Bartlett is the weakest candidate the Democratic
Ticket and therefore should be the easiest to defeat
come next fall and the general election.
We agreed heartily with this viewpoint-also with
some of the points made by Manders in his recent
speech here over KINY. However. we told him,
his discussion on Federal control and how the bureau
ursurpng the local power of the people was
too high in the clouds for We would prefer that
Manders come down to strafing level in his next
attack.
The response to recent comments on the
actions of several Federal officials in Alaska seems
to bear out just what have thought all along.
There is very much dirty work going on We have
received letters phone calls and personal messages
from large assortment of people many OF them
Federal workers who know what is going on but
who fear the loss of their jobs if they talk We can
understand this viewpoint in view of what has hap

"srILL WITH US, JOHN"

Chief climax of the famous Roose-
welt purge campaign was the defeat
of Representative John J. O'Con-
nor, chairman OF the House Rules
Committee and a constant thorn IN
the administrations flesh. The
President was unable to defeat Sen
ators George, Tydings or Cotton

O'Connor
However, if White House advisers
think they are rid of O'Connor, 1t
might be well for them to consult
Congressional disbursing records.
Strange as it seems, the New
York purge" still adorns the Con-
gressional payroll as s2.600-a-year
clerk" to Representative Martin j.
Kennedy of New York.
When questioned, Kennedy read
lily admitted that he had hired
OConnor as an assistant.
Reminded that O'Connor never
shows up in his office to earn the
money he is paid by the taxpayers,
Kennedy didn't bat an eyelash.
Mr.. OConnor has a law office
in New York and in Washington.
Kennedy was reminded. What
does he do to earn salary in your
office on Capitol Hip"

The Public and Taxes
Cincinnati Enquirer

A pronounced shift in public opinion the sub
ject of national sales tax is noted in the latest
poll of the American Institute of Public Opinion. IN
deed as of today is indicated that sales tax is
preferred to an increased income tax by ratio Of
with minority of AZ per cent favoring Federal sales
tax last May.
To some extent, the poll findings reflect an in
creaSing public belief that the sales tax would be an
ideal way of sharing the burden uniformly. To
an even greater extent doubt the opinion report
reflects preference of the sales tax the available
alternative methods of raising revenue Previously 1t
was possible for politicians to argue that sales tax
was not necessary because all needed money could be
raised by soaking the rich" Today the emptiness
of such a contention is too apparent to persuade
anyone.
The average taxpayer knows from his own ex-
perence that the bite of the income tax cannot be
greatly increased without serious dslocaton of ind-
vidual finances-and further Juggling of tax system
already almost hopeessy complicated by changes and
additions Therefore, he is more prone to regard
favorably national sales tax despite various dis
advantages.
Dr.. George Gallups poll indicates that The Am
erican public still is willing to pay greater share OF
present war costs. AS matter of fact the largest
group of the public replying affirmatively this
question indicated willingness to pay fourth more
in taxes.
The men entrusted with raising the nations
revenue might ponder upon such indices of public
opinion. The average American knows that war costs
money And he is becoming increasingly aware tat
long last tempted to add that money does not
grow on trees.

GEORGIA GRAVY

The Merry Go : Round recently
told how Eugene Carey, ousted
counsel of the House Federal Com
munications Commission investi-
eating committee, lived in a fancy
suite in the Mayflower Hotel here
for eight months at the taxpayers
expense, with the knowledge and
approval Of the committees former
chairman, anti-New Deal Repre-
sentative Gene Cox of Georgia.
Here's a second i1stallment to
the story:
Just before Cox resigned the
Craftsmanship under pressure, he
stole another march on the tax
payers by boosting the salary of his
niece, Mildred Cox, committee
stenographer and record clerk, from
81, 400 to $1,000 year.
Miss Cox, one of six relatives
whom the gravy-gorged Georgia
Congressman has planted on the
Federal payroll, is continuing in
her job at the increased salary
under the new chairman, Represen-
tative Clarence F. Lea Of Califor-
mia. Thus Cox, though ousted, has
his own personal observer right on
the inside to see what is happening
Congress Cox has been
famed, ever since he came to Con-
gress, for the army of his kin folk
who ride the gravytrain 1t is
singular event when a Cox relative
is taken off the payroll. But this
phenomenon has now happened.

WLB Threatens Full Penalties
As 25, 900 War Workers Strike
Mechanics Union
Official Indicates
Refusal to Return

| More than $4,000 workers In
80 Michigan and Ohio war plants
were on strike today, tying up
production of equipment needed
for invasion forces and bringing
a threat from the War Labor
Board that full sanctions and
penalties" of the Antistrike Act
would be invoked against them
unless the Walkout is terminated
without delay.
The strike, involving members of
the independent Mechanics Educa-
tional Society Of America, began
yesterday in Cleveland, Detroit and
other points, in protest at the
handling of jurisdictional dispute
by the National Labor Relations
Board.
Acting Secretary of the Navy Bard

return to work ''as a condition of
their loyalty" and union officials
were directed by the WLB to come
to Washington for a hearing. by

meeting here because there would
not be sufficient time to get the ex-

action.
