PRISONERS KILLED
SOVIET GUNS HIT CAPITAL OF HUNGARY

MOSCOW, Dec. 18.-(AP)- Soviet big guns were firing from newly-won positions about five miles from Budapest, throw ing an avalanche of steel against the inner defenses of the Hun gAian capital, while other Red Army units reached the Slovak border at new point, 72 miles northeast of the city, it has been reported.
 The scope of the Red Army's Hungarian offensive was 'empha- sized by Pravda, the official Rus sian publication, which said: "As many German divisions were en- gagged on the southern sector of the eastern front, as against all the allied forces in the west.'' i.
 Pravda repeated figures pur- port&g to show 22O enemy divi- sions, 200 of them German, tied up in the east as of December 1st.
 The Pravda article was direct ed against the U. s. Army and Navy Journal, which question ed whether Russia had fulfilled the military decisions at Tehe- ran.

NOME WEATHER REAL TOUCH
 OF CHRISTMAS

Nome seems be having a real touch of Christmas weather, with snow covering up the ugly spots and blanketing the unkept areas of the city with white loveliness.
 The wind, which reached 55- miles an hour in the early hours of Friday morning, subsided and did very little damage, as only a few smokestacks and windows were blown in.
 Difficult travel which usually follows a storm, was not encoun- tered by the early travellers, as the U. s. E. D. were on the job early in the marning and cleared most of the thoroughfares for trucks and pedestrians.

"A mill q Dor Foe Switches
Tactics After Unions Vic
tory In NLRB Poll

Chicago P).-Deprived of his first
fake argument by a smashing union
election victory, Sewell l.. Avery, the
1-man revolution of the Montgomery
Ward case has switched tactics in his
war on the L. S. government. Now
he's cunning against what he calls
government compulSion to join unions.
Avery is back in his field headquar-
ters in the Montgomery Ward & Co.
general Offices by consent of the PreSi-
dent and not by virtue of victory. A
federal court judge has thrown out the
mail order case without ruling be-
cause the government has turned the
business back to Avery and his COM
pany.
Withdrawal of government from
operation of Ward followed double
victory for Local 20, United Retail,
Wholesale & Department Store En-
ployees (CIO): 2,430 to 1,565 in one
unit, 100 to % in another. The unions
victory in the NLItB poll destroyed
Avery's original argument that he
would not extend contract with the
union because he did not know whether
it still represented his employees.
As result the mail order house

Hemisphere Role
Is Asked By Labor
Spokesman For AFL. CIO
Tell Inter-Americdn PurleY
Unions Must Be Consulted

New York (FPo.-A chance for or
economic planning and development in
the western hemisphere was asked by
AFL International Represent tt iv @
Robert j. Watt and CIO Secretary
Treasurer James B. Carey May II.
Both made their demand for labor
representation at luncheon given by
the L. s. Chamber of Commerce for
delegates from u American republics
attending the Conference on Inter
American Development here. The con
ference was called by the Inter-Ameri-
can Development Commission, which
represents business and government
Wondering aloud ''why labor has
been left out" Carey told delegates
the only way to insure that indus
trializatiOn of Latin America will not
undermine L. $. living standards is to
give labor a genuine and responsible
role" in the planning machinery.
Carey proposed creation of an inter
American production and planning
council, which would include repre-
sentatives of the labor organizations
of all the American republics. This,
he said, lis the road to genuine Ameri-
can solidarity, economic securit v,
inter-American understanding and good
neighborliness."
Watt made Il similar plea pointing
ont that the problem Of labor in the
new world is the choice between Ia
Dor front under Il dictatorial setup and
Il strong, independent and representa-
tive labor movement Joining with
strong and representative organiza-
tions of business and management I'M

Respect
Democracy!
By RUTH TAYLOR

Father Wilfrid Parsons brought out
an interesting thought recently which
expressed a great deal of what is
wrong i'm our attitude toward govern
ment. He said that we are too apt
to treat legislation as a sports event
that bill may be carefully and
thoughtfully worked out and brought
before Congress but when the vote is
taken the headlines read "Such and
such a side won"
This is strong indictment. Is legis-
lation to be battle of wits-or a
genuine effort to bring to pass a law
for the betterment of all the people
Must there befa winner and a loser in
government? Or is this government
of the people and for the people?
We must be more dignified in our
concept of public life We must make
it not a sport event where the clever
est is the best, but career in which
a man does the best he can. We need
to treat with as much respect the oath
of office as we do the physicians oath
Have you heard the surprise with
which foreigners greet many of our
democratic" vitriolic attacks upon
those in authority. 1t starts with sur
prise but then it turns into sort of
derision, asking, ''Is this demOcracy?"
If you would understand why they
feel this way. read the legislative news
in your morning peper critically, not
with amused tolerance
Only as we take seriously our duties
as citizens, prayerfully, earnestly seek
ing out the best men for the job, re-
gardless of the party or the creed to
which they belong, then Identifying
them with respect and expecting of
them due recognition of the RESPONSE
bility they owe--not to the voters who
elected them, but to all the people of
the United States-only as we act this
way can we properly dignity the
process.
Let us show what we really mean
Dy government of the people, by the
people. Let us stop thinking of it as
4 race or a glorified advertising com
petition and treat our government as
we would have outsiders consider it.
If we don't respect the democratic
process, we can't expect our world
leighborS to do so.

paign Of misrepresenting maintenance
of membership as a closed shop and
C hargi ing the administration with
thereby compelling" workers to join
unions.
Secretary of Commerce Jesse III.
Jones, in returning the plants to their
owners as NLRB polls closed, stated
that productive efficiency of such
plants and facilities prevailing prior
to the existing and threatened inter-
ruptions of production has been re-
stored" President Roosevelt, comment
ing on the end of government control,
said the company had agreed to re-
new its contract with Local 20 if the
union won.
Avery promptly denied that the COM
pany will renew its contract. The cleo
ton, he said, settles nothing except
whether the union represents ma
iority of Wards workers" Also
Ominous as an indication of future re-
laticns is the unions charge that
nothing has been done about union
members fired by Ward executives
during government control.
Samuel Wolchok, international presi-
dent of the union, has wired the Ma
tiOnal War Labor Board asking it to
order extension of the old contract
until q new one is negotiated.
The company head disclosed the
political animus behind union busting
in a statement that reserved its strong
est language for what he termed "a
of federal dictatorship that
has accumulated during the last 10
years and threatens American free
dom"

Ky.), made the closing speech in which
he correctly said "a vote against clo-
ture is a vote against the BILL Bark
lev also decried the efforts of the re-
actionaries to attack the bill through
its supporters. But whether the de-
mands on his time are too heavy or
he, himself didn't wish to, Barkley
threw little weight into the fight to
get the bill across.
For the same of record il should be
stated that on Nov. %, 1942, when the
senate last voted on cloture for a poll
tax repeal bill, Senator Ralph o.
Brewster OR, Me- voted for cloture.
This time Brewster switched to the
side of the southern Democrats.
Another Republican who changed
sides to assist the reactionarieS was
Senator Eugene ID. AIillikin of Colo
RADIO
On the credit side of the ledger,
Senator William LANCER OR, n. D.
voted for cloture this time after being
aga inst it in 1912. The same is true
of Senator Scott w. Lucas Cd, I'D.
SO the poll tax bill goes back into
the pile Of unfinished business. Despite
hopes of some friends of the measure,
there is no real chance that ii will be
again called up.
