Labor Strides
By TOM BURKE

Organized labor has met the
challenge of an unfriendly ad-
ministration in the National
Governme ent, William F.
Schnitzler, secretary-treasurer of
the American Federation of
Labor said today.
The accomplishments of the
labor movement in the past
several years "has served as a
deterrent to those in industry
who have nursed the idea that
once in control of the instru-
ments Of Government. they
would be able to put labor in
its place." he said.
He told delegates attending
the Maryland te-District of
Columbia Federation Of Labor
meeting at the Hotel Statler
that organized labor will con-
tinue to fight back as long as
it draws its strength from the
people.
He said industrial leaders felt
chat once the executive branch
falls into unfriendly hands, as
indeed it has, the trade union
movement would fold in diSSen-
sion and weakness like a house of
cards."
Instead, Mr.. Schnitzler said,
the labor movement is on the
brink of achieving a merger be-
tween the AFL and CIO which
will strengthen the voice of or
ganized labor in national affairs.
The merger will put an end ito
two decades of division and in
ternal conflict within the Amer
ican trade union movement" by
uniting is million workers in one
federation, he said.s
Mr.. Schnitzler warned that
the proposed merger should not
be thought of as q business mer-
ger in which reduced staff and
operations will be brought about.
District Commissioner Samuel
Spencer opened the four day
meeting with q reference to the
increasing Importance Of WASH

cred in a car in front of

ported good. The little girl

road boundary, he said.
But it still leaves some 40 chill
dren north of the Pennsylvania
Branch avenues boundary, he
said And they must attend East
ern High, travelling 30 minutes
longer each way, he said.
Mr.. Lorenzen warned the 40
may suffer personal attack" He
cited instances of violence" in
the Eastern High area. He ap-
parently was referring to racial
tension.
DR.. Hansen said school au-
thorities are primarily con-
cerned with using schools to
full capacity.
New Plan Proposed
He also said a proposed new
curriculum will permit Eastern's
brighter students to work free
OF delays caused by slower
pupils.
Mr.. Lorensen said every one
knows Eastern's scholastic stand
ing has been dropping. while
Anacostia is maintaining its
pace.
Mr.. Tayman said the South
east is losing its highest tax
payers not SO much because of
District tax increases, as be-
cause Of neighborhood blight
ing" and arbitrary school as

wards that he hoped to hold i'm
1portant further hearings on
pending legislation for q stronger
Civil Defense program IN the
District, by the Civil Defense
subcommittee, which he heads.
The Texan said he has had
many calls from private citizens
and officials Of the defense
establishment disagreeing with
the current proposals for evacua-
ton Of Washington in case Of an
attack.
He said he hopes to get testi-
mony from the District COM
missioners, national civil de-
Tense officials, the Atomic Energy
Commission and the Defense
Department.
Beverage Bills Postponed
Postponed for further consid-
Grafton by the Harris subcom-
mittee were two bills relating to
alcoholic beverages.
The subcommittee discussed
both bills. one to establish q
District Government monopoly
on the sale Of liquor and the
other to permit chain stores here
to sell beer at each Of their out
lets instead Of being restricted
to only one store.
Asked If hearings would be
held on these. Mr.. Harris said
this would be considered by the
subcommittee ''in the near fu-
ture" He said the discussion
indicated that whatever action
would be taken on these bills
have to follow hearings, 'be-
cause Of the controversial ma
ture of the subject"
The subcommittee also passed
over, for the present, legislation
to establish a separate work.
mems compensation law for the
District, to replace the one now
operating here under the Long
shoremen's Act. Also laid over
for future consideration were
bills to give the District a non-
voting delegate in the House Of
Representatives.

Legislation to establish ma
chinery here for the election of
delegates from the District Of
Columbia to national political
conventions today was approved
by the House District Judiciary
subcommittee and sent to the
full committee for action.
Sponsored by Representative
Simpson, Republican, Of Illinois.
the measure is a revision Of a
previous bill for the same pur-
pose which passed Congress last
session but was vetoed by the
President.
The revised measure has elm
mated provision to which the
President objected relating to
exempting District Federal en-
ployes from the Hatch Act. The
President had contended that
to exempt District Federal work.
ers from engaging in partisan
political activities" would dis
criminate against Federal en-
ployes throughout the country.
This exemption proviso was
stricken from the new bill which
now will come before the full
committee at its next meeting.
2 Measures Approved
Two other measures were ap-
proved and sent to the full COM
mittee for action by the Judic-
iary subcommittee headed by
Representative Harris, Demo-
crat, of Arkansas.
One of these, by Representative
Klein, Democrat, of New York,
would exempt from District
real estate taxes property of
the Jewish War Veterans here
now used as their national head
quarters.
The other measure, by Rep
resentative Hyde, Republican, Of
Maryland, would exempt from
District inheritance taxes all
property transferred to chari-
table institutions.
Mr.. Harris said hearings were
authorized to be held by the
subcommittee on, three other
measures as soon as convenient.
The most controversial of
these, by Representative O'Hara,
Republican. of Minnesota, would
repeal a 1913 law which pro-
hibited the declaration of stock
dividends in the District by pub
lie utilities.
The other two would repeal
the requirements by law that the
Potomac Electric Power Co. must
submit its annual report to Con-
gress: and set up in the District
a so-called uniform, simultan-
eous death act to simplify in
heritance procedure.

Five Southeast citizens asso-
Citations charged school officials
today with pushing us around"
in arbitrary" changes in the
boundaries between Eastern and
Anacostia High Schools.
Some 80 representatives Of the
civic groups called for a return
to the boundaries changed last
week.
School authorities promised to
resurvey the area, and sched-
uled a meeting between the civic
groups and School Supt. Hobart
M. Corning at $3.50 am. Friday,
May 27.
Forgotten Us
Howard Lorenzen, president of
the Summit Park Citizens Asso-
citation, said, 1--WE sort of think,
out In Southeast, that you peo-
pie have forgotten U.s."
Assistant School Superintend-
ent Carl F. Hansen met with the
group in Franklin School.
Albert C. Tayman. represent
ing the Fort Davis Citizens As
sociation, said the group was
disappointed by Superintendent
Corning's failure to show up for
the meeting.
Harry s. Bowman, jr., presi-
dent of the Hillcrest Citizens
Association, was chairman of the
delegation. He also said he ex-
pected the superintendent to be
present.
Mr.. Bowman said DR.. Corning
is empowered to change boun-
daries on his own authority and
thus appears to have the key to
the barrier that blocks some
Southeast children from attend
ing Anacostia next year.
Cites North Line
Mr.. Lorenzen said Anacostia's
northern boundary should follow
roughly along the southern edge
Of Pope Branch parkway.
He noted that DR.. Corning
only last week designated Penn
sylvania and Branch avenues
Sc. as the new northern limit.
That concession permits 80 more
children to attend Anacostia

"One of the most interesting
and important developments
taking place is that Washington
is becoming more and more the
center of labor union activity"
Mr.. Spencer said.
In contrast to Mr.. Schnitzler's
remarks, Mr.. Spencer, who spoke
first, said this administration

District of Columbia should be

unemployment compensation and
workmen's compensation laws.
He said the District Commission
