ROYAL MAY PASS
ON COURT CHANGE
Visitor Thinks Enlisted Men
Serving On Trials Might
Be Good Idea

Undersecretary of war Kenneth
Z. Royal reiterated here yesterday
that in his opinion it might be a
good idea for enlisted men to
serve on courts-martial.
The War department, he said in
a statement, will act promptly on
recommendations of a committee
OF attorneys representing the
American Bar association. The
committee was appointed at his
instance and will report to him at
the conclusion of it's hearings
throughout the country.
Royal said that if it appeared to
the committee that enlisted men
wanted to serve on courts-martial
and that the public believed it
would be a practical improvement

WASHINGTON, Sept. g.
(UP)-More than 5000 U. S.
merchant ships lay idle in the
nations ports Sunday night
as government officials offer
cred slight hope for an early
end of the paralyzing AFL
m t i m e strike and it's
mounting threat to the ma

AS the four-day-old work stop
page reduced shipping to a trickle
its effects began to be felt among
industries which depend upon sea
borne cargoes for continued opera
ton.
Shipping men said a major dis
aster' was in the offing.
Officiars here put all their hope
on San Francisco conferences be-
tween Assistant Secretary OF
Labor Phillip Hannah and Harry
L%undeberg, secretary of the Sail
or's Union of the Pacific (AFL).
Hannah, who met with the union
leader again Sunday, said Lund-
eberg had taken under advise
ment' government proposals for
ending the strike but there was
no indication that Lundeberg's
final decision would be.
Although less than so, 900 men be-

COP. Liberalism-A Hybrid

We can't help but feel that Kenneth Bradley national COP committeeman from Connecticut stretched hs magl- nation when he recently referred to Governor Raymond F. Baldwin well known progressive, liberal Republican,
 Now Governor Baldwin may personally be progressive and liberal but you just can't hitch the word Republican along with those two and expect to get matched team we note also that Westporthe land of progressive liberalism backed by westocked bank accountsthat Mr. Bradley uttered such statement We just can't imagine him calling Republican Liberal and progressive up Tn Goshen in Bozrah let Why just every day we hear Republican cohorts of Mr. Bradley who eer at the words lbera" and progressive because they con- mony identified with the Democratic Party.
 Mo- Mr. Bradley has got to do better than that. You can't show horse in the jumping class in area of the state and then present him as steady dependable work horse in another area Governor Baldwin is either Re publican of the type of the late Wendell Wlke liberal progressive willing meet the demands of this changing world else he is just another Tom Dewey whose assoca ton with the liberals is of expediency only that can the original hard veneer of cooress con- servatism.

A Thought For Today

Twenty veterans will receive diplomas at ton1ghts Wilby High School graduation

 That's all the bright side and points up the fact that war is indeed the handmaiden of education these days.
 There's darker side to the picture however, one which deserves and getting the conscientious attention ot ors at the college level all over the country Despite the efforts of colleges everywhere to renish their cassrooms with elastic walls and enlarge their classes to the point where individual instruction will become mpossiblity it now looks as though than 500O0 youngsters qualified for admission college this Fall won't be able to gain accept 
 That's the problem which faces the colleges, but they can't furnish the souton for physical if no other For example Bowdoin College down in Maine, handles a normal enrolment of $50 students This Fall the student body will include 90O with hundreds turned away.

Third Party Money

WASHINGTON, June 19-(NEA)-The coyness of Henry Wallace about taking off leader of third party could well be prompted by lot more than mere loyalty to the Democratic machine which made him what he is today For the all-important question facing any political movement is what it will use for money.
 Tn 1044 the Democratic National Committee spent just $2OOOOOO to re-elect Roosevelt for fourth term The Republicans spent $28OOOO0 to go down in defeat with Dewey. Mind you, this is only what the national committees spent.
 Rhode Island Senator Theodore Francis Greens Special Committee to Investigate Presidential, Vice. Presidential and Senatorial Campaigns came up with
 $20000O00 total for those contests $70O0000 of it spent by the Democrats and $i30O000 by the Repub- 1icans. These totals don't include the incalculabe sums spent on Congressional, state, local and all primary contests, either It would take national debt adding machine to record that grand total.
 The Hatch clean politics law Is supposed to limit the amount of money national political organza- ton can collect and spend in any campaign The ceiling is $3 O0OOOO with s 900 limit money com ing from any one source.
 Where would third party get money like that to put over Henry Wallace, Claude Pepper. or any, body else? The seed corn business isn't that good. even if Wallace was willin.
 It is generally conceded that the backbone, also the blood and gtblets, of third-party movement est element of political leadership in labor Is the CLOS Political Action Committee Yet 1t speaks for considerably less than half of the union strength.
 There have been many wild guesses as to PAC. finances Most of the comment has been bunk. Be- cause the C1O unions have total membership of between five and six million and because FAC has put on campaigns to collect dollar from each msm-

representatives who will serve all of the people.
 However, there is even better way for the people to deal with big business than by depending entirely on government.
 Marquis Childs' book Sweden, The Middle Way" showed how the Swedes effectively handled this problem. The people in that Scan dinavian nation escaped the domin- ation of both big business and big government through consumer CO., operation.
 The people went into business for themselves. They built up their CO., operative enterprises to such a point that they broke the grip of 8 giant electrical goods monopoly.
 The farmers in mid-western U. s. did the same thing in battle with powerful oil interests. Millions of American farm families have elec- tricity today because of their par ticipation in consumer co-operatives under the Rural Electrification Ad- ministration.
 What are consumer co-0pera- tives? They are enterprises where people organize as consumers to serve themselves. Co-operators are in business for themselves, on a democratic basis, not primarily to make money, but chiefly to serve themselves with the highest quality goods at the lowest possible price.
 When they do this, successfully and millions have done 1t, they naturally keep prices down and quail ity up. In addition to establishing price and quality yardsticks, they learn to solve business and con- sumer problems without running to the government for help. And if there is anything, We need today 1t is to stop depending on government to solve all problems. The democratic way is to solve them ourselves. But solve them we must; and we must do so in an intelligent, cooperative manner.

 Inside fact is that union leaders had agreed there would be no strike before the negotiations got under way. But Harry Bridges and other leftist leaders reneged on this agreement and up to the very last were demanding walkout.
 Inside fact also is that there is still a deep c,eet in maritime labor between factions led by Brires on the one hand and Joe Curran, president of The National Maritime Union, on the other tesuite inc joint statement of solidarity just signed by Bridges and Curran

 If you succeed in staging strike I'll disown you publicly Harry Bridges" Murray warned "and I'll do my best to throw you out of the CLO"
 
 This argument occurred the night before the strike settled. Another blow-up followed after Murray left the conference between Joe Curran and V. J.

 Then, turning to Bridges Malone asked the West Coast leader, would you like to have some Bridges?n
 "The next guy that talks about breaking off ne- gotiations' he announced, twill get the same thing"
 Malone finally was placated by Curran, and the meeting adjourned
