Sixty year-old w. F. Peterson
Of Baltimore admitted being a
backer of the Young Democrats, a
group numbering IL at the most.
The Young Democrats had nothing
to do with the tabloid's contents,
he said.
Frank Smith, then chief editorial
writer of the Times Herald and
now Buffers administrative assist
ant, admitted he was editor of the
tabloid, which was called "From
the Record" He said he obtained
material from McCarthy's office
and did little "editorializing" of
his own. But Garvin K. Tankersley,
then assistant managing editor of
the Herald and now on loan
to the Chicago Tribune, thought up
the composite" picture, Smith
said.
Tankersley said he wanted to IL
lustrate Tydings thanking Browd-
er for testifying on the Mccarthy
charges last year, had Times
Herald artist make the composite
in which Browder had to be "re-
versed" to create the effectA Smith
said the sole reason for the COM
posite was to save space, by MAX

Oil Firms Profit
Called Moderate

New York (LPA)-They're new
er happy. Cities Service Co. made a
near record profit in 1850, although
it paid $13,175,000 more in taxes
than it did in 1949. Nevertheless,
w. Alton Jones, its president, call
ed for a halt on federal controls.
"Any further direct or indirect tax
burden" said Jones, "is bound to
dull incentive and slow down the
search for new petroleum"
The oil industry gets what is
known as depletion allowance" !"
which means that oil firms deduct
271a percent of their earnings each
year before they begin to figure
what they owe Uncle Sam.
Cities Service and its subsidiar-
les had net profits of $50, $4,000
in 1850, against 5,057,82 in 1949.
Doesn't sound too good? Hold it..
Net profits of Cities Service alone
in 1850 were 32,359,138 against
26,348,612 in 1949, a gain of
roughly % percent. What happened
was that Cities Service had drop
of Sc million in net income from
it's electric utility subsidiaries.
And that was because Cities Ser
vice had to sell its stocks in these
affiliates in compliance with the
Public Utility Holding Company
Act.
Continental Oil set records for
gross income and sales, and paid
the largest dividends in its history.
It's net profits rose about 20 per
cent, from $35, $3.50 in 1949 to
$42, 2,406,66 in 1850.
Skelly Oil profits rose merely
from $26,186, 500 in 1949 to $685.
514,066 in 1850.
This is the way the Journal of
Commerce wrote Of the reports of
the three companies: Greater pro-
duction of oil and gas, larger sales,
and a stable price structure en-
abled petroleum companies to|
realize moderate gains in net earn
ings last year despite heavier in
come taxes" Thus, gains of 20
and % percent are moderate"
Parke, Davis & Co., drug firm,
increased sales 21.8 percent, but
profits went up 43.9 percent. For|
Pittsburgh Glass, sales went up 20|
percent, profits 10 percent. Decca
Records reported an increase in|
sales of 8 percent, in profits of a
percent.

Chicago Host To Greatest
Union Industries Show

The 1851 AFL Union Industries
Show-bringing to Chicago the
most graphic example of labor
management cooperation will
open it's exhibition at mammoth
Soldier Field on May Is. The nine
day Show will continue through
May 26.
Host of this years Show is the
Chicago Federation Of Labor. Dir
ector Ray F. Leheney has asked
William Lee, the president of that
large central labor union, to assist
him in making the 1851 Show sur
pass all the past five AFL exhibi-
tions in size, attendance and var
iety of exhibits and entertainment.
Almost every AFL union will
join with it's respective industry
in bringing to the Show expert
craftsmen and an outstanding dis
play of consumer and capital goods
as we'll as on-the-spot demonstra-
tions of services. Emphasis on ex-
hibitors' whole hearted support and
harmony in the nations defense
effort will be added to the normal
theme of good relations between
labor and management.
In the huge exhibit halls under
the collonades that distinguish the
eastern and western tiers of seats
at Soldier Field, will be the more
than-a-mile of display booths. In
the Green Aisle, named for Pres
ident William Green of the A. F.
of L.; and in the Gompers' Aisle,
commemorative of the labor or
ganization's founder, some 400
manufacturers will be given op-I
portunity to display their products
to an estimated million spectators.
The huge union representation,
and the industries whose plants
they man, will fill the exhibit
with displays running the gamut
from tacks to trailers.
"No place else in the world could
such a sensational exhibition take
place." said Director Ray f. Le-
heney. He added, sit is superb
example of how free trade unions
join with private industry under
our free enterprise system"

enough to enable adequate protec-
tion for a wage-eamer's family
would cost typically about S100-
$3.50 year for $A 600 Of cover
age. Of course, every man may not
have to carry that much (and as
his children grow older he can
plan to gradually reduce his Gov
erage). Many union contracts now
include some life insurance, and a
man may also have some savings
or other assets. But most working
families still need close to $4,000
Of insurance and some larger
and/or very young families may
need even more.
Railroad VS.. Social Security
Pensions
Rail workers are covered by the
railroad retirement system and,
like government workers under
federal, state, or municipal pen
sion plans, still don't come under
Social Security. However, the Rail
road Retirement Act provides that
in case a deceased wage-earner had
worked under both Social Security
and the railroad system, his fam
ily's benefits would be based on
the combined earnings.
This sometimes enables persons
otherwise ineligible to qualify
under either one of the plans, and
in some cases has increased fam
lily benefits. Whether a claim by
a family Of a deceased wage-earn-
er who had been under both sys-
TENS should be filed with the So
cial Security office or the Rail
road Retirement Board depends onI
how recently the man had worked
for railroad. If the man has a
current connection with a railroad
or had been getting a railroad pen
sion at the time Of death, the rail
road board generally has jurisdic-
ton. However, each case must bel
reviewed individually, and inquiries
about such claims can be made at
either the nearest Social Security
office or an office Of the Railroad
Board. Before the in-I
creased Social Security payments
went into effect this year, pay
ments under the railroad system
had been higher, but that's not
so any longer.

Propose Statute
Plot Be Named
'Golnpers Square

Washington LPA)-On an un-
named triangle formed by the
juncture of Massachusetts avenue
and Tenth ST., NV, is group o.
bronze statuary surrounding the
seated figure of Samuel Gompers-
first and for SO years president Of
the American Federation of Labor.
AFL national headquarters are z
block away.
John Herling, editor Of Johr
Herling's Labor Letter, has pro
posed that the plot be named
Gompers Square. In a letter to
LPA Herring wrote: an recogni-
tion of Gompers' significance as a
world figure and the relationship
that Washington as a community
has to the rest Of the world, woulC
it not be appropriate that the un-
named triangle on which the Comp
ers statue is located should be
given the name of the man who
gives it its special character 2"
In thus honoring a great Amer
ican, says Herling, "we would find
that most Americans, our friends
across the sea, and to the south of
us, would want to join in the tri-
butte" He adds that in addition tc
labor and civic groups, local and
national, the Senate and House
District committees and the Dis
trict Commissioners themselves
would be interested in speeding
creation of "Gompers Square" :"

Anti i-TYdings Tdbloid Was
Senator McCdrthY's Ided

Washington LPA) - How that
ktabloid newspaper called "scurril-
Dous" by ex-Sen. Millard Tydings
got into the Maryland senatorial
campaign last fall was explained to
Senate subcommittee by Mrs
Ruth Mccormick Miller, editor of
the Washington Times-Herald.
Sen. Joe Mccarthy OR, Wis
suggested it, Mrs. Miller told the
Senators March 13. The subcom-
mittee was investigating a COM
plant by Tydings, a Democrat and
24-year Senate veteran who was
defeated for reelection by John
Marshall Butler, a Republican un-
known.
Mrs. Miller is niece of Col.
Robert r. Mccormick, owner of
the Times Herald and the Chicago
Tribune. After the elections, Nc
Cormick took credit for Buffers
victory. His niece said she and her
husband contributed $1,000 to the
Butler campaign, $4,000 of it in the
form of a loan for which repay
ment wasn't expected.
Here's how the tabloid got go
ing, the youthful Mrs. Miller said.
Sen. Mccarthy telephoned her one
day to ask whether the Times-Her-
aid could produce such a paper
which he said group was inter
ested in putting out. Later Mrs.
Miller informed either Mccarthy
or Butler headquarters that the
project could be handled and sub
mitted estimates. From then on it
was up to her staff, she added.
The tabloid came out in the CAM
paign's closing days. 1t contained
the now famous composite" photo
graph of Tydings and former Com
munist leader Earl Browder in a
chummy pose. 1t also contained
other material which Tydings
branded "a tissue of lies" and sug-
gested might be the basis of libel
suits.
Although the photograph was
labeled Composite" it's caption
didn't define the meaning of that
technical term for the benefit of
Marylanders who might not be
familiar with it. CA composite pic
ture is made by cutting out two or
more pictures, pasting them to-
gether and photographing the re-
sult.)
Main theme of the whole paper
was the Mccarthy contention that
a Senate group headed by Tydings
"whitewashed" the Wisconsin Re-
publican's charges that there were
communists in the State Depart
ment. Browder appeared before the
Tydings committee, but Mccarthy
insisted the ex-head of the Ameri-
can Communists was treated with
kid gloves.
The tabloid, for which the Times
Herald charged $1440 including
overhead and profit, was sponsor
ed by Young Democrats for But
Ter, the subcommittee learned.

Trainmen Return
Tickets To Boyle

Cleveland (LPA)-There will be
5000 guests at the April Ia Jeff
erson-Jackson Day dinner in Wash
ington, d. C.-but officials of the
Brotherhood of Railroad Trainmen
will not be among them.
The BRIT has returned tickets to
the $100-a-plate dinner to William
M. Boyle, Jr., Democratic National
Committee chairman, with ere
grets." 1t is the first real break
with the Administration since the
Brotherhood's late president A. T..
Whitney threatened to use the
unions treasury to defeat Pres
ident Truman. That dispute was
patched up, however, and Whitney
was the only nationally known
labor leader to speak for Truman
at. the Democratic convention in
Philadelphia. Later he barnstorm-
ed the West Coast with Vice
President Barkley calling for "a
new Congress, not a new Pres
ident."
The White Houses handling of
the two-year old negotiations be-
tween the railroad unions and car
riers-handling which the Train
men regard as "bungling"-has
once more caused a break between
Truman and the BRIT.
w. p. Kennedy, successor to
Whitney, and other rail union
chiefs have been particularly bit
ter over Truman'S condemnation of
their rejection of Dec. II tenn
porary agreement. They say they
were pressured into a "memoran-
dunn of agreement" which every
one knew had to be ratified byl
their membership, but the Pres
ident publicly charged them with
"acting like bunch of Russians" II

BroWder Cleared
OF Contempt OF
Congress Charges

Washington (LPA)-Earl Brow
der, once head Of the Communist
Party in the US, is not guilty of
contempt Of Congress. US Judge
F. Dickinson Let's so ruled in
granting Browder's plea for ac-
quittal.
Browder was cited for contempt
Of a Senate Foreign Relations sub
committee which investigated the
charges by Sen. Joseph R. Nc
Carthy (R, Wis., of Communist
infiltration of the State Depart
ment. Browder refused to answer
16 questions put by Sen. Bourke
B. Hickenlooper Or, Iowa. last
April 27, but did answer 140 to $50,
with no attempt to evade the con-
sequences Of the information i'm
parted" said Judge Let's. When
Browder did refuse, Let's said, he
gave specific objections and ex-
plantations. Browder had refused to
answer whether he knew a number
Of individuals, including Harry
Bridges, president of the Commun-
ist-d 0 m i n at e d Longshoremen's
Union.
Browder conducted his own de-
fense, and summoned six Senators,
but only Mccarthy accepted SER
vice of a subpoena. 1t was Nc
Carthy who had insisted Browder
be cited. Mccarthy testified Brow
der Showed complete cooperation"
with former Sen. Millard E. Tyd-
ings Gin the conduct Of OperationI
Whitewash." Mccarthy said Brow
der answered the questions Tyd-
ings wanted him to answer and re-
fused to answer the questions Tyd
ings didn't want him to answer.
The governments sole witness,
Edward P. Morgan, chief counsel
Of the Senate investigating COM
mittee, said Browder was called
in, at the instance Of Mccarthy, t0I
answer earlier testimony by Louis
Budenz, former Communist, Nor
gan admitted Budenz' testimony
was hearsay. When Browder asked
if the committee ever considered
citing Budenz for perjury, Morgan
said mo"
The Daily Worker, the Commun-
lists mouthpiece, showed no SYM
pathy for Browder in its accounts
Of the trial. Browder once guessed
wrong on party policy, and was
banished.
Elsewhere on the subversive
front:
The Communist Party won a de-
lay IN its fight to keep from hav-
ing to register under the McCarran
activities control act. A |
three-judge federal court gave the
party a delay to March % so it'll
could carry its case to the Supreme
Court. The Communist party in
SiSts the law is unconstitutional.
The US Supreme Court refused
10 consider an appeal by Alger Hiss
from his conviction on perjury, in
denying he gave government sec
rets to Whitaker Chambers, whenl
he latter was a Communist cour-
er and Hiss was a State Dept. en-
1loye. Hiss was sentenced to five
years.
