CAPITAL CHAFF

British Labor members who've been attacking the Bevin anti-Rus- sian Foreign Policy have sent a message to former Secretary of Commerce Henry Wallace. The British message will be released this week. AF of Us Bill Green will veto a CIO invitation to work to- gether in fighting anti-labor legis- lation in the new Republican Con- gress. Green says that the AT of L would rather fight alone. Re tiring Senator James Mead of New York now has the inside track for the chairmanship of the Democrat ic National Committee. No final de- cision has been made Diehard Senator Bob Taft and other Repub- lican candidates for the presidential nomination may change their tune on revision of New Deal labor legis- lation. Any drastic revision of the labor act will cost them votes if they run in 1948.

The Issue-Reduced to Simplest Terms
(New York Sum


 Popular hysteria aside, it is probable that this old globe Of ours will keep spinning along under the sun, regardless of whether John L. Lewis shall go to jail for
 thousand years for contempt of shall suffer no graver inconvenience than tap on the shoulder from a deputy United States Marshal If John l. Lewis should go to the jug for few days it would be nothing more than has been coming to him from time to time since the Herrin, Illinois massacre, of malodorous memory Since this newspaper doesn't like him, and never did frankly admit that nothir- would please us better than be able send office boy to the jail with thin ham sandwich, thermos bottle containing tepd coffee a fairly clean shirt, comb and packet of aspirin tablets, all for his exclusive use But spite of this instnctve feeling we are obliged to say thus publicly that of all labor leaders since Samuel Gompers we esteem Lewis as the braniest and most successful He has arrived at his present status through grit gumption and that quality of forttude which proprety forbids us to mention in it's best symboca four-letter form The only reason why we could hate to him behind bars is that we think that such incarceration would far better become certain spineless ones who have kowtowed so abjectly to him in the post
 In any lesser man the bunk upon which he has precipated the present strike in the soft-coal fields would be regarded bunk, and nothing more What may have been their status in an unhappy past, miners of bitumnous coal are today among labors better paid workers Tiptop pece-work miners in single field are able to anywhere from S5522o to s487 twentyfour working days. Others have drawn as little S42408 each for thirty week. but practically every of these could have made more money if he had been willing to work little harder CT for few more hours. Editorial Research Reports which anything but hostile organized labor asserts that other group of workers in America has made a greater advance in rates since 1883 than the one representing miners Of bitumnous coal,
 But the plight of the individual miner is not primary issue. The primary issue may be summed up in single interogatory Who is the bigger, John L. Lewis Uncle Sam? The government at Wash ngton has asked of Lewis and his miners than that they agree to an extension of forty days in present governmental operation of the mines during which miners and owners may get together all the issues that keeping them apart.
 If this request is unreasonable, then all requests behalf of governmental intervention in labor dis putes be ruled unreasonable. If organized labcr is in any doubt where American public opinion stands this crisis is deoeving itself cruelty and fatally.

CONNALLY ACTS ALONE

When all this came up for debate, the Unitel States was represented by Senator Connally and legal ad- wiser Charles Fahy. The rest of the U. s. delegation was at diplomatic dinner given by Jimmy Byrnes at the Waldorf. Molotov was invited to this dinner, but perhaps knowing Connally would be alone and un- supported on the floor Of the Unit cd Nations. he skipped the dinner and decided to tackle Texas Tom.
 Britain was represented by eager beaver Sir Hartley Shawcross, noted more for oratory than diplomacy, who lit a fire under MolotOv by proposing a system of international inspection which would penetrate the iron curtain and eliminate the veto.
 We are quite wiling" Shawcross said. ito allow Russian agents to come to England, to go to our bas- $, to verify our figures the moment Russia agrees to the same arrange ment for a verilication com mittee to go into their country and verify the information that has been given them. What could be fairer than that?"
 But, replied Molotov, we have submitted such a proposal long ago"
 Molotov then said that if Britain accepted @ proposal that all coun- tries disclose armaments as well a! troops. he would support it. Thi' was the bait that trapped Shaw cross. Springing to his feet, Shaw crcss rushed to the microphone anc said
 T am prepared to meet MT. Mol. otovs challenge

SPAAK GETS EXCITED

While Connally sat in his chair, Belgian LIN. Assembly President, Paul Spaak, finally reached for the burning chestnuts
 DO you gentlemen realize what we are going to do now?" he asked excitedly.
 Spaak pointed out that if the Council voted for the Molotov- ShawcrCss proposal, all govern mems would have to furnish all the information on arms and troops in a matter of days-by Jan. l. How ever, Shawcross, afire with his owil words, rushed forward.
 T am very glad that I am able 10 say it"-he continued, that the Soviet Union is in. agreement in principle with my proposal I am in agreement in principle with their proposal. We will get the whole thing together tomorrow and put t before the assembly, and, I hope, adopt it unanimously And so to- night will, after all, still remain a rather historic night
 What Shawcross didn't know was that he had set off a diplomatic atomic bomb all his own. Barney Baruch, who has flatly refused to budge an inch on his own atomic bomb ideas, hit the ceiling. When he heard what had happened, he demanded that Jimmy Byrnes tor pedo the Anglo-Russian agreement Later Shawcross received a dres- sing-down from Ernest Bevin and wound up with the nickname, "Sil Hartley Double-cross."
 Next day Baruch's Wall Street advisers, Ferdie Eberstadt and John Hancock, drafted an amendment tc the Shawcross-M -Molotov agreement which Connally was forced to in- troduce It read: Nothing herein l contained shall alter or limit the resolution of the General Assembly

 There will be a reception follow ing the ceremony at the Burford residence, 969 Gold Belt Avenue, beginning at 9:3O o'clock. No writ ten invitations have been issued, but all friends of the couple are in- vited to the wedding and to the re- ception.

in it's possession. Thus, the United Nations, including Russia, would have cur most cherished secret.
 T think this is going to be very historic occasion" said Sir Hartley, still oblivious to what he had proposed, and I am very glad and proud to take part in it, for l think we are now going to secure agreement on the establishment of a real international commission for the supervision and inspection of lhe armed forces and armaments Of every power.
 This should have been Connally's cue to stall Instead, he remained in his chair Hurriedly, U, s. aides attempted to reach Secretary By,nes by phone. Oddly enough, it was the French delegate, M. De- jean, who came to the rescue by asking fo time Molotoy, however, plowed et-aight ahead.
 T lilink I can take it that Sir Hartley Shawcross adopted the amendment I moved" Molotov de- clared, and I urge the General Assembly to approve this proposal"
 By this time members of the Bri- tish delegation were trying to flag down Shawcross. Molotov h a d agreed to lift the iron curtain, per init free inspection and abandon the veto. However, the anglo-Amer- ican blueprint was not prepared for this. It was a tight spot.

 After sitting idle for three months durlhg the recently ended maritime strike now the oppoSHls unions have decided take up their own light as to which shall work the winches and hatches on the vessels thus threatening another tieup.
 Let's hope the dispute doesn't spread to other Alaska ports but that can be expected.

Connally was representing the United States during the General Assembly debate on large standing armies during which Russia had proposed that all o"1.atries diS~lose he size -l their q clies of occupa- tor ;; aon-ene.ny counties.
 T.as, of course. was an attempt to expose alleged British and Am erican imperialism, and the Ameri- can delegation shot back with proposal that the size of all armies be disclosed regardless of where stationed. This, in turn, was an at tempt to smoke out the size of the Red Army not only at home, but in Germany. Austria, Hungary, and the Balkans.

MOLOTOV IS DELIGHTED

ShaWcross then proposed estab- lishment of an international inspec
 tion organization free of the veto to which all armaments and troop information would be reported. This delighted Molotov. Senator Connal- Iy apparently wasn't following the debate, and Shawcross didn't real ize the full implications. For what he proposed meant that the United States would have to give a detail ed accounting of every atomic bomb

keep in mind, even though it is ter
rible. The world must make sure
that atomic power is used in the
right way. If it is let loose to de-
stroy our race may be ended in a
century or less.
Believing in the human race, as I
do, ! expect that we shall give the
needed attention to this problem.
Surely we shall work to keep any
one from handling atomic power in
a way which could take the lives Of
all people in all nations.
The New Year which Is greeting
us now may see real steps taken to
guard us against the wrong use of
atomic power. That would be the
greatest gift possible in 1916. If We
watch our safety carefully, we may
enjoy the blessings of atomic power
in due time.
