housing co-ops, and up to $25,0OO,-
0OO could be loaned by the govern
ment to such co-ops to get their
plans drawn and to do other initial
development work. Under the Ives
Tobey plan, there would be no
corporation, an assistant FILA ad-
ministrator would merely be auth
orized to "studv" encouraging CO.
ops for two years, after which he
would report to Congress, and the
FILA could loan only $10,C00,0O0
for initial project development.
Also tied to the bill are provis-
ions for extending federal under
writing of home Improvement loans
and for private profit housing with
special incentives to builders of
homes Of adequate size for family
life at rentals below $50 and sale
price below $4,000. Quick action
is expected on the bill because pri-
vate builders are bringing heavy
pressure to get these sections,
which are basically extensions of
the present FLA operations.

C. Of G Doesn't
Want Liberal
Social Security

Washington (LPA) - In what
may be a reversal of policy, Chair
man A. d. Marshall of the US
Chamber of Commerce social Sc
curity committee told the Senate
Finance committee he approves OF
a "pay-as-y -you-go" method of fin
ancing the federal social security
program.
Unions, and most experts in the
field, opposed such an idea, which
they say might easily undermine
the financing of the system and
make it a political pawn of Con-
gresS.
Marshall made the proposal in
personal comment at the end of his
prepared testimony, indicating that
many of the members of the c of
c agree with him.
For the C of C, Marshall-who
is secretary of General Electric
Co.'s pension board-urged cover
age of all wage earners under old
age and survivors insurance, and
elimination within five years of all
federal payments to the states for
old age assistance. He wants low
er benefit rate than that proposed
in the House-approved bill, would
continue the weighing of the bene-
fit scale against workers earning
over $4,000, and opposes lump-sum
death benefits and any system of
total and permanent disability in
surance. He also called for delay
in the automatic increases in ta&
rate now scheduled under the pre-
sent law-increases that would al
low payment of higher benefits.

Lewis Returns
SfeeIworkers
S500,0O0 Check

Washington (LPA) - John l..
Lewis, head of the United Mine
Workers, has returned the "appre-
ciated gift" of $500,000 made re-
Gently by the United Steelworkers
to his union, because conditions
lid not permit the usage of this
money" AT the same time he off
cred "to negotiate mutual aid
pact" with the Steelworkers, and
possibly later with other unions.
Writing to Steelworkers' Pres
dent Philip Murray, Lewis said:
During recent months, each of
our great unions has been engaged
in major conflict with the most
powerful associated group Of fin
lncial interests in America. The
dea seems increasingly prevalent
n industrial and financial circles
hat our great industrial unions
should be attacked and crippled,
)ne by one. This idea should be
knocked in the head.
Omitted Mine Workers of AM
,rica offers to negotiate with the
United Steelworkers Of America a
mutual aid pact for common de-
Tense, wherein the assets Of both
organizations, or a stipulated part
hereof, would be made available,
ach to the other, under emergent
conditions. The potential advant-
ages to our respective memberships
Of such an arrangement are self
evident.
"If, after due consideration in
your own councils, your union
hould be impressed with the sug-
gestion and you will so advise us
the United Mine Workers Of Am.
erica will arrange for a committee
of its International Executiv,
Board to meet with an authorized
committee of your own union, fol
he purpose of negotiating the ar
lrangement. At the same time, oul
Joint committee could consider the
possible admission of certain other
unions that might wish to enjoy
the advantage Of such a protective
arrangement

Organized Labor Beats
Back Realty Lobby

Oakland, Calf. (LPA)-Organ-
lied labor here has beaten back an
attempt by the realty lobby to Sc
cure recall of three pro-labor alder
men who had voted for acceptance
of federal aid to build 1000 units
of low-cost housing in this area.
The lobby was backed by Oakland's
daily newspapers, and terrific
propaganda and advertising, cam
paign was conducted by the recall
sponsors.
When the votes were counted
Raymond E. Pease and Joseph Ed
ward Smith retained their seats by
comfortable margins. Scott Weak
ley trailed by hairline margin OF
three out of over $4,000 votes cast.
Labor forces sought a recount in
the Weakley contest, but even II
they fail another election will be
held and union leaders voiced con-
fidence Weakley would win in the
second test.

Voters Like Big
Govt, Harvard
Professor Soys

Washington (LPA) - Voter
agree we need a "big government
to relieve the business cycle-to
put floor under the basic necess-
tiles of life," Arthur NJ. Schlesing-
er, Jr., professor of history at Har-
ward, told the Washington League
of Women Voters March 3.
Schlesinger noted that percent
age wise the government actually
spent less on the general welfare
nowadays than it did 100 years ago.
He said that in 1890 the govern
ment allocated 20.9 per cent of fed
eral expenditure to public works
and internal improvements" com
pared to only l3 per cent in 1889.
This was an answer, he added, for
those who claim that spending
money for welfare leads to dis
aster.
Schlesinger participated in the
leagues forum on Our Growing
Government and Individual Free
dom" before an audience of GEO
women. Sitting with him on dis
cussion panel were Sen. Ralph
Flanders OR, Vt,) and Rep. Chase
Going Woodhouse Cd, Comm.
Schlesinger is the author of "Thc
Vital Center, a widely heralded
review of modern politics, and of
"Thc Age of Jackson, study of
Politics in Andrew Jackson's time.
He is now at work on "The Age of
Roosevelt"

DENVER POSTS UNFAIR
PRACTICES SMELLYTALE

Oscar Liden, the man who was to
be denoted. But spying wasn't all
he did.
At rump meeting of group of
Post Guildsmen, Ashe moved to
name unit committee to discuss
"a contract with Hoyt. The motion
not only was passed but Ashe
found himself on the committee.
This committee actually conferred
with Hoyt and on Feb. 10 reported
to a Guild meeting that all issues
could be adjusted. A motion by
Ashe to give up the idea of strike
was pushed through. Eventually a
contract was signed and Ashe was
off to Latin America. As Ruckel
puts it, the Post was represented
at both sides Of the bargaining
table"
In September 1913, Ashe was
asked to indulge in little more
surveillance" Accounts differ, but
trial examiner Ruckel believes that
Post authorities told Ashe to bring
| in a written statement of what
had happened in Guild meetings
the previous February and to in
clude the names of all employees
participating in strike agitation. BY
this time, Ashe was becoming un-
easy. As a result, he reported the
request to Liden and other Guilds
men, then told the Posts managing
editor he couldn't comply with thf
request. A few days later he made
a complete confession at a Guild
Injecting, and on October II, the
Guild filed charges against the
Post. 1t was on this attempted
"surveillance" in September on
(which Ruckel ruled. (Ashe said he
was acting for the Guild at all
times, but later on he tried to be
an intermediary in getting the un-
fair charges withdrawn.)
Guildsman Oscar Liden is a
union man Of another stripe. He
came to the Post in 1929 as re-
porter. He rose rapidly, becoming
successfully assistant state editor
state editor copy reader, assist
ant news editor and news editor
From 1887 on, he was a Guild
member and official.
In February 1947, a year after
Hoyt became publisher, Liden was
abruptly denoted to picture editor
with no loss Of pay. Then he was
shifted to job in which he com
bined a number of fairly important
but relatively unexciting tasks. In
February 1913, just before the de-
cision to hold a strike vote was
made by the Guild, Hoyt accused
Liden of being the author of union
literature Then his job was chang
ed again, this time to copy reader,
but his pay wasn't cut until July
1913, when he was relieved Of some
Of his duties. Throughout this time
there were no concrete complaints
about Liden's work. Meanwhile,
Ashe testified, the managing editor
said there were going to be a few
more Lidens around here" Trial
examiner Ruckel had no trouble
making up his mind, and ordering
Liden reinstated in his former job
or its equivalent and ordering the
Post to pay him what he had lost.
This is the story the publisher Of
the Denver Post wants aired before
the NLRB. You wouldn't think he'd
want to hear it again.

COP Compromise Would
Block Coop Housing

Washington LPA) - Growing
support in Congress for Repub-
lican compromise" that would eli
inmate from the middle-income
housing bill all effective encour-
agement of home building cooper
atives is endangering the labor
backed plan in House and Senate.
The Senate began debating the
middle-income housing bill March
10 and will vote March is. The
House will be debating and voting
at almost the same time.
A substitute for the coop sec
tions of the Administration bill IS
being pressed by Senators Charles
Tobey Or, NH) and Irving Ives
OR, N.Y., and is expected to have
the backing of enough southern
Democrats and reactionary Repub-
licans to seriously threaten the
/ a b r-supported Maybank-Spark
man bill.
Under the Ives-Tobey proposal
not single cent to underwrite CO
op construction is authorized. CO.
ops would have to go through the
Federal Housing Agency's regular
procedures for underwriting pri-
vate-profit builders mortgages.
The Maybank- -Sparkman proposal
would effect average savings Of
S26, making the average monthly
cost of a coop built dwelling $64,
in contrast with the average $50
charge for FHA-underwritten pri-
vate-profit dwellings now on the
market. But $14 of the monthly
savings would be lost if the Repub-
lican proposal passes. This is be
cause the Ives-Tobey proposal
would increase the interest rate on
federalIy-underwritten loans and
shorten the period over which they
could be paid back, costing the CO.
op members about Sl4 a month
more on the average unit.
However, labor spokesmen who
have examined the Tobey-lves
amendment agree that regardless
of its declaration of support of the
coop idea, it would not get a
single new coop started building
much-needed homes for middle-in-
come families. They are working
hard to block the proposal when it
comes to vote on March Is.
Sen. John Sparkman Cd, Ala.)
led off the debate in the Senate fol
the coop bilPs supporters, and
explained that the savings brough;
about by the lower interest rate
longer amortization period, anC
the savings in maintenance because
the owners will keep up their owr
property, makes a coop uniquely
suited to provide housing for fam
lilies in the $2800 to $4400 income
range. They now, he observed, are
too rich for low-rent public hous-
ing, and not rich enough to buy or
rent homes at $50 a month.
Sparkman's proposal would set
up federal mortgage corporation
for housing cooperatives, with ini-
tial money provided by the govern
ment, later to be replaced by coop
funds, to sell debentures to hous-
ing co-ops. The federal housing
agency would have a special sec
ton set up to give technical aid to
