LABOR CO-OPERATES
IN
COMMUNITY
CHESTS
IN
NATION
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Or
ganized labor has won increased rec
ognition as an important part of the
civil and social life of hundreds of
cities and towns throughout the
United States because of an agree
ment signed three months ago be
tween United Nations Relief of the
AFL, the National CIO Relief Com
mittee, and Community Chests and
Councils, Inc. The agreement pro
vided for direct labor pai'ticipation
and recognition in community and
war chests from coast to coast.
As a result of the agreement, sep
arate appeals and campaigns will be
eliminated in cities where it has been
put in effect. Workers will be called
upon to make only two contributions
during the next 12 months. These
will be a contribution to their local
community war chest made in weekly,
monthly, quarterly or semi-annual in
stallments as may be convenient, and
a separate contribution to the Ameri
can Red Cross in March and April of
next year.
NATION MUST LOOK
FORWARD, SAYS
WPB OFFICIAL
Philadelphia (ILNS).—"We would
be writing our own epitaph if we con
centrated our energies on trying to
get back to what we fondly call
'normal,' William L. Batt, War Pro
duction Board vice-chairman said
here. He urged that the nation must
go forward to greater industrial and
social democracy.
Pleading for a postwar world in
which "class consciousness, special
privileges and race prejudices must be
forgotten," Batt said:
"In the first place, there is no such
thing as normal and if we look back
closely enough, we must realize that
the good old days were not really so
good after all."
"It would be far better," he contin
ued, "to get into our heads once and
for all that we are not going back to
the '20s nor to any other period, but
that instead, we accept the challenge
and are going forward—forward to
greater production and better distri
bution, forward to new products and
and i^ew markets, forward to a great
er industrial and social democracy
and to greater economic stability."
Batt said that "in my opinion pri
vate capitalism and what we have
chosen to call enterprise cannot, and
should not, go back or stand still.
Those of us who believe in private
capitalism over other systems must
give it flexibility and m9ke it work If
it is to survive."
ALL SWEDEN TO BE EX-RAYED
Stockholm.—The National Associa
tion for the Combating of Tubercu
losis is planning to take X-ray
photographs of every Swedish citizen
so that a complete picture of the
spread of tuberculosis in the nation
can be secured. The work will be
done by means of traveling labora
tories built into special motor busses,
containing X-ray apparatus and wait
ing looms. The capacity of the lab
oratory will be 100 X-ray photographs
an hour. The first bus of the series
to be used in the work is now being
constructed

Front and High Sts. Phone 5000
Washington, D. C. (ILNS).—Es
tablishment of a new "bill of rights,"
to include the rights to work, fair pay
and security, was urged by President
Roosevelt's National Resources Plan
ning Board in the seventh report since
its organization early in 1941.
The new bill of rights would be in
addition to the old bill of rights and
designed to cope with problems
"which our forefathers did not face,"
the board said.
The board asserted that "too few
corresponding adjustments have been
made in our provisions for human
freedom" to match the country's rapid
economic and technological develop
ment.
"And now to the old freedoms we
must add new freedoms and restate
our objectives in modem terms," the
report said.
Nine New Rights Listed
"Any new declaration of personal
rights, any translation of freedom
into modern terms of application to
the people of the United States here
and now must include the following:
"1. The right to work, usefully and
creatively through the productive
years.
"2. The right to fair play, adequate
to command the necessities and amen
ities of life in exchange for work,
ideas, thrift and other socially val
uable service.
"3. The right to adequate food,
clothing, shelter and medical care.
"4. The right to security, with free
dom from fear of old age, want, de
pendency, sickness, unemployment
and accident.
Rest, Education Included
"5. The right to live in a system of
free enterprise, free from compulsory
labor, irresponsible private power, ar
bitrary public authority and unregu
lated monopolies.
"6. The right to come and go, to
speak or to be silent, free from the
spyings of secret political police.
"7. The right to equality before the
law, with equal access to justice in
fact.
"8. The right to education, for

work, for citizenship and for personal
growth and happiness.
"9. The right to rest, recreation
and adventure, the opportunity to en
joy life and take part in an advancing
civilization."
"We Live in New World"
The report emphasized that these
rights "go beyond the political forms
and freedoms for which our ancestors
fought and which they handed on to
us, because we live in a new world, in
which the central problems arise from
new pressures of power, production
and population, which our fore fathers
did not face."
"Their problem was freedom and
the production of wealth, the building
of this continent with its farms, in
dustries, transportation and power
ours is freedom and the distribution
of abundance, so that there may be
no unemployment while there are ade
quote resources and men ready to
work and in need of food, clothing and
shelter."
Obligations Stressed
The board also pointed to the im
portance of recognizing "the obliga
tions which go with every right, obli
gations of the individual to use well
his rights and to insist on the same
rights for others, and obligations of
the community to support and protect
the institutions which make these
rights actual."
It expressed the Opinion that "the
American people are ready to assume
these obligations."
UNION BLOOD DONOR
