Senator Morse Opposes Blanket
Defermenfs Of Droff-Aqe Men

Washington (LPA )-The Senate
Preparedness Committee continued
hearings on the Administration bill
TO draft 18-year-olds for 27 months
Of service.
The measure would permit defer
ment of up to $4,000 students a
year for the first three years of
the program. Sen. Wayne Morse
Or, Ore.) said at the hearing Jan.
"a that "the time has arrived when
blanket deferments should be out
the window" He proposed that stu
dents be drafted and sent. % school
while in the armed forcesNHe said
the nation faces a 25-year struggle
with the Soviet Union, that "there
is a very serious possibility" that
the US can lose, and therefore Con-
gress "must do everything to make
this country economically and mill
tarily strong" Morse made his
comments after pleas from repre-
sentatives Of the dental and en-
gineering professions for defer
ments.
Mrs. Anna NJ. Rosenberg, Assist
ant Secretary of Defense, said,
"some other factors should be used
than marks on examinations" in
picking students for deferment, but
would not specify. She did plead
for student deferments TO prevent
what happened to the British in
World War | when the "cream" Of
Englands youth was killed in SER
vice.
Mrs. Rosenberg promised that
18-year-olds would have adequate
training" before being sent into
combat. Asked by Rep. Clyde Doyle
I'd, CALI whether it wouldn't be
better to take veterans who had no
combat service, regardless of their
marital status, she said $500, 600
veterans would have to be register
ed to find 10000 under 26 With
less than IL months service. Many
of those with short service were
discharged for physical reasons,
she said, and would not be eligible.
The plan to serve q months, she
said, would save the taxpayers
500, 100000 year, as against thel
21-months plan, and would meanI
90 percent more effective service.
With training, leave and travel
time deducted, she said, even underI
the 27-month plan, an inducteeI
would serve only Is months in theI
far east.
Mrs. Rosenberg refused to argueI
the merits of proposal by Rep.
Leslie c. Arends Or, ILL., to cutl
out the 40-hour week in defense in
dustry and government service andI
to cut annual and sick leave. SheI
dld promise there would be mol
waste of manpower in the armedI

ments, and in shipyards, depots and

Ohio Sfote Federation Of Lobor
Legislative Program

\ Most of the legislative measures
authorized by the convention OF
? the Ohio State Federation of Labor
and through other channels have
been prepared and are being sub
mitted to the legislature.
In the meantime, the state office
is at work on an ANALYSIS of the
various measures which we are
sponsoring or supporting, as well
as those we are opposing.
Federation Bills introduced
The following bills, forming a
part of the Ohio State Federation
of Labor's legislative program,
have been introduced.
H. B 100 (Messrs Hunt Germ
heuser)-To enact a supplemental
section to the General Code rela-
tive to the right of government
employees to join with labor
unions.
This measure would permit
State, County and Municipal En-
ployes to join labor unions and ex-
tend to them the right of collec-
tive bargaining.
II. B. la (Mr. Butz)-To repeal
sections of the General Code rela-
tive to the disciplinary action in
cases of strikes by persons en-
ployed by the state of Ohio or any
political subdivision thereof, or in
any other branch of the public
service.
Passage of this measure would
repeal the Ferguson Act, which
sSbecame law on September 30, 1947.
The Ferguson Act provides that
no state, county, township or other
public employe, including school
teachers, can strike. If they should
strike, no matter what the griev-
ance, they are discharged. The act
contains other harsh penalties.
The Ohio State Federation of
Labor holds that this legislative
decree forbids government en-
ployes their fundamental rights as
American citizens and should be
repealed.
H. B. 129 (Mr. Joyce)-To define
the jurisdiction of the courts in
cases involving labor disputes, and
for other purposes.
This bill defines and limits pow
ers of the courts to issue injunc-
tions in labor disputes.
H. B. 130 (Mr. Joyce)-To pro-
mote equality of bargaining power
between employer and employee, to
diminish the causes of industrial
disputes by encouraging collective
bargaining.
Other Bills of Interest to Labor

the General Code to increase the

In Polio Fight

New York City 0LNS).-Thre,
great national branches of organ
lied labor, the American Fedora
tion of Labor, the Congress of In
dustrial Organizations and the rail
way unions have now pledged theil
full support to the 1851 March Of

nor by William Green, president OF
the American Federation of Labor
Philip Murray, president of the
CIO, and George E. Leighty
chairman of the Railway Labor Ex-
ecutives Association.
"May / assure you," declared
Green, chat we in the American
Federation of Labor, have very
keen perception of the responsible
tiles placed on the National Found
alton for Infantile Paralysis as a
result of the record outbreaks of
polio. We appreciate the excellent
services of the Labor Service Di-
vision the local chapters of the Ma
tional Foundation. Our members
and their families stricken with
polio are the chief beneficiaries of
your program"
Murray wrote: Gas in past years,
| will request that every member
of the Congress of Industrial Or
ganizations contribute to the March
of Dimes. Our membership reco-
gnizes the responsibilities of the
National Foundation in the wide
spread outbreak of polio. Your ex-
cellent care and treatment pro-
gram, in addition to the vast re-
search program to determine the
cause and control of this problem,
deserves our wholehearted sup
port"
Representing Americas railway
labor unions, Leighty declared:
ave are solidly behind you in the
gallant, nationwide war you are
waging against this dreadful dis
ease. We are keenly aware of what
the chapters of the National Foun-
dation have done for our members
and their families who have been
afflicted by polio"
Welcoming the support of organ
lied labor, O'Connor replied in a
message to the leaders:
"The nation is now emerging
from the second worst polio epid-
emic in its history. During the last
3 years we have suffered the 81
severest outbreaks Of the disease
on record and more than 100000
children and adults have been at-I
lacked. Four out of 5 people strick-
en needed and received help froml
,he March of Dimes.
'In the 13 years of the National
Foundations existence" O'ConnorI
added, "the cost of patient care
alone has been $102,000,O00 and
hese costs are mounting daily. To
,ear the ever-increasing burden of
patient care and to wage full-scale
scientific warfare against the dis
,ase itself, we must raise at least
;50,000,000 this year."

Defense Secretary Marshall had
testified the day before that the

Of the 3,500,O00 current military
goal, and Vinson estimated il
would take about 100000 new men
year to maintain that goal once
it is reached.
Only alternative to drafting 18-
year-olds, said Vinson, is to take
family men or veterans. His figures
showed 2,862, ,969 exempt as veter-
ans; 1,615,637 classed At or ex-
pected to be put in At after ex-
animation; 1,184,893 deferred for
dependency and 633,713 because Of
their jobs. Total deferments and
exemption came to 6,324,908, he
said.
Later the Defense Department
presented charts showing needs
could be met from the present 49,
25 pool but the Safety margin"
would be only 411,000 on June 30,
and Draft Director Lewis Hershey
has testified he wants a margin Of
100000 for safety.
The National Education Associa-
ton opposed the bill to draft 18-
year-olds, arguing it would strike
a heavy blow at the nations educa-
tional system and economy. It's
spokesman disputed the argument
that Is is the best draft age be-
cause it would least interrupt a.
youths educational life.

Contractors Fight
Wages, Not Russia

Aiken, S. c. (LPA)-Local con-
tractors aren't worried about the
war with Russia-they're carrying
on a private little war all their own
against American workers and
American wage scales.
Trouble started when the US
directed Dupont Co. to erect huge
new H-bomb plant here. More than
10000 skilled and unskilled crafts
men will be imported and, in line
with past policy established under
the Bacon-Davis act, the union
wage scale must be paid.
Both the Government and Du-
Pont are willing, but local plant
owners and building contractors
are pulling more wires than a
troupe of puppeteers in an effort
to make the US 'force" workers
who come here work for non-union
wages.
r. E. Fulmer, of Columbia, S. c.,
is head Of contractors group
leading the fight, and C. P. Street
Of the Charlotte contractors asso-
citation declared that freezing con-
struction in other parts of the
country would force workers to
come here.
Joker is that most Of the actual
construction work will go to big
out-of-state construction concerns
with the know-hoW to get the job
done. Local industry groups, how
ever, are apprehensive as to what
would happen if local workers "get
a taste" Of real wages. They also
fear the wiping out of the Negro
white differential because union
rates just don't take color into ac-
count.

NEGRO SOLOIST CHOSEN BY
CHATTANOOGA SYMPHONY

Chattanooga, Tenn. LPA) = A

as soloist with a white-member
orchestra here. Mary Robbs, 25,
whose father works as a porter in
a barber shop here, will appear
with the Chattanooga Symphony
orchestra in a Pops" concert in
March. Miss Robbs, who studied
voice in New York, paying her way

tory, was chosen in a series of
additions. Co-winner was Walter

who desire to make regular month
ly payments can do so by estimat-
ing their average one-month bill
and paying this amount each
month. When such payments are
made, they will be credited to their
next bi-monthly bill.
Adoption of the bi-monthly bill
ing schedule will help reduce oper-
ating expenses, Mr.. Couch said.
"Costs of our operations, like in
every other business, have increas-
ed steadily the past few years and
we are striving to keep our electric
service rates as low as possible"
he explained. "In addition we have
found the new system an added
convenience to our customers"
The same billing plan is in effect
in several other Ohio Power ter
ritories.

wanted at least four children,

The armed forces do not ask
