The Philosophy OF Life

Did it ever occur TO you that a
mans life is full Of crosses and
temptations He comes into this
world without his consent and goes
out against his will and the trip
between is exceedingly rocky. The
rule of contraries is one Of the fea-
lures of this trip. When he is little
the big girls kiss him; when he is
big the little girls kiss him.
If he is poor, he is poor man
ager; if he is rich, he is dishonest
If he needs credit, he can't get it
if he is prosperous everyone wants
to do him favor. If he is in poll
tics, it is for graft, if he is out OF
politics, he is no good to the coun-
try. If he doesn't give to charity
he is a stingy cuss; if he does, its
for show. If he is actively religious
he is a hypocrite; If he takes nc
interest in religion, he is hard
ened sinner. If he gives affection
he is soft speciman; if he cares
for no one, he Is cold blooded
If he dies young, there was q
great future for him; if he lives t.
an old age, he missed his calling. II
you save money, your crouch; il
you spend it, your loafer. If you
get 1t, your a CRATER, if you don't
get 1t, your bum. SO what the
hell's the use.

Newsweek Debunks Attack
On British Heulth Plun

New York (LPA) - Newsweek
magazine has joined the ranks OF
those debunking the wild charges
of the American Medical Associa-
ton against Britain's health plan
The ANA and its allies in the
fight to defeat national health in
surance have screamed social
ISM, and have painted black pic
ture of the British system. The
August z issue of Newsweek car
ries a three-page report from its
London bureau, answering a num-
Der of misconceptions" current in
the United States. The Newsweek
article makes these points:
The average Britisher, regard
less of his politics, likes the new
system and knows that it has come
to stay. Defects in the system are
regarded as "bugs" to be ironed
out. Says Newsweek: "The British
public would no more think of do
ing without the Health Service
than an American with a new cal
would go back. to the horse anc
buggy"
The Health Service does not
mean loss of freedom for doctors
and patients. Doctors do not have
to join $4,000 of an estimated 21,-
600 have joined). Doctors do not
have to give up private practice
they may refuse patients, may re-
fuse to take on additional patients
Patients do not have to use the
Health Service, and can continue
their private arrangements if they
prefer.
British Conservatives are not op
posed to the Health Service. Ir
fact, they claim it was their idea
in the first place, and that they
could run the system better thar
the Labor Party now in power.
British doctors have not beer
"nationalized", and are not under
orders from the national govern
ment.
The Health Service was not al
overnight change from the old fee
paying system to complete so
'cialized" system. The Health Ser
vice was built on an existing
of state medicine that had beer
running smoothly for 81 years.
Says Newsweek: Summed up
the fact that the MIS- does not
solve everybody's problem does not
as critics imply, mean that it is q
bad thing"

To Continue Fiqhf
On Job Transfers

Detroit (LPA)--For two months
the Ford company refused to give
definite information on it's plan to
transfer jobs from its Rouge plant
to other industrial centers. Local
600, United Auto Workers, finally
threatened a strike of it's $4,000
members against the Ford runaway
program. Ford yielded.
Management has agreed to ex-
tend full seniority rights to $50
workers shifted from the Rouge
plant to a new parts depot The
$50 will remain under Local 600
jurisdiction.
Carl Stellato, Local 600 pres
ident, has announced the union will
continue the battle. "We refused
to tolerate the company's total dis
regard for the welfare of it's en-
ployes," Stellato declared. "We
tried for the past two months to
reach a workable agreement with
the company on its decentralization
program. The company has refus-
ed to give us any positive infor-
nation on this program which af-
fects the welfare of thousands of
our members. Ford management
has at last learned that we mean
business and that we are prepared
to take all legal means at our
command to resist the company's
plans to throw thousands of our
members upon the streets"

|AFL Council Hits
Truman Curb On
| Home Building

i Chicago (LPA)-The sAFL Elk
ecutive Council, in a unanimousl.
adopted policy statement, has as
sailed restrictions ordered by Pres
i ident Truman on residential con
I|struction. The council noted tha
restrictions were ordered seven be
fore any attempt was made t,
limit non-essential non-residentia
construction"
/ Calling the curbs extremely in
Equitable" the council urged tha
the nations entire housing polio!
be reconsidered.
/ The council asked that: the rem
control law be Immediately amend
ed to permit recontrol of decon
trolled communities; that the Hous
ling Expediter be given enough
funds to permit strict enforcement
of controls and prevent sky-rocket
ling of rents; that rent controls b'
continued beyond Dec. 81, and be
yond next June unless there is {
drastic change in the internationa
situation.
The council also asked that: M
further cut-back in the low-rent
lpublic housing program for low.
income families be permitted; Con
lgress pass legislation for a coop.
erative housing program for mid
ldle-income families; all classes o1
luxury housing be directly prohi.
lbited, instead of increasing dowr
payments for homes built under
FILA and VA.
AFL President William Greer
lsaid that a curb on housing should
Ibe part of a general overall pro-
lgram of restrictions, and that g
curb on housing may be needed
I"later, but not just yet"
He opposed any moves to freeze
wages at present levels because
l"those who hiked prices will bene-
fit and that labor will suffer" He
pointed out that food prices hao
jumped Is percent since January
and that therefore unions are jus
Itified in demanding wage in
crease to make up for the higher
living costs.
Prospects for AFL-CIO unity
said Green, "look better than ever"
but unity "would take time, quite
a bit of time"
The councils policy statement
recognized that the Korean situa-
tion requires cutbacks in the civil
ian economy but noted that pre-
tparedness twill be affected not
only by the amount of these cut
backs, but also by the manner in
which they will be carried out"
The housing shortage is still par
ticularly acute among low anc
middle income families, and there
fore such residential construction
as is permitted should be devoted
primarily to meet those needs, said
the council.
President Truman's restrictions
the statement said, will:
l. Reduce the scope of the much.
needed low-rent public housing
program for low-income families.
2. Make it very difficult for fam
lies without large accumulated
savings to obtain any new private
ly-built housing.
"The restricted housing program
will produce dwellings almost ex
clusively for higher incomt
groups" said the council. 'The i'm
mediate results, in terms of con
servation of materials and man
power, moreover, seem to have
been nil"
The council warned against re
peating "the disastrous experience

line and adequate community fac

Inquiry Listed On
Handling Wartime
Labor Disputes

Washington (LPA)-What is the
best way of handling labor disputes
in wartime? That is the question
the Senate Labor Management Re-
lations Subcommittee will ask
Sept. 5, when it opens hearings on
wartime dispute machinery.
A letter has been sent by Sub
committee Chairman James Muir
ray Cd, Mont) to labor, industry
and public representatives, asking
them to appear and state their
views. Advice is sought on: % the
peaceful settlement of disputes
(2) possible limitation of wages as
part of economic stabilization, and
(3) guidance Of civilian manpower
in accordance with production
needs.
At least IL big questions are
raised in connection with labor in
wartime: Are existing agencies
adequate to handle wartime dis
pute problems If they are, what
increases of authority would be
required for W h h agencies :?
Should wartime labor dispute pro-
cedures be administered by estab-
fishing new agencies or by inte-
grafton with existing executive
agencies of the government?
Should the World War II Labor
Board be revived? What were the
advantages of the War Labor
Board? Disadvantages? Should the
administration of wartime labor
relations agency be tripartite in
character? If tripartite, should the
tripartism extend only to policy
making or operations as well?
Should an attempt be made to
define "war" production or indus
tries vital" to national defense in
order to limit the scope of the dis
pute and stabiization authority
/ iShould wage stabilization and dis
lpute machinery be Incorporated
under a single authority? Should
| decisions on cases be made on a
case -by-case basis or an ssue-by-
issue basis?
What should be the extent of the
governments seizure pow ers?
What should be the maximum use
of the Federal Mediation and Con-
ciliation Service? What, if any, are
the limitations of the Taft-Hart-
ley act with respect to prospective
war disputes?
