SHOPPERS GET VELVET GLOVE TREATMENT
Choin Grocery Stores Offering
Wide Range Of Personal Services

Area chain grocery shoppers
have been getting the velvet
glove treatment In recent
months.
The independents capitalize on
the personal element, home de-
livery and charge accounts.
Chain stores have operated on
the assumption that most people
would rather just save money.
The line Is pretty clearly
drawn. then. between the aver
age chain store and the in
dependent.
But with the mushrooming Of
new chains. the expansion Of
existing firms and the construc-
ton Of new suburban stores, the
element of competition among
the chains has reached fever
proportions.
Public Benefits
And the public has benefited.
The new chain stores con-
structed in the Washington area
in the past few months stand as
monuments to the dual gods of
the waistline and the competi-
tive system.
Most new stores while sticking
to their guns as to variety and
low prices. are placing . new
emphasis on service. their mana
gers say.
One of the landmarks of the
old-time grocery store and one
Of the biggest bottlenecks. the

tone this week for fast-stepping
activity In most lines Of business.
Holiday absenteeism slowed
the Nations industrial machine
Q little. Auto output was of
about 4 per cent. But steel pro-
duction, at 94.3 per cent Of rated
capacity, was within a hair of
the previous weeks two-year
record.
The auto industry. still geared
for record production. was OBJ
viously headed for an eventual
1et-down. The only question
was when it would come.
Overshadowing all else was
the tussle between the automo-'
tive giants and the / S million
member CLIO Auto Workers
Union on the issue Of a guaran-
teed annual wage. AS negotia-
tors for General Motors and the
auto union squared off in De-
troit, 1t was evident that q new
chapter in the history of labor
management relations was being
written. The outcome would in
f1uence labor contracts in other
industries for years to come.
Steel, backbone OF the econ
omy. already felt the impact:
There were increasing reports
that auto makers we're cutting
down on purchases of body steel.

Government experts took q good,
hard look at the American con-
sumner. BY and large, they were
satisfied with his economic
health.

ton: Unpaid bills are piling UP

U.A.H.C. Convention
Appeals for Revision
Of immigration Lows

LOS ANGELES, (JTA) - The
43rd biennial convention of the
Union of American Hebrew Con-
gregations concluded here last
week with the adoption of a num-
Der of resolutions protesting
against infringements of civil lib
critics, pleading for the revision of
the present immigration laws, and
demanding that the United States
do nothing ito imperil Israel, the
democratic bulwark in the Middle
East"
The delegates also accepted
three statements setting forth the
position of the Reform movement
on prayer and education. The first
asks for ''reinvigoration of the
conviction that communication
with the Almighty is essential to
the good life" The second calls for
creation of a national commission
on adult studies so that parents
can become better equipped to aid
the religious schools in conveying
to their children the drama of
Jewish history" The third ex-
presses reverence for individual
freedom, love of peace, regard for
the stranger, concern for the weak
and calls for equitable relation
ships between employee and en-
ployer.
A resolution was also adopted
by the convention on the achieve
ment of a just peace, containing a
number of recommendations for
American foreign policy.

questioned Barman's objectivity
toward Jews and Negroes in the
light of his association with the
Smith hate organization.
According TO the files of the
B'nai Birth Anti Defamation Lea
que. Baerman served as contact
man for Smith and his lieutenants.
The files show that Baerman re-
ceived m neY from Smiths
Christian Nationalist Crusads" in
addition TO being on Sen. East
lands payroll. This is verified by
reports filed under the Corrupt
Practices Act. Smiths most recent
filing with Congress under the act
reveals payment Of $l65 to Baer-
man for office expenses. In 1851
the Smith group paid Baerman
500 for office expenses and $l05
for printing and paper.

Lyndon B. Johnson, of Texas,
brought the Baerman issue to Sen.
Eastland's attention. It was point
ed out that the presence of Baer-
man on Sen. Eastland's staff might
affect the senator's eligibility for
the Craftsmanship of the Internal
Security Committee. Sen. East
land agreed to fire Baerman, re-
portedly explaining that he didn't
know Baerman's background.
The ADJ has information that
Baerman was the 1914 platform
chairman Of a convention in De-
troit which nominated Smith as
candidate for the presidency Of
the United States on an America
First" party ticket. During World
War II Baerman was reported TO
have offered his services TO per-
sons accused of pro-Nazi sedition
by the United States Government.
After the war he urged special
consideration for Germany and
Austria.
Smith quoted with favor from
Sen. Eastland's remarks during
the time Baerman worked in the
Eastland office. The Senator's
views on minority matters are on
public record. In a June %, 1915,
speech to the Senate, the Senator
said "the white Anglo-Saxon is
the forgotten man in America
today" He said "the Communist
Party is behind the present FEPC"
and urged that union leader Sid
ney Hillman be deported. Nazi
occupation troops in France, ac-
cording to the Senator, behaved
far better than American soldiers
of the Negro race. He contended
that "this agitation, for social
equality has destroyed racial toll
erance."
After the Supreme Court deci-
