Idea But Not The Cash

IN A RECENT SPEECH, u, S.
Comptroller General Lindsay c.
Warren warned the states that the
relationship between them and the
Federal Government represents a
danger in tending to concentrate
all authority and power in the
Federal Government.
"If the states wish to regain
powers and prestige" declared Mr..
Warren, "they must assume their
full responsibility and render to
the people a high quality of pub
lie service that cannot be dupli-
Gated by the Federal Government. !"
This advice, we submit, is timely.
AT the moment, however, the
Comptroller-General does not sug-
gest how the states and local gov
ernmental units can secure the
money with which to finance pub
lie service of a quality that the
Federal Government cannot dupli-
cate.
The interesting suggestion has
been made that the Federal Gov
ernment's income tax should be
maintained at a relatively high
rate, with an equitable distribution
Of the receipts to the states and
from the states to local govern
mental units. This would permit
the state governments to abandon
their income tax and, at the same
time, give them the funds to as
sumo responsibilities that cannot
be met at the present time except
by the Federal Treasury.

Old Clothes Can Save

MILLIONS OF MEN, women and

country in winter. There is not
only a shortage of clothing, but
also a scarcity Of fuel. Helpless
families huddle together in an eff
fort to keep warm in unheated
buildings, despite insufficient
clothing and bedding.
This is the report OF observers
In Europe and in some areas of
the Far East. The biting cold tor
lures the innocent and helpless vic
Tins Of warfare, causing untold
suffering in neutral countries, as
well as in enemy lands.
Last April, the people Of the
United States participated in a
clothing collection which provided
garments for 25,0OO,0O0 human
beings. This month the Victory
Clothing Collection will continue
through January 31st, with the en-
dorsement Of many national or
CARNATIONS, including educational,
labor, veterans, religious and serv-
ice groups.
The individual in this county is
asked to give every usuable old

assumed that almost every person
can find some DISCHARGED garments

imagine that millions of people in
this country, after a devastating
war, faced the cold winter weather
without fuel and without enough
clothing to keep themselves warm
What would we think of European
people If they were unwilling to
send US their discarded clothes,
bedding and material?
What win we think Of ourselves,
in after years, if, through careless
ness, neglect or Indifference, we
fail to respond TO these human
needs and permit millions of peo-
pie, especially woman and children,
to suffer not only the pangs OF
cold, but also to die from diseases
that inevitably accompany pro-
Ionged exposure.

America Faces Task Of
Finishing Job in Germany
New Policy Needed for Constructive ReStor-
alton of Reich; British and Russians
Ahead of U. S. in Creating Order.
BY BAUKHAGE
VetUs AHalysf and Commentator.

ical resistance was not built up. An
increased amount Of calories is now
assured and might say that you
would be surprised at the surprise
expressed by certain high official
in Berlin when Washington "came
across" Sentiment in that respect
did change in the States but l am
afraid it wasn't due to any keen
realization that it was part of fin
ishing an important job. 1t was
just sentimental and charitable
gesture, typical of Americans who
don't like to see anybody starve.
It was not a practical response to
a cold-blooded necessity.
Nevertheless, we can write that
point off as on the credit side.
We've been spared a fight against
disease. But what about the twin
factors stressed by Price and every
one else who knows anything about
Europe today: the economic unfit
cation and the French deadlock
which prevents il? How much
knowledge or interest is America dis
playing on that subject? From what
General Clay said to me / feel ne
believes solution of his major
problems is impossible unless Ger
many is united in a single economic
unit. There are no present pros.
poets.
The French are stubborn and
their motivating emotion in refusing
to permit German industry of the
Saar and Ruhr valleys to try TO paw
the nations own way is fear-fea-
as it was from 1870 until 1914, when
it was justified. And from 1899 that
fear has grown. Unless the rest Of
the world can allay it, it viii be
hard to expect anything short Of
hysteria behind all French policy in
international relations. And certain
~ American can never change the
French attitude until France is as
sured that we do intend to finish
the job
Another problem mentioned in the
Price report, one which is being
widely discussed at the moment in
Germany, is denazifcation. We re-
ceived fright on the subject that
was probably unfounded although
it may have been true that some Of
the fairly dangerous Hitlerites were
being given jobs which they should
not have had. Then we went TO the
other extreme, instead OF swallow
ing camels we now strain at NaZis
An amusing incident occurred. A
member Of the military government
set out in a methodical manner TO
get list Of the best experienced
men for certain set of jobs. With
the cooperation of a properly
screened" German he turned them
up all right but when he submitted
the names Of the men and their
qualifications all were put in jail
under the letter of the law the posi-
tons they had held under the Nazi
regime made them subject to Eau

Might Run Out of Army

III is NOT creditable to the Con-
gress or the people of the United
States that General Eisenhower
has to appeal for calm Judgment
and sound discipline" to replace
the hysteria that has been CON
nected with rehabilitation of our
lighting forces.
The leader of our successful
campaign in Europe says frankly
that the alternative is for the
Army to throw in the sponge ON
Its principal mission, occupational
duties and the protection of bill
hons of dollars worth Of property
still overseas.
The Chief of staff made a per-
sonal appeal to the Senators and
Representatives to support the
Army in its effort to meet the
problem plaguing it wherever men
are overseas. He frankly admitted
that the War Department could
not live up to the "hope" of Cen
eral Marshall that all men with
two years service would be dis
charged this spring and warned
that if rehabilitation was acceler-
ated beyond present plans, the
nation will literally "run out of
Army"

Let's Save A. Few Lives

The ADOPTION of uniform
traffic law throughout the
United States is urged as q means
to save immense sums Of money
through the elimination of acct
dents, which will save man-labor,
vehicle loss and injury to individ-
uals.
1t is estimated that 10000 per-
sons will be killed in the United
States, during 1916, through auto
mobile accidents. This is fearful
toll that is being paid, not so much
for speed, as for failure to enact
and enforce vehicle codes and traf-
fic laws.
This county will furnish its
share of the victims, its proportion
of the property loss and the man.
power wasted. More than furnish
ing its sacrifice the people here
will make out that they like it,
because they will very probably
do little or nothing about it.

Wars are wasteful and everybody
knows it. An emotional plea for
national defense is all IT takes TO
raise money from patriotic people.
Men and women win sacrifice, will
give until it hurts when their sons
are at war. A young man, far from
home, living CD under conditions
new to him and unknown to his par
ents, is the unfailing combination to
the family's treasure chest.
Whether parents be rich or poor,
they will buy their sons passage
home from a foreign war every day
until he comes, so long as they can
find the money, and nobody blames
them. They will do it, even if they
fear that the money they offer is
imprudently spent, or that part of
it is diverted into selfish channels.
But hostilities have ceased now
Things are different.

Record Coins In
New CumeIs Pact

Winston-Salem, N. c. (FP)-Larg'
est wage gains in the history of the
tobacco industry in the south were
scored in new contract signed be-
tween Local %, Food, Food, Tobacco
Agricultural & Allied Workers and
the r. j. Reynolds Tobacco Co., max
ers of Camels and other products.
The contract, which sets a Csc
hourly minimum, will bring an extra
SO million a year into the household
budgets of some $500 Eta members.
Average increase will figure at Is per
cent with the larger increases going
to the lower-paid workers.
Among other frsts the new contract
ends the 14-week exemption from
overtime payment that has plagued
seasonal workers ever since it was
written into the wage-hour law. Sea-
sonal workers in the tobacco strip
ping sheds will now receive time-and-
a-half after 40 hours in a week and
eight hours in a day. The contract
also includes improved seniority, three
paid holidays, improved grievance
machinery, maintenance of member

While there will be no action on the

Phelps Dodge
Goons Shoot
UE Striker
Union Seeks Search
Warrant For Thugs

Elizabeth, N. j. (FP)-Goons with
guns fired against peaceful pickets
and wounded one striker here July
80 before being dispersed by mem
bers of United Electrical Radio &
Machine Workers as their strike
against Phelps Dodge Corp. moved
toward the end of its seventh month.
The clash came as 40 strikers
maintained the 24-hour water-borne
picket line they established more than
a month ago to halt the company's
importation of strikebreakers from
New York by boat. AS the unions
three-boat picket line passed the
Phelps Dodge pier, 60 goons who
have been stationed in the plant be-
gan hurling rocks and waving guns.
The boats began to withdraw to a
safe distance when the goons opened
fire and shot Strike Publicity Direc-
tor Bert Eckstein in the leg. The en-
ragged strikers then stormed ashore,
engaged the strikebreakers in free
for-all and drove them back to the
shelter Of the plant where they con-
tinued firing haphazardly at the
pickets.
The UE has applied for John Doe
warrants on charges of assault with
intent to kill and is seeking search
warrant to permit entry into the
plant to find those responsible for the
shooting.
Previously two of the thugs were
arrested by Elizabeth police and
given six-month sentences on charges
of disorderly conduct. They revealed
that Phelps Dodge had hired them
a Newark detective agency
to provide 40 guards for the plant at
wages of $25 day each.
Investigation revealed that both
goons had previous police records,
while other of the thugs are under
the supervision of Anthony Anasta-
sia, notorious Murder Inc. gangster.
