Symington to Continue Planning.
AS head of the new Office of
Defense Mobilization, Mr.. Wilson
will take over the job of co-ordi-
mating the civilian mobilization
effort which Chairman w. Stuart
Symington of the National
Security Resources Board has
filled.
Mr.. Symington will remain head
planner of the civilian mobiliza-
ton effort, reporting to Mr.
Truman, the original function OF
the NSRB. 1t is expected that the
few operating functions which the
NSRB has carried on will 60 to
Mr.. Wilson's new agency. These
are chiefly the certification of ap-
plications by industry for tax
benefits and production loans to
step up defense production.
Mr.. Wilson will call the shots
for the control of raw materials,
now in several emergency q oepcies
in the Interior Department; for
the control of industrial produc-
ton and priorities, exercised by
the expanding National Produc-
ton Authority in the Commerce
Department; for the control of
manpower, now in the Labor De-
partment; for transportation, now
in the Interstate Commerce Com
mission, and for economic stabili-
cation.

Fourth, we will expand our
economy and keep it on an even
keel"
With the public and Congress
increasing their demands for
positive action on the wage-price
front to halt the inflationary
spiral, the President announced
that selective controls would be
invoked in the immediate future,
but he indicated at the same time
that a certain amount of de-
pendence is being placed on
voluntary action.
1.-THE Government is starting at
once to impose price controls on
a number of materials and prod
ucts," he said. These will be
mainly items important to de-
Tense production and the cost of
living"
In those f1eldS where price
control is imposed. the Govern
ment will also undertake to sta
billie wages, as the law requires.
GIN the immediate future a
series of control orders will be
announced by the Economic Sta
bilization Agency.
"ChiseIers" Are Warned.
"In addition. the agency will
announce fair standards for prices
and wages in those cases where
mandatory controls are not i'm
posed. I ask every one concerned
not to set prices and wages higher
than these standards will allow.
If these standards are violated 1t

Ever since Atlantic Pact imple-
mentation began American weap-
ons have been sent to, or
earmarked for, only a selected
few-the Western European ma
tions belonging to that organiza-
ton. Some equipment-to a value
of about $45 million-has been
rushed to Indo-China, where the
French are fighting an uphill
battle with little chance of sue

Will Ask New Policy.
The congressional group will ask
the Chief Executive to adopt-in
the face of the grave dangers to
this Nations security-the policy
of giving American support to all
countries which are willing and
ready to fight. It is essential that
priority be given countries which
already have troops under arms
but lack modern weapons to make
the competent armies.
Thus, there is a mounting feel
ing that since there are no further
reinforcements available for the
Far East, the Nationalist forces in
Formosa should be supplied i'm
mediately with the wherewithal to
join us against the Chinese Com
munists.
In Europe Yugoslavia and Spain
have a combined force of l mil
lion trained soldiers. The regimes
of both countries are not to our
taste. Yugoslavia is a Communist
dictatorship while Spain has
an anti-Communist dictatorship,
established around the person of
Generalissimo Francisco Franco.

This is going to mean increased

National Guardsmen. The Army
last night announced that it was
ordering up two more Guard divi-

The President promised a FIVE
fold increase in production of
warplanes-to a rate of about
$4,000 a year.
The new weapons - tanks,
planes, guns and radar equipment
will be part of the arsenal for
the defense Of freedom" he said.
1t was not clear how many
American planes, tanks and troops
would be sent to Europe after
establishment of the combined
defense force. There have been
reports, however, that at least
one division would be sent to
Germany this spring.
The latest announced total
strength of the Army was 1,021,-

100000 when the Korean war
started. Best estimates are that
there will be an increase of about
300, 900 by next summer.
Goals for the other services by
June 80 are: Air Force, 68 groups
with about $4,000 men; Navy
683 $40 and Marines, 166,150. The
Air Force, however, will keep on

Kilgore Proposes
Board To Set
Soft-CoaI Prices

Washington (LPA) = A bill tt
establish a Bituminous Coal Com
mission empowered to set minimum
prices at the mines was introduced
by Sen. Harley M. Kilgore Cd, w
Va.) April 10. Kilgore said sucf
regulatory measures are necessary
because the "coal market already
is breaking and the industry faces
a "riotous competitive price situa-
ton" unless Congress intervenes.
The commission envisioned by
the West Virginian would be com
posed of two representatives of coal
employers, two representatives OF
employees and a chairman repre-
senting the public. It's authority
would be limited to regulating
prices at the mines. 1t would have
no power over the prices charged
by coal dealers.
"There is a great excess Of po-
tential producing capacity over po-
tential consumer demand" Kill
gore declared, "and this unhealthy
situation, if permitted to continue
unchecked, might easily lead to
disastrous cut-throat practices in
the industry. Both labor and man.
|agement would suffer tremendous
ly under such conditions" He said
officials of many locals Of the Un-
tied Mine Workers and many lead
ing coal producers have urged the
Legislation. international officers
of the UNIV were not available for
comment.
The soft coal commission would
divide the country into % districts
under the Kilgore bill and district
boards would advise commission
headquarters on the condition of
the coal industry in their respec-
tive areas. In addition, a national
distributors board and a consum-
ers' counsel would also be named to
assist the commission. All prices
would be established with regard
for both costs and Goals competi-
tive position with other fuels.
Chief difference between the Xii,
gore bill and the old Guffey act of
the Iate 30's is in the provisions for
enforcement. Under the old mea-
sure enforcement was achieved
through membership in a code. I'M
der the Kilgore bill, violators who
sell below the fixed price would be
penalized three times the fixed
price. The commission would be
able to appeal to the federal courts.

Labor PRESSING
For Speed On
Aid To JobIeSS

Washington (LPA)-The heat is
being put on members of Congress
by both AFL and CIO to take rapid
action on President Truman's pro-
posals to improve coverage and
benefits of the state-federal unem-
lployment compensation programs.
AFL President William Green
wrote to the President on April TO-
congratulating him on the message
and reiterating the hope of his 81
0C0,000 members that "the oppor-
tunity to work afforded by full EN-
ployment will continue" He added
that "The states have not measur-
ed up to the opportunity of provid-
ing adequate protection against
unemployment, and with the mum
Der of unemployed now nearly s.
GOO, 900 it is necessary for the fed
cral government to assume leader
ship through the introduction of
federal minimum standards appli-
cable to the state laws. Your mess
age accurately appraised the points
at which improvement is needed
and offered practical solutions to
the problems.
"As president of the AFL |
wholeheartedly support your re-
quest that the Congress adopt these
Improvements during this session" "
CIO officials over the weekend
received an urgent appeal from
Legislative Director Nathan Cow
an "to swing every resource Of our
organization in an immediate all
out support of President Truman's
request to Congress for action now
on unemployment compensation"
Cowan pointed out that "despite
a recent seasonal upturn in en-
ployment, every index points to
serious unemployment continuing
and possibly increasing in the last
six months of 1850. Nearly 2,000,-
GOO workers exhausted their bene-
fit rights in 1949; millions more
will exhaust their benefit rights in
l950.'
Meanwhile, legislation to carry
out Truman's proposals has been
introduced in the House by Major
ity Leader John Mccormack Cd,
Mass.). The House Ways and
Means committee headed by Rep.
Robert Doughton CD, NC), to
which it has been referred, is still
working on general tax bill, and
it is expected it will take heavy
pressure before any action is taken
on the House side.

LEHMAN, EWING. MEANY BACK
WELFARE STATE AT CONCLAvE

New York (LPA) - The Com
munist concept that people cannot
have full stomachs and free minds
at the same time was denounced
as "the ultimate in reaction" by
Sen. Herbert H. Lehman (D-L, n
Y.) at the 45th anniversary lunch
con of the League for Industrial
Democracy here April 15.
Lehman, who said both Commun-
ists and reactionaries stood to gain
by convincing people that "free-
dom and security are incompatible, .
was cited by the LID "for his out
standing contributions to demo-
cratic progress" Other speakers
included Federal Security Admin
istrator Oscar R. Ewing, AFL Sec
ary-Treasurer George M n
and George Cranmore, assistant
regional director of the United
Auto Workers, who read a mess
age from UAW President Walter
Reuther.
Lehman, taking his theme from
the luncheon's announced subject,
Freedom and the Welfare State =
declared that nations cannot be
free if they are not secure. But,
he added, at seems equally logical
to me that individuals cannot be
free if they are beset by fear and
insecurity. To my mind the well
fare state is simply state in which
people are free to develop their
Individual capacities, to receive
just awards for their talents and to
Engage in the pursuit of happiness,
inburdened by fear of actual hung
,r, actual homelessness or opress-
on by reason of race, creed or
COLOR
Lehman described Ewing as "a
nan of courage, a man with what
we in this country call CUTS"
Ewing's presence and the tenor of
his speech gave new currency to
speculation that he would seek the
Democratic nomination for COVER
nor of New York this fall.
The FSA chief brought the
luncheon greetings from President
Truman and denounced the Repub-
lean slogan, Liberty VS.. Social
ism" as the cry of a "sick, very
sick party" Supporting the well
fare state in a free society, Ewing
aid: Socialism means nationaliza-
ion of production. Neither | nor
anyone else in President Truman's
administration has the remotest
1esire to nationalize anything"
Meany said the AFL was "firm
defender of our free enterprise
system" He cited figures indicat-
ng that American industry has
reached greater heights of pros
oerity under the New and Fair
Deals than ever before. Pushing
aside the Socialist label, Meany de-
,lared: ITO me labels-with the

has variety numbers. The choral
group is also ready for shows and
union meetings. The film depart
ment has movies and projectors as
well as operators; all the Local has
to do is to call Brother Herb Jack
son.
"You saw Local TIA perform
The union members love that act
and they are in demand all the
time. We have made arrangements
for table tennis, checkers, chess,
and games Of all sorts. OF course
we have cards for those who want
them. We have contacted the
neighborhood theaters, with good
results. One group of three theaters
gives strikers tickets for 25c and
all children Free"
Olga Madar went on to tell me
about the various community agen-
cies ready to help in strike recrea-
ton. This is an eye-opener to an
old timer. In the old days not only
was recreation improvised, but it
never occurred to either the union
or the authorities that community
facilities could be used for strik-
ing workers. Now the community
facilities available make a varied
and imposing list.
1t is no surprise to one who has
followed the Business and Indus
trial section of the YWCA that
they should be the first to volun-
teer help. The YWCA has been of
use to union members in strike
time all over the country for many
years.
"They have worked with US be-
FORE" Olga Madar says, sin var
ious activities. The YWCA meets
with girls in the Locals to find out
what they like to do. Our purposes
are first fun, second, to get the
girls to participate socially, and
third, to get them interested in So
cial issues" In the strike the
YWCA offers leadership when re-
quested, plans activities for wo-
mems groups, gets leadership for
and helps get recreational
equipment. The YWCA has six
branch offices which may be con-
tacted for leadership. They also
have list of entertainment groups
who will donate their service to the
locals.
Among other agencies are the
Franklin Settlement House, which
makes its bowling alley available
free until 3 p. m. as does the Tau
Beta House. The Sophie Wright
Settlement House game room is
available for strikers. The Depart
ment of Parks and Recreation has
provided ping pong balls and chess
and checkers. The Boxing Club will
put on four or five no-decisiofi
matches at local unions.
Most important is the Dodge
Community Center, which actually
has strike kitchen, also a small
gym and club room and library
open to the strikers. The Dodge
Community Center is open to any
one in the community.
