 Imitation comes in for . big play in both sheets. but. oh, with what different emphasis According tot The Democrat" the administrations program will protect the public from ruinous imitation and keeE prices under reasonable" control According to Thf Republican News" it's the CIo-Truman Imitation Plan" which is setting the stage for higher prices

 His appointment coincides with that of another insurance man. George Allen to be director of the REC Four of Aliens companies were involved in the bribing of Harry Trumars old friend, Boss Fender gast of Kansas City.
 Admiral souers was financial vlce-president of the Missouri State Insurance Company when 1t went to the wall in August, leSS The company operated in Ss states and 250OOO policy holders supposed to be insured for over $l,OOo0OOoOO found themselves holding almost worthless paper.
 Although souers was financial vice. president the collapse may not have been his fault However, the interesting point is the manner In which Boss Pen dergasts insurance commissioner, Emmett oMalley twho later went to jaiD, reorsanized the company and renstated souers as a vice-president
 MT. O'Malley hastened to get himself appointed receiver but even before he did so let 1t be known that he favored entering into contract with New York promoter group which had just incorporated under the name of General American Life Insurance Company They offered $2O0OOOO for the assets of the old Missouri State Life,
 Thirteen different state insurance commissioners came to St. Louis to oppose oMalley's deal One ob- jecton was that oMaey had not advertised for bids two weeks In advance, as required by law. Clinton o Sheperd actuary for Missouri State Life, testified that the new company which oMalley was so anx- ious to favor would make a profit of $4000O00 tc s50O0O0O out of their $2OO0OOO investment. Relue tantly, Circuit Judge Hamilton okayed the deal.
 Immediately, oMalley reinstated souers as vice president, despite the fact that on the face Of it. hi previous operations as financial vice-president ap peared not too successful,
 OMaley later accepted a bribe of $6250O floi a group of insurance companies in connection wit the Boss Pendergast insurance scandal and went l. jail,

 Among them are those who flocked from the dreary farms and the backwoods to the metropolitan localities for well paying jobs in plants. Another group comprises those who used to be referred to as the servant class. They graduated into higher brackets during the manpower shortage. The veter- ans the kids who went straight from high school and college into the service and who grown men, many with wives and children and experience ex cept their service experience, we know about, and must somehow provide for.

 We dare to say that the past five years have taken Fer toll of the man. Years burdened by conscience and made meaningless because of their frantic identity years of exile from loved and the security of their love- The cost must have been high

Murphy was chief of bureau for the Philadelphia Inquirer ONeal for the Chicago Sun. Both have been president of the National Press Club They are good friends, personally so what their papers have to say about the others politics must all be in fun
 For instance. the names of oil man Ed Pauley and insurance man George Allen aren't mentioned as all in The Democrat" which you would normally expect to find bragging about its great leaders It's to "The Democrat" however, that you have to turn to read all about Republican oil man Joe Pew and steel man Ernest T. Weir
 In "Thc Republican News." Pauley Is referred to lovingly as "oily Ed" and Allen ks'Joly George, Trumans court jester" In The Democrat" Weir is praised as "a batting steel magnate and heavy sugar daddy of the COP" This pretty exchange of compliments merely shows on what a high plane U. s. politics k conducted.

REQUIRED READING
he Christian Science Monitor)

CThe Christian Science Monitor
 The story of the Miller Dairy of New Canaan, Connecticut, should be required reading for every top union leader in the country. For it is a story which warns of dangerous trend--as dangerous to the union worker as to anyone.
 The three Miller brothers oper- ated a small dairy, selling premium quality milk and employing a half dozen or so drivers. The brothers worked right along with their men, The Teamsters' Union organized the drivers, demanded the wage scale be boosted by one half and the com missions by two thirds, and that the brothers cease manual work When the dairy said the demands were be- yond its means, strike was called. the plant picketed, and the cars of customers calling for milk were damaged.
 All of this is bad enough; much of it is, we regret to say, too com mon. But the reason why all those who guide the policies of American union labor should know about this lies in what a spokesman for the Teamsters told the Miller brothers: That if they were too small to af- ford the unions demands, they should sell out to a bigger operator, The Millers wouldn't sell They just quit.
 No group in the country has com planed more earnestly, and more frequently of the menace of huge corporations to the little fellow" Now the Nation finds it must be on guard against the menace of huge unions to the little business. Organ ized labor has rightly held much public sympathy in its struggle to gain comparable bargaining power with big business. Are the policies and tactics applicable to big bus mess bargaining now to be applied infleXibly to the little fellow regard less of whether he goes down under the steam roller? Do the unions de- sire an economy in which they must deal with more big and fewer small employers? Do the American people want such an economy-and want it developed by such methods?

MT. Molotov's Fears

Foreign Commissar MolotOv made rather hysterica, swordrattng speech while back in which he accused Rus sas wartime allies of keeping antiRussian forces under arms in Europe and thus encouraging dangerous talk of third World War; He spoke particularly of items of thous- ands of troops of the Polish Fascist General Ander in Italy, and hned that General Anders troops were preparing to attack "the democratic Poland"
 Mir. Mootoy can't have forgotten General finders Poles were Russias allies and that many of them fought nearly six years against the enemy He can't be ignorant of why these troops not to return to the new democratic Poand why the United States and Britain are not anxious send them back. Many counymen of these Polish troops have suffered Imprisonment and death for the crime of opposing the present Sovietponsored Polish government Is it any wonder that General finders men prefer to remain outside Poandg
 The United States and Britain cannot depor these men what certain punishment Further they and other displaced persons be useful especially since the American occupation forces being sharply reduced Perhaps if Mr. M0otoy could find 1t possible o soften his begef- ent t0ne to cease calling every antCommunist Fascist and to arrange political amnesty for these who fought and bed against Russas enemy he might hear less dan geF0us talk of third World War;

The announced program to ir- trcduce modern penal methods at the State Reformatory in Cheshire must be regarded as step in the right direction.
