Lem MARYLAND d, vice-presi-
dent of District Z, UER&MWA-
CLIO has been appointed to the
Regional War Labor Board for
Ohio, Kentucky, and West Vir-
ginia.
Bro. MARYLAND, who is a ma
chine operator at Frigidaire, GIN,
was president of Local 801,
for two years,
and is a former president of the
Montgomery County Industrial
Union Council. Q
He is the only labor union rep
resentative from this area on the
WLB. Due to the fact that hun
dreds of cases from this area go
to the Regional WLB, it is a
good thing for the membership in
this area to have a union man
the caliber of Bro. MARYLAND oc-
cupying such an important posi-
ton.
Gradually, the rights of labor
are being recognized in govern
mental agencies. Labor has rep
resentation on several inter-re-
lated governmental agencies such
as the WLB, VINO and OPA.
We know that Brother Mark

knew they could not hope to
elect him. But the general fits
their design as a snug slip-over
fits Betty Cradle, and with some
what similar effect.
The McC ormites, it appears, are
possessed of an anti-people blue
print of the postwar world. But
to activate their plans they first
must elect the right slate at home.
Washington observers expect Re-
publican reactionaries to continue
the Macarthur promotion right
up and into the national conven-
ton, in order to play the general
off against progressive Wendell L.
Willkie. This would effect the
desired stalemate which would
cancel both Willkie and MacAr-
thur. Then, for a generous con-
sideration, the Nice ormites can be
expected to throw their weight
behind someone like Earl Warren,
Hearstling governor of California,
John Bricker, Tom Dewey, or
even Senator Taft.
Questions: Does General Mac
Arthur know he is being built up
as a straw man? Is he cut in on
the deal? Or have the McCormites
so overwhelmed him with prom
ises of a brilliant future in the
White House that he is too starry
eyed to recognize the score?

This Bourbonic
Plague
By LEWIS BOOTH

One reason why the Beat-the-
Japs-First clique wants to trans
fer the spotlight to the Pacific
war area is to further. glamorize
General Douglas Macarthur, who
appears to be the presidential
choice of the nations most no
torious reactionaries.
The McCormites r even de-
handing that Macarthur be e
turned to the United States that
he may campaign for the Repub-
lican nomination.
General Macarthur has proved
to be a brave man and an out
standing military leader. Without
question, he has great appeal"
Yet men who know him well,
admit that on political issues, and
on vital world problems, he is just
a babe in the wood.
Many of the most avid of the
MacArthur-fo President fans will
be mortified to learn that he is
a divorcee, the former husband of
lovely Mrs. Lionel Atwill, a prom
inent lobbyist at Washington.
Have McC ormites, Hearsts and
Gannetts forgotten that the gen
eral is a divorce and that this
intimate detail would plague them
during the campaign and at the
polls?
In our considered opinion, they
have not forgotten nor overlooked
a single detail of MacArthur's
past. Even before they decided
on. the Macarthur build-up, they

Libby Soldier
Praised By
War Writer

A story comes direct from far
distant and tropical New Guinea
that tells of what one Libby boy is
facing there. William f. Boni, AS
sociated Press correspondent, says
there are plenty of heroes, and "lit-
ter bearers rank high in that list. =
A little later he brings Beryl Nc
Comas of Libby into the picture, as
told in the following in the Great
Falls Tribune:
While booming Australian 25-
Founders sought to demolish nest
of Jap pillboxes, the Woodworking
American litter bearers struggled
back from the front line with cas-
ualties. A pelting rain made even
stickier the morass that was already
knee deep in places along the twist
ing trail.
Just back from the forward
positions, tall, lean Pvt. Mcryl
McComas OF Libby, Mont, and
red-haired Pvt. Raymond Der
rick OF Holley, Ore, set down
| their litter In the shade of a
tree before an aid station.
Their cargo was an Aussie who
had been shot through the shoulder
He was pale after the arduous trip,
but was still grinning and asked for
a smoke.
McComas drew off his leather
gloves intended to guard against
scratches and jungle infections. He
had written in ink on them the
words. Don't bother to pick these
up, they are not yours. He went
to nearby fire, got cup of tea

pile of sandbags.

Rowland Asks
|for Work On
Troy Bridge

Senator M. D. Rowland of Libby
has introduced a joint memorial
in the state senate addressed to Hon.
Henry L. Stimson, Secretary of
War, and the War Production
Board.
The memorial petitions the Wash
ington authorities to authorize con-
struction Of connecting links of
highway and approaches to the Koo-
tenai river bridge west of Troy.
This new bridge was completed last
year but has never been used be-
cause of non-completion Of the ap-
proaches and highway.
The memorial sets forth that No.
2 is an important interstate high
way and part Of the war depart
ment's strategic network, that traf-
fic now going over the old Koote-
mai river bridge at Troy is heavy
and according to state highway de-
partment records, is dangerously
overstressed by normal traffic and
further overstressed by the heavy
transport trucks hauling essential
war materials to the west coast,
that when contract for the bridge
was let it was planned that later
contract would be let for the high
way and approaches that present
restrictions of the war department
and the War Production Board pro-
hibit the needed construction at this
time; that heavily loaded trucks are
compelled to use daily the old struc-
ture at a risk to life and property,
to say nothing of the serious inter-
ruption of interstate traffic that
would follow failure Of the bridge
now being used; that construction OF
the necessary approaches and con-
Meeting road would require prac-
tically no critical materials, and the
necessary equipment and manpoW-
er could be available without ir
any way interfering with other ac-
| tivities necessary to the public in.
