he points out. Another of his
theories is: "The eye Is the realist
but the ear is the poet"
As well as writing, Corwin also
selects the actors and directs his

There will always be a soft spot
in Mady Christians heart for cleo
tricians. 1t was one of these gentry
who coined her stage name without
her knowing it, and she has been
grateful ever since.
Mady started ON the stage under
her real name Of Margaret Maria
Christians.
She was in Berlin years ago when
she got her first chance to have her
name up in. the lights. The elec-
trician who had the job of fixing
up the marquee didn't have room
for her full name. There was only
room left for a four-letter first
name, which he chose without con-
sulting any one.
Mady still admits she couldn't
have chosen better one herself.

Defends Brieker

Dear Sir:
l can't get the point of Mr..
Pecord's attack on Governor
Bricker's saving some odd rs
million dollars. There is no
reason for running him down
because he did not turn this
tax money over to the city
politician to blow in.
Since when may / ask, is it
crime to save or does MIR.
Pecord believe that we can
spend our way out of debt?
On the same editorial page
Richard Gosser had a fine ar
ticle on postwar planning.
Now how in the nam of all
that's holy could we do any
planning to care for unem-
ployment, when our boys
come marching home, if our
state treasury was empty?
Governor Bricker, on several
occasions let it be known that
this saving was earmarked for
postwar spending. Another Hi
Level bridge or tunnel over

tically assured not to mention

This Union paper of ours is
a fine one. l like the articles
on communism by Clayton
Fountain and the lowdown on
affairs as given by Regional
Director Richard Gosser. But
/ don't like the idea of the
UNION JOURNAL going
Democratic.
/ am glad | can go to the
polls and vote as please, and
if labor must get into politics

litical parties.

goes on, you too will fall into the spirit of our
Local and take an increasingly more impor-
tant part in its affairs. l urge you to interest
yourself in the organization and its many ia
cilites for pleasure and instruction. l invite
you to come down to Local IL. Go through the
building talk with our officers and workers
and see our facilities.
OUR PROBLEMS
We have our problems the same as any
other organization. The war has not been a
blessing to organization any more than it
has to others. We working under great
difficulties and seeking to make as much
progress as possible under the handicap i'm
posed by the war.
While we need not apologize for our war
time efforts and accomplishments, we realize
that our task is made much more difficult by
the various governmental agencies with which
we must deal. Thus, we, no less than other
organizations are handicapped in our efforts
to effect speedy settlement of our labor cases
and are forced to make great efforts to get
action.
We most certainly will do everything in our
power to bring about any adjustments which
you people are entitled to under the law, and
believe that we have had sufficient experience
to effect these adjustments wherever they may
be necessary. However, we cannot perform
miracles and cannot tell you that the changes
will be brought about in week a month Or
SOlHe OlleT llIlle lLIllI aIlSI all we dIS uilIGI
and not over the War Labor Board.
OUR FUTURE
Most of you people recognize and realize
the difficulties which all labor unions have
been working under particularly for the past
two years. We now recognize more than ever
before that laborS future and the welfare of
the workers is tied up with our political for
tunes. Much of our present difficulty is due,
directly or indirectly, to poSitics, and we must
interest ourselves in our political future
whether we like it or not.
want to invite all of you to become men,
bers of our political activity group and to take
an active interest in the coming political cam
paign, upon which our future depends to
great degree
1t is not my intention to ask you to become
politicians, but am asking that you become
part of our political group and inform yourself
of the facts as they pertain to labor
l shall be glad to be of service to your
Units at any time that you may need my serv-
ices, and again urge all of you to become active
members of Local IL.
OUR INTEREST
Our interest in the political situation has
been increased in the past several years q
to the type of legislation which has been
rected against labor in the halls of congredT
and the state legislatures. We cannot ignore
the political scene and expect that labor will
be given a square deal out of the kindness of
our representatives hearts.
No one knows better than the workers
that we must put as much effort into securing
proper political representation as we do into
our war production jobs Let work for
victory on both the war and political fronts
in 1914.

Your decision to become
part of Local IL was demo-

older Units which are proud
to call themselves Units of

War Department and government officials who
should know, do not believe the war will end
soon.
WORK FOR WAR
We must all continue to put our best efforts
into the job at hand the most important Joo
of ALL producing the things which our soldiers
need to bring this war to a close at the earliest
possible moment.
/ think that the most important things in
the lives of the workers at this time is to work
to end the war, and to secure government
which will prosecute the war to its successful
finish.
This means that the workers should not
only work but that they should vote 1t means
that the thousands of workers who have lost
their right to vote should avail themselves of
the opportunity to register between now and
April TO- when registrations will close until
the May primaries are over.
Whatever your politics may be, urge that
you go to the Board of Elections and register
if you have lost your vote. l urge that you
study the candidates who have filed their Pc
titions, and to vote carefully and inteligently.
BY all means, whether you are either Demo-
cratic or Republican in your leanings, take
part in the primaries.

clipping. 1t is, in the. words of
its own literature, "a move

leaders of the United States to
make available to the youth of
America between the ages of

ed practical understanding of
what makes our business
structure function"
Junior Achievement" is
also financed by business. Its
publicity stresses the fact that
donations made to it are de-
ductible for income tax pur-
poses.
Junior Corporations
The method of this outfits
operation is true to the pat
tern of American business.
Junior Corporations are form
ed, through sales of stock, in
corporation and all the other
devices peculiar to corporate
business.
These corporations then go
into production of some article
that can be sold to the public.
They set up shop in a base
ment, an attic or in a building
rented for the purpose. They
have their boards of directors,
their managers; and the busi-
ness is run in true corporate
fashion.
All in all, these groups op-
crate very much like a real
business institution, with one
exception; no provision is
made for dealing with labor
unions.
Owners Are Workers
Strangely enough, the di-
rectors, executives, managers
and stockholders are all work
ers in these Junior Achieve
ment'' Corporations. They
shift from job to job, getting
the feel of the whole works.
The chairman of the board of
directors comes down to earth
and runs a jig-saw.
Hold on, there is a smell of
un-Americanism" here!
Who ever heard of a corpor-
ate executive lifting his fanny
from a swivel chair and work
ing with tools in his hands?
Why should a stockholder
have to don an apron and
sweat at a drill press?
And isn't it dangerous to
permit those who work in the
shop to sit on the board of di-
rectors and shape corporate
policy? They might forget
about the business of clipping
coupons. They might even
work out wage rates and
working conditions which
would preclude the payment
of fat salaries, bonuses and
dividends.
Second Thought
On second thought, how
ever, there is not much danger
that the Junior Achievers"
will get mixed up about which
is most important, wages and
working conditions or profits
and dividends.
The patron saints of Junior
Achievement" all of them re-
cruited from the upper brack-
cts of the business world, will
surely steer the youngsters
along a proper course. They
will be sold the notion that ac-
QUESTION of riches-the driv-
ing force of free enterprise"
-outweighs consideration Of
wages, hours and working con-
ditions.
They will not be told that
accumulation of great wealth
by a few at the top results in
unemployment, insecurity, war
and Fascism.
And some day they may
wake up broke, at the bottom
of a depression, and start won
dering what the hell it's all
about.

REDS NEAR CAPITAL OF
 YUG05LAvIA
Soviet Forces Are Flooding Over Foothills of Alps
 Toward Belgrade

MOSCOW, Oct. 4.--RuSSian ma chine gunners in American jeeps and Yugoslav Partisans, acting as guides, spearheaded westward today along the Danube, less than 20 miles from Belgrade. Nearly all the Yugo- slav territory east of the big elbow formed by the confluence of the Danube and Tisza rivers was re- ported swept clean of German re- sistance by Red Army forces ad- vancing like flood over the foot hills of the Transylvanian Alps, more than 50 miles beyond the Danube at the Iron Gate.
 Scouts of Tito's Partisan Army ferried across the Danube to meet the Russians on the northern bank and lead them westward through Belgrade. Field dispatches said that east of Belgrade Yugoslav help speeded another Russian spearhead thrusting toward the Transbalkan railway, over which some 50,000 Ger mans in the lower Balkans may still try to escape.
 A correspondnt said he was told by an officer of the German First Alpine Division that he was cap-' tured 13 miles behind the lines by Red Army scouts.
