Unofficial Policy Makers

On Labor Day A. F. Whitney, head of the Brotherhood of Railway Tranmen told the world that strikes test against Congresss failure to cay out the peoples will"
 Now find that A.FL longshoremen, in a strike with in strike refuse to load UNRRA supplies for Yugosavia until Tos government makes proper restitution for the shooting down of five American armen.
 It is easy to sympathize with Mr. Whitneys lack of patience with Congress- Most of have occasion It is easier to ympathze with and applaud the ongshore mems spirit refusing to refill Uncle Sams helping hand while Titos tooth marks still visible on it.
 But fear that neither of these cases the audabe the aims We have electoral method ot expressing approval dsapproval of Congress- We have President and State Department in whose custody the program and procedure of foreign relations must main however much the ongshoremen others may dis agree with their actions.
 It's the old story here found in the veter ans goodgovernment revolt in Tennessee. Whenever group individual bypasses law protocol with mpunity however good the reason the act becomes precedent and invitation for others of less noble intent to do likewise

This Years Election
WASHINGTON-We just about to enter other election campaign for Congress.

WASHINGTON-We are just about to enter an- other election campaign for Congress.
 It is the first national election since the war. For that reason if no other it might be hoped it would be higher plane than in past But if that is to be so there will have to be a been pretty discouragng, with twiddle and twaddle and double talk and tags and labels tossed around by both sides.
 President Roosevelt, beneath which, if you peer closely enough you the figure of Harry S. Truman burdened with weighty document entitled "the Truman program" but which exists mostly only on that paper, and not on the statute books
 It's fine progran-if only his Southern Dem- ocrats did not conspre with Republicans to block it.
 Among Republicans 1t is whispered that some people would like to present program to the voters but apparently the leaders think they win the Truman default without rsking the chance of saying what they might do. At least nobody with that startling idea has got to MT. B. Carroll Reece Chair man of the Republican National Committee and ognized agent of what is called "the Old Guard"
 MT. Reeces chief campaign issue, which he is shouting up and down the land wherever he can get an audience, is something known as Communism in the Democratic Party and Washington"
 This sounds pretty horrendous until you take look at the easy and amiabe gentlemen around Harry Truman, mostly from the South and Middle West You've seen their pictures in the papers. Do they frighten you? Smile if you call them Communists. Or if you call Bob Hannegan, Democratic National Chairman, Communist.
 But MT. Reece figures it out for you Take for example excerpt from a speech over the week end in Mr. Truman's home state touching at the moment, "the current radical attempt to under mine the Government"

1920 Imitation Near

WASHINGTON, Sept. 19-(NEA) in creaseS in the cost of living during the next few months almost inevitable, and there isn't any, thing anybody can do about them except take them and not like them
 The Bureau of Labor Statistics cost-of living in- dex shows a 2 percent increase for the month end- ing Aug 15, over the month before That's percent higher than when the price controls went off iri June, II percent higher than on VI Day year ago. and 46 percent higher than August 1889, when the in Europe began.
 Four more points, or 15O and the index will be higher than it during the postwar imitation of the early 1920s In Washington, D. C., the index already has gone over the 1920 top. The thing is bound to happen in other communities all over the country
 point, but there is bare chance that food the prn cpa item in the cost of living, may level off for the balance of the year, show only slight rise the August levels The big item of uncertainty is the price level for canned fruits and vegetables of the 1946 pack Any jump in canned goods prices for this Winter will more than offset any reductions in the food bill obtained through the price controls put back on meats.
 Newly authorized price increases meats and dairy products not reflected in the Aug Is prices so further rise in the food index is certain But even the cost of food should be stabilized at pres ent levels for the Fall and Winter months there are other presSures the costof-livng index to force it up still further
 The clothing prices index is bound to go up Watch for the first prices Fall and Winter cloth ing going sale in the stores this month Advances in cotton and wool textiles approved by OPA during recent months, have been normally slow to show in retail clothing prices paid by the consumer. These

increases have been passed through manufacturers and wholesalers, however and will be reflected In all prices paid for clothing from now on.
 All manufacturers of apparel report their greatest difficulty is shortage of fabrics As long this situa tion exists there will be tendency to concentrate the production of higher priced lines of merchan- disc Clothing and garment industry representatives meeting in Washington this week recommended that the governments program to allocate fabrics and give priorities assistance to manufacturers of low cost apparel be dropped entirely This action may not be taken for the fourth quarter of 19 beginning October l, but when the controls are taken off low cost clothing will become Scarcer and further in- creaseS in the cost of clothing will follow The statement issued by Senator Albert w. Hawkes., of New Jersey, predicting that the next Congress would take steps ito the ineQuities in rent control is significant. Removing the in- equities" is merely the $10-a-month expression for raising the rent"
 Wage increases granted in steel coal, copper auto and electrical industries have all been passed on to consumers But they will show in Fall and Win ter buying of fuel, furniture and household appli- ances.
 You can argue your head off as to whether all these yolkS and whites be unScrambled to make the chicken or the egg of imitation, and which came flrSt-the wage increase which resulted in the price increases, or the price increases which will make still further wage increases necessary.
 It really doesn't make any difference The i'm portant point that the nfationary egg is already matched into inflatonary chicken. It is growing Winter The only uncertainty is how high It's a dismal prospect. Absolutely pos-World War II nfa- tion cannot be kept within the fences of post-World War I imitation.

How" asks MT. Reece "can such things happen under an administration headed by your fellow Mis- sourian, Harry s. Truman? would be the last to suggest that Mir Truman has Communist leanings. I know he does not, and do you. But if Mir Han negan in his bids for radical support for the Demo- crat administration does not represent the viewpoint of Mr. Truman, how does 1t happen that MT. Hanne- gan remains in MT. Trllnan's Cabinet and chair of the Democrat National Committee? That is question I shall not attempt to answer, but it would be interesting if MT. Truman should elect to answer it."
 What would happen if you elect Republican Congress?
 According to MT. Reece, you will get the follow ing: Re establishment of orderly honest and capable government; early end to unjustifiabe controls; drastic reduction in "sprawling bureaucracieS"; substantial cut in taxes sound currency; revitaliza ton of the American production machine; square deal for labor extermination of "the alien minded vermin who undermining the government" couragement of the free enterprise system; truth about the government; real investigation of the billions of public money "squandered during the war"
 Ulysses s. Grant could have that platform after the Civil War-and probably did-and so could the other beneficient, beWhiskered gentlemen who followed him leisurely in the 7os and Sos
 Not a word in there about the big problems that almost enguf today.
 "Our candidates this year are not running on issues of the past" concludes MT. Reece
 Then to be absolutely positive that he himself, has not let the slightest heresy pass his lips he phasizes as he winds up that our government is "a Party's business to maintain it. Some of us like to think are in the way of becoming democracy.

MIR. FARLEY'S CHOICE
(Hartford Courant)

James A. Farley evidently intends to keep his record as 8 Democrat straight come what may. He has announced that he will vote the party ticket in New York State, notwithstanding that the guberna- tOrial nominee is James M. Mead, whom he denounced in 1942 as one "who would make terrible Gov ernor." MT. Mead may have grown somewhat in esteem during his sen- atorial career in Washington, but if so MT. Farley has never taken cognizance of it. At the time he placed his low estimate on MT. Mead's qualifications for the Gov ernorship MT. Farley was support ing for that office the candidacy of John J. Bennett, Jr., and the rift in the Democratic Party had not a little to do with the fortunate cleo ton of the Republican nominee, Thomas E. Dewey.
 Most of us will agree with Disraeli that without party the functions of parliamentary government become impossible to discharge, 8 thought subsequently, expressed by President Garfield in the phrase, "All free governments are party govern ments." Party loyalty may there fore take on an element of virtue provided it is not carried to ex- tremes. But if everyone accepted and acted on MT. Farley's political philosophy the country would be more than ever plagued by offensive partisans and interruptions manip- ulators of party machinery.
 To MT. Farley's very great credit he has always striven to be con- structive force in behalf of political responsibility. He has been at all times man of his word, 8 vigorous champion of what he believed to be right, but when defeated accepting the situation with good grace. At present he is greatly disturbed by the alliance of his party with radi- cal groups, and he sounds a warning to the Democratic leadership against continuing to deal with Communists fellow-travelers." Un- less the leadership can rid itself of these elements he sees it's repudia- ton by the rank and file of the party.
 He notes with qualification that the labor movement is seeking to eliminate "those subversives who have fomented needless strikes and instigated that most insidious of all weapons, the showdown, which has retarded reconversion more than any other single factor" If those who have the true interests of labor at heart are thus engaged, how much more obligatory it is, argues MT. Farley, for the Democratic leadership to shake off those who are trying to use the party as a ve- hicle for their subyersiye purposes.

Lesson in Justice

The sad ironc fate of Bertram C. Campbell of New York should not the attention of the American bar indeed of all Americans in their role of potential witnesses and jurors.
 Mr. Campbell gained national attention last year through the confession of forger for whose crime Mr. Campbell had served than three years in plus lengthy period parole The Campbell conviction the outcome of overZeaous prosecution and the too willing inclination of welmeanng but eager witnesses to identify the first pect shown them
 The Campbell family needless say, suffered both from poverty and shame. Mr. Campbe's health affected by his term in prrson Eventually special legislation passed in New York state to permit him to something for false imprisonment and his loss of earnings The award amounted to $3342 and the state seemed to have made handsome amends for the miscarriage of justice.
 But Bertram Campbell lived only 82 days after this award made 82 days in which to enjoy comfort and vndcaon after nearly years the anguish and disgrace which were the lot of falsely imprisoned man.
 The lesson of this is obvious, is the lesson in other of miscarred justice It simply that the most patent guilt merits the full consideration of protective justice lest another such unhappy incident this take place.

TITO GETS HIS ANSWER
(NeW York Sum

(New York Sun)
 Complaints from Marshal Tito that his protests against alleged vio- lations of Yugoslav air have been ignored are fully removed by the detailed answer which the State Department has handed to his Charge d'AffaireS in Washington. If the answer was delayed, the text makes clear, it was only because Yugoslavia's charges were carefully checked. That country had alleged 270 violations of it's sovereignty by American aircraft between July 16 and August 29, most of them by bombers and fighters. The State De- partment says that check of all American military flights in Europe shows that fewer than fifty could conceivably have gone anywhere near Yugoslav territory; that in one per- iod 172 violations were alleged, only ten flights were even close to Yugo- slavia; that up to the time the Yugoslavs began using bullets, all but one of the flights in question were made by unarmed transports. Since the shooting, planes between Vienna and Udine have been turned back whenever there was, danger that bad weather might obscure the border.
 In these circumstances the State Department leans strongly toward the diplomatic side in suggesting that the violations Tito cites must have been "by planes other than United States planes" Of course there is an outside possibility that somebody anxious to stir up trouble has been sending lend-lease planes with Am erican insignia over the Yugoslav mountains. It seems more likely, however, that some of Tito'S fervent supporters, straining their eyes to see that their country's sovereignty is not violated, have mistaken soar ing birds for aircraft. Tito cannot complain that the time taken to in- vestigate has not yielded a specific answer. He also has assurance that reasonable precautions against vio- lations of his territory are being taken. When he makes separations for the damage his impulsive air. men have done, the case can be considered closed

Views of the Press

In the existing circumstances one can readily appreciate what tax on conscience it must be for MT. Farley to pledge his vote to the Democratic Party, and to accept without making wry face the man who would have made "a terrible Governor" only four years ago. We like to think of Sunny Jim" as one born for the universe and not nar- rowing his mind ito give up for party what was meant for man. kind"

The Firing Line By D. N. T.
ULTIMATE GARDEN NOTE

The rosy cheeks of autumn glow In high and happy health, As into much and burlap go The signs of summer wealth, The rose bush and the aster spent, The peony and such
 And all the bulbs that now are bent On Morpheus's clutch. Invigorating is the air This lovely time of year, As in the gardens everywhere The signs of fall appear, And robust men and raking wives, From city lawn to hill, Salute Salubriety that thrives Upon the autumn chill.
 I like to watch them and descry The vigor of their stride. = The frost is on the zinnia? Transplant myself inside.
