Remington Strike Suit Moved to Federal Court
A $100 000 damage suit and injunction by Remington Rand Inc. against unions at its Middletown plant was moved to the U S District Court in Connecticut by Judge John F Booth after an all day hearing. The move followed a challenge that the case belongs in federal court since the company is Delaware incorporated and workers are Connecticut residents. About 1 400 union workers have been on strike for weeks. 100 cents of every union earned dollar should be spent on 100 per cent union made goods.

Twentieth Century Fund declares Townsend plan impossible
The Twentieth Century Fund committee finds Townsend's 200 monthly pensions unworkable. A 2 percent transactions tax would not raise enough funds and would burden workers through higher prices or reduced wages. The report argues distributive effects would skew 90 percent of people supporting only 10 percent and urges alternative approaches within current economic limits.
