Wanted: A Breathing Spell

Two statements by John D. Small Civilian Price Admin tee to point up aspect of the danger controlled imitation which has been underemphaszed in most discussions of the subject.
 If it not for strikes" MT. Small said "we would now be at capacity production elds And, warning that the imitation danger would reach it's peak the next few months he added Sx months full produc on would think in position where could afford to take risks"
 Organized labor launched intensive widespread pan to ave the OPA after the House of Representatives passed bill which left the prcecontrol agency badly but still breathing Labor organizations have blamed actonary and reaconary businessmen string an end of controls and skrockeng period of boom and bust
 But there has been nothing said in all the labor pagng about the contrbution which protracted strikes have made to condition which many union members to think can be remeded by price control alone.
 The coal strike is only the latest and most imposing ad- dtion to the wall behind which damned everrsng de- mand for goods One strike after another has held back this accumulation of nationary money when it seemed that supply and demand might start toward some sembance of balance, along has and serious stoppage.
 In ntegraed and nterdependent economy the steel and coal strikes have been felt by almost every family in the country. They will continue to be felt for time with effects running inconvenience to unempoy- ment and downright hardship.
 That is not to say that strikes the only source of danger But it is entirely misleading to believe that the whole story of threatened imitation is contained the ment over whether the OPAs price ceilings stng pro- duction or whether protgreedy ndustrasts staging production sitdown until all controls off.
 Since the administration committed to policy of price control without wage control that organ lzed labor must take voluntary steps the country to come off it's precarous perch at the brink of imitation
 If labor would make deal with Congress, to speak, and to sxonth moratorium on strikes in return for continued price control then indeed there would be good cause for hope It would be much to organized abor interest as it would to ndustry's to do so.
 To threaten more strikes and wage demands if price controls removed simply pile disaster upon dis aster The countrys industry must have the opportunity plan with confidence for production considerable period of time if imitation and unemployment are to be avoided
 Labors agreement negotiate it's demands and grev- ances without striking for six months would not seem an exobltant price to for helping put the country back It's feet

from point of shipment They threatened to use true unless this were done. That was horrendous pro pect to A. F. Clevand, vice president of the America Assn. of Railroads he complained in letter t John J. Peley association president that this would cost southern lines over S million, as a layman reads it, this would mean that the public might be saved some money, that is, If oil companies then re- duced their prices. So MT. Cleveland went around to all the oil com panieS and worked out agreement whereby there would be some adjustment of rates If the oil cOnl- panieS would agree: to truck no more than 40 O 50 miles from water terminals to stop deliveries [ dealers buyers at terminals to jack up rentals filling stations railroad property and to discourae such future leases.
 The plan was contingent upon unanimous agree ment. It never went through because couple wary lawyers of Standard Oil of New Jersey ar Kentucky said it was violation of both federal state antitrust laws and refused to along Other wise 1t probably would have gone into effect
 
 A few years later, in 1889, southwestern railroad wanted reduction Of rates petroleum products from midcontnent refneries to the southeast, so that independents in their could get into that market The big companies with entrenched interests in the southeast squashed that pretty quick.
 It would have caused them to reduce prices to the ultimate consumer Quite hot speech was made by A. c. Hultgren, of Shell Oil Company in meet ing at memphis. He said the oil companies intended to keep the southeastern market, and he threatened that if rates reduced they would put additional pipelines into the territory. and would other com panies.

Road Safety

Glare Boothe Luce from Connecticut and Associate Jng1ce William O. Douglas of the United States Supreme Court speaking the Presidents Highway Safety urged the local enforcement of laws effort to lesson the number of road accidents.

 Mrs. Luces personal loss through highway accidents duplicated by the losses experienced by others To insure safety it would if all communities consider better enforcement of local laws that the number of high way accidents would at least be lessened
 Waterbury has fairly good record in this respect And 1t might be said here that Connecticut had perfect record for March, 1946 with low in the number of pedestrian fatalities the lowest in the history of the state department Statistics however show that highway accidents up 20 percent in Connecticut the first few months of 946 in most states To curb this condition the police will start May 15 police traffic safety check part of the national project for safety the highways to last six weeks Brakes horns lights windshield wipers and those things whose lack of adjustment the of many accidents to be checked by the police in charge slogan will be- Check your Driving Check Car Check Accidents

Of Secrety and see how is all done, thanks to suits brought by the government and by Governor Arnall of Georgia charging pricefing and other antitrust law violations by railroads Also there is the evidence submitted to the senate interstate commerce con- mittee.
 But this will be the last peek the public gets if the Bulwinkle bill, passed by the House and pending in the Senate Interstate Commerce Committee should become law For this secret procedure of agreements among railroads would be legalized and exempt from pryng eyes prosecution by the Justice Department representing the public.
 reading of files and files of confidential cor respondence and proceedings of secret meetings at fancy hotels fails to show any ardent concern for the public and consumer interest They are all about pressures brought by the dominant group against any railroad truck line barge or ship line so brash as to want to reduce rates; about equalizng and bringing into line-that is. raising-rates of competing agencies to rail levels They are about more profits for the railroads toon short about protect ing monopoly so everybody can get his cut. The consumer pays.
 There was, for example, the request of major oil companies back in 1884 to reduce rates to 2SO miles

planned with the care of an actor Or you go through the headquarters of the United Mine Workers formerly the dignified Uni- versity Club just a stones throw from the White House, your suspicious confirmed that John L. Lewis relishes the luxury of oak-paneled offices and ornate leather chairs just as much-perhaps more than the tycoon of Wall Street.
 Or when you visit the assembly room in the basement of the United Mine Worlzers' building 3 hundred pictures stare at you-an framed cartoons
 Unquestionably if John L. Lewis hadn't built up his own ego, he wouldn't be where he is today. Ego has done lot for John. But sometimes ego has interfered with the things he was working for; cer tainly it has nterfered with the interests of the co- try.
 Today for instance, labor friends say that one thing irking Lewis is the fact that most of Phil MurrayS negotiations with the steel companies conducted right inside the White House. Murray sat frequently with the President himself. Lewis, the other hand, hasn't been given that recognition
 It happens that there is no man in the US.A. of whom John L. Lewis is more jealous than Phil Mur- ray. Once pals and partners in organizing the CIO, Lewis split, finally went back to the AFL. Mean while, Murray helps govern two great unionS-the steel and auto workers-which are even more power- full than Lewis mine workers Finally, Murray is the friend of the President of the United States
 This is crushing thing to the Lewis ego, and friends say 1t is why he is determined to get higher wage boost than Murrays steel and auto workers
 Chief restraint on Lewis wilfuIness in the old days his wife, quiet cultured lady who read to him in the evenings and gave him part of the back ground which has enabled John to hurl Scripture and at speeches. and lesseducaed coal operators
 Mrs. Lewis has been dead some years now, and daughter Kathryn, is just as willful her father. Furthermore, John has now developed a friendship with another famous lady, who, if anything has more ego than he-Ndrs. Alice Roosevelt Longworth.
 Daughter of Teddy Roosevelt and for years ruler of Washington society, Mrs. Longworth's ego took her into the famous Dolly Gam social battle as to who should precede the other at dinner. Now Alice and Lewis are good friends and each helps to swell the others ego. The mere fact that he is social companion of one of the most famous and witty women in the Capital naturally would initiate almost any mans self-opinon. But to John L. Lewis whose seh-opinion already had reached balloon-like proportions, the effect is nfatonary in the extreme
 NOAE-Alice once boasted to friends that she kept John L. waiting the outside for 30 minutes while she stopped in at cocktail party. Friends say that Mrs Longworth is the only person who has held up the man who has held up the entire nation.

Capital Ghost Stories
By Peter Edson

Labor is Henry Wallaces Castle of Commerce. In the month of April, Wallace made three statements before Congressional committees and delivered eight speeches. four prepared and four ad lib Wallace is 8 gifted enough speaker and writer in his right but he sometimes ghost" for the first draft after telling said ghost" what he wants to say.
 Wallace takes this home and works it over, then dictates new draft in his own language That is sometimes kicked around some more by advisers who tell him that if he says thus and so, hen get in trouble. After which Wallace goes ahead and says it, and gets in trouble.
 Up the Mall is Secretary of Agriculture Clinton Anderson. He made four speeches in April two radio talks, two appearances before Congress and issued three important statements food policy. He like wise, could not have carried this load without the help of whole staff of economists and experts
 If there is anything dishonest about this system. to make all these public utterances and then do an administrative and policy-making job in addition. Ghosts have become absolute necessities even for writing many office-holders letters
 Plenty of hot-shots around Washington have had their regulations made by gifted ghost-writers And it's amazing how many stuffed-shirt will, in time. come to believe that he the original author of famous epigrams put into his mouth by his ghost.
 When celebrity loses good ghost he often to be celebrity. Ghosts modestly realize this. They pride themselves being able to initiate "the boss's style"
 This shows up most prominently when some great administrator leaves public office by invitation. and takes up writing speaking career in private lRe-always at fancy fees There's the injustice of it. Sfrinped of his ghost without his inside sources research staff and analysts such great man b revealed in aA his literary nakedness.

solely by the grea-a-a-t statesmen who deliver them. It wouldn't do, either, for Senator DonneN to inquire too closely into the real authorship of many magazine articles which appear under the by- lines of leaders in public life.
 For ghost-writers haunt every public office in Washington. and politicians couldn't do business without them. It may be dishonest for these big fig to employ little collaboration for the compost on of their deathless prose and oratory but it lot of time, and that's what counts It takes three days or more to get up good speech that says any, thing. And often when public official delivers g speech that isn't too hot you may be justified in the suspicion that he didn't listen to the advice of his ghost, else that he wrote 1t himsel-tn hurry
 
 For instance, in the past month Secretary Schwellenbach had to make three important appear ances before Congressional committees deliver three speeches and make four statements before labor groups. Schweenbach is fortunate, in that his Past legislative and judicial experience has made him . good extemporaneous speaker. But if he had had to do all his own research for these 10 Jobs alone he wouldn't have done anything else all month

THE SPINET ERA
(New Haven Journal-Co

N4NCW 11dVCA COuA AAdA"NOu11CIC
 It is estimated that 100000 persons in the United States, most of them children, are studying mu- sic. The Music Foundation of America says that 5000 play the pianoI These presumably play acceptably. How many additional persons merely commit assault. and battery on the piano would make another sizable but now neglected statistic.
 But these figures do not mean much to Junior, whose fond par entS want him to have musical education. The postwar shortage of pianos, along with all the other things they have the money to buy but can't is Papa's and Mamas worry. Backed-up orders are suf- ficient to absorb capacity produc- tion for the next five years, in- dustry representatives estimate. Everybody seems to want Spinets, they report, with only a few grandS and practically no uprights in de- mand.
 The American family will pay 30 to 60 per cent more than pre-war prices for new piano. according to a study by the family economics bureau of large life insurance company. The study finds 60 per cent of the cost of piano to be wages. Higher prices are expected to have little immediate effect on discouraging demand, and deal CTS estimate at least ten customers for every instrument to be avail able this year. Far from render ing the piano obsolete as medium of musical expression in the home, the radio seems to have made it more popular than ever.

taxpayers. Senator Walsh knows that the crushing income tax, which is being deducted weekly from the earnings of the nations workers through the pay-as- -you-go system, cannot be reduced as long as the United States goes on spending, loaning and giving away tax money at prodigious rate.
 Americas taxpayers have a vital interest in the huge loan to Great Britain for in the final analysis it is taxes from their pay envelopes which ultimately will pay the bill and not the people of Socialist Brit ain.
 Senator Walsh has done the tax payers of the nation and the citizens of Massachusetts in particular a service by focusing attention on aspects of this loan, better termed 8 gift, which are against the best in- terests of America, on the terms now proposed. Senator Walsh is to be commented for his courage and the stern conception of his duty to his country which impel him to adopt the position he has taken on this loan issue in this election year.
