that was going to snuff out $500
American lives and cost the Amer
lean people $500, 900 900? W. would
spare no effort OF risk to prevent
a catastrophe Of this magnitude,
and yet that is just what the
Fourth of July celebration cost us
last year.
This year we have another two
day holiday, but this year we can
not afford the reckless disregard
CT safety that we exhibited last
year. Every life and every dollar
counts in u all-out war effort,
but if we are not going to re-
peat last years orgy of blood, we
are going to have to be careful,
for the National Safety Council
predicts that automobile traffic
ever the July holidays will be almost
as heavy as in previous years.
There are going to be accidents
unless all these drivers m careful.
All who go out on this weekend
holiday want to come back home.
All of them want to live to see this
war brought to a victorious cen
but there will be thousands
of them who won't because they
or some other driver, will be care
less.
wouldn't it be a fine ccntribu-
ton to the nations war effort if
Montana could get back to work
July 6 with a clean record of no
deaths, no serious injuries and no
bad accidents? We can do that if
will. If every Montana driver
would start out with the determin-
alton that he or she is going to
observe all traffic and safety rules,
and that they are going to bring
the cid buggy back without even
a scratch on the fender. 1t can be
done if every driver will make up
his mind to do it, and if in so
doing you save a life, you have ac-
complished much. especially if the
life saved is your own.
We can have a deathlesS, wreck
less holiday if we will only make
up u minds to do so. Let's do it
'or Victory!

peared this statement under the
caption Of England Ignores Poor

ing considerably more beer than
before the war--about twice as
much. The uptrend was evident

and brewers expect To top that
figure by another 100000 bar

ed, more must be consumed than

more? How much Of the grain

. Our Opinio n S.
, American Labor Party

Amateur politicians and the public are
following Trust-Buster Dewey's New York
state fight against Democratic Candidate
Bennett, who has served as attorney gen.
eral under Franklin d. Roosevelt and Her
bert Lehman since 1880.
The Dewey-Bennett contest attracts
national attention for three reasons. One.
of course, is the young ex-prosecutor
color" Another is his presidential am
bition, and the potential effect of the
gubernatorial election upon his 1914 avail
ability for the COP nomination. The third
IS the fact that the president tried to keep
Bennett from getting the nomination and
still has not relented publicly.
But professional politicians find in the
New York race an angle by far more in
triguing than these. Their prime interest
is in the fortunes of the candidates who
cannot win, the American Labor party's
nominee for governor, Democratic attor-
ney of Greek extraction, Dean Alfange.
Although the American Labor party
was formed in 1886 and has had candi-
dates in every election since, this is the
first opportunity for politicians TO discover
whether the unions can deliver the votes.
Hitherto, except for an occasional as
sembly district, the ALP has elung to the
coattails of major party-usually. but
not exclusively. the Democratic-and has
elected its own members to office only
when they had the support of a major
party.
Four years ago when Dewey lost to
Lehman, the American Labor party rose
to its zenith. A grand total of 100000
persons voted on the ALP line for Gov
ernor Lehman. II was the Labor party
votes that enabled the Democrats to re-
tain CONTRACT.
All this is of import because the Amer
lean Labor parry is laboratory expert
ment- The plan was TO determine whether
union labor was capable of functioning
politically in its own right. If the ALP
succeeded in New York, then it was to be
made national party.
In all this time the ALP never before
has tried its wings all by itself.
The entire question whether union
labor can and should have its own national
political party, run its own candidates and
function similarly to the British Labor
party may hinge upon how many votes
the inconspicuous Dean Alfange gets in
New Yor kin November.
IL he cuts as poor figure rs many
expert observers anticipate, then organ
lied labor is expected to continue polit-
ically as pressure group, endeavoring to
exercise a balance of power by which it
can force the major parties to heed its
demands to some extent.

, Thank You. Congress

We've found fault with lot of things
about the national tax situation, and un-
less congressional plans change well do a
lot more complaining. How pleasant it is,
then. to be able to toss bouquet at Cap
itol Hill. with some sprays in the direction
of the Treasury.
For years now we've had to wander
around the streets once year seeking a
notary public who for a quarter or so
would take our oath that that we hadn't
knowingly lied in our income tax returns.
although the tax law already made it
perjury so to lie even though we hadn't
visited notary.
Now, on advice of the Treasury, Con-
gress is removing the silly requirement.
We can prepare and mail our return with
out that unnecessary annoyance and ex-
pense, and still be held liable if we cheat.

D Resiive Labor

Walter Reuther, who seems TO be the
automobile unions principal spokesman.
has warned the War Labor Board that
labor is FESTIVE. He made no threats. but
said rs fact that a wage raise and eco
nomic security are prerequisites TO peace
on the automotive labor front, war or no
war
When he spoke the average weekly
pay envelope in the automobile industry
was S51.07 for a 43.5-hour week. The
average weekly envelope in the aircraft
industry, also a UAW-CIO stronghold, was
$44.98 for 47.7-hour average week. The
union security" phrase meant closed shop.
So, says Mr.. Reuther. without a raise
and a closed shop, he doesn't think his
men can keep their minds on the war.

Viewpoint?

That was more than a wisecrack John
Edgar Hoover handed the police chiefs
when he pointed out that if an Austrian
paperhanger named Hitler had not been
paroled nearly 20 years ago, millions of
lives would have been saved.
Hitler, then relatively obscure
agitator, was convicted of violent and
REASONABLE demonstrations against his
government" and imprisoned in Munich.
Against the advice of the Bavarian police
director, he was paroled.
What followed is history, still in the
painful making.
