Red Influence Foding In Latin
America, OIdenbroek Declares

Washington (LPA)-J. H. Old
enbroek, general secretary of the
In er ationad Confederation of
Free Trade Unions, believes Com
munist influence in Latin America
is on the run.
At a press meeting here follow
ing his return from the first hem
ispheric conference of the ICFTU
in Mexico City, Oldenbroek said
that Lombardo Toledano, "Stalin's
gauleiter below the Rio Grande," I"
has lost 95 percent of his influence
in Latin America.
He left no doubt that he thought
the establishment of the Inter-Am-
erican Regional Organization of
Workers, affiliated with ICFTU,
would complete the rout of the
Communists. Oldenbroek said three
Spanish-speaking organizers have
already been appointed and anoth-
er soon will be.
1t will be the duty of these men,
as we'll as the entire regional or
ganization, to assist in bringing
.unionism to unorganized countries.
They will move into countries on
the request of local labor leaders
and advise in organizational drives.
The cost of the new setup will be
met by per capita payments by
members unions, which include the
AFL, CIO, and the United Mine
Workers. ICFTU claims 81 million
members in 60 countries in the
world.
Oldenbroek explained the walk
out from the Mexico City confer
.ence by Fidel Velasquez, head of
,Mexico's Federation of Labor, by
saying there had been "a differ
ence of opinion" concerning "a few
things they wanted to do"
One of these things" was an
attempt to give the floor to Luis
N. Moromes, Mexican textile union
leader. The move was voted down
6 to l, as Morones had not been in
vited to the conference because Of
his left-wing reputation.
The other ching" was an at
tempt to seat the tate-controlled
delegation from Argentina. Olden-
brock said the Mexicans argued
they didn't care for Dictator Juan
Peron's hold on the unions, but that
the ICFTU should admit the dele
cation because, after all, they're
still union members"
The ICFTU leader pointed out
the word "free" in the organiza-
tion's title and said it meant just
that-that it would have no rela-
tions with any union not really
free. He amplified this further byl
saying that no matter how much
US policy "softened" toward Spain,
unions there could not be recogniz-
ed. IF anything" Oldenbroek said,
"we'll treat Franco worse than
Peron."
He thought there was ga good
chance" of regaining the Mexicans
who walked out, and also the work
ers in dictator countries. "When
Europe was overrun we didn't
write off unionism-our members
were still there and they came back
when the dictators left"
European trade union members
remember those days, he said, and
welcome General Eisenhower's mis-
sion. Oldenbroek said that While|

BUYS THEATER, WINS
STRIKE FOR HUBBY

Lima, Ohio UPA)-If you can't
lick'em, buy 'em out. That seemed
to be the view of Mrs. Rayond f
Adams, whose husband had beer
picketing the Majestic Theater here
for 30 days, while the Theatrical
Employees AFL tried to obtain a
contract.
Mrs. Adams just bought the bus
mess. Ten minutes after the deal
was concluded she signed a two
year contract with the union
granting a l5-cent raise and a cost
of living adjustment clause. The
Majestic is a small neighborhood
theater.

WORKMEN'S COMPENSATION
INSURANCE RATE LOWERED

Harrisburg (LPA) - Workmen's
compensation insurance rates have
been lowered in Pennsylvania for
both anthracite and bituminous coal
mining. The rate for occupational
disease in anthracite mining has
gone up more than ten percent,
however. For bituminous mining,
the occupational disease rate stays
the same.

Prices AT New Peak Bring
Talk Of Curbs, No Action
PAGE TWO

Washington (LPA) = One day
after government figures showed
consumer prices had reached new
high record, Defense Mobilization
Chief Charles E. Wilson spoke in
Philadelphia. While he said there
must be controls, he did not say
when or how.
whatever the causes for delay
UP to now," Wilson told the Poor
Richard Club, 1--WE must proceed
with courage, speed and fortnight
ness to adopt the controls which
will insure stability and fairness in
our civilian economy"
Before Wilson spoke, there were
reports here that the government
would soon order across-the-board
wage-price controls that could in
clude both a price roll-back to Jan.
/ and wage stabilization as of that
date. Price Stabilizer Michael V.
Disable had wanted 30-day wage
price freeze but had been over
ruled by Alan Valentine, Economic
Stabilizer.
Other reports were that the first
controls would be flexible, and
would be frightened later. Repre-
sentatives of more than a million
retail stores urged that any retail
price freeze permit them to mark
up their prices to reflect higher
costs. They wanted protection on
their margain of profit.
The National Industrial Confer
ence Board reported Jan. II that
consumer prices reached an all
time high in December, going 1.2
percent above the previous high
set in July and August 1948. The
board reported prices up for the
ninth time in the past 10 months,
with the index at 1851 percent of
the 1889 base; that is, it cost S1.68
today to buy what 81 would buy in
1889.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics
reported that retail food prices
rose IL percent between Dec. 10
and Jan. 2, and was percent above
the previous high Of July is, l948.
The BIS index was 218.9 (using
1859 as the base). Which meant
that it cost $2.19 today to buy what
81 bought in 1859. The index
was 60 percent above June 10,
1850, before the Korean war. The
BIS estimate was based on a sur
vey of so foods in Atlanta, Boston,
Chicago, Columbus, New York,
Richmond, San Francisco, and
Washington, ID. c.
Forecasting even higher prices
was the Dun & Bradstreet whole
sale food price index, which rose
two cents for the week ended Jan.
16, to $704, highest level in more
than % months. The figure was
$5.75 a year ago.
In Congress, Rep. Samuel W.
Yorty ID, Cali declared he had
"unmistakeable proof that some
retailers were hiking prices on
goods that they had in stock when
the present emergency developed.
Unless President Truman acts
"soon" to impose price controls,
Congress should make such action
mandatory, Yorty said.
A step was taken by the Fed
eral Reserve Board to head off
credit expansion in the securities
field. II ordered, effective at once,
an increase in margin requirements
on stock purchases to rs percent.
The stock market took the order
without a shudder

Informal Bloc OF
Senate Liberals
Starts ParIeys

Washington (LPA) - Foreign
policy and the defense program will
be the centers of all Congressional
thought and action. Matters not
directly connected with defense and
foreign policy will get scant con-
sideration.
That's the consensus among cap
ital observers. However, there is
still room for Fair Deal approach
and in the view of group of Sen
ators who fit the definition of Glib
eral" held by most of US it will be
necessary to do some Fair-Deal
thinking when defense and foreign
policy bills are being drafted and
voted upon.
Thirteen of these Senators, all
Democrats, have identified them
selves as a solid body. Recently
they met at the home of one to con-
slider how best they could operate
in a Senate they don't control. They
intend to schedule other meetings
and at some of their councils far
more than thirteen will be present.
From time to time, they may find
themselves joined by varying num-
bers of Republicans.
The thirteen: Lehman of New
York; Douglas of Illinois; Neely
and Kilgore of West Virginia; Ben
ton and Mcmahon of Connecticut;
Magnuson of Washington; Ander-
son of New Mexico; Green and
Pastore of Rhode Island; Murray
of Montana; Humphrey of Mime
sofa; O'Mahoney of Wyoming.
Among the Republicans who will
join them on some issues, perhaps
on many, are: Morse of. Oregon;
Tobey of New Hampshire; Aiken
and Flanders of Vermont; Ives of
New York; Thye of Minnesota and
possibly others. Moreover, there is
a group of Southerners-not the
real Dixiecrats-who will stand
with them and on basic issues of
foreign policy virtually all the
Dixiecrats will be on the liberal
side.
There won't be an attempt to-
Iegislate the Fair Deal as such. It's
strategically and tactically impos
sible. And the whole Senate, includ-
ing men of every political stripe,
is going to demand to be consulted
by the White House, the signs in
dicate. The liberals say they'll be-
as fast on the draw as Sen. Taft
when they think the President
needs a little needing.
Here's the way something could
happen. The President in his State
of the Union Message made al
guarded reference to the need for
health insurance but didn't insist
it be enacted. But suppose there
were a lot of absenteeism in de
fense industries traceable to the
inability of workers to obtain or
afford proper medical care. There
might Immediately be pressure for
a health insurance program for de
fense employees. The liberals would
be ready to seize the ball. Situa-
tions might arise in connection with
the restrictions in the Taft Hartley
act or something else which they
could act on.
There's also talk of organizing
the liberal core in the House of
Representatives. If so, a hard -driv-
ing legion of Fair Dealers operat-
ing in both Congressional bodies
will make itself felt.

Fascists Routed
Trying To Crash
ICFTU Meeting

Mexico City (LPA)-The U. S.
delegation to the first hemisphere
conference Of the International
Confederation of Free Ira d e
Unions beat back Communist-in-
spired attempt here to seat the
Argentine delegation.
The situation, stewing around for
three days, blew up like a bowl of
chile on Jan. IL when Fidel Velas-
quez, chairman of the conference,
attempted to admit the state-con-
trolled Argentine delegation. He
also tried to give the floor to Luis
N. Morones, leader of the Mexican
textile workers and instigator of
the move to invite the Argentine
labor group.
Velasquez is secretary of the
CTM Confederation of Mexican
Workers) and brought its $780,
900 members into the ICFTU just
as the conference opened here. So
enthused were the other 280 dele
gates to the conference that they
Immediately elected him chairman
of the conference.
He went clicking along like a
pair of ivory castanets until show
down time and then dropped all
pretense. He invited Morones, a
leader of leftwing disruption, to
speak. This move was beaten down
on the floor by AFL Secretary
Treasurer George Meany, who
made it plain that Morones was
neither a delegate nor guest.
Then Velasquez, whom early dis
patches had mentioned as possible
head of the ICFTU for Latin AM
erica, demanded delegates vote for
the Argentine group or he would
resign. The husky Mexican union
leader referred to the GLORIOUS"
trade unions of Argentina without
they are as much the
property of Dictator Juan Peron's
wife as is her beautiful blonde hair.
Velasquez resigned after all ma
tions except the Mexican followed
the lead of the Americans and
voted not to seat the disputed dele
cation.
Meany told the conference that
"the AFL would under no circum-
stances agree to the admission of
the Argentine delegation" He said
the AFL had consistently opposed
denying rights to|
their workers whether they were
Communists, or Fascists like Peron.
"These Argentine workers are
held in practical slavery because
their unions are not unions in fact,
but instrumentalities of govern
ment that. can we'll be placed in al
place with Hitler's labor battalions
and the so-called trade unions of
Soviet Russia" he said.
Jacob S. Potofsky, president of
the Amalgamated Clothing Work
ers, declared the conference was
for unity, "but not for unity with
totalitarianism." He said he op-
posed seating the Argentine group
because it would be compromise
of the basic principle of opposition
to totalitarianism from both left
and right.
The conference, which opened
Jan. 8 in the Palace of Fine Arts,
had delegates representing Il mill
ion workers in Canada, the US, and
most of the countries of Central
and South America. Nicaragua was
not represented because it has no
labor movement and Guatumala
was barred because its unions are
mmie-dominated. Labor leaders
in exile represented Argentina and
Santo Domingo. There were eight
CIO delegates, five AFL, and four
United Mine Workers.
