The Gas Boomerang
Cincinnati Enquirer

Strange it may seem, part of the gas which Germany has been storing against the day when she might release it Allied troops has been released to damage her own defenses. Again Allied bombers have dropped their heavy loads on gas manufacturing plants on the European mainland and have set free considerable amounts of poison within the confines of what used to be thriving German cities
 Thus, while there be TO Nazi charge that illegal methods being used by British or Amer ican fliers still the effects of warfare being experienced in at least one large German center. But it is German not Allied gas that's causing the trouble.
 The possibility of poison gas warfare outlawed by international military agreement, is one which has cropped up from time to time since the beginning of the war England, for time, was particularly fearful of the possibility of wholesale banketng of heavily populated areas by gas dropped from German planes. It probably was not ethics which prevented such attacks The fact that the British armed every one-even the babies-wth masks, and the fear of eventual retaliation probably decided Hitler against such an offensive Today the Germans probably thank what gods they for the fact that their armies -refrained.
 Gas becomes an effective weapon only if the enemy is unprepared for it. and only if the user has supremacy in the air In the early stages of the European war while England was deficient in the latter she at the head of the class so far as preparation was concerned. Now, with Allied air power carrying the fight into the heart of Germany there is little real danger of outbreak of gas war fare. The Allies VIII respect the antlgaS agreement Hitler his aim weakening would hardly dare cast the first stone
 One lone possibility remains, of course In des- peration, when Allied armies battering down his last European defenses, the madman in Berlin might use gas as last gesture But it hardly possible with the certain retribution which would follow, that either the German high command the German people would allow such an outrage.
 At any rate, in the to date Germany's large poison gas supply has brought discomfort-if not death-only to a considerable number of the Reichs own defenders.

HOROSCOPE "The stars incline
 bat do not compel"
TUESDAY. FEBRUARY 8

Venus smiles on women today but adverse aspects dominate in the horoscope It is unlucky for any sort of beginning.
 HEART AND HOME: The stars favor distinctly feminine interests It is an suspicious date for we'd dings but brides must depend upon love not wealth.
 Numerous marriages in coming weeks will increase the demand for housing Actresses should be lucky under this configuration
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Postwar readjustments, according to the stars, will sustain our American system of economic freedom De- pendence upon Government aid will cease.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Astrologers warn that internal disunity will de- lay our victory. Adverse aspects for June presage peril due to political causes. The next three months must mark extraordinary effort to hasten victory
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIRS Declaring that it is possible to de- feat Germany before midsummer experts urge concentration upon war work The stars seem to indi- cate that haste is necessary if the United Nations are to accomplish their secret plans.
 Persons whose birthdate it is have the augury of a happy year but they should guard against extrav agance and self indulgence.
 Children born on this day will probably be fond of the good things of life Pomp and circumstance will mean much but they will be able to satisfy their material ambitions.

RECORD SPEAKS

Granting the fact that the great rank and file oi labor has done and is doing splendid job of war production the unions escutcheon is not as un- blemished as the proestatons of union leaders would indicate.
 According to Department of Labor figures, there were 3425 strikes during the first II months of 1943 despite the much-publiczed 'no-strike" pledge. This was sharp increase over 1922 The number of work CTS involved in strikes 3059000 an l1-month figure for l942 which exceeded any annual total on record since 1919.
 There four nationwide coal strikes, with a loss of man days four times greater than in 1922 John L. Lewis and the United Mine Workers, of course, made this contribution to the strike record AS a matter of fact the shutdown of the mines accounted for twothirds of the strike ideness dur ing 1943.
 Lewis's effect upon the national labor situation probably ranged beyond that however Undoubtedly the coal strikes encouraged other walkouts and when Lewis succeeded in exactng his terms it gave rise to

 Later, he applied for a legal po- sition with the city government, and although he didn't get it, he did become a crusading young Cleve- land lawyer. As such, he saw lot of Newton D. Baker, then Mayor of the city, later Secretary of War under Woodrow Wilson. In fact, it is probable that Burton, Republ!- can, was more influenced politically by two Democrats. Baker and Tom Johnson, than by any other two men.
 Johnson had been Mayor of Cleveland four terms, Baker two terms. Burton later served as Mayor for three terms and had an equally brilliant crusading record.
 Before the last year, Burton had interrupted his Cleveland legal car ger with three years in Salt Lake City as attorney for the Utah Pow CT and Light Company So when he became Mayor of Cleveland in 1885, he was expected to be pro- utility But one day George Me Gwinn, head of the Cleveland Rail- way Company, walked into Mayor Burton's office to complain thas the Mayor was about to make a certain move harmful to street rail- way interests.
 One of these days" exploded McGwinn, we're going to get a Mayor in here who really repre- sents the people
 Burton, who had been listening quietly, jumped up and brought his fist down on the desk with a bang, Who the hell do you think l re- present."
 If you take this action" warned McGwinn, it will be political sui eide"

wide unrest among other laboring groups.
 Some union leaders obviously admire Lewis ana his technique Actually, he has done more than any individual in the nations history to discred organ ized labor and public antagonism against It. The union leaders who have been speaking so caus- tically about criticism of strikes might have made better use of their breach had they turned their tongues on Lewis when he made the national war effort walk the gangplank
 With Lewis, Lewis and the UNIV come first-in the order named But when the final records for the year and the war are written all organized labor
 must bear the odum of his refusal to put his country first.

 Today, COP die-hard strategy is to deadlock the Republican con- vention between Willkie, Dewey. and Bricker, then out of that deadlock pull Senator Taft, man who will always play down their alley.
 But other Republican leaders not die-hards-have other ideas. They are laying plans to bring an- other Ohioan in to break the dead lock-Harold Burton. Whether they can do it remains to be seen. But. at any rate, Burton is man worth watching.

BRICKER yS. BURTON

Political scouts who have checked up on Burton recently have re- ceived thumbs-down reports from old Guard COP leaders in Ohio. The Ohio gang. doesn't like him. Their dislike began when he cleaned up the city of Cleveland (and did it so thoroughly that he got enough Democratic votes to be reelected twice at times when Roosevelt overwhelmingly carried the city) Their dislike continued when he ran for the Senate.
 Early in l940. Ed Schorr, COP political boss of Ohio, told Mayor Burton: We're going to make Dudley White the next Senator. l"
 I'm sorry to hear that" replied Burton, because I'm going to be a candidate myself"
 And he was, despite tough oppo- sition from most of the Republican leaders.

Burton and Governor Bricker had been at swords points for some time as the result of row over re- lief and WPA. AS mayor, Burton had 6o,0oo unemployed in Cleveland. Bricker had treasury surplus and was bragging about it. He wanted the city of Cleveland to get it's re- lief from the Federal Treasury in Washington, not from the State of Ohio.
 I'm not interested in surpluses, Mayor Burton told Bricker ''TAe depression should be met where ever possible by each State and locality. We can't always be run ming to Washington. We can't break the back of Uncle Sam"
 In addition to the Republican machine, Burton also had conserva- tive business interests against him, dating from his resignation from the Cleveland Chamber of Com merce.
 I'm looking out from the House of Have to the House of Want" he said, in submitting his resignation. And I find my associates uninter- ested in the House of Want"
 So when he ran for the Senate in 1940, conservative Republican leaders organized to defeat him. Ed Schorr even held a big political rally in Cincinnati where he de- nounced Burton as mot a good Re publican"

 PERMANENT PEACE CRUSADER
 Since coming to the Senate, Bur- tons most outstanding job has been as a leader of the Senate battle for Democratic- Republican cooper ation for permanent peace. He was one of the B2 H2 Senators tBur- ton, Ball. Hatch and HilD, two Democrats and two Republicans, who toured the country preaching the doctrine that world peace should be above party pickering
 He preached the same doctrine in the Senate last fall when Secre- tary Hull went to Moscow. One speech on this subject was so stir ring that Republican leader Char ley McNary of Oregon urged that he print it in pamphlet form.
 High-water mark of the Senate fight came when some of the B2 H2 group were goading so-slow Senator Tom Connally, Chairman of the Foreign Relations Commit tee. Connally's opponents knew they could win and some of them want ed to stage a spectacular show

OTTUMWA, Ia, Oct. 5. (UP) -
Four terms as president would con-

incumbency. Republican vice presi-
dental candidate John w. Bricker
of Ohio declared Thursday as he
carried his campaign into Iowa.
Bricker also questioned "the hon.

ambition to retire from the white
house in 1941, and his 1910 declara-
ton that at the end of his third

Sixteen years as chief executive
of the United States" Bricker as
serted, would not be a mere in
cumbency; it would be a reign, al
most surprising the record of the
British monarchy"
