On TheScene
 In Washington
By Travis K. Hedrick

It is pretty commonly known that the pennies you pay for your daily newspaper are simply a ges- tuTe that pays the newsboy and possibly the promotion expenses of the circulation department. The real sugar in newspaper publishing comes from the advertisers.
 With Lesson in newspaper economics finished, it is time to turn to the reasons why most pa- pers and particularly the more pow erful chains such as Scripps How ard, Hearst and the Mccormick Patterson axis are blowing their horns for the Hatch labor straitjacket biII.-(Chicago Tribune-Nc,O York Daily Ne,Us.
 One of the most potent forces nov ing in the shadows back of the meas ure to force compulsory arbitration and foul up the Wagner act is the so- called Automotive Council for War Production.
 This organization domiciled in Detroit, is simply the wartime face of the Automobile Manufacturers Assn. It is headed by dangerously zealOus figure, George Romney. During the war he is managing diI rector of the Automotive Council for War Production. In peacetime George is general manager of the Automobile Manufacturers Assn.
 Romney operates in the name of the council, but his tactics are mostly those of General Motors and the Chrysler Corp.
 This group is hell-bent to bust unions and is periodically waving the flag for the BalI-Burton-Hatch measure. And when Romney talks. he makes sounds that the counting rooms and advertising departments of many newspaper understand. There's lot of important lineage. many a major advertising account back of him-PIymouth, Chrysler, Chevrolet, Pontiac, DeSoio, to men, tiOn just few. You haven't seen much of these names of recent years, but the advertising depart ments remember the full page space they take at handsome rates. That kind of cash fills many till.
 So the publishers exercise their freedom of the press and toot loudly for what the automobile advertisers desire-the smashing of the unions.
 Although official and conservative U. s. figures demonstrate that strikes in the auto industry are 80@o below what they were in peacetime, Romney lis crying aloud for relief from the irresponsible unions in the industry.
 Romney told the Senate war investi- gating committee that unions are mal- ing "a well-organized effort to pre- vent management from exercising the function it must use in order to man. age the plants" He sad there was organized anarchy" in Detroit.
 Last May the Automotive Council reacted immediately to the NLRB order permitting foremen to join labor unions and bargain with their employers. The council spent thou sands and thousands of dollars in

Whom the Secretary Serves
(New York Times)

Miss Perkins it is said is not anxious to continue in office and President Roosevelt is reported willing to name Secretary of Labor to replace her if the American Federation of Labor and the Congress of Industrial Organizations agree upon candidate. Behind such attitude lies the implication that 1t IS the function of the Secretary of Labor not to represent the interests the whole country but only those of particular group.
 It is worth recalling here that the total member ship of the AF and the CIO together in spite of the policies followed by the Administration in recent years to ncerase it. still represents only one-quarter of the total labor force of the country But even if this were not so there would be justification for choosing Secretary of Labor whenever the lead CTS of the AFL and the CIO could agree upon than there would be of choosing Secretary of Commerce whenever the leaders of the National Association of Manufacturers and the United States Chamber of Commerce could agree upon.
 It is true that in the recent national election the Republican platform demanded that the Secretary of Labor should be representative of labor and that Governor Dewey several times in the course of the campaign repeated this demand. But this merely i- illustrates how widespread this confusion i'll political philosophy has become. It is the function of Gov ernment to act as an arbiter and umpire between conflicting interests Its decision should be made primarily in the interests not of any particular par ticipant in the dispute but of the nation whole. The moment Government official or agency con- ceves his duty to represent the interests of one of the parties in dispute, injustice and disruption are bound to result.
 All this would be clear enough if we were siderng merely say, the function of the courts. No impartial responsible judge thinks of himself as the representative attorney of one of the par ticipants in dispute brought before him. Each par ticipant has his attorneys and defenders; the sole function of the judge is to decide the dispute the merits of the and in the broad interest of justice and the public welfare.
 What confuses many people is that Cabinet of fcials nave different spheres of jurisdictions labor commerce. agriculture and so on. But this does not that the Secretary in charge of that field of jurisdiction should consider himself servant of the special interests of union leaders, bankers business men, or farm organizations. He should promote the interests of these groups only to the extent that they are corsonant with the general interest of the whole country Any other attitude philosophy would make our Government officials the mere instruments of conflicting pressure groups Every Government official ought consider himself and ought to be considered by those who appoint him, not the servant of special group but the servant of the whole people.

should be Secretary of Labor
 After the three got back to their hotel, Green and Murray asked Tobin: Why don't you take it. We'll support you?"
 Why don't one of you take it, Phil?" countered the boss team ster.
 There's very good reason why I'll never be Secretary of Labor, shot back Murray Because the AFL would never have me"
 Green pointed out that the same thing applied to him regarding his rival the CIO.
 Nothing more came of the White House conversation, and Miss Perk- ins continued on Now she has said flatly that she will not continue, and there have been some definite indications the President would like to appoint Tobin This time, however, the teamsters chief is not at all enthusiastic. Being older, he sees a lot of headaches ahead. So he has told friends that he will not be Secretary of Labor.

better.
COY DAN TOBIN

Dan Tobin, head of the teamsters union, is in a unique position. Back in 1892 he wanted very much to be Secretary of Labor but couldn't get the appointment. Now he could get it, but doesn't want it.
 In the Roosevelt-Herbert Hoover campaign, Tobin was just as ener- getic in his support of the Presi- dent as he was last November After the election Jim Farley was to help him get the Cabinet post of Labor Secretary That was 12 years ago. Tobin was younger then, and, wanted the job.
 The President elect actually talked to him about it, but later Miss Perkins was appointed, and Jim Farley explained that Mrs. Roosevelt had contended the wo- mems vote was so strong some thing had to be done to recognize the women.
 Tobin took the decision with good grace and kept on working for F. D. R.

Recent events should have brought home to all of us the truth that far the European front is concerned the bridge between defeat and eventual equalization by the German army will be long and bitter.
 The Germans have suffered defeats every front But they still able to launch severe de- fensive blows And at the time they continue to land agents on American soil In other words, the powers in charge of the German machine have not begun to give up
 A few months ago it the general impression that the in Europe might end almost any day The civilian was not alone to blame for this attitude. Various military leaders came out with predictions of a victory in the offing Our Office of War h. formation predicted the downfall of Germany before or not long after the end of 1944.
 The men at the front however, must deal in hard realities. We at home help them by also dealing hard realities and not fancy predictions
 But what if the in Europe should come to an end than expect? We still have long, long fight ahead of in the Pacific one that certainly will not see it's end in 1945 probably not in 1946 either. Why we should be able to afford the luxury

HOROSCOPE "The stdrs incline

WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 10

Benefic aspects rule today which should be memorable for good news from battle fronts. A naval victory is forecast
 HEART AND HOME Women should find this day suspicious for inequalities. A happy wedding day, it seems to presage material suc- i cess and harmonious partnership. There is an evil omen for the aged who insist on taking health risks in cold weather.
 BUSINESS AFFAIRS: Black markets will continue to flourish, despite legal action to suppress them. There is sign read as in- dicating increase in the number of persons willing to profit by illicit trade in wartime. A meat shortage may widen the scope of such trans actions.
 NATIONAL ISSUES: Negro citi- zens of the United States continue to be under promising planetary influences. In the Aquarian period harmony will prevail among people of different races and diverse in- terests.
 INTERNATIONAL AFFAIR S: France is under aspects which seem to presage complete restoration to her former high place among the nations of Europe. The new armies are to win fame and Gen. de Gaulle is to prove wise and Valiant national leader, although there is an omen of enmity from high places. The aspects of Jupiter in his horoscope are most promis- ing

SUGGESTED IN 1s4s

Then in 1943, about year and a half ago, the same Cabinet post once again was dangled before his eyes. Tobin, AF'L President Green, and CIO President Phil Murray were calling on Roosevelt about the muddled labor situation, when he pulled out of his desk a letter of resignation from Miss Perkins which she had submitted in 1941 just before Roosevelt was inaugu- rated for third term.
 Find me someone to take her place" the President said, "and I'll appoint him."
 Then he suggested that one of the three labor leaders present

headuuarters in Rome, that if the Nazis counter-attacked they would center on this Negro division.
 In Belgium, however, someone not only was off guard, but apparently was over confident. The division against which the Nazis aimed their drive was a completely green and raw division never before under fire, and it was only natural the Nazis picked this Spot. Possibly Nazi intelligence was so alert 1t spotted this divisions arrival in Europe, for it was in France but few weeks when it went up into the line
 Meanwhile, the. Ninety-second Division in Italy had been under fire since last August. The first day it went into the line, incl dentally, the Negro troops got a two-hour pasting from German ar tillery and stood up very well. There was no Nazi counter-attack at that time, however

LONG WEAK G2

For a long time, it has been ad- mitted in high-up Army circles, that G2 or Military Intelligence has been one of the weakest branches of the Army. Several bonehead plays have been chalked up to it:
 1.-The prediction in 1940 that France would hold (she folded in a few woeks); 2-the prediction in the summer of 1940 that England would be taken (she hasn't been taken yet) 3-the prediction in June l94l that Moscow would fall in a few weeks.
 Another boner credited to G2 is not knowing that three divisions were lying in wait for Allied forces when we landed at Salerno. There was another bad intelligence boner at Kiska when we bombed the Is- land for days after the Japs had left, but Naval Intelligence will have to bear the chief blame for that.
 Reason for intelligence mistakes in both the Army and Navy is at tributed to their closed-shop policy, whereby preponderant number of bluebloods, bankers and socially elite were permitted to pass the pearly gates to join up in their coveted jobs.
 As a result of some of these mis- takes, the Army last spring under took shake-up of Military Intelli- gence, under the leadership ot forth right Assistant Secretary John ,McCloy. Since then it was hoped that G2 operations would be
