NAM Seeks Control
by Thomas Stokes

Apparently behind the closed doors some of the gentlemen really spoke from the heart. Also, big ndustraliss before have been careful to deny public ly that they were engaged in any anti-union cam tect the rights of employers and to require labor to keep its contracts. among other revsions.
 While it was a numerical minority on the board, the group identity of this minority was significant Automobiles and steel together most potent seg- ment of Amercan industry and have intricate inter relation among themselves with many others and with big finance.
 Something that happened nearly a year ago. last January, is interesting though this is not to suggest any connection that any of the parties in that other incident involved in this latest epiosde. That the rejection by General Motors and D. S. Steel few days apart, of arbitration awards in strikes current at the tme in instance by Presi- dent Truman in the other by Presidential fact-fpd ing board. That coincidence of refusal pointed out here at the time and sort of conspiracy intimated, which brought quite a kick-back.
 The intimation of conspiracy was based on more than the coincidence. It grounded also on what had been learned previously on a visit to Detroit, including an apparent determination of industry to force the whole issue into Congress for legislation, denoted in reports from industrial consultants to their principals Coupled also in the background the information from a prominent Republican Party official that what he called the big boys" were with holding contributions to the party until they were sure there would be drastic labor legislation.
 It is fact that the Congress then just starting later passed the Case Bill which was vetoed by the President
 It certain there is going to be more labor legis- ation in the new Congress. The demand is coming from the public How drastic and punitive it is will depend upon whether the Republican Party leader ship follows the extremists represented in the NAM minority whether it takes more moderate course Experienced leaders are recommending moderation.
The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-12-10

WASHINGTON, Dec lO-The extreme right in this country is operating now more actively and more openly than ever It was emboldened by the recent election and the rout of labor and left-wing ele- ments. It is feeling its oats
 It finds a ready opening in labor's lines through John L. Lewis and his strike against the Government which is slowly paralyzing the nations economy and has stirred up fierce resentment among the public The next theater of action of this right wing the forthcoming S0th Congress
 This element which is powerful because it is so well entrenched financially, showed its teeth at the annual convention of the National Association of Manufacturers in New York. It is well to point this analyze and assess future movements in this battle
 There was quite controversy behind the scenes in the closed meeting of the NAM board of directors over the organizations procurement on labor pol icy and prospective labor legislation. While those described as '"The Moderates" won out eventually and "Moderates" is term of contrast-the signti- cant thing the length to which minority repre- senting powerful interests wanted to go
 This is best set forth in the report of the meeting by Russell Porter of the New York Times who said:
 "A minority group centered on powerful autOmO- bile and steel interests that carried strong fight in the board of directors and the resolutions committee but did not carry the struggle to the convention floor failed in it's effort to put the NAM on record in favor of fortnight anti-union campaign, with specific demand for repeal of the Wagner Act"
 Mir Porter the day before said that B. E. Hutch inson, chairman of the finance committee of the Chrysler Corporation who is NAM vice-president, reported to be the active leader of the minority group which wanted outright repeal of the Wagner Act and anti-union campaign.
 This report was most revealing Hitherto indus tralists always have said publicly that the Wagner Act guaranteeing collective bargaining-sometimes called abors Magma Carta-must be retained, though they advocated various revisions and notifications

The Sculptors Dilemma

Th controversy over the statue of the late President Roosevelt to be erected in London has now assumed the uortions of minor international incident So we feel that it is time stood forth and proclaimed our sympathy with the sculptor Sir William Red-Dick
 Readers are doubtless aware that group of British CTS including several members of Parliament object to the fact that the model of the proposed statue shows the ae President standing, and wearing cloak They point out that most people remember Mr. Roosevelt as having been seated much of the me And they insist that he wore cloak only in the last of his teathough we oeheVe that point is open to question:
 This criticism fails to take into account problems confronting the creator of memorial statue wnch shou he apparent even to the inartstic layman memorial statue part monument and part portrait It must De formal noble and impressive It must be appropriate to it's setting and surroundings as we'll to the character of it's subiect It must be somewhat deaized yet it should be recognizable likeness m
 These are but few of the scuptors many difficulties But they are made progressively worse by the changing fashions in mems attire There nothing formal noble or impressive about business suit At least that is how we feel today although time may when the world will consider that the gentlemen in todays linen of distinction ads are as dashingly attired as Jacobean cavalier
 Current mems fashions to have plagued scuptors o memorial statues before At least of George Wash- ngtons artistic contemporaries reverted to the toga or simply the unadorned chest in portrayng him in marble under the evident conviction that the ruaed stocks and fuskrted coats of the period lacked dignity bettmg the Father of His Country.
 By the time the rash of Civil War statues came along
  day. Nor was theirs an uninspirng assignment. They could put plumed hat general and set him asrlde rearinr horse without being inconsistent And the frock coats of the statesmen at least provided flowing lines
 Today however the sculptor is confronted by the sack coat the fournhand te the soft shirt and the laced OK ford They are comfortable garments and not unattacve in the original But they scarcely heroic habiments when preserved in stone or bronze
 So we can't blame Sir William for including graceful sweennO cloak in his composition We can't object to his including cane which is both accurate and decorative Nor do we find fault with him for showing MT Roosevelt standing The choice may be justified symboca of the subject whose life one of action rather than contempa tion despite its infrmity.
 Doubtless Sir William conceived of his statue as some +hnc which will endure please and perhaps inspire long after the present critics of his work have departed ns earth He may have emphasized the monumental ana artistic at the expense of the photographic and reatisc But he is surely on safe ground if he assumes that in an other generation few people who his statue are gong to worry about whether Mr. Roosevelt customary wore cloak

Committees Sad End

WASHINGTON, Dec. lO-(NEA)-The once great Senate War Investigating COmmittee-the outfit that made Sen. Harry Truman famous and President-has now sunk to the lowest level.
 When Truman was chairman the committee truly on-partisan. all it's decisions by unan- nous vote, it had the confidence of the country It was one of the heahest influences for honesty and efficiency in wartime Washington.
 Today the committee is split right down the mid- de on political lines There no reason for anyone to have any confidence in anything it does from here on in It might as well be allowed to expire with the internal committee row over whether to investigate U. S. military government in Germany.
 Strangely enough the man who innocently started the blow-up is a mild-mannered, bue-eyed, baiding' 6-foot Virginian gentleman of 5i named Francis Pickens Miller. former member of the Virginia legislature author and editor, he sfved In poth World Wars At the end of World War II he was full colonel in General Staff Corps Intelligence at Supreme Headquarters in Europe and Military Gov ernment Headquarters in Germany His decorations include two Legion of Merit awards the OFdeFof the British Empire and the Croix de Guerre.
 While On duty in Germany, he saw g number Of things he thought wrong and discredit to his coun- try and the Army. He tried to have them correcteo by reports higher military authorities but got mo- where.

Steeman began by outlining the Truman posi-. ton that housing must be treated within the scope agreed with this view and asked Wyatt If he would stay on with limited powers.

It was an invitation to come in and talk over what he knew.
 Colonel Miller demurred, saying that as an Army officer he could not appear before Congressional committee without permission.

READER DEFENDS TEACHERS
 STATUS

9AAA OB
 Editor of The Democrat:
 For your cartoon and editorial of November 30, Don't Forget Those Teachers" you have the sin- cere gratitude of countless teach- CTS in and around Waterbury.
 Particularly applicable to Water bury is your reference to "the out- moded attitude which many have toward teachcing" as a cause of the shameful status to which teachers --and teaching-have deteriorated. The ridiculotisly inadequate 10 per- cent increase. tenuously and be- grudgingly yielded on temporary basis, proves your point. So does the now widely and justly despised attempt to cheat teachers of their $500 city pension, an attack made by small group of selfish. wealthy interests. notoriously inimical to teachers welfare.
 The existence of the antiquated attitude is further proved by the maintenance of a salary schedule which pays conscientious B. A. and M. A. degree holding teachers less than S5,0O0 after 20 years of ser- vice in Waterbury schools and which gives no consideration to edu- cationally valuable. informative travel or to public-spirited partici- patton in civic and school activi- ties.
 You appropriately state, Teach CTS have to find other work in or- der to live and eat decently," and then you logically suggest more adequate compensation for them" Well. Mir. Editor. Waterbury gives you reason for both sthose state- ments by maintaining wage scale which forces teachers to grub away at two or three outside jobs in or- der to exist in one modest home or in. few rooms. while some of the anti-teacher rich maintain two or three homes on one position or inheritance.
 Public opinion of teachers in- telligence is perhaps best measured by the Waterbury Taxpayers Asso- ciation's insulting attempt to make teachers believe the proposterously botched statement that living costs have risen only IA per cent. Why. even the giant of Big Business. Gen. eral Electric, advertises 45 percent increaSel
 Now, in all seriousness and sin- cerity, I ask why teachers wages are not raised 45 percent.
 The fact is that this 10 percent wage increase and that statement about a IA percent rise in living costs have evoked expressions of scorn, incredulity, derision and amazement from storekeepers, clergymen, doctors, school pupils advertising executives and countless others.
 The present economic and profes- sional status of teachers proves in- controvertibly that moneyed interests

board of education and finance, and public officials still classify teach- CTS as a Grade D. Glass 3 subscrib- CT of citizen whose economic and professional needs must be subor- dinated to political and financial expediency and to the demands of owners and unionized workers in industries to which the city unfesist- ingly pays the vastly inflated prices
 Quid acre perennius2-what iE more lasting than brass7 One aIl- swer is the inplacable opposition of moneyed interests and of public officials to the amelioration of the economic status of tetcahers. Re- alizing that, even once conscien- tious teachers now just shrug their shoulders and. yield to cynicism.
 For all your helpful editorials, teachers thank you.

STATE LAW AND CITY
 CHARTERS
(Hartford Times)

(Hartford Times)
 Among the appropriate proposals which the next Legislature might well enact into law is the sugges- ton voiced at the Northeastern States Planning and Development Conference in Hartford last week, that there be made available for cities and towns one or more models of municipal systems.
 Even better might be a general enabling law which would give local communities much freedom of ac- ton in the adoption of city man. ager or any other form of municipal administration. This was done with respect to zoning. The general framework was set up in the statute but each community can write in the detailed provisions as best suits local conditions.
 There is no doubt that the idea of nonpartisan, compact and bus inesslike municipal administration is gaining graund rapidly in this and other parts of the country. At present. West Hartford and Bloom- field have the city manager system. Pennington, Windsor, East Hart ford and Glastonbury have the matter under consideration in one form or another. The proof is in the operation of the system. The record supports the economy and good public service that are possible under the city manager plan. Some communities might wish to adopt another form of government. This shoul abe possible without having to go to the Legislature for approval ] of every detail.
