The phrase, bill of attainder. might be freely defined as a bill of ennviction, In this instance.

The association hoped that Carson. a former Home Owners Loan Corp. official and realty and mortpage broker, would be “more receptive” to its suggestions than his predecessor, Paul R. Porter, who resigned June 29 to become associate war food administrator. Carson insisted he would not retreat from the fundamentals of rent control but expressed the belief that he could “sell” the program to the association's Washington committee. He revealed that he had already taken steps toward solution of one of the associations foremost complaints—that repair and maintenance costs had sky-rocketed while rents were held stable. Carson said OPA would inaugurate a “preventive maintenance” program to urge tenants to “treat the landlord's property like your own.”

We are aching for a chance to do our bit, but we're on the shelf.” Already the Indiana war relocation authority has placed some 73 of the American-born Japanese in jobs in the state, and about 20 are working in Indianapolis offices, war plants and as domestic help.

BRITISH BIRTHS (3. ood.

| ORGANIZED LABOR in Indiana is worried over the anti-labor trend throughout the country and the Indiana C. I.

ea Per 1000 Rate Is the Highest Production In 15 Years.

‘LONDON, July 14 —While the rest ‘of Europe worries about its rapidly falling birth rate, England and! | Wales are having a boom.

Births in England and Wales, for {the first quarter of this year, were the highest—18.8 per 1000—recorded by the resistrer-general in 15 years A total of 1.:819 children were born from January through March, | with boys outnumbering girls. There [were 1070 boys for every 1000 girls. Increased attention to care for prospective mothers is seen as one explanation for the increasing birth rate, in addtion to general improvement in government supervision over family security.

| The infant mortality rate for the first quarter was 60 per 1000 live births, or 14 below the average of the 10 previous first quarter periods. At the same time, the first three months of this year showed a decline in the number of marriages over the preceding first quarters of the war years (a total of 62,327) but marriage statistics, however, were still above the pre-war figure Deaths in England and Wales, in-: cluding non-civilian, were 1037 and 568 respectively, with the death rate based on the 1939 population at 13.5 per 1000, compared with 1438, lin the same period of 1942. This was the lowest death rate since 1933. Thus, 251.

urgency of organized, intelligent, concerted political getion,” C. 1. O. officials stated in a summary of | the record of the '43 legislature | which is now being distributed | throughout the state.

“Campaigns must be started now in the labor movement to register all eligible voters to build precinct, ward and block campaigning organizations to get the vote out.” The C. I. O. officials declared that the chief tasks confronting labor are: To insist that the political organizations from the state committees down to the county and city committees recognize and deal with only labor's regularly elected leaders, not with selfstyled labor representatives who do not hold authority to represent labor. To prepare political programs not only in advance of legislative sessions but also in advance of elections and to see that before anyone is elected from a labor community that that person must have made definite commitments to support labor's basic program 2d to oppose anti-labor legislation, The C. I. O. stated that a part of its election campaigns in 1044 must be support of an expanded unemployment edmpensation program that will adequately take

care of post-war unemployment; elimination of the merit rating provision from the unemployment compensation law and support of a state wage and hour law and a state labor relations act, ” n ”

Praise Dawson, Creighton

THE C. 1. O. legislative report praised both Lt. Governor Charles Dawson and House Speaker Hobart Creighton, while criticizing in fairly strong language a large number ofe the legislators in both parties.

“Mr. Creighton and Mr. Dawson did a workmanlike job of presiding over the house and senate, Both were competent, sincere. At no time did either fail to keep a promise or to fulfill a commit ment,” the C. I. O. commented.

Chief criticisms of the Repub-lican-dominated ‘43 legislature by the C. I. O. were: “The tendency to ignore elected leadership of C. I. O. and to formulate labor policy through “labor Republicans” who had neither the right nor the ability to speak for the C. 1. O. “The tendency to do nothing rather than to offend the chamber of commerce groups and their ilk.” “But both of these criticisms | applied until recently to the Democratic party,” the report
