Press Federal Action On Columbia Riot

WASHINGTON, Mar. Il CAMP
Describing invasion of the Negro
district in Columbia, Tenn, as a
Nazi inspired "pogrom" similar to
those brought by Germans into
Jewish ghettos, national organiza-
tion was formed here to protest riot
investigation methods of Tennessee
officials which cost the lives of two
Negroes. One hundred and fifty
delegates, representing every sec
ton of the country,
Clark H. Foreman, president of
the Southern Conference for Human
welfare, speaking for the newly or
ganized group, asked President
Truman and Atty. Gen. Tom Clark
for immediate action to bring to
justice those responsible for the
two fatal shootings which occurred
in the Columbia sheriff's office.
The conference, initiated jointly
by the Southern Conference for
Human welfare, the National Un-
ion of Mine, Mill and Smelter Work
ers, CIO, and the National Fedora
,tion for Constitutional Liberty,
heard eye witness reports of the
riots. Samuel A. Newberger, repre-
senting the NFCL, said a personal
investigation revealed evidence that
official carelessness led to the two
fatalities.
City Police Chief John Griffin
told reporter last week that "there
is not a word of truth" in the asser-
ton that Maury county and Ten
nessee officials were eager to start
something at the time of the riots.
Griffin says he was pelted with
buckshot when he entered the Mink
Slide section of Columbia during
the disturbance.
Attorney general in charge of the
criminal division of the department
of justice, Theron l.. Caudle, as
sured the new organizatio that any
law official found guilty of denying
any citizen his civil rights would be
brought to trial.
Howard Mooney, Columbia rep
resentative Of the Mine, Mill and
Smelter Workers union, demanded
prosecution and disciplinary action
against the officials handling the
disorders.
The group asked all representa-
tives to urge their organizations to
work on a united basis to see that
justice is done.

The Waterbury delegation was nominat- ed unpledged but it is understood from reliable authority that the local delegates will enter the convention definitely pledged. Two years ago the Waterbury delegation entered the convention at Torrington unpledged and were accused by others in the District of avoiding issues" The local delegates, number 46, control the balance of power.
 Both Fitzpatrick and Patrick Kel- ley, this city, were in attendance at last nights local conventions Kel- ley had forwarded telegran1s to all delegates to the congressional con- vention asking their support An in- formal poll of local delegates seem- ed to favor Fitzpatrick at this time, because he is a veteran"

graduate nurses. Since the eldest
boy joined the marines, Mr.. Oeser
has been doing all the work on his
160-acre farm with the help of his
wife and the 10 and 14-year-olds.
They have a lot of livestock and
raise enough grain on their farm
to feed the cattle.
Mr.. and Mrs. Oeser were widely
entertained while in Washington and
enjoyed every minute of it. How
ever, Mrs. Oeser was shocked at
the prices of food and didn't "see
how family the size of hers could
possibly afford to live in a CITY,"
While congress recently rewrote
the tax law to fit peacetime govern
ment expenditures-and the peoples
earnings-they had in their possess
sion the suggestion for a new type
of tax program. I say ''new type"
because it is sponsored by small
businesses employing approximate
ly $500, 900 workers.
The sponsors are convinced that
their comprehensive program will
do number of worthy things in ad-
dition to speeding reconversion and
giving tax relief to individuals and
business. They say it will also pro-
vide favorable tax climate for
small business, encourage venture
capital, provide high employment at
well-paid jobs, stimulate consump-
ton, increase the national income,
balance the budget at high employ
ment levels, reduce federal expen-
ditures and retire the national debt.
Aside from immediate reductions
for individuals and corporations, the
long-range program calls for the fol-
lowing: For the individual, an ini-
tial tax of 16 per cent and reduction
of surtaxes, the rates on long-term
capital gains, estate and gift taxes.
Existing exemptions and credits
would be retained, deductions of
capital losses would be allowed on
the same basis as capital gains
are taxed, double taxation of divi-
dends would be alleviated. The state
chambers of commerce would con-
tinue the principle of the withhold
ing tax while at the same time try
ing to improve it.
In the long term picture for busi-
ness, the group would have corpora
tion taxes reduced and the continu-
alton of favorable tax climate
for small business.

Ready Credit
Alive to the growing volume of
installment financing, over $4,000
state and national banks will extend
consumer credit in the postwar
years, greatly expanding their pre-
war operations when they supplied

country.
While not all of the banks intend
to extend all types of consumer
credit, l0,5O0 plan to make personal

BIC MAN:
Cr0tUs Bigger

One of the biggest of the wartime
entrepreneurs, Henry J. Kaiser con-
tinued his postwar growth with the
leasing of two huge government
aluminium mills at Spokane, Wash,
with options to buy.
In granting Kaiser companies use
of the plants, the government an
nounced that it sought to increase
competition in the industry present
ly dominated by two companies.
Because Kaiser plans to extensively
employ the metal in his automo-
biles, the government also said, he
might open new field for use Of
the material and thus open a mar
ket for other U. S.-owned aluminium
plants.
In leasing the SAT $4,000 Trent
wood aluminium rolling mill, Kaiser
Frazier agreed to pay yearly rent
al amounting to per cent of gross
sales or fixed sums, running up to
So, 1857 900 in 1851. In obtaining the
$22, ,270,0 Mead aluminium reduc-
ton plant, Kaiser Cargo, Inc, will
pay annual charges up to $1,248, 900
in the fifth year.

tIlG WOllQ.
Byrnes' enunciation of the admin
istration's foreign policy followed
Vandenberg's charge upon return
ing from the United Nations Organ
ization sessions in London that the
American representative sat back
with compromising attitudes while
Russia and Britain pressed their po-
litical ambitions. Unless the U. S.
pushes it's ideals, Vandenberg said,
Russia will continue to press ahead
in the Far East, eastern Europe,
North Africa and Asia Minor where
continued aggressiveness may set
off a powder keg.
In reaffirming U. S. determination
to check future aggression, Byrnes
declared that the present arrange
ment of the three great powers
precluded world domination by any
one of them, but that efforts to upset
the balance would imperil peace. In
calling for early peace treaties, he
asked for an ending of the drain
ing of occupied countries. Demand
ing equitable reparations agree
ments, Byrnes said the U. S. would
not tolerate any power deciding
for itself what to take.

NATIONAL INCOME:

With the national income in each
month of 1945 running below the
1914 level, the years total dropped
to 145,594 million dollars in 1945
from the record high of 160,695 mill
lion dollars in 1914. National in
come, however, was practically as
large as in 1943 when it was the
second largest on record. Further
more, the fact should not be over
looked that the l945 figure is pre-
liminary and actually may be larger.

The people OF X-ville, listening to
me as they have for the last three
years, feel, am sure, that they
know me better because they know
my sponsor, Joe Doe-a lot of them
personally, lot more because they
have almost daily personal contact
with the clerks in his big depart
ment store. And that goes for the
flour mill, the bank, the bakery, the
dairy, the hotel, the electric power
company, the finance company, the
flour and feed store, and what have
you (and what haven't you in the
coop dish?).
Like writing for a weekly news
paper, there is a hometown intimacy
about this arrangement. This init
macy, vicarious though it may be,
goes a long way toward breaking
down the barrier of invisibility be-
tween the unseen broadcaster and
his audience.
Highly important too, is the total
goodwill engendered by the cooper
ative sponsorship system. It means
a lot to the sponsor to have the lis
tener realize that a hometown
supported institution is paying for
the program he listens to.
Before accept sponsor ! have
to know something about him. When
we get together have a chance to
learn a lot more about him and he
about me. Thus, my 130 bosses have
helped me, in sense, to re-discover
America, and it doesn't do a bit of
harm to those of us who spend so
much time on Pennsylvania avenue
to have daily reminder of Main
street which is the real America.
So much for direct benefits to sta
ton sponsor listener broadcaster.
But there is something which is
even more important to radio as a
whole. I believe the coop system
viii go long way toward dissolv-
ing ar unfounded suspicion held by
some of the general public: name
" that a commentator reflects his
sponsors opinions. Personally, I
have never known such case, but
the myth is widespread. Well, it is
obvious that even 80 sponsors
couldn't agree to disagree with
their commentator on any one thing
and when the number passes the
hundred mark, neutralizing effect
results which produces cross-sec-
ton view that could reflect only an
average Of American tolerances.

SPAIN:
Hot Spot

With leftist elements in France
pressing the issue, a new govern
ment loomed in Franco Spain, long
under fire for Fascist connections
but repeatedly countenanced by
Britain because of it's neutrality dur
ing World War III, which diverted
direct attack on Gibraltar.
The Allies first major step in
seeking to supplant Franco came
with Frances closure of it's border
against Spain. Prodded by French
proposals to take up the matter with
the United Nations organization, the
U. S. and Britain then repeatedly
agreed to form a common front to
apply pressure for Francois re-
moval.
While renouncing intentions to
NEEDLE with Spain's internal af-
fairs, the U. S. and Britain moved
to denounce the continued existence
of FRANCOIS regime and proclaim
their willingness to recognize an in
terim representative government if
he were ousted. Awaiting resolution
of the situation, the u S. and Brit
ain would not break off economic
ties or diplomatic relations, leaving
the road open for negotiations for
creation of a democratic govern
ment,
