Congress Recess Is Time To Push Lawmakers on Key Worker Bills(Continued from Page 1)

vance to see them on the manyissues before Congress that areof prime importance to work-ing men and wvomen.

Specifically, Andrew J. Bie-miller, AFL-CIO Director oiLegislation, is urging action inthe following five areas deal-ing with legislation needed inthe unemployment insurance,housing, manpower training,job safety and national healthinsurance fields.1-U. S. Senators should be

urged to strengthen HR 14705,a House passed bill designed toimprove the nation's unemploy-ment insurance program, by (1)adopting a federal benefitstandard to provide that thestate maximum weekly benefitshould be no less than 50 per-cent of the statewide averageweekly wage; (2) Extending fulljobless pay coverage to farmworkers; and (3) Adopting aprovision to make a federal ex-tended benefit standard effec-tive at the earliest possibledate.2-Senators should be urged

to support S. 3503, a bill in-troduced by Senator WilliamProxmire and others that wouldprovide $3 billion in funds fromthe Federal Reserve for mort-gage loans. The bill, designedto ease the severe housing short-age affecting low and middleincome families, would provideloans that would not exceed6% percent a year. They wouldbe limited to home -buyers earn-ing less than $10,000 a year andwhose home purchase price didnot exceed $25,000. S. 3503would provide funds for 150,-000 badly needed housing unitsand create many additional jobsfor the depressed constructionindustry.3-Congressmen and Senators

should be urged to supportHR. 11620, the manpower train-ing bill introduced by Rep.James G. O'Hara (D.-Mich.)which provides for job creationand would consolidate man-power activities under the De-partment of Labor. The Nixonadministration's bill lacks therequired standards for a strongcomprehensive manpower pro-gram and does not provide forthe creation of any new jobs,Biemiller said, adding that "aprogram without a job programis no program at all."4-To help curb the 14,000

deaths and 2,000,000 injuries resulting from unsafe workingconditions, the AFL-CIO is urg-ing support for HR. 3809 byRepresentative O'Hara on theHouse side and S. 2193 by Sen.Harrison Williams (D.-N.J.) inthe Senate. These two bills are

On Tuesday, March 31, theJudiciary Committee of t h eSenate will meet at 9:30 a.m. inRoom 4203 of_heCtph1ol. Inthat committee, tlh;ere are twobills which the Federation isopposing. SB 306 by SentatorDonald Grunsky (R-Watsont-ville), would permit searchupon a verbal order of a magis,-trate commanding a peace offi-cer to search, upon issuance ofa wri-ten warrant signed by amagistrate or by a peace officerauthorized for the magistrate.It would revise the procedurerelating to applying for, issu-ing, and executing search war-rants and would delete the re-quirement that probable causebe supported by a specified' af-fidavit or sworn testimony toestablish probable c a u s e. Itwould also authorize a magis-trate, upon application of apeace officer and after hearingthe applicant's sworn statement,to verbally order a search.SB 408 by Senator C la r k

Bradley (RU-Sn Jose), wouldmake it a crime for an unem-ployed father to refuse to ac-cept assigned public workstraining or a work incentiveprogram if his family is onpublic assistance. It would im-pose a jail sentence for viola-tion.

Before the same commit-tee are two other bills which

This would not ap-ply if the cardholder personal-ly uses the card, or if he giveshis consent for another to makea particular charge.

On ithe Assembly side, in theAgriculture Committee on Mon-day, April 6, a good bill au-thored by Assemblyman CarlBritschgi (R-Redwood City), isto be heard. The bill, AB 704,prohibits the net weight state-ment, which is now requiredby law on certain packagedpoultry, fowl, fish, and meat,from including the weight ofany free-flowing moisture,juice, or brine which may bepresent in the package or conotainer.

gressmen should be urged tosupport HR 15779, a labor-back-ed bill to set up a nationalhealth insurance program. Thisbill, introduced 'by Rep. MarthaGriffiths (D-Mich.) would makea full range of health servicesavailable as a birthright to allAmericans.

votes necessary to move out ofcommittee and wa moved tothe "bottom of the box." It isbelieved to be dead for thesession.At the hearing Tuesday, the

Committee also took up SB193, another measure opposedby the California Labor Federa-tion that would let employersfire employees who take unau-thorized time off to take partin political demonstrations.

This bill was introduced bySenator William E. Coombs (RUSan Bernardino).Senator Coombs amended the

LABOR'S STAKE CITED"Labor unionists," he said,

"have a vital stake in assuringthat the introduction to theworld of work that these 16 to21 year old! youths receive is apositive one so far as the roleof o r g a n iz e d labor is con-cerned."The State AFLCIO official

also pointed, out that union of-ficials have an obligation bothto the youths and, to presentunion members to see to it thatthe jobs created by the employ6er community are not jobs de-signed to fill regular job oppor-tunities for breadwinners withyouths at cut-rate wages.He urged the fullest degree

"I don't think we're going towind up with the city signingunion contracts but we willwind up with a system thatrecognizes bargaining a g e n t sfor groups of people," the May-or said.On the question of the legal-

ity of bargaining with publicemployees which has, beenraised by public officials else-where in the state, Alioto citeda state law that requires muni-cipal officials to "meet andconfer" with employee repre.sentatives and said that there'sno real difference between bar-gaining and "meeting and con-ferring."The Mayor said San Francis-

co city officials are already de-veloping machinery to deter-mine which unions representwhich city employees.George Johns, executive offi-

country on *the firm's creditcard.The 67-year-old Senator main-

tained that this arrangementwas perfectly ethical and saidthat he had "no intention ofletting t-his become a big issue."

Prior to his election in 1964,Murphy had been a vice presi-dent of the firm at a salary of$40,000 a year. After his elec-tion, he said, he agreed to theconsultant contract at $20,000.Frawley is listed in Poor's

1970 Register of Corporationsas director and chairman of thefinance committee of Techni-color and as chairman of theboard, head of the executivecommittee and executive officerof Eversharp, Inc.For the past decade, Fraw-

ley, whose wealth is estimatedat between $10 and $20 million,has pushed his political viewsthrough corporate advertisingcampaigns, and sponsorship ofradio and TV shows reflectinghis ideological beliefs and thefinancial support of ultra con-servative publications.Among other things, Frawley

has promoted publications de-nouncing the California grapeboycott and run ads support-ing the Fred Schwartz Chris-tian Anti-Communist Crusadein the early '60's. The St. LouisPost Dispatch reported thatSchwartz called Frawley his

major individual contributor.The Institute of American

Democracy, a research organi-zation in Washington, D.C.,which disseminates informationon right and left wing groups,has described Frawley as the"No. 1 man on the right."Noting that a survey con-

ducted by the Institute in 1968concluded that Frawley spentmore than $1 million a year oncorporate ads and grants th-athad "ideological implications,"the Institute said:"Never in the American ex-

perience has an industrialist ofFrawley's stature set about us-ing his corporate power soopenly in the pursuit of politi-cal objectives."Murphy maintained that

Frawley has often been incor-rectly mentioned as one of hisheaviest campaign contributors.But Senate records disclosed

that Mrs. P. J. Frawley, Jr., do-nated $5,000 to Murphy's Sen-ate campaign in 1964. This wasone of the biggest individualdonations on record in his file.Murphy also said he has had

no political discussions withFrawley since entering the Sen-ate and that Frawley has neveronce suggested how he shouldvote.But some observers noted

that Frawley has been staunch-ly opposed to any accommoda-tions with the Soviet Union andthat Murphy voted against the

nuclear non-proliferation treaty.And they would like to knowwhether Frawley's position hadany effect on Murphy's vote.

In reviewing the Murphy-Frawley contract this week, C.K.McClatchy, executive editor ofthe Sacramento Bee, concluded:

"Senator Murphy has saidhe sees no reason to end hisfinancial arrangement withFrawley. Many wil disagreewith him. The Senator fromCalifornia should feel an obli-gation only to the peopl of thisstate. Any arrangement whichcreates an obligation to some-one like Frawley is totally un-acceptable."And the response of the Los

Angeles Times was even moreemphatic. In an editorial lastWednesday it said:"The Times believes that

George Murphy has forfeitedthe privilege of representingCalifornia in the Senate."Asserting that "a Senator

must be above suspicion," theeditorial went on to say that:"By accepting a salary and

other benefits from Teehni.color, Inc., Murphy has violatedthe trust reposed in him bythe people of California."By concealing the arrange.

ment, he violated the candorwe rightly expect of a publicofficial."
