dom. They were aware of the sword of righteous justice in the salvation of Jesus Gospel. They believe in the Gospel of Love, but they have never been shown how to put their gospel into practical operation nor encouraged to do so. Contented and undisturbed, seg- regated and jim-crowed, black and white southerners under the most miserable, poverty-stricken, cir cumstances have peaceably sat by their Bibles and waited for the Kingdom of God to descend auto matically. Never once has it dawned on them that they must help to bring it. Never have they realized that The Almighty expects everyone to be at his post actively fighting, and working for the coming of his Kingdom here on earth. If the CIO organizers are wise they will catch the zeal from the Gospel of Jesus itself. It is actually more powerful and pene- trating than any propaganda they themselves can devise. It will open the Away" for God to work through His people to make them free at last," free-from-hate free from-poverty, and ignorance. It will teach them how to use their religion for their own advance ment as it was intended. It will make them smash the color line, and unite for their common good. When religion like this breaks loose and becomes the driving force behind men and women, noth- ing on earth can stop it.
 Large areas of the hymn-singing, hallelujah..-..shouting, ..corn-bread- eating Southland, white and black, are unploughed fertile soil for a spark of liberal, religious dyna- , mite which can blow crackerdom into oblivion. It is very likely that once the ClO and the liberal, democratic forces of the South un- derstand and use intelligently the power of Bib1e-Belt Salvation to enlist Gods people in bringing the Kingdom nearer, Operation
 Dixie" will be assured of success. Prayerfully we await results. Con- :, fidently we expect in the not too distant future more joyously than ever to celebrate a truly glorious V-D Day (Victory over Dixie) in Atlanta, St. Louis, New Orleans, Savannah, Mobile, Asheville and points South.

OPERATION DIXIE" AND BIBLEBELT SALVATION

Civil War number two has start ed down South, and the final de cision as to who wins may go to whatever side is properly aware of the religious beliefs of the peo- pie there. The popular slang-name among labor-unionists for the cur rent, determined, courageous drive of the CIO to organize the South is Operation Dixie" The brand new rip-roaring war is not to be military, not a shot and shell cam paign, but a psychological war fought out with ideas. Liberals ev anywhere are glad to see this CIO drive get underway. With over one million dollars in it's war-chest and one hundred and fifty organizers in the field it is ready to fight to the bitter end to organize the great untapped reserves of white and black Southern workers into unions.
 Cracker-o-crats, ..lynch-o-crats, race baiters, and native fascists all over the country shriek blue murder as they recognize the handwriting on the wall. These devils are already preparing to stage a last-ditch fight. Although the A. F. of l.. reluctantly watch es Operation Dixie," it is forced to join with John IL. Lewis in or der to compete with the CIO for southern organized labor. The ob- jective of both unions is the same: organize, organize; result:-wake up the South. Some frantic heads are going to fall when these peo- pie start to vote. Negotiating, poll-tax politicians like Bilbo, Rankin and Eastland scurry for their lives. Least of all do they want to see black and white men unite. Never! Such organization means the end of white supremacy politics! It means the revolution ary entrance of better conditions for Negroes as well as poor whites. Cracker-politicians and mill own CTS will fight it to the death.
 Now the South is a Bible-read- ing, scripture-quOting country This can be a positive advantage or a decisive disadvantage to the cause of liberalism. Many of these people are very familiar with the great spiritual figures of the Bible and the revolutionary teachings of the prophets of Israel for free

US like thls: the coal mlners are the most underpaid, over worked laborers to be found in the average large-scale American in dustry today. They work some times miles underground under conditions that most people would refuse to stand for an hour. From
Hartford chronicle., 1946-05-11


 pected, the widespread strikes in the coal mines have provided an- other occasion for the nations loud-mouthed weak-brains, many of them holding down elected posts in the United States Con- gress, to burst back onto the front pages with their vicious, unwar- ranted attacks on Labor and the People. With deadly monotony, they use the same routines they have employed for years; they are not attacking Labor, they say, they are after John l.. Lewis; they are not against adequate wages, disqualification and a secure, hap py life for the miners; no, they think that the miners should cer- tainly have these things. It's only that they think the miners would have more of them under the bene- volent ministrations of the mine owners.
 It's All a Lot of Hooey
 Not only is their line monoton- ous, it's corny. 1t could be shrugged off like all other forms of 'corn,' except for the fact that in every outburst they gather in new elements from the threading, minimizing ones among us, who become panicky at the thought of few evenings of discomfort with less coal for the furnace, or be- come petulant if a coal shortage forces us to miss a train. These windbags know some of us think less than we might, and they play to that grandstand. Believe me, their line smells. Or, don't believe me; look at the men who spout he line. Who rushed into Congress with spanking brand new bunch of bills to restrict Labor in it's fight for it's rights? Was it the the Adam Powells, the Claude Peppers, the other Congressman who have been fight ing all along for the best interests of the people? Not at all; it was the vitriolic, vituperative Howard Smith of Virginia, the other Smith of New Jersey; men who belong to the prostituted school of Chamber of Commerce and National Asso-. citation of Manufacturers legisla- tors; Taft of Ohio, who has an unbroken record of assaults on progressive bills covering 20 years. These are. the men you will find bending your ears about the poor miners who are. being duped by John L. Lewis; these are the wind tanning fellows who use every strike, every struggle of labor for better conditions, to spew forth anti-labor poison like cuttlefish squirting ink in the faces of inn aginary undersea enemies on the ocean bottom. Look Underneath the Headlines
 The equally prostituted daily press, which reaps it's profits sole ly by the pennies you spend with it, but whose allegiance has ever been to the manufacturers and mine owners who buy full-page ads, has carried miles of headlines to confuse you as to the issues involved in the present strike of coal miners all over the country. But underneath those headlines even the newspapers cannot keep a certain amount of truth from coming through. What is this truth? What are these actual is sues? What is it now that pre- vents a settlement of one of the most spectacular strikes of recent years? It's Like This
 It's like this: the coal miners are the most underpaid, over worked laborers to be found in the average large-scale American in dustry today. They work some times miles underground under conditions that most people would refuse to stand for an hour. From

LIKE THIS
By MARTY RICHARDSON

the time they begin to work in the morning until quitting-time they are exposed to pneumonia laden damp, cold, and sometimes extreme heat. Lung-rasplng dust greets them after every blast to open the coal vein. They work in dim, unlighted mines where it is a miracle that the number of ac- cidents is not many times larger than it is.
 A. Battlefield Would Be a Haven s| I have been in coal mines in Ohio beside which a battlefield would be a safe haven. You can meet miners for hours and not come across a single one who has not at some time been injured in his job, has not lost or impaired the usefulness of some member of his body, whose health has not in some manner been undermined just as he undercuts a failing vein of coal. When the miner has fin ished his days work quite veri- tably in the jaws of death, he goes home to his inadequate, un- healthy shanty - owned by the company = and tries to keep up a semblance of health on an made quate, calorieless meal sold to his wife in the company store. For the miners health is something to read about in the Sunday supple ments.
 The Miners Would Protect
 Themselves .s.
 A century of mining has finally convinced even the most backward miner that the coal companies don't give a tinker's dam whether they have health or ALL die of falling rocks or tuberculosis. They know that the company-operated hospitals are interested only in patching them up enough for them to mine more coal; that public hospitals in mining towns are sen- sitive only to the pressure of what the operators want: Against this now the miners would protect themselves; they want to be like other human beings, and strangely, they think this is the country in which to do it. So they seek to have one thin dime taken from the ton of coal which costs you about fifteen dollars, and to use this dime for a health program.
 Just A Bunch of Reds
 John l.. Lewis, miners head, and the men on strike are just a bunch of red to propose such an out landish idea, the Howard Smiths and the Tafts claim. If the miners want health, let the owners give it to them, they glibly add. And to back up these philosophies, they would enact legislation to make it a crime for a man to seek royal ties flor the sake of health. It's not new; you've heard it before, in other strikes. You'll hear it again, as the reactionaries of the country, the economic Tories, bat tie against everything you pro- pose to make your lot better. But don't, under any consideration, let yourself be influenced. In spite of the fact that John L. Lewis, = himself in many ways as crummy as his opponents of the moment is the present spokesman for the miners, their cause is just. It is not only THEIR cause, it is also YOURS. The miners deserve vic tory in their present strike; you cannot guarantee them that, per haps, but at least be sure that they have your most unqualified support while they battle for it themselves,

Devastation in Reich
Cities Called Colossal
By American Editor

(Mr. Bellamy, editor OF the
Cleveland Plain Dealer and
past president OF the American
Society of Newspaper Editors,
has just returned from a trip
to Ddr-deDastated Europe. This
is the second of series OF ar
ticles in nhicI he giDes his OBJ
SerDdtionS.)
By Paul Bellomy
CLEVELAND, May IA (NANA) -
The question is often asked as to
how badly Germany was damaged.
I can offer some first-hand testi-
mony on that.
The devastation in German cities
was colossal. The worst hit places
that we saw were Berlin, Munich.
Nuremberg, Stuttgart and Frankfort.
Take Berlin, for example. Berlin
was city of magnificence, if there
ever was one.
Unter Den Linden, the Sieges ALLIE,
the House of Parliament, the Tier
garten, were all laid out on thor
oughly splendid scale.
Those parts of Berlin, like Car
thage, are utterly ruined. We
walked down Inter Den Linden and
saw the ruins of the Adlon, one of
the swankiest hostelries of Europe.
They are now trying to go back into
business with 20 rooms in one wing
of the hotel, but the main building
is utterly "kaput," to use the word
SO often employed in Europe.
Great Holes in Roof.
We visited the Reichschancellery,
in the basement of which Hitler is
supposed to have ended his life and
that OF his mistress, Eva Braun. AL
though the walls are standing, there
were great holes in the roof, all the
windows were out and every floor
had been catapulted into the base
ment.
1t has been estimated that it
would take 10 trains of SO cars
each. or 500 cars a day, working
1865 days year for 16 years, to
clear the rubble out of the central
part of Berlin so that construction
could start.
I think the Berliners will have to
give up the ruined parts of their
city any go out to the suburbs. In
time it may be that the central part
of Berlin will be covered with the
debris of time and possibly evacu-
ated 1000 years from now.
In Frankfort, before the war,
there were 520,664 rooms, not includ-
ing kitchens and baths. Today half
these rooms are totally destroyed
and another II per cent are so badly
damaged that they cannot be lived
in. The American Army, on moving
in, requisitioned all the best re-
naming buildings and there re-
mained 136,456 rooms, including en-
trance halls, for the 1865 900 Ger
