Iron Ship Build era. Blacksmiths, Forger and Help ers. Local 801, or is the wife of a union member.” “It this irresponsible union leadership succeeds in this harassment,” Pierce said, “it--wil set a precedent in every unscrupulous labor union to use this device t< fight management . . .

Lodge Backs Ike’s Military Policies Asserts U. S. Prime f Target Irv Next War PHILADELPHIA (INS) — Henry Cabot Lodge, U. S. ambassador to the United Nations, thinks that President Eisenhower’s declaration to defend Formosa “is the best insurance against a full-scale war in that area.” Lodge, in a Lincoln Day address to Pennsylvania’s Republican state committee in Philadelphia Monday night, w-arned that the U-S. would be "the prime target” in the event of a third world war. The former senator defended the President’s military policy and said: “I marvel at the temerity of politicians who would question Dwight D. Eisenhower as to how large our armed forces should be.” Lodge pointed out that should war come, the nation would be faced with the real possibility of fighting on its home soil for the first time since the Civil War. But he asserted that the best defense against this threat lay with the largest peacetime air force the U. S. has ever had. The U.N. ambassador said Pres-

Propose Wholesale Markets For Cities Would Help Cities Construct Markets WASHINGTON (INS) — Chairman Harold D. Cooley (D N.C.), of the house agriculture committee, introduced legislation today to help cities across the nation construct modern wholesale markets for perishable farm commodities. Under the Cooley plan, the secretary of agriculture would be authorised to utilise a 25 million dollar revolving fund to insure first mortgage loans on approved new terminal market facilities up to 85 per cent of the cost of construction. Loans could be obtained by municipalities or other political subdivisions, public corporations or* private enterprises. A similar bill Introduced by Cooley in 1950 won approval of the house but not the senate. The chairman said his plan is an outgrowth of a series of studies of domestic marketing problems undertaken by the committee as far back as 1943. The North Carolina Democrat explained: “The primary objective of the Mil is to assist cities and metropolitan areas to modernise their wholesale market facilities and eliminate the waste, inefficiency, and unnecessary costs that inevitably result when the wholesale handling of fruits, vegetables, and other perishable foods is conducted in crowded, unsanitary and antiquated facilities.” Cooley pointed to Philadelphia which he said has been carrying on its wholesale marketing activities in the same area since 1693. He said a study made bf the agriculture department and Pennsylvania State university indicated that $3,500,000 could be saved annually through construction of a modern wholesale market in Philadelphia alone. Other cities which Cooley said have an urgent need for new terminal markets include Pittsburgh; Chicago; Huntington, W. Va„ and Toledo, O. ... . Trade in a Good Town — Decatur
