Tuckaway House can't compare
in size with Grand Central Sta-
tion, but it's still the "crossroad
of a thousand private lives"-of
handicapped people who've never
set foot or wheelchair-in the
little shop on Liberty.
The huge star-design quilt, the
tiny beadwork butterflies, the
knitted baby things and yarn dolls
that line its showcases are all the
work of shut-ins. The handicapped
Analyst Says
UN Resolution
IIneffective
By AL BLUMROSEN
The UN General Assembly's res-
olution condemning propaganda
that might threaten peace is "good
as far as it goes, but it probably
has little meaning and will have
even less effectiveness," according
to Martin Kriesberg, research as-
sociate in the political science de-
partment.
Kriesberg said that charges of
propaganda for war are merely the
manifestations of underlying sus-
picions and differences. "War!
propaganda will subside when
these differences and suspicions
are reduced. It will not be cur-
tailed by condemnation."
He noted that-in a larger sense,
the governments involved can do
little more than pass pious pro-
testations regarding this propa-
ganda.
"In a democratic country suclT
as the Ufiited States, the govern-
ment cannot prohibit so-called
'war propaganda' without limiting
freedom of speech and the press,
and it is unlikely that the Russian
government, which does control its
press ,would curtail the present
policy of the Soviet newspapers of
villifying the United States gov-
ernment," Kriesberg added.

in 48 states and Canada have
made Tuckaway House and its
owner, Margaret Nickerson Mar-
tin, the center and symbol of their
hopes for useful lives.
"Private Lives"
The people who lead what are
probably the most "private lives"
in the world have also made Miss
Martin their confidant. Once an
invalid herself, she received 35 to
40 letters every day from handi-
capped persons.
From their letters, Miss Martin
gleans ideas for a Sunday morn-
ing radio program in which she
tells success stories of the handi-
capped. An accomplished poet
with four books to her credit, she
herself is an example of a once-
handicapped person who's made
good.
Miss Martin likes to talk about
her friends among shut-ins from
coast to coast. The more she works
with them, the more she says she
admires their determination. "I've
yet to hear one complain," she re-
marked.
Curse Is Idleness
She has always maintained that
"idleness is the curse of the handi-.
capped." Out of a wheel-chair her-
self for only two and a half years
now, she ought to know.
The "chain reaction" that even-
tually led to Tuckaway House got
started back gin the early 1930's.
Miss Martin, then working for a
Jackson newspaper wrote a poem
called "The End of the Rope."
Handicapped people, inspired by
its lines, began to correspond with
her.
Then fate played its turnabout
trick. In 1938 Miss Martin was
stricken by a heart condition,
complicated with anemia. She had
to spend three years in bed and
four and a half after that in a
wheel chair.
Sent Her Their Craft
Shut-ins who had been helped
by her poem wrote to her during
her illness, and sent her their craft
-and needlework as gifts. Her
friends saw it and wanted some
for themselves.
So, in January, 1942, Tuckaway

NLRB Meets
UnionDefiance
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4-(IP)-
The National Labor Relations
Board today threw out three cases
involving unions of John L. Lewis
and Philip Murray in its first
move to enforce the non-Commu-
nist oath riequirement of the Taft-
Hartley act in bargaining elec-
tions.
Deadline for filing of the affi-
davits disavowing Communism by
union officers-one of the prere-
quisites for use of the board's ma-
chinery by a union-was last Fri-
day night.
Murray, who heads the CIO as
well as the steel workers, beat the
deadline with a legal thrust at
the boardhowever. The Steel
Workers challenged the NLRB's
right to throw out any cases which
had been pending before the Taft-
Hartley act became operative Aug.

the constitutionality of the law's+
provision that union officers must
swear they're not Communists be-
fore their unions may have access

Study Group
Seeks New
Tax Decrease
Labor Member
Dissents Bitterly
By The Associated Press
WASHINGTON, Nov. 4--Sweep-
ing revisions of the nation's tax
structure, with cuts for all the
48,500,000 individual taxpayers
and for corporations as well, were
proposed today to the House Ways
and Means Committee.
The recommendations came
from a citizens' study group and
exploded immediately into con-
troversy with Rep. Dingell (Dem.,
Mich.) crediting the report to the
"Wall Street boys."
Labor's member of the ten-man
study group, AFL Vice President
Matthew Woll, dissented bitterly,
declaring the proposals by his nine
colleagues would:
1. Drastically reduce federal
revenues; 2. Ignore revenue needs
for European aid, and 3. Shift
the tax load from those best able
to those least able to pay.
On the other hand, Ways and
Means chairman Knutson (Rep.,
Minn.), praised the report as an
"outstanding contribution" to the
task of tax revision.
The citizens group was set up by
the Ways and Means committee,
which is the main tax law writing
body in Congress.
The report, calling for a general
overhauling of the tax structures,
is separate from plans of Knutson
to press for "quickie" enactment
,f a $4,000,000,000 tax slash for in-
lividuals in the special session of
Congress opening Nov. 17.
The study group put individual
income tax adjustments as "a
number one federal tax problem
today."
It said "our premise has been
that the tax system should be ad-
justed so that our economy can
function actively and efficiently,
;o that men will be encouraged to
work and produce, and so that
)usiness transactions will not be'
prevented by tax road blocks."
Flash, Cards
Failure Called
Student Fault
Students are dealing their foot-
'a1l flash cards "from the bottom
>f the deck" and maybe even us-
ing sleight of hand to make them
disappear, and the Wolverine
Club's a little disgruntled about it.
A club official charged yester-
day that flash card displays spon-
sored by the club were far from
'flashy," and he laid it to "little
or no cooperation from the stu-
dent body."
Coordination in the end zone
cheering section that displays the
blue and yellow cards is so poor,
Bob Mayerson, a club officer, de-
clared, that televisors and radio
announcers at the games are ig-
poring the jumbled efforts com-
pletely. It's even gotten to the
point where fans right in the sta-
dium can't make out the stunts, he
added.
Club officials are also non-
plussed at the speedy rate at
which the cards vanish. They're
having to dig down in the treasury

to keep up replacements. In fact,
Mayerson said there won't be any
flash card displays at the Indiana
game, because there just aren't
enough left to make a showing.
"Hundreds of cardis are lost
through carelessness," he asserted,
"and the Wolverine Club is forced
to absorb the losses that have been
steadily mounting each week. Spe-
cific instructions accompany each
flash card and there is absolutely
no reason why the cards should be
destroyed or discarded week after
week."
As a last gesture, the club prom-
ises to try to re-supply souvenir-
hunting students with flash cards
for the last home game.
