The Inside Track in WASHINGTON

WASHINGTON, Mar. 5 The
small-toWn people OF the United
States, through their chosen rep
resenetatives in congressional COM
n.ittee assembled, are trying to
"rair back and pass a miracle
labor ticket for defense industries
which will put an end to all this
monkey business, real or imagined,
of high initiation fees for Union
membership. work stoppages, grieF-
anceS and strikes.
You can get the spirit of this
movement by dropping in on the
labor hearings now being held be-
fore the House Judiciary Commit
tee. Bald cid Judge Hatton w.
Summers of Dallas is the chair
man, and he is one of only eight
big-town men on the committee
of "a But even he has the con-
servative, southern ideas about
labor, and he expresses the view
point in no uncertain terms.
The people, he says. in his
hard, cracking vice, are urging
legislation on the subject before
this committee. Here's a national
emergency The government ,s
calling on people to do a job, and
Il ere are a few people who are
not yielding in the face of national
emergency Labor organizations
are undertaking to run business,
and there are scme cases in which
employers take advantage of the
situation"

Perhaps one of the first aids to
Britain under the measure will be

The British also were said TO have
been promised 400 merchant ships

types.
For aircraft and airplane acces-
sories the measure provides S2054,-

l0.700 new warplanes.
The bill also sets aside S1,350,000,-

commodities; s1,343O 100000 for ord
