CIO Resolution Calls For
Repeal Of Taft-Hartley
CLEVELAND, — The CIO
convention paid little heed yes
terday to Secretary of Labor
James P. Mitchell’s advice to quit
talking about scuttling the Taft
j Hartley Act.
Instead, it pushed ahead with a
; resolution calling for outright re
peal of the “unfair and unjust”
law.
CIO president Walter P. Reu
ther said the resolution, prepared
well in advance of the new Labor
Secretary’s convention speech on
Wednesday, would not be altered.
There was no doubt that it would
pass.
Mitchell to'ld the 700 delegates
that an approach to labor legis
lation starting “from the point of
realism” would “preclude further
talk of repeal of the act ...”

Bartlett Seeks To
End Inequalities In
Living Cost Issue
Since the commissioner of inter
nal revenue ruled last month that
the cost-of-living allowance paid
federal employees is not taxable
under the internal revenue laws,
many Alaska individuals and
groups have petitioned to the In
ternal Revenue Service for similar
relief.
Delegate Bartlett stated: “I will
willingly agree with you or any
one else that a demonstration
could be made that, because Of
the higher cost of living in Alaska,
many wage earners and salaried
workers must receive much more
money for even minimum living
expenses than similarly placed
workers elsewhere, and for that
reason are thrown into a higher
tax bracket. That is obvious.
“What is not so obvious is how
all inequalities can be wiped out.
You will appreciate the fact that
they exist in other places, too, and
surely the worker in New York
City must receive more than the
laborer in Mississippi, where the
cost of living is much lower than
in New York.
“For many years I have had a
deep interest in this subject. I am
frank to say to you that I have
not found an effective answer. If
you or anyone else has construc
tive suggestions to offer, believe
me, I am willing to accept them.”
Scandinavian Airlines
Prepare Passenger Service
To N. America Via Pole
OSLO, (#— The Scandinavian
Airlines System is preparing to
start regular passenger service
from Europe to North America j
via the North Pole next summer,
the newspaper Aftenposten said
Thursday.
The paper said SAS representa
tives have been conferring with!
American authorities to clear up
several formalities, including a
•concession to extend the projected
service south to Los Angeles.
It was doubtful that the airline
would get permission to land at
Los Angeles “even though the city
is working actively to get the
service.”
If Los Angeles traffic rights are
not obtained, it was said, theU.S.
terminal would be Seattle.
The paper added that the Thule
airbase on Greenland will probab
ly be dropped as a stopover for
the trans-polar flights in favor of
Bluie West 3 on the west coast of
the Danish-owned island. Den
mark has leased Thule to the Uni
ted States for a military air base,
and regular passenger service
would interfere with U.S. Air
Force interests, the paper said.
Song “Beautiful Brown
Eyes” Grounds for Divorce
For Blue-Eyed Wife
LOS ANGELES, UR — The song
“Beautiful Brown Eyes” was too
much for blue-eyed Mrs. Ruth
Haughey and she divorced Dr.
Dell Haughey on her testimony
Thursday that he played the
record of it incessantly.
The court awarded her $400
monthly support for herself and
the two children. Dr. Haughey
gets possession of his model train,
his auto, surgical instruments and
collections of records and poetry.
Mrs. Haughey, 47, said he even
had the children singing the
“brown eyes” song and that he
carried1 “lovesick poetry” in his
billfold although they had been
married more than 20 years.
Overweight Woman Who
Fell 13 Stories Saved
By Her Plumpness
PHILADELPHIA, IJPl — Her ex
cess weight may have helped save
the life of a 45-year-old woman
who fell 13 stories from a hotel
window, Jefferson hospital physi
cians say. That, plus the facts
that a skylight broke her fall
and she landed in a sitting posi
tion.
Staff doctors said Mrs. Betty
Green Kaskin’s plumpness cush
ioned the shock. And while in a
sitting position, they explained,
the body is best able to diffuse
shock.
The woman, who is reported re
covering from the fall Nov. 13,
suffered a number of cracked
vertebrae, broken ribs, a tom kid
ney and compound fractures of
the right leg.
