NEW RENT LAW
NEEDED, SAYS
HOUSING CHIEF

Washington HPA) - Federal
Housing Expediter Tighe Woods
wants new rent control legislation
authorizing lids on both residential
and commercial space where nee
.essary.
Woods is also said to believe
there should be controls on real
estate sales. Present and former
control laws never have been ap-
plicable to either sales or CONNER
cial rentals.
In his Sept. 9 speech after in
voking the Defense Production Act,
President Truman declared that
"existing rent law is inadequate to
meet the present situation and
should be improved" The President
did not spell out what he wanted
Congress to do, but he and Woods
are said to see eye-to-eye. Woods
made his idea known to the Bureau
of the Budget.
At present, about 100000 resi-
Dental units are under control. At
the wartime peak, there were lids
on the rents Of 100000 units.
The current law went into effect
July i. Since then, 81 communities
have acted to decontrol themselves,
but another 101 have decided to re-
tain controls after Dec. 81. They
would go off automatically at that
time in the absence of positive ac-
tion. Los Angeles controls, which
the city council tried to remove,
are still in effect pending a court
decision.

READY TO SACRIFICE
FOR LABOR UNITY

Houston, Tex. (LPA)-A pledge
that he will do all in his power to
unite the labor movement was
made by President William Green

He told the AFL convention that
"if there is any sacrifice | might
be called upon to make in order to
establish labor unity in the United
States, | will make that sacrifice"
Green also called for the organ
ization of millions of workers now
unorganized; for an unremitting
battle to secure repeal of the Taft

Price Climbing And Worse
Yet To Come, Report Shows

Washington UPA)-Those hlgh
prices you've been seeing in the
stores lately may be expected to
go even higher. Reports from
around the country the week of
September 20, showed boosts in
several fields.
kaiser-Frazer raised the price Of
its cars $40 to $120 and it was pre-
dicted that other auto manufacture
ers would follow suit.
General Electric increased the
list price on five of its eight major
appliances. Boosts of $40 to $40
were made on refrigerators, $50 to
$50 on home freezers, $40 to $50
on electric ranges, $40 to $40 on
water heaters, and $40 to $50 on
automatic dish washers. The way
was left open for possible price
hikes on television and radio sets.
Wholesale coffee prices went up,
which means that the price to the
housewife will not be far behind.
Vague references were made to the
weather in Brazil (No rain) as a
possible reason.
Beef prices promised to go even
higher than they are now as the
packing companies paid more for
cattle on the hoof. Packers base
their prices to the customer on
what they can get, not what they
pay.
Prices for raw wool are at a re-
cord level, and prices on finished
WOODEN products are climbing
rapidly. Several carpet mills have
announced boosts on carpet prices.
Southern pine lumber hit new
peak, as manufacturers started to
substitute wood for steel in spots
where shortages already exist. Tho
price of wood pulp went up So to
$22.50 ton, along with prices fol
waste paper and for finished paper
products.
Prices of products on the COM
modify exchanges jumped around
wildly, rising and dipping as news
from the Korean war front went
one way and then another. Sugar
prices showed the least tendency to
rise, because of the huge stock
that our government recently
bought from Cuba. The government
has also helped matters by slapping
ceiling on the price of raw sugar
to the refiners.

SPLIT is ENDED
IN AFL UNION

Houston, Tex. (LPA)-A split in
the Ladies' Handbag and Novelty
Workers union has been healed.
President William Green reported
to the AFL convention here.
Over 10000 pocketbook workers
who had withdrawn and formed an
independent union in New York
City have now returned to the par
ent union.
President David Dubinsky of the
Ladies' Garment Workers and Vice
President Matthew Woll of the
Photo Engravers met with both
groups and helped bring about this
reunion.

Comment On
World Events

The international conspiracy call
ed communism as organized by the
party dictators in Moscow, becomes
an increasing menace to our insti-
tutions in time of war. Members of
the Communist party have given
their allegiance to an authority In
conflict with our sovereign nation,
and act as the foreign agents of
the Communist party. They should
not therefore have equal rights
with other citizens whose alleg-
lance is given to our government
and whose loyalty to free institu-
tions established by our govern
ment makes possible the mainten-
ance and continued progress of our
country.
The security problem with re-
spect to government personnel is
primarily the responsibility of top
government officials whom citizens
can hold responsible for results.
All private organizations have a
similar responsibility for those
within their jurisdiction.
Managements and workers with
in industries have grave response
bility for security in production of
war materials and weapons. Pre-
vention of sabotage and spying to
steal information useful to the So
Wet agents pledged to make war
on all western democracies, is nee
essary to the security of our ma
ton and our way of life.
!. 4 X
The Kremlin dictators through
their agency, the World Fedora
ton of Trade Unions, and through
communist agents within this
country, have been taking steps to
cripple movements of ammunition
and supplies and have organized a
campaign to this end.
Our seafaring unions have join
ed with our government to keep
Communist agents out and workers
available for operating ships. There
are other key industries which
Communist agents seek to control
such as wire communications, SER
vice industries which provide op-
portunities for eavesdropping and
examination of baggage, unions
with powerful treasures, power in
dustries, etc.
In addition, special drives haveI
been made against unions in ourI
military outposts such as Panama,
Puerto Rico, Alaska and Hawaii.
In all these key military countriesl
there are workers of different nal
tionalities, many less fortunatel
than our own citizens in the condi-l
tions under which they work and inl
their standards of living. Commun-I
lists seize upon these conditions to,
facilitate their plans to organize
those who have made least progress
against the more successful. The
technique of Communists is to stir
up ,discord, convince people they
are the victims of deliberate dis
elimination, and then take adyant-
age of resulting confusion and dis
content.
\ !. \
In the coming months we recon-
mend the following safeguards:
/. That each national and inter
national union make sure of union
security by excluding all Commun-
lists.
2. That unions cooperate with
authorities for secur-
ity by excluding all Communists.
3. That unions cooperate with
Federation of Labor
leadership to make industries inlI
our military outposts secure from
infiltration and control. Il

Portrait Of Green
Presented As Gift
fBy n. B. o. P. peIer a.esl

Houston, Tex. CLPA)-A beauti-
full, large painting of President
William Green was unveiled on tho
rostrum at the AFL convention
here Sept. 21 and presented as
gift to the veteran AFL chieftain.
The painting was a gift from
President George M. Harrison of
the Railway Clerks. Harrison was
unable to attend because of parti-
cipation in a battle by Railroad
Brotherhoods in Washington for
enactment of union shop legisla-
tion.
However, the presentation was
made in his behalf by Secretary
Treasurer Phil E. Ziegler of the
Railway Clerks.
Bjorn Egli, noted painter in.
Washington, did the portrait, Green
made frequent sittings for Egli in
the executive council room at AFL
headquarters in the nations capi-
tai.
Zieg er, in his presentation
speech, declared the gift was con-
ferred out of 'love and respect" for
Green and out Of admiration for
"his integrity and courage" Green,
in touching reply, voiced thanks
for "this wonderful gift to the
American Federation of Labor"
Meanwhile, in Salt Lake City,
the annual convention of the Ma
tional Apartment Owners Associa-
tion was told that the rental hous-
ing industry ought to form "a pow
erful trade association" to protect
property owners. Washington OBJ
servers who have watched the free
spending "Real Estate Lobby" in
action snickered. The present
"trade association" was strong
enough, they figured. But they also
expected moves for new rent con-
troll Legislation to gain momentum.

NatiOnalists Win First Bout In Shanghai Blockade
tBy Fred Hampson)

HONGKONG, (P) - Failure of the Flying Arrow to run the block ade into Shanghai leaves shippers there with little hope of traffic be- ing resumed into the Yangtze soon.
 The Flying Arrow case is view ed here as a showdown on the Ma tionalist issue-a showdown which the Chinese Nationalist navy won.
 After enduring a pounding from naval gunfire the Flying Arrow went to Tsingtao, $50 miles to the north, to discharge her $l0,0OO,000 cargo.
 That may look as though the Flying Arrow ran the blockade since Tsingtao is Red. But she did not since the cargo is needed at Shanghai and not Tsingtao.
 Whe the Flying Arrow went to Tsingtao that meant that some body, likely the communist gov ernment, would have to foot the bill of transporting the cargo from Tsingtao to Shanghai by rail and water.

 Russian attempts to have Ma tionalist China thrown out of the United Nations will not be suc- cessful at this time, U. N. observ- CTS said today.
 Soviet delegate Jakob Malik is expected to make another propa- ganda departure from the secur- ity council today if that body votes to uphold its January chairman, Nationalist Chinese delegate T. F. Tsiang.
 The chances are that the large majority of the II council mem- bers will decide not to oust the Nationalists in favor of Chinese communists.
 Britain, which has recognized the communist regime of Mao Tze- Tung, has said that the Russian move is premature.
 The United States and France which have not recognized the Mao regime, are not supporting the Soviet proposal. But the United States has served notice it will accept the Chinese commun- ists as soon as a seven-nation ma jority in the council is ready to seat them instead of the Nation alists.
 Secretary of State Acheson in private and public talks is daily making clear Americas policy in the Far East. The United States intends to exploit a Russian i'm perialism which, Acheson says, has already gobbled up big chunks of North China including Man churia.
 The Chinese people will be stir red against the Russians, Acheson anger and wrath" of the Chinese predicted. He said the righteous will turn eventually on the Rus sian land-grabbers.
 The United States will promote the growth of nationalism in southeast Asia and help satisfy a desire for economic betterment in that area, he said.
 Acheson said a third plank in Americas Far Eastern platform is to hold the United States western Pacific line-which does not in clude Formosa.
 Madame Chiang Kai-Shek ar rived in Formosa today and was greeted by her husband, the Gen eralisSimo. Nationalists said her presence in Formosa would boost morale.
 A staff aide has reported to the U. s. House foreign affairs com mittee in Washington that the Ma tionalists will be able to hold For mosa against the communists for about 6 to 18 months without American help.
 Rowing U. s. ambassador Philip Jessup said in Korea the United States will continue to oppose Communism in Asia "as we do throughout the world" Jessup is on his way to Bangkok for a meeting of Faar Eastern American diplomats.

 The Betsy Ross House in Phila- delphia was the birthplace of the American flag. The Continental Congress has approved the Stars and Stripes as the national flag of the United States in 1777. In the early stages of the Revolutionary War each state carried flag of it's own. Massachusetts had pine tree on it's flag which South Caro- lima had a rattlesnake. When Yer mont, in 1791 and Kentucky in 1792, came into the Union, the number of stars was raised to fif- teen. On Jan. 13, 1794 it was de- cided that each new state would be represented by a star.
