THE Daily Worker, Commu-
L mist official organ in the
United States, gives this defini-
tion of the PAC:
ut Is a nonpartisan organiza-
ton for the election Of Franklin
ID. Roosevelt rs president and
Harry 8. Truman as vice presi-
dent and for the election of q
progressive Congress"
The chairman and active
head of the PAC is Sidney Hill
man, erstwhile Socialist, Rus
sian-born leader of the Amalga-
mated Clothing Workers and
now the associate of such big
city bosses as Kelly of Chicago,
Hague of Jersey City, Ed Flynn
of the Bronx and Marcantonio
of Harlem.
TO ESCAPE the Hatch Act,
Il which no one need really
fear too much, there is a distinc-
ton, but no difference between
National Citizens PAC and the
CIO-PAC the Daily Worker
makes the distinction clear-if
you can find ii. Let me quote:
"CIO-PAC expresses the will
OF the 5,500,00O CIO members,
while the National Citizens PAC
speaks for all progressive Amer
leans, In and out Of the labor
movement. Both PAC's have
common -objectives."
In other words, il is one and
the same thing, designed to get
the same results, by the same
M n DDS - namely, passing
around the coin of the realm in
large quantities to get out the
vote. The Daily Worker hopes
to be convincing when it says:
90. Ii Is a strictly n0n-parti-
san group. There are members
OF both the Democratic and re-
publican parties on the commit
tee. Independent voters, owing
allegiance to no party, are also
well represented on the COM
mlttee."
7 HAVE canvassed their COM
L mittee and l find no Repub-
licans among them of known
affiliation. Therefore, this state
ment about the non-partisan
character of the PAC is just SO
much monkey business and we
might as well forget it.
In fact. / see no outstanding
Democrat among the officers of
this outfit, unless you spell
democrat with a small d. This

A WIFE who talks a lot is

only by talking can domestic

Therefore, this expert should

The farm people used to stroll
over to watch the machine gun

have worn off. We never see

MAYBE you have wondered
N1 what we do on these biveu-
acs out in the woods. The
machine gun tests are about all
I've discussed-the men are
given machine guns, dissembled,
and have to set them up and
start firing in given length of
time. Foxholes have been dug
at irregular intervals up to a
distance of nearly half a mile.
and men in the foxholes thrust
up targets fastened to poles.
You have to esti m tie the
ranges, fire at eight targets, and
hit a certain percentage of
them, all in 240 seconds.
It's a relatively new type of
training, begun at the sugges-
ton, ! believe, of Gen. Marshall,
who thought it better training
than shooting at fixed targets.
I'd say he was right.
Besides this, there is training
in rifle and mortar. Aside from
those, it's mostly a matter of
learning to live in the open, to
pitch tent and dig an afraid
shelter, to shave and wash in a
third of a helmet full of water,
TO spend the nights without
smoking or having any lights.
All these are basic needs of an
infantry soldier.
