Governor Of Kansas
Hits u. 5. Authorities
After Liquor Raids
BY the Associated Press.

BY the Associated Press.
TOPEKA, Kans., Nov. 10.-Gov.
Andrew Schoeppel OF Kansas today
questioned the good faith of Fed
eral authorities in making sweep
ing liquor raids in seven of the dry
States cities, and the assistant
United States district attorney re-
torted that "tax records of all liquor
brought into the State have been
available to local officers for several
years"
Following yesterdays raids, which
neted nearly 1000 cases of liouor
valued at almost 100000, the Kan
sas Governor said in a statement
today that State officials had tried
IN vain to obtain aid from Federal
authorities in keeping liquor out OF
Kansas. Instead, Gov. SchoeppeI
said, Federal authorities permitted
the issuing of Liquor stamps tc
individuals and collected funds TO,
this under the guise of tax"
Lester Luther, assistant distric,
attorney for Kansas, replied that il
would take "at least 1000 Fedora
men to prevent liquor from comine
into the State" He added that al
Federal tax records on all LIQUORS
brought into Kansas had been made
| available to State authorities for
several years.
Shortly after the raids, in which
the liquor was seized but no ar.
rests made of those on whose
premises it was found, District At.
torney Randolph Carpenter said il
was not our purpose to police the
State and take over the duties O.
local law enforcement officers" HI
said it was noteworthy, however
that violation of the liquor law.
in this State leads to violation o1
numerous other laws"
The State should either enforce
It's laws or repeal them, Mr.. Car
penter declared.
Gov. Schoeppel charged that the
sale of Federal liquor stamps to per-
sons in Kansas encouraged viola.
ton of the prohibitory law.
For several years." the Governor
added, state and dry authoritie
have besieged Federal authorities te
prevent hard liquor from coming
into Kansas. What was their an.
swer? Nothing"

Senate Views Differ
On DooIitfIe-ForresfaI
Dispute Over Merger
BY the Associated Press.

@s tAAC <aSnONlotca fEoos
Members of the Senate Naval and
Military Affairs Committees yester-
day added to the Army-Navy con-
troversy over the proposed merger
of the armed forces.
Senator Mcclellan, Democrat of
Arkansas, of the Naval Affairs
group commented to a reporter on
Secretary of the Navy Forrestals
letter criticizing the testimony of
1t. Gen. James H. Doolittle before
the Military Committee Friday:
Il think Secretary Forrestal is to
be commended for placing it (the
controversy on high plane"
Praises DooIittle Statement.
But Senator Hill, Democrat of
Alabama, a member of the Military
Affairs, had this to say:
Gen. Doolittle's statement as a
whole was magnificent one. If
Mr.. Forrestal's letter will stimulate
people to read Gen. Doolittle's full
statement it will serve a good pur-
pose"
Senator Mcclellan said differ
ences always have existed in mill
tary circles over policies of national
defense, and added:
This issue should not be settled
on basis of personalities-but diff
ferences of opinion should be ironed
out If possible, and, if not, the de-
clslon should be made by respon-
sible authorities"
Says Division Is Emphasized.
Senator Hill, the Democratic whip,
told reporter the Navy Secretary's
letter tends to show that division
between the Army and Navy, about
which we heard so much at the
time of Pearl Harbor. 1t emphasizes
the need for putting the Army and
Navy on the same team under a
single department of the armed
forces"
Secretary Forrestals letter to Sec
retary of War Patterson objected in
particular to statement by Gen.
Doollttle that "our Bog boys are
resting uneasily in their graves as
a result of asserted claims by ad-
mirals that sea power and carrier
based planes brought about the Jap
surrender.
The Forrestal letter said, "If we
allow an honest difference over prin-
clpe to degenerate into an exchange
OF personalities, we shall do irrepar-
able harm to the end which we all
seek in the name of national Sc
curity: the comradeship of all
branches of the armed forces"
May Get Eisenhower Views. .
Gen. Eisenhower, en- route to the
United States, may be asked to ex-
press his views on the merger. Gen.
ElsenaoWer's Frankfurt headuuar-
tiers said he will appear before COM
mitteeS of Congress.
Some Senators took issue yester-
day with suggestions by admirals
and civilian Navy leaders that
commission of military and naval
experts and civilian be appointed to
make a complete study of the con-
troversial subject before Congress
acts.
Senator Hills comment on this
was: When you can't beat an idea
any other way you get it referred
to a commission.
Senator johnson, Democrat, of
California, acting chairman of the
Military Committee, said:
IF / wanted to defeat or delay
a plan, that is what I would try to
do"
But Senator Wilson, Republican,
of Iowa, freshman member, had
a different point of view:
Il think the Navy has raised some
excellent points" he said, adding,
Il need all the help I can get on
these problems"

 SELECT COMMITTEES


 Each local union, each central la bor body, should start selecting members of its non-partisan political action committee. A careful check should be kept on the voting records of those who represent us. We must remember that 1946 is an off year, and if the friends of labor are to be returned to office, long-range cam paign is imperative.

Industry Not Cooperating, Collins Says

of workers are liable to remain job less for many months to come, while the bitter feeling engendered by in duStry's uncooperative attitude makes industrial strife inevitable and jeo- pardizes the states outlook for pros perity.
 ''Only change of heart on the part of COnnecticut's industrial ists can prevent these unhappy con- ditions from developing. Only as progressive leaders in business and industry assert themselves and hold in check their backward-minded associates will there be real hope for peaceful industrial relations and full production and employ ment in the months to come.''

 "As consequence, I find bitter re- sentiment against the Connecticut Manufacturers Association prevailing among organized workers. They right fully ask how can industry's expres- Sions in favor of cooperation be taken seriously when their agent pursues the same coursd he did at the regular ses- sion of the state legislature, that is, to throw his weight against every piece of progressive labor and social legislation proposed.
 ''And the very next day follow ing the hearing before the Legis- lative Council officers of the Manu- lecturers Association had the eff frontery to face representatives of labor and to talk of promoting mu- tual understanding and cooperation of labor and management"
 This clearly showed, Collins con tlnued, that the manufacturers organ izations are giving only lip service to such ideas.

Only e-Third Of Pre-Hitler Number

Two hundred thousand of Berlin's 3,OOO,0OO population are now members of trade unions, the American Military Government reports. Eighteen unions are functioning, four of them covering white-cOllar workers.
 The number of trade union ists in the shattered capital of the defeated Reich is only one third of the membership before Hitler's rise to power III l033.
 METAL TRADES ACTIVE
 The eighteen unions are united into the Freie Deutsche Cewerk- schaftsbund. The basic unit is the individual plant. Then come the unit locals and the borough coun- cils. The biggest unions at present are those made up of government and municipal employees, railroad workers postal employees, telephone workers and telegraph workers. Correspondents say that the Metal Trades Union is the most active.
 Weakest of the major unions thus far is the Building Workers Union. Men of Germany's building trades were drafted for the Nazis' Todt or ganization, the military construction corps whose personnel is scattered over the continent.
 Joseph D. Keenan, Chicago A. F. of L. leader and vice-chairman of the War Production Board, who was in Germany recently, has reported that he had difficulty in making contact with o1d-time democratic trade union leaders.
 Almost all of them were thrown into concentration camps soon af- fer Hitler took over. They were beaten. starved and tortured. The few who have survived are shadows of what they once were.
