The students were divided into five panels. These panels discussed different subjects such as the out laWing of the Communist party, and exemptions from draft. The subjects were planned in advance and put before the students in the. form of questions. Resolutions were made in answer to these questions and were stated in the grand ballroom of the Hotel Astor. Among the speakers were ex-President Hoover, the Mayor of New York City, and Gen. Willoughby.
 The rest of my stay was in sightseeing. There were 10 for eign boys who were staying after the forum to see New York, be- side myself. We were chaperoned by Mir. Panzer and MT.

Soldiers Home Funds
For Annual Leave Sought

To meet the cost of annual
leave for employees of the United
States Soldiers Home here, PreSi-
dent Truman yesterday asked
Congress to appropriate $151 ,000
from the homes own permanent
funds for the next fiscalyear.
The extra money is sought in
an amendment to the pending
budget of the Soldiers Home, now
under consideration in Congress
The Presidents request comes
according to F. j. Lawton, director
of the Budget Bureau, because OF
! a ruling by the Army judge advo-
cate general that employees of the
home are subject to the 40-houl
work week and annual leave pro-
visions of law applying to other
Federal agencies.
The original estimate of $3.-
215.000 for the home would be
increased to $780, 900 for the

'Reuther Wins Easily
On Dues Increase
Issue for JAW
BY the Asseeioied Press

CLEVELAND, April The
CIO-U United Auto Workers Unionl
began building up its treasury
with an additional $12 million
annual income today and touched
the accelerator on its already am
bilious economic and political pro-
grams.
The new revenue will come from
a $l-a-month dues boost pushed
through yesterday at the UAW
convention. The opposition was
noisy and persistent but glaringly
lacking in numbers.
Actual slicing of the melon was
left to a separate proposal today
But the 1900 delegates had good
idea where the extra money was
going before they approved the
increase.
Big "War Chest"
In pleading for adoption. the
JAW leadership made it clear that
80 cents of the new $3.50 monthly
rate would go directly into local
and international union strike
funds. Union officers estimated
that this would build up a SIS
million war chest" by the time
the major auto industry contracts
expire in 1955-barring a big strike
in the meantime.
The delegates also knew that 10
cents of each members monthly
dues was earmarked for Citizen
ship funds dS'-otherwis known as
political action. The union lead
erS said this would finance cam
paigns to register voters. drive
them to the polls and other elec-
ton expenses.
Smaller portions will be used to
expand union publications, for
more extensive education and
recreation programs and for sim
liar purposes.
| Walter Reuther, UAW president,
already has announced plans to
go after a guaranteed annual wage
as the next union objective-pre-
sumably in 1855. He also has
been one of labor's most outspo-
ken critics of the Democratic ad-
miniStration and one of labor's
leading campaigners for stepped
up political action.
The dues boost proposal, amend
ing the union constitution, passed
by at least a three -to-one margin
after hours of hot debate. An
Opposition demand for roll-call
vote-a move obviously aimed at
embarrassing" supporters of the
increase when they face the rank
and flle-failed when only 495
votes could be mustered. A total
of TOO was needed.
Philip Murray, CIO president,
bitterly attacked the Defense Pro-
Iduction Act governing price and
wage controls in an address be-
fore the convention yesterday.
/ Act Called Discriminatory"
He called it the most iniquitous
and discriminatory act ever passed
by Congress.
And, he added. it was the Gin
ertia and indifference of the
American public and organized
labor in the last election that
charted the course" for passage
|of the law.
Assailing virtually the entire
mobilization program, Mr.. Murray
said labor sis not attempting to
run all the defense agencies" All
labor wants, he said, is true rep
Iresentation in the Office of De-
|fense Mobilization" and "a voice
at the policy-making level of all
agencies"

You. your community, and your

regular military forces.
This can be done only through the
cooperation of our local Guardsmen,
their employers, those using the en-
ployer's services or facilities, and
the entire community.
We Joined the National Guard on
a voluntary basis with the full under
standing that, in order to fulfill our
minimum obligations, we must at
tend 48 2-hom weekly drills, and a
2-Week summer encampnent during
each year.
our weekly drills, in the main,
serve as preparatory work towards
summer encampmcn'. whcro the local
unit is joined with the rc!.@' ldcr of
our component uHjts md we can
function as one united group. This is
the ONLY time that such united effort
is possible.
Recognizing this fact, more and
more employers each year are grant

their Guardsmen employees, and
further, continuing their regular an
nual vacations

politicians to pose as superior or pa
tronzingly push them into a position
Of inferiorty, as indicated by the
pompous tendency to refer to them
as "the newspaper boys" And why
do they permit senators to get away
with the idea that when they give
newspaper men an interview or
piece of news or even talk to them
they are comforting a favor? The idea
is absurd The reverse is true. A far
sounder idea was expressed many
years ago by the late Samuel G.
Blythe, one Of the best political re-
porters who ever lived, when he said
that the only way for a good news
paper man to look at politician is
down. Considering all the facts the
notion that the election Of a working
newspaper man to the Senate is a
tribute to all other working news
paper men is extremely silly.
