Cufbuck Order
Bars New Homes

New York (LPA)-Many of the
II 800 families who have bought
new houses on Long Island will
blow fuse when the full impact of
a new National Production Auth
ority order cutting back electric
service installations hits home.
The order, designed to conserve
copper because it is a vital war
material, allows the Long Island
Lighting Co. to hook up 1000 new
homes a month to its lines instead
of $500 as heretofore.
Immediately affected were $500
families who have already given
notice because they had expected
to move into their new quarters in
the next few weeks. In some cases
landlords are allowing them to stay
on, but others have sold their homes
or their apartments are already
rented. The company has appealed
to NPA to ease the order.

number, because such claims "are

Uncle Sam Needs Labor's Expert Help
For 1920 Years Fight Against Commies

Washington.-Because Moscow'S
war against the free world may
last 10 or even 20 years
Because we face a long period Of
sacrifice and hard work on the
home front
1t is essential that we organize
our effort so that those free and
voluntary institutions which are
our greatest strength may be pre-
served and may serve us now.
Thus the AFL Labor's Monthly
Survey pinpoints the problem of
making full use of our organized
labor and other voluntary move
ments in this country for however
long it is necessary to remain mo-
bilized to defeat communist ag-
gression.
The discussion is in the current
issue of the Survey which appeared
just before President Truman's
State of the Union message and in
advance of the government confer
ence with labor and industry lead
ers on wage stabilization.
The Survey said in part:
The dynamic quality of our econ
omy which has it's roots in free
alert citizens has made America
the most productive country in the
world. This will be our basic wea-
pom in fighting an enemy that
hopes to force it's tyrannical con-
trolls on all nations, and to elimin-
ate self-government throughout the
world. The people know how grave
the situation is. If labor, manage
ment and farmers are consulted
and given the facts to make clear
their duties and responsibilities,
they will do their part.
A self-governing country cannot
mobilize its full powers without
voluntary organization tn roug h
which to channel the joint efforts
of it's free citizens who are respon-
sible for economic life-whether
they are management, labor, farm
ers, bankers or consumers.
We are fortunate that depend
able voluntary organizations al
ready exist in these groups; it re-
mains only to coordinate them

year, didn't praise the commission
quite as much, but he did allow that
he "wants to cooperate with any
group that tries to put an ever
lasting quietus on Communism in
America"
Probably one of the reasons the
Senator didn't cheer is that the
shortcomings of his Internal Sc
curity Act are certain to be gone
into. His colleagues on the Senate
Rules Committee expressed their
confidence in the Nevada Democrat
by voting $4,000 for an investi-
cation by the Senate Judiciary
Committee. McCarran, Judiciary
committee head, said he also plans
to head a subcommittee "to investi-
gate administration" of his inter
nal security law and "the whole
broad question of subversion in
America" He said he wouldn't
entertain the thought" that the
Presidents committee was set up
to compete with his subcommittee.
The Justice Department forward
ed a bill to the House of Repre-
sentatives which would make it a
crime to segregate Negroes on
trains or busses or to bar them
from voting in a general or pri-
mary Congressional election.
The measure, similar to one
blocked by Southern Democrats
last year, would set up Federal
program to guarantee civil rights
to everyone regardless of race,
color or creed 1t would make
lynching and mob attacks on Ne
groes Federal crime, set up a
special civil rights department I'M
the Justice Department, and un-
mask the Ku NuX Klan.
Southerners were certain they
could block the proposed legisla
tion in the House or filibuster it to|
death in the Senate. Rep. Dwight
l.. Rogers, of Florida, suggested al
Constitutional amendment abolish
ing the poll tax. He said he wants
to accomplish" through an amend
ment what others want to do byl
Congressional action. Joker is that
Rogers idea could only becomeI
law after years, providing the leg
islatures of 36 states ratified it.

because 1--WE see no reason whatso-
ever for limiting the construction
of low-rent public housing units be-
low the amount authorized by Con-
gress." And they also urged that
public housing projects be located
on vacant sites so that present
housing need not be demolished.
Under defense housing" the
council said many of the detectives
of the recently introduced defense
housing bill were Worthwhile" but
that the proposed measure failed to
offer assurance that the housing
built in defense areas will meet
either the needs or the pocketbooks
of most defense workers families" F"
Defense housing should be started
at the same time new defense
plants are started, the council said,
and should consist of permanent
type units suitable for normal fam
lily life" As far as possible defense
housing should be built by private
builders but should be operated by
local housing authorities.
Under "credit regulations" the
council pointed out that the Feder-
al Reserve Boards controversial
Regulation X raising the down.
payment requirement on sales of
new homes had practically exclud-
ed low and middle income persons
from the market. Under "Adminis-
tration of the Defense Housing
Program" the council urged that
the present Public Housing Admin
istration be made responsible for
running the program and also
urged that the Housing and Home
Finance Agency bar the Federal
Housing Administration from play
ing ball with speculative builders.
Under Rent Control" the coun-
Gil urged that rent control legisla-
tion be enacted "for the duration"
and that the Federal Housing Ex-
pediter be authorized to impose
controls wherever a general rent
rise threatens. If necessary, the ex
pediter should be empowered to
control rents on dwellings built
since 1947, the council said. Such
dwellings aren't controlled under
present laws.

Truman Wants Reds Investigated
While Guarding Our Civil Rights

Washington LPA) - President
Truman wants to investigate Com
munists while preserving our civil
rights, the Justice Department
wants to extend some civil rights
to Negroes in the South, and Sen
Pat McCarran Cd, New wants to
Investigate" Communists right out
of America.
That's the sum result of three
moves made here Jan. %. First
and most important, was the Pres
ident's appointment of Fleet Ad-
miral Chester w. Nimitz to head a
nine-man Commission on Internal
Security and Individual Rights. Its
purpose will be to investigate Red
treason, sabotage, and espionage
while maintaining the freedoms"
of US citizens.
reation of the commission,
which Truman sharply rejected
when suggested in a Washington
Post editorial last May, is clearly
an attempt to take "politics" out
of Communist Investigations. While
he made no reference to Sen.
Joseph X. McCarthy's demagogic
charges that the State Department
was infiltrated with Communists,
Truman emphasized the fact that
the commission would be mon
partisan" and repeatedly called for
Consideration Of the rights of in
dividuals."
Truman gave the group, which
will have eight other leaders with
civil liberties experience named to
assist Nimtz, year to do their
job, but said he expects interim re-
ports.
The President noted that the ma
tion is fighting Communist expan-
sion abroad and said a similar eff
fort was needed at home. He in
structed Nimitz to concentrate on
revision of Federal laws and pro-
cedures, but also to look into prac-
tces by local and state govern
ments and private groups.
The commission will not be "an
appeals tribunal for individual
cases." but it is authorized to hold
public hearings on cases involving
Federal employees and to examine
Federal records, including FBI
files. This last is a privilege the
President withheld from a Senate
subcommittee for a long time and
then granted only in a limited
form.
Immediate praise came from Pat
rick Malin, director of the Ameri-
can Civil Liberties Union, who
said the new commission is Just
what we are looking for"
He said his organization has
recommended just such a group be-
cause while "the general condition"
of civil liberties in this country "is
very good" there are cases of i'm
fringement on the rights of free
speech and on academic freedom.

Security Act of 1850 was denoun-
ced and vetoed by Truman lastl

Today, as we all know, the
United States is again faced by an
international emergency which re-
quires the nation to mobilize its re-
sources and build up its armed
forces. This new emergency has
brought the problem Of heart dis
ease into even sharper focus. On
the basis of past experience, we
can expect that this country will
suffer tremendous losses in milit-
tary manpower and in production
of defense goods as result of the
impact of heart disease.
Consider for example what it
means for the armed forces of the
United States to be deprived of
the services of $4,000 men of
military age. Yet that is exactly
what heart disease did during
World War lit robbed our arm
ed forces Of the equivalent of
twenty-seven full strength infantry
divisions. In the years 1912 2-1945
no less than 317,500 men were re-
jected for military service because
of heart ailments. An additional
$4,000 men in military service lost
their lives or had to be discharged
because of heart disease.
This unparalleled toll affected
American males in the military age
group alone. The damage was null
tiplied many times over when the
entire population was taken into
consideration. For example,: on the
production front, it is estimated
that if the productivity lost as a
result of heart disability could be
utilized in full it would be enough
to turn out more than 100000
rifles, or more than 4,230 medium
tanks. Or putting it another way,
this lost productivity would be
enough to completely outfit and
equip eleven infantry divisions.

Rail Chiefs Rap
Company Ad For
False Statement

Washington (LPA) = Chiefs of
the four operating railroad broth
erhoods have condemned the rail
companies for publishing "false
and inflammatory" advertisements
T, claiming the Dec. 21 agreement
was valid.
The ads, headlined: "The Rail-
roads Respect-The Union Leaders
Seek to Reject This Agreement"
reproduced the tentative "memor-
andum of agreement" which the
chiefs initiated at a White House
meeting in December.
The memorandum was subject to
final ratification by the general
chairman of the rail unions, but
the companies are now seeking to
convince the public the agreement
was final.
A joint statement by the four
unions said they regard "this atti-
tude on the part of the railroads
as refusal to bargain collectively"
and proposals by the carriers to
meet to discuss only the Dec. 81
agreement are "out of the ques-
tion."
"The railroads know that the
proposal was rejected and are
simply stalling. They prefer to
berate their employees in public
statements instead of sitting down
and bargaining with them," the
unions said.
Since being recalled to Washing
ton on Jan. II, the chiefs of TIL
unions have met daily with the Ma
tional (Railway) Mediation Board.
The board has also met with COM
pany negotiators and joint meet
ings will be held shortly.

under the Defense Administration
so that a united effort will result
to get out defense equipment with
all speed and to maintain the life
and welfare of our nation.
Such coordination can easily be
accomplished, as AFL President
Green has suggested. He proposes
that defense authorities consult
with joint committees composed of
representatives from management
labor, farm and other organiza-
tions, and that these committees be
responsible (D to cooperate in
formulating defense policies, (2) to
mobilize their membership for COM
pliance and maximum effort.
By providing for such joint COM
mittees at national, industry and
plant levels and by arranging for
periodic meetings with factual in
formation on developments and re-
ports on compliance, this voluntary
organization could become the basic
force for effective action on the
home front in the years ahead. Free
men will find the best way when
they have the facts before them
and an organization through which
they can participate.
So far the administration has
failed to make full use of organ
lied labor's advice, experience and
willingness to help.

The fight against heart disease
was originally motivated by the
belief that the tragic death toll Of
more than 100000 Americans g
year should be reduced for the sake
of human well-being, just as medi-
cal science has virtually eliminated
the dread scourges of smallpox ano
bubonic plague. The basic humanit-
arian desire to save human lives
that are needlessly lost is still with
US. But it is supplemented and re-
inforced by the urgent need to
strengthen our defenses and our
economy.
1t is no exaggeration to say that
heart disease is an enemy within
our gates that must be brought
under control to keep our nation
strong.
The American Heart Associa-
ton, which has been leading the
fight on heart disease, is asking
for $8,0O0,000 as the minimum sum
needed to carry on its functions.
With these funds the Association
will be able to continue its efforts
to discover the still unknown causes
of rheumatic fever, high blood
pressure and hardening of the
arteries, the three ailments which
account for 80 percent of heart
damage. At the same time the AS
sociation will carry on it's educa-
tional work and will continue to
offer multitude of community
ervices designed to aid heart vic
tins, who are estimated to total
100000.
This program concerns every one
of US. It's success depends on the
broadest possible support. We
know that the American people will
not fail to provide that support in
fullest measure.
