ON UN To Handle
Sovief's MuIik

Detroit (LPA)-Eric Johnston
chief spokesman for the motion
picture industry, has plan to dea
with Jacob Malik, the Soviet
Unions representative on the Un-
tied Nations Security Council. Put
some American labor leaders across
the table from Malik, Johnston told
the annual convention of the Thea
trical Stage Employes-AFL Aug
16.
'Our labor leaders are used to
Jacob Maliks," Johnston declared
"They have had to deal with Am
erican-style Maliks for years, SO
they are up on all the Communist
techniques and how to overcome
them" The labor men have the
"know-how to Qnmask the Krem-
lin," Johnston said.
"We need more men in govern
ment and diplomacy with a labor
background and labor experience
because the battle-ground for the
world today is on the worker level,
Johnston concluded. Johnston was
once president of the US Chamber
of Commerce.

President Truman to seek a new
federal rent code, giving federal
officials the right to recontrol
areas where rents rise "unreason-
ably, and keep them recontrolled
