RUMBLINGS FROM INSIDE
REICH HINT COLLAPSE

Will there be repetition of World war
One in the collapse of Germany before
her territory actually is invaded? Will
history repeat itself? These are ques-
tions without doubt close in the minds of
the leaders of the United Nations. If
there are signs of Generalization of NOR
ale, this time the much better propagan-
da control will keep them hidden.
Even so soon after landing of allied
troops in France, and the initial breach
of the much boasted Western Wall, there
, are murmurings from inside the Reich.
So far these signs emanate from sheer
surprise and amaZement on the part of
the German people. The GoebbelS mach
inc has worked well within Germany
itself. 1t has assured the people that no
power on earth could cross this wall. and
when authentic reports began reaching
the German people that troops had land
ed and that they were engaged with the
soldiers of Hitler on the safe side of
the barrier. came the cold facts to repud-
iate the bc2sting pronouncements of
Goebbels.
How soon the element of surprise and
wonder will begin to turn into complaints
and then into loss of confidence IN the
fuehrer's leadership, of course, is oues-
tion. But that change will not be long
IN coming because OF If.e weeks anu WeehS
of terrific bombing of Berlin and every
other large military center in occupied
londs and Germany itself. Wasn't it Goer-
ing himself, creator and director of the
] uftwaffe. who assured and re"ssured
TIE people that not an allied bomb could
or would fall within the confines of the
Reich? The mighty bedecked Goering
continued these boasts until his voice
could not he Eeard because of the burst
ing allied bombs.
Considering this alone, it is not an idle
Cuess or dream that the German people
will follow the pattern Of the other war
and overthrow their military overlords.
even before the victorious allies reach
and pass the old Maginot line?
Ard if this collapse should come, what
then? Surely not repetition of the 1918
armistice.

For the first time, labor in
America took to the legislative
job as o full-time affair, not
something that can be done In
q fire-alarm fashion, dashing out
full speed at q time of crisis and
meekly creeping back after the
crisis is over.
Today, CLOS legislative pressure
is felt in Congress-not enough. Of
course, because Congress still runs
hog-wild on many issues-but 1t
registers, because CLIO organized
the legislative job In 1943 and
made 1t a continuous, steady affair
involving millions Of voters.
VISITS TO CONGRESSMAN
When a Congressman goes home
nowadays, for example, he doesn't
look forward to pleasant inter-
Jude of building political fences.
The CIO-and the CLIO Women's
Auxiliaries along with it-see to
It that the Congressman spends his
recess hearing from the folks who
sent him to Washington.
This was part Of CLOS contri-
button to the nations security
during 194S. The greatest devel-
Opment, however, came In July,
when President Murray asked
Sidney Hillman to head up CLOS
Political Action Committee.
This also was something new
In labor history, contributed by
the CLIO. Previously, labor had
more or less limped along under
the old Gompers theory Of ire

ing man." Murray stated, "but the
present Congress has witnessed
the most violent and continuous
attacks ever made on labor and
labor's rights.
1.-THE failure Of Congress to con-
troll imitation has been q scandal
and q disgrace; acting chiefly un-
der the pressure Of the so-called
farm bloc, which Is really made
mp mostly Of big businessmen and
prOfiteering middlemen masquer-
aiding as farmers, Congress has
systematically crippled all effec-
tive efforts to hold down the cost
Of living, and has opened the door

tion."
Murray characterized the Polite
al Action Committee. which already
has held conferences in Philadel-
phia. Birmingham, Dallas, Mime
apolis, Detroit, Seattle, San Fran
cisco, Los Angeles and Cincinnati,
as the first American organization
to be founded ito protect the rights
Of the working man, the farmer, the

that, since the program has been

organization, with regional Offices,
staff, connections with labor and
all progressive organizations-and,
most significant to the professional
politicians-money, 100000 worth
of it, as a starter.
PEOPLE WANT ACTION
The people want political action.
They're looking forward to 1914.
They demand something better
from Congress than the record of
disruption and sniping at the war
that has marked pervious sessions.
All they need Is the organization
and the apparatus to make their
demands articulate-and in 1913.
CLIO gave them this organization.
Add another first on political
action; the enrolment Of women
on o large scale as progressive
force in American political life.
This new factor, stated by Pres
ident Murray I'm a speech to the
CLIO Congress of Women's Aux
iliaries, will bring the strength
OF millions of wives, sisters,
mothers of CLIO members to the
win-the-war, liberal side I'm the
1914 election and beyond.
Organization, legislative work,
the formulation and pressing home
of programs to strengthen the ma
ton for victory and just peace,
nationwide political action, the
great campaigns for better wages
to meet rocketing living costs
these advances marked CLOS year
on the home front in support of
the fighting fronts abroad.
INTL. LABOR UNITY
In previous years. issues such as
these-the so-called domestic Is
sues"-marked the limits of labor's
action. But just as the home front
and the fighting fronts are tied in
separately together, so are the
domestic" issues tied in with "for-
eign" affairs.
CLIO, under Philip Murray's
The CIO news. (Cumberland, Md.) 1942-????, 1944-01-03

leadership, showed again In 1S4S
that foreign affairs and domestic
affairs are tied in, and that labor
will not cOnfine itself to the one
at the expense Of the other.
Acting early In the year, Pres
ident Murray pressed the demand
Of the CLIO for genuine interna-
tional labor unity, based on full
equality and recognition of all
the trade unions Of all the Unit
ed Nations.
Urging this point, to the intense
displeasure of certain AFL officials
and to the annoyance of their likes
in Britain, Murray succeeded in
getting the conference called in
London for next June that will lay
the groundwork for just this kind
of unity-unity of all workers of
the United Nations to win the war
and make a good peace after the
victory.
HOME FRONT TOO!
This heightened interest Of labor
in its fellow-workers in other coun-
tries reached a high point at the
9th CLIO convention, where Murray
welcomed the invitation to the
London meeting and where the
delegates unanimously approved his
actions.
Unity on the international
fronts demands unity at home,
and here again the CLIO, with Its
consistent fight for unity of all
races and all national origins In
this country stands out In the
record of 194S.
Acting in January, Murray set
up American labor's first function

throughout the U. S. and the world.
In setting up permanent commit

acted to implement still further

FIGHT NOT OVER
The point to remember is-and
this Is the encouragement in the
whole picture-that the CLIO fought

Brentwood Station
Closing Protested
Monpower Shortage
Blamed at Hearing

The proposed closing by the Balti-
more g. Ohio Railroad of its station
at Brentwood, Md, would not affect
passenger service there and would
merely transfer freight shipments
to the nearby Hyattsville station,
representatives of the railroad ex-
planned last night at a public hear
ing before the Mayor and Town
Council.
Representing the railroad were
John S. Stanley, J. D. WaEield, Carl
Groniger and N. L. Albrecht. Mr..
Stanley said the closing of the sta
ton is necessitated by the manpower
shortage.
The municipal government fore
stalled the closing. scheduled for last
Monday, by appealing to the Mary
land Public Service Commission,
which refused permission to the
railroad to close the station pending
further inquiry.
Mr.. Warfleld pointed out that local
passenger trains would continue to
make regular stops at Brentwood.
He added that charges on carload
shipments of freight into the town
would have to be prepaid. Special
arrangements could be made, how
ever, with large regular customers.
who would continue to receive their
freight collect, he said.
Mayor w. C. McVey expressed the
fear that closing the station would
tend to discourage industrial ex-
pansion since the freight agent
would be transferred to another
community.
The railroad representatives de-
clared that they knew of no reason
why the station should not be re-
opened after the war if the present
freight revenue continues. During
the IL months prior to June l. they
said. freight revenue at the Brent
wood station totaled $87 354 M

coroner, withheld issuance Of his
findings in the case.
Detective Sergt. Robert v. Murray
of the homicide squad, has asserted
that he is convinced there was no
foul play and has SO informed the
coroner. Detective Sergt. Richard
Felber, who worked on the case with
Sergt. Murray, concurred.
Nevertheless, DR.. Macdonald in
dicated that there are reasons, un-
explained by police, why the issuance
of certificate of either accidental
death or suicide should be held up.
John Pumphrey. IS, retired Navy
Yard machinist, father of the man
whose body was found clad in
woman's clothing in Kingman's
Lake Tuesday, told police he be-
lieved his son was murdered. He
later admitted the possibility of
