American, British Trade Unions
Operf War on Moscow Influence
By DEVVTT MACKENZIE
Associated Press Foreign Affairs Analyst
One of the most encouraging developments In the war against
communism is the project of U. S. and British trade union leaders
1o take Anglo-American organized labor out of the Moscow-dom
inated World Federation of Trade Unions,
Union officials of both conn
1rles are beginning conferences
in London next week looking to
tills far-reaching move. The pro
ject contemplates the creation
of a new world organization, un
less there Is a house-cleaning by
the WFTU with Its membership
of 70,000.01)0 in 50 countries.
The significance is this: lted
controlled trade unions In Eu
rope have provided Moscow with
its most potent weapons in the
revolution for the spread of
Communism. IJniy and France
are examples of countries which
were brought close to disaster by
Bolshevist Influence over labor.
Numerous lesser states have suc
cumbed. Naturally one of the first
moves Moscow makes In stnrting
a campaign in a new country
Is to bore into trade unions.
The objective always Is key ex
ecutive positions through which
the Reds tilm to control the or.
gunization. Many of these fifth
columnists are trained In Kits
sla, or receive intensive Instruc
tion from agents who have had
their schooling in Moscow,

form Is complete. When the Com
munists once get control of a
trade union that means it Is get
ting orders from the Kremlin.
VVell, American and British
labor have spotted the rats bor
ing In. They are seeing Red.
Hence the move to dissociate
themselves from the World Fed
eration of Trade Unions which Is
credited with toeing the Bolshe
vist line.
Americans expected to attend
the London conference next week
are James Carey, secretary-treasurer
of the CIO; Walter Reu
ther, president of the United Auto
Workers, and David McDonald,
Secretary-treasurer of the United
SI eel Workers. Britain will be
represented by Arthur Deakln,
secretary of the British Trades
Union Congress, and other TUC
oflieials.
In March Rrltlsh labor leaders
will meet with heads of the
American Federation of I-ibnr In
the United States. The AKL is
said to have Indicated a willing
ness to discuss Joining a new
federation.
Marshall Plan Opposed
This movement actually hail
lis inception a year ago In Paris
at a meeting of labor represen
tatives from countries in the
Marshall Plan. The World Fed
eration of Trade Unions had
thumbs down on the rehabili
tation project.
It was about that time that
Louis Salllant, French secretary
general of the WFTU, declared
in a speech to leftist workers In
Milan, Italy, that the organiza
tion's objective was to "elimin
ate the primary cause of war
the capitalistic system."
A little later a trade union
conference was held In London
i to try to avert a split in the
WFl'U ever the Marshall Plan.
Besides the American CIO and
the British Trades Union Con
gress, the trades organizations
of thirteen ether nations were
represented. The WFTU staved
away.
Then six months ago the Bri
tish Trades Union Congress
branded the WFTU as a Com
munist propaganda organization.
The TI'C served notice that the
WFTU either must suspend for
a year to clean house, or the
TUC would resign from mem
bership. The WFI'U executive Is
meeting in Paris this month to
consider this demand.
London expects that If this
proposal Is rejected, the British
and Americans then will an
nounce plans for a new world
federation.
A new federation would give
a great Hit to the cause of
Democracy.
Marriage Rate In
U.S. Fastest Since
1890, Census Says
By JANE EADS
WASHINGTON More people
are getting married today than at
any time since 1890, when first
statistics on marriages were com
piled. The proportion of the adult
population who said "I do" in
1947 was the largest on record.
These and other facts about fam
ily life are presented bv Dr. Paul
C Click of the U. S. Bureau of
Census In the January Issue of
the American Journal of Sociol
ogy. "We know, for instance, that In
many respects our families are
better housed than they were be
fore the recent war, but that in
othe respects the housing situa
tion has deteriorated," Dr. Glick
continues. "We can document the
greatly increased participation of
married women In the labor force
since 1940, the large-sca'e move
ment of families away from
farms and to the West, the un
usually rapid Increase in the num
ber on non-white families outside
the South, the spectacular mar
riage and divorce boom, the ex
ceptionally sharp rise in the num
ber of births and the continued
reductions in mortality rates."
Dr. Click explains that the facts
were arlved at by using the 1940
census as a "benchmark" with
which to compare the findings of
surveys that have been made dur
ing the years since that time.
The high level of employment,
according to Dr. Click, has been
one of the most Important factors
cotrlbutlng to recent changes in
family life. However, he explains,
the fact that recent marriage
rates have been high is better
known than the reasons for the
boom.
"On the basis of long-time
trends," he says, "we could have
expected somewhat less than 1,
400,000 marriages per year since
1940. However, there were about
3,000,000 more marriages than
the expected number from 1940
through 1947."
One might figure this Increase
was due to the war, but Dr Gllck
points out that the greatest mar
gin was In 1946, the first full post
war year, when there were 2.300.-
000 marriages, or nearly million
more than normal. Remarriages
of an unusually large number of
divorced persons might account
for a minor part of this excess.
Dr. Glick says.
the "expected" number of di
vorces per year since 1940 was
between 250,000 and 300,000, but
as In the case of marriages most
occurred In 1946. There were 615,-
uuu divorces that year more
man twice the normal number.
Considering the entire period
irom i'-hu to 1947, he rays we
find there were approximately a
million more divorces than usual.
r ai mers and non-whites did not
contribute so much as others to
the marriage boom, but both
groups totaled more divorces.

Second Time Would Have Been Real
Test for the Good Samaritan
By HAL BOYLE
NEW YORK. (JP) The fat man finished his meal In the small
restaurant, then stood stolidly in line at the cashier's counter to pay
his check.
He forked a rumpled $5 from his pocket and tossed it to the
woman. She was a skinny, tired woman of middle age the wife of
the restaurant owner.
"Dollar ten," she said in a flat
monotone. She counted some bills,
and the fat man absently crum
pled them into his paw.
"Good night," he said.
"Night," she answered, leaving
off the adjective. It is thus that
harried people unconsciously criti
cize life.
Outside, the fat man counted
the money. With kindling excite
ment he realized that the woman
had given him change for a $20
bill instead of a $5.
"Well, well," he said, pleased.
He put his hand in his pocket
and walked along slowly, finger
ing the bills and jingling the
coins.
"Let's see," he thought, "I can
buy three shirts, some socks,
some ." He came to a bar and
went in. He started to order his
usual beer the beer that explain
ed his belly and then changed
his mind and called for a high- j
ball. I
He bought a fifteen-cent cigar !
and strolled over and put a nickel I
in the juke box. Highball in hand,
cigar in mouth, he stood and lis
tened to an old tune about some-'
body saying he couldn't give some
body anything else but love, baby.
Spurred By Honesty
And right in the middle of the
fat man's pleasure a face came
Into his mind the face of a
mousey woman cashier with
glaring dyed hair, a weary face !
too scant to fill the wrinkles un-1
der her eyes.
"Oh, hell," he grumbled.
Three minutes later the door
of the restaurant opened and in
came the fat man. The tables
were almost deserted, but there
was still a line at the counter.
The fat man stomped over to
the cashier. Half angrily, half
defensively, he began:
"You."
But the cashier said:
"You'll have to go to the end
of the line."
"I like that," said the fat man.
But he went. When his turn came,
he began again:
"I was here a little, while ago,
and you made a mistake in the
change."
The cashier stiffened immedi
ately. "I'm sorry, you're supposed to
count the change before leaving
the counter," she said.
Her husband, who had been
stacking clgarets in the case,
straightened up.
"That's right, Mac." he said.
"Once you leave the counter
It's your funeral."
Not Even Thanked
The fat man Indignantly slap
ped the wadded bills and coins on
the class counter.
"What I'm trying to tell you
Is you gave me change for a $20
Instead of a S3."
The husband's face hardened as
he turned to his wife.
"How the devil did you do
that?"
'Honey, she said, and fear
came into her eves.
"How could you mistake a $20
for a $5." said the husband. "It's
bad enough to be dumb. Do you
have to be blind, too."
"Honey," she pleaded.
Neither of them paid anv atten
tion to the fat man. He hesitated
moment, then went back out
the door.
T wonder what the Good
Samaritan would have done if he
came to a second guy in a ditch,"
he brooded. "Would he have help,
ed him, too?"
But he really knew the answer.

While they were students at
the University of Vienna, where
they received their medical de
grees, their interest In the field
of psychiatry was inspired by pro
fessors under whom they studied.
Later, in rotary internships in
Los Angeles, they liked best psy
chiatry, of all the services to
which they were assigned.
Of her assignment here, to one
of the two neuropsychlatric hos
pitals maintained by the Veterans
Administration in the Pacific
Northwest, Dr. Bertha remarked
about the public attitude toward
mental hospitals. She pointed out
that a great portion of the pub
lic "unfortunately still looks upon
mental diseases as being a 'dis
grace'." She added that while mental
hospitals, of course, are set aside
for those who suffer with "an ill
ness of the soul" and general
medical hospitals for those who
suffer with an "illness of the
body," the two the body and the
soul actually are "inseparable.'
"This is obvious," she ex.,
plained, "in that whoever is
mentally ill is not his normal self
physically and vice versa; only in
the mentally ill patient, the mind
is more involved than the body,
and In the physically ill patient,
the body is more Involved than
the mind."
Both Dr. Bertha and Dr. Mar
tha Blumer are members of the
American Medical Association,
Dr. Bertha, In addition, i
ber of the American P- 8
Association.
