PAGX TWO KENTUCKY’S KEY T0 HOSPITALITY OUSTING 3 UNIONS SET NEXT MONTH WASHINGTON, April 21 — (B — The CIO has announced it Wwill hold hearings next month on whether to expel three West Coast ions accused of following Com- perjury for declaring he was not a Communist during naturalization hearings in September, 1945. The committee which will hear the charges against the three unions includes O. A. Knight, President of the Oil Workers; John J. Moran, Vice President of the Communica- tions Workers of America; and Joseph Fisher, President of the Utility Workers. Last year’s CIO convention ex- pelled two unions on grounds they were following Communist doc- munist instead of CIO policy. trine.

BOURBON : WHISKEY Call 416 when in need of a— BONDED 100 PROOF BASEMENT, FIREPLACE or CHIMNEY Receive the benefit of 26 YRS, EXPERIENCE NOW... Let's Look at the Facts - - Recently an unsigned circular was dis- tributed criticizing James Nolan’s voting record in the last session of the House of Representativi One hundred twenty-two bills were in- troduced in the House, about 87 in the Senate, and enough Resolutions, Memor- ials, etc., to make the complete amount introduced about 289. To be criticized on the vote of only ten of these 289 bills is not a bad average in itselff. BUT EVEN THIS CIRCULAR DEALING WITH THOSE TEN BILLS DOES NOT TELL THE TRUE STORY OF WHY NOLAN VOTED “NO.” Here is the correct story— House Bill No. 3—This Bill originally contained a one per cent gross sales tax on fresh fish. It is aimed directly at the Trollers, Halibut Fish- ermen, Gill-Netters, Shrimp Fishing, Cold Storages, etc. Nolan argued that it would be reflected in the price paid these fishermen and would place them at a disadvantage in the world’s fresh fish markets. REMEMBER, they also pay a Property Tax, Income Tax, Gasoline Tax. Their fish li- censes were also raised. So Nelan voted NO. NOTE—This bill was NEV- ER a part of the Basic Tax Program. W % Jds my-eontention that'we have had enough taxes for a while, and :hatb'tl?e fishermen have been handed more than their just share of the ax bill. House Bill No. 4 (raising fish-trap tax)—Nolan argued that the orig- inal bill introduced in the House was the best bill, as the bill passed would be declared confiscatory and defeat the purpose behind the bill. So Nolan voted NO. The Court has since held that the main money-raising g(';]nlture of the bill was illegal and so the Territory lost about a million ollars. House Bill No. 9—The $1.00 per hour was never in question. Everyone in the House agreed to it. BUT if the bill had become law it would have led the way to the elimination of practically all overtime in the canneries. The Federal Law exempts the Fishing industry. Nolan argued that the cannery workers want lots, of overtime work, not just forty or forty-eight hours a week during the cannery season. A small compromise would have made it a law. Nolan also argued the cannery workers should be allowed to negotiate their own contracts. So Nolan voted NO. House Bill No. 10—As passed by the House, this bill would have been the means of slamming the door in the face of new industries, as it was a gross sales tax on their output. It would have stopped the pulp mills cold. So Nolan voted NO. House Bill No. 25—This was a good Bill if handled properly. It set up too much power in the hands of the Commissioner of Labor. The regu- lation placed in effect last year, prohibiting anyone under eighteen years or age from fishing shows what can happen when one man makes regula- tions. So Nolan voted NO. House Bill No. 36—Nolan suggested the amendment in the Judiciary Committee that workers hired in Alaska also should be given the same privileges as workers hired outside the Territory. House Bill No. 71 (Punch-Board Tax)—By this time Nolan argued enough tax bills had been passed. So Nolan voted NO. House Bill No. 89—The men in charge of the Unemployment Fund tes- tified on the stand that this bill was not necessary as the fund was auto- matically protected. The Unemployment Compensation Committee itself should make the necessary recommendations for changing the act. The law as it now stands is in effect in all forty-eight states and the territories. So Nolan voted NO. Senate Joint Memorial No. 2—(Helping Alaska Bush Pilots)—Nolan is majority owner and stockholder in a bush pilot airline (Alaska Island Air- lines). What helps the bush pilots, helps Nolan. So Nolan was excused from voting. Senate Bill No. 71 (War Veterans Employment Preference)—Nolan argued that the residence requirements of one year in the Territory were not high enough, in view of the fact that we have another generation grow- ing up. It should be two years or more. Otherwise, persons born and raised in Alaska or of long residence would be at disadvantage. Regardless of what they tell you, Nolan voted straight down the line for H.B. 64 (Sick Fishermen’s Bill). Nolan made motion for amendment giving unregistered fish boat owners emergency medical and surgical care. A certain publication said Nolan voted No. Nolan also voted “YES” for increased dependency allotments for heads of families under Unemploy- ment Compensation Law. A certain publication said I voted No. Compare these facts with the misleading information you have been asked to believe. When you go to the polls to choose a Senate Candidate April 25 — REMEMBER — Nolan will not be stampeded into voting for a measure of which he does not approve!

This brought the total cuts, so far as the committee has covered the excise list, to $335,000,000—al- imost twice as much as President Truman requested. The committee, explaining that; all its actions now are tentative and may be revised later, voted, among other things, to: 1. Eliminate the 10 per cent sporting goods tax completely on children’s toys and goods predom- {inantly used in schools, | 2. Cut in half the 20 per cent! levy on jewelry, and remove it entirely from watches selling at! less than $65 and alarm clocks| | retailing at less than $5. !

MORE MONEY WILL BE ASKED TO FIGHT RED PROPAGANDA WASHINGTON, April 21—(P— The State Department may ask Congress soon for more millions to) combat Communist propaganda ab- road. President Truman signaled the move with an announcement yes- terday that he has directed Sec- retary of State Acheson to plan “a strengthened and more effective National effort to use the power of truth in working for peace.” Officials already are at work on plans calling for a stiff in- crease in the current annual out- lay of some $36,000,000 for “Voice of American” overseas broadcasts, the exchange of students with for- eign countries, and other such act- ivities. On Capital Hill, Senator Bridges; | (R-NIT) said a stronger “Voice of | { America” program would have gen-/ jeral appeal to Republicans. Hey 1said he would give it strong sup-| port in the Senate Appropriations| Committee . “Anything that will jam through | ithe Russian propaganda to reach| |behind the Iron Curtain would be worthwhile,” Bridges .told a re-| porter. . Truman, in an address to! the American Society of News-| paper Editors, called for a ‘“cam- paign of truth” to outline to the peoples of the world this country’s desire for peace. TRUMAN ASKS | CONTINUE RENT | ' CONTROLS, MID 50 ‘WASHINGTON, April 21 — (# — President Truman prodded Con-| gress today to continue rent con-| trols until mid-1950. He predicted | “a wave of exorbitant rent in-| creases” if they are allowed to end June 30 when the present law ex- pires. And if that happens, he said: Small income people, having to shell out more money for rent, will cut down on buying food, clothing and other necessities; unemploy- ment will increase in industries | losing sales. Federal state and local govem-5 ments will have to pay out more money for assistance to the needy. Pensions, both government and private, to old people will become more inadequate. g In a special message, Mr. Tru- man said removal of controls would mean serious hardship for millions of tenants “who are caught in a ‘sellers’ market and cannot ob- | tain lower rents by shopping aréund.” o ' He said housing is the one acute shortage remaining from wartime.
