LABOR:
DEFY Injunction

Always jealous of it's right to
strike to enforce wage and other de-
mands, organized labor presented a
united front against a county courts
anti-strike injunction against the In
dependent Association of Employees
of Duquesne Light company in
Pittsburgh, Pa.
In issuing the injunction, the
three-judge court needed the city
solicitors plea to act in the public
interest in preventing costly pow
er strike. Though the order later was
dissolved when the solicitor de-
clared that it had served to force a
resumption of bargaining between
the disputants, IAE members re-
mained adamant about returning to
work as long as it stayed in effect.
Apprehensive of the no-strike and
no-picketing features of the injunc-
ton, AFL and CIO unions support
ed the IAE walkout. Labor charged
that the court order was in violation
Of both the state and federal anti
injunction laws and there was no
law requiring men to work against
their wish.

GREECE:
CiviI Strife

King George II of Greece faced
no happy return to his homeland as
open civil war ragged in the noun
famous northwestern border regions
and the Red-dominated Albanian
and Yugoslav governments were
charged with actively aiding the
rebels.
Premier Constantin Tsaldaris
bluntly attributed the strife to Rus
sian efforts to tighten their grip on
the Near East. Said he: "It is as
clear as MONDAY that this is i.
for the benefit of those who aim to
take advantage of our troubles with
a view of securing an outlet to the
Aegean sea-"
AS last resort, 10000 British
troops ensconsed in Greece were be-
ing readied for intervention in the
dispute if the government forces
failed to check the left-wing upris-
ing. With the country occupying a
strategic position near the Darda-
nelles and Suez canal, Britain and
Russia have been waging bitter
diplomatic war for control-the
British to protect their lifeline to
the East, the Russians to weaken
their rivals and to extend their own
dominance over the rich area.

MEAT:
Den,s Differ

Heightening of the meat crisis
found Democratic leaders at odds
over the retention of controls, with
President Truman calling for con-
tinuation of regulations and other
party heads favoring a relaxation, if
necessary.
Declaring there was a shortage
but no famine in meat, Mr.. Truman
looked to a fall run of grass-fed cat
tie to relieve the nationwide scare
ity. Attributing the current shortage
to heavy livestock marketings dur
ing the recent suspension Of OPA,
the President asserted that removal
of controls now would add to diff
culties later.
Mr.. Truman spoke shortly after
the Democratic national executive
committee took cognizance of the
meat situation and instructed Chair
man Hannegan to discuss higher
prices, decontrol or other remedial
measures with government authori-
ties. The committees action came
close upon Democratic House Lead
er McCormack's plea for a go day
suspension of meat control.

If there had been a word-count-
ing device on my typewriter, /
would not be writing this end-piece
now. But it is just as well authors
haven't adopted these wordometers
or they might find their thoughts be-
ing regimented.
The typewriter has already ad-
vanced far in its evolution. There
is now a typewriter for the Chinese
with their 5,400 (believe-it-or-not)
characters. 1t is a product of the
miracle working International Busi-
ness Machines corporation. But it
is no miracle for IBM which built
a gadget used at the Nuremberg tri-
ais whose dial we could twist to
produce with equal f1uency, English,
French, Russian or German, re-
gardless of what language was be-
ing spoken. Of course human be-
ings = lightning translators - are
cogs in its works. The Nuremberg
trials lasted too long as it was-but
they would have lasted four times
as long, if it hadn't been for IBM.
/ understand a typewriter is be-
ing perfected into which you talk and
which obligingly types the words you
speak with no manual effort on your
part. How, wonder, would this
recording typewriter spell: If you
spell the word "house" on the ordi-
nary keyboard it comes out that
way, house. But if the machine
operated by sound, ''house", de-
pending on where the speaker was
born, might come out "ha-ows";;
"idea" might appear as ''idear".
For my part should be very hap
py if a gadget were invented which
would spell better than my type
writer can or even if the gadget
would produce a synonym now and
then after l had repeated the same
! shopworn word three times.

what our foreign policy toward Rus
sia was supposed to be, and if so,
why. l shall report as nearly as I
can what have heard. The report
will not be in the formal language
of diplomacy, in which, we have
been told, words are used to con-
ceal thoughts. I report it, COM
pressed, of course, but as nearly as
possible in the phraseology used
by gentlemen who ought to know
what they are talking about.
We start with the not-too-startling
revelation that American negotia-
tions with Russia are complicated
and difficult.
They are complicated because it
appears the approach must be made
along two separate paths, each lead
ing to separate Russian group.
They are difficult because there
are unusual obstacles put in the
way of the diplomat, especially our
representative in Moscow; OBJ
stacles which, I am assured, must
be encountered at close quarters to
be appreciated.
The two groups, since neither is
homogeneous nor closely identifi-
able, might better be referred to as
two elements. One comprises that
great indefnable and inarticulate
body, roughly classified as "the
Russian people," Americans who
have spent some time in Russia and
who have enjoyed such contact as
is permitted with the Russian peo-
pie, say they are devoted to their
country with Spartan loyalty, SEN
sitive to its shortcomings, proud
of it's achievements.
Many in this group, especially
those who have met Americans,
like us. All want to know more
about us. For example, they de-
YOUR the big, propaganda, picture
magazine "Amerika" printed in
their language and distributed by
our embassy. Formerly we distrib-
uted $4,000 copies. Later we were
permitted to increase the printing
to $4,000 copies. It is estimated
that a hundred Russians read each
copy of Amerika; it is black-market-
ed at high price and read to tat
ters.
This group admires and respects
mechanical know-how, our indus
tries, our technical skills. Officially
there has been no propaganda to
cry down American achievement in
