Negroes"
Meanwhile, the Fides Service
in Rome reported:
''The social, cultural and edu-
cational prograss made by the
American Negro since emancipa-
ton is without parallel in history
There is still much to be done
before the Negro enjoys all the
rights to which he is entitled.
A tremendous process of
social change is working out for
the Negro in the U. S. 1t is
accompanied by much resistance
= yet the process works inev-
itably from the very nature of
the American Republic"
Tie Fides Service praised Pres
ident Truman's stand on equal
rights. 1t called upon Catholics
to pray for their Negro brothers
in union with the Pope, and to
make the Negro welcome.
The Fides article said:
Negroes hear and read the
great announcements of the Holy
Father, full Of friendship and af-
lection for them.
"They expect to find those SEN
timents re-echoed by their Cath
Ollie neighbors.
"This is a great privilege &C
corded us by God in that we may
make ourselves the instruments
by which His graces aye be-
slowed"
Fides recalled that Plus XII's
first encyclicial to the Christian
world was on the unity and solid
arity of the human family. Fides
added:
"The American Negro belongs
to that family
Fides quoted from the Pope's
encyclical:
"Those who enter the Church.
whatever be their origin +. must
know that they have equal rights
as children in the House of the
Lord, where the law of Christ and
the peace of Christ prevail"

DEMAND ON VISION DEPENDS
ON JOB; 2 OUT OF 3 NEED Gaia L,

lied labor, are increasingly aware
Of the problem. Many companies
have taken corrective steps, in
volving systematic vision pro-
grams that cover both professional
care for those who need it and in
stallation of better lighting sys-
TENS.
Employees in one plant aver
aged 81 month higher wages on
piece work after visual correc-
tion," the Association said. PRO
duction jim another firm jumped
3 or 4 per cent after visual pro-
gram was instituted, along with
improved lighting"
The pamphlet points out that
near-point acuity (the ability to
focus and see we'll at Is inches)
is important for a majority OF
present-day jobs, such as a tele-
phone operator, file clerk, seam
stress, assembler of small parts,
typict, and similar occupations.
The major benefits of vision
program are that it can boost pro-
Guction, reduce waste, and lower
the accident rate. Lowering the
accident rate is fairly obvious, of
course, since the relation of vision
to safety is better recognized than
5 rclation to production and eff
cheney. An employee with ineffi-
cicnt Vision' is dangerous not only
to himself but to his fellow-work-
ers IS well. Vision is doubly inn
portant in a safety program, be-
cause inefficient vision can cause
accidents, and eye injuries are
among the most common serious
industrial hazards.

Two out of three adult Ameri-

may handicap them in their jobs,
according to pamphlet, do You
Know These Facts About Vision
and Your job" recently issued by
the American Optometric Asso-
citation.
Defective vision not only cuts
down the productivity of the
worker, but is also responsible for
one-fourth Of all industrial acct
dents, the Association stated. How
ever, it added, "all but a small
percentage of all visual prob
lens can be corrected"
Jobs differ greatly in seeing re-
quirements, it was revealed. In
general, the closer the work to the
eyes. the more likelihood of vision
problems. AT the top of the list
are garment workers, three
fourths of whom need glasses or
other visual care to see adequate

cerned, farming is the best of all
occupations. Two-thirds OF all
farmers can pass standard visual

cases; office employees with SO per
cent inadequate vision; and pro-

Ives Drops Attempt
To Persuade Dewey
To Seek Third Term
BY the Associated Press

Senator Ives, Republican. of New
York, said today he has given up
attempts to convince Thomas E.
Dewey that he ought to run for
a third term as Governor of New
York.
81 think the Governor has made
up his mind to retire to private
life and I'm afraid nobody can
change his decision" Senator Ives
told a reporter.
He said he thinks Joseph Han
ley, 74-year-old lieutenant gover-
nor, is almost certain to be the
Republican nominee for Governor
The New York Senator added that
the senatorial race seems to be
completely up in the air.
Senatorial Decision Delayed.
Gov. Dewey's action in turning
over his August speaking engage
ments to Mr.. Hanley and in lend
ing the lieutenant governor the
services Of his secretary and cam
paign publicity director, James
Hagerty, has been interpreted as
an endorsement of Mr.. Hanley.
A reported scramble among
eligible Republicans for the Lieu.
tenant Governors nomination ap.
parently will delay any decision
on the senatorial race until short
ly before the State convention ir
September.
Several Republicans considered
eligible for the senatorial nomina-
ton also are on the available list
for the Lieutenant Governor race
and some apparently are more in
terested in the State than the
national Office.
Lehman Assured Backing.
New York is one of the States
singled out by Republicans in theil
drive to pick up the seven seats
they need to wrest control of the
Senate from the Democrats in the
November election.
Some Republicans apparently
think they would have a better
chance of carrying the State and
putting senatorial nominee
across if Gov. Dewey ran again.
Senator Lehman, Democrat-Lib-
eral, of(New York is assured OF
Democratic and Liberal party
nomination in the senatorial race
The Democratic choice for Gov
ernor is undecided.

How is an occupational disease defined? One
definition drawn by the Association of Casualty anc
ISurety Executives, is most pertinent:
'occupationa disease shall be construed
only disease which is due and condi-
tons which characteristic of and peculiar
ticular trade, occupation employment and
exclude all ordinary disease of life which the general
public exposed"
Such diseases as scosis arsenic and lead poison
ing lung cancer, certainly would under such a
definition All ailments peculiar to various types
of industrial operation, and most uncommon
among people not working in those industries.
This lends itself to further conclusion. Our
laws have long recognized that when man is hurt
in the regular course of his employment he is eli
gibe for compensation payments. Why then is brok-
en- health caused by conditions peculiar to a work
er's employment not basis for compensation? Do
not such diseases endanger and impair wage earn
ers health and his famiys economic security fully
much though he disabled in an industrial
accident? If he cannot work because his health is
gone because his lungs eaten out by silica DUST
is he not just much casualty of industry as his
fellow worker who may lose leg, ARM or eye
sight, in industrial accident?
The answer is obvious Therein lies the need for
broadening the coverage extended under the Work
mems Comp Act.
1t isn't right that, when is no longer able
to earn because of inadequate sanitation in an in
dustry that he should be cut adrft by his employer
in manner much the same as discards worn
out piece of machinery. And, it isn't fair that in
lustry should take it's responsibility to such human
wrecks so lightly that the public must provide sub
stence-as is presently the law regarding scosis
enefits Since, few, is any men would be disabled by
