Social Security
Payments Up To
S162 Proposed

Washington (LPA) - Monthly
pensions for a retired couple rang
ing from $50 to $162 month, de-
pending on earnings, are asked by
the CIO in spelling out its social
security proposals for this session
of Congress. The amounts would at
least double, and perhaps increase
even more, the amounts now being
paid in federal old age insurance
benefits.
The Social Security Committee,
meeting in Washington last week,
voted to propose the new scale of
benefits at hearings before the
Senate Finance Committee. The
House has already passed a bill in
creasing old age and survivors
benefits, and making other changes
in social security coverage and the
nature of the programs.
Here's how the proposed pension
is to be figured: benefits should be
based on the average monthly
wage in the income-earners' best
five consecutive years-with a
ceiling income of $4,000 a year on
which social security taxes would

ence of Catholic Charities, and
David L. Krooth, of the National
Housing Conference, who also sup
ported the administration legisla-
ton.
Reporting that FILA officials
throughout the country were ''un-
sympathetic" toward cooperative
housing, Monsignor O'Grady warn
ed th-t with the mentality of
FILA officials there is very little
hope for cooperative housing" so
the program should be put under
new agency.
Father O'Grady said he had
visited many housing projects now
being constructed under current
legislation and had found little
suitable for middle income families.
The homes they are building, he
said, are for families with incomes
above $4800 a year and 'they are
not making an effective contribu-
ton to the building of homes for
those in the $4,000 a year bracket" "
Krooth estimated that coopera-
tive housing under the proposed
legislation could cut 1856 a month
from the present cost of housing,
bringing it down within reach of
middle income families. The saw
ings would come, he said, from
lower financing costs and the saw
ings inherent in cooperative hous-
ing.
Another strong witness for the
administration bill was Rear Ad-
miral Thornton c. Miller, a Navy
chaplain, who presented a dramatic
story of how Navy enlisted men in
crowded southern California had
provided themselves with good
housing through a cooperative.
He stressed the effect of the CO.
operative effort on the men them
selves, asserting go per cent of
them had later become officers.

Springfield, Ill. (LPA)-The sus'

been upheld by John Marchiando
president of the Progressive Mine
Workers. The miner plans to heat
is new house with gas, although
me was warned by the local he was
violating union bylaws which he
himself had helped adopt. Waiche-
kauskas said he intended to use
gas because the fumes from the
coal stoker in his present home
make his adopted son, Edward, 81,

matte fever.
"Those miners in Collinsville
have the true miners spirit" said
Marchiando. "a man not only has

and his co-workers to protect his
own industry"

FldYs Foes Of Coop Bill
Before Senate Committee

Washington (LPA) - A biting
attack on the real estate lobby for
its opposition to the cooperative
housing bill was delivered to the
Senate Banking Committee by
Walter Reuther, chairman of the
CIO Housing Committee H S
charges that the real estate and
mortgage men were misleading the
public about the bill were seconded
by Senator'S John Sparkman Cd,
Ala.), Paul Douglas Cd, Ill., and
Russell Long Cd, La.).
Reuther, speaking as president
of the United Auto Workers, urged
that "the Senate and House act
very soon so that we can get on
with this job of providing decent
housing for every American fam
ily."
The real estate operators and
bankers, the Auto Workers head
charged, are interested only in fed
eral underwriting of BODYBUILDING
loans if the bill gives the builders
the right to mulct the people.
Otherwise, he said, they'll call fed
eral aid SOCIALISM," though actu-
ally assistance to cooperatives
would go a long way to prevent
state ownership.
To document his charges, he
brought in quotation from testi-
mony earlier in the week by Horace
Russell of the US Savings & Loan
League, charging that cooperative
housing was "pure socialism, that
the coop housing bill was "intend-
ed to mislead the American people,"
Last April, Reuther said, the same
men, appearing for the same or
ganization before the House Veter-
ans Committee, had supported $5
billion of direct federal loans to
so-called veterans housing cooper
atives-a measure sponsored by
the American Legion.

Press Ignores
Profit Story

Washington (LPA) - A spot
check by Labor Press Association
has disclosed that for the second
time in a single week, the nations
daily newspapers have censored OF
failed to report a major news story
from Washington of vital interest
to all American citizens.
The story was a sensational re-
port by the Federal Trade Com
mission disclosing that most of big
business is making a profit of 20
per cent, after all taxes, as COM
pared with about half that before
the war. The Federal Trade Com
mission report, one of the most
important profit stories to break
in Washington in many years, was
officially released for Thursday
papers and was available to all
newspapers.
A spot check by Labor Press As
sociation in key cities discloses
that most newspapers ignored the
story entirely. Whether the press
associations carried it, and it was
censored by the papers themselves,
or whether the press associations
also ignored the story, is not yet
disclosed.
The New York Times, which
theoretically publishes all the news
that is fit to print, carried the
sensational profit story on the fin

Poorest Families
To Suffer Most
If Rent Curb Ends

Washington (LPA) = It's fam
lilies who pay under $50 a month
for rent who will suffer most if
the federal rent control law is al
lowed to die June 80. That's the
conclusion from survey of six
big cities where federal rent con-
trolls were lifted in 1949 by action
of the city councils. The survey
was made by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics.
Housing Expediter Tighe Woods,
making the survey public Jan. 16,
said that "a favorite device used in
persuading city governing body
to pass a decontrol resolution is to
present a pledge from landlords
not TO increase rents unreasonably
when the lid is taken off" He
quoted a report from the Salt
Lake Tribune confirming the fact
that such a pledge had been exact
ed from landlords there-not to
raise rents more than 10 per cent
before Jan. /.
In Dallas, Tex, where 81 per
cent of the families renting homes
were affected, rents rose on the
average 35.4 per cent a month, but
three out of four tenants paying
under $50 had their rents boosted
an average of '55.8 per cent.
In Houston, Tex, decontrolled
only October 19, 81 per cent of the
tenants have already been hit, with
boosts averaging Alb per cent.
Here again, hardest hit were the

tries, three had profits between 15
and II per cent; six had 1915 pei
cent, which in 1910 would have
been near the top; and only two
had less than 10 per cent.
The only industries showing
lower returns in 194S than in 1910
were cigars and cigarettes, both OF
which have found it difficult to
raise their prices.
The trade commissions statistics
were based on reports from the
companies themselves, adjusted to
uncover hidden profits, of which
there were plenty. The Commission
reported that several companies
had adopted a policy within the
past two years Of accelerating de-
probation, which resulted in show
ing less profit in their published
statements than in their reports to
the Treasury.
The Commission studies covered
"a substantial segment of the total
industrial economy" including in
dustries that accounted for half of
the total assets of all manufactur-
ing industries, and so were repre-
sentative figures.
In a more detailed study, the
Commission found that in most in
dustries the four biggest COM
panies than others in the same in
dustry. This was not so true in
1910.
One of the most significant re-
in the trade commission
figures was the close parallel be-
tween the industries showing high
profits and the industries in which
control is concentrated in a few
companies. This tended to prove
that monopolistic conditions in in
dustry are resulting in extremely
high profits at the expense of the
consumers.

four biggest firms had higher pro-
fits in both 1910 and 1948 than

Lincoln Says Coop Can
Bredk Housing Bottleneck

Washington (LPA)-Murray D
Lincoln, president of the Cooper
ative League of the USA, told &
Senate committee that cooperative
housing under the Administrations
middle income housing bill coulo
"break the bottleneck" in housing
just as the Rural Electrificatior
Act broke the bottleneck in provid-
ing electricity to farms.
Strongly backing the middle in
come housing bill, Lincoln told the
enat e Banking Subcommittee
handling it that ''the extension of
the REA principle to housing is
the way to provide good, adequate
housing at reasonable cost to the
middle income families of Amer
ica."
Lincoln compared the housing
problem today with the problem
of getting electricity to farms back
in 1885 when only Is per cent of
the farmers had power. Then, he
said, opponents of the rural cleo
trification bill contended private
business could handle the problem,
and that the legislation would put
them out of business. Today, he
pointed out, more than so per cent
of the farmers have electricity, and
the old line power companies are
still doing business.
The present housing legislation
is similar to the REA, Lincoln said,
in offering cooperatives low inter-
est rates based on the cost of the
to the government. He
strongly urged the committee to
follow the other legislation in an
other respect and set up separ-
ate agency to handle the coopera-
tive housing program.
In this plea, Lincoln was joined
by the Rt. Rev. Msgr. John
O'Grady, of the National Confer

Labor And Civic
Groups Protest
Stores Attitude

Portland, Ore. IPA)-The man.
agement Of the Meier & Frank de-
partment store here stirred up a
city-wide hornets nest when they
tried to slap down the Portland
Oregonian, one of the Vests lead
ing newspapers.
Meier & Frank cancelled large
chunks of advertising after the
Oregonian published the news that
an NLRB trial examiner had issued
La decision against the store in an
unfair labor practice case brought
by the AFL Retail Clerks. The
Oregon Journal, a rival paper,
printed less revealing story and
lost no advertising.
When Meier & Franks apparent
pressure tactics became known,
the fur began to fly. The Portland
Central Labor Council-AFL passed
two strong resolutions protesting
the stores action "as an attack on
the free press that strikes at the
very root of democratic govern
ment and a free society,"" One re-
solution said, "No newspaper is
worthy of the classification as
such which suppresses news of in
terest to its community, particular
ly if such is done to favor an adj
vertiser, thereby attempting to
keep the public in ignorance" The
Oregonian was commended for it's
stand.
The Portland local of the Ameri-
can Newspaper Build condemned
Meier & Franks "use of economic
pressure" in equally strong langu-
age.
The Multnomah County Young
Democrats and Democratic Central
Committee commended the Oregon
ian for printing a story that might
bring reprisals from its largest
An official of the Re-
tail Clerks said that many labor,
church and civic groups were COM
planning of Meier & Franks action.
Aaron Frank, manager of the
store, insisted the advertising
space in the Oregonian was can
celed because cold and snow were
keeping shoppers home. However,
labor unions and others pointed
put that the firms advertising was
still being placed in the Journal.
They wondered whether Meier &
Frank considered Journal readers
a harder breed than the Oregonian
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1950-01-26

"Mr. Russell was for expending
five billion dollars for a phoney
kind of cooperative housing then,
Reuther asserted, "but he now op-
poses spending of less money, not
in direct loans but to underwrite
sound debentures, because this
time it is on a genuinely coopera-
tive basis that would give the peo-
pie the right to built their own
homes"
"He stood there naked and un-
ashamed" Reuther said of Russell's
appearance before the House Vet
Grams Committee, where he frankly
conceded that he supported the
Legion bill to block the public
housing bill later approved by Con
gress.
To show that the "pure social
ism" charges were a smokescreen,
Reuther pointed out that John d.
Rockefeller Jr. actively supported
the first coop housing project in
New York City, and that currently
a group of New York businessmen
and financiers is actively aiding
the Queens View housing coopera-
tive there. He listed, such "capit-
alists" as Bernard Gimbel (of the
department store of that name) !,
Beardsley Ruml of Macy's, and
David Sarnoff of Radio Corpora
tion of America.
Sparkman produced a giant
chart printed by the Natl Associa-
tion of Real Estate Boards show
ing how cooperative housing plans
could be organized, to demonstrate
that the realtors too at one point
seriously considered the plan as a
method Of blocking public low-rent
housing. Reuther added the story
of a conference, requested by Ex-
ecutive Vice-president Herbert U.
