1t begins to appear now that the compro-
mise OPA bill which some of the members of
the United States Senate are trying to get
through would rob the consumers of the couna,
try of the most important controls over prices
and leave only few other unimportant things
under actual control.
The contention of the union has been that
prices of food, clothing and rents should be
held, but each Senator has some particular
thing which he wants exempted Senator
Wherry of Nebraska is doing good job for the
meat packing interests of his own state after
refusing to vote for similar exemption pro-
posed by Senator Thomas of Oklahoma.
Other Senators want clothing exempted
rents and whatever the special interests of
their own states want removed from price
control. This is the way that Congress oper-
ates with each Senator mindful of the par
ticular interests of his own state and nearly
all willing to make deals with the other Sena-
tors to put over each others proposals. {
ONE HOPE
1t is easy to see now that so far as the SEN
ate is concerned, that it is out to do job on
President Trumans proposals and accomplish
a two-fold purpose. /. They will insure the
President politically. 2 They will accom-
plish something for the meat packing and
food interests of their home states.
Nobody need be surprised at the willingness
of the Senate to go against the wishes of the
American people who have stated their desire
for a continuation of price control. The ex-
planation for the insolent actions of Wherry,
Taft, Thomas and some of the other senator's
is easy. They do not need to run for re-
election this fall.
Our only hope now lies in the House whose
members must all be reelected in the fall
election It makes lot of difference how
politicians listen to their people when they
must ask them for their votes and you can !,
bet all the tea in China that if the Housl
doesn't come through and save price control
for the people of this country that there are
going to be lot of new faces in that body
in January 1947.
LET THEM KNOW
know that the people in Toledo want
price controls continued but they must do
their part to let our representatives to the
House know how they feel. Everyone who
is getting taste now of what is to come in
the way of initiation should write to his con-
gressmen now and tell them in simple Ian
guage that he wants price controls on food,
clothing and housing continued 1t need not
be a long letter. A postcard will do, but
write now, Immediately.
We should not only write our congress
men, but more important we should see what
they do when the time comes to vote on the
OPA bill. Then, if the people whom we have &
picked to represent us fail to do what we
ask, we should retire them to private life in
November and elect somebody to Congress
who will really represent our and not pri-
vate, interests. This is an important issue
and we must act now.

Washington
POrtr0it:

The man who kept rents
down so that you could pay
them, the man who grappled
with the NAM, big business
lobbies and OPA-hating Con-
gressmen to keep prices with
in the reach of the common
man." and now probably the
most popular man in the
country that's Chester
Bowles.
Economic stabilizing was
his Job, and when Congress
squeezed the life out of OPA,
Bowles resigned. He preferred
to use his ability where it
could bring results rather than
hang on to an empty title.
With a charm and sincerity
that is said to have captivated
the irate price control haters.
Senators Wherry and Taft, and
sent them home laughing,
Bowles worked his way up
from the advertising game as
chairman of the board of
Benton and Bowles, Inc, into
the nations hottest seat -
and sat there longer than his
two predecessors combined.
MAN OF THE PEOPLE
Until his resignation he was
one of the few Roosevelt rlen
still around President Tru-
man. His economic philosophy
is simply full employment
and full production, and with
1t he has emerged as one of
the country's greatest cham
pions of the little people"
The story goes around that
Bowles first saw the dawn of
liberalism when his marketing
surveys indicated that SO per
cent of the people did not
have the necessary income to
buy goods.
Around Connecaicua, where
he has a farm, rumors persist
that the public hasn't seen
the last of Chet Bowles. After
all there are a governor and
senator to be elected in the
Nutmeg State this fall. And
he'd be a helluva guy to have
on our side!

And there's no reason to consider that
merely the piqued reaction of union type
setter when you read what Sen. Bilbo told
Congress last week. The pride of the pecker-
woods rushed back from months campaign
In the Mississippi swamps, galloped onto the

the pending Congressional reorganization BILL
To the incredulity of other Senators who even
after these many years can't comprehend the
workings of Bilbos mind, the Mssissipian de-
clared: From what have learned about the
bill have never read it; / wish that to be
understood-there are in it number of pro-
visions which are not exactly American"

ISOLATION of being able to draw pictures of buff

United States that the President cannot ap-

Senator Hatch in behalf of food

Rep Clare Boothe Luce has been made a
Czarist knight of the "Order of the Compass

ciety of World War /. We don't know whether
lady knights were supposed to be adept at
lance fitting, but the Connecticut Congress
woman came off so badly in her tilt with the
unions of her state that, like Martin Dies she's
afraid to re-enter the election tournament this
fall.
II think we ought to quit operating on the
legislative cadaver which is now before the

Senator LaFollette on the Minimum
Wage Bill.
The AFL Intl. UpholSterers Union won pay
raises of from SC to 15c an hour from the
chair manufacturers of Sheboygan Wis. That
should have been easy. Chair manufacturers
would logically be the last ones to want to
risk sitdown strike.
A breach of promise suit brought by for
mer hat-check girl against Charles M. Wrigley
in Chicago was of more than passing interest
to thousands of Wrigley employees who for
long time have figured that the worlds largest
chewing gum firm could afford to give them a
wage boost. The hat-check girl told the court
that Wrigley had promised to pay her $1,000 a
month for life and to establish $780, 600 trust
fund in the event of his death. The workers
who have made Wrigley's millions for him
almost swallowed their tutti-frutti when they
read that the payments were allegedly due the
girl for "ameliorating his aesthetic we'll

Here's to Senator Taft
Who only laughed and laughed
AS he cut the heart from OPA
So that all of us must pay and pay.
So it is up to us of the CIo
To give him kick so that he will go
Back to his home in Cincinnati
And quit using the name of his dear old pappy.

Selective Service Makes New Call
 FOn NOn-Fathers

JUNEAU, Aug. ', John L. Me Cormich, Territorial Director of Selective Service, announced to day that since the induction of Is year old registrants is now pro- hibited by law, and the num- of non-fatherS available in the l9 through 25 age group is very small, it is now necessary to pro- cess for induction nOn-fatherS in the age group 26 through 29 in order to meet the call placed on Alaska Boards.
 MT. Mccormick further stated that all employers who are now employing registrants between the ages of l9 and 29 inclusiVely, should submit deferment requests to the registrants' local boards if they think deforment should be granted. This process is ne ceSsary in order that local boards will have current information. DSS Forms 42A Special Revised) will be used for making all re- quests for the OccupatiOnal de- ferment, including agriculture, of registrants ages l9 through 29. This form may be obtained from any local Selective Service Board or from Territorial Headquarters, Box 269l, Juneau.
 Deferment requests are not ne cesSary for registrants with one or more children CThe term child ren shall include legitimate or illegitimate children from the date Of their conception, children legally adopted, stepchildren, fos- ter childrenO. A registrant should submit proof of an expected child by obtaining a doctors affidavit to that effect This affidavit should be forwarded to the regis trant's own local board, otherwise without this information he would probably be processed for induc- ton.
 It is very important that the employer and the registrant sub- init the above information to To- cal boards immediately.
 Local boards are being instruct ed to proceed with the reclassi- fication and processing of all non- father registrants between the ages of 19 and 29 years.

Best Guarantee
 For Democracy

New York (LPA)-For the first time in history the right of unionism has been presented to a conquered nation and as a re- suit more than 100000 Japa- nese workers have joined unions in the year since the war ended, Mark Starr, educational director of the Int'l Ladies Garment Workers-AFL, declared here last week.
 Pro-Union Policy
 Returning from a six-weeks as- signment in Japan as a labor edu- cation cOnsultant to the Supreme Command of the Allied Powers, Starr said that the unprecedented growth of Japanese trade unionism, encouraged by the White House surrender policy of September, l945,. was particularly due to the directive issued by Gen. Douglas Macarthur in October last year, which definitely instructed the Japanese government to favor a prO-unionization policy and result ed in the legalization of collective bargaining.
 Starr said that the fourishing con dition of Japanese unions constitutes a forceful guarantee that the U. 5. does not regard Japan as potential economic colony and stressed union ism as safeguard that the Zaibatzu, the Japanese industria1ists, will not succeed in regaining the power they formerly exercised over the Japanese people.
 American unions can best help Japanese labor by arranging ex- change delegations, by lending trade union organizers, administra- tors, experts in collective bargain ing and workers education to share with the Japanese unions their day to-day experience, Starr asserted. He said that the union leaders he interviewed, whether members of the counterparts of the AFL and CIO welcomed the aid of Gen. Mac Arthur and expressed the hope for a better implementatiOn of the laws determining strike settlement pro- cedures and defining standards of labor conditions.
