Says the popular weekly:
Westbrook Pegler, in his widely read
syndicated column, has hammered o r
years at the National Maritime Union,
among other things. This is a seamen's
organization led by Joseph Curran, and
Pegler insists that it is Communist front.
Instead of answering Pegler's charges
with facts, the NMU leaders habitually
content themselves with spreading per-
sonal abuse of Pegler-the old, familiar
name-calling, character-assassinatio tao
tics for which the Communists in this
country have long been famous.
This business reached climax with
the recent picketing of the New Y ork
World-Telegram Offices, fountainhead of
Pegler's column, by about 1000 NMU
members. The picketers sent in a delega-
ton to the managing editor to demand
that Pegler's column be killed out of the
paper for keeps.
you people better watch out" the dele
cations leader was reported by the New
York Times to have stated. IF you don't
remove this guy, you'll Lave more than
picket lines around this office. We're CIV
ing you warning now"
The answer was that Pegler's column
stayed in the paper.
In this episode, we have an illustration
of significant fact: namely, that the
great bulk of the demands heard in the
United States for curtailment of freedom
of speech and press come from left wing
ers, radicals, and kindred selfstyled low
erS OF the human race. You hear prac-
tically no conservatives urging that we
kill off the first article of the Bill of
Rights. It is the totalitarians who feel
that we'd be much better off if the press
were permitted to print only what some
American counterpart of Dr. Paul Josef
Goebbels said it might print
The answer to this is what it ALWAYS
was that in democracy there is no
substitute for free speech, free debate,
the right of everybody to speak his mind
even though in some cases he may be
bit short on mind. Therefore anybody
who asks us to clip or abolish freedom of
speech and press is not asking for that
alone. What he is really asking is that
we abandon our entire democratic system
Like any other human organization, I'M
ions are weakened by thieves and gang
sters. Peglers attacks on corruption do
not hurt honest unions. Corruption, and
not the critics who uncover thlevery, is
the enemy of labor organization and,
for that matter, of democratic govern
ment.

Representative Woodruff, Repub-
lican, Of Michigan told the House
yesterday that Russia had "chal-
lenged" the principles of the At
lantic Charter by making territorial
claims in Europe and warned that
the situation will give the Amer
ican people food for grave thought"
Mr.. Woodruff said the Soviet
Embassy declared a most emphatic
claim to rich industrial and agricul-
tural areas of prewar Poland" and
that the embassy bulletin also pub
lished claims to Bessarabia, Estonia,
Latvia and Lithuania.
1T Is most disquieting that the
Soviet Embassy should now lay claim
to the territory of other nations

Germans and the Russians since
Hitler marched into Poland" Mr..
Woodruff said.
There was no other debate on the
subject.
Soviet Refutes Charges.

shameless accusation Of completely

Maxim Litvinov, the Soviet Am

plane he was flying from China into
India for overhaul.
The plane was forced down on
one of the last evacuation trips out

Capt. Sharp flew the plane out,
fearing that it might fall apart al
most any moment. He ran into bad
weather on the way into India and
suddenly heard a loud ping"
Numerous other strange sounds de-
veloped. running over the musical
scale like Calliope
What had happened was that rain
loosened the glue holding on the
makeshift patches, SO that one after
another of them flew off and the
rush of air through the holes made
the weird noises.
Capt. Sharp said the japanese
must have heard the thing for so
miles away and been nightly scared,
because for several days after that
there was no sign of Japanese planes

Iron Age Declares
Military Needs Bring
Civilian CurtuiIment
BY the Associated Press

By the Associated Press
NEW YORK, March 4.-The Iron
Age said today unlimited canning
was scheduled this year for all ma jor
crops and that the quantity of can
ming metal used would equal ap-
proximately that of 1912.
Citing United States military
needs as the "only important
reason for CIVILIAN canned food cur
tailment, the trade journal COM
mented in listing the large per-
centages of 1943 food destined for
military and lease-lend purposes:
Just how the Army and Navy use
such huge quantities of canned
foodstuffs is at first mystifying.
Amass Stockpiles.
However, practically all Ship
ments of food to our forces abroad
and high proportion to our camps
at home are canned In addition,
the Army and Navy do not buy from
hand to mouth. Their requirements
include large stockpiles in many
places, and take into account losses
through sinkings and battles"
The magazine said these were
Government requirements for major
crops:
Grapefruit juice, So per cent;
tomatoes, 40 per cent; corn. AZ per
cent; peaches, SIS per cent; green
beans, SO per cent; asparagus, 43
per cent, and pineapple juice Is

The above percentages were COM
pared with the Government take"
from the 1912 pack: 27 per cent
of the vegetables, % per cent of
the fruit, 81 per cent of the canned
fruit juices, or an overall average
of 81 per cent.
The magazine said that while
such foods as baked beans, spa

get no tin plate this year, the guam
