 BROADCAST DEBATES!
 Five, public ignorance of what real ly goes on in Congress. The Pepper Coffee resolution to put Congress on the air will remedy this. Sen. Pepper is on record in hearings before the Joint Committee on Reorganization of Congress as favoring government facilities for such broadcasts, ito broadcast the whole of the business, the dull with the brilliant, if any," No one citizen would listen to every thing, but everyone would listen to some of the debates. After the Sen ate and House sessions are aired, broadcasts of committee sessions can follow.
 Outlawing of the poll tax is the fundamental reform. If it is again defeated, perhaps the best shortcut is to put Congress on the air, where the citizen-taxpayers can for the first time hear directly and with out editing what they're getting and not getting-for their money.
 Certain it is that something must be done to mOdernize Congress SO that it can be responsive to the needs of today and tomorrow. As a humane measure, for members themselves, it is a must. You may want to talk the matter over with your representatives when they come home for Christmas.

 SENATE TO ACT
 First, of course, is the poll tax. The bill to outlaw the poll tax as a re- quirement for voting in federal cleo tions has passed the House, as it has passed before. It is due to come up on the Senate floor in the next few weeks FortytWo senators are report ed ready to vote for c1oture, to limit debate and prevent filibuster by Bilbo and a score of other southern Senators.
 A two-third majority of those voting is necessary to adopt a clO- ture rule. Every southern Senator able to leave his bed can be count ed on to be present and voting. If the Republican party really means business, it can insure the neces- sary majority, joining with north ern Democrats from states where the Negro vote is an important pO- litical factor.
 Abolition of the poll tax would let a great fresh wind blow through the South. Many new faces would appear in both Houses and many old faces would take on a younger and more progressive expression.
 Second, is the seniority system. That is almost impossible to change. Bypass it for the time being. Ending the poll tax will make the seniority system much less harmful.
 All, WILDERNESS
 Third, the wilderness of standing and special committees in which mem bers lose themselves, sometimes not being seen on the floor for days or weeks. The Joint Committee on Re organization of Congress is wrestling with this one and should shortly come up with recommendations cutting down the number in both Houses and perhaps defining jurisdiction to prevent overlapping and conflict. However, again human jealousy of prerogative and position will block real streamlining unless public opin- ion runs a temperature and demands it.
 Fourth, the gap between the execu- tive and legislative branch can be

 IMPOSE GAG RULE
 They are so anxious to ram through the Smith-May bill that they imposed gag rule, banning all amendments and limiting de- bate to two hours. The Hobbs bill is to be considered under an open rule, permitting amendments, but only two hours debate.
 The Smith-May bill would forbid unions to solicit funds, pass assess, ments, accept contributions or spend any money in connection with any political convention, primary or cleo tion. In addition, it would illegalize strikes and make unions subject to damage suits if strike or other concerted failure or refusal to work occurs under a contract containing a no-Strike clause
 THOROUGHLY BAD
 According to a minority report of nine members of the House Military Affairs Committee (which passed on the bill before the Rules Committee did) it "nulli6es the right of collective bargaining, makes strikes illegal and subjects union officers to damages or trumped-up charges"
 Furthermore, the m inority charges, it permits 'sthe most fla grant violation of contract by an employer !. without penalty and without giving labor recourse to protect its interests.
 20 YEARS IMPRISONMENT
 The Hobbs bill provides up to 20 years imprisonment and $10,O0O fine for a variety of offenses alleged1y in- terfering with interstate commerce, including ''conspiracies" or attempts to threaten violence. It is camou- faged as an amendment to the anti Racketeering Act of 1884, but in reality would make unions liable to persecution under the antitrust laws, something labor has been fighting against for many years.
 A special provision of the Hobbs bill would forbid unions to collect

Choice Depends On Individual Factors

The Connecticut Unemploy- ment Compensation Law gives all veterans who were em- plOyed in private, nOn-agri- cultural employment, prior to their entrance i'm the armed forces, the right to file under either the State Unemploy- ment Compensation Law or the sO-called ''C. I. Pill of Rights"
 A study by the State Labor De- partment of the two methods in which veterans may receive bene- fits reveals that there are certain advantages and definite disadvan- tages under each. The present set- up of the State Unemployment Compensation Law gives bona fide cliamant, roughly, One-haf of his prior earnings, up to a benefit rate of $22 a week, plus $2 for each dependent, up to three. This means he may receive as much as &28 a week, for a maximum of Ia weeks. In comparison, the best the C.I. Bill offers is flat $2O a week, but up to maximum of g weeks.
 If a veteran filed and has been re- ceiving benefits under the State Un- employment Compensation Act, and finally exhausts those benefits, he may continue to draw his full 52 weeks under the G.I. Bill as well. On the other hand, if he first exhausts his G.I. Benefits, at the end of the 52 weeks he may lose part, or all, of any further State unemployment compen- sation.
 'sWAITINC WEEK"
 Under the state unemployment com pensation system the first week you file is termed waiting week" for which you will receive no compensa- tion,, and in addition the first week in each April Furthermore, if you are filing under the State Unemployment Compensation Law and become i'll, or unable to work, you are ineligible under EITHER program to receive benefits, until such time as you are able to work. But if you are filing under the G.I. Bill and become physically disabled after filing, pay ments will continue.
 In summary, it is important that the veteran considers carefully the two choices, if they are open to him, for financial assistance during unemployment. The s le o n should hinge on each individual case and the circumstances sur rounding it.

Truman Proposal Opposed InConn.

 GREEN OPPOSED
 William Green, president of the American Federation of Labor, made this statement on the Presidents pro posal. He said:
 ''In my judgment the recOm- mendation of the President will be unacceptable to labor. The princi- ples and policies of the Railway Labor Act are in no way suited to private industry as a whole. The plan proposed for fact finding will operate disadvantageously to both employers and workers in many cases. The AFL cannot approve this legislation"
 LABOR EATERS ACT
 President Truman's plan was not the only development en the Con- gressional labor front this week.
 In a surprise move, poll tax Democrats and reactiOnary Repub- Iicans combined in the House Rules Committee to grease the way for two vicious anti-labOr measures which they hope to get to the floor of Congress before the Christmas recess.
 The two measures are the Smith May bill CHR 3937) which repeals the Smith -ConnalIy Act, but strips unions of their political and collec- tive bargaining rights; and the Hobbs bill CHR 32) which would virtually outlaw strikes in most in- dustries.
 The action, taken by a vote of six to two, was timed to coincide with the climax of organized la. bOr's campaign for immediate wage increases.

We must remember in con-
sidering this problem that it is
only human to complain and
only human to find fault.
Nobody contends that our
present government is perfect
or that errors are not made. 1t
is only human to err. But there
would be just as many COM
plants, just as much fault-find-
ing and just as many errors
made under the City Manager
form of government.
Changing forms would not
change human nature. That is
democracy. That is the Consti-
tutional privilege of the Ameri-
can people, and let us hope we
always have that privilege.
This article is merely a con-
tinued introduction to a series
in which the argument for re-
tention of the Commission type
of government will be present
ed in detail and explained in de-
tail.
The first general argument
for a "No" vote on the special
question to be submitted at the
special election on March S can
be summarized as follows:
If able, competent, and quail
fled citizens will have civic re-
sponsibility enough to run for
the offices of Mayor and City
Commissioner, and the citizens
of the city would vote and elect
them, which they undoubtedly
would, the city will be just as
we'll government under the pre-
sent commission form of gov
eminent as under the City Man
ager form or any other form.
There being little doubt but
what this general premise is
true-why change forms of gov
eminent? Why not instead place
the emphasis on continuing to
urge competent and qualified
men to run for office and serve
their city. If this is done, there
is no need to change forms Of
government. If it is not done,
and such type men do not run.
change of form will do no good.
Then why change? Instead,
urge competent citizens to take
enough interest in their city to
run for the offices. Then you
will have excellent government,
regardless Of form.

Mclean Gardens Wins
New Hearing on zoning

The Zoning Commission decided
late yesterday to grant new coming
hearing to Mclean Gardens, which
is fighting to continue operation of
a restaurant and other shops at the
development.
A request for rezoning has twice
been turned down by the Zoning
Commission. The District has gone
to Municipal Court to seek COM
pliance with its coming regulations
at Mclean Gardens, but the case
has been continued several times.
The District will agree to further
continuance until the coming body
has a chance to rehear the case in
the fall.
Philip M. Klutznick, president of
Defense Homes Corp, which built
Mclean Gardens, recently conferred
with the Commissioners asking
them to find some way within the
law to continue the operation of
the facilities.
The new hearing will involve the
entire Mclean development, accord
ing to Robert o. Clouser, executive
officer of the zoning Commission.
