(2) The power assumed by
OPA to suspend the rights of in
dividuals or businesses such as
restaurants to receive rationed
goods amounts to the taking of
private property without due pro-
cess of law. Suspension orders di-
rected against merchants require
the guilty" business man to dis
play his guilt" to the public at
large in the same fashion as con-
victs in medieval times were
branded or mutilated for the pur-
pose of drawing public ridicule
and contempt"
(S) The OPA violates the sane
tity of the home through an army
of enforcement agents.
''The illegal, useless and con-
fiicting regulations promulgated by
the OPA are creating such great
confusion that it is impossible for
the average citizen to know how to
comply" the Congressional report
said. THE committee believes that
the facts here presented reveal
practices which might con-
ceivably lead to the undermining
of our basic Constitutional 'pro-
visions for separate and indepen-
dent executive. legislative and ju-
dicial departments of government.
1T follows that concentration of
all three categories into the hands
of the executive branch with
merely a limited and circumscrib- /
ed review by the courts violates a !
basic principle of the Constitution
and constitutes a dangerous APP
prOach to totalitarianism.
Since a Democratic majority
signed this report. it can hardly be
termed political" although no
Democrat can overlook or deny the .
fact that the original OPA act was
passed by a predOminantly Demo-
cratic Congress at the insistence
Of a Democratic executive.

Milford. Friday, December IL. 1914;

1T IS BECOMING quite clear
that the nation demands and is
ready for a change in Washington
government personnel. 1t is like
wise becoming clear that such a
change, far from interfering with
the war effort or hampering the
peace, may well facilitate and i'm
prove both. That appears to be
the popular feeling. as just dem
Onstrated in the Kentucky, New
York. New Jersey, and Pennsyl-
vania elections. There. in all races.
Republicans defeated Democrats.
BY the most conservative inter
probation. those Republican vic
tories are sharp warning TO the
New Deal that the citizens gener-
ally are tired of reprehensible po-
litical practices at the war eff
forts expense. They resent the
stubbornness of petty bureaucrats
that has led to dangerous short
ages in critical areas-nOtably Pc
troleum. They denounce the tim
OrOus bureaucratic backing and
filling where organized labor and
its demands are cOncerned-no-
tably in the vital matter of coal
mining
The citizens have lost patience
with OPA confusion and bungling
in what it mistakenly terms price
control" They are fed up" with
the federal aim to control and di-
rect every act of citizens lives.
and with federal willingness to go
to whatever devious lengths TO eff
fectuate that control-even TO
evading statutory laws.
Above all. the general citizenry
are resentful and worried over
the New Deals shackling of free
enterprise-its shackling OF in
dustTy. business. and agriculture:
the commonwealth life blood.
big Business mass production
feeds not only itself: it also
sustains little business and the
pOpulace. And in other respects
where domestic affairs are badly
tangled. the citizens are weary of
Mr.. Roosevelt's deliberate blind
ness-his stubborn silence and in
action.
Mr.. Roosevelt is first a politi-
clan guided by a politicians pre-
cepts. Certainly he has shown no
indication of craftsmanship in his
performance on the home front.
His greatest successes" have been
achieved by two methods; ID
Enormous. prodigal spending of
public funds. and (2) playing" to
the economically and politically
disSruntled. Both methods proved
highly effective ways to aggran-
dize federal power. With the war.
however. both have ceased to be
effective. In the recent local and
state elections. TO repeat, Mr..
Roosevelt has been given warn
ing. 1t is later than he appears
to think.

The spokesman said 10000 to
$4,000 men were in the Japanese
spearhead approaching the Chinese
forts along the Yangtze river west
o. Ichang, strongpoint 295 miles

jectiVe, he added, was first to de-

troops. mechanized units and NUM-
tons all The way from Shanghai to
Ichang, he said.

week by Sol Stetin, TWU regional
director, to meet as soon as pos
sible to act on the unions new
national wage policy adopted Nov.
II by the TWU National Executive
Council.
The TWU is asking for general
wage increase of at least 10 cents
an hour, which would be in excess
of the War Labor Boards Little
Steel formula limiting pay in-
creases to IS per cent above the
level Of January 1941, Stetin said.
In his letter to the New Jer-
sey locals, Stetin pointed out
that labor's acceptance Of the
Little Steel formula had been
based ON the assurance that
prices would be rolled back. Not
only have prices continued to
advance, but wages have been
frozen, he said. He urged the
locals to make It their immedi-
ate business ITO translate the
unions national policy into
action"
The New Jersey TWU Is broad
casting Its views on wages, prices
