 Healey To Seek Reelection
 Probate Judge Patrick Healey, top vote getter on the Democratic tick ct two years ago will again seek reelection and will be the unanim- ous choice of the party organiza- tion at the forthcoming probate convention, the date for which has not yet been established.
 The entrance of primary con- test in the 18th district is foreseen by the announced candidates of Martin Sullivan, former Democratic Alderman, and former State Sen. Joseph R. Lawlor. The latter has qualified his candidacy to the extent he will not seek the nomination should more than two others enter the picture. Also anticipated is the candidacy of former Democratic State Sen. John Tobin, who, to date, has preferred to remain silent con- corning any proposed plans.
 On the Republican side of the local picture, Atty. Edward Sweeney has announced he will seek the COP. nomination from the 18th district. Still in doubt is the possi- bility of George Casey, unsuccessful candidate for the same post two years, again seeking the nomination. Casey is believed to be receptive but will not contest for the honor.
 In the 18th District a party fac- tional feud is said to have set in among supporters and opponents to the avowed candidacy of former State Sen. Francis Sumnla. Oppon- ents to the former solon favor Will liam Black, COP. member of the Board of Police Commissioners and retired associate of the Scovill Mfg. Co. However, MT. Black is said not to be receptive to any primary con- test. Whether the opponents to former Sen. Summa will produce another candidate has not yet been determined.
 Consider Veteran
 Republicans again seeking the probate judgeship post are, said to be considering the nomination of Atty. Miles McNiff Jr., coroner, vet eran of World War II, and son of Common Pleas Court Judge Miles McNiff. It is reported that the nc-:.1- ination was offered to, but refused, former States Att. Lawrence Lewis.
 The entry of third party seems strongly indicated by reports. This is believed to be sparked by oppon- entS of the incumbent administra- tion whose opposition was born of the property revaluation program in the: city. Candidates on this slate will seek all posts, it is claimed Sources claim that the party may be combined with the Independent Democrats under the latter's ban I1er.
 To enter third party ticket this group will have to acquire the signature of one percent of the total number of voters in the elec- ton of two years ago. This will mean over 400 signatures. These then must be filed with the office of the Secretary of State six weeks prior to the scheduled election. In addition, since 1t is state cleo ton, the names of candidates and signers must be filed with the Town Clerk IS days before the filing with with the State Secretary. This years election promises to clarify many so-called issues. These include the controversial revalua- ton, the reported unrest among firemen and policemen and others It is possible also that intra-party disputes may be brought into the open.

POLITICAL PARADE

scendent Importance politically,
especially to President Truman,
the inevitable choice of his
party to succeed himself two
years hence.
The Democrats must first
maintain their hold upon Con-
gress at the elections in No
vember. They are counting
heavily upon the success of
President Roosevelts United
Nations to carry the country
with them into internationalism.
That is why Byrnes made
such sacrifices at Moscow 10

SECRETARY BYRNES KNEW
- Gen. Macarthur was opposed to
a four power system of control, be
cause it would impair his powers
and obstruct his administration.
Secretary Byrnes committed the
United States to the system at Mos
cow DESPITE the opposition and
objections Of Gen. Macarthur.
Of course Gen. Macarthur, being
a good soldier as we'll as a competent
administrator, now agrees to make
the best of the situation to the best
of his ability.
"Whateuer the merits or de-
merits of the plan il is my firm
intent tUithin the authority entrusted
to me to try to make ii work." he
pledges.
But Gen. Macarthur knows well
enough, and warned the state depart
ment urgently and in sufficient time,
that the tasks of occupation and ad-
ministration have been made un.
necessarily and unreasonably difficult
and almost certainly IMPOSSIBLE.
CECRETARY BYRNES made this
~ agreement in Moscow, not be-
cause it was in accord with American
interest, but because it was in accord
with RUSSIAN interest.
And what IS the Russian interest
in Japan?
Why, simply and obviously to
COMMUNIZE Japan and ultimately
to incorporate Japan into the RED
FASCIST EMPIRE OF BOLSHE-
Visit RUSSIA
Secretary Byrnes has AP-
PEASED Russia.
In doing so, he has not only OBJ
structed the administration of Gen.
Macarthur and impaired and under
mined his powers, but he has grossly
Haunted and personally Inundated
the man whose military genius
played so vital a part in the winning
of the Pacific war-the one man who
KNOWS BEST the japanese prob
lem and is most capable of solving it.

did Stain craftily minimize
what Byrnes was so eager 10
build up.
S FOR President Truman.
"A product as he is Of the
Middle West. he must look 10
an eastern state, with a large
bloc of electoral votes, for a
running mate.
New York is the obvious smart
political choice, and the situa-
tion there gives the Democratic
high command hope that by the
selection of a strong, compro-
mise gubernatorial candidate,
Dewey can be eliminated. and A
made-to-order candidate pro-
vided for second place on the
194S national ticket.
That is where Justice jack
son enters the picture. He has

Detroit evening times., 1946-01-03

DY FORCE, or unilateral action, Soviet
ID Russia is exercising the prerogatlves
of dictator in Poland, eastern Germany,
Czecho-Slovakia and the Balkan nations
and in addition, assuming dominant
anti-democratic position in eastern ASIA.
While screaming loudly against an
imaginary west bloc" this same nation
has set up a chain of dominated states
from the North Sea to the Pacific Ocean.
Square this sort of thing, if you can,
with the principles of freedom and self
determination for all peoples so forcefully
expressed by the late President Roosevelt
during all the years he was leading an
inspired people to final and conclusive
victory.
Reconcile, if you can, the present situ-
alton in Bulgaria, Yugo-Slavia and Ro-
mania-where millions of people are sut-
fering and starving under Soviet-imposed
dictatorships with Americas promise
that the right of self-government would
be accorded to all nations liberated from
Hitler's domination.
THE American Federation of Labor has
. raised its voice in protest against
these expressions for the same funda-
mental ideals of liberty and justice on
which it protested against the aggressions
of Hitler and Mussolini for years prior
to the start of World War ii.
We shall continue to raise our voices
in protest. We shall continue to fight for
world system of Justice in which right,
not might, will govern relations between
the peoples of the world.
No one need try to tell u.s. as certain
people are telling American leaders OF
political life and thought, that we must
not speak out frankly against the evils
we see in the recent actions OF Soviet
Russia, lest such utterances ''worsen re-
lations" between our two countries
That is ridiculous nonsense
To pretend that we do not know that
millions of people in eastern Europe are
today victims of dictatorlal tyranny
with all the old familiar trappings used
by Hitler and his mob would be an act
of national hypocrisy.
WE HAVE nothing to gain by refus-
w ing to acknowledge the facts in re-
gard to the lone-wolf foreign policy of
Soviet Russia
A great many Americans are puzzled
today about our country's relations with
Russia and our attitude toward the Com
munists.
The great majority are frankly unable
to decide what the aims of the Soviets
are and what our American program
should be-
There are many earnest citizens who
believe that Russia is bent on the tradi-
tional aim of world revolution for COM
munism or on frankly imperialistic
nationalism.
Another and far smaller group assert
that every one is out of step but Russia, ="
and that any opposition to any Soviet aim
is primd f0cie evidence of fascism.

Good Work. Boys

The total sales for the nation have
not as yet been announced, but an
idea of the vastness of the amount
may be gained from the fact that
Detroit Times carriers alone, since
Pearl Harbor, have sold 29,870,708
10-cent stamps.
Congratulations, boys, on re-
sponsible task so magnificently per-
formed.
Detroit evening times., 1946-01-03

VXTITHIN the 100000 members of
w organized labor there are some of
the latter
There are some actual and mental
foreigners among those millions, and as
rule they make more noise than those
in the majority.
Even in those few notorious unions
which are Communist dominated, the
actual number of Communists is very
small in proportion to the total men,
bership.
But the "commies' do not indulge in
the luxury of differences among them
selves
They have their orders to carry out
and they organize their forces with tirm
discipline to vote yes or no and sometimes
even yes and no.
They spawn front organizations in
great profusion.
They have paper outfits for every one
Of the scores of campaigns upon which
they are engaged at any time.
Back in early June, 1941, they had one
called 1.-THE Yanks Are Not Coming"
4 FFER the Nazis broke the Hitler
n Stain pact by invading Russia, they
became military experts and demanded
the immediate opening of a second front.
What few days before had been an
imperialistc war which we should stay
out of suddenly became peoples war
against Fascist imperialism into which
we should enter at once.
The Communist party front organiza-
tons would be useless, however, if there
were no dupes.
This country has thousands of good
people whose hearts burn at injustice and
whose minds seldom are bothered by
checking upon facts
They are persuaded to sign resolutions,
write their congressman, join organiza-
tons and raise funds for the Communists
to spend.
Even in labor unions they use stooges.
They bring in resolutions denouncing
oppression of labor in XYZ land, and stpce
every one in labor union is against OPP
preston, the resolution usually slides
through
TNHEN the Daily Worker and perhaps
Il Pravda and the Russian radio are
apt to announce that another American
labor union has denounced the reactionary
imperiaiist program which Mr. Red-bait-
ing so-and-so is trying to develop in
Fascist style.
That's the way they operate -.
1t is time that our government talked
matters over plainly with the Russians
and made it clear we do not want to push
them around or let them push us around.
We want peace, but we don't want
peace at the price of having commissars
giving orders at the White House.
If the Russians are sincere in their
asserted desire for peace and world CO.
operation they ought TO welcome frank
and sincere talk along those lines.
The greatest contribution that our gov
ernment can make at this time to the
cause of world peace would be to lay
our cards on the table and ask Russia
TO do likewise
