Wutth the new board

The new Chicago Board of Education has been in
power for two weeks now, and while it would be
mistake to feel that cear-cut victory has been won
the McCahey- johnson regime there are signs of
progress.
These indications lay primarily in the fact that the
board in its first two meetings. has shown real sensiti
witty to what the public thinks of its actions Witness for
example, the lowering of grade school lunch prices the
proposals for sessions open to the public the proposal
to vacant school buildings for veterans housing and
the discussion on raising teachers salaries.
The fact that six of the eleven board members are new
does not make the board simon pure AS Leo Lerner of
the Independent Voters of Illinois pointed out, several
of the members have suspicious ties with Board
Chairman McCahey and there is considerable element
of fraud in the way the appointments were handled
But the proof of the pudding is in the eating Men,
bers of the board will maintain their current responsive
ness to the needs of the school system only willie they
feel the hot breath of public demand their necks If
we want progressive school system in Chicago based
the needs of the students rather than contractors and
if we want board that contains eleven sincere and
qualified members rather than six three one
cannot permit the activities of the board sink once
more beyond the horizon of active public interest.

All Fuseism IS Criminal

AS final retribution for the convicted Nazi war crim
mails came into view this week. victims of fascsm waited
action against the high priests of murder throughout the
world.
Although may disagree with the acqutal of three
the fact remains that leaders of the most powerful
ment against humanity the world has ever seen have been
methodcay accused tried convnced and sentenced to
death - for the crime of fascism
For the fourth indictment against them - Grimes
against humanity - is the very definition of fascsm,
whether in the systematic murder of millions in Europe
the ynching of four Negroes in Georgia. the deace
ment of small synagogue in Chicago The difference
one of degree only.
This crime, like Others is not limited to Germans or
amy other peoples It exists everywhere There be no
excuses for delay in bringing swift retributon to the
criminals against humanity - everywhere.
And there can be no excuses for any individual who
shirks his part in the struggle against the crime of fas
csm, in the world or in his back yard

SABBATH, Link, Resa, Price and
Mrs. Douglas, must be return
ed with overwhelming major
tiles. Yet it is precisely these
more progressive and indie
pendent Democrats who face
the greatest danger of being
showed under.
Defeats suffered by these
congressional mcum b e n S
would not only weaken the
progressives in the next con-
gress, it would be viewed
everywhere as a defeat for
the PAC, WI, AFL and other
independent political group
ings. This would merely
strengthen the power and
prestige of the old party ma
chimes and weaken the move
ment for independent political
action, retarding the process
of political realignment after
November.
A Big REGISTRATION
and a big VOTE is the
peoples key to victory. Let
every first voter and service
men register on October 9Th
Let no one stay at home.
During the war against fas-
cism, Sergeant Joe Louis, had
occasion to remark that while
there was plenty wrong with
America, there was nothing
that Hitler could fix.
There is certainly plen-
ty wrong with the poll
cies and course of the
Truman Administration
ON both domestic and
foreign issues, but these
are nothing that BERTHE
Mccormick and his reac-
tionary Republicans can
fix.
Only the people can fix
them and a beginning to-
ward this end can be
made by turning out re-
dictionary rascaIs and
voting into office the
naest progressive of the
candidates ON the ballot.

How to cast an 'FDR vote

change the false course of the
Truman Administration. Yes,
it is time for a change. But
this change must not be in
the direction of the reaction
airy Republican Party. We
have gone too far in this di-
rection already. 1t must be
back towards the progressive
policies of FDR.
A Republican victory in
November would make the
80th congress even more re-
dictionary than the 18th. 1t
would not influence the Tru-
man Administration to return
to the progressive policies of
Roosevelt but instead press
upon it to go even further in
the direction of reactionary
Republican policies. 1t would
therefore not improve mat
tiers; only make them worse.
There is only one way
that progressives can
vote to help turn the
Truman Administration
and the country back to
the progressive, foreign
and domestic policies of
Roosevelt and that is by
decisively defeating the
most reactiOnary candi-
dates while guaranteeing
the election of the most r
progressive. This means
that in Illinois ALL Re-
publ can congressman
should be turned out and
. all Democratic congress-
ional candidates should
be supported.
While supporting all Demo-
cratic congressional candid
ates, it necessary. to guaran-
tee that the most progressive
and independent of the Demo-
cratic congressional candid
ates receive the greatest con-
centrated support from the
organized labor and progress
i've movements.

1T you have any doubts
about how to vote, or wheth-
er. to vote ON November 5th,
we recommend the following:
Look over the shoulder of
someone in the IL" who has
been foolish enough to buy
the Chicago Tribune.
Note the front page car
toon any issue will do -
and then ask yourself whet-
her you want the next con-
gress to be made up of men
and woman representing that
vicious, un-American and pro-
fascist point oe view.
And make no mistake.
Col. BERTHE Mccormick,
the owner and publisher
of this unspeakable news
paper, is the real boss Of
the Republican Party of
Illinois.
1t is worth knowing, too,
that the man who has been
described as Americas No. 1
Fascist, Gerald L. K. Smith,
has issued public endorse
ments for ten of Illinois Re-
publican congressional candi-
dates. Those who have been
so "honored" include Fred
Busbey, Bird District; Ralph
Church, 10th; Everett Dirk
sen, 18th; Calvin Johnson,
22nd; and c. w. Vursel, 23rd.
The outcome of the Novem-
Der 9Th election will be de-
termined in large measure by
the sizeable independent sec
ton of voters who are prog
ressives. But this decisive
block of voters are disheart-
ened by President Truman's
capitulation to the reaction
airy pressure of Big Business.
There is great danger that
many of these will be disgust
ed and just fail to vote.
We must change the politi-
cal composition of the next
congress. We must exert our
maximum strength to also
