SO the Employment Security Board
of Review has ruled in the case of
Jersey City factory worker. Cor

l949. Five months later doctors
said he could do light work. His
last boss had no such work, and
he tried elsewhere, but failed to
pass medical exams. The Board
held the law did not impose as
test of ability to work that the
claimant must pass medical exams

.NLRB SIaps Down
Employer Trying
Union Busting

Midland, Calf. (LPA)-The US
Gypsum Co. here tried new gim-
mick to throw out the union, but
the National Labor Relations Board
said "no."
Management refused to bargain,
on the excuse that it doubted the
union still represented majority
of the employees. There was no
move for decertification by en-
ployes. Although the firm was told
it could file an employer petition,
it never did so. The NLRB said
that was not bargaining in good
faith.
The union is Local 63, AFL
Cement, Lime & Gypsum Workers.
There was contract between 1887
and 1943. In 1945 the War Labor
Board certified the union as bar
gaining agent, after consent cleo
ton, In February 1948 the union
gave notice, under the contract, of
desire to negotiate a new agree
ment. The company refused, say
ing the union would have to qualify
again, under NLRB proceedings, as
the bargaining agent. A month
later the union won union-secur-
ity election. The company said it
still had reason to doubt the union
had "a majority. SO the union went
to the NLRB.
Said the Board: "Once employees
have designated their bargaining
representative, in accordance with
the Act, recognition is not matt
er which an employer may or may
not grant when and as he chooses"

thought that might create in the
minds of the purchasing public,
contrary to fact, that the products
have some connection with the Am

pany, after ETC prodding, has
agreed "to discontinue the unqual-
flied use of the Red Cross name

Green Asks
US Chamber For
Freezing Wages.
Prices, Profits

Washington (LPA) = The US
Chamber of Commerce is for freez-
ing salaries, wages, prices and pro.
fits if the nation is plunged into
war because of the Korean crisis
profits were enormous in 1948
and 1949, and are running at the
same or greater rate today.)
Any immediate controls should
be on a voluntary basis, said Otto
A. Seyferth, Chamber president. If
controls later should be needed
"they should be imposed reluct-
antly, to be quickly abandoned
when they have served their pur-
pose"
The crisis, said Seyferth, makes
it imperative that Congress quick
ly determine "the need for more
appropriations, more manpower,
and more domestic controls"
There was no mention of the
need for higher taxes in the long
statement.
Industry leaders generally plum
ped for voluntary controls, and
took a dim view of the proposal of
Sen. Joseph C. O'Mahoney Cd,
Wyo.) for an excess profits tax.
O'Mahoney is chairman of the
Joint Committee on the Economic
Report. "There is no member of
Congress who does not remember
how impossible it is to roll back
prices after they have risen", he
said, speaking of initiation. "If we
temporize, initiation will make the
job increasingly difficult"
The potters herald. [volume] (East Liverpool, Ohio) 1899-1982, 1950-07-27

make general controls less necess-
ary."
He called for "a balanced system
of taxation" which would distribute
the tax burden fairly, and whose
aim should be "the elimination OF
profiteering." He promised to pre-
sent such a program "as soon as
necessary studies are completed" p"
Meanwhile he called on Con-
gress, as fur er safeguards
against initiation, to authorize con-
troll of consumer credit and credit
used for speculation in commod-
tiles. (The day before the President
had acted to curb the building boom
and head off rising prices by i'm
posing credit restraints on hous-
ing, limiting new public housing,
and ordering other action to make
materials available for the armed
forces.)
To accelerate and increase pro-
duction, Truman recommended that
Congress authorize production loan
guarantees and loans; long-term
contracts and other means to en-
courage output of goods in short
supply. He promised to discuss
these measures in greater detail in
his forthcoming midyear economic
report.
Truman began by reviewing the
events in Korea. He called the at
tack on South Korea naked, de-
liberate, unprovoked aggression,
without a shadow of justification"
and "a real and present danger to
the security of every nation" The
attack, he said, was ga clear chal-
lenge to the basic principles of the
United Nations charter"
He reviewed the steps taken by
the US, and said they were made
"as a matter of basic moral prin-
ciple." The attack, he went on,
"makes it plain beyond all doubt
that the international communist
movement is prepared to use arm
ed intervention to conquer inde-
pendent nations. We must therefore
recognize the possibility that arm
ed aggression may take place in
other areas"
Since "it is now clear that the
free nations of the world must step
up their common security pro-
gram" he went on, further assist
ance on our part will be required.
AS soon as it is possible to deter
mine what each nation will need
to do" Truman said, he will ask
Congress "for such funds as are
shown to be necessary to the at
tainment and maintenance of our
common strength at an adequate
level"
"The free world has made it
clear" he said, through the I'M
tied Nations, that lawless aggress-
ion will be met with force. This is
the significance of Korea-and it
is significance whose Importance
cannot be over-estimated."
Of Formosa he said the United
States "has no territorial ambi-
tions," wants no special privilege
or position, and that "the present
naturalization is without
to political questions af-
fecting that island" Its future
must be settled by peaceful means
under the UN charter, he said.

II. s. Not Ready Militarily
Green said that the United States
was not ready militarily for the
duty ahead. While Russia pressed
its armament program we stop
ped war plans and preparedness
with the peace and now find our
selves facing a situation with the
implications of a third world war"
"To all-out strategy for world
peace, we must add all-out prepar-
edness for any eventuality," Green
continued. "We cannot send our
soldiers to the fighting front with
out training equipment and regu-
lar supplies. We must provide
quick transportation which will in
crease mobility.
"Above all else we must put back
of this supreme effort unity Of pur-
pose and the constructive coopera-
tion of every group of citizens.
For preparedness for front-line
service and for the safety of our
civilian population at home and at
work, every able bodied citizen
must find his responsibility and
make good. There will be no side
lines secure from bombing.
"There must be mobilization
of labor. Our unions are ready
and competent to cooperate in
that responsibility as free
citizens should"
Emphasizing the vital import
ance of giving the citizens the facts
of present needs, the AFL chief
said:
eve need the facts in order that
we can best help our cause. We|
need to know the gravity of pre-
sent need so that we can help to
get action. If war is localized now
we know it is only a question of
time until the inevitable happens.
Only adequate preparedness can
safeguard US. AS we move toward
preparedness we urge our govern
ment to provide adequate means to
get the truth to all nations and
keep them constantly informed. All
groups Of citizens can help if given
opportunity"

Man Murdered
Over Woman

After terroriZing pedestrians all
the way from 18th and East Wash
ington street to the police station,
by speeding through traffic and
swapping a gun Robert Butler
gave himself up for the killing of
Henry Clay last Wednesday at 1886
East Washington.
The shooting took pace as a
result of an argument which But
Ter and Clay had over Rose Jones,
who claimed to be the wife of
neither.
Miss Jones was questioned by
the police after the shooting and
stated that she had been living
with Butler, but moved in with
Clay Tuesday. She also said Butler
left Clay's house Tuesday morn
ing and returned the same day
about 1920 am. and summoned
her. She stated Butler told her
he had brought her clothing and
they were out in his car, and that
she would have to go out and get
them.
Miss Jones related that as she
was approaching the car, Butler
met Clay just as he stepped out
the front door. They began in a
scuffle, she added then she heard
a shot, and she saw Clay fall.
Miss Jones stated she ran into
the house and Butler chased after
her. He stuck the gun in her back
but the weapon jammed, then she
was ordered to get in the car.
Then the wild ride from 18th and
Washington to the police station
began.

WHIRL
By the NNPA News Service

By the NNPA News service
Female doctors and specialists
will be commissioned in the Medi-
cal Service of the Army and Air
Firce. Congressional action to
authorize their appointment is be-
ing completed.
The commissioning of female
doctors and specialists is to pro-
vide a degree of relief to the
Army and the Air Force for their
present shortage of medical, dem
tai and allied specialist personnel.
Under the terms of the Women's
Armed Services Integration Act OF
1948, commonly called the Wac
Wave statute, it is possible for the
Navy to appoint qualified women
physicians, dentists, and other
specialists as officers in the var
ious corps of the Regular Navy.
Women physicians and dentists
appointed to the Navy are subject
to the promotion ceilings pre-
scribed in the 1948 act, but they
are entitled to an additional $1OO
a month increase in pay origin
ally provided by the Army-Navy-
Public Health Service Medical Of
ficer Procurement Act of 1947,
which was continued by the Career
Compensation Act of 1949.
Insofar as the Regular compon-
ents of the Army and the Air Force
are concerned, qualified women
physicians and dentists are not
eligible for the additional pay
which accrues to male officers of
comparable professional attain
mentS.
To further complicate the situa-
ton, qualified women appointed in
the Reserve components of the
Army and Air Force, as contrasted
to the Regular components, have
been found eligible not only for
the additional pay but are also
free from the basic promotion cell
ing of lieutenant colonel.
This situation results in a han
dicap to the Army and Air Force
in their efforts to use qualified
women to relieve the present
shortage of physicians and den
lists. Although maximum use OF
qualified women would not solve
the problem of securing adequate
numbers of physicians and dentists,
the shortage is so severe that the
Military Establishment is not over
looking this source.

Arrested In Georqia

CONWAY, S. c. CNNPA)-Ar-
rests in the Ku Klux Klan probe

more arrests will follow, some as

said he "did not endorse such ac-

saying he was present at the Klan
raid on the dance hall of Charlie

which resulted in the death of

Cracks Down
On Fly Traps

"The control of domestic flies
and the diseases which they spread
can be achieved satisfactorily only
when based on a sound program of
good environmental sanitation"
DR.. James A. Dolce, director of the
city health said recently. He con-
tinued, "Most of the fly control
problems in our city are centered
around the proper storage of gar
bage, refuse, animal excrement
and other organic wastes. Because
of the nature of this problem, it
is the responsibility of the in
dividual householder and merchant
to eliminate fly sources which ex-
ist on his own premises by obtain
ing standard metal garbage con-
tainers, complete with tight fit
ting lids. If everyone cooperates
in doing this, it may solve the
community's fly problem complet-
ely and certainly lower the alarm
ing child and adult disease rate.
Beginning on Sept. 13, officials
from the City Streets Department
will canvass the entire city, red
tagging all inadequate garbage
cans and leaving notices of mis-
ing garbage cans. All persons whose
cans are so tagged will be allowed
Is days in which to obtain a stand
ard garbage container for their
premises. Police action will be
taken against all residents who do
not comply with the ruling.
