Closing Time for
Outgoing Mail
Set TO $50 P. M.

Complaint has been made to
the Hardin postoffice by the
railway mail service pertaining
to letters mailed at the depot,
according to Acting Postmaster
Howard Wagner.
The railway service reports
that mailing of letters at the
depot is getting SO heavy the
clerk on Train Al does not
have time to work out his mail
before reaching the end of his
run.
To try to remedy this situa-
ton, the closing time for out
going first class mail will be
$50 p. m. instead of 5:45 p.
m, as it is at present, Wagner
has announced. 1t is believed
the later closing time for outgo-
ing mail will give everyone
ample time to get all mail to
the post office.
The change will take effect
Monday, May Is, the postmaster
announced.

and 1140 is an amalgamated local
comprising a number of small
shops. Both quit UE and went into
the International Union of Elec-
trical Workers. Their treasures
and their interest are estimated at
about $250,0O0.
UE fought the disaffiliation.
When the county district court rul-
ed for the locals, UE appealed. The
argument was that assets of the
locals should revert to UE under
provisions of the union constitu-
ton.
"UE exists by virtue of its men,
bership," ruled Justice Loring.
Hence it is an argument $50 de-
grees off course to say that locals
owe their existence to UE when
the truth is that UE owes its exist
ence to the locals"
The decision continued that "a
local labor union is a separate and
distinct voluntary association which
owes its creation and continued ex-
istence to the will of its members.
Where members of a local union
vote to disaffiliate from an inter
national union, such vote is suf-
ficient authorization for represent
atives of the local to institute suit
to accomplish such disaffiliation."

aspects of sight conservation. He
cited 6 ways to save sight: Regular
vision tests for children; special
help for children with eye trouble

care through use of correct hygiene
and proper light and proper pos
ture for reading; regular eye
check-up especially after 40, and

economic plans for the crisis a
prices shot forward. CIO particul
arly beat the drum for expanding
production capacity and setting vi
an overall agency to run the mo
biliZation program. Unions at th'
same time began reopening theil
contracts.
After haggling for six weeks
Congress finally passed the De
fense Production Act, providing
for home-front mobilization. Il
gave the President the power tC
control prices and wages, institute
rationing, allocate scarce materials
and to make loans to industry fol
expanding production. Truman /
signed the bill in September anc
said the government would try tC
curb initiation by clamping down or
credit buying. Labor called this
approach futile, and urged direct
price controls instead. The infla-
tion continued, and by mid October
the cost Of living had hit an all
time high.
In October, victory in Korea
seemed certain. But the defense
policy committee warned against
slowing down mobilization. "The
progress in Korea is encouraging
the committee reported, "but it
shouldn't deter us from continuing
with those overall tasks we have
set out to accomplish in order to
maintain peace and freedom in the
world"
AS the weeks rolled by, severe
shortages, particularly in steel,
pinched the economy. Even General
Motors President Charles Z. Will
son charged that the steel industry
didn't shave enough confidence in
the country to expand adequately"
The Commerce Department order
ed cutbacks on civilian use of alum
mum copper and other metals. The
unions objected that the cutbacks
were a meat-ax approach that
would lead to trouble.
Commerce Secretary C h ar e s
Sawyer admitted that the orders
were being given with little regard
to their effect on the total picture,
whether it be initiation or unem-
ployment. Thousands of workers
faced layoffs as a consequence.
All this time, profits were zoom-
ing to astronomical figures. Many
firms doubled and tripled earnings
of earlier years, and General
Motors headed toward the fantastic
figure of a billion for the year.
Administration demands for an
excess profits tax, pushed hard by
labor, were blocked at every turn:
At Christmas time, such tax still
hadn't been passed. The Senate
was about to vote on its own water
ed down version.
In Washington, new agencies
kept sprouting. Labor became in
concerned over the
sloppy handling of the mobilization
program. The AFL, CIO, Machin-
lists and Rail Unions formed an un-
official committee on defense mo-
On December IA, this
was made a permanent 14-man
body, to present a united front on
labor policy in regard to wages,
prices, manpower and production.
Only John l.. Lewis was not repre-
sented.
In late November, wage raisesl
were won for over a million work
ers in steel. At the same time steel
companies announced price boosts
averaging Sc per ton. Ford and
General Motors also raised prices,
refusing a government request tol
hold the price line. Pressure forI
controls mounted. Other auto MAX |
ers also raised prices.

with entry Of Chinese Communist
into the war, Truman went to Con
gress for $18 billion to expand tn
armed forces.
In mid-December, an overall
Defense Production Agency wa
established, with General Electric
Charles f. Wilson as the head. Tn
President declared the nation to b.
in a estate of emergency" and call
ed upon everyone to help in a vas
mobilization effort to stem Com
munism and keep the lamp of free
dom burning in every part of tn
world.
On this keynote the year ended
and 1851 began.
Congress In 1850
President Truman, in his State
of the Union message, expanded
the Fair Deal program in terms o.
the goal ahead. Most of the mea
sures he called for were not en-
acted by the Congress.
In March, the Senate engaged il
a tremendous brawl over bill that
would take control of natural gas
away from the federal government
raising the cost of gas to home con,
sumers by billions of dollars. But
President Truman, under labor
and liberal pressure braved the
powerful oil interests and vetoed
the bill.
In August, a Social Security bill
was finally passed increasing pay
ments and covering some farm and
home workers not included pre-
viously. The bill, however, contain
ed a BOBBY trap amendment allow
ing states to refuse jobless bene-
fits to workers who refuse to
scab. -
Many federal agencies took cuts
in their funds during the year,
after economy Senators had work
ed over the appropriations bill.
Only after terrific pressure from
the White House and from liberal
groups, was enough money furn-
ished to continue Marshall Plan
aid to Europe and provide a start
on a Point Four aid program for
other areas of the world.
CIVIL RIGHTS: Civil rights leg
islation was postponed to death, a
bad blow to American prestige
abroad. The proposal for a Fair
Employment Practices Commission
was squashed.
The movement to abolish dis
Jared better in the
courts. In June, the Supreme Court
barred segregation in railway dim
ers and in state universities. Pro-
greSs was also made in sports,
where the whites only" rule was
dropped by the American Bowling
Congress, and in the US Armed
forces.
HOUSING AND RENTS: Pos
sibly the worst defeat of the year
for the Administrator was that of
the Middle Income Housing bill, in
March. Unions had fought hard for
the measure, which would have
broken the housing bottleneck
cooperative building pro-
jects for families in the $2500 to
S4500 a year bracket.
Rent control took a beating I'M
the 81st Congress too. In June,
when controls were to expire, bill

to the end of the year and givingl
local communities the right to vote

After Thanksgiving, when Con-
gress reconvened, it passed a 90-|
day extension under pressure ofl
