Collective Bargaining

Everything indicates rise in popularity for the prn- ciple of collective bargaining. The only thing that slows down this system the fact that the labor unions are manned the top by boss politicians they have been able to deliver the vote in at least the last two Presidential elections Thus find ourselves fighting today the ridiculous demands of the labor bosses raise and put manufactured products down to prewar levels That is the mathematics of ncurabe New Dealers like Secretary of Commerce Wallace.
 But the returning from the Army, Navy and the Air Force swinging the weight of public opinion In do- ing they know that labor bosses have upset the American industrial system-and they for America first The public tired of strikes and ways being found that n dcate very clearly that these disputes between employer and employee and shall be resolved through the SYS ITEM of collective bargaining
 When management and workers unable to agree on then the wheels of the Nations business must be kept rolling That is the kind of system that strengthens the management and conference. The conferees have sought restore old American systems which recognized the rights of both parties to settle their disputes first out of court second in cour third outside the political arena There is plenty of machinery and plenty of law for that kind of a system

 Anyway when the quorum call came for the ators to get back to the floor of the Capitol at high noon, Brother Sachs still had five years to go He had got from his version of Genesis, "In the begin ming there was a political concept and moral cern," up to June 1940, which marked the fall of Paris to the Germans and the appointment of other committee by President Roosevelt. Chairman Mcahon tried several times to stop the lecture, but Alexander Jeremiah Sachs paid no attention and went blithely on quoting from Exodus St. John, Clemen- ceau and the Irish poet, Yeats and having a fine time. It his day and he enjoyed it thoroughly whether anyone else did not. Maj.-Gea. Leslie R. Groves sat around for hour, widdling his thumbs and waiting for his chance to testify, but he got word in and told to back the next day.
 Chairman McMahon, at the end getting in the next-to he-laSt words, said MT Sachs might come back at later time, to finish his statement, but he wasn't very specific to when. You'll just have

Atomic Messenger Boy By Peter Edson

to guess at what happened between 194O and 1945 What Brother Sachs had to do with the atomic bomb never did out quite clearly although the modest inference that it was practically everything.
 At one point Sachs said his role was to be a resonator to the Presidents ideas At another point to be too busy to be historian you've got to be it. At still third point Sachs said he did not hesitate to be a glorfied messenger boy. Maybe that's what resonator and historian mean-messenger boy,
 Anyway, Sachs finally admitted coyly, without anyone asking him, that he was the man who car red the first memo on atomic energy from Albert Einstein to President Roosevelt. This was his fame and it rates him right alongside Paul Revere the fellow whose name nobody remember but who carried the message to Garcia and the three other fellows who brought the good news from Ghent to Aix. Boy, page Albert Hubbard and two poets
 Sachs is quite a guy no fooling Big body, big bald head crowned by fringe of gray hair that stuck straight up like Caesars wreath His eyes buged be- hind thick-lensed, heavy horn-rmmed glasses. He spoke rapidly his voice high and at times cracking He was born in Russia 52 years ago. came to Amer ica in 1904 graduated from Columbia and Harvard and became vicepresident of Lehman Brothers bank CTS. Probably in charge ot the philosophical window And don't again say big investment houses dont souls The soul of MT Sachs is as big as history For time he was economic adviser to the late Gen. Iron Pants" Johnson, back in NRA days. This could explain lot of things but probably doesn't.
 MT Sachs did other things besides carry memo. randa to Roosevelt. He wrote messages to Roosevelt the state of the world. Then he took them to him and read them aloud. This was to impress the Pres ident with their contents that the material came to him 'by and not by way of the mascara of the eye"
 Under our social system, MT. Sachs said to the senators, You gentlemen are punch drunk from printers ink The senators all laughed at that Printers ink isn't the only thing you can get punch drunk

 An aide to Eisenhower answered and listened to Cohen's story, excused himself for few minutes came back to the telephone and said Sergeant if you will call the office of Gen Clay perhaps something can be arranged for you
 "You had better wait about ten minutes before calling Gen. Clay" he added ito give Gen Eisenhow- CT chance to talk with him first"
 Ten minutes later Cohen called Gen Clay, where an aide said, "Oh yes, Sergeant, we've been expect ing your call. Now you come in at eight o'clock tomorrow morning? We'll see about transportation then"
 Cohen took off by air the next day before noon.
 Congressional leaders who met with President Truman last week to discuss serious legislative prob lems got chuckle over Truman's story about his surprise flight to see his mother her 93d birthday
 Newspapers have already told how Truman called the Kansas City Star to announce his arrival in Grandview, Mo But in addition, here is waht Truman told his Congressional leaders really happened
 It was Sunday afternoon and the usually bustling city of the Star was in a lull. Only skeleton editorial force was the job, and young reporter answered the phone
 "This is the President" said Truman.
 'Who?" said the reporter.
 "This is President Truman"
 "The hell it is" exclaimed the newsman, con- vnced that somebody was pulling practical joke Mister, who you trying to kid?"
 Finally the call was transferred to another writer on the paper, who knew Truman personally and could identify his voice Highly amused the President told him the news of his visit
 1t was like pulling teeth for the hard-working Mead Committee to get the Army to admit that it was hoarding 6000O0O0 pairs of dark glasses, 116, pairs of cotton shorts 42000 900 pairs of mems woolen drawers and that it still had saddles and brides stored up in Hawaii from the Spanish Amer lean War
 Every possible dodge used by the brass hats avoid revealing their vast accumulated store of surplus goods which Senators suspect is being held for another early war.

PHROPHETIC WALT WHITMAN
(The Bridgeport Post)


 Some sixty years ago an aged poet, poor and paralyzed, died in his New Jersey home, now a landmark. The ordinary man whom his poems made far above the ordinary, did not read him. The top-lofty thinkers and lit erary craftsmen of his day despised his "heXameters, bubbling through sewage" as one of them described the blank verse of Walt Whitman.
 But times have changed. And with the change has come return to the verses of the man now hailed as one of the true prophetic voices of America, though far ahead of his time when he reported his visions. His life and letters have been pub liShed, and new editions of his poems appear from time to time. The poet who was unable to sell single copy of his first volume, has arrived.
 Perhaps nowhere has Whitman been so recognized as in the halls of Congress, though unconsciously Consider this, from Years of the Modern:
 T see not America only, not only Liberty's nation, but other nations preparing.
 I see tremendous exits and en- frances, new combinations, the solidarity of the races.
 I see that force advancing with irresistible power on the worlds stage.
 see Freedom, completely armed and victorious and very naughty with Law on one side and Peace on the other,
 A stupendous trio all issuing forth against the idea Of caste"
 Freedom, with Law on one side and Peace on the other-is this not the hope of the nation today, and of the world?
 How far this "stupendous trio" will issue forth against the idea of caste (theh old forces, the old wars) may be another question, but it was not a question to Whitman. It was an inevitable

 There's no denying that these two shine brightly above all the rest because most of the rest still suffer from duration-dilution.
 Considerable happened to the curricula and pos sbly the hours of the service school students, but nothing happened to their manpower. Civilian col leges have had to make out with freshmen 17-year- old kids, Navy and Marine tranees
 The service schools, likewise, may have the bulge for couple of seasons more because the normal routine broken every other campus. There's been a four-year break. It may take some time to get the machinery unrusted, oiled and meshing smoothly again.

 'The nation then at and every pound of coal that could be mined needed The action of the mine workers in voluntarily restoring the mines to operation by returning work constituted patriotic service that the nation probably will never fully appreciate
 No doubt for the nations lack of appreciation is that most of it's citizens still odfashoned to consider the from coal famine and the miners pari otic service just another of John L's strikes.

 The sugar outlook is given, with measured optimism, by Trends, bull letin of Press Association, Inc, as follows: During the first ten months of 1945, sugar landed in the United States all off-shore areas amount ed to 4,466,1 ,129 short tons, raw yalue-a drop of almost 100000 tons from the corresponding period of 1914. Marketings of mainland cane and beet sugar also fell below the totals for last year-for combined deficit in the neighborhood of 400,- GOO tons. However, days of greater sugar abundance are at hand.
 The civilian ration this year has been five million tons. American sugar consumption in 194O was just under 6.9 million tons. The new crop, from domestic, Caribbean, and Hawaiian production, will be 8.4 mil lion tons Much of the extra supply must go to war-devastated coun- tries, but the share of American civilians should begin to increase next spring, beginning after April l..

Coming of Christmas

The beginning of the ecclesiastical year brought to the attention of congregations Catholic churches yester day The day marked the first Sunday in Advent prep aration for the great feast of Christmas.
 The Christmas also heralded throughout the land with lights and decorations which will be the order ot the day until the first of the year Sunday brought the attention of the faithful that the material aspects of the should not have supersedence the religious observance and real meaning of Christmas.
 The parable of the fig tree and general judgment peated in the gospel for Sunday and substance the the gospel of the week before reminder that the coming Christ than just time of merrment gift giving and celebration.
 The season should be heralded with joy and that is why cities like have been preparing with decorations of splendor the downtown sections resplendent night with the colorful illumination

sands of veterans of the Pacific War will be arriving at West Coast ports. Trains out of that area will be jammed to capacity.
 The plane space, now reserved for Army and Navy use, will make it possible for many of these veterans to be home in time for Christmas. AS a result fewer of these men, to whom the nation owes so much, and fewer of their families will be disap- pointed in their hopes of happy re- union during the holidays. That is the best of reasons for welcoming the move

 AS a result of the governments re- cent order civilian air travel from west to east will be as tightly re- stricted as it was during the war. Beginning December no less than 70 per cent of all space on air liners flying inland from the West Coast will be reserved for Army and Navy personnel returning from the Pacific theater.
 It is too bad that civilian air travel has to be curtailed so soon after the lifting of the priority system less than two months ago. But this par ticular curtailment is in an excep- tionally good cause.
