Russia Real Enemy
Saws Bill Green

Washington (LPA) - The "real
enemy is Communist Russia" says
AFL President William Green.
Russia's rulers are the agrees
ors and are the ones responsible
for "the present grave situation,
Green writes in the December issue
of The American Federationist
AFL monthly.
Consequently, the veteran leader
warns, "The United States cannot
afford to involve all its forces in
fighting Soviet satellites when we
are needing to prepare against the
real enemy-Stalin and the Polit-
buro."
Nevertheless, "The time is long
past for appeasement of Commun-
lists anywhere" Green declares.
1--WE cannot dishonor our citizens
who made the supreme sacrifice to
defeat aggressors rather than yield
on principle"
To prove his main point, the
AFL chief reminds readers that
Russia has "a treaty of alliance
with the Red Chinese" He recalls
that Molotov visited Peiping
shortly after the United Nations
acted to repel the invasion of South
Korea" Mao Tse-Tung, overload of
the Red Chinese, has been confer
ring with other Kremlin agents" F"
and the Red Chinese delegates
"came to Lake Success by the way
of the USSR."
Summing up, Green says flatly:
"The Kremlin is responsible for the
invasions of Korea, of Tibet and
ndo-China."

House Passes Touchdown
Excess Profits Tax Bill

Washington (LPA)-By a whop-
ping 378 to 20 the House of Rep
resentatives passed and sent to the
Senate a bill taxing excess corp
crate profits retroactively to July
|, 1850.
The final figures were deceptive
however, as some 125 Republican
members, seeing how things were
going, jumped aboard the band
wagon. Key vote came on a COP
substitute bill which was defeated
252 to 145, substantially on party
lines.
The excess profits tax (EPT)
approved by the House is water
ed down version Of the legislation
requested by President Truman
and falls well short of what was
demanded by the AFL and CIO. 1t
is also weaker than the World War
II tax law. Nevertheless, EPT adj
vocates were cheered by the House
action and prepared to train their
guns on what still might be a stub
born Senate.
The House bill provides for the
following:
A tax Of rs percent on corporate
earnings exceeding 85 percent of
the best three-year average in the
four-year l946-49 period, Or
A tax Of rs percent of all earn
ings exceeding a stipulated per
centage of a corporations invested
capital. (The greater the amount Of
invested capital, the smaller the
percentage exempted from EPTD
A corporation can select which
ever Of the two computing methods
yields the lower tax.
If a corporation doesn't earn
$500 it isn't subject to EPT re-
gardless Of other factors. More
over, a corporation can't be made
to pay more than 81 percent of it's
earnings in regular income taxes
and EPT combined
Relief provisions would mitigate
the hardships that might be suf-
fered by new corporations and
small, growing corporations. In
addition, there are some concess-
ions to special interests.
Exempted from EPT is the pro-
duction Of certain minerals eX-
empted from the World War IL tax,
plus additional minerals. (The min
erals list can be enlarged by the
Defense Minerals Administrations }
Utilities (including oil and gas
pipelines), airlines and railroads
are also granted special treatment.
Estimates Of the amount the
House version Of EPT would raise
ranges upward from So billion a
year to SAG as corporate profits
rise. Organized labor called for a
tax that would bring in $5-to 81
billion during the current fiscal

CIVIL SERVICE WORKERS IN
MICHIGAN GET PAY BOOSTS

Lansing, Mich. LPA) = Mich
igan's 200 civil service workers
received an average wage increase
of ia percent on Dec. 3, thanks
to the efforts of Council II, Amer
lean Federation of State, County
& Municipal Employes-AFL.
The increase, which will add ST.
$4,000 to workers pockets, raises
state minimums from $1760 to
$4,000 a year. Lower paid employees
numbering 1906 will share $5,-
100000 and the balance will be
split among 6221 workers in high
er brackets.
Earl Harris, business agent for
the union, said that a fight will
continue for an overall cost of liv-
ing adjustment and estimated the
Dec. 3 boost would range from four
percent in higher pay groups to
1872 percent in the lowest.

ALL LOCALS URGED TO
SEEK MILITARY CLAUSES

Detroit (LPA)-All locals of the
United Auto Workers have been
notified to seek contract clauses to
protect members now in or who
may be called into military service.
Emil Macy, secretary-treasurer,
who is also director of the Veter-
ans department, sent model clauses
to all locals. The locals were urged
to ask for: Unemployment rights
for returning servicemen, including
probationary employees; guarantee
or promotional opportunities grant
ed during absence in the armed
services; vacation pay for year of
entrance and year of return from
service; pension credits for time
spent in service; continuation Of
all insurance benefits during SER
vice; establishment of labor-man-
agement military deferment COM

year. President Truman called for
$4 billion.
The COP substitute coupled a
much milder EPT with five per-
cent boost in the regular corporate
income tax rate. That rate is now
As percent. Opponents contended
that under the COP proposal most
of the tax could be passed on to
consumers.
Joining to defeat the Republican
substitute bill were 240 Democrats,
II Republicans and one American
Labor Party member. After that,
the rush to the bandwagon was on
However, it looked like tougher
going for EPT in the Senate, as
many a COP House member who
voted for it knew. The Senate Fin
ance Committee began hearings on
the House bill before the House
acted. Chairman of the Finance
Committee is Sen. Walter George
Cd, Ga.), a southern conservative
who wanted to postpone considera-
tion of EPT in the first place. On
Georges flank sit conservative
COP Sens. Robert Taft of Ohio and
Gene Millikin of Colorado, who just
survived election campaigns.
Millikin has said he felt morally
bound to consider EPT but Taft
has expressed a characteristic pre-
ference for postponement until
January. New Defense require
ments may change Taft's outlook,
however. And George thinks the
Senate may pass heavily amend
ed" bill before the years end.
Secretary of the Treasury John
Snyder, first witness before the
Senate group, substantially restat-
ed what he'd told the House Ways
& Means Committee some two
weeks earlier. But he said that at
least an extra billion dollars should
be raised by EPT than the House
bill could raise. He added that de-
Tense outlays may boost federal ex-
penditures by so percent next year.
Still further tax increases will be
required, he said.
The next two days, the repre-
of big business trooped
before the Finance Committee to-
oppose EPT, to urge that it be
dropped or modified in favor OF al
increase in corporation
rates. Their testimony was an echo
of what they said in appearances
before the House Ways & Means
Committee.
But one business man spoke out
for the tax. He was Miles Penny
backer, who appeared for Ameri-
cans for Democratic Action. Said
Pennybacker, president of Voltarc
Tubes Inc. of Norwalk, Conn; "We
in the ADA view an excess profits
tax as a necessary complement to|
the tax measures enacted in Sept
ember of this year which did not
place a fair share of the burden on
incomes. We believe that
your committee in the face of soar
ing profits and the dire need for
increased federal revenues should
legislate to take the profits out of
war"

subsidies from the government of

TAG. In addition the federal govern
ment has made capital and con-
struction expenditures of 500, ,452,-
1884 in behalf of CPR. But the
Supreme Court of Canada has now
ruled that CPR, Canada's largest
corporation, need not pay taxes.
The Supreme Court has reversed
a Saskatchewan decision, and has
ruled that the main lines of CPR
are not taxable at all, and the
branch lines are taxable only when
they are not required for the oper-
alton of the main line.

Cornell Officials
Need Own Course

ithaca, N. Y.-Conell Univer-
sity is the home of the New York
State School Of Industrial Relations
established by the New York State
Legislature to foster better labor
management relations.
Yet the New York Times publish
ed a story headlined "Unionism on
Campus Opposed by Cornell"
Local 296 AFL Building Service
Employees called a strike to obtain
union recognition and other bene-
fits for 800 maintenance employees.
Cornell met the situation in the
typical "never-never-land' way Of
employers giving lip service to
lip service to trade unionism but
never conforming their deeds to
their words.
In a statement, Cornell said that
it had made its position on collec-
tive bargaining clear to the union
in 1947. The statement, signed by
John f. Burton, vice president for
business, said that at that time the
union had been told:
"There was no real need for any
collective bargaining agreement or
a formal recognition of the union
since the university staff and of
ficers were ready and willing at all
times to discuss employment pro-
blems with any employe or group
of employees"
Cornell can increase its income
only by increasing tuition charges,
but the university seeks to avoid
such increases, the statement said,
adding:
conventional trade unionism
does not fit the circumstances of
university campus. The (present)
drive threatens to split
the campus and negate a vitality
important effort made throughout
the decades to maintain harmonious
and reasonably equal conditions all
over the campus"
Maybe the folks who run Cornell
ought to take their own course OF
study.

mental powers. We are determined
to protest our internal security,
but in that determination we must
never forget that the purpose of
that security is to allow US to en-
JOY personal liberty"
Malin also pointed out that
"The BIZ of Rights established the
tradition of nonconformity. We
must remember that it was out
spoken nome on f ormi ty that
brought our country to life and
that democracy's great advances
have always been led by men who
dared to depart from accepted
thinking. Only by the exchange of
different ideas can we find solu-
tion to problems"
The 82nd Congress, meeting in
January, will again face the con-
troversy which has supplied the
Communist and Fascist Dictator
ships with powerful propaganda
against the American democracy.
1t is the controversy over equal
rights for all citizens-over dis
elimination.
Probably millions of men and
women on the other side Of the
world will be listening eagerly and
fearfully Dec. Is to the forbidden
short wave broadcasts of the Voice
Of America, telling about Bill Of
Rights Day. They will listen with
a mixture of envy and admiration.
But, warned Malin, America has
been touched by censorship, has
taken steps that may lead to Grip
Dling democratic thought even
though the words Of the Bill Of
Rights remain unchanged. Malin
quoted Dean Wilbur j. Bender Of
Harvard University as follows:
'The world is full of dangerous
ideas and we are both naive and
stupid if we believe that the way to
prepare intelligent young men to
face the world is to try to protect
them from such ideas while they
are in college. Four years in an
nursery will produce gull
ible innocents, not tough-minded
realists who know what they be
lieve because they have faced the
enemies of their beliefs"

NATION TO MARK BILL
OF RIGHTS DAY DEC. Is

Washington (LPA) - 1t was a
president of the United States
seeking reelection, who told the
nation, 81 am not, never was and
never shall be a."
That was in 1923, and the speak
er was John Quincy Adams, run
ming against Andrew Jackson. And
the group with which he denied
any association :? 1t was the Free
masons, then the objects of fear
hatred, and abuse. In fact, all that
politicians then had to do to win
votes was to charge an opponent
with being a Mason. The Masonic
order was then a small group, but
it was a scapegoat. The real feal
was the extension of politlcal
rights to workers.
1t was the Catholics, and all for
eigners, who were the scapegoats
in the Know-Nothing movement of
pre-Civil war days. The people
thought the huge influx of Irish,
German and Scandinavian immi-
grants would wreck the economy
and change the political character
of the nation.
After the Civil war, it was the
Klan, and the Negroes became the
scapegoat for southerners' hatred
of the northern occupation forces.
After World War | it was "an-
archists", radicals" and minority
races and religious groups that suf-
fered from the current hysteria.
These facts were recalled by
Patrick Murphy Malin, executive
director of the American Civil Lib
critics Union, in connection with the
159th anniversary, Dec. Is, of the
adoption of the first ten amend
ments to the Constitution, known
as the Bill Of Rights.
Bill of Rights Day, said Malin,
is the time for America, Sin the
thick of its struggle against inter
national Communism to re-examine
itself.
down through the years, he
said, "mass hysteria has gripped
Americans for temporary periods,
resulting in a witch-hunt. Usually
it takes root in an atmosphere of
war, severe economic crisis, or a
threat to either"
Past periods of witch-hunt, said
Malin, brought SERIOUS damage to
precious civil rights which men
have fought for centuries to estab-
lish."
He pointed out that although
ACLU approves Tightening the
laws against espionage, sabotage
and treason wherever necessary,
the group opposes the McCarran
anti-subversives act because "leg-
islation must be designed in accord
ance with the time-honored prin
ciples of due process Of law, or else
the civil liberties of every one of
us are in danger. To overstep the
boundaries Of reason is to destroy
the very freedoms we are trying to
protect. The only way for us to
spread democracy is to practice it
ourselves, even by extending it to
those whose anti-democratic opin-
ions we oppose"
Rear Admiral Sidney W. Souers,
addressing the FBl National Aca
denny, said breaking down the
guarantees Of the Bill of Rights in
order to get at the Communists is
a policestate way of doing bust
ness. If the Bill of Rights were to
