Cornbread, pork and milk gravy

make the gravy without a lump.
} Put the flour, salt and pepper in

Cover and shake vigorously un-
til the flour is thoroughly blend
ed. Pour this mixture into the
drippings in your frying pan and
stir until thickened. -,
! Perhaps you have a favorite
cornbread recipe but we'd like
to have you try this one. It is
made with whole wheat flakes,
the kind you eat for breakfast to

flavor and extra vitamins too!

troops. In many villages, the
peasants t h e mselves form
armed defensive units and for
tify themselves in their viii
lagos. Representatives from
such villages come to the COM
mand of the volunteer forces
and ask for achievements and
arms.
A Land of Death
The situation in the Ljublja-
ma Province, according to the
underground report of June Is,
1912, which is in the hands Of
the Yugoslav government in
London, is one of complete
chaos. Trains that operate
through Dolenjsko to Croatia
have not been running for sew
eral weeks, and the Ljubljana-
Trieste line has been repeatedly
interrupted. The Italian army
is stationed only in the larger
centers: Novo Mesto, Kocevje,
Velike Lasce, Ribnica, zuzem-
berk and a few others. At these
places, the Italian army is bar
ricaded behind barbed-Wire en-
tanglements, bunkers, firing
trenches and so forth. Every
where else the volunteers are
the masters. The Italian army
command has issued an order
that on the highways which are
still controlled by the occu-
piers, there are to be no troop
movements unless the troops
are 400 men strong.
The movements of the civil
an population from place to
place, with the increase in up
risings, have been hampered
more and more. At first, special
points of control were desig-
mated, and arrival was permit
ted at these places only with
special permits. Disregard of
these points of control involved
heavy penalties and the use of
arms, if the person did not halt
at the first warning during the
day, and without warning at
night. In the more important
commercial centers, roads and
railways, the inhabitants of
Italian Slovenia were forced to
cut down forests and brush
wood $50 meters each side of
the road or railway, so that the
view to either side would be en-
tirely clear. When all these
measures were to no avail, the
High Commissioner of the
Ljubljana Province, on July Is,
1912, in agreement with the
army command, issued an order
by which all local passenger
train service was stopped. No
one was to travel on transit
lines, except those persons who
had passports for abroad or
had any permits for other parts
of the Kingdom of Italy. No
movement of any kind with any
kind of transportation vehicle,
or on foot, from place to place
was permitted. There is no
autobus service. No stopping or
moving within one kilometer on

Postal Pay Increase

cents.
"Thus When man works one
hour Overtime he is receiving IS
cents less per hour than for his first
eight hours work.
"If he works on Saturday, Which
Would be Overtime, he actually re-
ceiUes $I.44 less than for the same
number of hours worked on Friday"
MO WONDER Senator Mead of
IN New York, sponsor of the pro-
posed postal pay increase legislation
now the subject of open hearings, has
said in support of it that There is
strong justification for the legisla-
ton"
For as our Texas correspondent
observes:
"For years, tUe in the postal serD-
ice haze been hearing of all the gains
of labor, Wage increases to meet the
higher cost of living, time and one
half for Overtime, double time for
Saturday and Sunday, all compulsory
by laD and orders of the WLB and
NLRB and executive orders.
employers must comply Nth
them or their plants are seized by
the government, Which in turn oper-
ates the plants and pays the specified
wages Which labor asked for.
"Yet this SAME GOVERNMENT
compeis us to work Overtime for Is
cents per hour less than they pay us
for regular time"
There is much more than mere
justification" for legislation meet
ing the pay necessities of federal
postal workers.
These faithful, efficient and indis-
pensable government employees have
a just cause.
The Congress has a clear duty to
support their cause.
The American people have an
equally clear duty to recognize the
rightful claims of tile postal workers,
and to compel Congress to adjust
them.

At OttunUd

Sixteen years as Chief Executive of the
United States would not be mere incumbency;
it would be a reign. 1t would almost surpass
the record of the British monarchy.
Throughout her long history, beginning
with the year 827 half of Britans Sc kings
and queens served less than 16 years
But here is a more pertinent comparison.
If Franklin Roosevelt were elected for a
fourth term, he would have longer tenure of
office than all the prime ministers of Great
Britain, save William Pitt
And he was truly great man.
In fact, "a of the 60 prime ministers of
Great Britain served eight years or less.
In short, if the New Deal is returned to
power this year, we will have sadded ourselves
with ruler, as the New Deal Supreme Court
termed our elected officials, for longer period
than the British themselves would permit

Human Freedom Menaced

When the power of one man becomes so
great through patronage and public money
that he can impose himself on his party, it is a
serious, yes, a dangerous threat to human
freedom.
BY his tactics of subterfuge, the President
kept out of the running all other possible can
didates in the Democratic party.
He had such hold on the Democratic party
through patronage that they did not dare get
rid Of him.
Grover Cleveland knew what he was talking
about
In his second fireside chat of May Z, 1888,
President Roosevelt declared:
II am going to be honest at all times with
the people of the country"

THE post Office committee of the
i u. S. Senate has been conducting
open hearings on proposed legisla
ton which would grant permanent
annual salary increase of $500 to
federal postal workers.
This is matter which should
have the immediate attention of
Congress, and the complete approval
of Congress.
Federal postal workers have been
the most NEGLECTED group in the
whole federal employment structure,
and probably the most neglected eco
nomic group in the whole national
employment structure.
They have not had basic pay
increase in 10 YEARS.
Even the temporary wartime
bonus of $500 annually which was
voted by Congress last year is sched-
uled to expire next year.
DUT that is only part of the strange
ID story of long continued neglect.
A letter recently written to the
Hearst newspapers by postal en-
ploye in Texas tells another part OF
the story.
"While all employees in private
Endustry receive time and one-half
FOR Overtime" writes this correspond
ent, "ws actually receive Is cents
LESS than for regular time.
"This is due to the antiquated
method used in figuring our oUer-

Roosevelt Evaded Question

On no less than so occasions, over the past
seven and one-haif years the President has
evaded or refused to answer directly or frankly
any third or fourth term question for the
public press.
On June 80 1887, when he was questioned
at press conference, he told a reporter to put
on a Ounce cap and stand in the corner.
On Nov. II, 1880 he admitted inserting the
third term hint in the Jefferson memorial
speech, just for the laugh.
On Dec. %, 1913, he called the fourth
term question in a news conference "picayune."
On May g. 1914 he laughed impatiently at
a press conference question on Hannegan's
fourth term prediction. He said that he was
not going to talk about it.
On June ID, 1914, he told flanagan that
the fourth term would be up to the convention.
He said that he planned no move to obtain
the nomination and that the delegates must
decide

Was the President Honest2

Was the President honest with the people
when, at the Democratic victory dinner on
March T. 1887 he declared:
my great ambition on Jan. 20. 1941. IL
to turn over this desk and chair in the White
House to my successor, whoever he may be,
with the assurance that am at the same time
turning over to him president, nation in
tact, a nation at peace, a nation prosperous"
Was he honest with the people when. in his
final campaign speech at Cleveland O., on
Nov. 2. 1910, he declared:
when that term is over. there will be
another president, and many more presidents
in the years to come, and think that in those
years to come that word president will be a
word to cheer the hearts of common men and
women everywhere"
The truth of the matter is that the Pres-
dent and his intimates have played a game of
power politics with the most important office
within the gift of the American people,

Will Be Done by Dewey

That will be done when Gov. Dewey be-
comes president.
We shall have from the ranks of labor, an
active, able secretary of labor.
The functions of the department of labor,
now scattered among a confusion of agencies,
will be restored to it.
Labor laws will be administered in fairness,
not only as between employer and employee but
as between all segments of labor itself.
Such program will advance the honorable
and legitimate aims of organized labor in this
country and will give our workers everywhere
the assurance of real progress in achieving
better way of life.

Quotes Grover Cleveland

Why is it that the longer the New Deal
stays IN, the longer it wants to stay in, and
the harder it is to get it out?
Grover Cleveland, with great wisdom
answered this question He said
when we consider the patronage of this
great office, the allurements of power, the
temptations to retain public place once gained
and more than all, the availability a party
finds in an incumbent when a horde of office
holders. with zeal born of benefits received
and fostered by the hope of favors yet to
come stand ready to aid with trained political
assistance, we recognize in the eligibility of
the president for reelection the most serious
danger to that calm, deliberate and intelligent
action which must characterize a government
by the people,"
Is it not important to the American people
whether president wishes to spend four,
eight, II or Is years in the White House?
Detroit evening times. (Detroit, Mich) 1921-1958, 1944-10-06
Integrity Must Be Restored

But let me press the question further Was
the President honest in 1914 when he said that
the delegates to the Democratic national con-
ventlon would have to decide?
Was not his private train on the sidetracks
In Chicago? Did he not dictate to the dele
gates through flanagan and Kelly and Hague
and Sidney Hillman?
say to you that the time has come when
the American people once again must restore
integrity in the White House. That means the
end of indefinite presidential tenure
The political power of the presidency has
become SO great that constitutional provision
limiting the term of the president is necessary
to develop the leadership essential in a
republic.
Long tenure imposes narrow partisan gov
eminent on the people and destroys new
leadership which is the handspring of progress.

Stronq Indictment Written

1t would be difficult for any one to make
a stronger indictment of New Deal methods in
handling labor relations than that made by the
congressional committee which investigated the
National Labor Relations Board.
It's report closed with these words:
"When an administrative agency of this
government SO far forgets its proper functions
as to defy the will of Congress- harbOr and
protect avOwed enemies of constitutional gov
eminent, invent and devise extra-legal land
even unlawfuD methods Of tOrmenting and
running employers, fOment and perpetuate in
dustrial strife and Cypress and penalize certain
labor groups to favor Others-then the time
has come when the people of this country must
raise their voices in insistent protest lest in
dustrial peace be jeopardized, and the
fundamental concepts upon which their govern
ment is based be ultimately and utterly de-
StrOyed."

Radical Tendencies Found

Board members were guilty of radical tend
encies and entirely lacked judicial temperament.
The investigating committee also found that
the board had exceeded its authority and had
substituted its own autocratic judgment for
the congressional mandate.
But this is not all. The committee found
that the New Deal board had engaged in at
least six invidious practices, as follows:
1-Blacklisting litigants before it;
C-Promoting boycotts against parties whose
q cases it intends to adjudicate
C-Denial to legitimate organizations of OPP
~ portunities to appear and be defended in
the very litigation that may destroy them;
h-Refusing to employees the privilege of testi-
4 flying in their own cases;
c-Requiring industry to reinstate persons
~ who were never employed and pay back
wages to persons never on the pay rolls; and
to others who never even applied for employ
ment;
c-Seeking to legalize as part of the American
" way of life the infamous, anarchistic sit
down strikes and persevering in this course
even when rebuked by the Supreme Court of
the United States.

Cherished Rights Threatened

If we really want to lose our cherished
rights as citizens of free republic, the quick
est and the surest way to do it is to give the
New Deal four more years to finish the job it
has so well started.
But if we really want to recover the rights
we have already lost; if we want to retain all
of the rights of citizens in a free republic,
the surest and the quickest way to do it is to
elect Gov. Thomas E. Dewey president of the
United States and give him Republican Con-
gress on Nov. z.
Common sense demands that the whole field
of labor relations must be resurveyed in the
interest of orderly business, justice and
humanity

At Rock Island

Bureaucracy at its worst is revealed in the
administration of the National Labor Relations
Act.
Discord and incompetence are the rule.
In July, 1889, congressional committee
was appointed to investigate the administration
of the National Labor Relations Act by the
National Labor Relations Board The final re-
port Of that committee was submitted in jan
uary, 1941.
That report contains findings which are
deeply shocking to every American who
reads it,
The congressional committee found that
the New Deal board was unfair and biased
in its conduct, its decisions and it's interpreted
tions of the law.
1t was grossly partisan in its attitude
toward certain labor unions and most deplor-
ably biased in its relations to employers and
EMPLOYEES.
