Safety Tips Given
For Electric Cords

There are two kinds of wiring in
every hOme-permanent and por-
table-according to Miss Louise R.
Whitcomb, home management spe-
ctalist for the Agricultural Extern
sion Service, University of Della
ware. The permanent wiring. Miss
Whitcomb states, is behind the
walls, and leads to outlets in the
walls, floor or ceiling. This per-
manent wiring has been installed
by qualified electricians in accord
ance with the National Electrical
Code for safety.
The portable wiring" saws Miss
Whitcomb, consists of flexible
cords which take the current from
the outlets into the lights and an
planes in the room. 1t is not nee
essary to use inspected and an
proved portable wiring as il is
with the permanent wiring. Re-
member, however, that these flex-
IDLE cords carry the same voltage
as permanent wiring, and with less
protection. The cords are bent
kinked, pulled, stepped on and
kicked around. So, it is up to Won
to make certain that the appliance
and separate flexible cords you buv
are of good quality. If they carry

8Ist Congress Disagreed
On Many Issues
continued from arsr PAGE,

Like so many of its predecessors,
the Eighty-first Congress may be
remembered as well for the things
it did not do as for its accomplish
ments. Congress left on the uufin-
ished calendar bills to admit Ha-
waii and Alaska to statehood, to
ban interstate shipment of slot ma
chimes, and possibly to extend the
Federal rent control program ex-
piring generally on Dec. 81 except
in areas electing to keep controls
longer. But the first item of BUSH
ness when the lame duck" session
starts Nov. .27 is excess profits
legislation.
The Eighty-first Congress con-
vened in January, 1949, with grow
ing hopes for domestic prosperity
and world peace. The Korean out
break startled members into swift
action to rebuild the nations mill
tary strength.
They quickly opened the way to

the draft law, gave President
Truman broad powers to cope with
war-born imitation and to control
the domestic economy, and poured
billions of new dollars into the ma
tional defense program and into
the program for helping anti
Communist nations militarily and
economically.
On the international requests.
Congress gave the President lust
about everything he pressed for. It
was a different story, though, on
domestic affairs, despite the fact
that his own party held a majority
in both chambers. He got nowhere.
for example, on his civil rights
program either House gave the
Presidents compulsory health in
surance plan consideration.
But he got through, of his
major domestic program, bills

state industry, adding about TO-

program. He did not do badly on
governmental reorganization plans.
OF the thirty-five he submitted to
Congress, twenty-seven were al
lowed to become operative. The
other eight were vetoed by Con-
gress.
This is what the Eighty-frst
Congress did, starting with its first
session, which began in January.
1949, and ended that same year:
1t continued the Marshall plan
for helping Europe; approved the
North Atlantic Treaty; voted mill
tary aid to Americas European
allies; started a big slum-clear-
ance and low-cost housing pro-
gram; extended the Reciprocal
Trade Agreements Act; changed
the 1947 armed forces unifcation
law to make it work better; in
creased minimum wages from 40
cents to IS cents an hour for per-
sons who work for companies
which do business across state
lines.
The second session of this
Eighty-first Congress, beginning in
January, 1850, and winding IN
now, did these things:
Improved and widened the Social
Security system to increase the
benefits and bring more people un-
der it's protection; authorized eco
nomic controls such as price and
wage controls (Which Mr.. Truman
asked for in 1949 but didn't get
when things were quiet because
OF the new defense program; and.
for the same reason, gave the gov
eminent power over production;
removed the limit on the size of
the armed forces; continued the
Marshall plan; killed almost all
Federal rent control, effective Jan.
l, 1851; began an interstate crime
investigation; widened the draft
law, to bring doctors and dentists
under it, up to the age of fifty, gave
veterans a number of benefits and
imposed severe curbs on Commu-
nists and front" groups.

put into full swing the newly
created Interpretation depart
ment. Today the interpreters,
heard through an elaborate mic
rophone system, attract consid-
erably more attention from U. N.
visitors than the delegates who
make the original speeches.
Mr.. Rabinovitch and his in
terpreters, who represent Is
different nationalities and among
whom are economists, lawyers
and artists are generally agreed
on several things they have
yearned from practicing their
trade. One is that U. N. oratory
in general rarely rises above
the mediocre, or even to the
level of the Old League of Ma
tons, and that the American
representatives are very much
among the dull ones, the Latin
Americans among the hardest
to follow, and that the French
spoken by the Haitians is about
the most beautiful the U. N.
hears.
Another is that no other Ian
guage can hold a candle to
English. It is at once the richest
tongue, the most flexible and the
most compact, they say. For an
interpreter, especially, it is near
perfect. On the one hand, its
vocabulary allows for every
nuance of expression and on the
other, its flexibility of syntax
makes translating into it con-

slant process of condensing,

Mr.. Rabinovitch doesn't have
to worry much about such prob
lens any more, though, since
he is now the boss and has little
opportunity for the practical end
of the profession. What worries

he got his Communist party men,

Sampler said, was secretary-treas-

made mistakes in the union meet

One day Sampler saw on
Thomas desk in the union head
quarters a telegram from the
Master Builders Association, signed
by Bill Nelson, chairman, stating
that it's negotiating committee
would not meet with Local "a on

ficers of the union signed the nom

Ter testified.
He had previously been through
fight to keep union officers from
signing such affidavits, Sampler
said, and he told Thomas that he
was not going through another
such fight "since the men wanted
increases in wages"
Sampler said he talked with
Howard Jenkins, a member of the

and Tom Buchanan, legislative di-
rector of the Civil Rights Con-

A COMMUNIST Calls Negro Leader Traitor
A Communist Leader In Organized
Labor Reeonverfed To Ameritanism.
Tells Un-American Activities
Committee Life Story

WASHINGTON, II. {. (NNPA)
Tom Sampler gave the House un-
American Activities Committee
last Tuesday a sketch of his life
from birth in a small Alabama
town to Communist leader in
organized labor and his reconver-
sion to Americanism.
Sampler, secretary-treasurer OF
the 3,OOO-member Building Labor
ers Local IA of the Hod Carriers,
Building and Common Laborers
Union, an American Federation of
labor affiliate, did not tell the
committee how much formal edu-
cation he has had. But it was ap-
parent from his testimony that
he had had very little.
Even his fellow Communists
called him stupid" because of his
inability to digest the Communist
party line.
Sampler rose to the president OF
the union, but orders came down
from William C. Taylor, who was
secretary of the Communist party
in the District of Columbia, that
he not be candidate for re-
election.
The Communists, Sampler testi-
fled, wanted Henry Thomas, "a
well-trained Communist fn leader
ship in the union" 1t was decided
by Taylor and the Communist
Trade Union Commission that he
should run for secretary-treasurer,
Sampler said.
Sampler was born in White
Plains, Alabama, May "a, 1919. He
has lived here since February,
1887. He was president of Local
IA from June, 1947, to June, 1948,
and has been secretary-treasurer
Of the union since September 1,
1913.
From the time he was 10 years
old until he was II, Sampler tes-
titled, he was a farmer in Virginia.
He worked as houseman for a
while and was in a Civilian Con-
servation Corps camp for two
years.
Sampler was inducted into the
Army Air Force in June, 1914,
and was discharged in late Decem-
Der, 1915, or early January, 1916.
He received his basic training in
Mississippi and served in a pro-
cessing center in Nebraska, and
at Pratt, Kansas.
First Socialist, Sampler en-
braced Communist and joined the
party in May, 1947. At the time,
he testified, he was the chairman
of the negotiating committee OF
/ the union but was removed. Mem
bers of the union, whom he sus-
pected of being Communists
"flocked' to his aid. That led to
his getting "closer and closer" to
Thomas and a friendship between
the two developed.
