Gov. Arnall OF Georgia Is
Suggested u. S. Atty.-Gen.

Chicago (FP)-Ellis Arnall, pro
gressive governor Of Georgia who was
forbidden by law TO succeed himself
is proposed as federal attorney gen
eral, in line with the Roosevelt ira.
dition, by Director Ira Latimer of the
Chicago Civil Liberties Committee
Latimer reviews President Truman's
present attorney general, Tom c.
Clark, and finds him lined up with
southern reaction.
"Arnall would end the fascist con-
spiracy of the Ku Klux Kan," Lati-
mer argues, "and enforce the U. s,
Supreme Court decision outlawing the
white primary Arnall follows the
lead of Justice Black, Senator Pep
per, of Presidents Jefferson and Jack
son--not Of Bilbo and ODaniel
Judge Lynch and Huey Long"
ArnalPs term as governor Of Geor-
gia expires i'm December, when he will
be succeeded by the notorious "white-
supremacy" rabble-rouser, former
Governor Eugene Talmadge, who
boasts that he has read Hitlers Mein
Kampf seven times.

PoN+ox Repeal
Dies In Senufe

Washington (FP)-The annual bat
tie to repeal the poltax laws of seven
southern states was lost July 81 when
the Senate, by vote Of 80 to 33,
failed to obtain the necessary two
thirds majority needed to invoke
cloture and shut off filibuster.
Passed by the House over a year
ago by an overwhelming majority,
HR 7 had been made the current
business of the Senate after Majority
Leader Alben Barkley introduced a
motion for cloture signed by 28 Sen
ators.
By agreement, the Senate voted at
l p. m. Immediately after Senator
James Mead made brief speech in
which he urged that two-thirds Of
the members "give US the right to
take up this bill by giving US cloture.
"a vote for cloture is a vote for
the bill. A vote against cloture is a
vote against the BILL" Mead declared.
with this vote i'm our hands,"
Mead said, 1--WE will be able to erase
a blot on our democracy that exists
here while we fight for it abroad"
No other Senators uttered a word
for the repeal of the polltax or in
favor of cloture and the President
Pro TEN, Kenneth McKellar, called
for the roll call.
The tabulation of the vote showed
that 23 Democrats, Is Republicans
and one Progressive supported the
move against the filibustering tactics
of the polltax southerners, while 26
Democrats and 7 Republicans voted
against applying the cloture rule.
Voting for the cloture rule were
Senators Austin, Ball, Barkley, Cap
per, Chavez, Gordon, Donnell, Dow

AFL. cI0 Organize
A-Bomb Workers

Oak Ridge, Tenn. (FP)-Men and
women who helped build the atomic
bomb will go to the polls soon in this
army-dominated city to vote in an
NLRB election on whether they want
to be represented in collective bar
gaining by labor union.
The AFL and CIO are conducting
intensive organizing drives under
conditions unlike those ever encount-
cred before by union officials. brll
Organizers have to obtain special
"labor" passes from the army. They
are not allowed to engage in house
toulouse solicitation. They are per-
mitted to hold meetings only under
conditions specified by the army.
Until short time ago the army
would not permit distribution of
printed material inside Oak Ridge
without first approving it, Then a
ban was placed on distribution by or
ganizers of printed material at the
gates of production areas. This ban
was later removed.
Under an agreement between Pres
ident Roosevelt and the heads Of the
AFL and CIO, no union organizing
work was done at Oak Ridge during
the war. After the fighting ended the
War Department relaxed security re-
strictions and told the unions they
could attempt organization here
under certain restrictions.
The AFL and CIO then moved or
ganizers into Oak Ridge and began
their campaigns. Although both labor
groups have large stats here, much
of the actual signing-up of members
is being done by volunteer organizers
who are residents of Oak Ridge.
These people came here from all
parts of the nation and many of them
formerly were union members.
Both AFL and CIO intend to send
in additional organizers between now
and the election, expected within
month.

AFL, CIO Fight Police
Anti-Picketing Measure

San Diego, Calf. (FP)-AFL and
CIO unions marshalled their forces
here against proposed ordinance by
which the city council hopes to use
police power in strict regulation OF
picketing during labor disputes.
Ray Morkowski, president of the
CIO Council, described the measure
as "thinly yelled attempt to use po-
lice against peaceful pickets" and
constitutionality of the measure was
questioned by AFL attorneys. Both
sides are preparing arguments to be
presented at stormy hearing expect
ed to occur in the council chambers
in the near future.
The ordinance was prepared at the
suggestion of an attorney for EN-
ployer groups. Penalties would range
up to $500 fine and six months in jail.

Sen. BiIbo Offers
Rucisf Amendment

Washington (FP)-Stung by mass
protests which charged him with a
part in the rousing of fascist white
supremacy groups that only recently
killed four Negroes at Monroe, Ga,
Senator Theodore G.. Bilbo introduced
racist amendment to the pending
poll tax repeal bill.
Bilbo's amendment, which equaled
anything in that line ever done by
the Nazi exponents of the same
racist theories, reads as follows:
thereafter in any state, territory,
possession or the District of Colum-
bia, the marriage of white person
and Negro or Mulatto, or a person
who shall have one sixteenth or more
of Negro blood or with Mongolian
or with a person who shall have one
sixteenth or more of Mongolian blood
shall be unlawful and such marriage
shall be void.
"Any person who is a party to any
such marriage or who knowingly per-
forms a marriage ceremony to which
such persons are a party shall upon
conviction thereof be punished by a
fine of not to exceed $4,000 or by
Imprisonment of not to exceed ten
years."

COFFEE SMEAR BACKFIRES
ON TACOMA BUILDER

The youthful Olson repeated the
testimony given earlier by Coffee that
Anderson had said he'd "long wanted
to do little something to help out
in our campaign expenditures"
When Ferguson leaned over the
table with finger outthrust asking if
Olson didn't know that accepting con-
tributions from a war contractor was
in violation of federal law, Olson
sweepingly denied that it was.
In an angry exchange Olson told
the Michigan Senator 81 warn you,
you are treading on very dangerous
ground"
Later Olson remarked that if ac-
cepting a voluntary contribution was
illegal "the jails are going to be full
of federal office holders" He added
that every contribution by the Pew
family to the Republican party
"would be a violation of the law"
because of the Pew's war contracts.
Ferguson roared "what do you
know about similar contributions to
The Democrats" and Senator Hugh B.
Mitchell stopped the exchange by in
sisting on getting back on the sub
ject at hand.
Later in the day, Assistant Attor-
ney General James P. McGrannery of
the Department of Justice testified he
had investigated the situation and
found that the statute of limitations
prevented taking action and that At
torney General Clark decided against
making any move. Z

Prices Soar


Street circles we find the leading
financial services viewing the future
quite hopefully, Ira said. STANDARD
& Poor's Outlook July 15 predicted
both "high corporate profits and more
liberal dividend payments" while il
an earlier issue the same investment
weekly declared: "Profits in prospect
for industrial corporations generally
over the next few years are likely to
make 1929 and 1887 look small by
comparison"
"The more realistic opinion in the
financial community" Ira said, "is
that profits of large corporations will
exceed any previous level and be
higher even than the swollen net
profits of wartime. Rising prices will
increase profit margins"
Although stock prices are expected
to join the upward trend, fear of new
wage demands and buyers strikes are
credited by Ira with keeping the
stock market within bounds. Tipofr
on big business fear of consumer
wrath and its tacit approval of the
new OPA bill came in an editorial in
Moody's Stock Survey July 8, which
said:
"We believe that some price con-
troll, particularly with respect to the
basic necessities of life, would have
it's benefits. The existence Of official
prices on food, rent, fuel, etc, would
go long way toward curbing social
unrest. Some semblance of CON
troll over manufactured goods rather
than no control would also have its
beneficial aspects, in that should
prices increase under a controlled
economy, the responsibility for the
higher cost of living would not be
placed chiefly on the manufacturer.
In other words, Ira said, under
these circumstances the government
agency-0PA or the decontrol board
could be blamed and the Congress-
men who lined up with the manufac-
turers against price control would
not be so openly exposed as enemies
of the people in the November cleo
tons"

War corruption comes into the pic
ture. That corruption would turn uI
must have been pretty much of {
foregone conclusion.
Perhaps the wonder is that there
wasn't more.
The job of war production was OF
such magnitude as we never saw be-
FORE The stupidities in Washington
were amazing. Some must have
thought that common sense was a
premium commodity.
Clerks, thrust suddenly into posi-
tions of great responsibility, wor-
shipped their routines, even when
those routines got in the way of pro-
duction needed vitally at some point
of conflict on the battle field.
Often all that was needed was to
get some paper taken from the bot
tom of pile and put on top of the
pile, where it should have been all the
time.
In getting things Strengthened out
for frantic producers there was true
service to be rendered and there was
what has come to be called "in-
fiuence."
1t was the sale of influence that
was contemplate. No such thing as
a statute of limitations ought to be
permitted to shield those who sold or
tried to sell political influence in
their nations hour of peril.
Those who know pretty much what
went on in Washington know that the
men who administered the war and
the production behind the war gen.
orally hated Influence" and did what
they could to battle it and render it
useless.
Influence" generally was found
lurking in the corners of those who
had shady deal to offer or pro-
duct over-priced or lacking in quality
or essential nature.
In many quarters the pressures of
influence were baked and stopped at
the doorway. To have a Congressman
try to put over deal was to court
disaster.

Washington (FP)-The attempt Of
a Tacoma tWash) contractor to
blackmail Rep. John Coffee o..
Wash.) before the Senate War Inves-
tigating Committee began to backfre
July 81 when the committee was told
that Contractor Eivind Anderson had
perjured himself.
Anderson, after waiting until he
believed the statute of limitations had
run out SO as to protect himself from
criminal prosecution, volunteered the
statement that he paid Coffee's for
mer secretary, Paul A. Olson of Ia
coma, $2,500 in check for services
in obtaining hospital contract at
Fort Lewis, Wash.
Both Coffee and Olson swore under
oath that Anderson's check was a
voluntary contribution to Coffee's
campaign fund, and this was backed
up later by the appearance of Viii
lard C. Rushlight, Portland (Ore.)
contractor.
Rushlight, who held a sub-contract
under Anderson in the Fort Lewis
hospital project, told the committee
that he and Anderson agreed to pay
$4,000 each to Charles C. Hall, a
Portland lawyer, to represent them
in Washington in connection with the
project.
The witness testified that during
the construction of the project can
derson told me at Fort Lewis that he
had made campaign contribution to
Coffee and asked what | thought
about it."
Rushlight said he was not told the
amount of the contribution, but in
sisted when asked by Sen. James
Mead 3D., N. Y.) chairman of the
committee that Anderson had said he
had made contribution.
Senator Homer Ferguson is taking
the lead in grilling the witnesses,
hoping to bring out something of po-
litical advantage to the COP.
Olson, his confidence bubbling over,
took the witness stand to charge that
that story of the $1,000 Anderson
check was first publicized by former
Mayor Harry P. Cain of Tacoma dur
ing the recent primary there.
A candidate. for mayor in the pri-
mary against Anderson, Olson said
the contractor tried to get him to
withdraw from the race because of
the check incident. "He attempted to
blackmail me into withdrawing from
the race" Olson charged. al said
there is nothing wrong with that
check, and you know it."
Olson also brought political angle
into the case when he testified that
Anderson is a known Republican
and had no motive other than do all
the political damage he could to me
and later to Congressman Coffee"
