Straight
Ahead
BY OLIVE A. ADAMS

NEW YORK, (GlobaD We hate
to make noise like a broken rec
ord, but we can't help it when
things keep cropping up in the
news. We've harped on the de-
mandS that labor has come to
think of as necessary to make
upon industry, but just this past
week they hit new high, or low,
depending on how you look at it.
1t seems the Steelworkers had a
clambake to decide what they
were going to ask for in their COM
ing contract negotiations. They
sounded like kid writing to Santa
Claus, never-ending, never-dWin-
ding source of goodies.
They called for a broadening of
the social insurance programs and
an increase in pensions" AS it now
stands, social insurance is financed
by five cents an hour contribu-
tions, bore equally by employers
and employees. The Steelworkers
suggest that next year the steel
companies be asked to bear the en-
tire expense of the program which
they also contend should be ex-
panded to include dental and medi-
cal care, fully paid hospital bills,
and increased surgical benefits.
This is going pretty far. Next
thing you know, they'll be want
ing rent-free housing, food cou-
pons, free transportation and to
top off the pension, classy fun
eral at company expense, and stock
in the company as an Inheritance to
be turned over to the next of kin.
The big steel boss, David J.
Mcdonald, seemd to sense all this
as little extreme for now, though
devoutly to be wished for in the
near future. He admoniShed the
over-zealousN workers, 1--WE can
strive for perfection, but never
achieve it. Perfection is only in
God. But with all the imperfec-
TOMS of the thing we have now, we
are better off than when we had
nothing"
In what seemed a further at
tempt to persuade the workers not
to "bite the hand that feeds them,' -
Mr.. Mcdonald said:
"The extent to which we will
progress will depend upon the con-
tinued progress of the steel indus
try and the American economy.
You never get anything out of the
air. Believe me, there is no pie in
the sky.
Its easy to make utopian
speeches, but Utopia is not for
mankind" Mr.. Mcdonald contin-
ued. We can seek it, but We'll
never get it."

One Auto Sleeper
Catches Another
In Undercover Job

If william Gilbert Davis really
was looking for a rent-free place
to sleep when he crawled into
a car owned by a police under

car to make a bootlegging ar
rest in the 500 block of H street
NE. early today, didn't move
when the stranger got into his

SATURDAY, JUNE 6, 1883

The Commissioners will re-
ceive a recommendation for
establishment of a special in
vestigating squad to work on
the problem of men who fail to
support their families.
The Policy Committee for En-
forcement Of Non-support Laws

insure the regular and prompt
serving of non-support war
rants.
Working out means to obtain
information from Juvenile Court
about the amount of non-sup-
port payments made to persons
OH welfare rolls.
1t was decided at the meeting
that the most logical place for
the investigating squad would be
in the Department of Public
Welfare.
Welfare Director Gerard M.
Shea said three investigators in
cluded in the 1854 budget could
form the beginnings of such a
unit. He said. however, that it
would take about 10 investiga-
tors to do the job.
William w. PAWS, assistant
corporation counsel attached to
the Welfare Department, told
the committee there is now no

entS. The Woman'S Bureau is

sistant marshal, told the group.
Eie said six deputies have been
assigned to the work.
The committee asked Mr..
PAWS and other members of the
Finding group to prepare a
detailed plan outlining the duties
and scope of the proposed non
support investigation squad. It
is not contemplated that the
investigators would have arrest
powers.
1t was decided that, beginning
with yesterdays session, meet
ings of the committee would be
open to the press. United States
Attorney Leo A. Rover pointed
out that its work deals with a
community problem and he saw

Lowe Outlines
Plan for Shifts
In Health Units.
Seckinge+ Withhold:
Comment and Will
Consult With Aides

Schuyler Lowe. the District
Governments chief reorganizer.
yesterday spelled out details Of
a compromise reorganization
plan affecting two controversial
bureaus Of the Health Depart
ment.
Mr.. loves proposals were
greeted noncommittally by DIR.
Daniel L. Seckinger, direc-
tor Of public health. But DR..
Seckinger said last night he has
the plan under study and will
consult with his aides on the
subject next week.
The essence Of Mr.. loves
compromise is to place routine
health inspection functions un-
der his proposed new console
dated licenses and inspections
department. Technical inspec-
tionS would remain under the
health directors control.
Two Bureaus Affected.
Affected are the Bureau of
Public Health Engineering and
the Bureau of Food Inspection,
now divisions Of the Health De-
partment. Under the original
reorganization proposal, these
bureaus would be shifted to the
proposed license-inspection Of
flee.
But as a result of DIR. Seek
inger'S strong protests and the
opposition of non-government
groups, Mr.. Lowe now would
place such routine and non
technical inspection duties as
checking on illumination and
toilet facilities in the license
inspection department. Where
matters such as dairy inspec-
tions are involved. Mr.. Lowe
would leave this specialized chore
to Health Department employees.
Seckinger Reserves Opinion.
DR.. Seckinger said. after con-
ferences with Mr.. Lowe yester-
day, that he is interested" But,
he added, he wants to reserve
Judgment for the present.
Mr.. Lowe explained his offer
by emphasizing that "at no time
did we intend for the Health
Department to lose control over
purely health matters" He
added that if DIR. Seckinger, and
ultimately the Commissioners,
approve the compromise, it
would still be experimental, SUBJ
ject to revision.

Oman May Gel
Quick Hearing
AT Red Probe
Methodist Bishop
Coils for Chonce to
Answer Charges

Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam's
request for a hearing before the
House Committee on Un-Ameri-
can Activities probably will be
granted soon to settle issues
raised in a heated exchange
between the Methodist leader
Fand a committee member.
A committee spokesman said,
the Bishop already has received
a standing invitation to testify
should be wish to answer charges
linking him with Communist
front organizations.
Apparently only the time re-
mains to be set.
With angered church members
rallying behind him, Bishop
Oman last night sent a tele-
gram to Chairman Velde asking
for an opportunity to be heard.
The wire came from Westmin-
Ster, Md. where the Bishop is
attending the Baltimore Confer
ence Of the Methodist Church.
Follows Controversy.
It followed a controversy be-
tween the Bishop and other
churchmen and Representative
Jackson, Republican, of Califor-
mia, a committee member.
The Bishop, who says the COM.
mittee's files connect him with
organizations to which he never
belonged and others he left be-
fore their loyalty was questioned,
has denounced the committees
staff as incompetent.
He declared that it's files are
go per cent false, irrelevant or
at least unverified."
This prompted Mr.. Jackson to
say in a recent House speech that
Bishop Oman works for the
Lord on Sunday and for the
Communist fronts the rest of the
week."
Apology Demanded.
The Baltimore conference, en-
bracing 10000 Methodists irl
Washington, Maryland and East
ern West Virginia, applauded the
Bishop and demanded that Mr..
Jackson make a public apology.
They called his remarks dis
respectful to our diStin-
guished bishop and an affront to
the Methodist Church." They
condemned the committee for.
dealing Gin innuendo and tech
niques Of Misrepresentation"
Mr.. Jackson's retort was that
Bishop Oman should submit to
a thorough examination" by the
committee. "The case of Bishop
Oxnam," he said, cannot be
settled by resolutions or by pub
licity releases"
Advised of this last night,
Bishop Oman fired off the fol-
lowing telegram to Mr.. Velde:
Respectfully request opportu-
nifty to be heard by your COM
mittee to answer false allega-
tions regarding me appearing in
your files and released by your
committee. Please advise when
I may be heard. G. Bromley
Oman"
Church Urged to Act.
The Rev. Charles Boss of Chi
cago, executive secretary of the
Methodist Commission on Peace
told the conference today that
"the whole church must rise up
on this.
"The threat is not simply to an
individual. It is not to Bishop
OMAN. What is taking place
is not merely a hunt for Com
munists.
1T is an organized effort
against the pulpit and public
schools to intimidate any one who
holds views against their views.
Senator Mccarthy and Repre-
sentatives Velde and Jackson
simply must be dealt with by the
church -
