ORDER IS UPHELD

WASHINGTON, March - up -
The War Labor Board, divided 8
to 4, ruled today that an order
requiring maintenance of union
membership among newspaper ed
itorial employees would not be an
abridgment of freedom of'the press
or a violation, of the first amend
ment to the constitution.
The board directed, however,
that union maintenance orders GOV
ering editorial employees shall in
clude a special additional clause
designed to further implement
and EXTEND, a provision in the
constitution of the CLIO. American
Newspaper Guild guaranteeing that
no member. may be expelled or
penalized for anything he writes
o.. fails to write.
The split decision found the four
public members voting with the
labor members to form the MAORI
ty. -
TIL e four industry members
wrote a dissenting opinion and the
four labor members wrote con-
curing opinion sharply alta cking
the views of the industry group.
Chairman William H. Davis
wrote the majority opinion in a
case involving the Patriot compa-
ny, publisher of the Harrisburg
PaD Patriot, and the Newspaper
tween the boards policy on union

security and the freedom of the
press" A number of other pub
fishers participated in the argu-
ment, heard last October, includ-
ing the New York Times, Time Inc.
Scripps-Howard, Minneapolis Star
Journal, Tribune and Daily Times
and the Washington Evening Star.
The decision was one of general
policy and its application to speci-
fic cases, including that of the Pa.
triot company, was left to the WLB
newspaper panel.

aton in the upper age groups accounts for part of
this gain Nevertheless it suggests widening exercise
of the franchise in those parts of the country where
popular elections in the full of the term are
held 1t is when the record is examined State by
State that the deplorabe weak spots show up.
Only So per cent of the people of South Carolina
voted in the general election of 940 only 81 per cent
in Mississippi and about 10 per cent in Alabama,
Arkansas and Georgia In most of the other South
ern States the record is not much better. The one
party system in the South has made it scarcely
worth while for voters to go to the polls at general
elections Often there is contest at all and even
the Democratic primaries interest frequently lags
In part, this is because SO many voters dis
qualified, by educational tests poll taxes and so
FORTH but no less important factor is the lack of
an organized opposition.

he begins to feel the years creep
up, but so far he hasn't passed out
and others have.
He keeps telling himself that his
life is very easy compared with
that of the fellows over there"
But on the long marches. he can
help figuring that, if little Johnny
has to go through all this again,
then the old men who sat around
the Stevens Hotel writing high
sounding but evGsiye antiquities
into the Republican platform, had
better begin digging their own fox-
holes. 1t may be tough for them
when the boys come back when it's
over over there.
And as I look at the old men
who wrote the party platform, some
of whom have served in neither
war 1 wonder if they realize the
responsibility that hests on their
shoulders. Whot they do and say
may shape the destiny of millions.

in session. Despite that, 1 think
he got a greater kick out of it
than Mr., Dewey bimself-and out
of sleeping in soft bed
He went out to the convention
hall the day before it opened AND
watched all the preparations that
go into the staging of the greatest
show on earth-the myriad of tele-
phone and telegraph wires to carry
the story to the country, the loud
speakers which the Republicans
were terribly afraid might fall into
the hands of Mayor Kelly's sewer
commissioner, and even the saw
ing off of the State flagpoles after
the Chicago Sun photographer
complained that he couldn't shoot
through the Michigan State flag
pole because it was too high.
If everyone took their politics as
seriously and as enthusiastically as
your husband, we would have a
better-run country. There are
others like him, however. Sunday
night, before he caught the train
back to camp, he brought some of
his buddieS up to my hotel room,
and they too are doing a lot of
thinking. They arc thinking about
what's going 10 happen after the
war.
The Republican platform had not
been finally drafted then, but al
ready word had leaked out that
the Chicago Tribune and its isola-
zionist friends were working for a
Weasel-werded compromise on world
cooperation for peaee-similar to
that of President Harding's day.
And believe me, if the Republicans
or any ether party let down the
men who come back from this war
in regard to preventing another
war-then it's going to be just too
bad for whoevet is responsible.
The men in this war are doing
more thinking than our brother
and did in The last war. We
were younger than your husband,
were without tsmilies, and war was
glorious adventure that we hoped
would continue long enough SO we
could be in the thick of it.
But in this war, not only are the
youngsters doing more thinking
but there are thousands of men
like your husband, with three
children or even more, who have
only one idea that their kids shall,
not have to 50 through the same
thing that they are going through.

Major Bong

New York Times
He is 90 He comes from a Wisconsin county
that hugs the border of Minnesota and from the
village of Poplar with a population of 461. He used
to knock down ninepinS neatly as he knocks down
Japanese planes He can drive jeep sixty miles

shooting deer again. On the ground his aim is
effectua Up in the air he pretends to be duffer
and chump at shooting. If he has brought down
twenty-seven enemy craft it's just because the aerial

bullets flying through the air
In Poplar and away from Poplar Major Bong has
a strong tendency, somewhat uncommon in our time,
to keep his mouth shut Likewise he keep his
face shut and unreadable So he is gifted at poker
and the chips don't fall where they may but on his
side He is copiously embroidered with decorations
but, Richard Henry Lee would put it, his nodesty
is equal to his merit. He deprecates himself. Last
December he blushed when you asked him ques
ton. He probably hasn't got that but the tan
hides the red
He doesn't willingly disclose knowledge. Secre
tary Stinlson asked him how "Schouten' Islands is
pronounced Ma or Bong says he doesn't know He
is no dictionary for the of magnates. He pre-
sumess that General Kennedy took him out, of the
air because he didn't want to get killed" Major
Bong has taken chances enough. All OF us applaud
General Kennedy's decision. The Major is going to
a gunnery school When he has learned all about
gunnery he is going back to the South Pacific
instructor Good luck to him wherever he goes. He's
a fine lad and his name sounds like bell.

WEAKNESS

The data on voting recently released by the Census
Bureau reveal some rather shocking weaknesses in
our democratic system. The ballot in some parts of
the country is still comparatively little used device
of government. Millions of people who are willing to
fight for their country apparently not willing to
take time to cast ballots for representatives and Of
fcals who make and execute the Nations laws. Others
are denied the opportunity
Taking voting habits whole, the record
indicates greater interest in elections since the

HOROSCOPE
"The stars incline
bat do not compel"
FRIDAY JULY 7

This is not an important day in
planetary government, but with
Neptune in kindly sway, much that
is favorable is indicated.
HEART AND HOME: Allegiance
to the foundation ideals of the Ma
ton will mark Americans who will
find this a pel'ioo of character
tests. Interest will center more
and more in the home where many
old customs, long neglected, will be
revived Prayer periods will be
conscientiously observed by great
numbers of persons.
BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Because
two million employers have con-
tributed about three quarters of
the ten billion in payroll taxes
since the Social Security law was
passed, tile postwai period will be
of special interest to American
businessmen. The protection ex-
tended to millions of wage earners
will mitigate the problems of tran
sition from war industries Astrolo-
gers as well as economists make
this prediction.
NATIONAL ISSUES: The United
States is to lead in an international
peace organization which will bring
about serious diplomatic complica-
tions, especially where Russia is
interested, the seers prophesy. They
counsel for Americans the utmost
caution and wisdom.
INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS
Danger that internal political diff
ferences will affect our war efforts
is forecast for the next three
months. The least relaxation or
failure, to work in harmony will
imperil American world leadership.
Persons whose birthdate it is
have the augurv Of a year of steady
progress Changes will be FORUM
ate and new ideas beneficial.
Children born on this day prob
ably will be sensitive and high
strung. Many may have touch
of mysticism. Success in the pro-
LESSONS is indicated.
