WASHINGTON, October 30
(LPA)-A new word has been
added to what Washingtonians
call "gobbldygook." T. is
"guesstimate." A guesstimate is
a cross between a guess and an
estimate, and is a polite way of
saying that the figures that fol-
low are pretty doubtful num-
bers.
In an official compilation Of
guesstimates on how soon after
We day the auto industry could
reconvert, the WPB's research
staff comes up with the figure
of six months. They arrive at the
figure by putting together in one
pamphlet all the statements of
the big motor companies, and
the predictions of business ma
gaines.

fore it became impossible for
any man in public or private
life to follow the Axis line in
America.
Mr.. Smythe, now under in
dictment with other seditionists,
was the man who tried to es-
cape to foreign soil, but was
caught in flight by the FBI in
the woods of upper-New York.
Senator Taft was still defend
ing Mr.. Smythe and his fellow
conspirators, as late as January
Is, 1943, long after we entered
the war.
: According to the Cincinnati
Post of January Is, 1943, SEN
ator Taft expressed serious
doubts that the 33 persons in
dicted for alleged disloyal acts,
were fairly treated.
Feels Very Strongly
II feel very strongly" Sen
ator Taft is recorded as stating
in a letter to the Nazi, Mr.. Win
rod, that the methods pursued
by the government in their
Washington indictments present
a real danger to the constitution
of freedom in this country"
When interviewed by the Gin
cinnati Post Washington Bureau
Representative, Senator Taft
said, according to the Post, that
it had been foolish on his part
to reply to Mr.. Winrod's letter.
Said the Post:
Senator Taft explained that
when he answered a letter from
Mr.. Winrod last summer, he
was unaware that the Wichita
publisher of the magazine The
Defender, had been indicted for
alleged sedition."
1t is presumed he will say the
same thing about the letter to
the fascist seditionist Smythe
which is now made public for
the first time.
Did Not Desert
Although he did thus excuse
himself he did not desert the
seditionist conspirators.
The Cincinnati Enquirer on
February 3, 1943 is authority
for this statement:
Senators Wheeler, Nye, Taft
and Clark, Congressman in the
isolationist ranks have been
holding secret rendezvous with
the attorneys for the convicted
Nazi Agent, George Sylvester
Viereck."
To my knowledge, Senator
Taft has not denied this asser-
ton.

tracts maintenance of member
ship clause.
Plead With MESA
Both the Auto-Lite Unit and
Director Gosser pleaded with
the MESA to permit the Auto
Workers the right to govern
their own jurisdiction and told
the other union that the UAW
would continue to respect the
MESA's right to handle their
own union business in their
own way.
Failing to effect an agreement
with the UAW in the Auto-Lite
cases, Matthew Smith, MESA
national secretary defied the
WLB and up to this time has
not agreed to send the members
of his union back to work.
GOsser Comments
Commenting on the MESA
strike, Director GosSer said, "the
MESA seldom strikes for wages.
When they strike it is usually
to raid another union. The issue
is whether the UAW is going to
be allowed to run its own union
according to its constitution
which is recognized in the law,
or if we are going to permit Matt
Smith 10 run it..
"The six members of our
Union who are facing trial under
the charges placed against them
must go to trial. They are our

NLRB, and we are going to deal

which Senator Taft thanked
such anti-American elements
for their moral approval of his
record, the original of which ]

The Letter
It follows:
July 16, 194r
Mr.. Edward James Smythe
Chairman, Protest War
Veterans of the U. S.,
149 Vermilyea Avenue
New York, N. Y.
Dear Mr.. Smythe:
l have your letter of July II.
I wish to thank you for your
kind words regarding the course
l have pursued in the senate.
The difficulty with any move
to impeach Roosevelt is that the
Democrats have a large major
ity in both House and Senate
constitutionally elected, an d
there would be no possibility OF
getting a majority for impeach-
ment.
l believe that any manner in
which you can bring home to
the President and the congress
the fact that a majority of the
people are opposed to their
course will have some effect in
deterring their constant course
towards war
With Best Wishes,
Robert A. Taft
In this letter which has just
now come into my possession,
Senator Taft approved the sedi-
ZIONIST Smythe's method and
program, but merely pointed ou.
the impracticability of a plot to
impeach President Roosevelt,
and he gave Mr.. Smythe his
best wishes.
1t should be noted that this
letter was written at a time be-
fore the Japs made their sneak
attack on Pearl Harbor, and be-

cording to the dictation of Matt
Smith.
Concluding his statement, the
UAW director said I'VE want
peace. We want to continue to
produce the implements of war
so badly needed by the Armed
Forces of America. We do not
want peace in which another
union tells us how we must deal
with our own members"

ers from Willys-Overland, the

of the Flying squadron and hun
dreds of CIO and AFL members.

PAC BackerS To March
In addition to the CIO and
AFL, many others have indi-
Gated their desire to take part in
the torchlight parade according
to Clayton Rusch, chairman Of
the Political Action Committee.
MANY people who do not be-
long to any union, office work
ers, a few small businessmen
and others have indicated their
wish to march next Monday
night" said Mr.. Rusch. He eX-
tends an invitation to all who
are interested in the PAC social
legislation program to join with
the marchers.
Organized For Election
Mr.. Rusch said that the PAC
was organized to get out the
vote on election day and would
be able to conduct a good drive
for votes particularly in the
wards in which large numbers
of workers live. 1--WE can still
use lot of workers in the wards
and precincts, and will welcome
the aid of any who may wish to
volunteer to aid us in getting
out the vote" he said.
Ward chairmen and secre-
taries for the PAC have been
busy for weeks in lining up
their workers for election day.
Most of them say that they are
going to be able to get out
good labor vote if everyone
works hard. They still are in
need of more workers, however,
and ask that those from wards
and precincts who are able to
work on election day contact
them through the PAC office.
