Unemployment Rights Continued By
Extension of SeIeetive Service Act

Secretary of Labor Maurice j.
Tobin announced today that in
ductees, enlistees and reservists
who leave jobs in private indus
try or with the Federal Govern
ment to perform active service
in the armed forces are eligible
for unemployment rights as a re-
suit of Public Laws 572 and 500,
81st Congress, which extend the
Selective Service Act of 1948
until July 8, 1851.
Secretary Tobin explained that
unemployment rights apply to
the person who enlists in the
armed forces prior to July g.,
1881, if it is his first enlistment
after June "a, 1948, and for a
period not more than three years
unless extended by law, and to
the reservist who enters upon
active duty between June "a,
1948, and July 8, 1851, if re-
leased within three years after
entering upon active duty or as
soon after the expiration of such
three years as he is able to OBJ
tain orders relieving him from
active duty.
"Of special interest to reserv-
lists is the fact that the Selective
Service Act of 1948, as amended,
extends unemployment rights to
persons who enter upon active
duty in the armed forces in re-
sponse to an order or call to
active duty" the Secretary said.

consent, a person going on ac-
tive duty does so in response to

The Bureau of Veterans Re-

partment of Labor has response

ment rights under Section 8 of
the Selective Service Act. Per-
sons seeking information about
such rights should address their

that even u n d er the Truman

this fact. But the record speaks
for itself.
The vote was on confirmation
of Sumner T. Pike of Maine as
a member of the Atomic Energy
Commission-the m p o a n t
commission charged with build
ing the atomic and hydrogen
bombs and developing the use
of atomic energy.
Pike served one three-year
term on the board. For period
of time he had been C It n 6
chairman of the commission. He
is a Republican. President Tru-
man reappointed him because OF
his splendid record.
Yet, the Republican forces in
the Senate, operating under the
direction of Taft as chairman of
the COP policy committee, op-
posed Pixies reappointment.
During committee hearings
on his reappointment, the Re-
publicans refused to say why
they were opposing Pike. They
were just against him, they said.
However, in the debate on the
Senate floor, the real reason was
revealed by the senators from
Colorado.
Pike, it seems, would not
fight to raise the price the gov
ernment pays for low-grade

ture of atomic bombs.
This 1ow-grade uranium is
plentiful in Colorado. The Big
Business uranium mine owners
wanted to charge the govern
ment higher price and thus
increase their profits. To this
Pike said "No."
And for that reason, Senator
Taft voted against his confirnna-
ton.
Fortunately, not all the sem
ators placed the mine owners
profits before the welfare of

with an atomic war.

Commission To

ING TON NPA) -
There was good news for the ma

Federal Power Commission an

waged against the Kerr natural
gas bill. This bill passed both
h uses of Congress, but was
vetoed by President Truman. 1t
was fig hi of the utilities
against the people, with billions
at stake, and the people won.
In 1947 the FPC announced
it would not police the independ-
ent gas producers, which meant
the producers could charge all
the traffic would bear. Commits
sioner L e a n d Olds objected,
charging the decision would cost
consumers millions of dollars.
He was outvoted, Subsequently,
when his nomination for a third
term on the FPC came up in the
Senate, he was rejected. T h e
ostensible reason was that he
had done some radical writing
in his early years. The real OBJ
lection was that he was watch
ing out consumers interests.
Shortly after the FPC 1947
decision, the U. S. Supr e m e
Court, in the Interstate Natural
Gas Case, ruled the FPC, if it
regulated any producers, had to
regulate the so-called independ-
ents as well. 1t was then that
Senators Kerr and Thomas of
Oklahoma introduced the Kerr
bill, designated to take S u C h
jurisdiction from the FPC.
1t was the Truman veto, the
FPC said, that caused their de-
cision to rescind tn cir 1947
order.
They do not plan "to inaugu-
rate a general investigation re-
specting existing rates charged
