worked overtime at 1t. going into a
night session for the first time in a
year. At one point in the proceed

irresponsible mob action, the men,

that new section be added to the
bill, reading, I'VE sympathize with
the American people" However, a
standing vote even denied the public
such hollow condolences.
OPA Partly to Blame.
Encouraged by the administra-
tion's willingness to compromise its
hold the line" policy, and the
fiasco in the House, a bloc OF SEN
ators comprising a fifth of that
awe-inspiring body has organized
itself to bring about the abolition
Of OPA. Others have been trying
to amend it to death as did the
House. For this state of affairs,
the OPA itself is at least partially
to blame. The OPA should have
steadfastly recognized that, just as
there is no such thing as a little"

Even so, the bulges are not as

mand return to a free competi-

is the only sure way to regain full
productive capacity and prosperity
in the Nation. They argue that the
law OF supply and demand would
automatically control our economic
destiny. This is pure hokum out
Of some antediluyian professor
textbook. There is no supply, now.
There is only demand. Statesmen
have become order takers. Having
nothing to sell, they solicit orders
for what they hope to have.

politicians, with almost complete
unanimity, went overheard for the
open the books" demand. Henry
Wallace and his radical friends
made a terrific uproar about it and
the left-wing journalists devoted
column after column to its advocacy
President Truman himself said the
demand was one that should be
needed. And now the men who
made the demand, in effect, confess
it was a joke, a gag, counterfeit
a fraud. Certainly Mr.. Reuther has
left his supporters looking foolish
Certainly he has forfeited any claim
he might have had for respect. Nor
has he done either the leaders OF
labor generally or the cause of labor
as whole any good.
However, the national health NAV

Peraps he has not realized 1t

to hae befallen Mr.. Reuther, who
led'th UAW in its long and costly
strike against General Motors. Ger
tainly, that is indicated by the re-
ceptio of his most recent pro-
nouncments. 1t is indicated, too, by
the gaeral pleasure in seeing his
onion rivals, who are no better

Knew Issue Unsound.
It Is also indicated by the edi-
torial omment concerning his ad-
mission that the union issue of
"abilit, to pay" which he and his
friends 50 solemnly and insistently
advanced, was phony issue and
that teir demand that the COM
pany open its books" was sheer
propaganda put forth solely with
the ide Of smearing the other side.
In Al outburst of candor, after
the strke was over and the battle
for tn union presidency on, Mr.
Reuthe and his rival, Mr.. Thomas,

the isse to be unsound; that they
knew f the principle were gen.

would result in decreased rather

knew ne open the books" slogan

mater of uncontestable record

In the lack of competition, uncon-

OPA as price control; they stig.

cleverness has earned them little

for continuing price control. People

Nor can the Congress afford to
