JUST A MATCH
Take a look at a match. It’s a cheap, necessary, and in
nocent looking little article. Yet matches have caused the de
struction of hundred of millions of dollars worth of property
and tens of thousands of lives.
The ,ame thing is true of cigaretts. Great forests, homes,
factories—all have gone up in smoke and flame because people
didn’t go to the small trouble of putting smoking materials
completely out when discarding them.
How about the cords that carry the juice to your lamps?
Their cost is small and they can be installed in a matter ot
minutes. Yet, easy asi t is to replace them when frayed, short
circuits also have a gigantic toll of destruction of lofe and
property to their credit.
These three examples show the main causes of fire—and
the ease with which such fires can be prevented. The vast
majority of fires are the result of one thing Only—the human
factor. Someone is lazy. Someone is careless. Someone puts
off till tomorrow what should be one today. Then fire strikes.
The loss may be great or itmay be small. In either case, it is
totally unnecessary. Keep that in mind when smoking, when
checking household equipment, or when doing anything that
has a bearing on fire hazards.
TELL IT TO YOUR CONGRESSMAN CIO
High Prices worry you? Paying too much rent or do you
want a better honffc? How about that poll tax or anti
lynch law? Then do something about it!
That’s the gist of a letter sent by CIO Legislative Dir
ector Nathan Cowan to all CIO councils and International
unions.
“Everv CIO affiliate,” Cowan says, “every CIO member
has a duty"to be on the alert; to keep informed of what Con
gre-- is doing and ij^fct it is not doing; and to keep the Con
gre.-'men from yotfrarcfc continuously reminded that the
pubilc wants Congress to pass anti-inflation legislation, the
Taft-Ellender-Wagner housing bill and the civil rights pro
gram.”
This is what we should do?.
1 Letters, telegrams and phone calls to Congressmen and
Senators demanding immediate action on an effective price
control bill to end the increasing hardship of high prices on the
incomes of the working family. \\ e must insist that wage con
trol legislation is neither necessary nor desirable because record
breaking profits make it possible for labor to win wage gains by
collective bargaining within existing price levels. With the
prices controlled, labor wdll make progress at the expense of
profits, not at the expense of the consumers.
2. Letters and telegrams to your congressmen demand
ing that, if he has not already done so, he sign the discarge,
petetion to bypass the Rules Committee and to bring theT-E
W bill on to the floor of the House. About 160 Congressmen
have already signed this petition; 218 Congressmen—a majority
of the House—must Jfen it before the T-E-W bill can be
acted upon.
3. Letters and telegrams to Senators demanding that they
support cloture (cut-off of debate) to prevent a southern fili
buster on the civil rights program and they pass HR 29 to end
the poll tax. S. 984 to establish a Fair Employment Fractices
Commission, and S. 28<>0, the anti-lynch bill. (HR 29 has al
ready passed the house.)
4. Petitions and mass meetings in support of the anti
inflation and housing program when they can be mobilized
quickly and effectively.
5. Contacts with other cCmmunity organizations—unions,
church groups, consumer organizations, women’s clubs, civic'
groups—to develope strongest possible appeal for action on
inflation, housing, and civil rights.
In every letter every wire every phone call remind your
Congressmen we’ll remember the record in November.

STEEL SUBSTITUTES
LIES FOR HOUSES
By Elliott Carlton—Labor
Reports Columnist
No, those are not voices
that you’re hearing.
Not at all. It’s just the noise
that’s been generated about
the “captive” coal mines. All
of a sudden, it seems as if they
are necessary for national de
fense.
Some of the steel mills de
pend upon them—and the
country needs steel. Sure, it
needs steel. But—
Let’s make it a big BUT—
for the simple reason that it
IS a big BUT. “BUT why,”
let’s ask the question, “did we
permit the steel companies to
cut down their plant facilities
to pre-war levels? Why?
We’re in an inflationary
spiral right now—end the
main reason for it is that steel
is in extremely short supply.
And it’s NOT because of the
miners in the ‘captive” mines.
It’s 'because the steel owners
feel that they can control pro
fits—when they can control
production.
They’re right about that—
but wrong about everything
else. Inflation can cause a
crash that will ruin us, all of
us, for good. And the chances
are that we won’t blame the
right parties—the steel own
ers. Instead, since they control
the big publicity vending ma
chines—we’ll be finding scape
goats. If Germany can serve
as a lesson, the Jews will get
it first. Then the Catholics or,
maybe, the Negroes. Guys
who aren’t native born citizens
will feel it, too.
And the unions; They be
come company stooges when
the big industrialists got a toe
hold by spreading the poison
of prejudice. Just turn back
the clock a few years— and
check it for yourself.
So no one is safe. Not even
ME, come to think of it. That’s,
why it’s up to you and me to
do all we can to keep our econ
omy in working order. Let’s
nail the prejudiced remarks
about the “captive” coal min
ers as lies, right now. Like all
statements ba»ed on prejudice,
they are falsehoods. And our
America cannot be built on
falsehood, on prejudice.
WASTE fro FAT
The need for salvage of used
cooking fat is still great. It is
important that ail fat is used in
every home.. However, there
comes a time when fat is no
longer usable for cooking pur
poses. You can sell this excess
fat to your meat dealer for cash.
SAVE FAT
- i
"Save fat" has been the cry to
homemakers all during the war
and since’ There is still a great ,
need for the lady of the house to I
.salvage and sell all fat to her
meat dealer that is not used.
FAT SALVAGE -
a IMPORTANT JOB
i . -
Salvaging used kitchen fat is
a little Job, but a mighty impor
tant one. Scrape, scoop and skim
all used kitchen fat when you
broil, fry and boil. Our govern
ment tells us that world short
ages of fats«and oils are still
critical, and it’s up to every
American homemaker to waste
no used fats.
USEP FAT IS ASSET
Spoon every drop of un-usable
fat into your fat salvage con
tainer and sell it to your meat
dealer. You will add pennies to
your food budget and help ease
the nworld-wide shortage of fats
and oils.

In the pursuit of

and thus does
this 8unday ra
dio news com
mentator, as
much a friend of
Father Knickerbocker aa are we,
lean back from tils desk in the NYC
MBS newaroom to discuss with us
not national nor international newa,
but some of the remarkable things
which have been happening in our
metropolis of late. And what’s re
ported from the following compari
son of our notes is far from the
half of it, too.
HERE, KITTY!: You could con
sider the case of the subway cat
and the subway motorman. It was
because a passenger on a Brooklyn
station platform spied a kitten on
the tracks and waved frantically at
Victor Klepacki, the motorn **
an Incoming train, that
jammed on the air brakes. Victor
spotted the cat’s gleaming eyes,
dropped himself from his cab to
the tracks and, despite the hazards
of third rails, attempted to scoop
up the wee animal. Kitty dashed
ahead into the under-river tunnel
leading to Manhattan. The motor
man hero, with by then shouted
encouragement of passengers, re
turned to his* train controls and fol
lowed puss cat slowly in his train
some 500 yards further into the
tunnel. About that point the forlorn
feline, woefully tired, was scooped
up and given a dimeless ride to the
Times Square, Manhattan, station,
where friendly guards took over,
comforting and feeding the waif and
seeing that it was subsequently
properly cared for.
FURRED AND FEATHERED
FRIENDS: Considered also were
lee affaires the East River cat and
Jimmy the Crow, a Babylon, L. I.
suburbanite. It took an ASPCA
agent, plus the crew of the police
harbor launch on which he was
aboard, to track down, through lis
tening to mowings, a cat which for
some time resisted all rescue ef
forts beneath a 95th Street pier
bulkhead by leaping nimbly about
among piling supports. She’s o.k.
now too. As for Jimmy the Crow
(a talking one)—well, that bird
snatched a man’s key and driver’s
license case dangled before him,
made like a jet plane and was gone.
After a few days’ search by resi
dents, including the pet’s unhappy
owner, the stolen property was un
covered in a nearby cemetery. All’s
forgiven until the next time
RESERVED PEW: As for the
matter of an irreverent pigeon, we
refer to the small gray one which
swooped down over the heads of
some 1,000 worshippers In the Fifth
Avenue Presbyterian Church, doing
wlngovers and nose dives from its
perch on a chandelier 60 feet above
Just after the Reverend Dr. John
Short, noted British clergyman, had,
started hla sermon. Dr. Short, see
ing the congregation a bit upset
said, “Please don’t let it disturb
you; I am quite used to them." All
present seemed happier, including
the pigeon, which settled down on
the organ behind the pulpit, coofng
occasionally and cocking its head
for better listening.

Fifty-Nine Spanish Loyalists
In Russian Concentration
Camp
New York City (WDL)—
Fifty-nine Spanish Loyalists
are at present imprisoned in
the Karaganda concentration
camp in the desolate Kazak
hastan Republic of the USSR.
This was learned recently
by the Workers Defense Lea
gue, which is in the process of
organizing a commission of in
quiry on slave labor the world
over.
The internees, twenty-four
of whom were in Russia for
Aviation training at the con
clusion of the Spanish Civil
War, were detained under
fairly good conditions until the
outbreak of Russo-German hos
tilities in June 1940. At that
point, when questioned, they
indicated a desire to go to
France or Mexico and were
then arrested, snt to various
prison camps and evertfually
wound up in Karaganda where |
they kre living in the unbe-1
lieveable concentration camp |
conditions, possible only under |
a totalitarian regim.e j
At the same time as the
WDL made public this story,
it issued a statement support
ing the recent demand by Mat
thew Woll, vice president of
the AFL, for a United Nations
investigation of slave labor in
countries within the Soviet
sphere.
“We support the effort of
the AFL to bring about a UN
investigation of these charges

State Fair September 5-10
It’s State Fair time again—
time when all good Cornhusk
ers watch with pride as their
state goes on parade. Tremen
dous inspiration comes to
everyone in viewing the state’s
mighty panorama of accom
plishments in many field; —
agricultural, industrial, educa
tional and others.
Not the least of Nebraska’s ac
complishments is in the field
of brewing industry self-reg
ulation, a program designed to
help prevent abuses connected
1 with the handling of beer.
Through this program the
brewing industry works for
ever higher standards in the
distribution of its product.
Beer retailers are instructed
and encouraged to observe
every regulatory statute, par
ticularly those prohibiting sales
to minors and intoxicated per
sons, and sales after hours . . .
the maintenance of clean, neat,
sanitary places . . . and the
elimination of any conduct
which might be displeasing or
irritating to the public.
Ten years of this program has
helped build in Nebraska one
of the brewing industry’s most
valued assets — a good name.
