Daily Paper Publishes AFL Union Supplement

Elizabethton, Teun.-Something new has been added in the field of labor publicity in east Tennessee with the recent appearance of The Watauga Rayon Worker as a SUD- plement to The Daily Star. The supplement, a page devoted ex- clusively to labor news. is sponsored by Watauga Rayon Workers, Local 22O7 AFL, and carries enough small ads to support the cost of the page. It is planned to increase the supple ment to two or more pages in the very near future.
 The terms of the contract be- tween the local union and the pub fisher provided that all news and editorial matter on this particular page shall be furnished by a repre- sentative of the union and shall not be censored, the only restrictions being that all matter comply with postal regulations and that libelous matter be eliminated.
 The unions representative in handling news matter is R. w. Bowdoin, for years active in the labor movement in this area. The sponsoring local is the worlds larg- est group of organized rayon work CTS, better than 5000 strong, and has the support of all AFT locals in the area in this venture.

 We have many great advantages to help US in this great effort to bring prosperity to the working people of this section.

WHO KNOWS?

Today another year begins its unfold
ing, and, as the saying goes, by the time
we turn around two or three times, 1915
will be nearing it's end.
1t appears only fewweeks ago when
we heard the whistles blowing and the
bells ringing in ushering in 1915, and last
night we heard the blowing and ringing
when 1916 was born. What has 1916 got
in store for us?
We asked that question for 1915, and
it had more in store for us than most of us
thought it had All of us felt that it would
not be long before Germany would be
crushed, but many of us thought, and we
apply the many to the country in general,
that Japan still would be fighting at the
end of the year. Prominent among those
who thought we would still be fighting the
bassador Grew to that country. At one
time he declared it would be 1949 before
the Japs would be knocked out of the war.
Our biggest surprise in 1916 was the
development of the atomic bomb, some
thing that we had been dreaming about for
many years, long before the war started,
but which we still thought was in the dim
future. Then one day, while President
Truman was in Potsdam, he announced that
an atomic bomb had been dropped on Hiro-
shima. 1t required only another atomic
bomb, the one that fell on Nagasa, to make
Japan cry out for peace. -, IL &

PLANNED ATTACK UPON u. S.

The people of the United States who
in the years before Pearl Harbor defended
the Nazis and demanded that this country
keep out Of the conflict in Europe, should
take note of a secret letter, uncovered at
Nuremberg, which was written by genera
at Hitler'ss press quarters on, October 20,
1910. Here is what it said:
''The Fuehrer is at present occu-
pied with the question of occupation of
Atlantic ISLANDS, with view to prose-
cution of war against America at a
later date. The deliberations on this
subject are being embarked upon
here" 81 ,14.1
This indicates very plainly that Hitler
had marked the United States for victim
of the NaZi super-state, although obviously
the attack upon this country was not sched-
uled to commence until after the conquest
of Europe While the German leader had
his plan clearly in mind, it should not be
overlooked that the possible success of his
scheme was enhanced by the strange atti-
tude of some Americans, who, without
knowing, declared positively that the Ger
man plan of conquest did not envision an
attack upon the United States.
Hitler was not the only Nazi who had
something to say about the United States.
At the trial there has been produced the
record of a secret speech by Hermann Goer-
ing, German Airmarshal, who, in 1888, de-
clared: - Us n
Il am still missing entirely the
bomber which flies with five tons of
explosive to New York and back. l
would be extremely happy to have
such bomber, so that would at least
be able to stop somewhat the mouths
of the arrogant people over there"

SELF-GUIDED WEAPON

Now comes the revelation that the
Navy used a self-guided aerial weapon
which, with the use of radar, managed to
follow a lodging target after being started
in the right direction so od5
This is interesting but more important
is the fact that officials say the weapon
has been made obsolete by developments
These, it may be presumed, have been ac-
cepted as new weapons by our armed forces
although their nature is not disclosed.
There are some revelations still to
come about the manner in which this nation
waged its recent wars. Not all the secrets
have been told and the chance is that some
of them remain the secret of our armed
forces although there is always danger
that some Congressional committee will
want TO spread them to the public gaze.

BALANCED LIVES

Nearly everybody has heard about a
balanced diet but not so much attention
is being paid to the ACCESSIBILITY of-leading
a balanced life.
The, erratic and fanatical behavior of
those who are unable to govern life, how
ever, is not enough to upset the equilibrium
of the human race which merely gives a
passing glance at the performers and their
antics.
The balanced life includes not only the
tempered expression of personality but al
so the philosophic viewpoint that enables
one to retain perspective in the midst of
emotional excitement and irrational con-

WARNS OF SCATTERING sMAsH-UP'

The policy now being pursued by the
Government in connection with labor dis
putes is considered ia defense against IN
flation, which the President is very pSfotls
TO avoid. Elm IS
This explains the earnest effortof the
Government to prevent higher prices and
It's reluctance to sanction wage increases
that could be used as a basis to advance
ceiling prices.
There is an exception in the case where
wages are increased to compensate for the
additional cost of living since January,
1871. Labor unions have attempted to
prove that the companies are able to meet
their wage demands without increasing the
ceiling price of their products.
The Bureau of Labor Statistics main
tains an index to measure the relative cost
OF living in the various years. Until the
FIRST of this month, the increase since 1941
was shown at thirty per cent but the Office
of Economic Sterilization announces that
the figure of thirty-three per cent has been
accepted.
This, it seems, provides some leeway
for employers in meeting the demand for
increased wages but obviously increases
the prospect that prices of products will
move upward This, of course, is part of
the process of initiation.
Chester Bowles, head of the Office of
Price Administration, insists that price cell
ings must be maintained not only until
June 80, when the OPA legislation expires,
but that new legislation should be enacted
10 extend price control for not less than
one year. He warns that unless we win the
fight against initiation, there will be a brief
period of false BOOM that will be followed
by ''shattering smash-up"
