to defend in that city in order to
expel Tito's troops from that city:
If it came to fighting in that re-
gion, the decision would rest with
the ground forces with such naval
and air support as could be brought
to bear upon the ground forces.
The same principle would prevail in
a general European war: the fact
that the Russian infantry is al
ready half across Europe would
mean that all that part of Europe
and more besides would be a fort
ress for all the Russian armies
within it. 1t would be a fortress
against which the atomic bomb
could not be used. We could not
annihilate Vienna, Venice, Milan,
and Rome, Stockholm, Copenhagen,
Brussels, Amsterdam, and Paris
with atomic bombs, killing
thousand Europeans for each Rus
sian infantry soldier.
So let us not jump hastily to con
illusions about how much Of a win
ming weapon is the atomic bomb. L
is without doubt a terrible weapon
But it does not follow that in rea
life it would be necessarily and al
ways the winning weapon.

RAILROAD ROMANCE
Iron Horse OF Other DAYS
Gives Way To Fast Diesel

problem of planters of the coastal
plains section, reaching from West
Virginia to Florida's West Coast.
The first of the Coast Lines con-
stituent roads were built to attract
trade from this area to a definite
market, and was built by the citi-
zens Of that market; others were
built by North Carolina citizens to
furnish a market for their pro-
duce, within the state.
Vital War Links
Entering the Civil War with
bright prospects, the connections
between Wilmington and Rich
mond, Va, were of vital import
ance to the Confederacy, because
Wilmington, for some time was the
only port to which blockade run
ners had access.
But the railroads suffered a
period of deteriation at the hands
of Federal forces, and from over
taxing the roads strength.
heCallS
H, D. Dozier, writing a history OF
ACL, recalled the bridging of the
Cape Fear, for connection of The
Wilmington and Weldon. "This
bridge connected also the Whining
ton and Manchester, and the Will
mington, Columbia and Rutherford
(row mart of the Seaboard Air
Line road"
With other branch lines, the story
of the struggle to organize a DEF
mite means of transportation, is a
similar one.
The South, long suffering from
land worn out from planting of cot
ton and tobacco, and experiencing
a rapidly diminishing supply OF
timber, welcomed the railroads as
a mean of transporting their prod
ucts of truck farming to then
'ready markets"
Fostered Farming
Not only did the railroads lay
the rails and roadbeds, furnish the
locomotives and cars, but they also
fostered, as they are continuing to
today, a desire on the part OF
property owners to grow truck
crops, and to otherwise diversity
their farming, so their land would
come back into its own.
The result was a movement of
nerishab1es beyond all eXpecta-
tons.
Starting with the. engine and ere
car. the train length would grow all
along the way, and by 1900 these
commodities were being hauled by
train in maximum tonnage train
loads. .
Leading Road
Thus the Coast Line has become
the leading road of the South, and
with the past and present a certain
ty. is projecting itself into the flu
ture with orders for tremendous
stockpiles of moving and stationary
stock, and a multi-million dollar
roadbed, track and signal rehaolll-
tation program to keep in pace with
travel of tomorrow.
So whether the air travel crowds
out rail service, as other modes OF
TRANSPORTATION have crowded out
the less modern, "pack up your
troubles in your old kit bag" and
to take to the rails for a
tourney. eft for a king" or good
enough for any modern Whining
tonian.

FTC CITES METAL
LATH ASSOCIATION
Ten Member Organizations
Also c Charged With
Fixing Prices, Sales

WASHINGTON, June 30.-Pe
The Federal Trade commission
announced Sunday it has charged
the Metal Lath Manufacturers as
,ociation of Cleveland and its 10
memeber manufacturers with fix
ing and maintaining identical
prices and sales terms.
The complaint said the members
and the only manufacturers of
metal lath in the United States and
are in a position to ''dominate ana
control prices for their products
"to the extent. that they act collec-
lively in effectuating their pricing
program"
The complaint charges that each
member manufacturer calculates
its prices by dividing the country
:ulo several zones and quoting Ito
all prospective purchasers within
any one of the zones the same and
single delivered price at their re-
pective designation, irrespective of
the cost of delivery to such pur-
chasers."
Delivered price quotations thus
calculated the complaint said,
ARE Systematically made to reflect
larger net sums per unit of pro-
duct to be charged purchasers To-
Gated nearer the points of produc-
ton than those more distantly To-
Gated, and not to reflect the diff
ferences in the costs of manufac-
ture, sale and delivery. AS a re-
suit, each of the respondent manu-
facturers matches its delivered
price quotations at any given desti-
nation within a zone with those of
the other respondent manufac-
turers.'

AMERICAN ACTION, successor to the notor-
lous Liberty League of the 30's, brazenly showed
Its hand in Chicago last week.
A COP campaign rally was being held in the
Bird congressional district for candidate Fred
Busbey, who has the endorsement of Gerald l..
K Smith and every section of the native fascist
clan.
Edward Hayes, national chairman of Ameri-
can Action, Inc, was the main guest speaker on
behalf of Busbey.
Speaking with Hayes for Busbey was none
other than the leading Republican office-holder
in nlinois-Governor Dwight H. Green.
The meeting brought together in open alliance
the reaetonary coalition that is seeking seizure
of power. Hayes, the direct en1issary of the big
gest of big businessman, and Green, ''respecta-
be- Republican front, joined hands in support of
Busbey, an associate of what used to be called
the "lurlatic fringe =

THE VOTER acting now, will have to look
beyond November to the crucial elections of
1948 In voting now, he will have to consider
how he can strengthen the hand of those who
will join in the building of a new party of the
people.
He will have to consider how he can help
weaken and defeat the reactonaries in both old
parties who stand in the path of progress And
his sharpest blows must be directed at the pro-
fascist Mccormick wing of the Republican
Party who represent the gravest danger now
and in the future.
The STAR calls upon its readers to do their
share in the fight against this fascist-sponsored
drive against America. Get out the vote next
Tuesday - yours your famay's, your friends.
The great conspiracy can be smashed.
The Chicago star. (Chicago, Ill.) 1946-1948, 1946-11-02
Your vote can stop reaction

And that pattern takes a shape that is far
more sinister than merely return to the Hoo
yer period. Republican leadership of 1916 is typi-
fled by such figures as Col Robert r.. McCor-
mick, who is on the record as an a5vocate of
fascism.
Or consider the reaction of Sen. Robert A.
Taft, top Republican leader to the Nuremberg
trials Taft deplored the conviction of the Nazi
ringleaders, and, in effect, upheld their right to
do what they did and to do it again.
Another piece in the Republican pattern is the
timing of the current red-baiting drive, so remin-
iscent of the Hitler rise to power.
Or think about the fact that Republican indus
trialsts were able to hold gun to the head of
the American people" in the words of Chester
Bowles, and force the removal of price controls.
And put into place that completing segment
of the pattern-the ernergence of American Ac-
ton, Inc, which gives organized form to the
eonspiratorial alliance of Big Business, organized
fascism and Republican politics,
IF is EASY to become discouraged by the
performance of the Truman administration and
its supporters in Congress. It's record in office
has been one of steady retreat before the drive
of the great monopoly interests toward chaos at
home and war abroad. 1t has failed at almost
every critical point when Franklin Roosevelt's
program for the people was at stake
But the shortcomings of the Truman admins
tration must become the soft spot in the line
through which the Republican panzers can push
a disastrous salient
On the contrary, that line must now be but
tressed and bolstered by sending the most stall
wart progressives and Independents into the Con-
gress. That can be done on next Tuesday.

The failure of Truman make it increasingly
urgent to mobilize the vote for progressive and

The issue facing American voters this election
day has become completely clear during the last
few weeks of the campaign.
On November 5, the American people will be
called upon to defend the nation from Wall
Streets most dangerous offensive.
The emergence Of the notorious American Ac-
lion, Inc, as the openly-avowed power behind
the Republican leadership has given dramatic
confirmation of the STARS analysis of last
month, when we declared that the main threat
facing the American people this November is
the attempt of fascist-minded groups to seize
control of the government through the Republi-
can party.

SAID WALLACE in Los Angeles last week:
eff (the Republicans) win control of the
House, we are really in for some hard times. We
shall then learn the full meaning of real infia-
tion sudden deflation, and of Soviet-baiting, la
bor-baiting, war-provoking tactics which will
will make the bipartisan bloc of the past Con-
gress seem pale and Intellectual by comparison
Wallace's warming have implications that go
far beyond November and the election of the
80th Congress. The political handwriting on the
wall says that new political alignments are in
the making.
