ANOTHER MONKEY WRENCH

(Christian Science Monitor)
The race riOt-transpOrt strike i'll Phlla-
delphia is another monkey-wrench in the
war effort 1t hampers vital war produc
ton in a community which has just been
designated by Federal officials as crit
ical manpoWer shortage area and it
strikes a blow at a fundamental of dem
ocracy
Union bus and streetcar operators went
on strike--in tie face of their leaders
protests-because, the company says, Ne
gro operators were hired. That the usual
race-riot procedure which followed was
reversed. with Negroes dragging men
from motor vehicles and beating them
does not affect the underlying cause:
racial intolerance which has its roots
in an economic struggle. 1t is notorious
that a number of labor unions will not
permit Negroes to rise above certain
level of employment in America. But
why not Negro motormen and bus driv-
ers when we have Negro mail carriers
and elevator operators, even IN the
South?
With 72 per cent of the Philadelphia
Navy Yard workers unable to report for
duty and as high as so per cent absentee
ism at other war plants due to this un-
authorized strike, here is a situation
where officialdom is warranted in TAX
inc, ouiclI and severe measures.

IT WAS NOT A MIRACLE
MR. PRESIDENT

The President advises the American
press that he appreciates" the manner
In which the newspapers guarded the
secrecy" of his recent trip to the Pa
cific In his broadcast report to the
nation" he mentioned the fact and added
"t almost was a miracle.
No, it was no miracle, that the news
papers respected his wishes and retralned
from letting even hint of his where
abouts get into type, although his train
and his boat were loaded with reporters
and thousands and thousands of people
along the rail route knew his train passed
given points and many a reporter and
editor knew, too. 1t was just another
example of a pledge kept. Newspaper
men do not consider it a miracle to do
that And no one knows better than
Roosevelt that newspapers of this coun-
try have seldom if ever violated con-
fidence or a pledge.
But the head of the new deal can be
excused if he sees near-mracle In the
matter of keeping a promise, lnasmuch
as newspapers can account for many
promise broken by the new deal admins
tration as readily as such promises were
made from time to time.
The President time and again has re-
vealed his animosity toward the press at
his conferences in the White House, when
he has gone out of his way to humllate
and insult some of the nations outstand-
ing writer's. This he can do and there Is
no comeback No president has been
more favored by the press than Roose-
welt. His appreciation has been left un-
said It must be he was recalling the
vituperative, uncalled for and unearned,
abuse uttered in his conferences and in
public when he has been brought to task
for some of the administrations worst
blunders.
Was it a miracle. we wonder. in the
early days of his new deal regime when
the press printed miles of columns con-
cerning his many dream-policles? was
it a miracle when scores of representa-
tives of the press accompanied him on his
fishing trips aboard a battleshlp and
when the writer's were permitted to file
reams of publicity about these trips!
Was it a miracle when the press heard
his boasts that eve planned it this way
in the lush days just before the new deal
program plunged the country into
second and more damaging depression,
and recorded it all. CAT Washington it
was labeled a recession.) Was 1t mir
acle that the press went along with his
impossible and business-murder MA set
up?
If there was anything of the miracle IN
the press keeping faith in the recent trip
it was when editors were amazed to near
that the President admitted a civilian to
his special car while enroute for poll
tical conference. At least the rumors
were so strong that this thing happened
that newsmen accepted it as fact and
the party or parties never have denied
the reports.
The miracle. is Mr.. President that you
even think of mistrusting the press, And
it is we'll to note that the press will be
the last institution in this country to fall
before he control-mad new deal admins
tration. It intends to stay free and in
dependent whether you believe in it or
not, Dr. New Deal.

The drawings are held in all sorts
of ways. Company D puts the names

rolls the dice Men stand quietly,
not speaking buddies who fought
with them through the New Geor-
gia and Bcugainville campaigns.
They clear their throats like high
school valedictorian; they refuse to
attend the drawing, and wander off
by themselves along jungle trails.
Some of these drawings are held
SO close to the lines that security
guards must be posted against
snipers and possible ambush.
Men stand up and offer 20 and
so to one that they won't be chosen
for the glad trip home, and their
voices betray the hope they'll lose
their bets They hover around the
chaplains, seeking Divine interces-
sion.
