SINCE BILBO HAS publicly

admitted that he is a member OF
the Ku Klux Khan, the question
in mind now, is, Who has been
disgraced? The United States
Senate, or the Ku klux Khan? 1t
will have ia be admitted that it
was no news that Bilbo didn't
represent any symbol of decency,
but it is news that the Khan
really accepted him as a member,
The Khan is no doubt like most
American organizations, will

BY A. M. JUDGE

ALL is WELL that ends well.
Negro has voted in the pri-
maries in Arkansas, and as far
as we know, nobody is any the
worse off. Unless it is the candi-
date who was so set on winning,
One significant aspect of the cam
naien that cannot be overlooked
is that, the candidates who elect
ed to bring the Negro in as an
issue. failed to be elected.

Watkins; ZOth Century Fund
'GT's a book about cartels.
Es, another one. It's getting
to the place where we can
fairly say that the road to
monopoly is paved with books
on the subject. Every few
weeks, another book comes out
that tells how American big
business monopolies are draw
ing tighter and tighter the
ropes about the legs and arms
of American business. Pretty
soon, that rope will reach the
throat of American business,
and then the whole game OF de-
mocracy will be over.
"A lot of these books are very
good. This one is, too. The
stories it tells are well and care
fully told. The facts and the
fTpres to illustrate them are all
there. There's an index in the
back to help you find the dope
YOU want on each of the SUBJ
jects. The case against mon
opolies is proved right up to the
last charge and period.
What To Do?
And when you get all through
reading it you say to yourself,
"Now what? What do we do,
what else can we possibly say
that will make any differences"
When read the introduction
to the book I got the feeling that
the two men who wrote it felt
the same way. Frustrated, and
a little hysterical.
These are not labor people
writing. The 20th Century
Fund that put out the book is
not a labor organization. But
the whole bunch evidently feel
- same way about monopolies
NJ a lot of labor people feel
after going into the subject and
seeing where business practices
are taking us.
If you don't believe that these
men felt at least little hys-
terical after finishing their study
take a look at pages IL and 13,
right in the first chapter. Never
before have l seen anyone come
so close to calling business men
liars, and yet not quite do 1t.
The authors say, just as I'm
sure you have said in your own
speeches, that what business
men say is not what business
men do; that if business men
believe in free enterprise, you
can't tell it from the way they
AIT; that this stuff about the
Consumer having anything to
40 is a lot of bunk; and that
yeIs advertising people are busy
Kidding both business and us
into thinking that enterprise is
still free.
Truths" They Say
And that's only one para
graph. In another, the writer's
say that free enterprise is some
thing to talk about, but it's no
longer a way of life in the busi-
ness world; that the truths"
business men profess to believe
In and the truths they really
live by are no longer the same
thing at all. This, the authors
say, sis one of the most signifi-
cant. and disturbing, revelations
of this survey"

"it is way of actually helping to

eloquently as you wish to say 1t that

In response to many requests for
a central point from which to dis

have called on banks, utility COM

place blank Chest pledge cards

33 Unions Ask Broadening
OF JobIess Insurance
by the Associotsd Press

Research directors of 80 AFL and
CIO unions said yesterday that un-
employment insurance helped sta
bilize the Nations economy during
the reconversion era and the pro-
gram should be broadened.
Their statement said the system
had met its first major test as
social insurance program" because
workers in the conversion from war
to peacetime production were en-
abled by receipt of the jobless bene-
fits to search for jobs that would
utilize their highest skills."
There are many inadequacies In
the present program" the statement
said. 1--WE urge improvements in
Federal and State legislation tc
make the benefits more adequate
widen the coverage, extend the du-
ration, and remove restrictive dis.
qualification provisions"
I'VE deny the criticism that un-
employment insurance kept worker.

for benefits went from war wori

Heavy Fog in California
Curbs All TRANSPORTATION
BY The Asseciosed Press

LOS ANGELES, Dec. l4.-Soupy
fog swirled over Southern California
today, cumming the gears Of all
types of land and air Transports
tion and tieing up shipping In
harbors.
Two persons were killed and three
were injured seriously when two
automobiles collided headon in the
fog near Camp Pendleton, Calf
Hundreds Of accidents were reported
in the Los Angeles area, but injuries
were minor as drivers reduced speed
to a minimum
Visibility in many lower land sec
tions was reported officially as zero,
although the fog lifted slightly In
downtown Los Angeles during the
afternoon.
Trains crept into the city, and
buses and trucks, forced to try to
maintain schedules, nudged each
other at 8 to 10 m.p.h. speeds.
The Matson liner Matsonia,
scheduled to depart for Hawaii after
spending three hours inching its
way to the dock here, remained fog
bound, as did other commercial YES
sells.
Police and sheriff's stations were
swamped with calls reporting acci-

of the season here.

process will have reached only the
point of breaking up, when the bay
would be filled with great masses
of grinding ice, which would make
1t too dangerous to enter. A third
possibility is that the process has
slowed up slightly so that there still
will be q narrow opening.
The two ice shelves have been
building up since 1900. One has
moved steadily westward, the other
northward with Roosevelt Island,
OF which lies Little America, be-
tween them. The bay has con-
Stantly been narrowing.
The prospect, as one geologist de-
scribed 1t, Is of about 800 square
miles of the earth's surface float
ing northward through the. Ross
Sea, eventually to pass into the
Humboldt Current of the Pacific
and disappear after several years.
Bay of Whales is the one good
port In Antartica where ships can
60 close to the land and remain in
calm water. Its loss would almost
close the continent. 1t never will
permanently disappear, however,
because the same titanic phenon1-
enon will repeat itself every half
century due to the pressure Of
about 1000 square miles of ice
pressing the shelves outward.
