from a book by Carl Malmberg,

former chief Investigator for the
US Senate subcommittee on health

''The medical societies were among
the most bitter opponents of work

Conferees Agree On EPT
Bill To Rdise S3.3 Billion

Washington IPA)-House and
Senate conferees compromised Dec.
22 on an excess profits bill which
would raise more than either cham
Der had provided, but which fell
far below what labor had called
for.
The compromise will raise an
estimated $3.3 billion a year. The
House version called for 50 billion,
and the Senate version for $3.2
billion. Both versions have been
condemned by labor as far too low,
and both measures have been as
sailed by labor as inadequate in
other respects.
The compromise measure raises
the normal corporation tax from 45
percent to AZ percent, which would
mean a tax Of II percent on earn
ings defined as excess profits. The
House version had called for a tax
of Is percent on excess profits,
and made no provision for raising
the regular corporate tax.
The House had set a ceiling Of
81 percent on total taxes, and the
Senate had set so percent. The
compromise was 62 percent.
However, the Senate had eased
many Of the House definitions Of
what constitutes excess profits. The
net result is that profits Of 85 per-
cent Of the best three of the four
years 1946-49 will be called normal,
and the rest will be excess.
The compromise sets an expira-
ton date of July /, 1853. The Sen
ate bill had set Jan. /, 1853, and
the House had set no termination
date.
The Senate promptly approved
the compromise, by voice vote,
without debate.
The House will not act or the
compromise measure until Jan. 1.

Liquid Savings
Drops Lowest
In 3rd Quarter

Washington (LPA)-Prices are
going up, taxes have gone up ano
are going up a lot more and the
people have virtually no money put
away. Worse, they're in hook up tc
their ears.
That is the gist of report by
the Securities and Exchange Com
mission on "Volume and Compost
tion of Individuals Saving, July
Sept. 1850" The report shows that
the public's liquid saving has melt
ed away to a nominal level.
The report shows that total liquic
saving of individuals in the thirC
quarter of 1850 was 500 million
In the same period in 1949 the fig
ure was $1.4 billion. That's drop
of $1.3 billion. Liquid saving il
1850 was less than one-fifth of
percent of income after taxes, com
pared with a rate of over 2 percent
in 1949 and 6 percent before the
war. Put another way, the rate OF
liquid saving before the war was
80 times that of this year, and in
1949 it was 10 times what it has
been in 1850.
The SEC defines liquid saving as
Saving in the form of currency
and bank deposits, equity in saw.
ings and loan associations, private
and government insurance and pen
sion reserves, securities, and re-
payment of mortgage debt anc
other consumer debt"
The SEC reported mortgage
debt of individuals increased SIS
billion in the third quarter of 1850
a new record rate. Other consum-
er debt also showed a substantial
increase, SIT billion"
Time and savings deposits de-
clined a record of $500 million ano
currency holdings decreased about
500 million. Whereas met security
holdings" Of individuals went ur
500 million in the third quarter OF
1949, they went down $500 million
in the third quarter of 1850. The
drop was most marked in holdings
of US government securities. The
folks are cashing in their bonds
and not buying new ones.

No Appeasement,'
SAYS AFL Review

Washington (LPA) - Moscow
has chosen the Far East for its
first vital decision in its war for
world conquest" says the AFL
Monthly Survey. "If We fail to
stand by the people who long to
preserve their freedom there, the
next step will be invasion of Eu-
rope and Of Japan.
eve cannot afford to yield fur
ther, either in negotiations or on
the battlefield, to communist de-
mands to control Korea and For
mosa, nor can we reward the seiz-
ure of power by the Soviet Chinese
with a membership in the United
Nations. Our government has
taken the position of no appease-
ment; therefore we should rally all
free nations to oppose admission of
Communist China before we use
the veto against their entry to pro-
tect basic UN principles of free
DOM"
Accordingly, says the Survey, we
must move swiftly. At home, free
institutions should be strengthened
by proper labor-management rep
resentation in defense industries"
and communist subversion and sab
otage must be guarded against. In
the world, the Voice of America
must carry our message of resist
ance to tyranny to offset Soviet
propaganda.
In addition, the Us must support
those fighting for freedom in both
Europe and the Far East, the AFL
publication declares. At the same
time, the military forces of the At
lantic Pact nations should be mo-
bilized with the Germans partici-
pating and the Schuman Plan for
steel should be put into effect to
speed European unity.
Samuel Gompers, first president
and founder of the AFL, is quoted
as having said: "Only people who
are willing to maintain their rights
and defend their freedom are
worthy of those privileges" That's
why the US must be "clear and
strong in moral issues" inside the.
United Nations, the Survey says.
SO far as the Far East is con-
cerned, the Survey thinks the COM
have seized power in China
but haven't subjugated the Chinese
people. 1t believes that anti-com-
munist Chinese are eager to throw
out the Moscow agents who con-
troll only the Red Chinese Army,
the highways, transportation and al
few cities" In addition, there will
be thousands of desertions from theI
Red Chinese Army if the West
stands solidly behind anti-commun-I
ist forces, the monthly magazinel
concludes.

AFL Certain To Pledge No
Strikes II President Asks

Washington, ID. G. (ILNS). r
The A American Federation Of
Labor's 100000 members will
forego strikes during the national
emergency if President Truman
asks them to, AFL President Will
lam Green pledged on the fedora
tion's weekly radio program.
Green declared he was certain
AFL members would "respond
fully" to a presidential request for
no strikes and pointed out that he
gave a no-strike pledge during
World War II, as did Philip Muir
ray, president Of the Congress Of

Lewis, president Of the United
Mine Workers, was the only labor
leader to refrain.
Urges Wage Parity
The AFL chief said that labor is
"ready to go more than half way"
in joining with management and
farmers in programs to increase
defense production. But he added
that before any wage stabilization
program is put into effect, labor
wants pay brought into parity with
prices. He admitted, however, that
"some form" Of wage stabilization
may be inevitable.
He noted that the AFL, CIO,

Cables Support To Acheson
Trumun Bucks Secretary

Washington (LPA)-In a cable
to Dean Acheson, Dee. 10, Pres
\ident Philip Murray expressed his
Organizations full support Of the
embattled Secretary of State.
Acheson received the cable in
Brussels, Belgium, where he was
engaged in negotiating the estab-
lishment of a North Atlantic Pact
army to be commanded by General
Dwight Eisenhower.
"We deplore the irresponsible and
unsubstantiated attacks upon you
at this time while you are engaged
in representing our nation in these
important negotiations" Murray
said. owe are confident that you
will do all in your power to bring
the Brussels meeting of the North
Atlantic Council to a successful
conclusion"
On the eve of Acheson's depar-
ture for Brussels, Republicans in
House and Senate passed party
resolutions urging the Secretary's
custer on the ground that he'd lost
the nations confidence. Stories
from Europe Immediately indicated
that Acheson's bargaining position
had been undermined by the COP
action. Acheson has been under fire
for nearly a year from COP Sen
ator Joe Mccarthy of Wisconsin
William Knowland of California
William Jenner Of Indiana and
others. They have charged him and
General Marshall with appeasing
the Communists in the Far East
They have also accused Acheson
of harboring Communists in gov
eminent and of virtually being a
Communist himself.
Acheson's admirers have count
cred strongly by pointing out that
he was the chief author of the
Marshall Plan to forestall Com
munism in Europe, a constant foe
of Communism in Asia and invent
or of a maneuver by which the
Russians were outflanked recently
in the United Nations.
After the Congressional Repub-
licans with a few dissenting
voices) demanded Acheson's dis
missal, his friends at home began
to speak up loudly in his behalf
Loudest voice of all was that of
President Truman. Said the Chief
Executive at his Dec. 10 press con-
ference:
"There have been new attacks

HEAD OF AUTO WORKERS OFFERS S
PLAN FOR STABILIZING WAGES

Washington (LPA) - The gov
ernment has been offered a for
mula for stabilizing wages during
the emergency without lowering
the standard Of the American wage
Garner.
President Walter P. Reuther, of
the Auto Workers, appearing be-
fore the Wage Sterilization Board
suggested that the Board accept
the pattern established in current
auto contracts. The pacts provide
cost-of-living raises whenever
prices go up, as well as annual
Improvement" raise, to give work
ers some of the gravy from higher
productivity.
Reuther declared about a third
of the nations production workers
are already covered by such agree
ments, and declared that the dis
puted provisions "both are essent-
ial tools with which we can achieve
economic stability and maximum
defense and essential civilian pro-
duction."
They would not be inflationary,
he said, because defective price
controls will make cost of living
wage increases unnecessary" and
the higher productivity, "on which
the annual base rate increases are
promised, itself provides the means
for meeting such increases without
raising prices"
To, tamper with the auto con-
tracts, he said, would make the
wage board "a party to disastrous
unstabilizing of wages in the one
great sector of the American in
dustrial economy in which wages
have been successfully stabilized
for five years to come" Aircraft

Lubor's Political
Future
CFrom AFL Auto Worker)


Never has the American Fedora
tion Of Labor given more thought
and effort to a political project
than it did in mobilizing it's mem
lbers for the 1850 elections. Never
before have all sections of the
labor movement-the AFL, the
CIO, the Machinists, the Railway
Brotherhoods, and the Independents
worked together so closely and in
such harmony. Never have labor
unions held such high hopes that a
venture would be crowned with
success.
In light Of these facts, what hap
pened?
After many hours Of discussion
and thorough study of the election
returns it must be clear to every
one that the major factor in the
disappointing outcome was that we
did not persuade enough members
Of the labor movement to register
and vote 1t is as direct and as
simple an explanation as that. The
rank and file members of our
unions did not consider their true
interests, politically, to be what
their leaders said that they were,
and which we should all now be
convinced really are.
Surely we cannot be wrong in
our position that labor should elect
its friends and defeat its enemies.
Evidently, we did not work hard
enough-despite our increased ac-
tivity this year over other years.
We did not work hard enough in
our political education job and,
more important, at our organiza-
tional job.
Consequently, the international
union is recommending that all
sections of the United Automobile
Workers of America, AFL, call
conferences early in January for
every steward and executive board
member of every local. We recon-
mend that the one item on the
agenda be a consideration of the
mechanics necessary to establish a
union member as captain Of every
city precinct or comparable poll
teal unit in rural districts.
Simple directives should be given
to these precinct workers to help
them in getting acquainted with
the families in their district. OBJ
viously, one of the points of in
formation which should be card
catalogued as soon as possible by
each precinct leader, is the poll
tical preference Of every member
of each family.
For the present, the openly anti
labor citizens can be forgotten; we
will have a large enough job for
the next two years just getting
better acquainted with the pro-
labor citizens as we'll as the inde-
pendent and undecided voters.
These regional conferences must
set up machinery to check quarter
ly or more frequently, activities of
these political stewards. If they
fail to function, they must be re-
placed, just as the plant steward
who does not do his job we'll is re-
placed.
Most important, these leaders in
a relatively new field for labor
must be given the prestige, honor,
and cooperation of local union
president or chief shop steward.
If we do this, organized labor
can win in 1852.

SHOP POLL AT BETHLEHEM

Workers at eight Bethlehem yards

to one. The ship workers are now
negotiating for a wage raise, which
union officials say is necessary to
keep skilled workers from leaving

lots in favor of a union shop; 1043

WHAT NEXT?

A new wool spinning device,
which experts say may prove the
most revolutionary invention since
the mechanical spinning jenny, is
being tested at Bradford, England.
The device is expected to simplify
wool spinning and save time and
labor. No details have been made
public, but the invention is said to
eliminate 3 or A operations now
necessary in worsted spinning. 1t
is expected to cheaper production
costs and release for other work
labor now required in spinning op-
erations.

4 Boom In
Hardwood VeneerS

NEW YORK - (P) - A record
volume of 4,OOO,OOO,OOO square feet
of hardwood veneers is being pro-
duced this year to meet the ex-
panding demand for fancy ply
woods. The Veneer Association re-
ports that in addition to grain
figured veneers used for furniture,
radio and television cabinets, the
home building boom has developed
an unusual demand for veneer
paneling, flush type doors and
built-in cabinets.
Hardwood plywOod construction
of interior walls has received a big
boost in the popularity of ranch
type homes. Making larger panels
possible, veneers of this type are
being used widely for living-roOm
fireplace walls and colonial style
kitchen dining spaces as we'll as
for dens and Libraries.

In the Kingdom Of God, man has
first place. There are many in
stances when we are greatly dis
appointed with man. He is not
what the pattern represents. Mans
behavior often seems beastly, yet
man is not a beast. He seems to
lack something in his makeup, he
is not yet complete. How true this
is in many things. Something has
been left out. We are very much
convinced as to this need. The
Kingdom of God is a real part of
every mans life. What may we
expect Wupn LuLS ID OllAtJSu3 we
must see man from the viewpoint
of this whole, and when he is less
than this may expect much con-
trarily to the true pattern of mans
behavior. In fact it seems easy for
| the unredeemed man to call good
bad and bad good. We condemn
man only from this viewpoint, he
needs redemption, he needs fellow
ship with God, our Father, he needs
a foundation for his character and
behavior. We are interested in men
not so much as to what they now
are, but what they, by grace, car
become.
