From THE NATION

Representative MdTCdIlLOIliO VI
New York, attacking supporters Of
anti-poll-tax bills other than his
own, has characterized one such OPP
ponent as "poll-taxer Dubinsky."
The reference is not taken seriously
by Mr.. Dubinsky, president Of the
International Ladies Garment
Workers Union, but it must be sac
rilege to the ars Of Representative
Rankin of Mississippi, who COM
bines a fanatic devotion to the poll
tax with a lively taste for anti
Semitism.
This statement appeared not in
PM but in the irreproachably con-
sentative Printers Ink, a magazine
devoted to advertising and selling:
Zone huge defense plant has about
four hundred Negro women in one
separate division, mostly house
wives. In effectiveness they out

On the dismissal of DR.. Francis
E. Mcmahon from the faculty of
Notre Dame University, the Cath
Ollie Herald Citizen of Milwaukee
has this to say: Multiple harm to
the church and to Catholic educa-
ton is bound to result from such a
happening. The smoldering forces
of prejudice and anti Catholic feel
ing existing in secular academic
circles have been furnished ammu-
milton for the favorite charge that
Catholic education is purely autho-
ritarian and basically in the, fascist
pattern"

Representative Edith Nourse Ro-
gers of Massachusetts,, interviewed
by the Boston Herald, said subsi-
dies to keep food prices down were
Unnecessary: Il am sure that public
opinion, public protest, and the re-
fusal of the people to buy at ex-
orbitant prices would keep prices
at a reasonable level -. l think,
though, the average person would
rather pay a few cents more for
eggs than to go without them"
DR.. Max Bauer, who was mayor
of a large German city during the
Weimar Republic and is now work
ing for the Federated Churches of
Christ, addressed at Yale AMG Of
ficers studying the background of
Germany. He had been asked to
speak as an expert on municipal
government in Germany, but in
stead spent most of his time urging
reestablishment of the German
Reich as it was in January 1888,
minimizing the Importance of the
Jewish problem, and offering the
AMG officers advice on how to act
toward civilians who might wish to
establish a Soviet in Germany. The
officers complained to the director
of the school. He admitted that DR..
Bauer, who had been okayed by the
Owl and other agencies, was guilty
of bad judgment.
