and socially visioned head OF
great American labor
union and as a crusader for
economic, political and cul-
tural democracy"
The dinner was given by the
Reunion of Old Timers and the
Workers Defense League. The
award, a silver plaque, was pre-
sented by Mrs. Eleanor Roose-
Welt. Speakers included Secre-
tary of Labor Maurice Tobin;
Gov. Chester Bowles Of Con-
necticut; Sen. Herbert Lehman
ID. N.Y.; David Mcdonald,
Secretary Treasurer, U mite d
Steelworkers-CIO; VILLA m
White; and Rev. Donald Har-
rington, League chairman. Leon
Henderson presided. Among
those al the head table who we're
introduced were John Dewey,
the educator: Jacob Potofsky,
president, Amalgamated Cloth
ing Workers CIO; Norman
Thomas; and Roy and Victor
Reuther.
"One of the most encouraging
developments in the formation
of the International Confedera-
ton of Free Trade Unions, 4"
said Reuther, twas the complete
cooperation between the AFL
and CIO. If we can work togeth-
er in London on international
problems we can do so in Ameri-
ca on domestic problems. Ulti-
mately, and not to far down the
road, | hope we can achieve
unity here. We must unite on
the basic challenge that lies
ahead. That challenge, he said
was how to organize a society
of free men to get security with
out sacrificing political or eco
nomic freedom.
I'VE reject Communism" he
continued, "but we also reject
laissez- -faire Wall Street Cap
italism. We believe we can have
both freedom and economic Sc
curity. The choice does not have
to be made between Stain and
Standard Oil"
Declaring the ICFTU can't
become a potent weapon unless
we forge a program, he said
Eve can't fight something with
nothing We must translate an
ideal into specific action. Too
often we have been long on
words and short on action"
China, he said, was an exam
pie, not of Communism's sue
cess, but Of Democracy's failure
We failed TO see the fight foi
China had 10 be made IN tn6

Pointing to the gaps between

AFL Sees 5000. 900
Jobless In 1850

WASHINGTON (LPA) - The
American Federation of Labor
warns that unemployment is al
most certain to rise above the
five million mark in 1850, and
says that labor and management
must find a solution that will
not involve increased govern
ment spending, American work

1. Repeal Of the Taft-Hartley
law to enable unions to grow
and protect wage standards. Col
lective bargaining, it is said, has
boosted productivity and raised
the economic status of millions
of families. Few of the wage
earners "below $4,000" are trade
union members.
2. Enactment of a minimum
wage of 81 an hour, and strong
er state minimum, wage laws.
The new minimum wage of rs
cents an hour does not deflect
the increased productivity since
enactment of the wage-hour law.
State laws on the subject are
shocking. The 1915 law in Ar
kansas still prevails, for in
stance. 1t provides 1873 cents
an hour for experienced women,
or $276 year, and for inexperi-
enced help Ill cents an hour.
3. Maintenance of full en-
ployment. Otherwise decent
wage rates mean nothing. "We
cannot attack the problem OF
low income families without at
tacking the very problem of &C.
onomic stability"
In addition, the CIO asked
for health and housing legisla'
ton, federal aid to education,
fair employment practices legis-
lation, higher income tax ex-
emptions for loW-income fam
lilies, expanded social security,
and the Brannon farm program.
Testifying for the CIO, Hy-
man H. Bookbinder, economist
for the Amalgamated Clothing
Workers, emphasized the impor-
tance of unions and collective
bargaining in raising the STAN
dards of low-income families.
Productivity has risen in
American induStry-and it has
risen primarily in the last 20
years because employees, through

WASHINGTON CLPA) =
If you work in an industry
covered by the federal wage
hour act don't let your employ
er claim you're an executive,
professional or an administrator
unless he can prove it. If he
gets away with it he doesn't have
to pay you overtime.
The Labor Departments Wage
Hour Division has just issued
a new set of rules effective Jan.
Is by which your employer
and you-will know whether
you are a professional worker
or not. Don't let the boss pull
any wool over your eyes. Here
are the rules in a nutshell.
To be rated a professional
you must do work that requires
specialized intellectual knowled-
ge, or creative work demanding
artistic talents and imagination.
Moreover, you have to spend at
least 80 per cent of your normal
work week in professional work,
and you must receive at least
SIS a week in basic pay.
Your boss can't say you're an
executive unless you actually
manage the enterprise or a rec
ognized department of it. You
have to direct at least two en-
ployeS, and you have to have the
authority to hire and fire or the
power to recommend hiring and
firing. You also have to be in
position to recommend promo
tions even if you do not actually
have the power to grant them,
and you must be paid at least
$50 a week. And to be an ex-
ecutive you must devote 80 per
cent of your time to it.
The boss can't say you're an
administrative worker either un-
less you do work requiring dis
cretion and unless your job is
directly related to management
operations. You must be paid

insisted that industry must be
efficient enough to pay decent
wages and still remain COM
petitive," he said. ~
"As we obtained improve &L
ments in wages, moreover, we
provided the basis for a health
ier economy by keeping pur-
chasing power high enough to
sustain demands for the pro-
ducts of American industry"
Collective bargaining, Book
binder added, has not only help
ed union members, but has
raised the standards for mil
lions "of the most depressed
groups in the economy" He
cited the gains of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers as an
exemple. He said its efforts had
lifted 'half a million men and
women right out. of the sweat
shops" and had provided them
with security and dignity by
raising wages from as low as SAe
for so or 20 hours up to S1.5O
an hour.
He said it was 'fno coinciden-
ce" that wages in the cotton
garment industry, which was not
so we'll organized, were much
lower. Looking at the economy
as a whole, Bookbinder said
unions had put factory workers
ahead of retail workers. In 1882,
he said, the average industrial
worker earned only $3.50 a
week, while the average retail
worker got S20.71. Today the
industrial worker gets $54.14 a
week while the retail worker
gets only $39.83.
"Once again." Bookbinder
added, cit is no coincidence that
no more than about five per
cent of all retail workers are
organized in unions, whereas,
the bulk of all factory workeF
are organized"

JAW Reward
Offered On
Secret Plan
Continued from Page l

is submitted to law enforcement
agencies.
The $4,000 reward for infor-
nation leading to the arrest and
conviction of person or persons
responsible for the attempted
bombing is in addition to the
100000 reward in each of the
cases of the assaults on Walter
P. and Victor G.. Reuther.
Here is how the secret wfst-
ness" plan, as announced by the
UAW-CIO last June, works:
Any person who has informa-
ton he believes will contribute
to the solution to any or all of
the three crimes; and who, for
any reason, does not want to be
known, should type or print his
information on plain white
paper. He should give all the
facts he knoWs-names, places
and times stated as accurately as
possible. On the last page he
should type or print a number,
chosen at random, of not less
than six figures, such as 123456.
He should tear off corner OF
that same page-not in a
straight line, but in a jagged or
curved line. He should then
write the number in the same
way on the piece he has torn
off, and put that piece of paper
in safe place.
The information should then
be mailed, in a plain envelope,
to UAW-CIO, Post Office Box
1714, Detroit 81, Michigan.
If any such information thus
received makes the informant
eligible for reward money, the
UAW-CIO will make public
through the press and radio the
number printed on the letter
containing the information.
The person who used that
number should then take the
corner piece of paper he has
torn off to his lawyer or other
representative. The representa-
tive should then present the
torn piece of paper and if the
numbers correspond and the
torn edges fit, he will be given
the reward money in bills OF
small denomination which he
can then turn over to the in
formaht as arranged between
them. The UAW-CIO, at the
time it makes public the num-
Der used by the eligible inform
ant, will also make public the
person or agency to whom the
i n forms n is representative
should present the torn piece of
paper.
Thus, if the informant has
kept his own counsel, only one
person in the world - his own
representative - will know his
identity.
Whether any informant is
eligible for reward money will
be determined by an impartial

on perjury charges.
Perjury and bribery charges
against another officer, L. F. Rudy

quash perjury and bribery charges
against Sergt. E. v. Jackson, who
was ordered to trial November IA;
nor perjury counts against AS

Mr.. Horrall retired recently in
the midst of furor kicked up
by revelations that his vice squad
had dealings with Brenda Allen,

The court held Mr.. Horrall-
who was the only defense wit
ness-had not lied in telling the

Only Husband Should Father
Test Tube Babies, Pope Says
BY the A.soeiotsd Press

GASTEL GANDOLFO. Sept.
30.-The Roman Catholic Church
has put the stigma of immortality
on test-tube babies unless the
man and woman involved are
married.
Pope Plus XII last night told
delegates to the Fourth Interna-
tional Congress of Catholic Doc
tors that in the eyes of the church
artificial dissemination is permis-
sible only when necessary to
fulfill the work of nature'-the
fertilization of wife by her hus-
band.
"Only spouses have the right to
unite their flesh to generate a
new life." the Pope said. If the
active element (the sperm) has to
be taken from a man to fecundate
a woman. this constitutes a sin
against nature"
The Pontiff said the church
considered as illegitimate any
child produced by artificial in
semination If the donor Of the
male sperm is not married to the
child's mother.
