sleep again. We could hear Ger
man tanks coming up. We
couldn't send more runners back
that night because Jerry was
plastering the valley with every
thing he had. Why they didn't
come and get us that night I'll
never know. They had about
500 men. I guess they thought
us stronger than we were.
Monday morning some men
slipped down to the abandoned
houses and found some eggs and
smoked ham and frostbitten po-
tatoes. They took some pots
and candles and cooked their
haul in the foxholes. A couple
of dozen of us, including me, be-
cause I invited myself, ate the
meal.
On Monday we had our closest
call. We decided we were so
near the top of the hill we
might as we'll go the whole way.
We had started to move for
ward when we ran right into
some German tanks. We moved
back to our former position
darned quick.
PRISONER HELPS
In our push forward we took
about a dozen prisoners, includ-
ing a medical soldier. He was a
big help, because we had only
one Company Aid man with us
and had about 20 casualties.
Monday afternoon we got
some help. Our regiments Third
Battalion fought its way through
to us. But this didn't mean we
were free. The Germans cut
them off, too. But they brought
with them a radio transmitter
so we could call the regiment
and division.
The first thing we asked for
was Air Corps against tanks.
PATS came over and did a
beautiful bombing job right in
front of us. That knocked out
the threat of an immediate Ger
man attack.
PLASMA FLOWN IN
Then we asked for plasma for
the wounded. They flew it in
to us in two Cub planes, which
flew so low they had to climb
to clear the hedgerows.
When Jerry saw the planes
flying stuff in to us they knew
for the first time we were cut
off. Things really looked bad
for a while then. But early
Tuesday morning a carrier party
managed to work its way up to
us, bringing one D ration (forti-
fled candy barr apiece and some
water and ammunition.
When we heard the carrier
party coming we thought it was
Jerry and threw grenades. The
lieutenant leading the party was
killed before we learned of our
mistake.
Tuesday morning things began
to pick up. One of our other
regiments started working to-
wards us from the left. Our
regiments First Battalion push
ed in from the right. That morn
ing our First Battalion got
through.
We felt pretty good. We knew
Jerry was going to catch hell
then,

Americas No. ] Smear Master

Only q minority In Congress has
dared to stand up and fight It, be-
cause Of fear of the cred smear"
technique on the Nazi model, Of
which the Dies committee Is the
chief American exponent.
This year, Dies is again running
true to form by making smear cam
paign against the CLIO Political Action
Committee his first order of business.
"It is high time that someone in
America challenged Martin Dies abuse
of Congressional power" Hillman de-
clared, In announcing he would make
all his committees records available
to the FIJI or any other authorities
really empowered to investigate, but
would refuse to submit them to any
freebooters from the Dies committee.
Hillman pointed out that not by any
stretch of imagination could the Dies
committees powers to investigate "un-
American propaganda" be perverted
to cover interference with the right
of American working people to exer-
else their voting privileges for the
election of win-the-war and progress
sive candidates for public office.
Now that the United Nations have
Hitler on the run, the chances should
be better for all true Americans to
call the bluff and clip the claws OF
the chief American imitator of his
propaganda methods.

With injured innocence, the polltax
Democrats and tory Republicans are
wailing and crashing their teeth about
the shameful treatment they are suf-
fering from that bully In the White
House.
He not only vetoed their tax bill,
but expressed his opinion Of 1t in plain
American which every voter can
understand.
Their lamentations also stimu-
lated the tear glands Of many Con-
gressmen who should have known
better. So they joined with the
poor prosecuted little Lord Faunt-
leroys Of special privilege in over
whelming votes to override the
Presidents veto.
But while Capitol Hill still resounds
with cries of 'he hit me" and "he can't
do that to u.s." let us inquire tactfully
whether there wasn't just a teeny-
weeny bit Of provocation on the other
side-say, some splitting in the Presi-
dents face, some trampling on labor,
some nuts to you and the war effort"
or the like.
The country elected the President
with full knowledge Of the general
program he intended to administer.
1t also elected a Democratic ma
1ority to Congress of them rid
ing in on the Presidents coat-tails-
and rather naively assumed his party
would back him up in enacting this
program.
But no sooner were elections over
than most of the polltax Democrats
Joined the Republican opposition In an
unprincipled combination to fight the
administration and to defy the coun-
try's wishes.
The majority thus formed has lost

The CLIO Political Action Commit
tee has taken the offensive against
Martin Dies, whom Chairman Sidney
Hillman calls Americas No. Smear
Master"
Six years ago this polltax Congress-
man was given an appropriation and
a committee to investigate "subversive
and un-American propaganda"
Since then the Dies committee has
done nearly everything else but
what It was instructed to do.
1t has concentrated chiefly on the
most brazen, scandal0us and un-
supported smear campaign against
CLIO unions, the Roosevelt admins
tration and all liberals and progress
sives.
Before long, 1t became clear that the
Dies committee was the fruit Of an
anti-New Deal conspiracy on the part
of polltax Democrats and tory Repub-
licans.
The Republicans were speedily re-
warded for their support of the COM
mittee by its election-time smears
against Frank Murphy in. Michigan,
gilbert Olson In California and other
progressive Democrats.
But although the real character Of
the committee was soon revealed, 1t
has been continued in existence year
after year by those who started 1t.

Here's good sense from a Congress-
man-Rep. Outland d., Calif.), speak
ing about the Washington Times
Herald, the capitals own end Of the
Cormick newspaper Axis:
"In the meantime, the war effort In
particular and American democracy in
general, will be better served II all Of
us, press, citizens, yes, and even Con-
gressmen, will bear in mind that we
are not fighting the war of 1922
neither are we fighting Russia.
1--WE should not be fighting Presi-
dent Roosevelt and his administra-
ton; we are fighting a war against
Japan and Germany and the vicious
rotten system that they both repre-
sent. Washington's so-called independ-
ent newspaper would be doing Ito
country great service II 1t stopped
publishing such cheap un-American
editorials"

Mefhinks They Do Protest ] 90 Much

not q single opportunity to insult,
smear and Obstruct every effort Of
the President and his administra-
ton to carry through win-the-war
domestic program.
1t has opposed with particular Bit
terness every proposal that would
benefit labor and the common people.
The President of the United States
not only has the constitutional right,
but also the obligation, to veto any
legislation which he deems contrary
to the national interest. And there Is
still no law against using plain and
understandable language-even about
taxes.
Both the CLIO and the AFL ap-
plauded the Presidents veto Of .
tax bill designed to feed the greedy
at the expense of the needy, to
starve the war, and to make our
fighting men on their return pay
war costs which Congress refuses to
meet from war profits.
All honor to the minority in Con-
gress who voted to UNFOLD the veto.
And as for the wailing tories, they do
protest too much - revealing their
sense Of guilt and their fear Of what
the voters will think of them.
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-02-28

THE squealing in the country's hog
u pens over Pres. Roosevelt's veto
of the feed-the-greedy tax bill was SO
terrific 1t must have been heard even
above the roar of battle on the Anzio
bridgehead and the atolls of the
Pacific.
Battle-grimed doughboys must have
wiped away a furtive tear at this cali
lous threat to unlimited slop for
Americas profit-hogs.
Certainly the press-hogs squealed
to high heaven about Ro0sevelt's
"unwise veto," "major blunder,"
defiance Of Congress-" etc.
And the hog-tenders in Congress
added their falsettos to the general
squealing. In scenes of unparalleled
emotion and vituperation, hog-tenders
of both parties defied President who
dared to set the interests of the war
and of the needy ahead Of the in
terests of their own greedy favorites.
X X X
This was the third of three out
spoken Roosevelt messages to Con-
gress.
The first exposed the fraud Of
pretending to let the soldiers vote,
without cutting . way for them
through the maze of state restric-
lions, as only federal ballot law
can do.
The second was the veto Of the
ban on food subsidies, which R0Ose-
welt rightly described as "an infia-
ton measure, q high cost Of living
measure, food shortage measure"
Both Of these messages caused some
dismay and confusion among the
profit-hogs, their press and their slop-
singers in Congress.
But when Roosevelt vetoed the tax
bill as providing relief not for the
needy but for the greedy" he really
took hold of their profit nerve and
twitched 1t.
X X K
Supporting Roosevelt's tax veto,
CLIO President Murray made the fol-
lowing points:
(1) Congress rejected the Treasury
Dept. proposal to raise a billion by
a 1922 income tax increase on cor
porations earning above $4,000 a
year.
(2) Congress also refused to raise
more revenue from the rich by re-
ducing estate tax exemptions and in
creasing estate and gift taxes.
(S) The bill continues every pos
sible loophole for the profiteer, In
Guiding tax-exempt securities, sep

arate returns for rich couples and
special favors for oil and mine
owners.
(4) The bill continues the mis-
called Victory Tax on the poorest Of
the poor, and taxation which cuts d.
rectly into substandard food and
clothing budgets of working families.
(5) In refusing to levy adequate
war taxes on ability to pay, Con-
gress proposes to make the men
and women in the armed forces, on
their return to civilian life, pay
the costs of the war which It will
not levy now from war prOfiteers.
X X X
The veto of the food subsidy ban
did not cause so much excitement in
Congress as the tax veto, because the
high-cost-of-living bloc anticipated 1t
and were even in sense relieved at
being saved from the results of their
own wrong-doing.
They wanted to show their loyalty
to the price-profiteers and the big
business farm bloc" But they feared
the wrath of millions of housewives
when the prices of food would begin
soaring still higher as the result Of
a subsidy ban.
X X X
AS to the almost unanimous press
denunciation of Roosevelt, that IL
nothing new for him or for labor.
The millionaire press, financed by
big-business advertisers, Is the most
obvious mouthpiece of predatory
profit interests, whenever their spe-
cial privileges are threatened by
progressive social measures adv0-
Gated by labor or any political
leader.
Most of the American people realize
this In any national election, when the
issues are really brought home to
them, and react in reverse to the tory
extremism Of the press.
Some Washington dopesters even
claim that Roosevelt deliberately pro-
vokes the press to win popular sup
port on the rebound!
\ X X
Much Is made Of the idea that
Roosevelt is defying Congress. But
It's really vice versa.
Polltax Democrats, elected by tiny
minority of well-to-do citizens, and
tory Republicans, elected in the alb
sence of our fighting men and millions
OF war workers, have consistently
ganged up against the progressive
national program desired by the
American people when they reelected
Roosevelt.
This reactionary combination has
come to correspond to a sort of Amer
lean House Of Lords-representing
special interests through restricted
franchise; while the gallant Congress
sional progressives supporting Roose-
Welt and labor on such issues as tho
soldiers vote, subsidies and taxes up
hold American democracy and repre-
sentative government.

the interpreting sympathy Of hus-

the present time.
In normal times John would al
ways be on hand to act as interpre-

outer" But now. when many young
wives are arriving home months
before their husbands. there are
number of inescapable misunder-
standings. These rough places
must be met with good temper
and in good faith.
Adjustments will come easiest in
the home where there are mother
and father and other children or
relatives; and hardest in that of the
widowed mother who for years has
Iavished all her affection upon her
son now in the service. But the one
thing that will make life more pleas
ant for all concerned. is for the young
wife to remember that she is really
a guest in the house to which she
has come, and that there is the neces-
sity - as there is always - for the
guest to adapt herself to the ways
of the family rather than to expect
their home to be reorganized for her
benefit.
Most important of all is the need
for sensitive consideration - def
erence shown by the daughter-in-
law for the mothers point Of view
