Democratic Rally
Here Next
Thursday

Gov. Colgate Darden will visit
various sections of Dickinson
county next Thursday. Nov. LIST
and address a political rally in
the courtroom here the same ev-
ening. This will make the second
visit Governor Darden has made
to Dickinson county since being
governor. His other visit of short
duration was in June, 1914, at
which time he visited some of
the one-room schools in the coun
ty and inspected the country
roads.
With the political speech of
the governor in the county, inter
est in the forthcoming guberna-
torial campaign is expected TO
quicken appreciably among par
ty followers. Whether or not any
of the democratic candidates will
appear on the same program is
not known at this time. Hon.
Floyd Landreth, Republican nom
inee for governor and one of his
running mates spoke here to a
large gathering of party adher-
ents about two weeks ago.
The campaign up 10 this time
in Dickinson county has been
of very little interest apparently
to either of the political parties.
Following the decision of Judge
Gum in declaring Preston Coll
ms the democratic nominee for
lieutenant governor instead of
Charles Fenwick, there has been
some rumors of dissatisfaction
among certain democratic ele-
ments. However, a protest vote
in this county is expected to be
Light.
It is reported that over in Wise
county sentiment against Collins
is rather strong among heretofore
strong democratic elements. The
sample ballots we have been in
formed, do not appear to be mark
ed for Collins at all.
In Buchanan county, is is also
reported that there will be a pro
test vote against Collins. Both
Wise and Buchanan counties
gave Fenwick substantial major
tiles.

HAITIAN5 REPLACE
AMBASSADOR

ASHIN GTON, Sept. II
(ANP)-Monsieur Andre Liau-
taud, ambassador to the United
States from Haiti, is.being replaced
here this month, it is learned. On
Sept. 20, he will return to Port au
Prince where he will join the cabi-
net of President Ellie Lescot as min
lister of education and health.
Jacques Antoine, for four years
secretary of the legation in Wash
ington until 1941, will take over the
post here. Antoine is at present un-
dersecretary of foreign affairs.
NJ. Liautaud called on President
Truman on Friday to say goodbye.
Later he was the guest of honor at
a cocktail party given for him at
Blair house. He left Washington on
Sunday for John Hopkins hospital
in Baltimore where he will undergo
a check-up before returning to
Haiti.
Haiti was one of the group Of
Latin American countries whose
representatives were el-
evated to the rank of ambassador in
1943. NJ. Liautaud, then his coun-
try's minister, was the first to serve
in the higher rank.
During his stay here his efforts
were primarily directed toward the
development of stronger CONNER
cial relations between the two coun-
tries. The unsuccessful cruptos-
tegia program, the economic mis-
sion to Haiti to explore the republic
for small-business possibilities, and

more recently the submission of a

government are matters in which
he has had large hand.
Liautaud, however, has been crit
icized widely for his failure to en-
courage closer ties between Haiti
and Negro Americans in the man
ner that President Lescot did when
he was his country's minister here.

R0TNEM RESIGNS civil RIGHTS
POST IN ATTORNEY
GENERALS OFFICE

ASHIN TON, Sept. IL
(ANP)-Victor N. Rotnem, chief
of the civil rights section of the Of
flee of the attorney general, has
resigned that position after four
years with the section. He is enter
ing private practice and repeatedly
will represent a Jewish refugee in
an action looking to the reacquisi-
ton of certain property which had
been confiscated by the Hitler regi-
me.
Rotnem came to the section on
July 10, 1910, when it was under
Henry A. Schweinhaut who had
been special counsel for the Attor-
ney general in the notable Philadel-
phia Transit strike. Rotnem be-
came chief of the section in June,
1941.
Under his direction, probably the
largest number of civil rights cases
in the history of the department
was investigated, prosecuted and
convictions won. These have ranged
from forced confessions right
through to vote denials.
One of the more important deci
sions of the United States Supreme
court in the area of civil rights was
handed down in the famous Screws
case after agents of the Federal
Bureau of Investigation, working
through the civil rights section,
built up evidence to support its
claim to supersede local enforce
ment officers where there had been
a breakdown in local enforcement.
Again in the Smith VS. Albright
white primary" case out of Texas
the department entered brief as
friend of the court in which the
position taken by the NAACP was
strongly upheld. The high court
again held for the right.
The name of Rotnem's successor
has not been announced yet, but
great care was being exercised, it
was said, to pick a man Of high cali
bre and ability.

Truman S Labor Policy
Short Sighed, Mosher Says
B, the Associated Press.

By the Associated Press.
NEW YORK, Dec. 21.-Ira
Mosher, president of the National
Association of Manufacturers, said
yesterday President Truman's wage
statements were an example of
"thoughtless and short-sighted po-
litical policy largely responsible for
much of the present labor diff
Guilty"
Mr.. Mosher said:
President Humans statement
that wages are paid out of earn
ings' and that fact-finding boards
should have the legal right to lex
anime the books of employers is a
perfect example of that type of
thoughtless and short-sighted po-
litical policy which is largely re-
sponsible for much of the present
labor difficulty in this country and
which is bound to stop progress and
prevent full employment in the
coming years if approved and ap-
piled.
What the chief executive Is say
ing in effect is that wages must be
based upon ability to pay and that
ability to pay is measured by the
earnings of a company.
This is fundamental economic
fallacy because the ability to pay
must be measured by productivity,
not by earnings

increasing class freight rates 10 per
cent in Northern and Eastern States
and decreasing them a like percent

der a restraining order today.
A three judge Federal court last
night granted temporary injunc-
ton forbidding the United states
and the ICC from enforcing COM
pliance with the order.
Gov. Ellis Araall of Georgia, one
of the interested parties, reported
yesterday that the injunction had
been signed.
Nine Northeastern States had
sought the injunction on the ground
the ICC had acted in an arbitrary
biased and capricious" manner.
The court stated there were ''rea-
sonable grounds" for believing the
commissions reports and orders
should be permanently annulled
and their enforcement enjoined."
In their decision, District Judge
Stephen w. Brennan, Utica, who
filed the injunction, Circuit Judge
Harrie B. Chase, Brattleboro. VT.
and District Judge John C. Knox,
New York City, declared:
+ There is greater justification for
continuing in effect temporarily the
present class rates which the COM
mission has prescribed and under
which business has been done for a
number of years, than for permitting
a sudden change in rates required
by the new orders, the validity of
which Is open to question"

ton was filed this month in the
