Bill Would Deny
nLRB Benefits To
Newspaper Guild

Washington LPA)-Rep. Rich.
ard B. Vail OR, Ill., doesn't think
newsmen or women should belong
to a union. He has introduced a bill
to deny to the American Newspaper
Guild the benefits Of the Nationa
Labor Relations Board.
Vail said a reporter could not
deal impartially with a labor or
ganization of which he was a mem
Der, so he would forbid the NLRE
to hold collective bargaining cleo
tions or issue unfair labor practice
complaints for any union which in
cludes writers, reporters, cores
pondents or commentators. He said
his bill "would avoid the possible
slanting CT news by reason Of al
alliance with labor organization
and would "avoid a suspicion OF
slant in the mind Of the reader
Wallis bill would apply to the Guild
or similar organizations of persons
directly involved in the gathering
or presentation Of news"
The hoary argument that Vail
makes of possible bias because of
Guild membership, Guild officials
pointed out, was raised to oppose
formation of the Guild II years
ago. Guildsmen said that in all the
years since, not one publisher has
ever been able to present proof
that any Guild member ever slant
ed a story because of his union
membership. Most publishers long
ago ceased even trying.
Vail is chairman Of the board of
the Vail Manufacturing Co., max
ers Of steel products. He served in
the 80th Congress, was beaten by
Barrett O'Hara for the 8lst and
defeated O'Hara to enter the
Sind. He is a follower of the Chic
ago Tribune line. The Trib, "The
Worlds Greatest Newspaper" also
backed Everett DirEsen for the
Senate against Scott Lucas last
fall. Col. Robert Mccormick, the
publisher, is still fighting King
George, and thinks he has a copy
right on patriotism, as some OBJ
servers put it.

0Ieo And Butter
Both Melt As
Hearing Gets Hot

Salem, Oregon (LPA)-It got so
hot in the hearing room that the
butter melted and mixed with the
margarine, which had melted too.
At least, that's the way it seem
ed to some of the observers who at
tended the State Senate's Agricul-
ture Committees hearing on bill
to allow colored margarine to be
sold in Oregon stores. The argu-
ment was not only hot but heavy.
Consumers favored the bill, in
troduced by Sen. Dick Neuberger
of Portland, nationally known
liberal journalist. Most impressive
witness was State Rep. Maurine
Neuberger, the Senator's wife, who
showed committee members what
nuisance it is to have to color
your own margarine.
Who was against the bill? The
dairymen! The man from the Ore
gon Dairy Manufacturers Associa-
tion said no margarine was made
in the state while dairying is big
business, producing lots of wealth.
Another man said people just color
margarine to make it look like but
ter. A third admitted dairymen
actually colored butter-sometimes
but "only to maintain the stand
ard; not to initiate some other pro-
duct" Others insisted that dairy
men paid a lot of taxes, that color
ed margarine would ruin Oregon.
Now, really, said Mrs. Neuberg-
er-or words to that effect. She ex-
planned that coloring margarine
took a lot of valuable time. She
could use the time for other pur-
poses if she could buy the margar-
inc already colored, she insisted.
Some of the committee seemed i'm
pressed.

|of GAINESVILLE. The Philo Plant is
largest in Ohio and one Of the prin-
cipal power producers in the United
States.
Ohio Power selected the site
near McConnelsville for it's new
plant due to ample coal and water
resources and its location with re-
spect to the company's transmits
ion network.
Building of the new plant will
considerably enhance Ohio Powers
area from an industrial develop
ment standpoint.
In addition to the Philo plant,
Ohio Power is served by two major
generating plants on the Ohio

Materially put into effect a l212

Report Shows
Big Boys Gyp On
Income Taxes

Washington (LPA) - The mar
was polite, and spoke of "margir
of error" but in plain terms, what
he was talking about was that it's
the big boys gyp the government
on taxes.
George j. Schoeneman, Commiss.
ioner of Internal Revenue, told the
House Ways and Means Committee
that: Seven out of every 10 tax re,
turns in the $4,000 a year or more
class do not show the correct
amount of taxes owed; those re.
porting income from business oper-
ations are wrong five out of IL
times; that he expects his office tC
collect about $1,900,000,000 this
fiscal year from persons and busi-
ness concerns who didn't pay al
they should have paid, and $1,000
100000 next year.
The margin of error was not sc
great in the returns of individuals
and business groups on under $685.
600, Schoeneman said.
Hereafter, he disclosed, his of
flee will audit every return in this
group at least once every two
years, and at the same time, the re-
turn for the previous year will be
examined. More, his office is now
segregating all business returns
"to permit a more careful scrut-
my"
OF the more than 80 million tax
returns filed in the last fiscal year,
only 4,32G,SS6 were examined, he
said, in urging that his enforce
ment staff be increased to get the
chisellers. "We are not anywhere
near the point at which additional
audits cease to be highly profit
able" he said.

Roll Strike Ends; Trundn
Calls Workers 'Russidns'

Washington.-The u. S. Army
acting under orders of Presiden
Truman, broke the "sicka strike o.
railroad workers by threatening t
discharge them unless they return
ed to their jobs within AZ hours.
This "get tough" policy followed
on the heels of a statement by Mr.
Truman at his news conference that
railroad workers, trying to VIII
their first wage increase since
1913, were acting like a bunch OF
Russians.
Later Mr.. Truman had his press
secretary issue an explanation that
the President meant only the union
leaders - the men democratically
elected by the rank and file to ne
gotiate for them-were acting like
Russians because Mr.. Truman felt
they had run out on the memoran-
dunn agreement they signed at the
White House on Dec. 21.
This memorandum had to be sub
mitted for ratification to system
chairmen, every one of whom in all
A unions turned it down.
Labor" We ky newspaper
spokesman for the rail brother
hoods, said President Truman
made a shocking attack on the A
unions" Of his clarifying" state
ment, the paper said "this added
insult to injury"
The union presidents issued the
following statement:
eve are badly shocked by the
remarks that characterized US as
Russians We have looked toward
our government to help solve the
difficulties which have developed
in this wage and hour dispute.
"The National Mediation Board
has devoted its time and energies
to assist us. Unfortunately, the eX-
act nature of the issues has not
made clear impression upon other
branches of the administration.
Our men are not lacking in
patriotism. They are firm in their
belief in American democracy.
They recently exercised their demo-
cratic rights by rejecting an unde-
sirable proposal of settlement in
open voting.
Because they have done so we
have been characterized as Rus
slams However, we recall that not
too long ago the United States
Marine Corps was accused of op-
Grating propaganda agency like
Stalin's.'
eve believe our record will, ulti-
mately, gain for us the same vindi-
cation that was earned by the Mar
ines"
The statement was signed by
Grand Chief J. P. Shields, Locomo-
tive Engineers, and by President
d. B. Robertson, Firemen and En-
ginemen; r. O.. Hughes, Conduct
ors, and w. P. Kennedy, Trainmen.
simultaneously with his attack
on the rail unions, Mr.. Truman
ordered the Army to run the rail
roads, which have been technically
in government possession since last
August.
The Army Immediately served
the age-old ultimatum of employ
ers, return to work by A p. M,
Feb. 10, or be fired" on switchmen

Expand Aluminium
Making Anderson
Tells Committee

| dSHlHSJOH kLTA - OOilS TeSS
should see to it that the US basic
aluminium industry is greatly en-
larged by supporting new "inde-
pendent" producers to compete with
the Big Three who have a virtual
monopoly, Dewey Anderson told
the House Committee on Monopoly
Power, Feb. 8.
Anderson is director of the Pub
lie Affairs Institute, non-profit
research organization sponsored
principally by the Brotherhood of
Railroad Trainmen. However, in
his testimony he emphasized he was
speaking only as private indivl-
dual. He was executive director OF
the Temporary National Economic
Committee, starting in 1899.
The national capacity to pro-
duce aluminium must be expanded
further than is now contemplated,
Anderson informed the committee
headed by Rep. Emanuel Celler o.,
N. ". Moreover, favorable terms
must be found to persuade new
comers to enter the industry, which
is monopolized by the Aluminium
Company of America (ALCOA)
plus the much smaller Reynolds
Metals and Kaiser.
At the same time, the govern
ment should maintain a stockpile
good for at least a year at all
times, Anderson said. He estimated
that 100000 tons of the white
metal" should be kept in the pile
at an investment of about 1920
million. Aluminium is the key metal
in building an air force.
Anderson said the government
should find some new sources of
cheap electric power for an ex-
panded aluminium industry in this
country before handing out new
subsidies to the Aluminium Com
pany of Canada (ALCAN, an arm
of ALCOA). A project has been
afoot to develop aluminium facil
tiles in British Columbia at con-
siderable cost to the US, but Can
adian capacity should be reserved
for post 1860 needs, Anderson said,
while we try to establish competi-
tion in the domestic industry.
"a US court has approved plan
cutting the tie between ALCOA
and ALCAN by which II dual
stockholders will divest themselves
Of their securities in one company
or the other over a five-year per-
iod. Some critics doubt that thel
plan will accomplish it's purpose.
ALCAN has received US assist
ance in the past.)
Aluminium has a long history of
concentration-or monopoly, And-l
erson pointed out, and it's essential
character wasn't much changed byI
government help during World
War III. Partly because of the con-
centration, partly because of new
demands and partly because of the
huge investment production capa-
city required, the US will be short
by 225,000 tons in 1863 and will
have substantial shortages this
year and in 1852, he said.
Sympathy for the ALCAN pro-
ject was supposed to be rooted in
orcb ipIiuid,,aIc ac SacratarV ofI
Commerce Sawyer and mobilization
czar Charles f. Wilson. In an ap-
pearance before the Celler COM
mittee Sawyer said we ought to
consider it. But on Feb. 8, Celler
himself revealed the text of a tele-
gram Wilson sent Jan. IL to the
Chamber of Skagway, Alaska, in
sisting the US wouldn't support
aluminium projects in either Alaska
or British Columbia.

Small Business Hit Hardest By
Shortages, Senofe Committee Says

Washington (LPA) = AS usual
the big guys are getting the gravy
and the small businessman is gett-
ing it in the neck, says the Senate
Small Business Committee.
The report, on material short
ages, charges that mobilization of
ficials are repeating the mistakes
Of World War II and as result,
thousands of small manufacturing
establishments are today facing ex-
tinction." The report vigorously
criticizes the National Production
Authority for the ALLEGATION orders
it has issued to date.
Mobilization Chief Charles f.
Wilson Former president of the
General Electric Co.. has frankly
expressed his preference for big
corporations. Wilson, who does not
run NPA but has a veto power
over its decisions, argues the small
fellows aren't capable of filling
big contracts, and can get in on
things through trickle-down sub
contracts from the big outfits.
An investigation Of this problem
has been promised by the newly
created House Small Business Com
mittee led by Rep. Wright Patman
Cd, Texas). Patman said his group
wants to "make sure that the small
guy gets a chance" He said it will
cooperate with and supplement the
work of the Senate committee on
shortages, priorities and alloca-
tions.
The Senate group said that "for
the second time in ten years, small
enterprise has become home front
casualty at the very time when the
instinct for survival demands the
full and shrewd employment of our
entire productive system"
1t recommended that NPA estab-
lish "at as early date as possible" F"
some general form of controlled
materials program, Including the
ALLEGATION of steel to specific end
uses, along with other critical ma
terials to insure that the quantities
of such materials not required for
defense and stockpiling purposes
will be reserved for the most essen
tial civilian purposes"
1t suggested that NPA work
more closely with the Defense De-
partment to gear cutback orders
into military requirements. per
haps the greatest single disillusion
shared by small manufacturers is
the absence of a sufficient volume
of war contracts to take up the
slack created by material shortages
and curtailed civilian production"
the committee reported. Labor has
been making similar complaints
about the lack of integration and
its disastrous effects.
Another complaint that the small
businessmen share with labor isl
that they are not adequately rep
resented on defense agencies. The
report recommended the addition
of small business representatives to
the membership of all government
al industry advisory committees.
1t urged too that the NPA staff
\.
bers recruited from large compan-
les be educated to their respon-
sibilities toward small enterprises.
Large procurement orders from
the armed forces should be split
into smaller units, it said, so that
can be spread among
more plants. 1t urged the army to
channel contracts to those indus
tries or subgroups which have been
hit hardest by cutbacks.

Ohio Power Company To
Build Super Power Plant

The Ohio Power Co. today ann
ounced it would proceed immedi-
ately with construction of new
S45,000,000 super power plant or
the Muskingum River in Washing
ton County, II miles south of Nc
Connelsville.
Initially the new plant will have
a capacity of 100000 kilowatts and
will consist of two 200,000-kilo-
watt generation units. Both units
are scheduled for completion by
June, 1853.
One of the 200,000-kilowatt units
alone will be of sufficient capacity
to supply the entire residential
electric requirements Of a city of
more than 100000 people, the COM
pany said.
Ohio Power purchased 108-acre
site for the plant in June, 1949, and
at that time did not intend to start
actual construction work for sew
eral years. However, by the end of
1850 the growth of the company's
actual and prospective power load
made it apparent that construction
of the plant would have to be start
ed Immediately.
Extensive coal acreage has been
acquired in vicinity of the plant
site, where a mining operation will
be developed to supply fuel for the
plants initial requirements.
When completed, the Muskingum
plant will be interconnected with
Ohio Powers high-voltage trans
mission network and will benefit
the entire 50-county area served by
the company. 1t also will feed the
seven-state transmission network
of the American Gas e. Electric
system, of which Ohio Power is a
part.
In addition to serving one of the
most vital defense areas in the
country, Ohio Power said, the nor
NAL demand for electricity in its
area has increased steadily since
the end of World War III. Generat-
ing facilities already have been in
creased 62 per cent since VI Day
and more than doubled since Pearl
Harbor. The new Muskingum plant
will increase Ohio Power genera
tion facilities 1880 since VI Day.
When work gets underway on the
new plant, there will be total of
100000 kilowatts of new general
ing capacity under construction on
the A. G. & +. system, all slated
to be in operation by the summer
of 1853. This will bring the sys-
TENS total generating capability
at that time to 3,780,000 kilowatts.
Work on the third and fourth
,000-kilowatt units at the $66-
million Philip Sporn plant near
Pomeroy has been accelerated to
meet an operating schedule of
June, 1851, for unit 3 and Decem-
Der Of this year for unit A. The
A. G. & +. system also has other
new plants under construction at
Lawrenceburg, Ind, and near
Charleston, w. Va.
The new Muskingum plant will
embody every modern improvement
in power generation and with 2
units will have a capacity almost
equal to Ohio Powers unit-4l5,-
C00-kiowatt Philo plant on the
Muskingum River, 10 miles south
