souls and minds of millions of
working people in scores of coun-
tries. Moscow could not possibly
impose totalitarian communism on
the rest of the world without first
getting a stranglehold on the re-
manning free labor organizations.
"That would entail the destruc-
tion of the ICFTU, now the head
and heart of international demo-
cratic labor. The new international
fully realizes the seriousness of the
threat. The battle is all the more
difficult because the WFTU is per-
mitted full freedom to operate
against free trade unions in demo-
cratic lands, while the road is
heavily barred to the ICFTU in all
iron curtain countries"
Administered by the Economic
Cooperation Administration, the
Marshall plan has been Of parti-
cular value for Belgium. In normal
times, Belgium produces enough
manufactured products and food
for export to pay for its imports.
At the end of the war, there were
no buyers able to take Belgium's
products. The Marshall Plan and
ECA have helped Belgium by un-
freezing this trade block and en-
abling other countries to buy Bel
gian products. CASTOR Eykens,
prime minister, recently said:
altogether, Marshall Plan aid
has created jobs for 100000 Bel
gian workers - 100000 workers
whose production it has been pos
sible to direct toward the recovery
of Belgium and of Europe. In the
present difficult period, this help
means the salvation Of Belgium"
The working men of Belgium en-
Joy many advantages. Their right
to organize is guaranteed by the
constitution; and legislation pro-
vides old age pensions and unem-
ployment compensation. There are
guaranteed minimum wages for
specific work; the work day is 8
hours, the work week AZ. Belgian
workers enjoy an annual six-day
vacation at double pay, plus 10
paid holidays each year; longer
vacations are mandatory for work
ers under Il years of age, and en-
ployment of children under IA years
is outlawed.
The Belgian worker does not take
his gains lightly. Listen to Paul
Finet:
g. The choice Of Brussels as
the permanent home of ICFTU in
dicates that the free world pays tri-
butte to the serious character of the
trade union movement in Belgium" :"

conferees Agree
On SIS Million
For Point Four

Washington (LPA)--House and
Senate conferees have finally
agreed on $35 million for Point
Four, the Truman program to aid
underdeveloped areas. This was SO
million more than in the House bill,
and SO million less than in the
Senate bill. In all, the conferees
agreed on 1921 100000 for for
eign aid.
The price of compromise on Point
Four was an elaborate provision
protecting A m eri c n investors
abroad. The Senate had stricken
the language from its bill, but the
House insisted on the guarantees.
The compromise bill provides $2,-
$50, 100000 for the third year of
the Marshall Plan in Europe, and
500 million for economic recovery
in Korea. Other sums were: $94
million for economic help in For
mosa and "the general area of
China; S27,450,0O0 for relief of
Arab refugees; Sl5 million Tor IN

President Truman either as a con-
tribution to the United Nations or
to the International Children's En-
ergency Fund.

for famine relief and Sc million to

Social Security
Bill Finally 0k'd
By Senate Group

Washington (LPA) = The Sen
ate's version of modernized social
security bill has finally been ap-
proved by the Senate Finance com
mittee, and Chairman Walter
George Cd, Ga.) has indicated he
intends to try to start floor debate
on it by the end of May. This is the
only important piece of Fair Deal
domestic legislation that is likely
to be approved by Congress before
it quits some time this summer.
The Senate version is in some re-
spects an improvement over the bill
already approved by the House. Old
age benefits are higher, and COW
erage is extended to some workers
whom the House excluded.
However, the methods of fin
ancing are exactly those proposed
by the insurance company lobby
lists, and endorsed heartily by the
Republican members of the COM
mittee. All members of the COM
mittee, including such tories as
Sen. Harry Byrd Cd, Va.), Robert
Taft Or, Ohio), Hugh Butler Or,
Nebr.) and Edward Martin OR, Pa.)
voted to approve the report.
On two points, the two most lib
eral Senators on the committee
Scott Lucas Cd, Ill., and Francis
Myers Cd, Pa. a.)-plan to file a sup
Elementary report. They've also al
ready indicated they will try to
improve the bill on the floor of the
Senate.
First, they will try to restore the
program of insurance benefits for
workers permanently and totally
disabled, which was approved by
the House, but knocked out by the
Senate committee.
Second, they'll attempt to raise
the amount of wages on which pay
roll taxes, and benefits, are cal
culated. The House raised this from
the present $1,000 to $4,000. The
Senate committee cut that back to
$4,000. This means that workers
who earn more than 5000 a year
won't pay taxes after the first
$4,000. 1t also means that their
wages above $4,000 won't be used
in calculating the amount of insur-
ance benefits they can collect when
they retire. President Truman had
asked for a $4,000 wage base.

Railroad Strike
Leaders n ave
Clear Conscience

Chicago (LPA) - Laying the
blame for the strike on southern
and western rail lines on the -four
companies involved, President d
b. Robertson of the Locomotive
Firemen. q Enginemen told news
conference May 10 that the Media
ton Board had offered arbitration
of the dispute over second firemer
on diesel engines; that the unior
had accepted but the companies re
fused.
The union maintains two firemer
are needed on multi-diesels; the
operators charge this is Feather
bedding" and cite recommendation
of two fact-finding boards. Robert
son said that despite this claim
these same railroads now have
about 5000 special duty men" tend
ing motors on the diesels.
"This is work covered by oul
contract with the railroads." tn,
union chief declared. "Now tht
railroads are violating their con
tract with the firemens union
They are having this work per
formed by supervisors and official.
and they are attempting to cove
up their contract violations by tell
ing the public there is no work tt
be done in the diesel motor rooms.
This is the question the uniol
wanted arbitrated. "If the publ,
must suffer inconvenience the Bro
therhood is deeply sorry Robert
son said. "But let there be no doub
about this: the Brotherhood's con
science is clear.
During the 36 hours Of amos
continuous federal mediation tn,
Brotherhood made major concess
ions in an effort to obtain a peace

railroads, however, offered practic
ally nothing In the way of a settle
ment."
On the Santa Fe and Southern
lines and the Pennsylvania line,
west of Harrisburg and New Yorl
Central west of Buffalo $4,000 fire
men walked out May 10. On MAY
IL the strike was solid and Santa

II AM AN AMERICAN"
By RUTH TAYLOR

On May 21st, by virtue of pro-
clamation of the President of the
United States, we celebrated 81 An
An American" Day.
To those young men and women
who for the first time take on the
full obligations of citizenship in a
democracy it is a day of solemn
implication. For those mature men
and women who have foresworn
their allegiance to the old, to give
their full measure of loyalty to our
own democracy, it is day of pray
erful thanksgiving. And for those
of us who have long been able to
proudly proclaim 81 Am An Ameri-
can" it is an opportunity for re-
dedication to the ideals and prin-
ciples upon which this country was
founded and which through travail
and trouble it has tried to learn to
express.
There are many scoffers who say
that our democracy is mockery-
because it is not complete-because
in spite of its high boasts of life
and liberty for all, it has discrim-
mated in many instances against
groups of its citizenry-and be-
cause it has not given equal oppor-
tunity to all. Certainly our demo-
cracy is not perfect, but demo-
cracy, being composed of individu-
ais, is a living, growing thing, and
it has progressed and is still pro-
crossing steadily. Despite any de-
fects, the American form of demo-
cracy still offers to everyone a
greater measure of freedom and
opportunity than any other country
on earth.
But 81 Am An American" Day is
not a day on which to discuss what
democracy has or has not done for
it's citizens. Democracy is compos-
ed of it's citizens, and it is up to
them as individuals to live up to
the ideals of their country and so
to raise the standard of the coun-
try as whole.
When we say, 81 Am An Ameri
can" we make it an individual
matter. 1t becomes an individual
right and an individual obligation.
And for the duties involved in such
proclamation we can do no bet
ter thing than to turn back for our
instructions to the epistle of Paul
to the Romans, when he counselled
them:
"Abhor that which is evil; cleave
to that which is good. Be kindly af
fectioned one to another with bro
therly love; in honour preferring
one another; :. X ..rejoicing in
hope; patient in tribulation; con-
tinuing instant in prayer; < < <
Be of the same mind one toward
another. Mind not high things, but
condescend to men of low estate.
Be not wise in your own conceits.
Recompense to no man evil for
evil. Provide things honest in the
sight of all men. < < < Be not over
come of evil, but overcome evil
with good"

lift of the Holy Sabbath SO that
he starts the week off in peni-
tence and in purity and is in the
proper mood for the prayers.
Starting on a week day, ones
mind is usually preoccupied with
mundane affairs.
Since it is forbidden to say the
penitential prayers on the Sab
bath, because the latter was to be
spent in luxury and relaxation,
and the spirit of the Sabbath is
usually stretched until the mid
night hour on Saturday, the Sell
choth are additionally recited
just as the atmosphere of the
Sabbath leads into the beginning
of the week.

QUIZ BOX
QUESTION: What are Sell.
BY RABBI SAMUEL J. FOX
Copyright, 1850, Jewish Telegraphic
Agency, Inc.)

QUESTION: What are Sell
choth?"
ANSWER: "Selichoth" is the

fore Rosh Hashonah, either be-
ginning in the Sunday before the

fore prayers which seek forgive
ness.

Increased Withdrawals From
Israel Banks Reported

JERUSALEM, (JTA) = The
amount Of currency circulating in
Israel this week was 100000
pounds more than during the pre-
vious week, marking the highest
weekly rise for several months, it
was reported here.
The total amount of currency
in circulation reached nearly a.
100000 pounds, owing principally
to publication of the clothing or
dinance and the resultant panicky
purchasing by customers of the
about-to-be-rationed items. An
other reason for the jump was
the spread of an unfounded ru-
NOR that bank accounts would be
frozen.
An Israel Finance Ministry an
nouncment said that the increase
in currency circulation does not
indicate that initiation is in force
nor has it any bearing on the
governments financial require
ments. Only a small amount of
the currency is being used for fl
nancial or business transactions,
the announcement said, adding
that the bulk of the money with
drawn from the banks was trans
ferred to private vaults and safes.

then asked If Mrs. Howard, who
had spoken twice (the bylaws

moved to that effect and it was
