Congress Hearings
On Tv May Be
Debated In Court

Washington (LPA)-Can some
One refuse to testify before Con-
gressional committee because the
session will appear on television? +?
James j. Carroll, a st. Louis
betting commissioner, refused to
appear before the Senate Crime In
vestigating committee in that city
because the hearing was being tele-
vised. Sen. Estes Kefauver Cd,
Tenn.), committee chairman, re-
piled the hearing was public and
television is a medium of public
information like the press and
radio. He recommended that Car
roll be cited for contempt of Con-
|gress.
Hearings in Detroit, New Or
leans, and other cities were tele-
vised without objection, and the
American Broadcasting Co. ann
ounced plans to televise hearings
now being held in Los Angeles.
"Our position" said Richard A. r.
Moore, west coast television direc-
tor of ABC, "is that any function
open to the public should be open
to television so that a greater num-
Der Of the public can be kept in
formed on what its government is
doing"
Downey Rice, associate counsel
to the committee, said the educa-
tion of the public on the crime sit
uation Seems to be an important
part of our function, to lay the
public groundwork for appropriate
legislation"
Definitely, television is a very
effective medium over and above
what you would have from a closed
hearing covered only by the news
he said. "The newspapers
of course report hearings faithful
ly, but many people who would just
go on reading the sports pages and
the comics can be reached addition
ally by TV."

"The United Labor Policy Com
rnittee decided unanimously today
that all labor representatives of
our respective organizations serv-
ing on existing defense mobiliza-
tion agencies shall resign immed-
lately.
"We fully realize the gravity of
this decision. 1t was arrived at only
after exhaustive exploration of all
the facts and after almost contin-
uous conferences with the leaders
of our Government and of the de-
fense program during the past two
weeks.
"We have come to the conclusion
that in no other way car we effec-
lively impress upon the American
people the great wrongs being per-
petrated against them.
"On Feb. 16 we announced that
we had become thoroughly disillus-
ioned with the conduct of the de-
fense mobilization program. We
made the deliberate charge that
big business was dominating the
program, that the interests of the
plain people of this country were
being ignored and that the basic
principle of equality of sacrifice in
the national effort to protect free
dom against Communist aggression
had been abandoned.
"Since then, we have spelled out
our indictment in detail to the
President of the United States and
to the heads of agencies under him.
We have talked and we have listen
ed. After full and complete ex-
! changes of information, our origin
al convictions have been more than
confirmed.
"We are today confronted with a
price order which amounts to legal
lied robbery of every American
consumer, together with a wage
order which denies justice and fair
play to every American who works
for wages. The door. has been slam
med in our faces on the vital pro-
blem of manpower, which directly
affects the workers we represent.
We are offered the lame excuse
that on other important policies
the decisions must be made by a
Congress which is not cooperating
with the Administration There has
been no affirmative action to meet
our basic position-that equality of
sacrifice must be the guiding and
indispensable principle in the de-
fense program in order to obtain
full cooperation and maximum re-
suits.
"We have also arrived at the in
escapable conclusion that such rep
resentation which already has been
accorded to labor in defense agen-
cies and such further representa-
tion as is now offered are merely
for the purpose of window dress
ing. There is absolutely no desire
on the part of Mobilization Director
Charles E. Wilson to give labor a
real voice II the formulation of de-
fense policy.
"Under these circumstances, we

| of the ODM. That request was not
voiced merely in order to provide
job for leader of labor; it was
advanced in the hope that labor's
experience, skill and viewpoint
could help to advance the interests
of the total defense effort.
"Mr. Wilson has made it clear by
| his actions that he wants no such
broadening of the ODM structure.
He does not want suggestions or
advice from outside the ranks of
big business. 1t is amply clear to
the United Labor Policy Committee
that Mr.. Wilson does not wani
labor participation in the mobiliza
tion program; he now would acceI {
window dressing, supplied by labo.,
to cover the back-room activities Of
the leaders of industry who sta IF
the ODM. He will get no such
window w-dressing from the men and
women of American labor. Under
these circumstances, his belated
offer to appoint man from labor
on his staff is meaningless.
Conclusion
''Two weeks ago, the United
Labor Policy Committee voiced
alarm over the crisis in our defense
program. The crisis has not lessen
ed; it has become more acute.
"The road is CREASED for higher
prices. The present wage formula
will act like a wise on the aspira-
tions of Americans for decent liv
ing standards and equality of sac
rifice in the defense effort. Rents
are climbing steadily upwards while
effective rent legislation lags in
Congress. An unbalanced tax pro-
gram, which would place its heav-
lest burdens on the lower incOme|
groups, is in the process of enact
ment. Nowhere in the defense mo-
bilization program is there evid-I
ence of enlightened and militant
leadership to meet these problems,
act upon them, and help the cOun-l
try develop the strength necessary
to meet the threat of Communist
aggression.
"We of the United Labor PolicyI
Committee have voiced these crit
icisms not to impair our defensel
but to improve it. Wei
seek, actively and earnestly, AMI
effective mobilization progra m
which is imperatively required forl
the defense of our free institutions,
and of our great democratic tradi-
tionS.
eve shall continue, with all the
strength and persuasion at our
command, to work toward our goal:
the preservation of human liberty
the democratic world.
We believe that in that Americana
effort, the aims and aspirations of
free labor-which has never falter-
ed in it's opposition to Communist
aggression-can play a major con-
structive part"

would most effectively help the ma
tion's defense effort.
Control of manpower was seized
several weeks ago by Mr.. Charles
E. Wilson and centralized in his al
ready-powerful Office of Defense
Mobilization, without ever discuss
ing the matter with his labor ad-
visory committee. Both by CORES
pondence and by several hours of
discussion, we have sought to show
Mr.. Wilson that manpower policies
would best be formulated in the De-
partment of Labor. We pointed out
that labor-management commit
tee in the Department of Labor had
been functioning tremendously and
satisfactorily on manpower pro-
blems until its effectiveness was
arbitrarily and suddenly ended by
Mr.. Wilson's action.
Speaking for millions of wage
earners who will be most directly
affected as our manpower problems
increase, we asked Mr.. Wilson to
reconsider that decision. He re-
fused flatly and finally, and with
out attempting to offer any logical
reasons for his refusal.
"The United Labor Policy Com
mittee is deeply concerned by Mr..
Wilson's arrogant seizure of con-
troll over manpower and by his
equally arrogant refusal to give
more than the most superficial con-
sideration to our plea for reversal
of his action. SO long as the con-
troll of manpower rests in the Of
flee of Defense Mobilization, no
American wage or salary Garner
may feel safe that the Big Business
clique in control of that agency
may not suddenly seek to achieve
compulsory draft of the nations
workers. Such an action, under Big
Business control and supervision,
would endanger our traditional
concepts Of free labor and volun-
tary cooperation. We do not believe
that free Americans want civilian
labor to be conscripted.
Labor Participation At ODM
"Our conferences and cores
pondence with Charles E. Wilson
have demonstrated that he has
little understanding of the needs
of the plain folks throughout Am
erica. Mr.. Wilson has clearly fail
ed to recognize that voluntary CO.
operation mong the various
groups in our population has all
ways been attainable in times ofl
national emergency, and that such
cooperation has been foundation
of our national strength. To the
contrary, Mr.. Wilson has demon
strated time and again that he con-
siders the mobilization program his
private preserve, in which he mayl
order directives and ukases without
consideration of the public need or
the public wishes.
"But our America is not pri-
vate corporation. Authority in our
America does not flow down from
the front office'-it rises from the
great common sense and deep pat
riotism of all the people. The Of
flee of Defense Mobilization howl
ever, is stated at its top level ex-
clusively with men from the eXecu-
tive offices Of big business.
"To give voice to the needs of
the public, including all workers
on whom our defense production
have asked Mr.. Viii
son for an opportunity for labor to
participate at the top policy level

Boston (LPA) - Telephone sub

only pay lower rates but will also
get a refund which may come to
$6,000,000. The State Supreme
Court has ruled that the rates of
the New England Telephone &
Telegraph Co. are too high. The
rates, set in May 1919, have meant
100000 more year to the
company. The company must now
go to the State Dept. Of Public
Utilities and argue about rates.

Legion Sponsored
Essay Contest
continued from arst pagel

/ sat down, after 1 heard about
this essay contest, and thought just
what each red stripe, each white
stripe, and each star means. The
following words are my own
thoughts written down for every
one to read because L feel that they
are good and true
The first of the red stripes re-
minds me of the blood of the War
Dead who fought to keep us free;
the second, third, fourth and fifth
stripes remind me of the cancer,
tuberculosis, heart disease and po-
lio victims or our country today.
The sixth red stripe reminds me of
the Russians and their Communis-
tic ideas andtpOwer, it also reminds
me of the condition of the world to-
day; the seventh and last stripe
makes me remember that the Atom
and Hydrogen bombs may make
the whole world a blood red if they
are not used carefully.
The six white stripes are differ
ent in. their meanings. The first,
second and third make me think of
the doctors, nurses and hospitals
of the world and their good works.
The youth of today are not really
bad and they are the fourth stripe.
They are truly good and kind COM
pared to the children of some other
nations. The fifth stripe reminds me
of the purity of the hearts of our
people and leaders when we COM
pare them with the hearts of Hit
Ter, TOTO and Stain. The sixth
white stripe reminds me of God
and Church and it's good and
righteous work in our country as
well as in foreign lands both under
safe and very dangerous conditions.
The stars, of course, stand for
the state and the blue background
reminds me of the blue sky which
may be blown to a dull gray or
black if we do not look through it's
fluffy white clouds to the God above
them and ask him for his help and
grace to keep that flag flying in
towns and cities all over these
United States.

fruit in food value, according to
Purdue nutrition specialists. The
new tenderized dried fruits do not
require soaking. This saves food
value and flavor, cook quicker, and
