Political Rights
Of Labor In Peril
Amendments To Corrupt
Practices Act Attacked
As Blow
New York City.—Declaring that
members of labor organizations would
denied their political rights under
the proposed amendment to the Fed
eral Corrupt Practices Act introduced
by Rep. Howard W. Smith of Virginia,
the American Civil Liberties Union has
registered opposition to the measure
a letter to Chairman Hatton W.
Sumners of the House Judiciary Com
mittee.
The bill (H. R. 9238) would pro
hibit labor organizations from con
tributing to national political cam
paign funds and labor officials from
participating in financing such cam
paigns.
Proposal Held Unfair
Pointing out that the designs of
the bill rest upon the present legal
prohibition against contributions by
corporations, the A.C.L.U. held that
labor unions and corporations could
not fairly be placed in the same cate
gory. While a corporation exists to
conduct a business for profit, accord
ing to the A.C.L.U., a union is a
voluntary membership association
created to serve its members' inter
ests.
There seems to us no excuse what
ever for singling out labor organiza
tions for treatment different from
other voluntary associations. But
worse than that, the proposal is far
more restrictive of labor organizations
than is the present law on private
corporations. Every officer or employe
of a labor union is barred from assist
ing financially in any national election
campaign. No such provision applies
to officers or employes of corporations.
Aimed at Unions
"There is a further provision to
prohibit any political committee from
soliciting funds if it has on it any
trade union official. No such provi
sion in the existing law prevents cor
poration officials from serving on po
litical committees.
"It is clear that the bill is aimed
at the legitimate activities of trade
unions in politics for the purpose of
rendering them politically impotent
The proposal, if adopted, would out
law the American Labor Party and
other political parties backed by or
ganized labor.
It would virtually prevent labor
organizations and their officials from
participating at all in national cam
paigns." •$ .,

New Type House Is
Designed By USHA
Cloverleaf" Is Novel De
sign With Many Desirable
Features
•yf:
Washington, D. C.—A new aird dif
ferent type of four-family multiple
dwelling, designed in a novel "clover
leaf" design and affording many de
sirable features not found in the or
dinary standardized row house, has
been developed by the United Housing
Authority and submitted to local hous
ing agencies engaged in slum-clear
ance and low-rent housing programs
throughout the country.
The innovation in group home con
struction, dubbed the "Quatrefoil
Plan" by the Technical Division of the
USHA which developed it, is directed
toward achieving and interesting va
riety of exterior appearances, arrange
ment and outlook not found in straight
row house construction, at the same
time providing economical comfortable
and convenient living with an abun
dance of light and air and ample yards
for gardens and sitting-out space.
In commenting on the new housing
plan, USHA Administrator Nathan
Straus said:
"As one of its functions, the United
States Housing Authority continuously
studies improved design and layout.
The result of these studies, the pur
pose of which is to provide better liv
ing conditions at lower cost, are made
available to local housing authorities.
The Quatrefoil Plan, developed by
our Technical Division, marks a real
achievement in this line. The purpose
of the plan is to provide living condi
tions, better than the convention row
house design, at no more cost of con
struction than the conventional design.
This problem has been solved by the
striking device of offsetting the dwell
ing units. The basic plan calls for con
struction of four two-story dwelling
units arranged around a central axis
Each dwelling thus has three expo
sures. There is an unusual amount of
ight and air in all rooms and through
ventilation in both the living room
and the principal bedroom.
"Variations in the plan so far de
Veloped provide for a two-bedroom
and three-bedrodm living units, which
may be arranged in interlocking
fashion.
"A unique feature of the plan is that
eliminates back yards and provides
instead front and side yards for each
dwelling unit. USHA technicians say
this will lead to.better upkeep by ten
ants, as all yaiods will be visible to
passers-by jmdjttjjprefore will be con-
"While gtefl&H^t&sts of ibfr. Q^a

house plan, the- difference, due pri
marily to greater exterior wall area
will be offset by- savings resulting
from the concentration of heating and
plumbing equipment and the economi
cal use of land.'?,
USHA technicians estimate that
favorable sites, the Quatrefoil Plan
may be arranged to provide dwelling
facilities for as many as 28 families
per acre with great variety and in
terest in grouping. Such features as
playgrounds, sitting-out areas, wading
pools and other outdoor facilities
would all be included.
In preparing the Quatrefoil house
site plans for use by the local hotising
authorities, the USHA has suggeste(
that they may be used to even
greater advantage by intermingling
this new design with row house struc
tures. One of the many site plans sug
gested would have the Quatrefoil units
grouped about a icourt in the center of
the site, with &>w houses arranged
around the outer areas. Another would
reverse the procedure,, wjiile a third
would place the Quatrefoil units at the
end of row structures.
In the interest of economy, the
USHA also has Suggested joining tw
Quatrefoil units so that one building
will provide dwelling facilities _for
eight families. While this would elimi
nate window space from one wall
each of two dwellings, it would still
permit cross-vinfilation ami. would cut
down on wall obstruction as well as
land.
It is expected that total develop
ment costs of the Quatrefoil units will
run several hundred dollars less than
the average of $4,840 thus far
achieved for USHA projects authorized
for construction,1' while shelter rents
will compare favorably with those ap
proved to date and which range from
$10.X7 per dwelling unit in the South
to lf.77 in the». large cities of the
North.
With approximately 200 low-rent
housing projects scheduled for con
struction in the coming year, USHA
officials believe
a
substantial number
will feature the (Quatrefoil Plan.

Garment Workers
Want 30-hour Week
CIO -Controlled Labor's
Non-Partisan League Hit
By Convention
New York City.—A "program of ac
tion" to restore national prosperity by
increasing employment and by raising
the incomes of the lower paid wage
earners was presented to the Interna
tional Ladies' Garment Workers'
at the union's fortieth anniversary
convention.
The convention opened at Madison
Square Garden with a great meeting
addressed by President David Du
binsky of the union, Gov. Lehman of
New York and others. A pageant
based on Walt Whitman's "I hear
America Singing" was presented with
800 unionists taking part. The G50
official delegates from 26 states and
four Canadian provinces paraded to
Madison Square Garden, watched by
many thousands of members of the
union, released from toil by a half
day's holiday. Regular sessions of
the convention were held at Carnegie
Hall.
New Deal Backed
Establishment of the 30-hour week,
expansion of the WPA and liberaliza
tion of unemployment insurance and
old age pension laws were urged by
the ILGWU general executive board
as part of the "program of action.
The report asked extension of the
New Deal and as one step in this
direction, urged Congress to amend
the Fair Labor Standards Act to
make a minimum wage of 40 cents
an hour mandatory at once in all in
dustries and to permit industry com
mittees to fix minimum scales above
the 40-cent level. Under the present
law the 40-cent minimum does not
become generally effective until 1945.
Communists Denounced
Denunciation of Communists was a
feature of the report, which attacked
Communist duplicity and treachery"
in the American Labor Party and said
that the union will fight any attempt
by the left wing forces to block en
dorsement of President Roosevelt in
the Fall election campaign.
The report vigorously condemned
the ClO-controlled Labor's Non-Par
tison League as having become "more
and more a part of the Communist
transmission belt'."
"Organized labor in New York is
determined to put up a powerful
campaign this fall in defense of the
New Deal and its candidates," the re
port declared.
Ohio Security Pay
Exceeds Estimates
Member of Claims From Re
tired Workers Over 65
Up 20 Per Cent
Glenn H. Pittenger manager of the
Youngstown field office of the Social
Security Board announced today that
4,223 persons in Ohio are receiving
monthly old-age and survivors insur
ance payments as of April 30. The
monthly payments during Apri
amounted to $81,(583.
It will be noted, Mr. Pittenger said
that the number of claims from re
tired workers over 65 years of age
and from their wives past (5 is ex
ceeding advance estimates by nearly
20 per cent. Claims from widows, or
phan children, and othe dependents in
the case of the death of the breadwin
ner are lagging behind estimates.
For the country as a whole, Mr. Pit
tenger stated, 21150 persons were
added to the old-age and survivors in
surance rolls in, April, bringing the
total number of persons in the United
States now awarded regular monthly
benefits to 62,364. April awards added
$377,516 to the level of monthly pay
ments bringing the national figures to
$1,173,933 a month.
These insurance payments, Mr. Pit
tenger explained, go to any "qualified
commercial or industrial worker at age
65 or over, to his wife at age 65, to his
children under 18 years of age or at
his death, whatever his age, to his
widow at age 65, or if she has young
children in her care, to his children
under 18 years of age, or in some cases
to his dependent parents over 6.
Wage earners and their employers
share the cost of paying special taxe*
and monthly benefits are paid as a
right no matter what other income the
family may have.
