Union Seeks Repeal Os Taft-Hartley Ad Garment Workers To Fight Labor Measure Miami Beach, Fla., Dec. 27 — (UP)—President David L. Dubinsky of the International Ladies’ Garment Workers Union of America (AFLI today announced that the union will seek repeal of the Taft-Hartley act and a return to a modified Wagner labor relations act. The legislative proposals, first announced by a major union since the election, include some provisions of the Taft-Hartley act alter-' ed so they will be acceptable to labor, Dubinsky said. He said the union executive hoard, which drew up the proposals, favored "a continuation and strengthening" of the anti-com-munism clause of the Taft-Hart-ley act. The union wants to see the clause requiring employes to sign an “anti-communism" oath extended to include employers as well. The ILGW also favors expanding the railroad labor act under which a "cooling oft" period allows the president of the United States time to appoint a fact-finding committee and make recommendations ’ before a strike materializes — to include all industry. This would serve to cut down industry-wide I strikes. Dubinsky said. * He said the union also would ask that corporations be required to submit a financial report and statement of top officials’ salaries along with similar union reports. Under the Taft-Hartley act, only unions are required to do this. Dubinsky said the executive hoard had proposed outlawing jurisdictional strikes if a government board including labor representatives was appointed to settle | jurisdictional disputes. This plan Is in "agreement with the president's state of the union speech." Dubinsky said. The board also decided to make available a {500,000 loan to go with {250,900 in “other contributions," to Israel for "rehabilitation purport.',' Dubin ky said. This New Year let u. have new I tenderness towaid all our lellow humans.

Dee. 27 —(UP) — Cat footed safecrackers who tunneled through the floor broken open a grocery warehouse sate today and escaped with more than $50,000 cash in Christmas week-end receipts. Police chased three men believ-1 ed to have stolen the money and j captured one of them a few blocks from the warehouse, owned by city councilman Cas Walker. So quietly did the burglars work that they failed to disturb a sleeping couple in a room overlooking the office section of the warhouse. The thieves entered the building via a boh cut into a wall by a telephone installation crew, and used a pick and bit to rip an open lag in the tile flooring, police said. By drilling a hole in the threeinch thick door of the wall safe, they managed to break the locking mechanism and opr.i the safe. They scooped up two paper sacks •ontaining the cash and several housand dollars in endorsed checks. < Outside, they wete spotted hy police. One suspect was captured but two others escaped.

Weather Prophet Predicts Chilly Spring In State Rushville, Ind.. Dec. 27 —(PU) —! Mark Purcell, Indiana’s unofficial weather prophet who correctly | forecast a mild summer this year, today predicted a chilly spring for Indiana. Purcell, who bases his predictions on wind currents and directions, completed a three-day study of three weather vanes located ■ ne?r here and near Carthage and Andersonville. The first three weeks of spring! I —March 20 to April 9—will be mild but “gradually changing,” Purcell said. I Then, he said, the next month! will be colder, followed by’ mild weather the rest of the spring. "1 can see no really warm weather during the spring,” he said. "The winds never got around to where one might expect balmy, weather." Purcell claims 90 percent accuracy in his predictions over a 30year period. Last March, he forecast a mild, cool summer fur Indi&nu. He usually makes his predictions for a season after studying the; winds during the first three days of tbe preceding season. He made his wind readings last Tuesday. Wednesday and Thursday — the first tjiree days of winter. Purcell last fall predicted mild, rainy weather for the period from last Tuesday until Jan. 12. He said it would then turn cold, with possible snow between then and Feb. 20. From then to Mar. 6, he said, would be a mild, change-1 : able period. Then, from then to March 19. he predicted another • cold spell for Indiana. Pains Yield Promptly To Alf’s Compound W. G. I ’ablets. Ruiumatism, Neuritis, I lumbago, neuralgia and periodic pains.

Urges Veterans Apply For Certificates Eligibility For G. I. Training World War II veterans, who plan to attend school for the first or start their training under the G. 1. bill early in 1949, have been advised by the veterans administration to apply for certificates of eligibility at once so that the veteran’s records can be promptly established. , Veterans holding unused old-type, ■certificates of eligibility should exchange then immediately for a new type certificates. Certificates can be exchanged if they ® re Whiled to the veterans administration regional office from which they were isslied or the regional office in the area the veteran resides. After January 1, 1949, the length of a veteran's entitlement for training must be verified by the issuance of a certificate of eligibility and entitlement before the VA can pay tuition and subsistence. By exchanging old certificates before entering training, the veteran will help eliminate delay of subsistence payments, VA said. It will make possible more prompt and accurate service to the veteran after his training starts. Veterans already in school or in training do not need to apply for ’ new certificates of eligibility, inasmuch as their enrollment in the fall was for a full school year. Veterans who plan to mail their old certificates to the Indiana regional office should mail them to Veterans Administration, 36 South Pennsylvania Street, Indianapolis, ! Indiana. Economic Stability Returning To Europe j Gen. Lucius D. Clay Predicts Long Peace Berlin, Dec. 27.—(UPi— .Ameri- | can military governor Gen. Lucius ! D. Clay said today that economic and political stability were returning to Europe and predicted a long peace would follow western Europes’ economic recovery. He gave credit for the "amazing" recovery in Germany to Marshall plan aid and currency reform, one of the priihe factors in the split between Russia and the I western powers. I "When the freedom-loving, democratic countries of western Europe are on their feet economically and able to protect their freedom, then may we expect a long peace,” Clay said in a radio interview over the Columbia Broadcasting System. J The American commander predicted that the planes hurdling the Russian surface blockade to Ber- ' lin would increase their tonnage. He said that during November and December, the two worst weather months for flying, the airlift had kept stockpiles in Berlin from being lowered noticeably. “We now have 40 more C-54s 1 available with better weather prospects and we should henceforth exceed the minimum, which means ' some coal for domestic heating and for industrial use," Clay said. He said the German people had learned that they were better off now, even with their present hardships. than they would be under a totalitarian regime. Clay said that good progress was being made towards formation of i a separate German constitutional I [state in western Germany and a I j tripartite military government org-
