or other in
i combustible bases.
Clean chimneys every year, ant
repair promptly when cracks Of
loose mortar appear. Empty no
ashes into metal containers-neve
into wooden boxes.
One in ten fires is caused by in
cautious use of kerosene, gaso
line or other inf1ammable fluids
and by carelessness in handling
candles, open lights, lamps, opel
gas jets, touches, etc.
Using gasoline, benzine, napth
and other inflammable liquids i
the house for cleaning or simila
purposes causes many tragedie
each year.
