ing an NLRB decision against
the Joy Silk Mills, Inc, said that
when plant superintendent
"interrogates" employees on the
eve of a union recognition cleo

veiled threats by management
had caused the union to lose a

Testimony showed the plant SUI

automobiles, building construc-
ton, retail trade, and many
manufacturing fields. The banks
conclusions were drawn from a
study of 500 companies.
War scare buying swamped
many manufacturers with orders
beyond their capacities, Nation
al City economists observed. At
the same time, some industries
such as tobacco, clothing, office
and railway equipment found
their profit margins squeezed by
rising costs and taxes, the bank
declared.
(National City expressed OPP
position to excess profit taxes,
nevertheless. The banks econo-
mists insisted that the idea be-
hind them - fair return and
average earnings = are uncon-
nected with a war emergency
and might prove to be an en-
tering wedge for permanent
system of profit control = a
notion which seemed to give
National City the horrors.
(National City thinking was
further exemplified by w. Ran
dolph Burgess, chairman of the
banks board. Speaking before
"a Chamber of Commerce group,
Burgess insisted I'VE should tax
spending and not production"
("Taxing spending will en-
courage saving" he declared.
"This is strong argument for
more excise taxes rather than
more income taxes = corporate
or individual" His idea seemed
TO be to cut consumer buying,
for heavier excise taxes would
fall directly on the consumers,
observers pointed out.)

Deficit spending by state and

for necessary goods, borrowed

flames.
The bank also knocks in the
head another cry of the reac-
tionaries, who have ben shout
ing that if only the government
would b "a ance the federal
budget all would be well. Says
the bank: "While the prescrip-
ton of balanced federal budget

rectly with onl yone of the pos

COP Campaign
Followed Hate
Pattern kroIl

WASHINGTON UPA) = The
Republican campaign this year
was marked by filth and slam
der, CIO-PAC Director Jack
Kroll told an American Veter-
ans Committee luncheon on
Nov. 2.
y The pattern was set in Florida
and North Carolina in the pri-
mary campaigns against Sena-
tors Claude Pepper and Frank
Graham, Kroll said. Graham
and Pepper, both outstanding
liberals, were defeated.
More recently the COP has
conducted smear campaigns in
California, Ohio, Illinois, Indi-
ana, Connecticut, Iowa, Colo
rado, and other states, Kroll de
clared. Moreover, he added,
COP money was unlimited.
The COP drive organized Ia
Dor in general and the CIO in
particular was designed to rouse
"class hatred for personal gain,
Kroll said. Such a campaign
'bids no good for America" he
told his listeners.
Kroll especially deplored ap-
peals to religious prejudices. He
read letter signed by Rev. F.
r. Stoneburner of Dayton, Ohio,
which called attention to the
fact that Joe Ferguson, Ohio s
Democratic candidate for the
Senate, was a Catholic. The let
ter was obviously planned to
arouse fear of Ferguson in the
minds of its recipients, Kroll
pointed out.
Ferguson's Republican oppo-
nent, Sen. Taft, was informed OF
the kind of tricks that were be-
ing used by the COP, Kroll said,
but failed to repudiate them.
Kroll declared that such tactics
couldn't do any candidate any
good"

in and out of Congress who have
blamed the Administration and
its deficit spending for all the
nations ills, including the in
flation.
The banks Monthly Review
says that excessive private ex-
penditures rather than govern
ment deficit spending were the
major generating force behind
the most recent rise in com
modify prices, adding that this
has been true for the entire post
war period.
AS to the federal government,
its operations during most OF
the postwar period have not
only been non-inflationary, but
"a major anti-inflation force,
because during most of that pc
riod government transactions
have resulted in a net cash sur
plus, said the bank.

points out, is that business gen.

Correct Name
A Necessity

The famous line, "A rose by
any other name doesn't ap-
ply to your social security card,
says Wayne w. Putnam, man
ager of the Toledo social secur-
ity office.
He points out the necessity OF
having your correct and present
name on your card. If you're
a Miss who's become Missus,
or if you've changed your name
for any other reason, his office
should be notified, to protect
your social security.
This is of Importance to a
greater number of people now,
saws Mr.. Putnam. He estimates
that many thousands more resi-
dents of the territory serviced
by the Toledo social security Of
flee will be working toward old
age and survivors insurance
benefits beginning in January.
Many kinds of work will come
under social security for the
first time on that date, under
provisions of the 1850 amend
ments to the Social Security
Act.
If you have changed your
name, or have lost your social
security card, or have never had
a card, Mr.. Putnam urges you
to get in touch with the local
social security office.

Speaking at a convention
America, Nov. 2, Symington ri
d " n I a G e of shortages and
mounting demands to reap "op-
portunity profits" 1"
1.-The threat of initiation is as
great a peril to our democratic
institutions as the curse of COM
munism,' Symington declared,
adding that President Truman
was determined" to take what
ever steps were necessary to lick
the initiation problem.
Nevertheless, the NSRB chair
man said, in some fields price
increases have been taken in
anticipation of price controls be-
ing established at the higher
levels" He insisted that the rises
would be carefully scrutinized
should it become necessary to
impose full price controls and
threatened a rollback to pre-
Korean price levels in those in
dustries which have raised prices
without justification. Profiteers
would have no right to COM
plain.
La bor has been protesting
about price rises, Symington
said. Moreover, he declared, la
Dor is correct when it contends
that such increases constitute
cuts in take-home pay.
What a bitter irony if we
failed because of selfishness
and Indifference" the mobiliza-
ton chief said. But we're not
going to fail, he emphasized in
effect, because the people and
the government are going to win
the fight against initiation. If
possible, they are going to win
with few selective controls
and with higher tax policy, -
he declared. But if they cant
win it this way, We are going to
impose whatever controls and is
sue whatever directives are nee
essary."
To drive home his points, Sy-
mington singled out the domes-
tic copper mining n d u tr y
which has insisted on retention
of a high tariff on foreign cop
per despite the fact that the US
must now import 35 percent of
the copper we use. Fight for the
tariff has been led by a copper
magnate "who believes produc-
ton should be held down, but
not his opportunity profits" the
NSRB chairman said. He told
his listeners that this copper ex-
ecutive's company made more
money in the second quarter of
1850 than in the entire year
1945.
Meanwhile, a new picture OF
the profit situation was issued
by a conservative source, the Ma
tional City Bank of New York.
The picture was about the same
as the one labor leaders and
other liberals have painted)
(Said the banks November
newsletter: profits for the first
nine months of 1850 were 81
percent above the same period
last year; in the third quarter
alone, profits were 54 percent
ahead of the 1949 third quarter
figures; new peacetime or all1
time peaks were set in steel,
