Extremists on Riqhf,

Gov. ArnaII Declares
BY the Associated Press

NEW ORLEANS, Nov. 30.-Gov.
Ellis Arnall of Georgia declared to-
night that he considered "the dam
ger of fascism more immediate and
serious in the United States than
the danger of communism.
In a speech delivered at a meeting
of the Southern Conference for HUI
man Welfare to present him with
the organizations Thomas Jeffer-
son Award, Gov. Arnall said, THE
American menace comes from the
extreme right, where men of Ill will
are deliberately using the lunatic
fringe to create condition favor
able to the establishment of totali-
tartan state"
He said he knew that "such or
ganizations as the Columbian" and
such publications as "sliny little ra-
cial and class sheets" cost more to
support than "the riffraff that front
for these groups can raise from de-
luded and neurotic followers. !"

The banquet Americans know to-

When Joe Neanderthal really
wanted to punish an enemy he
would sit him down at a banquet

No one has ever yet officially
determined which is worse-ban-
quet food or banquet speeches. 1t

king cobra or a whack across the

Government Seizure
Of Farm Equipment
Plants Is Expected
BY the Assoeiosed Press

Labor Department officials said
today Government seizure of strike
bound farm equipment plants and
idle California canneries is increas-
ingly probable.
Both have an important bearing
on the Nations food supply.
The California canneries process
about third of the country's
canned fruits and vegetables. And
farmers badly need new machinery
to meet record crop production goals
set by the Government in an effort
to avert starvation abroad.
The Labor Department officials,
who prefer to remain anonymous,
said both situations will be placed
before Secretary of Labor Schellen-
bach when he returns from a West
Coast trip, either today or tomor-
row.
Mr.. SchWellenbach is known to
frown on seizure action, but his con-
ciliators told reporters they have
abandoned hope of settling the
cannery dispute, a jurisdictional
squabble between rival AFL and
CIO unions.
Sees "Grave Emergency"
Secretary Schwellenbach and Sec
retary of Agriculture Anderson

Germs to meeting here tomorrow.

Caterer From Alaska.
Speaking of rolls and veal outlets,
where do those that are served at
banquets come from? The same
goes for the lamb chops, the green
peas and the mashed potatoes
Banquet food certainly is not cooked
on the premises. There must be a
caterer, just north Of Fairbanks
Alaska, who prepares food for ban
quets, else how in the world does the
food reach the table so cold that 1t
is covered with light frost? The
faces of the green peas are wrinkled
from exposure, the meat looks ap-
pealingly around in search of a
kindly st. Bernard, and the mashed
potatoes stand frozen in their tracks.
There are other banquet hard
ships, too. They always start late
and end the same way. No one just
stands up to introduce some one and
lets it 60 at that. Put man on his
feet at banquet and he is going to
say something or bust.
When Mr.. Truman campaigns, his
board of strategy should see to it
that the country is reminded of his
stand against banquets. Heavens,
