By ALyAINE HAMILTON

Washington (LPA) - The two
| top Democratic leaders of the Sen
ate have announced they intend to
propose two important liberalizing
amendments when the social secur-
lity bill reaches the Senate floor.
These amendments will meet the
most serious objections of organ
lied labor to the bill approved by
| the Senate Finance committee.
Sens. Scott Lucas Cd, pl.) and
Francis Myers Cd, Pa will ask the
Senate to enact program of per-
manent and total disability bene-
fits as contained in the House-ap-
proved version of the social secur-
| ity bill.
They also will seek to raise the
wage base above the $4,000 limit
voted by the Senate committee. BY
| this method, Lucas and Myers said,
Eve hope to correct what we re-
gard as the most serious weakness
| in the benefit formula established
| by the committee"
Before the Lucas-Myers ann
ouncement, the Senate Finance
committee, in addition to changes
previously made public, voted the
following changes:
Ito cover, under the old age
insurance program, more than SOO,-
loco farm workers-those who work
| for single employer at least 60
days in a quarter year, and who
earn at least $50 during that per-
| iod. 1t also stated its intention to
include sharecroppers, and might
cover as many as 100000 of them
when the bill is drafted. 1t will also
cover "borderline" agricultural
workers-in packing sheds, and in
some harvesting jabs, with the ex-
ception of workers on non-profit
canals, reservoirs or waterways.
2-To include under the old age
and survivors program on a COM
pulsory basis the employees of non
profit organizations; exception is
made for institutions owned and
operated by a religious denomina-
tion, which can cover its employees
if it wishes to. About 100000 work
ers for religious institutions, main
ly hospitals, could be covered.
3-About 10000 gen t-drivers
(foE bakeries, laundries, etc. will
be defined as "employes" and there
fore will be protected by social Sc
curity. This is a reversal of a pre-
vious committee decision.
In a sweeping action, the COM
mittee drastically slashed tn e
amount of federal funds which
could be paid to the states for use
in public assistance to the needy.
1t rejected the House-approved

provisions which provided for
higher share of federal funds to
the states, especially to low-assist-
ance states. The House bill pro-
posed to increase federal grants to
the states. The Senate proposal
would cut out $230,OO0,000 annual
ly.
However, the Senate committee
did vote to increase by $25, 100000
the funds for three federal-state
programs for mothers and children.

Such gains land there is every

strengthen the contention of this
column that labor, no less than

AFL Union Host
To Bob Hope Show
AT Label Exhibit

Philadelphia.-The AFL Chem
ical Workers Union arranged for
the Bob Hope show, sponsored by
Lever Brothers Co., which was
broadcast from the 5th AFL Union
Industries Show on May 8 over
National Broadcasting Company.
Free tickets to the big event
were distributed by the Chemical
Workers Union, which arranged
with Lever Brothers Co. to provide
the stellar entertainment.
Union President H. A.. Bradley
hailed the Hope show as dramatic
demonstration of union-manage-
ment cooperation.
"Ip no other country on the face
of the globe is it possible for work
ers and management to unite in
presenting such an outstanding
show" he stated
The AFL- Union Industries Show
opened May 6 and will continue
daily through May 13, with more
than a running mile-and-a-half of
exhibits, the majority of them ac-
tually demonstrating the produc-
ton of union-made goods and SER
vices. Nearly 1000 of the country's
leading firms and 100 unions were
represented in this example of CO.
operation Of enlightened manage
ment and progressive labor unions.
The u. S. defense forces arrang-
ed a huge display, featuring the
latest in modern weapons and
equipment. Cornell University's
School of Industrial and Labor Re-
lations assigned 3 members of the
faculty to explain techniques in
promoting industrial peace.

organiZational rivalry continued In
the field.
Mr.. Green also will report to the
Executive Council on the status of
negotiations for the reaffiliation of
the international Association of
Machinists with the AFL.
AS the 81st Congress enters the
homestretch of its final session, be-
fore adjourning for the coming
election campaign, the Council will
review the record carefully and de-
eide which issues to press for inn
mediate action in the next few
weeks.
1t is expected that the Council
viii stress the need for enacting an
improved Social Security program,
for favorable action on President
Truman's new unemployment COM
pensation proposals, for legislation
to renew rent controls for at least
one more year and for repeal Of
most excise taxes.
As matters now stand in Con-
gress, there is no hope for action to
repeal the Taft Hartley Act at this
session. While this remains the
Number l legislative objective of
the Federation, it's leaders look to
the congressional elections this fall
to produce the necessary new
stimulus to action.
In connection with the campaign,
the Executive Council will take up
recommendation by the Admins
trative Committee of Labor's Lea
que for Political Education for an
other voluntary assessment on af-
-filiated unions, at the rate Of 10
cents per member, to carry on the
strictly educational phase of the
leagues activities.
This educational fund is kept
completely separate from the lea
gue's political action funds, which
are derived solely by voluntary
contributions from AFL members
and not from union treasures.

will report on political develop
ments throughout the country at a
meeting of the leagues Admins

PAC Head Calls
Primaries Grim
Warning To People

Washington (LPA)-"The Tues
day primaries are a grim warning
to the American people," PAC Dir
ector Jack Kroll asserted May 3.
"We face an assault upon the whole
pattern of our society-upon un-
| employment compensation, old age
insurance, public housing, health
and education"
He warned unionists that, "un-
able to meet the issues, the reac-
tionaires in 1850 have sought to
dodge them under a smokescreen of
wild and irresponsible talk" Re-
ferring to the Mccarthy Brewster
Bridges attacks on the State De-
partment, Kroll asserted "they
have degraded the immunities of
the Senate to their ends"
"They are using race hatred and
class hatred, character assassina-
ton, forgery and falsehood-any-
thing and everything that will CON
fuse the issues and the people," and
they are using DUPONT money, man
ming the drive with XXX -ers, the
Black Legion, and "the hired pro-
pagandists of the profit-swollen
monopoles."
Tuesday was a hard lesson for
any who may have thought this
drive toward reaction could be
brushed off. This sinister conspir-
acy is plunging ahead. The men be-
hind it, Kroll warned, "hope to cap
ture our government and impose
upon our country a cruel and re-
dictionary program. The tactics we
have just seen in Florida will soon
be used in every state, in every
ward and precinct where a public
office is at stake"
The PAC leader called on union
members to "stand our ground and
carry forward the Fair Deal"

of the Council is also expected to
meet to consider progress reports
on the AFL-sponsored Frank Ed
wards radio show, which is broad
cast each week night over the Mu-
tual Broadcasting System. The
committee may also consider pro-
posals for the AFL to produce one
or more movies.
Developments in the AFL organ

the drive needs to be accelerated.

ChrysIer Strike
Ends In Complete
Victory For Union

Detroit (LPA) = The 100-day
strike of United Auto Workers
against the Chrysler Corporation
ended May 4. UAW President Wal
ter Reuther hailed the settlement
as Complete victory" for the
union.
Reuther said that pension, health
insurance, wage and other benefits
won by the $4,000 Chrysler work
ers added up to more than the 10
cent package sought by the union
when it struck Chrysler on Janu-
ary 25. Heart of the bitter dispute
was funded" pension program.
Chrysler had flatly refused to put
any money into guaranteed pen
sion fund.
Joint union-management admin
istration of the pension fund, bone
of contention during the final week
of intensive negotiations, was also
won by the JAW.
Wage increases of from 3 to 13
cents have been granted through
out the Chrysler chain, correcting
inequities which had existed be-
tween the Detroit plants and those
in other parts of the country. A $3l
increase in vacation pay was won
for workers with three to five
years service. Grievance machinery
was improved with the provision
that any steward may leave his
job at any time in order to handle
a grievance.
A health insurance program, pre-
viously paid for by the employees,
will now be half-financed by the
company. Under the improved fin
ancing, workers will receive weekly
sickness and accident payments of
$28 up to 26 weeks, and $4,000 life
insurance. Chrysler will contribute
$l.50 a month toward a hospital
medical program.
Seniority provisions We're inn
proved so that all promotions will
now be based strictly on seniority.
Previously an umpire had power
to decide whether each promotion
should be on seniority or some
other basis. The only concession by
the union was the acceptance of a
dues checkoff system instead of a
union shop. The amount of pen
sions to be paid follows the pattern
established in other UAW contracts
of 500 month for workers 65 or
over with % years. service. The
pension agreement runs for five
years, the balance of the contract
for three years, with two wage re-
openings.

workers expires May %. The union

Chaos Feared If
Rent Control
Ends On June 80

Washington (LPA) = Conditions
bordering on chaos if federal rent
controls end June 80 were predict
ed in their constituencies by the
Governor of Rhode Island and the
Mayor of st. Louis, when they pre-
|sented the opening testimony on
rent control extension to the House
Banking Committee.
Gov John Pastore of Rhode Is
land urged extension of federal
controls for another year, because
complete decontrol would wreak
havoc" Mayor Joseph M. Darst Of
st. Louis, who before he was elect
ed was an active member of local
real estate firm, said that if con-
trolls were lifted suddenly, it would
bring about "a situation that isn't
pleasant to contemplate"
Neither witness was very happy
over the bill being pushed by Bank
ing Committee Chairman Brent
Spence CD, Ky.) Spence's bill would
extend federal controls until the
end of 1850, and would continue
controls for anothtr six months in
cities that vote to keep them on.
They expressed preference for a
12-month extension of the present
law.
an. & teE
Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
urged continuation of federal
curbs, citing figures to show that
there is still a housing shortage
especially for the families in the
low and middle income brackets
who can't afford to buy homes. He
denied that rent controls contribute
to the shortage, since there are no
curbs on the rents that landlords
can charge on newly-constructed
units.
Though many areas have been
decontrolled in the past two years,
Woods pointed out that "on June
30, 1860 there will still be more
than 8 million rental units under
federal rent control. There will still
be about 3400 Incorporated cities,
towns and villages under federal
rent control in 40 states. There will
still be 62 cities with a 1910 popu
lation of more than 100000 under
federal rent control. Rent control
will therefore still be a national
problem after June 80, 1860.
"The continuation of rent con-
troll for another year will provide
an orderly transition to free
rental market and an orderly pro-
cess Of decontrol as each commun-
ity meets it's housing needs. AS the
President stated in his special mes
sage: In contrast to the hardships
and economic dislocations which
would follow a sudden and prema-
ture Termination of rent control,
we have the sound alternative of
a policy which protects
the tenant and at the same time is
fair to the landlord. The welfare of
our citizens as we'll as the stability
of our national economy require
that this policy be continued >"
Other witnesses will be heard be-
fore the committee this week, in
spokesman for veterans
and labor organizations. Later on,
the opponents of rent control will
also be heard.
Any quick action seems unlikely,
and it may be that no measure will
reach the floor of Senate or House
until June, only a matter of weeks
before the present law expires.
Many Congressman report only
very light mail from the voters on
rent control extension.
