Opposition of Vigilante

Labor Camp Is Threat to
Health and Labor Supply.

BURLINGTON, N. j. (FP) = The
general health Of this area and the
farmers war food production program
are menaced by vigilante-minded Off
Gals who have revoked a permit for
the Farm Security Administration to
build migratory labor camp on state
highway rs one mile from the city.
The camp is needed to house the
negro workers who will work this
years record planting of crops. Build
ing material already was delivered to
the 15-acre plot when the Burlington
clear out.
Ostensible basis for this action was
a protest meeting of $50 people or
ganized by local vigilantes. Back of
the vigilantes are the owners of ex-
pensive tourist cabins and summer
resorts along highway 25.
FSA camps are being built in New
Jersey for the first time as result
of the findings of the Tolan commit
tee, which revealed that the condi-
lions in eastern states for migratory
workers were just as bad, is not
worse, than those described In John
Steinbeck's celebrated Grapes of
Wrath.
Charles Collins, a farmer and chair
man Of the state war board, said that
the real estate operators and town
officials were asking for trouble from
the farmers, 600 of whom petitioned
for the camp.
There is going to be plenty of heat
turned on if the farmers find out that
they cannot get enough help after
they have spent more money to plant

Mcclellan Wins Spite
Victory Over IVA

SiSAoiJ ONOi VI
Senator Mcclellan, Tenn, won q
spite" victory over IVA last week
when he succeeded in putting through
the senate an amendment to the In
dependent Offices Appropriations bill
which takes from the Tennessee Val
ley Authority control over expendl-
lures of power sales receipts and those
portions of receipts that remain I'M
expended after June 80.
The amendment, should it be al
lowed to stand, has great nuisance
value, since it would abolish the sin
gle IVA fund in the Treasury and
greatly complicate auditing and book
keeping. It's real threat is that 1t
may be the forerunner to political
control over IVA by interests hostile
to public power development.
Mcclellan has been chatting under
the skin ever since iva decided to go
through with construction of Douglas
dam. The Tennessee senator plugged
for two other sites, since the Douglas
site affects two of his friends who
operate canneries In that district.
Another amendment that Mcclellan
had up his sleeve but didn't pull out
probably because he knew that it
couldn't prevail-would have required
that all IVA receipts be turned into
Treasury monthly. IVA would then
have to come to congress for virtually
every expenditure, and be at the
mercy of hostile political elements on
the appropriations committee. Sen
ators Wheeler and Murray both OPP
posed the Mcclellan amendment.

shut, her look of a lonely exile would
disappear There would be wonder
full change in her - sudden happy
smile that transformed her into a
woman radiant and fearless. 1t
warmed my heart to see her. But l
was sorrowful that the beauty of
that mysterious smile lasted such
little time. Before the changing gates
had opened for US at the top, her
face would be grave and dark again.
The second thing that troubled me
was that l could not rid myself of
the conviction that some secret of
my own also accompanied me on
every journey l made in the ele-
vator. There was something ought
to know very well, something as
familiar to me as the telephone
number of an old friend, but l was
too obtuse to track it down.
And l knev that the memory l
strove unavailingly to recall was con-
nected with the girl in the dark suit.
1t was certainly connected with the
elevator. Only while l was in the
elevator did have the fancy l have
tried to describe. 1t never troubled
me in any other place.
1HEN one day the girl came into
the elevator as usual. As the passen-
gers scrambled in. the automatic
voice that seems to come from the
roof gave its clear and familiar
order: Stand clear of the gates,
please" )" The gates changed to.
Once more saw her happy smile,
once more the sight made me glad,
and once more my own bewildering
secret tugged at my consciousness.
This time its call to me for recogni-

ton was more urgent than ever. But
again failed to capture its message,
found my failure maddening.
lHE gates opened and We jostled
out towards the summer day. 1t
was June. The girl was a little in
front of me. A folded newspaper
dropped from under her arm as she
stepped from the elevator. l picked
it up. 1t was folded at the back page,
and there was an item marked in
pencil. 1t seemed to jump before my
eyes in a second, as vivid and reveal
ing as the flame of a match in the
dark.
And now l knew both secrets -
mine and hers. The familiar thing,
the memory which l had failed to
recall a hundred times, was the
automatic recorded voice of the ele-
vator, which spoke the order at
appointed intervals, from before
dawn to past midnight, day after day:
Stand clear of the gates, please"
l had known the owner of that
voice. His name leapt at me from
the printed page:
