Debunk
Republican
CIuins

NEW YORK, N. Y. Oct. 10
Debunking Republican claims
that foreign policy was no long
er an issue in this campaign,
James P. Warburg, CIO Polit-
ical Action Committee staff
member and author and author
ity on international affairs, told
foreign language groups here
this. week that. the COPS cam
paign literature twas playing
politics with our own foreign
relations"
Warburg illustrated his point
by quoting sentence from the
Speakers Handbook, recently
issued by the Republican Ma
tional Committee, which stated:
"The opportunity we once
had to enforce by tracing some
measure of idealism on our Big
Allies and by the same means
to protect Americas security
and economic interests after the
war-has been lost"
Commenting on this, Warburg
added: According to the Off
cial Republican handbook, the
peace has already been lost. Ac-
cording to this extraordinary
document, America has a mono
poly on idealism. Britain Rus
sia, China and all the countries
of Europe are cynical material
lists who would only follow an
idealistic path if forced to do
so by the United States, and
the opportunity to force them to
do so by trading has been lost
by Mr.. Roosevelt. Do you want
any clearer proof that the basic
Republican philosophy on inter
national affairs is still the Dol
lar diplomacy of Herbert Hoo
yer? Foreign policy is an issue
in this campaingn; perhaps the
most important issue"
Warburg contrasted the cou-
rage and leadership of the late
Wendell Willkie with the record
OF falsifiction and partisanship
of Tom Dewey and his support
ers.

In the past two weeks l have
been bitterly criticized for my
last two columns. One COM
mentator even went so far as to
place the blame on our shop
committee. He also thinks
should write letter of apology
to the company and hang my
head in shame.
In defense of my column. the
committee and Local IL, allow
me to point out that the condi-
tions I mentioned were my
own opinion, as was printed. Let
me further point out that one
of the critics of my column and
the committee, has never Ito my

neither did he vote for any COM
mitteeman. These columns have
however served a dual purpose,
part of which was to bring our
reactionary group out into the
open. And in spite of this group
1 am going to cooperate with
Local II and our shop COM
mittee in trying to obtain all we
possibly can, for our employees
in service, and have better con-
ditions for them when they re-
turn. In my opinion nobody but
company-minded reactionaries
would attempt to blockade such
a movement.

ledo Steel Products are still
fighting it out for league leader
ship. Both games have won il
games and lost two and the bets
are being made.
Standard Commutator came
through to hold on by taking
three games from the DeVilbiss
team with Cap Wekwert com.
ing up with 658 total for the
evening. Cap had games of 225
and 256 to reach his good total
for the evening. For the losers,
Harry Heldt's 203 and Hank
Laurich's 222 were high. Despite
Wekwert's high score, the games
were even until the last few
frames of each game.
Fred's Have 1t
1t was the night for the Fred S
when the Toledo Steel Products
two Freds, Fred Holden and
Fred Wight rolled $50 and 555

to a three game victory over
the Bingham Stamping boys.
Both Fred's were hot and the
results were never in doubt for
a minute.

close contest all the way with
Frank Molik of the Gordon's
nearly, but not quite saving the
evening for Gordon's with a 576
total. E. Turski of Gordon had
a 206 game.

Deer Reported
Plentiful In
Michigan

LANSING, Oct. 18 - More
deer have been counted in re-
cent weeks than were seen a
year ago in "a of the 40 Mich
igan counties in which the an
imals may be hunted legally,
the conservation department re-
ports.
Preseason deer censuses
made by conservation officers
while on patrol indicate deer
have increased in 10 upper pen
insula counties and in "a coun-
ties in the lower peninsula.
Overall averages above and be-
low the Straits also are higher,
on the basis of officers reports.
Increases are attributed to the
light winter of 1943-44 with
consequent reduction in starva-
ton loss. Fawns came through
the winter in good shape.
Upper peninsula counties in
which more deer have been
counted recently are Baraga,
Chippewa, Delta, Dickinson, Co.
gebic, Houghton, Iron, KeWee-
nav, Marquette, and Ontonagon.
Lower peninsula counties in
which deer herds appear to have
increased are Altoona, Antrim,
Arenac, Benzie, Charlevoix,
Cheboygan, Crawford, Gladwin,
Grand Traverse, Iosco, Kalkas-
ka, Leelanau, Manistee, Mason,
Muskegon, Montmorency, New
aygo, Oceana, Ogemaw, Osceola,
Oscoda, Otsego, Pressure Isle,
and Roscommon~
Censuses are based on num-
Der of deer seen per hour of
patrolling.

A Soldiers
Letter

EDITORS NOTE: For some
time, labor and liberal groups
here at home have been con-
cerned over the attitude of the
servicemen fighting overseas.
Fed daily lies by the anti
labor press, it was feared our
soldiers would return home
angry and prejudiced against
labor. 1t is therefore hearten-
ing to see such report as the
following, which demon
strates that our soldiers are
not falling prey to the trap
set by reactionaries but re-
alize that their future is inter-
twined with the cause of liber-
aliSm.
The letter was written by
a soldier serving in the South
Pacific with Army Air Force

PAC Efforts
RedoubIed
This Week

NEW YORK, N. Y, Oct. 18-
Labor's political action forces
redoubled their efforts this week
to get every worker, his family
and friends registered before the
late October headlines, and de-
spite a last-ditch Republican at
tempt to cut down the vote, had
achieved some success in many
cities.
If pressure was not relaxed f,
some political observers opined,
the 1910 6 tr t o n mark
might be equaled, a phenomenal
record they agreed in view of
the large number of eligible
voters in the armed services and
the ineligibility of migratory
workers who had moved from
their home state.
Evidence mounted that the
COP philosophy of a light vote
still dominated Republican party
councils. From various sections
of the nation complaints poured
in of registration barriers set up
by Republican election officials,
and the CIO Political Action
Committee, in a special state
ment here, accused the COP of
going to incredible lengths in
many communities across the
country to sharply curtail nor
NAL registration machinery"
Republicans Muddle Things
In New York City, where
practically every union cleared
its decks for the one-week drive,
registration was proceeding at
a rapid pace. But here too,
limited facilities and stalling
tactics by Republican officials
muddled the procedure consid-
erably.
Singing out the success of Re
publican Congressional forces in
killing the Federal ballot for
servicemen and the efforts of
Governor Dewey and Bricker to
stifle soldier voting in New
York State and Ohio, PAC
stated the COP is starting on
the folks back home"
The PAC Executive Commit
tee cited incident after incident
to substantiate its claim. In
Wichita, Kan, Republican Elec-
ton Commissioner E. R. Mooney
refused a request of war work
ers to maintain evening regis
t-'ation hours because he felt
in voting quality, not quantity
counts" "
OhiO's Report
In Bricker's home state, PAC
continued, only one day was set
aside or registration in Dayton
and Montgomery county, and
despite a united ple5 by the
Joint Labor PAC, representing
$4,000 workers of CIO, AFL
and railroad brotherhood unions,
D. c. Brewer, Republican Elec-
ton Commission chairman, re-
fused to designate two extra
days. This deliberate effort to

In the NJ o n d a y night
league, National Supply No.
/ and Willys-Overland No. 2
were the top teams of the eve
ming each winning three straight
from their. rivals.
With T. Steele setting the
pace with $50 total and one
game of 220, the Nationals took
the American Can into tow.
Frank Nadolny of the Cameo
outfit tried his best with a $50
total, but it wasn't sufficient to
overcome the Nationals.
Collins Misses 600
Just missing a 600 score by
nine pins, D. Hofsing of the Ma
tional Supply No. 2 tie a m

AS a result, WHY'S swept their
series from their rivals. Fred
Croll of the WHY'S was high
man for his team with 538. The
rest of the boys were fair and
contributed their bit to the
overthrow of the National 2'S.
A stubborn Willys-Overland
No. team put up a gallant
battle all the way and were
subdued only by great effort on
the part of the National Supply
No. 3 team. The Nationals won
two and had fought time do
ing it. Wolf, Zanter and Nc
Knight of the National all came
up in the 200 class and broke

Political
Action
by
Clayton
Rusch
Chairman
ofthe Politcdl'Action Commiree


On October 10 a news item
appeared in the Toledo Blade
dealing with the response of
the Federated Legislative
Committee of Penn. to the Po-
Iitical Action Committees ap-
peal for support of Social leg
islation.
This item quotes Bishop
Grant D. Bartorf, chairman
OF the Federated Legislative
Committee as saying "the
PAC has the effrontery to in
suit the church by telling it
what should be its program.
we cannot work with a group
claiming to represent labor
when it is contrary to our
christian faith, our American
form of government and in
the last analysis harmful to
the working man himself"
l should like here to dis
cuss the statement of Bishop
Bartorf.
On the first point there is
no insult involved when an
organization asked that an
other organization join in its
support Of a social program
which the first organization
believes both are interested
in.
CHURCH INTERESTED
l do not know if Bishop
Bartorf means that his church
is not interested in social leg
islation, but if he does, such
a position does not in my
opinion, represent the position
of the American churches.
AS to the program of the
PAC being contrary to the
Christian faith, l would like
to point out first of all, that
many active church members
are members of PAC. Second
ly, wish to point out that the
program of the PAC is to pro-
mote full employment and
adequate social security. We
also consider human rights
more important than property
rights.
If such a program is con-
trary to the Christian faith,
then the books / have read
on the subject and the speak
ers / have heard on it were
certainly a contrary posi-
ton. l would be interested in
having explained to me just
what is unchristian in seeking
to improve the lot of those
who labor.
Christianity certainly rec
ognizes the dignity fo labor
and that the importance of
the Individual be not crushed
by mnopolistic industrial or
ganiZations.
The last point raised by the
Bishop is equally hard to un-
derstand for the program of
the PAC is based upon the
clearest conception of the
American form of govern
ment.
MAJORITY RULE
According to our demo-
cratic constitutional form of
government the majority of
the people are supposed to
rule through their elected rep
resentatives.
It is an undisputed fact that
most people have to work for
living. Labor comprises the
vast majority of the public
and has a sacred obligation
therefore to be active in pol
itics and to promote social
legislation.
We of the PAC feel that our
program is in the best tradi-
ton of Christianity or any
faith which is based on the
brotherhood of man. We also
believe our program is in the
best tradition of the American
Democracy.

Bulldogs Beat
Apaches By
Score II To 0

In a very hard fought contest
here Friday night, the Douglas Bull
dogs emerged victors over the No
gales Apaches, 14-0, before one OF
the LARGEST crowds assembled at the
High School stadium in the past
three years.
The Bulldogs punched over six
points in the first quarter when
Wayne Hush plowed through CEN
ter for the tally. His kick was wide.
In the second quarter Joe Lopez
snagged a long aerial from Earl
Pottinger for a score but it was
ruled no good by officials. This
came after a march by the Apaches
from their own 20 to the opponents
20. drum majored by Joe Lopez,
Ernie Valencia and Earl Pottinger.
The half ended so with the Bull
dogs in front but the game was far
from being in the bag for the visi-
tors.
Shortly after the second half
opened up DoUcl las blocked a No
gales punt that was good for a
safety.
1t didn't take long then for the
Bulldog steam roller to roll again
when Bill .Whisnant drove over Tor
six points. In that same quarter
the crowd was brought to their feet
when another long aerial was un-
leashed by Pottinger but was drop
ped behind the goal line.
Both teams pounded each other
furiously in the fourth quarter but
fought to a standstill The Bull
dogs had to take to end sweeps
when they found the Apache line
tightening up by the excellent de-
fensive work of Ed Stoller, Hector
Puchi, Henry Hernandez, Herb
Chatham, George Grove, o. A
Smith, and Bob Ramirez.
Nogales suffered severe loss
when Ernest Valencia was carried
from the field with a dislocateo
shoulder. He is out for the season
Although outweighed Is pounds
