Simple Ways Win
In Catching Fox

DENVER, Jan. 11.-6UP)-Police
admitted today that the mechani-
cal wonders of the modern world
are nothing compared to a friendly
whistle and a snap of the fingers
in catching a fox.
Fore eight hours yesterday, Den
yer officers in patrol cars and
guided by their centralized radio
system, attempted to chase down
a red fox which was pestering a
residential neighborhood.
Then 15-year-old Jerry Mangan,
Jr., saw the animal sitting in his
back yard Knowing nothing OF
the chase, he whistled and the fox
l,mnped in his arms.

The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1943-12-06

minister rationing properly, the OPA has certainly
not done all it should. But the anti-administration
bloc in Congress has tried to stop 1t doing even
much as 1t has, by cutting funds for enforcement,
by constant sniping and buldozng, and by catering
to price-raisng profteers at every turn.
Certainly wages and prices out of line. That's
why Clio is asking that the Little Steel formula
be strapped wages can be adjusted up to present
price levels.
But how did wages and prices get this way?
Congress voted to stabilize both at Sept. Is,
1912, levels, and then did its darnedest to block
every administration attempt to hold prices
down to the same level as wages, or to roll them
back when they went too high.
AS to food shortages, here again Congress has
consistently fought against incentive payments and
food subsidies to stimulate production.
Just look at the fight against food subsidies
I'm Congress today. These subsidies are basic to
any program to check imitation But the House
has voted for higher prices and imitation,
through It's ban subsidies despite all admin
istratiOn and labor pleas; and the Senate is now
threatening to do the same.
In word, the voters who answered this Gallup
poll turned against the people who have been fight
ing to remedy their grievances, and threw their
votes to the anti-admnistration crowd that Is re-
sponsible for the troubles that irk them most.
Of the time; and it's equally obvious that the CIO
In Its political campaign has a tremendous educa-
tional job to do to bring the real issues home to
the people, and to show them who are their friends
and who are their enemies

Barking Up The
Wrong Tree

It's an old democratic custom to blame the gov
eminent" whenever anything goes wrong.
But lot of the boys on Capitol Hill to
be having it both ways. They're the government
themselves when they pass laws to cripple the adj
ministration's home-front program but they join
the rank and file when 1t comes to blaming the
government for the results of their own actions.
AS result, there seems to be some confusion
in the minds of many voters, to judge from recent
Gallup poll of public opinion.
A number of voters who shifted to the anti
administration side in recent elections in New York,
New Jersey and Kentucky were asked about their
chief complaints against the Roosevelt admins
tration.
