The Stain Stamp
(By Raymond Capper)


The American Youth Congress
would be dcservingof n great
deal more sympathy, and would
win more of i, if it's
Communist clements were clean
ed out.
Youth has special proDlems in
this country and it needs Il very
strong organization through
which it ma speak up and win
a hearing. But so long as Com
munist groups have hand in
the main youth organization. it
stands be fore the public with
two strikes on it.
Mrs. Roosevelt has made a
brave defense of this group.
when it helds its general con-
ference in Washington on Feb,
II on Civil Liberties and Citizen
ship " she addressed the meet.
The youth group was received
at the White House and Presi-
dent Roosevelt met with it. Au-
brey Williams, director of the
National Youth Administration,
addressed the conference. Re-
representatives. of outside polite
al viewpoints were invited to be
present. John Hamilton, chair
man of the National Republican
Committee. declined to send a
representative on the ground
that the American Youth Con-
gress had failed to expel it's Com
'munistic elements.
There is raised her q most
fundamental question:. And while
approaching the broadminded
impulses which lead Mrs. Roose-
welt and others in this admins
tration to accept the Aye as is,

man.
We have enougn to DO III this
country without compIcating
our activities with Communists
who are looking out first for the
interests of Soviet Russia ard
who are its champions through
thick and thin, even when it
violates democratic practices
as ruthlessly as does Hitler.

democracy if he win take the
trouble to travel about in our
country. | have come back from

ocrience. There is much work
for us to do. But | believe there
is a firm determination every
where and among all groups to
do ii il our own way, and in ac-
cordancc with our traditional
principles.
It isn't that knot of Commun-
lists in the American Youth Con-
gress is going to do any real
damage to America. They can
only damage the youth who thru
this organization are trying to
obtain a hearing.

LETTERS TO THE EDITOR
Organizer to Appear Before the
Fayette School Board Wednesday

Edward P. Kelley, National
REPRESENTATIVE for the State,
County and Municipal Workers
of America, Go affiliate, is
scheduled to appear before the
Faytette county Board of Edu-
cation here Wednesday, evening
(Feb. 14) to discuss with the
Board of Education plans for
organi ling the county teachers.
The Board, today continued to
be noncommitta on the subject
as it had no direct information
as to the plarS to be presented to
it. =. ..y
While Mr.. Kelley has made no
statement for publication either,
some of the teachers have stated
that they have been told that or
ganizatioE would be attempted
with the plea that increased
salaries could thus be obtained.
1t is also known here that pro-
posed contracts of the organiZa-
ton with other boards of educa-
ton had specified the so called
closed shop" which would not
permit the employment of a
teacher not affiliated with tn
CIO. 81 .uu a1s
1t was presumed, from that,
that the Fayette County Board
will be asked by Mr.. Kelley to
sign such a contract, thus. if the
board should accept that propos-
al, forcing all teachers to be mem
bers or not employed 49,. 1t has
been said that the United Mine
Workers of America is a non
partisan, non-political organiza-
ton. We are of the opinion that
is as it should be, since Demo
Gratis, Republicans and others
belong to this organization. The
thirg that ! cannot reconcile
with the above statement is how
did it happen that the TMWA
contributed $450,0O0 to the
Democratic party and then leoar
ed that party $4,000. thus max
ing a total of 100000 given tc
the Democratic party? If the or
ganiZatior is non-partisan and
Inorpolitical why have the miners
been assessed $1.00 each for Dec
1880 and January, 1910 for poll
teal purposes?
If the organization is nOn-parti-
san and non-political why is il
that they have endorsed only
New Deal Democrats, in county.
state and nation in the past 9
campaigns? If the organization
is non-partisan and nor-political
why give the money to any poll

million dollars would have gone
a long way toward relieving the

politics. However, his latest ma
neuver insures that reputation for
a long time to come.
After maneuvering Roosevelt
into reappointing two of the Pres
ident's chief opponents - August
Klecka, as U. S. Marshal, and
Bernard Flynn, as U. S. Attorney
- and after arranging it so that

Around the White House some
of the Presidents advisers are
laughing up their sleeves. For
weeks there was tug of war be-
tween them on one side and
friends of Senator Radcliffe on the
other regarding the reappointment
of Flynn and klecka. Some of those
on whom the President has leaned
for Maryland advice in the past
warned him against appointing
the two Tydings henchmen until

and sealed. However. Attorney
General Robert Jackson, his as
sistant Matthew Mcclure, together
with Senator Guffey of PennSyl-
vania, and other appeasers close
to Radcliffe, urged the President
to make the appointments.
So Roosevelt made the almost
unprecedented move of reappoint-
ing Flynn and Klecka for the full
four years, despite the fact that
they had slapped him in the face
during the 1888 primary. Stimuli
taneously he failed to reappoint
the two men who had gone down
the line for him. namely, Gil Daley
Collector of Customs, and Hamp-
ton Magruder, Collector Of Internal
Revenue. In return for their 1888
support for FD.R., their jobs were
left dangling in the balance.

Tydings took a unique way OF
coming out against Roosevelt. He
wrote a letter to Harry B. Cannon,

subsequently was published in an

Baxter Defeats
Terry meGinniis

Laverne Baxter employed the
utmost wrestling zeal and fervor
last night to beat Terry McGinnis
at Greenwich Coliseum.
McGinnis was able to initiate
the Baxter repertoire so well, in
fact, that he won the first fall,
which came after one minute and
so seconds Of the second round,
with the use of a series of elbow
smashes.
Baxter came right back to
square accounts with an al
most identical attack In the
fourth round, the fall being
recorded after one minute and
So seconds.
BY this time, both wresctlers
were reeling about the ring, but
Baxter outlasted McGinnis TO gain
the deciding fall after four min
utes and IA seconds of the fifth
round. McGinnis conceded the fall
because of his inability to continue.
Chief Thunderbird took the de-
cision in the semi-final by winning
two out of three falls from Joe
Corbett; Bill Sledge and George
Wilson drew in the special event,
and George Richards and John
Katan finished up all even in the
opener.
