Rev. J. r. DOnneIly out against the
Communist machine assembled in
Waterbury to conduct the affairs
Of the MNN6SSW here resulted In the
formation Of q rank and file council
Of union members strong enough to
arouse the executive board Of the
international Union to action. From
the executive board the council re-
ceived promises Of reform the most
Important of which were that all
Communists would be fired from the
payroll and that this section Of the
union would be taken from the
clutches of It's Communist machine
and placed under the immediate
supervision OF the national CLIO.
Both of these promises seem to have
been fulfilled, and the first to such
happy extent that the revolt here
has had healthy effect on the In
,ernational Union In various parts
II the country.
THE COMRADES DEPART
In Waterbury the machine has
been dismantled and the comrades
who were in power here have de-
oafted for more complement
,limes. But lest the more gulible be-
,ieves that the Party admits defeat
20 easily we may inform them that
there is evidence that others have
been sent to Waterbury not as Or
ganizers but as potential union
members who will attempt to carry
on the activities. However, perhaps
the most satisfactory effect Of the
local rumpus was the arrousing Of
many OF the rank and file members
70 an interest in the union affairs
and the Party will have much diff
Guilty and little success in any new
defensive.
NEW LEADERS
The organizers assigned here now
by the national CLIO come well rec
commended. We have dependable as
Isurances that their interests lie with
tine laboring men and not with any
private social theories. We think
they should be given the opportunity
Ins complete cooperation.
We hope that they will make
amends for the faults Of their pred
Iscessors and we hope that they
Twill redeem the name Of the CLIO In
Waterbury. AS I have said many
times In the past the group who have
departed did not faithfully represent
The American leadership Of the ma
tional CLIO nor their policies. The
tCIO Is q responsible labor organi-
I1ation truly American. despite the
efforts Of many parasites to use It
FOR un-American purposes, and
heartily devoted to bringing the
support and protection Of organi-
cation to the working people OF
America.
During the past months many
pf the local unions discovering the
character Of the group in their midst
have dropped out of the union and
teased to pay their dues. But now
the evil has been corrected and I
Think that all these should get back
into their unions and be active and
Interested members. Men who can
hnd who have not Joined the union
should be urged to Join. II we are
going to build q more Just social
order in America. II we shall ever
nave an organized economic society
n which the poverty status OF all
most fifty percent Of our families
will be eliminated. then labor must
organize.

stead, they should use the wars dur
alton to prepare themselves for
marriage.
Chances are they will face a diff
ferent period of adjustment when
their men come home and seem like
strangers to them. But if they are
ready for that, are prepared for a
few difficult months, are willing to
accept their husbands as they are
rather than expecting them to be
perfect-then many Of those young
wives can save their marriages.
MUST "GROW UP"
Their real chance to make a go
of marriage when their men come
home is in using the time when they
are separated for growing up, for
realizing that they must be under
standing women, not irresponsible
kids.
If they don't do that, if they just
drift along until the war is over,
they are likely to be in the unhappy
one-fourth to one-third group.

REGIONAL RATIONING
OF MILK is EXPECTED
BY BETTY MACDONALD
NEA Staff Correspondent

Washington, July 20-Fresh milk
will probably be the next item on
OPA's rationing list, although the
program will be carried out region
ally, and not on a nationalscale.
In a recent press conference,
Prentiss M. Brown, OPA director,
modify relatively inexpensive and
limited at the rationing of COM
small" He said at the time that
he was unable to name the pro-
duct, but government experts be-
lieve it will be milk.
The reason: definite shortages
have been felt in communities where
war workers have augmented the
population, especially in the south.
The milk scarcity is spotty, but
could be regulated by rational ra-
tioning.

. MCKINNEY ON BRIDGE

Americas Card Authority

One of the most popular Of the
Bridge League executives Is its
vice-president, Capt. Benjamin M.
Colder, now attached to selective
service. In the last war he was an
ensign in the Naval Air Service.
For eight years he was a legislator
for the state of Pennsylvania, and
then served in Congress for eight
years. Before the war, his hobby
was attending bridge tournaments.
An enjoyable session with friend
was more to his liking than the de-
termination to win. He likes to bid,
and on the hand shown today you
could hardly blame West for
doubling him.
When Captain Colder trumped
the opening lead and then took
the diamond finesse, West began to
feel himself slip. You can see now
that all West could possibly make
was his three trump tricks, so the
contract was made with an over
trick,

of not eating more food than the
body requires - since reduction of
food is the one and only way to get
thinner, and there are no short cuts.
Furthermore. sound reducing diets
all contain the foods essential to
healthful living-meat, fish, fowl,
milk, cheese, eggs, fruit, vegetables,
and whole wheat bread or cereals.
They concentrate on eliminating
non-essential foods like sugar and
starches, while cutting drastically,
but not eliminating, desirable fats
like butter. In short, all authori-
ties agree on recommending the
average adequate diet--with a diff
ference of quantity only.
