Like the sorey-troubed Redskins of earlier day who looked Washington for protection and guidance seems that most of pan everyday manonthestreet type ot citizens look the President and Congress for relief the industrial troubles that beset the nation.
 We apparently expect relief from one else but our government which represents all Americans Judging by the announcement that General Motors and JAW o cas will negotiations seeking to settle the motor strike both parties to that quarrel to feel they may not like what the result of presidential and congressional interest in industry may be.
 President Trumans request for authority to set up facnding commission finds little support in the ranks ot either Labor Industry Philip Murray of the ClO and William Green of the AFL have both denounced the plan roundy presumably John L. Lewis will dot the s they may have overlooked.
 Now comes President Ira Mosher of the National Asso- citation of Manufacturers to repeat the stock and somewhat hacneyed accusations against Labor of failure to cooperate and of readiness to only NO to everything Manage suggested at the recent Labor Management Confer Charges and countercharge spirited and num- that most of there little hope of anything less than strong action settling the current disputes starting the country along the to economic prosperity and plentiful employment where ies as both camps agree, the only hope for real prosperity.
 Far from agreeing with Mr. Moshers reservation that "he board should NOT pry into the confidential affairs of either union company, of us feel that tact-hnd ing board should famarize itself with the confidential at fairs of BOTH rather than neither Only in the light ot full and complete knowledge of the hidden profits which and the other the knowledge of what is actually cov cred by the shroud of special privilege in which Mr. Mosh charges Labor with wrapping itsef lasting solu- tion of our industrial disputes be accomplished.

from the federal government
 "The thing to do is to go out there and put them on the spot" Danaher exhorted his Republican listeners. "Ask them, Are you a thinking man or you a follower?' Make them squirm Ask them Are you bought you citizen?'"
 DanaherS second tip to the Congressmen was that they should stop sounding off about democracy
 we all believe in democracy and the democratic is that too many people tie up the word democracy with the Democratic Party. You'd be amazed to learn how many people think the Democrats stand for democracy and the Republicans for something tirely different.
 Article four of the Constitution says have republican form of government, and the more we can stress the word republican in that connection the better off We are. We are simply playing into the hands of the Democrats when constantly stress the word democracy Hereafter let's use our own word-republcan, with a small r.. It's just as good word, and for our purposes much better" :"
 If President Truman calls Chester Davis of St. Louis back into the government as is now rumored it will be the most reSounding rebuff to FDR that Truman has administered thus far. For Chester Davis was about the only man Roosevelt ever got sore at publicly when they broke relations
 Davis then war food administrator, had been rowing with Economic Stablizer Vinson the price of farm products and was threatening to re- sign. Finally Justice Byrnes, Judge Vinson, and several other Roosevelt advisors had long session with Davis in his hotel They thought they had him sold teamwork and cooperation.
 But at the end of the conference, Davis, without telling anyone, went out of the hotel, got in his car, drove around to the White House and handed in curt letter of resignation Roosevelt then issued one of the most cauStic letters of his career.
 Talk at the White House is that Davis, head of the Federal Reserve Bank of St. Louis, will be brought in to replace John Snyder reconverson ad- ministrator also of St. Louis Wisecracks outside the White House that Davis has one good qualfica- on for the job. Like both Truman and Snyder, he is from Missouri.
