'i CIO Rightists' Anfi-Red Drive
Has Big Effect On Left-Wingers
By PETER EDSON
WASHINGTON —(NEA)—~ The |
educational campaign which CIO
headguarters has been waging to
win over the rank and file mems
bership of the 12 left-wing unions
has been' smartly conducted and
suceessful. There have been no
personal' attacks on any of the|
purged union leaders. Instead, the:|.
emphasis has been on proving that |
the Commie leadrship had not pro- l |
dueed strong unions. Records of |'
the right-wing unions were shown |1
to be far better in securing bene- i 1
fits for members. Left - wing|:
undons,« it was shown, had no |
American trade union program. |
Their principal effort had been |
promotion of the Russian inter- |
national Communist line. ;
On the other hand, the counter- |
propaganda of the left-wing unions |
against the right-wing CIO leader- |
ship during this purge period has |
been particularly wvicious. Daily |
Worker has been unusually vile, |!
even for its customary low stand- |-
ards. CIO President Phil Murray |
sow smiles wryly over the fact|’
that he has been accused of taking
order from both the Pope and the |
Ku Klux Klan. Anyone who could
do that would certainly be per-|
forming the neatest trick of all
time,
Lecalities Cling to Rent Controls
While majorities in both Houses
of Congress seem eager to take off
federal rent controls, the states and
local communities in the past year
have been more and more reluc
tant to remove ceilings. New
York Gov. Thomas E. Dewey’s re
gent move to make rent control a
state matter, instead of leaving it
to local communities, is typical.
Out of 90 U, 8. cities of over 100,-
000 population only 16 have taken
off rent controls. Out of 15,000
gommunities of 5000 population or
over, only 200 have taken advan
tage of local option to get out from |
under rent controls. All cities have
had this choice since April, 1949.
But for the whole country, there
are still 12,000,000 housing units
under control in communities with
a total population of 77,000,000,
Low-Income Housing Projects
Boosted 4
Similarly, there seems to be
great local popularity for slum
clegrance and low-rent- housing
projects to contain a total of
408,000 family units. This is about
half of the 810,000 units authorized
for approval in first two years.
Governing bodies of 380 cities have
approved projects, and only four
have been turned down. There
have been two local referendums
on approval of low-rent projects.
St, Petersburg, Flz., defeated the
project 3300 to 3000. Waco, Tex.,
approved, 3400 to 2000.
Renew Attempt to Halt U. 8.
Crime Wave
Aitorney General J. Howard Me-
Grath’s Co:fimu on Law En
foreement make a second stab
at getting something done about
the U. 8. crime wave at a meeting
of newly - appointed legislative
committees In Washington, March
16 and 17. Mayor Quigg Newton
of Denver has been made chairman
of an Executive Continuing Com=
mittee. Four sub-committees have
been named to do the work. Mayor
David Lawrence of Pittsburgh
heads a committee on federal legis
lation. Attorney General Alan H.
Bible of Nevada heads a commit~
tee on State Laws. Corporation
counsel John P. McGrath of New
York City heads a committee on
municipal legislation. Mayor
Fletcher Bowron of Los Angeles
heads’ a committee on co-opera
tion. * In addition, Treasury and
Federal Communications Commis=-
sion lawyers are drafting legisla
tion to check gambling income and
race wire news. Mayor Thomas
D’Alesandro of Baltimore, chair
man of the general legislative com
mittee, hopes to have a report
ready by April 15, and ?resent it
to Congress for action thls session.
The Tip-Off ;
Any doubts about New York
Rep. Vito Marcantonio’s left-wing
leanings should now be completely
removed. For the sole American
Labor Party representative in the
U. S. Congress recently introduced
a bill to repeal the so-called
“Smith Act.” This is‘the law un
der which the 11 U. S. Communist
Party leaders were tried and con
victed in New York last year.
Look for Western Gain in
House Seating |
Census of 1950 is now expected
to take a total of 14 congressional
seats away from 11 states and re
distribute them among seven other
states which will show population
increases. These states are sche
duled to lose congressmen: New
York three, Pennsylvania two, Ar
kansas, Georgia, Illinois, Kentucky,
Mississippi, Missouri, North Caro
lina, Oklahoma andl’rennessee one
each. These states are expected
to gain: California eight, Florida,
Indiana, Michigan, Oregon, Texas
and Washington one each. Geo
graphically, the North will lose
four seats, the South six. The West
will gain 10. The census won’t
be eompleted in time for the 1950
elections, but will be in effect for
the 83rd Congress, elected in 1952.

Downey Will Run Again
. Washington political gossip on
why California Sen. Sheridan
Downey changed his mind so many
times before deciding to run for
re-glection, is a tanged ‘tale. The
senator had been discouraged over
failure of several of his pet bills
to make much progress this vear,
and his health hasn’t been too
good. When Downey first intimat
ed that he might drop out of the
1950 race, a group of prominent
California Democrats rushed to
Washington to persuade him to
change his mind. Senator Downey
told them he didn’t like the idea
of making two major campaigns-——
one against Rep. Helen Gahagan
Douglas in the Democratic primary
and then, if he won that, against
Rep. Richard Nixon, who would
probably win the Republican nom
ination.
The argument used to make Sen
ator Downey change his mind was
that he would stand a better
chance of beating Nixon than
would Mrs. Douglas. It was pointed
out there was a swing to the right
in California politics this year. In
that situation, Mrs. Douglas’s re
cord as a fighting liberal might not
look so good to the voters as Nix
on’s record in fighting against the
Communists. Senator Downey
was told that he would stand a
better chance of keeping the con
servative Democratic vote than
would Mrs. Douglas. And that is
apparently what persuaded him.,

Clear Away
The Clutter
BY ALICIA HART
NEA Staff Writer
Knpwing what to eliminate from
any costume is hte key to avoid
ing the overdressed look. It's a
knowledge which many women
never acquire. With it, a woman
can always look well dressed, no
matter how small her wardrobe
nor how inexpensive her clothes.
Striflping a costume to its es
sentials means knowing which
pieces of jewelry, which accesso
ries must go. leaving just the right
accents to give a neat, feminine
look. Here are some-simple rules
to act as a guide in achieving the
uncluttered look:
First, earrings, bracelets and
necklace don't belong together all
at one time, no matter how pretty
they are. If you wear earrings re
move the necklace. 1
Second, three elaborate accesso
ries at one time are too many. In
a combination such as shoes with
bows, a fussy hat and ornate hand
bag, something's got to give. Re
move the bows from the shoes,
take a plain bag and then make
sure that your hat doesn’t resem=
ble something in a bakery win-
