Nationwide Phone
Strike Postponed
Until February "a

Washington (LPA) - The day
before the February 8 strike dead
line, Communications Workers of
America postponed for l6 days its
nationwide walkout against the
Bell Telephone system. The move
followed a request by Federal
Mediation and Cancellation Direct
or Cyrus S. Ching for more time to
resolve the issue. Ching, in the
meantime, was tied up in the coal
dispute.
eve agree that the dispute can
be 'peaceably resolved through col
lective bargaining" said CWA
President Joseph Bierne in announ-
cling the union executive boards
decision. Claiming that Bell had
been trying to settle the dispute in
the newspapers rather than at the
conference table, Bierne expressed
hope that "Mr. Ching, through his
personal intervention and his grave
concern for the interests OF tht
public, may be successful in get
ting the Bell System to do some
real collective bargaining"
"The United States Bureau OF
Labor Statistics, the Steel Fact
Finding Board, even the Natl As
sociation of Manufacturers, al
agree that telephone wages are
low, in terms of real wages lower
than they were in 1885," Biern(
declared. "Only the telephone com

Jersey Doctors
Offer The Same
Old Medicine

Newark, n. j. NPA) = With
great fanfare, the Medical Society
of New Jersey has launched a
plan" for a cooperative health
insurance program" designed to de-
feat President Truman's national
health insurance program. Analy-
sis indicates it is the same old
medicine-health insurance admin
istered by doctors and insurance
companies, rather than consumers.
Under the New Jersey plan, gov
ernment would be asked to contrl-
butte to financing health insurance
through existing Blue Cross, Blue
Shield, or other programs, inclu-
ding those Of private insurance
companies, but control would re-
main where it is today-in private
hands, chiefly controlled by doc
tors.
One way the government would
help subsidize such plans would be
through income tax deductions
which of course would not reach
down to many Of the families need
ing such help most-the families
below the income tax level.
In one respect the New Jersey
plan represents an advance ovel
the current stand Of the American
Medical Association. 1t includes
provision for increasing the num-
ber of doctors and other profess
ional personnel through govern
ment subsidies to expand medical
schools. The ANA has been oppos-
ing a bill of this kind in Congress
and has questioned the need fol
more doctors.

plore through the United Nations
the possibility Of ar agreement
with the Soviet Union on outstand-
ing difficulties"
On the matter Of the Austrian
peace treaty, the group expressed
the hope that the UN General AS
sembly would be allowed the same
legislative authority that it had
on the question of the Italian coll
onies. In 1949, the AAUN remind
ed, the General Assembly was able
to take an effective decision on the
future Of these Italian colonies, de-
spite Russian opposition.

The board declaration took note
of the problem Of the Russian boy
colt Of the UN due to the Chinese
situation by urging that the United
States do everything possible to
strengthen the UN.
"The United States" it said,
should follow two policies in the
United Nations which are not mu-
tually exclusive. 1t should make
the UN so strong that the settle
ment Of difficulties would be under
taken within its framework. At the
same time the L. S. should make
the UN so strong that if contrary
to all efforts to maintain univer-
salty, any nation refuses to parti-
cipate, it will be able to continue
successfully without the participa-
ton Of that particular nation"

man at the White House Feb. 10 to
urge the cause Of Israel. They ask
ed Truman to urge that arms ship

Anfi-BEoc Wins
First Victory

Washington NPA)-The Celler
monopoly investigation has yielded
its first Legislative" dividends
an agreement with the Justice De
partment to report to Congress
promptly on every consent decree
settlement of antitrust cases.
This was a major triumph for
Rep. Kenneth Keating OR, N.Y.,
who found his bill to that effect
"passed" in record breaking time.
Assistant Attorney General Berg
son was called to testify on Keat-
ing's bill. He objected violently
but before the day was out he was
agreeing to do, without legislation,
just what Keating wanted.
The Celler Committee abandon
ed its hearings, and closed the case.
Chairman Celler Cd, NY) remark
ed Bergson'S agreement would
have "the effect of law" because
once the policy was established
future attorneys-ge general would find
it difficult to change.
This is a major gain for the anti
monopoly forces on Capitol Hill,
who have been highly critical of
some of the consent decree settle
ments worked out in years gone
by with the big monopolists. Under
the agreement all consent decree
settlements will be promptly re-
ported to Congress so that the pub
lie and Congress can judge wheth-
er or not they have resulted in
selling out" the public.
Bergson strongly defended the
procedure Of settling antitrust
cases by consent decrees-which
amount to court-approYed agree
ments between the Justice Depart
ment and the defendant. He said
they facilitated trial of antitrust
cases and that without them a
much bigger staff would be re-
quired to enforce the antitrust
laws even to the degree they are
now enforced.
Bergson contended that consent
judgments were settlements "in the
public interest" and not compro-
misses, as many critics have con-
tended. He said the Justice Depart
ment would not agree to them un-
less it was satisfied they were good
settlements from the public stand
point.
The Keating bill, Bergson felt,
would require such detailed reports
that it would hampre antitrust
But he readily agreed
to submit to the Committee regul-
arly all the material that goes to
the courts in antitrust settlements.

Unions Protest Ship Transfer

Washington LPA)-More than
80 pickets representing the Marine
Beneficial Assn and
three other maritime unions march
ed in front of the Maritime Com
mission here to protest the trans
fer Of six American tankers to
Panamanian registry. The five
man commission voted four to one
to allow the Natl Bulk Carriers
Corp. to make the transfer, with
Commissioner Raymond McKeough
the sole dissenter. Transfer, effec-
ted to save taxes, means the loss
of 300 jobs for American seamen,
an MEBA spokesman said. The
jobs will go to low-wage foreign
crews.

Lenders Don't Like Ideu Of
Non-Profit Housing Bill

Washington (LPA)-Leave mat
ers as they are, and you'll have
Ilenty of housing for middle in
come families, two spokesmen for
the lending industry told the House
Banking committee at coop hous-
ing bill hearings Feb. 6.
In a statement shot through with
contradictions-pointed up in ques-
tioning by Reps. Brent Spence Cd,
Ky.), Frank Buchanan Cd, Pa,
Charles Deane Cd, NC), and Chase
Woodhouse Cd, Conn. Executive
manager Oscar r. Kreutz Of the
Natl Savings and Loan League in
sisted eve are we'll ahead Of the
rest Of the world and have no need
for the additional facilities propos-
ed in this bill" How phony Kreutz's
figures really are was pointed out
by one Congressman. Kreutz had
compared housing progress" in
Europe from 1889 to 1947, when
that continent was racked by World
War II, with the US during those
same years.
He also gave figures purporting
to Show that plenty of loans are
now being made by local savings
and loan associations for moder-
ate-priced homes, to middle-income
families. H wev yer, questioning
turned up the fact that a "substan-
tial" number Of these loans were
1000 guaranteed by Veterans
Administration, rather than being
made at the risk of the investor.
Further questioning brought out
: hat what he called the average
Iloaned was a ''mid-point" in the in
dividual amounts loaned, not in
fact an average of all loans, and
therefore likely to be deceptive.
On one point, the Congressmen
were satisfied. Kreutz said he
wanted to make it clear the saw
ings and loan associations didn't
consider cooperatives "socialistic"
On the contrary, he pointed out
that many of the institutions he
represented were co-ops. Commit
tee members chuckled at the care
fully crossed-out sentence in his
testimony which had originally
said of the coop program that "we
should be most hesitant about
adopting any of the European So
cialistic housing schemes" Wher
read, it was: "we do not need to
look to Europe for new ideas or
housing"
President Lawrence A. Epter OF
the Mortgage Bankers Assn. OF
New York, Inc, said his group
Strongly opposes" the coop hous-
ing law. Both he and the savings
and loan association man concen-
trated their real fire on the pro
posal that the loans to co-ops carry
a three per cent interest rate, il
contrast with the four or five pei
cent charged for private-profit
mortgages. There is no sign that

plaintively to Kreutz that "you

Congress in encouraging home

Comment On
World Events

This column agrees with the
American Association for the Unit
cd Nations that Senator Brien Nc
Mahon's proposed Crusade for
peace" is a possible basis for
breaking Of the east-west stalemate
on control Of weapons Of mass des-
truction and Of conventional arm
aments.
IN its yearly statement Of policy
issued by the AAUN board Of dir
ectors, their 12-point program was
highlighted by a recommendation
that the U. S. government make
an immediate fresh effort, through
the United Nations, to secure an
agreement for the control Of these
weapons and conventional arma-
ments."
The AAUN, whose statement Of
policy has been forwarded to Wash
ington officials, will undertake
through its chapters, college affil-
iates and cooperating national or
ganizations, TO urge support for
this kind Of initiative toward world
wide peace guarantees. Comment
on World Events believes that the
case for the proposed action is set
forth convincingly by the AAUN,
which is an educational organiza-
ton devoted exclusively to building
Of support behind the United Ma
tions.

letes as Dave Krupp, Bill Bel
shaw, Harold Masing and Bill
Fritz are able to sparkle in al
most every sport but some stu
dents could earn letters in base
ball whereas they might never
make the grade in other sports.
We do not feel that participation
in baseball would conflict too much
with track activities, schedules
should be arranged so that such
conflicts could not occur. With
the athletic field available for ball
games, expenses should not be
exorbitant and we feel the cost
would be entirely worth while in
building stronger youths. Base
ball is the American favorite and
should be included in every schools
athletic program. Swimming is
another sport which would be
popular here, but with no indoor
swimming pool in the city, it's out
of the question. Wouldn't it be
wonderful if some millionaire
would build an indoor pool for the
city? We couldn't think of a
more magnanimous gesture which
would benefit more people, Any
takers?
