And this is said in all seriousness
If some of our Army officers are
getting too big for their polished
boots it would be useful to have q
sarcastic Senator cut them down te
size. If, on the other hand, some
of our Senators are congenital
clowns, 1t would be useful to have
the Germans and Austrians know
that. They would find it encourag-
ing. 1t would enable them to grasp
the general idea of democracy better
and lead them to believe that even
they could operate a system like
ours. Which is surely what we want
them to believe.
For another aspect Of the matter,
our venture in government of an oc-
cupied country Is an important ven-
ture. Our past experience is limited
to the Philippines and few Carib-
bean countries and we are capable OF
making mistakes. If we are making

1910 counties of the nation, the an
nual Embarrassing appeal is sup
ported by men, women and children
of all races and faiths.
This will be the thirteenth yearly
appeal for funds in the war against
infantile paralysis. Negroes in ma
jor cities are volunteering their
service in this intensive and neces-
sary campaign for funds to aid
poliomyelitis victims, regardless of
age, race, creed, or color. OrganiZa-
tions with which they are actively
affiliated have endorsed the Ma

alton tat polio hall be conquered.
They will address their contribu-
lions to their home town chapters.

Wa|kout Threatens To Para|yze Phone Lines Today

NEW YORK, Jan. 9.-Ten to Is
locals of the communication equip
ment workers throughout the nation
voted tonight to go out on strike to-
marrow at II a. m. (EST) in a move
which threatens to tie up the ma
tion's telephone system, Ernest
Weaver, union president, said.
Weaver said the unions voting to
strike at II o'clock did not include
the New York city local, which, how
ever, might go out later in the
day."
The strike move came after wage
negotiations tonight with the West
ern Electric company failed. The
Independent unions 5000 members
are telephone installation workers.
Weaver listed six of the 10 locals
as those with headquarters in Chi
cago, San Francisco, ST. Louis,
Cleveland, Detroit and Minneapolis.
He declined to name the other four.
Other telephone unions, including
the 263, ,O00-member National Fed

said they would not cross any picket

COP Purge Due

WASHINGTON, Dec. le-=(NEAl-Republican Ma tiOnal Committee Chairman B. Carroll Reece has taken 8 great big roundhouse swing at some of the Republicans appointed to fat federal jobs by Pres dent Franklin D. Roosevelt Speaking before the com mittee its recent Washington meeting, Reece gave President Truman a nice broad hint to appoint some real 100 percent Republicans to Government agencies as vacancies occur.
 The COP. chairman mentioned specifically the Federal Trade Commission Interstate Commerce Commission and Federal Communications Commis- sion But what he said applies also to the Maritime Commission, National Labor Relations Board, Na- tional Mediation Board. Securities and Exchange Commission, Tariff Commission, Federal Power Com mission. Civil Service Commission. Civil Aeronautics Board and maybe few others.
 Reece has two points First, he says that these agencies perform semlegisative functions in making rules and regulations for the execution of acts of Congress and that when there is Republican major ity in Congress there should be Republican majori ties on these commissions.
 Secondly Reece points out that lot of the Re- puhcans appointed to these jobs in the last IA years
 nave not been in actual fact real representatives of the minority viewpoint though they technically qualified for such positions" In short, anyone who coilaborated with the Democrats suspect and may be purged. at least will have to prove his party regularity.

 EGG is a seven-man commission; the members terms running for seven yeats, on most of these agencies. FCC has one vacancy, no one having been named to succeed James Lawrence Fly resigned So the heat is on here to appoint real Republican for the term ending June 30 l049.
