FEC Probers Begin
Secret Inquiry After
Cries Of Whitewash'

The House committee inveSti-
eating the Federal Communications
Commission continued its inquiry
into the 1910 sale of Radio Station
| WMCA of New York City behind
closed doors today amid charges
of ''underhand" pressure to sup
press the truth"
Chairman Lea, who joined with
Representative Wigglesworth, Re-
publican, of Massachusetts, yester-
day in opposing the action closing
the investigation to the public, said
there was no indication other men,
bers of the committee would agree
to remove the secrecy rule.
He said the majority decision was
to make public later any evidence
relating solely to FEC, but to keep
secret testimony concerning the sale
of Station WMCA by Donald Flamm
to Edward J. Noble, former Under
secretary of Commerce.
Hard to Draw Line"
"It will be hard to draw the line
on that" he remarked, indicating
there may be fight later within
the committee over what portions
of the testimony heard in executive
session should be made public.
The decision to hold further hear
ings In secret came after Leslie
Evan Roberts, former public rela-
tionS director of WMCA, testified
that he participated in what he
termed conspiracy" to "scare Mr..
Flamm into selling the station" 4"
He said he told MI. Flamm that
unless he did make the sale the
FEC would take away his license.
Mr.. Noble bought the station for
$850,000 and subsequently sold it to
Nathan Strauss for $1,255 900. He
issued a statement declaring he
wanted mo whitewash" and charg-
ing the committees counsel, John
J. Sirica, with using his position to
try private lawsuit"
Sirica Resigns.
Mr.. Sirica resigned Immediately
after the decision to close the hear
ings to the public, declaring, II don't
want it on my conscience that I
submitted to a whitewash"
1t was recalled that Eugene l..
Carey, who preceded Mr.. Sirica as
committee counsel, also charged a
"whitewash" when he resigned last
February when the WMCA sale also
was under investigation.
Chairman Lea described the de-
cision to ban the public from future
hearings as unfortunate, a mistake
and unwise." He said respect for
public opinion should keep the hear
ings OPEN
Representative Hart, Democrat,
of New Jersey, who supported the
committees action, said such
charges were without foundation. Z"
Mr.. Noble, describing the scare
Flamm" charges as absurd" said
he wanted all pertinent facts of the
investigation made public.

POLL TAX ELIMINATION CERTAIN

DECLARATIONS against the undemocratlc p0ll
- tax and favoring federal legislation for its aboll-
ton, made within five days OF each other by the
two largest bodies Of organized labor, Indicate
greatly increased opposition to the tax ana are
an augury for its certain abolition.
One of the first actions of the recent 64th an
nual American Federation of Labor convention
was the unanimous passage of a resolution offered
by the legislative committee of which President
Harvey w Brown of the international Assocla-
tion Of Machinists was chairman. The resolution
said:
Whereas the previous conventions OF the
American Federation of Labor have gone on
record condemning the poll tax as undemocratic,
n-American and unjust therefore, be it.
Resolved that this convention of the Ameri-
can Federation of Labor, assembled in New
Orleans Louisiana, Nov. 27, go on record as re-
affirming its opposition to the poll tax and sup
porting federal legislation for its abolition.
The CIO convention at Chicago pledged its
determined effort TO have Congress enact legis-
lation eliminating the poll tax requirement which
now deprives thousands Of workers and farmersl
OF the vote in states.
Commenting on the resolutions Mrs. Virginia.
mittee to Abolish the Poll Tax, said
"We are delighted to know that we still have
the united support Of labor which we have hao
from the beginning OF the fight.
II think that the organized forces of labor are
the greatest buwark Of democracy in the country j
and they have again reiterated their belief that
a free ballot is the foundation stone of democ-
racy"

GEN. FLEMING URGES SPEED
in PUBLIC WORKS PLANS

Columbus, o. QLNS).-Organized
labor's insistence that no time be lost
in planning public works projects for
the postwar period was backed here
by Maj. Gen. Philip B. Fleming, ad-
ministrator of the Public Works
Agency.
Addressing the Ohio Welfare Con-
ference, Gen. Fleming appealed to
Congress, states and local govern
ments to speed planning of works
programs $50 that if we are con-
fronted with large scale unemploy,'
ment at the end of the Pacific con-
fiict the projects can be put into
operation at once.
"Such planning as has been COM
pleted," he said, "falls far short of
adding up to a national program. 1t
is very spotty.
Actually, two-thirds of all the
completed plans are accounted for by
only states-California Michigan,
Illinois, New York and Ohio. A third
of all completed plans have been ac-
counted for by 5 big cities = New
York, Philadelphia, Los Angeles, Chi
cago and Detroit"

LABOR VOICE IN POSTWAR PLANS

determined that the workers shall have voice
in postwar plans and programs is shown by its
action at the New Orleans convention, in declar-
ing for an international organization to deal with
aggression.
The convention made it plain that the AFL
would insist on labor representation, in line with
previous declarations on the subject. Praisng the
tripaItte basis of the International Labor Organ
ization with government employer and labor
the convention urged extending
this method to other agencies to be formed for
of ost-war problems.
1T would be a serious mistake to delegate full
for world peace to the diplomats
and other statesmen" the convention said, and
voiced the opinion that "the citizenry of the world
should have voice and a responsibility in main
tanning world peace"

WINNING THE PEACE

IF WE'RE to win the peace as well as the war,
the cost of living must be kept down, and the
purchasing power of money preserved reckless
initiation that would necessarily be followed by the
catastrophe of delaton-wth its unemployment,
bankruptcies misery and heartache - must be
prevented at all cost. Let's make no mistake-a
dangerous period lies ahead. The American people
have nothing to fear, however, if they show in
the future the same common sense they have
shown in the past, and continue to put every
penny over rock-bottom expenses into the pur-
chase of more and more war bonds

COMMENT ON WORLD
EVENTS

Universal military training = COM
pulsory military Trainings getting
front-page space in all our news
papers. A Gallup poll indicates we,
or at least a majority of us, favor
such system, and even that the boys
now on the fighting fronts believe we
should establish it right here and
now, and bills in Congress have
everything mapped out, planned, and
backed by the War Department.
In other words, the thing is all
CREASED ready to go. All we need is
a favorable vote by our Senators and
Representatives and the signature of
FDR, and we are in it-up to our
necks.
War Department spokesmen say
that if we have every youth trained
and prepared to dive into foxholes
and give the enemy hell no enemy
will even consider starting another
war. They also remind US that in the
next war-if it happens aggres-
sor will start with the United States
instead of weaker nations. Which is
all reasonable enough.
The record of the U. S. in produc-
ing arms, men and munitions, delayed
as it was in the last wars, should
convince any aggressor that the best
way to assure success in the future
would be to knock off the U. S. first.
But, starting from there several
questions arise which are rather diff
cult to answer. Not questions as to
the advisability of being ready to get
at it when the emergency arises, but
questions as to the extent of pre-
paredness necessary to convince an
enemy aggressor that he should think
a couple of times before he starts
kicking us in the face.
In the first place, we have no
reason to believe the military ex-
perts have the knowledge or the
initiative to teach our youth how to
fight the next war. Their opposition
to the Garand rifle, the airplane, and
even the submarine, are examples of |
conservatism. And that is
it mildly.
If the military experts can expect |
only to teach our youth how to fight |
the last war, then their instructions |
will be of little value, and the whole
subject should be thrown in the dis
card. Even since the present war
started plans and policies have been
changed several times.
The promise of physical and mental
fitness, elimination of illiterates, de-
and subnormals can be
discounted because we know better.
We were told after, the last war
hat the general staff had surveyed
our industrial resources and mapped
plans for instant conversion to war
production. After Dec. z, 1941, we
earned that was myth. But the
War Department might think little
about such plan now and make it no
myth.
And some one might explain why
t is said that the boys in the foxhole
'avor compulsory military training,
md why we can't wait until they
.ome home to initiate it.
Second thoughts on the subject
night be far better than first
thoughts. AS Martin Van Buren,,
ighth President of the United States,
aid: "The second, sober thought of
he people is seldom wrong, and al
Ways efficient"
