James Y. Carmichael Seeks
Governorship In State
Of Georgia

ATLANTA, April 15-tR-James
v. Carmichael, 36-year-old former
state legislator and head of the
Bell Aircraft corporations Mari
eta, Ca, plant during the war,
announced Monday he would be a
candidate for governor of Georgia.
Carmichael, mentioned in early
speculation as choice of the
Arnall administrati ton to carry on
it's reforms, announced soon after
ward he would not run because
of his health and the press Of his
business duties.
Changes Mind
: However, he said the entry into
the field of former Governor
Eugene Talmadge, whom 37-year-
old Ellis Arnall defeated four years
ago, caused him to change his
mind.
81 had hoped a progressive can
didate would appear" Carmichael
said. "None has. My conscience
will not permit me to sit idly
by and let the forces which dragged
Georgia into the mud return to
office without the people having
the opportunity to vote for the
kind of government I believe
they want"
A constitutional ban against a
second term prevents Governor
Arnall from running again. While
he has not formally announced.
former Governor E. D. Rivers is
also expected to be candidate.

The fish will be sealed individual

GOVERNMENT ACTS
IN BUTTER CRISIS
Wartime Controls To Be
Restored In Order To
Get Produce

WASHINGTON, April 15-R)-
The government acted Monday to
get housewives more butter and
keep their dairy bills from rising.
To get more butter, it will re-
store the wartime controls which
prohibited sale of whipping cream
and restricted the amount OF but
ter fat in ice cream. It also will
put price ceilings for the first time
on cream which goes into manu-
factured products such as ice
cream and bakery goods.
In Sixty Days
Eve can't expect to see a big
increase in the supply of butter IN
the stores overnight, but I think we
can count on real Improvement
within the next so days" said
Sterilization Director Chester
Bowles in a statement announcing
the new program.
Details of the butterfat restric-
tions and the new cream ceiling
will be issued later. They are
designed to overcome a situation
which makes it more profitable
to use butterfat for ice ceram and
other goods than for butter.
More Subsidies
To keep prices of milk, butter,
cheese and other dairy products
at their present levels, the OPA
will pay higher subsidies to farm
ers instead of granting the higher
prices for which they have been
clamoring.
Bowles said he recognized that
many dairy farmers "are being
squeezed by higher feed and labor

gem.
The latest go-seeker, we see in

Mr.. Williamson claims to have
found the hulk of the long-lost
Spanish galleon, Santa Rosa, en-
tombed in cave of coral OF
Key West.
He isn't exactly looking for gems.
The object of his search, it seems,
is a mere matter of some $50, ,000,-
600 worth of gold which the
Spaniards swiped from the Aztecs.
1t is probable, however, that he
won't pass up any gems he might

was the poor showing OF the Ma
tional Social party with which Pres
ident Benes has been identified and
which represents the principle Of
moderation for national unity. The
Socialists likewise did badly, this
apparently being due to the disap-
proyal OF many of its followers at
the way in which its leader, Zdenek
Fierlinger, had played in with the
Communists. Under normal parlia-
mentary procedure, Fierlinger, now
Prime Minister in the temporary
coalition government, would resign
in favor of Klement Gottwald, the
Communist leader. Yet it is possible
that the Communists themselves
may prefer that Fierlinger should
retain the Premiership in Parlia-
ment in which the Communists and
left-wing Socialists will, at best,
have slim majority.

So far, however, neither Britishers

an open bid for German moral support

This retaliative measure on the part of
the Russians now reported from Berlin
is new and ominous departure.
The German nation lies completely
humiliated and whether some individuals
are or are not called on to testify for
the Righteousness of the Russian cause
may be considered a matter for indiffer-
ence. But it must be a tremendous
encouragement to all Germans to feel
that among their conquerors there al
ready is disposition to regard the
vanquished of yesteryear as an eventual
factor in the balance of power game
which has been set in motion and to
treat them accordingly. The Germans
must feel sure by now that, sooner or

Dollar Value
Chicago Journal of Commerce

From the Chicago Journal of Commerce
Who would ever have thought that
the day would come when the consumer
with money couldn't buy a shirt or a
pound of butter? There had always
been ample supplies, and all of us
took 1t as matter of course that there
always would be more than enough to
meet the demand. It was inconceiyable
that time would come when money
wouldn't buy the most commonplace
things.
The present condition, of course, is
temporary. Most of the items currently
In short supply will become available
again and attract the waiting dollars,
though 1t may be some years before
the average family can build house or
get the new car or satisfy all its food
wants.
Yes, as production grows, money
will be worth something. And that
brings us to another point the teachers
used to make-that production Is wealth.
Many Of u better understand that now.

Think This Deal Over

A. F. Whitney and Alvanley john
ston made public the text of their
telephone conversations with DR..
John r. Steelman and the President
in order to show that they were
"double-crossed" in poStponing the
rail strike for week. The post
ponement was ordered on the tacit
assurance of DR.. Steelman and the
President that the railroad manage
ment would yield additional points.
The railroad management did not
yield and the end of the postpone
ment found the President on Capitol
Hill asking for his emergency legis-
lation and putting the blame on
Messrs. Whitney and Johnston.
That is one side of it and the tran
script speaks for itself. To many
Americans, however, the incredible
picture revealed by these telephone
conversations relates to the agree
ment between these four men to
evade the provisions of a Federal
statute and to fix it up in advance
with the Attorney General. The eva
sion revolved about the question
whether, the Government already
having taken over the railroads, re-
newal of the strike after a truce"
would constitute violation of the
Smith, -Connally Act. The railroad
men were advised by their own and
other counsel that it might be so
considered.
Said Mr.. Whitney: "Our attorneys
advised us if we postponed this strike
for five days, we will say, and then
we don't settle, and the strike goes
on, that might be considered vio-
lation of the Smith Connally Act"
The President: Il don't think it
would be if you follow the directions
that Steelman has dictated to you"
President Whitney: "And you will
protect us with the Attorney Gen
eral as far as you can?"
The President: Eyes"
In the long history of shortcuts,
expedients, evasions and double
dealings that through the war and
since have marked the National
Governments role as mediator in
strikes and threats to strike, things
like this may have happened before
But they have been carefully with
held from the public. The transcript
of these telephone conversations now
reveals, in all its discomfiting impli-
cations, the affront to public con-
science that results when the Presi-
dent of the United States and his
mediator, DR.. Steelman, put them
selves in the position of arranging
how to circumvent a Federal statute
in order to gain a few days respite
for the people of the United States
from a strike which would mean
national chaos.

Signals Mixed
From the Norfolk (Nebr.) News.

<Iom inc NorlolK (NebrD News.
President Truman's frantic calls for
wheat to keep the people of Europe from
starvation shows just how wrong our
Washington planners can be.
Only seven months ago Department
OF Agriculture experts, after record
wheat crop, were estimating that we had
enough wheat to supply all of our do
mestic wants, send to hungry areas
abroad as much as could be transported,
permit the feeding of wheat to live-
stock without restrictions and provide q
larger than normal reserve.
Our grain experts were as far OF the
beam as the other experts who were
forecasting a recession with millions of
idle walking the streets by this time.
But in spite of their glaring misses
we are told by Henry Wallace, the "lib-
eral" Washington correspondents and
various Washington job-holders that we
must trust our future to the planning
of these same experts.

The Cuse Bill

IL Is widely DelleVed that President
Truman will veto the Case bill,
which would require labor unions
to measure up to certain minimum
standards of responsibility. Perhaps
this belief is correct, yet it is difficult
to conceive of any grounds upon
which a veto could be justified.
There is nothing drastic about the
provisions OF the Case bill, and it is
nonsense to say that the measure
is "antilabor," unless it is believed
that labor unions are immune from
any legislative control. Briefly, the
bill would do these things: Cd Set
up a new and badly needed Federal
mediation board with limited pow
ers. (2) Outlaw the extortion of
money from farmers hauling their
produce to market. 60 Ban exclu-
sive union administration of well
fare and similar funds financed by
an employer. (0 Exempt super
visory employees from the scope of
the Wagner Act. (5) Authorize suits
for damages against labor unions
for violation of collective bargaining
contracts. co Curb secondary boy
colts and jurisdictional strikes. (D
Provide penalties for the use of
force or violence in labor contro-
verSies. 90 Deprive workers of
their status as employees under the
Wagner Act If they fail to observe
cooling-off period prior to striking.
No one would contend that this
achieves perfection in the field of
labor legislation. It leaves much
undone and 1t may be that expert
ence would show the need of change
in some OF the provisions. Never
theless, it is a beginning on the
long-overdue task of revising and
balancing the laws which have been
too heavily weighted in labor's favor.
Both the need and the public de-
mand for legislation of this sort are
perfectly clear, and If proof is needed
1t may be found in the 40 to 20 and
230 to 106 votes by which the meas
ure was passed in the Senate and
the House. These overwhelming
votes were not cast in a moment of
anger, but after extended considera-
ton of the bill, hearings in both
branches of Congress, and years of
experience with the labor abuses
which the measure is designed to
correct.
Most certainly, the bill cannot be
vetoed on any premise that such
action would be in the public in
terest. 1t is argued, however, that
a veto would be politically advan-
tageous to the President. In the
prevailing circumstances, this is a
dubious assumption. But even II
the validity Of the proposition be
accepted, there is reason to hope
that the President will not seek to
avail himself of such an ADVANTAGE.
He has recently taken strong stand
IN the public interest, and, while
politicians Of various shades have
sought to make capital of what Mr..
Truman has done, the President
has gained stature in public estima-
ton. IT this is not a political ad-
vantage in the ordinary sense, 1t is
an asset which he will not lightly
cast away.
