Halloween Fruit Salad
Mix 2 cups diced apple with cup
chopped celery and u cup nutmeats;
moisten with "a cup mayonnaise.
(This is a simple recipe for Waldorf
Salad). Then heap a mound of this
salad on cup of crisp lettuce and
on top of the salad place half of
canned peach, with the round side
turned up.
Put in 2 whole cloves to represent
eyes, small Glove lengthwise to rep
resent nose and strip of red apple
peeling, or strip of pimento, or a
strip of red cherry to represent a
mouth, and you have the finest Hal

your salad.
If you are entertaining, these faces
could be fixed on the peaches, and
then laid on the salad just at serving
time. Of course, any mixed fruit
salad or square of nodded fruit salad
can be used, but the one given above
is a simple one and good.

GET READY!
BY RUTH TAYLOR

The other day | came across a
homely proverb that was SO per-
tinent | cut it out to null over.
Here it is: "You can't keep trouble
from coming, but you needn't give
it a chair to sit on"
We all know the kind Of person
who seems to welcome trouble
who while bewailing it still invites
it in. You know these are the peo-
pie who enjoy poor health, who
seem to take a mournful pleasure
in talking about how bad things
are. They get sort Of cheer out of
seeing the darkest side of things
They are the ones who are always
sure the worst will happen-and
for them it does.
They are the people who always
have an alibi. There's the girl who
when asked why she didn't do more
accurate work, said it was because
she wasn't paid enough. Now she
was not only giving trouble chair
to sit on but was spreading a feast
for it. Hers was a vicious circle.
She probably wasn't paid what she
thought a good job was worth, but
unless she did a good job, it was
certain she wouldn't be paid at
ALL
There are those who face the
future by penny pinching but at
the same time squander dollars of
time, Not that Pm talking against
money in the bank. U. S. Saving
Bonds have done a lot to convert
their buyers to the Importance Of
saving. But there is something
more needed.
Don't forget that good health to
face weather is better than a silk
umbrella. And that sound prepara-
ton by education to earn a living
is the best insurance against econ
omic insecurity. The development
of earning skill is an asset in more
ways than one. The way to hold a
job is to do that job better than
anyone else can do it.
Certainly this period of world in
security is going to be difficult for
all of US, but we needn't make it
worse. We don't have to offer
trouble a chair. We can be ready
to face anything by preparing for
it-and by making ourselves in
valuable in the job we now hold.

New Conservative
Lobby Formed To
Fight Fair Deal

Washington (LPA)-A new coal
ition has been formed by business
groups, spearheaded by the real
estate and medical lobbies, to fight
the Fair Deal. It's the National
Committee to Limit Federal Taxing
Powers, and it would curb the gov
ernment's power to serve the peo-
pie by fixing an arbitrary consti-
tutional maximum on taxation.
Under the proposed constitutions
al amendment Congress could not
levy taxes amounting to more than
Is per cent of the total income re-
ceived by individuals, which at pre-
sent would mean top of about
$50, ,000,000,000 a year. Taxes now
bring in almost third more than
that.
Formation of the new coalition
was aided by some of the most con-
servative anti-Fair Dealers in Con-
gress-including Rep. Gwim Or,
N.Y. who writes column for the
reactionary Committee for Consti-
tutional Government; Rep. Curtis
Or, Neb.); Rep. Andersen Or,
Minn.) Rep. Crawford Or, Mich ;
Rep Phillips Or, Calif.); Rep.
McCulloch Or, o.; Rep. Harvey
Or, Ind.); and Rep. Saylor OR, Pa.)
Prominent figures in the new
movement include such lobby lead
ers as Herbert U. Nelson, of the
Natl Association of Real Estate
Boards, and Joseph S. Lawrence,
Washington lobbyist for the ANA.
The organization meeting had 20
representatives from the real
estate and building industry; "a
spokesmen for other kinds of busi-
ness; A doctors prominent in the
ANA, and lawyers. Other groups
represented included the Property
Owners Assn, Conference of Small
Business Organizations, National
Tax Equality ASSN, Gold Standard
League, Southern States Industrial
Council, Mid-Continent Oil and
Gas Assn, and the American Re-
tail Federation. These are some of
the most conservative lobbies reg
istered with Congress.
Congressional Quarterly, an in
dependent research organization,
has rounded up recent statements
by leaders of the groups represent
ed in the new lobby, indicating they
have been calling for coalition of
lobby groups to fight Socialism"
The groups represented in the
new lobby have millions of dollars
at their disposal. The ANA alone
has raised about $5,000,000 fo1
lobbying within the past two years
and some of the others are among
the top spenders for lobbying and
propaganda purposes.

land Cd, Ariz.) confirmed this,
and said that because of the
squeeze he would support Kerr's
bill.
Claims that prices to present gas
users wouldn't go up were answer
ed by Douglas. Kerr, Sen. Schoep-
pei OR, Kans.) and others claim
that present contracts would stay
in effect and therefore prices
couldn't rise. Douglas pointed to
four ginlmicks in the contracts
which can be used by producers to
force the consumers at the other
end of the pipelines to cough up
higher prices. Present contracts
are being renegotiated constantly
and prices being increased; "most
favored nation" contracts now pro-
vide that if other producers sell
gas at higher prices, they auto
matically go up ON existing agree
ments; and companies with exist
ing contracts will refuse to sell
larger quantities of gas until con-
suming companies agree to higher
prices.

Mushroom Workers Urge Dewey
To Ousf Scobherding Sheriffs

Hudson, N Y. (LPA)--If the de-
putty sheriffs escorting strikebreak-
ers to the installations Of the K-B
Products Corp, mushroom growers,
aren't called off in hurry, "blood
may be spilled" the Textile Work
ers Union told Gov. Thomas f.
Dewey in telegram March Ia.
In the wire, Jack Rubinstein, the
unions New York State Director,
said the company's Hudson plant
had been turned into an armed
camp, adding that Warren Knaus,
one of K-B's owners, threatened
strikers with a revolver. employees
of K-B Products appeal to you as
their governor to put stop to
this substitution of gun play for
fair play and to remove county Of
ficers from office who are actively
scab herding for the company"
Rubenstein informed Dewey.
K-B Products is one of the
worlds largest mushroom houses.
1t employs $50 in its main plant
here and another $50 who work in
mushroom caves along the Hudson
river from Kingston to Coxsackie.
An accumulation of grievances
led workers in the main plant to
strike Jan. 81 and appeal to the
Textile Workers, largest union in
the area, for help. The union, whose
previous mushroom experience was
purely gustatory, rallied around
fast. With further aid from the
National Labor Relations Board
and the New York State Mediation
Service, reinstatement was won for
two discharged workers. Then the
union won a bargaining election by
103 to SO. Full operations were re-
sumed in the Hudson plant Feb.
IA.
But K-B Products hadn't learned
its lesson. Grievances among the
cave workers, including dismissal
of Leonard Fraleigh, forced a
strike in the cases March 8. The
Hudson workers followed suit when
the company fired Frank Stodolski,
who had been fired previously but
reinstated.
Now the Hudson plant "bristles
with guns, Rubinstein told the
governor, "revolvers are brandish-
ed at peaceful pickets, and county
law enforcement officers are Civ
ing aid to the company's efforts to
break the union"

Education Bill
Rejected By House

Washington (LPA)-Supporters
of federal aid to education lost
nearly all hope of affirmative ac-
ton in this session of Congress
when the House Labor Committee,
by 13 to IL vote on March Ia,
first voted to reject a federal aid
bill, and later turned down a mo-
ton to reconsider.
After closed sessions that start
ed Feb. 6, the House committee
was still tightly deadlocked when
it came to final vote on measure
already passed by the Senate,
which would have given $3O0,0CO,-
900 in grants in aid to the states
for their schools.
Voting to reconsider the Senate
bill were IL Democrats and one
Republican. They were: Democrats
Kelley (Pa.), Powell (NY), Wood
(GaD, Bailey (W. Va.), Irving
MOI, Perkins (Ky)., Howell
(NJ), Sims (SC), Jacobs Qnd.),
Burke (Ohio), Wier (Minn.); and
the lone Republican, Morton (Ky).
Against reconsideration were five
Democrats and eight Republicans.
They were: Democrats Lesinski

law, management is meeting the
Federal minimum, recently hiked

Kerr Leads Fight
In Senate For
Natural Gas Bill

Washington (LPA)-In the most
rough-and-tumble debate in the
Senate in long time, the fight
over the Kerr natural gas bill got
under way March Is. Senators
Douglas ID, Ill.,, LANCER Or, ND,
Myers Cd, Pa.), and Brewster Or,
Me- led off for those who claim
that prices of natural gas to the
consumer could run wild if the
Kerr bill passes. The measure
would prevent the Federal Power
Commission from regulating prices
charged for gas by non-transport-
ing producers.
Sen. Kerr Cd, Okla.), one of the
big oil men who would benefit if
the price of natural gas is uncon-
trolled, led the fight for the bill,
which Democratic Leader Lucas
I'd, Ill) said President Truman
would sign provided it contains a
"face saving" amendment. This
amendment would leave gas prices
Iunregulated but authorize FPC to
warn Congress if they went up
I"unduly". This, of course, it has
power to do anyway.
Senators Douglas and LANCER
warned that a price increase of
| five cents could be expected if the
Kerr bill passes, and that this
would add to the household and in
idustrial users bills in Michigan
alone more than S5,000,000.
In the two richest oil fields, 10
pipeline companies and Is nom
transporting gas producers control
three-quarters of the reserves,
Douglas said, showing the high de-
gree of concentration in few
companies. "The Independents who
will benefit from this BILL" Doug
las told the Senate, 'are not men
in overalls who sit around the
country store. They are big boys
with offices not only in Dallas and
Houston but in New York"
Sen. LANCER tangled with Kerr
and Sen. Johnson Cd, TeX.) when
he read from the hearings on the
bill an exchange between ex-FPC
member Leland Olds and Sen. Kerr.
Olds had said 81 believe the chief
proponents of S. 1893 (the Kerr
bilD are interested in higher field
prices for natural gas" Kerr re-
piled, "That will be admitted"
Amidst laughter from other COM
mittee members, Olds said thank
you" to Kerr for making the point
SO abundantly clear.
Confronted with the remark,
Kerr rushed to the well of thel
chamber and, shaking his fist
vehemently, replied that LANCER
should prove that prices would go
up. Earlier, Kerr told Sen. Salton
tall OR, Mass.) that call the pro-
ducers wants is an opportunity to
sell gas for what it's worth" He
went on to warn, though, that pro-
cucers would refuse to sell their
gas, and simply let it blow up into
the air at the wells, if they could
Mt set "a reasonable price" Texas
Kerr agreed, are re-
fusing to sell natural gas to poten-
tial consumers in Arizona unless

House Prepared
Price Cuts OF
Billion Dollars
By DONALD WOODS

Ways and Means Committee is
working behind closed doors cut
ting excise or sales taxes more
than 81 billion, as LPA forecast
weeks ago. 1t will balance these
cuts by plugging loopholes, possible
increasing death taxes, and GER
tainly raising corporate taxes from
SO to at least 40 per cent.
These cuts mean big price cuts
for consumers in few months.
They probably will be applied right
across the board to all commodities
except liquor, tobacco and gasoline.
The cuts would apply to a long
range of goods from radios to tele-
phone bills to railroad tickets, to
movies, to light bulbs. 1t would in
clude some luxuries such as furs
and jewelry.
Colin STAN, Congressional tax
expert, has estimated for the com
|mittee that a so per cent cut,
across the board, applying to every
thing except liquor, tobacco, and
gasoline, would cost a little more
than 81 billion-which means a
price cut for consumers of about
that much.
Stam estimated $500 million of
this could be recovered by plugg-
ing loopholes including the nefar-
ious oil depletion allowance. Whet-
her the Committee will do this still
is uncertain, but if a couple of
Republicans break from their
party, as seems likely, it will be
done.
Even then, the Committee would
have to find another $500 million.
Most probable source is raise in
the general rate for corporate in
come from 38 to 40 or even AZ per
cent, as the President recommend
ed. Industries hit by the sales taxes
are plugging for an increase in the
corporate rates, so business is split
down the middle.
The Committee also probably
will adopt the Mills proposal to
make corporations pay their in
come taxes more currently. edit
.ors, note Nathan Robertson's col
Iumn this last week. This will bal
ance the budget, and more, for one
year-without hurting anyone.
AT its first meeting in executive
session March 13 the Committee
voted down a politically motiyated
Republican motion to cut wartime
excises without waiting to find new
revenue, by straight party vote
1910.
Instead, it adopted motion by
Rep. Eberharter Cd, Pa.) to exam
inc all excise taxes-war or pre-
war-"that are regressive, that
enter into business costs, or that
have discriminatory effects.
The Democrats charged the Re-
publicans with "recklessly and ir-
responsibly" adding to deficit fin
and further unbalancing the
budget. They agreed to try to re-
place any revenue lost from excise
cuts by "closing loopholes in exist
ing tax laws, by strict enforcement
against tax cvaders, and if, neces-
sary, such other tax changes as
may be deemed feasible.
Charging the Republicans with
playing politics, Eberharter point
ed out the Democrats in l943 voted
to make the sales taxes temporary,
but they were made permanent in
the first Republican bill of the
S0th Congress.
