Reuther-Dubinsky faction-granting
that Lewis does assert himself in
AFL when his coal strike is over
and other amusements to occupy his

The inner lineup Of union poll
tics is such, therefore, that a ,
split in CLIO is likely, and half
of it or more may eventually go
to AFL, but certainly not the
communist part, and possibly
not the socialist wingers.
Also not the Hillman part. Here
the split runs wider and deeper.

HUNTER COLLEGE, TIL E
BRONX, N. Y. - These notes are
being jotted down in the basement
of a room that once sounded to the
dull staccato-thud of rubber-soled
gym shoes as the girls came trip
ping downstairs from the floor
above to scamper into the show
ers, pull on their bobby socks and
other strange accoutrements which
distinguish the modern female col
legiate.
Is the United Nations really 60
ing to get anywhere?
First, let me admit that as l
write we are walking tight-rope
stretched between two crises, either
of which might wreck us or might
be forgotten by the time these lines
reach the printed page.
And, of course, the rock upon
which the United Nations may
founder is the veto. Most people
don't understand the veto. Briefly,
it is the right Of any of the Big
Powers, the permanent members of
the executive council, to say mo"
to the discussion of any matter
which said power doesn't want
raised.
PouUer Politics
Still in Force
In other words ''power politics" is
still in force and the only advance
we have made is that compromise,
which is the basis of all democratic
action-is the only possible solution
of controversial questions. The un-
democratic alternative is the use of
power, which in this case may be
exercised without the will of the
majority. The right of the veto is,
as was brought out in recent
University of Chicago round-table
discussion, really the insistence on
the expression of national sovereign
ty; the sovereign right of nation,
if it gets mad enough, to promul-
gate the organized savagery of war.
We can, it is true, never hope
for any permanent peace until we
are willing to yield that sovereignty
to a higher authority which ex-
presses the will of the majority of
all peoples.
The United Nations at present has
not been granted that authority.
But there is hope which ! have
watched grow as International pro-
ceedings move forward under the
impetus Of a will to peace and the
implementation Of ever growing
publicity which creates the under
standing to bolster that WILT is
this: as the United Nations con-
tinues to discuss those matters

RAILROAD PAY:
Seek More

Despite an arbitration boards re-
cent award of 16 cents an hour to
l,050,00O incorporating employees,
the railroad industry was headed for
another labor crisis with 15 unions
petitioning for an additional IA cents
an hour boost. Incorporating en-
ployees include telegraphers, clerks,
machinists, boilermakers, electri-
clans and maintenance workers.
In asking for an extra IA cents
to bring overall increases to 30
cents an hour, the unions charged
that the recent award only equaled
wartime grants given to employees
in other industries and an extra
boost would have to be given to
compensate for general postwar
raises Of 1874 cents an hour.
Ask Freight Hike
Even as the incorporating unions
asked for an additional 14-cent-an-
hour wage raise, the nations car
riers sought a Is per cent increase
in freight rates, with certain excep-
tions, to cover higher operating and
labor costs. At the same time, the
railroads requested continuation of
the wartime passenger fare boost
of 10 per cent.
Despite increased annual ex-
penses of almost 2 billion dollars
and sharp slump in postwar traf-
fic, present rates are at the prewar
level, the carriers pointed out. OF
the mounting costs, billion, 355
million dollars represent wartime
pay raises, and half billion dol
lars increases in prices of materials
and supplies.
Exclusive of any wage awards
to the three operating brotherhoods,
the recent 16-cent-an-hour grant
given to II other railroad unions
will add 619 million dollars to this
years operating costs, the carriers
said. w -s -.-. ...-

Litchfield county which they can not afford to ignore"
 T wish here and now to tell you, and I charge" said Palomba, that the convention which nominated my opponent violated the rights Of the returning veteran when that convention selected Harry Morse as it's nominee and when it ignored the claim of a man who left the office of sherif to enter the service of his country. The theory that 8 returning veteran is entitled to re- turn to his old job after having served in the defense of his nation has been established by Congress as Q requirement. of private busi- ness, and it has been accepted by private business as fair treatment of the veteran upon his return home. The fact that political or ganizatiois do not legally face this requirement. does not relieve them Of the same moral obligation. The action of this Republican county convention in refusing to recognize it's moral obligation to a returned veteran is . direct challenge to the returned serHcefnen of Litchfleld county which they cannot afford to ignore.
 T do not believe" continued Pa losnba, that the Republicans of Litchfield county like this type of politics. Many of them have al- ready told me they do not Know ing the veterans, I am sure they do not like 1t, either. These n1a- chine made deals of the Republican high command are creating a casualty list which in our immedi- ate vicinity already includes the names of Talbot of Naugatuck, Olson of Oxford, and on which list the name of Novey of Torrington certainly ranks high.
 Expects To Win

Jail Vote
 Due Again

The U. $. Government now wants a larger portion of the city hall lot for a jail, and as result another special election must be held in December so the deed can be conveyed Tn time for con- struction to begin in February.
 A special Kaetlng of the coun- ell was held Wednesday to pass an ordinance providing for the gift of a 100 by 78.5 it. section of the lot, now being asked for. In August Kodiak voters ratified by a vote of 86 to 5 the dona- tion of a lot AZ by 100, but re- vised plans and need of parking space has now prompted the re- quest for the new, larger portion.
 In the hope the special cleo, tion could be averted Mayor Lee Bettinger contacted the author ities in Washington, asking If the question could be voted on in April at the regular eection. They replied that they expect to be ready for construction in February, and the law requires that the deed be conveyed before the cons ruetion begins. (Elec- ton Notice op page 9.)
