Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-05

TT IS uncomfortable, in this highly
L critical period of the war, that the
members of any well disciplined and
truly representative labor organiZa
ton would threaten American mill
tary success by striking even one war
production plant.
JAW unions have taken this un-
patriotic step many times since Pearl
Harbor; so many times that their
national president, R. j. Thomas,
warned them a few months ago that
unless they reaffirmed their no.
strike pledge and lived UP to it they
would suffer the contempt of the
whole American nation at the end Of
the war.
Notwithstanding that admonition
and similar grave warnings from
other JAW leaders, Detroit this
week had faced the sickening pros
pect of virtually her entire war in
dustry structure being paralyzed by
a strike of some of the $4,000 JAW
CIO maintenance workers.
These workers employed the
brutal and direct methods of high
waymen.
They not only defied an edict of
the National War Labor Board to
continue working
They not only flouted the formal
regulations of the WLB, which regu-
lations were contrived largely by
their own suggestion and almost en-
tirely for their welfare.
In effect they said to the WLB:
"To hell Nth your rules and
regulations. We Uant rUhot zoe Uant
right notU II zoe do not get it zoe UiH
stop tOor production in Detroit and
you wiH be in a tougher spot than
we."

Radicals Seize New Deal

But there is now a more dangerous influence
than these.
AS the New Deal took over the Democratic
party-so now the Communists and the radi-
Gals have taken over the New Deal.
The New Deal convention in Chicago raised
to the pedestal of power man whose ideas Of
government are alien TO the Constitution and
free representative government
His name is Sidney Himan
The millions Of dollars collected by Hlllman
and his Political Action Committee, often from
unwilling and lntmdated hard working people
of America. were too much for the New Deal
leaders to pass by.
They saw the opportunity to evade the
Hatch Act--to defy the Corrupt Practices Act

After Gov. Dewey had answered the Pres-
dent it was Hillman and Browder who at
tempted to answer Gov Dewey
They both spoke for Mr.. Roosevelt. Let's
see what they said
On Sept 2S, Hman charged that Repub-
lean leadership is waging class war against
his Political Action Committee
He even referred to some of Gov. Dewey's
statements as "brazen effrontery and unmit-
gated gall.
Now let me ask you: Who first declared
class warfare in America
You know the answer
II was the New Deal aided and abetted by
such influences as Hillntan and his Communist
friends.
If resistance TO such influences is "brazen
etrontery and unmitisated gall let's have
more of il
The time has come to drive from our ma
tional life all these apostles Of class hatred and
alien ideas and to restore government to the
whole American peeple-

True Dems Join COP

AS a result, during recent years, the Repub-
lican minority in Congress has been joined by
many true Democrats who put their country
above the party label, and who strive TO serve
the cause of the people rather than to become
puppets of the New Deal.
The Gamers, the Farlcys, the Byrds and
the AL Smiths have been pushed aside.
Instead the reins Of power have been turned
over to such White House agents as Hopkins
Frankfurter, Rosenman, Pepper Ickes. Kelly
Hague and the temporarily inactive Fender
CAST.
They know little of the real life Of America
and they care less
They want power and Jobs.

Class Set Against Class

There are certain issues in this campaign
which the New Deal cannot escape. Tonight,
l wish to discuss but three of them.
First Of all the New Deal has risen to power
by granting special favors to special groups.
1t has set class against class.
1t has played minority groups for their
political support.
1t has attacked not only the actions, but
the motives of all who dared to oppose it.
Never before have we had the bitterness,
engendered by selfish political interests, that
we have experienced in this administration.
Consider, for example, the relationship
between government and business.

Text of BricIzer's Speech af ST. Louis
Assails New Deal Record of Broken Promises

On Sept %, two DAYS later Gov. Dewey
delivered devastating reply to that speech.
He answered Mr. Roosevelts charges OF
fraud and falsehood by citing facts CLEANED
from the New Deal record.
He showed that record to be desperately
bad-"Not one on which any man should seek
the confidence of the American people"
Now, notice what happened?
Who was it that sprang to Mr.. Roosevelts
defense? Was it Mr.. Roosevelt himself?
Was it any of the respected leaders Of the
historic Democratic party?
II was not

Jobs Promised, Dole Given

Mr.. Roosevelt promised TO give men jobs
in a revitalized industrial system.
Instead, he gave them made-work and the
dole-and he completely suppressed industry
and business in this country until war reversed
the trend.
Mr. Roosevelt promised to provide an
adequate national defense program
Yet. on Dec. I, 1941, we were Inundated
with the discovery that our country was not
prepared for the malicious attack upon us
Contrast this New Deal record with that
of Gov Dewey.
When he became prosecutor in New York,
he promised to clean out the rackets.
He did such an amazing job that it caught
the Imagination of every person in the United
States.
In his campaign for governor, Tom Dewey
promised sound administration and progressive
social legislation. He promised to choose men
Of character and capacity to administer the
state government
His record of keeping those promises has
marked him as one of the great governors IN
our nation.
In this campaign, he has been honest with
the people of America.
He has given credit where credit was due
He has pointed out errors and abuses.
He has shown why it is time for a change.
The highest praise is due the Republican
minority that has held on SO tenaciously dur
ing the y long years of the New Deal
The Dewey administration will keep It's
promises and will get things done.
Finally the New Deal cannot escape the
charge that it is leading this nation away from
American principles of government.
For many years. the Roosevelt administra-
ton was able to whip the Democratic party
into line.
1t finally destroyed the Democratic party.
The New Deal raised the banner of liberal
ism in 1883, but il started to march backward
toward reactionary government Immediately.
1t enhanced the power of the executive.
The real leaders Of the Democratic party
have come to realize that the Republican party
Is truly the liberal marty Of America.

Recalls BroWder Statements

But what did Browder have to saw He
addressed a mass meeting in Madison Square
Garden on the same dav Hillman spoke
He declared, according tot New York
Times, that Gov. BcwcvAs victory would be
call 10 certain Europe nations "to drive out
the Communists from their public life and 10
drive out all Of tho$s who want TO cooperate
with the Communists >
He also eentAnded that n world ncace or
E2n7atlon can become a reality ONLY BY the
establishment Of the principle Of collaboration
between non-Commun'sts and Communists"
And ne again rcatfirmed without reserva-
ton that American Communists will in 1914
support Franklin y. Roosevelt for president Of
the United States

stripe have taken over the New Deal
Do you want them to take over America
There is only one way 10 prevent that from

Today millions of Democrats are following

we cannot tolerate Hillman and Browder We
are voting the Republican ticket this year"

U. S. Stands by Constitution

The American people should be given credit
for that. They always have held fast to the
Constitution, especially in times Of stress and
danger
Our representative form Of government
was established in a grave and critical period.
Each generation since has faithfully worked
to keep it alive.
1t withstood the storms Of the eighteenth
and nineteenth centuries
It Will survive those OF the twenties.
Cypicism, innuendo, flippant remarks eva
sion and synthetic humor have no part in this
wartime campaign.
Our sons are pressing the fight for freedom
around the world Many of them are suffer
ing the agonies Of death and disease.
We owe it to them and to ourselves to con-
duct this campaign with the same devotion to
duty and high spiritual purpose that they are
showing on the field Of battle.

ST. LOTIS. oct. 5-TTT fCf OF Coo.
BHckcrS oddrcSs here last night folIorS:
The issues of this campaign are becoming
crystal clear to the American people
The New Deal candidate now knows that
he must accept full responsibility for his
administration. He must stand upon his
record
1t is the duty Of the Republican party to
discuss and expose that record and to present
its proposals for betterment.
Political campaigns are essential to progress
in our republic. Nevertheless, Mr.. flanagan,
the New Deal chairman, seems to take some
credit for holding the election this year IN the
midst of war

per cent and to eliminate bureaus, boards and
commissions His failure to perform that
promise is too well known to require discus
sion.
The cost of government has skyrocketed.
More new agencies of government nave been
created since 1888 than during any other
comparable period in the nations history.
Mr.. Roosevelt promised to help stabilize
the currency of the world, and to protect the
integrity of the American dollar.
His failure to perform that promise stands
out as one of the tragic errors of the last
decade.
II helped to plunge the world into this war.

Progress Is.
Made In
Labor Problem

Encouraging progress has been
made toward meeting the employ
ment needs of Montana industry
says o. c. Lamport, state manpoWer
director, in statement received
today by A. c. Hanson, manager OF
the Kalispell office of the United
States employment service.
principal needs involved are
for woods workers in the lumber
regions and for miners and smelter-
men in connection with copper pro-
duction," Mr.. Lamport says. These
have been more than cut in half
since the states overall stabiliza-
ton program became effective last
October"
Mr.. Hanson of the local office
points out that the sterilization pro-
gram applies to all employers and
that definite restrictions are i'm
posed by it upon changing jobs,
laying men off or other indkcrimi-
nate policies drastically affecting
the labor market. These restrictions
have operated to retain full working
force in critical activities and have
enabled the employment service to
partly close the gap between de-
mand and supply.
Workers in all essential indus
tries should dream on their jobs,
he said. and no change should be
made without first consulting their
employer or the U. S. employment
service. Employers are cautioned
to issue no statements of available
itv to their men unless the condi-
tons set forth in the program are
squarely met
Those now engaged in less-essen-
tial lines who wish to get into es-
sential work should insult the en-
ployment service before making
change, in order to--avoid working
hardship on useful Industry.

| One OF the most important and

tons has been the collection OF human
l'blood for plasma. Thrty.ive blood

The dramatic story of the Red Cross
Blood Donor Service. through which

during this war that every American
civilian can contribute something to

Paul Bunyon Quiz
What is the difference between
hardWOOds and sOftwOOds?

What Is the difference between
hardw0Ods and softwO0ds?
Generally, hardWoods are broad
leaved trees; softWood are needle
bearers. These terms have nothing
to do With the actual hardness OF
the wood. Most hardWoods are de-
ciduous, meaning that they shed
their foliage annually; while most
softWoods are evergreen; l. e., they
retain their leaves for more than
one year.
Are all conifers evcrgrcens?-
No. Such conifers as western
larch, tamarack, and southern cy-
press, shed their leaves annually.
Are all broad-leaf trees hard
woods?
No. There is a broadleaf tree,
called the ginkgo, which botanically
is not hardwood. This tree has the
unique distinction of being the old
est remaining species of prehis-
toric order of trees. It is used as a
street tree in many cities.
Why can't mature trees be kept
forever?
A tree is a living plant, like a
stalk of corn, subject to natural
laws of life. Some kinds of trees,
such as aspen, seldom live more than
80 years. Others may live several
hundred to a thousand years. So
long as a tree lives it grows. AS
trees grow older they become in
creasingly susceptible to disease, in
cests. and wind throw. Therefore,
it is good economy and good fores-
try to harvest mature trees and
start a new crop before deterioration
begins.
What are seed trees?
Trees purposely left by forest OPP
orators to reseed surrounding har-
vested lands
AT what stage of its growth does
a tree develop the greatest number
of seeds
Usually when it approaches and
reaches maturity, then it IS most
vigorous and its fully developed
crown has access to the largest
amount of sunlight.
How many seeds will seed tree
distribute in season?
Species\ differ. A single tree may
release several hundred or several
million seeds.
= How are tree seeds disseminated?
BY wind, birds, animals, lakes and
streams, heavy rainfall billy ter
rain, or the ability of the seed itself
to bounce. Many seeds such as the
pines, naples, etc, contain wing
like appendages which enable them
to be carried long distances on the
wind Fruit seeds, such as cherry
and juniper, are eaten by birds,
only the fleshy part Of the seed
being digested Squirrels and other
rodents bury nut-like seeds, many
of which terminate. Cypress, tupelo,
cottonwood and birch seeds travel
long distances on the surface OF
water.
