Aiken May Head
Committee On Labor
(AFL News Service)

Washington, D. CT appeared
likely here in informed quarters
that Senator George D. Aiken (R-
Vt.), liberal Republican and long
y a strong friend of the American
Federation of Labor, will become
chairman of the Senate Education
and Labor Committee when Con-
gress is reorganized. Though Sen
ator Robert Taft (R-Ohio) is the
ranking member of this commit
tee he occupied the same position
on the Senate Finance group and
is reported to have shown a pref
erence to head the latter.
Senator Wayne Morse (R-Oreg),
another liberal and close friend of
organized labor, also is member
of the Labor Committee.
The influence of these two inn
portant members may do much to
head off or whittle down proposals
known to be planned by other
members which would be harmful
to labor.

an elusive thing, not to be reach
ed by the method of an engineer,
but by perseverance, patience and
love and understanding. Many seek
it all their lives without ever find
ing it. Just at the height or pin,
nacle of our happiness, whether 1t
be success, love or business there
is something that comes along and
reminds us that there is a Higher
Happiness or a Supreme Being
somewhere, that we must not
overlook. The search for the ideal
balance between our immediate
desires and our ultimate hopes in
relationship to the happiness OF
ourselves and of all mankind IS
one which has taxed and worried
the intelligence of mankind from
the beginning of time. In the
course of events there has arisen
great thinkers or great influences
or the founders of our great world
religions, Mohammed, Christ, Bud
dha and others, but these three
think are or were the greatest.
These have formulated plans of
living to rely on to promote the
greater happiness of all mankind.
Regardless of race, creed or color.
These prophets illustrated their
creeds by living the lives they ad-
vocated. They suffered and sac
rificed for their beliefs and causes
Just as our foreparentS, theePil-
grims, suffered to come over here
on the Mayflower to worship God
as felt, and as our old mothers and
fathers since the Mayflower in the
days of slavery would suffer many
a whipping or flogging if caught
praying or singing. Yet the great
est songs of America are the Ne
gro Spirituals. They too, illus
trated their creeds by their living
faith and sacrifice. Let's send out
the best that there is in us for the
progress and peace of humanity,
or all mankind. In God we are all
one. Bye-noW. Until - then =
