The Waterbury Democrat., 1946-05-24

And if you as Attorney General, don't feel you have enough legislation to support you n sucn prosecution you should ask Congress for 1t.
 For if you or someone in the Administration does not act first to meet this situation hog-wd Con- gress will pass haywire labor law which won't wOrK and which will wipe out all the hard-won gains oi other labor groups which don't deserve to ne penal ized because of John L. Lewis or certain rail labor leaders.
 The American public is fast coming to the con clusion that our modern economy is too intricate and interwoven to have any monopoly, whether it be miners, rail workers or telephone operators, tie up the entire country; any more than they were willing to have Standard Oil of New Jersey conspire with Germany keep synthetic rubber patents from the American people
 That pre-war conspiracy set the nation hack in it's manufacture of rubber tires for three years And the public has been grateful to Thurman Arnold and the Justice Departments Antitrust Division Tor exposing it.
 Likewise the current wave of monopoly strikes is setting back postwar reconversion and heading toward disastrous imitation The country will be equally grateful if you check labor monopoly, at the same time protecting the great mass of American labor which has not abused its privileges. ftG
 Hoping you will forgive these curbStone opinions from one whose only legal knowledge is the law of llbel am,
 Sincerely yours,
 DREW PEARSON.
 President Truman will postpone naming new thief Justice until after the s0day period of mourn ing for Chief Justice Stone. One carload of food was recently loaded at Sprngdale the Main Street of Arkansas and donated to the starving Main Streets of the world. The American distilling industry is donating 50OO0OOO pounds of grain to UNR.R.A. instead of using it for beer and whisky. T! The world may be short of wheat but the American potato crop this year will be of the biggest in history "Spuds instead of bread" will be the motto for patr otc American housewives. It. Gen. Edmund T. Gregory, head of the War Assets Corporation, has sent his resignation to the White House. The head ache of selling surplus property to veterans was too painful Fiorelo LAGuardia is hopping mad over the fact that UNR.RA. needs 8O0,OOO tons of fats and oils but it aocated only 5000 tons for the first six months. Meanwhile we are shipping fats to Fascist Spain 1&
 Representative John Dingen of DetrOity staunch Administration Democrat, was welcomed into the Republican party during the Senate debate on the Case Anti-Labor Bill Dingel was enormously called Republican by Senator Claude Pepper, Florida Den1- ocrat, and 1t might have passed unnoticed had not Pepper himself realized his error
 While many members of Congress bear the name Republican with honor and distinction such as my friends on the other side who are now pres ent" Pepper told the Senate Representative Dingell being a good Democrat might not like the designa- ion.
 Therefore ask that the Record be corrected that respect that it may not indicate that Rep- esentative Dingell is one who walks in the outer arkness of Republicanism when he really walks In he bright light of Democracy"
 Republican Senator Bourke Hickenlooper of Iowa ,ok issue with Pepper, assuring him that those no walk in the true path of Republcanism are also alking in the true path of democracy"
 And always anxious to get word in, Republican Ihp Kenneth Wherry of Nebraska expressed the ppreciaton by Senate Republicans for "the loan by le Senator from Florida of Representative Ddngell tough he did so for only short time"
 President Truman sent personal message to iarshal Staln, asking him to sell wheat to U.N.R. 2A 0staln says the request was three months too .ate0 The message implied that Russia could sell wheat independently to France, it could also cooperate with U.N.RRA. Because of the break down in Big Four relations, Gen. Lucius Clay has ordered halt to the dismantng of the German war plants in the American zone. Some people are won- dering whether these may yet be used in a war against Russia. =. The U. S. and Great Britain have sent hot notes to Marshal Tito demanding that Tito pull back his army from the Veneda- Guilia region.
