Do you know that there are more
than $4,000 different kinds of flies?
That's a little terrifying, isn't it,
when we stop to think that flies are
carriers of some of our most deadly
diseases. OF course, we home
makers are not apt to find more
than five kinds about us-but these
pesky insects that come right into
our homes and carry dysentery and
diarrhea, have been known to carry
polio, typhoid, rabbit fever and
many other dreaded, sometimes IA
tai diseases.
Did you know that one single fly
can carry as many as 100000, 900
bacteria? That fact alone is
enough to make every one Of us on
the alert for the first fly in our
homes. know that it has made me
doubly cautious, for with small
children at home, simply can't
take chances on any diseases! That
fact, too, is why scientists in the
Black Flag laboratories have COM
bined the newest ingredients dis
covered by science with powerful
DOT to produce a really effective
weapon against the deadly house,
fly, new insect killing solution
that really works. It's sudden death
for all such insect pests as flies,
mosquitoes, moths, reaches, gnats,
silver6sh, spiders and the like.
We've been using this solution at
our home since it was first intro
duced and it's very effective. l like
the handy push-button spray tops
that make it very easy to use. This
summer, with the help Of this new
product, we've kept our house free
of flies and other insects. That's
very important to me, for it relieves
my worries of the children catching
one of the diseases that so often
prove fatal. It's such comfort to
know that Black Flag laboratories
have provided convenient anti-in-
sect weapons. Let's use them. We
just can't take chances. can we?

AFL Head Urges
,CenfroIs To Press
For Rent Control

Washington (LPA)-AFL Pres
ident William Green has sent a
letter to all central labor unions
urging pressure on Congress for
extension of rent control beyond
June 80, when the present law ex-
pires.
"If you want to prevent large
and widespread increases in rents"
wrote Green, II recommend that
you write or wire to your Con-
gressman, urging him in behalf of
the AFL membership in your COM
munity to vote for the extension of
rent control" He added: IF your
community would be directly af-
fected, it would be important to
let him know exactly what will
happen to rents in your area if
rent controls are removed"
Green declared the bill reported
out to the House HR 8276 does not
meet the AFL recommendations
"but represents a workable basis
for the continuance of rent con-
trolls where they are needed"

Joan Crawford To
Receive Free Hats

New York City ILNS).-Shock
ed at the news that Joan Crawford
has decided to buy no more hats so
that she can adopt her fifth child,
New York millinery workers union
chiefs announce that they will pay
for all of the actress hats for one
year and for the hats of her five
children too. Nathaniel Spector,
manager of the New York Milli-
merry Workers Joint Board of the
United Hatters, Cap and Millinery
Workers International Union, put
it this way:
Everybody can afford hats-the
most fashionable, the most up to
date hats; they are not expensive.
1t may be that Miss Crawford did
spend as much as $3.50 for a mink
trimmed fur hat. We are turning
out modern, stylish hats every day
that sell for SIS or less. Our indi-
vidually styled chapeaux are most
becoming to all women including
famous actresses like Joan Craw-
ford, and in order to guarantee that
Miss Crawford will have enough
money to adopt her fifth child, for
the next year our union will be
supplying free of charge to Miss
Crawford and her family all of
their headwear needs. Our union
members produce more than 95|
percent of all millinery manufac-
tured in the United States. Our|
skilled workers produce the finest
hats available anywhere in the|
world, and we are proud of our re-
cord of producing beautiful hats
at most reasonable prices"

Coffee Buying 20
Per Cent Less
But Prices Go Up

Washington (LPA) - The ma.
tons housewives bought 20 pei
cent less coffee in the first four
months of 1850 than in the same
period in l949, according to stats
tics gathered by the subcommittee
on utilization of farm crops, head
ed by Sen. Guy Gillette Cd, Iowa..
At the same time coffee prices
on the exchange in New York went
up on news from Brazil, chief pro-
ducer, that prices had been boosted
there. A bill has been introduced in
the Brazilian Congress to set a
floor on coffee prices and at the
same time to provide a higher fin
ancing rate for production of cof-
fee.
Testifying recently before the
Gillette committee, Angus Mackey,
major importer, declared there was
no coffee shortage, predicted a sur
plus in Brazil by June 80, and said
supplies in the coffee producing
countries had backed up because Of
consumer resistance here to high
prices.

Urges Restoration
Of PHA Cut

o Sen. Kenneth McKellar CD

Appropriations Committee, AFl
President William Green urged re
storation of the cuts in the Publi
Housing Administration appropria
tion voted by the House of Repre-
sentatives.
The AF'L leader pointed out tha
President Truman had requested
$13, ,000, 600 for PHA in fiscal 1851
but that the House Committee OF
Appropriations trimmed the figure
to $11, 100000. On the floor of ths
House, PHA funds were slashet
further to $8,750,000.
This final House figure was {
third less than the Truman recon
mendation and quarter less thar
the House committee proposed
Green said. at is my sincere opin
ion," he added, "that such a whole
sale cut represents not Legislative
judgement as to the amount needed
to carry on the necessary activities
of PHA, but an attempt to cripple
a vitality need program already
authorized by Congress"
Green told McKellar that "the
indiscriminate slash" was an at
tempt "to completely thwart the
will of Congress and the wishes OF
the American people" He urged
that the appropriation be restored
to at least the $11, 100000 Level
recommended by the House COM
mittee.
The AFL president reminded Nc
Kellar that the AFL was in the
forefront of the battle for low
rent public housing legislation as
the only way to meet the needs of
low-income families. He said the
Housing act of 1949, authorizing
the public housing program was a
great victory for both the~AFL and

then studies the distillery industry,
Pan American Always, Lever

all late in the summer.
The picture of the steel industry
pieced together at the hearings was
summarized by Prof. George Stig-
ler of Columbia University:
"The steel industry is no longer
a private industry. 1t must defend
every price increase in Congress-; it
must have a Presidential board in
labor disputes. 1t has recently been
threatened with both government

| and when. The attitude of leading
firms seems to be that it doesn't
matter what is done, provided it is
not done now.
"From the viewpoint of the maj
or officials of these companies
this view has merit. But from the
nations viewpoint it has none. II
the leading companies are trading
a few years of sporadic supervis-
ion for public regulation or owner
ship, they are making very bad
bargain with the nations interests
For the nations interest is in a
strong, independent system of pri-
vate enterprise"
Stigler proposed to the Congress
men that they amend the antitrust
laws so as to prevent new mergers
of competitive firms which would
create oligopolies. He also indicated
that the laws should make dissolu-
tion the normal method of eliminat-
ing restrictive practices in oligo-
polistic industries"
DR.. George Stocking, a veteran
student of how industry is organic
ed, who spent four years on study
of monopoly for the Twentieth Cen
tury Fund, and who now teaches
at Vanderbilt University, brought
in two proposed changes in the
antitrust laws. First, though, he
asked and answered four questions.
