Concerning East-West relations

to, engulfment by or appeasement
of totalitarian tyranny and ag-
gression," the report stated. "We
also stand against the exploitation
of any people :. and for basic
civil liberties !. Christians must
continue to condemn totalitarian-
ism as false in doctrine and dam
gerous in practice. They will be
no less firm in continuing to OPP
pose atheistic materialism."
One section of the international
affairs report was critical of some
phases of American foreign policy.
That section said: when Ameri-
can foreign policy is determined
primarily by the criterion of anti
communism, it generally strength
ems conservative and reactionary
political groups in the east Asian
scene and tends to weaken the
forces of healthy social reform"
1t pointed to two dangers:
"On one hand, the temptation
to succumb to anti-Communist
hysteria and the danger of self
righteous assurance concerning the
political and social systems Of the
West; on the other hand, the
temptation to accept the false
promises of communism and to
overlook the threat to any respons-
ible society,""
Concerning racial segregation,
one report said that "the whole
pattern of racial discrimination
should be no longer endured, and
churches should protest "any law
or arrangement that is unjust to
any human being" or bars Chris
tian fellowship.

MonopoIies Don't Worry
u. S. Agency

WASHINGTON, D. C.-(LNS)-
Rep. Wright Patman (D-TeX.) warned
$4,000 independent grocers here that
Federal Trade Commission maj ority
"is not disposed" to enforce the Rob-
inson-Patman Act against monopolis-
tic and discriminatory business prac-
tees.
Apparently, those now in control
believe the previous administration
went too far in applying the law" he
said. Unless ETC does a better job,
at might be better to abolish it en-
tirely and give local United States
attorneys the job of enforcing the
act"
Patman, coauthor of the 1886 act,
told National Association of Retail
Grocers that eight bills pending in
Congress would weaken or destroy"
the measure.
Watson Rogers of National Food
Brokers Association and Henry Bison,
MARC associate counsel, sounded
similar warnings.

Fruits of Unionism

Ten years of militant unionism
by the United clearinghouse Work
ers-CIO has brought many bene-
fits to the men and women who
process much of the nations meat
and sugar supply.
Wages, on an average have been
increased by about one hundred
per cent since October 1943 when
UPW became a self-governing in
ternational union. Membership has
grown from 10000 to 10000. The
regional wage differential between
the lower wage areas of the south
east and metropolitan areas of
the north and west has been cut
from rs to cents per hour The
wage gap between women doing
the same work as men has been
reduced from an average of 1919
to S cents.
In 1943 there was no premium
pay for Saturday in the packing
and sugar processing plants. Today
there is. At that time there was no
provision for paid holidays, sick
pay, severance pay. Today the Sat-
urday scale is time and one-half;
sick leave is now paid at the rate
of two weeks at half wages for
every year of service; severance
pay ranges from one week for first
year employees to 71a weeks for
10 years service. Over 10 years,
11a weeks for every year of serv-
ice thereafter.
Other improvements include larg-
err shift premium, clothes-changing
time of IL minutes allowed daily
on company time, improved an
nual vacation clauses.

Sweepings Used to Increase
Bulk of Costly Coffee

WASHINGTON, June 25.-The
Food and Drug Administration an
nounced last night it had seized
more than 10000 pounds of adul-
terated coffee and coffee by-prod
ucts since coffee prices started
shooting upward. Such things as
match sticks and wax paper had
been roasted with the coffee to
make it go farther and thus take
advantage of the booming market.
FDA inspectors picked up 10
patches, totaling S,152 pounds, of
coffee padded with chickpeas, bar
ley, chicory, soybeans or used cof-
fee grounds. The agency said the
packages bore such labels as "su-
perior coffee" or 100 per cent
fresh roasted coffee"
In addition, the FDA recovered
43,40s pounds of bug-infested
chickpeas and is looking for the
rest of O,OOO-pound shipment
sold to the coffee trade. Another
1920 pounds of by-Products of
powdered coffee were seized in
Brooklyn IN. " warehouses,
where they were stored for a cof-
fee rooster. One batch contained
brush fibers, match sticks and other
sweepings, the FDA said. The other
two consisted of coffee chaff and
