As Victor Riesel pointed out
in the New York Post August s,
"McMenamin, Carney and Dixon
were former membersa at good
salaries of the Company Union:
that when the TWU won the
election they lost their soft
berths and high salaries and, pre-
sumably. went back to the much
lower salaries of motormen. or
whatever else they did; but that
obviously with the tacit approval,
to put it as mildly as possible, of
the Pic they were permitted to
organize on company time and
property the strike and the cam
paign of race hatred"
Along with the NAACP woich
was first that recommended the
Army be moved into Philadelphia

that special fereral gram jury

The Inquirer and The Bulletin.
Adamant in its stand to break
the back of the stubborn tie-up
in its earliest stage, the Phila-
delphia Record was first to al
locate front-page, headline posi-
ton to an open letter character
izing as "Disgraceful" the des-
picable issues being named by
strike leaders to thwart FEPC
directives and hinder war pro-
duction. It is also notable that
concerted effort was made in all
editorials to point out the para
doxical reasoning of strike lead
ers in their claim of intellectual
unfitness of the eight Negroes
upgraded, as we'll as in the faxed
arguments attacking tho validity
of seniority rights, and the re-
tention of jobs for the employees
In the armed forces.
At all times vehement IN its
demands that the government
step in to uncover the selfish in
terests motivating the dastardly
conduct of McMenamin, Dixey,
Thompson and the repudiated
company union head, Carney, the
Philadelphia Record spared no
space hammering at the fact The
strike was inspired by the UNI

poured race hatred into their

tract, misrepresented the govern

to overcome the manpower short

stated. Fright in these attacks
and vandalism we get an example
of the way hate feeds on hate.

stroys. 1t is such hatreds and

(ThdnkS to Mrs. NJ. c. NJ. =,
WaShinqton.)

To L. E. S., Alexandria: The prob
lem you presented deserves earnest
consideration. I hope that you will
weigh the facts carefully. If, as you
say. your fiance is financially able to
take care of you after marriage then
see nothing but a selfish and
greedy attitude in his wanting you
to keep on with your own job. I be-
lieve that the majority of working
wives will agree with me that it is
not best for bride to have to juggle
two jobs-that of homemaker and
office worker. 1t is difficult enough
for an experienced person.
If YOU want a home life which
includes children-then make 10
| compromise with him on this score
for he should not be given the privi-
lege to deny you your birthright. If
you do not see eye-to-eye with him
on this, then it will be better, far
better, for you to break with him
now. You may think you cannot do
( it, but it will be much easier than
giving up the very principles you
believe in. Life with him would
probably mean a hurried, harried
existence and you will have nothing
to your credit except a growing joint
bank account Monetary gains are
essential to feeling of security, but
they are poor compensation when
one is tasting the fruits of defeat
and Illustration.
But let me paint you brighter
picture: 1t will not be too long be-
fore the boys will come marching
home, and in that vast crowd I am
sure there will be fine stalWart
fellow who will want to marry you
on your own terms (and to him you
will not have to state your terms
for he will have protective attitude
toward you, and his shoulders will
be broad enough for the job of TAX
ing care of you.
