piled the additional names-Senator Burton K. Wheeler of Montana, Jim Farley, and Herbert Hoover
 Obviously none of the above had any German connections probably any idea they were to be the tools of potential enemy However some o1 them were careless say the least in the way they played into German hands.
 Senator Wheeler for instance, held various secret conferences to defend George Sylvester Vereck when on trial for sedition despite the fact that Viereck obviously was guilty Wheeler also made speech defending the late Senator Lundeen, after Lundeen was exposed for delivering speeches written for him by a German agent.
 The ease with which intelligent Americans fell into the Nazi trap s of something they want hushed up now. But the day may come when the same sort of danger faces the nation and when the public should have an example before It or what goes behind the scenes That is why Senator kll- ton.
 That is also why those great friends of the Chi cago Tribune-which also fell into the NaM trap isolationist Republican Senators Curley Brooks of Illinois and Wherry of Nebraska trying to kill the Kilgore Committee. Even Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois, Democrat, apparently thinks twice about the Tribune and doesn't want to vote the committee any real cash.
 Finally, COP. Senator Styles Bridges of New Hampshire whose state is anything but solationist, for some is trying to strange the Kilgore in- vestigation Maybe it's because Bridges is buddy of Senator Wheelers.
 
 While John L. Lewis does not pose interna- tional expert, it wouldn't have required mental giant to know that oil Davis playing awfully close to the Nazs.
 Davis shadowed in Bermuda and Portugal on his way to Berlin in 1889. And when he arrived back in Washington after his talks with Goerng, FBI covered his apartment at the Mayflower Hotel. Davis told all this to John L. Lewis at the time, whereupon Lewis picked up the phone, called Assistant Secretary of State Berle, and complained at the way Davis being shaGoWed.
 Later, Lewis called at Berle's home and discussed the whole matter with him. Despite this, Lewis stepped squarely into the DavisGoering trap to him to defeat Roosevelt in the 1940 election and al lowed Davis to pay for his famous S50O0 radio hook up in which Lewis urged labor to desert FDR.
 The chief security officer at the Oak Ridge A. bomb project has given the lie to Ernie "anti-democ racy" Adamson of the un-American Wood-Rankin Committee. The security officer has informed Chair Sabath of the House Rules Committee that he made NO hysterca statements charging the Oak Ridge scientists with being subversive. The Oak Ridge security chief also expressed the belief that AdamSon had made up his charges out of whole cloth. Louis G.

Merry -Go-Round

WASHINGTON, July 1S--It might be healthy thing if the Mead Committee investigated more Of the Edwards handed down to manufacturing firms by the Army and Navy. Senator Mead's Committee already has shown how wires were pulled by top officials to get for the Erie Basin war proflteers at the same time lesser Army officials who knew con- ditions first hand, were recommending against 1t.
 Another fshy case occurred when the Navy gave to National Industries when it and its affiliate, Durham Manufacturing Corporation, were under n- dictment for frauds The company was actually being prosecuted by U. s. District Attorney Alex Campbell at Fort Wayne, Ind, when right in the middle of the trial the Navy came across with its E.
 The trial had started in November, so the Navy knew all about the alleged war fraud when it gave the award on Dec. IT, 1945. Furthermore, the war was then over, and there no need to give the company an incentive for further production
 However someone in the Navy apparently pulled the wires, and the E award coming at just the psy choogical moment had powerful effect on the jury
 For some weeks, certain Senators have been skilfuIy pulling backstage wires to kill the Kilgore Committee which has been probing Nazi activities and their link with Americans brief and confi dential peek at what's in the Naz files now makes it quite clear why Senators secretly battling hard to squelch Senator Kilgore's investigation.
 U s. Army and Justice Department officials have been extremely busy interviewing German officials from Hermann Goering down, and the results are amazing. They show various high up American lead CTS and businessmen to be either woefully naive or else deliberately playing into the hands of a dc- tatorShip which had already started to conquer Europe and which certain to be at with us
 For instance, in Foreign Minister Ribbentrops captured files was found this revealing memo garding America Firster Charles Lindbergh: "It is better not to mention Lindbergh's name anymore He's more useful to us if we keep his name out of the press-as he has asked us to-
 Nazi officials have been quite frank in telling about their operations with Americans. Actually, statement attributed to Goerng published two weeks ago, that he ready to spend s500O000 to defeat Roosevelt in 1940 was an understatement. What Goering really said according to U. S. officials who interviewed him. that he would gladly have spent S15000000 to defeat Roosevelt if he could have been shown any good way to do it.
 Another German, Dr. Herbert Won Strempel of the German Embassy in Washing ton, when asked what the NazS had done in the way of propaganda, i responded: The biggest thing when Goering s agent came to with that plan to defeat Roosevelt"
 This was the plan involving the late w. R. Davis, and independent oil operator, who had known Goer- ing for some years sold oil to the German Navy and who told the Germans he had four Americans he could use to defeat Roosevelt in 1940
 The only this list which Goering could remember was that of John L. Lewis. However, other German officials who had been in the talks sup

Views of the Press

is bitter enemy of President Tru- man Ever since MT. Truman pro- posed that Congress conscript strik- ing railroad men and put them in uniform, MT. Whitney and his as- sociates have hated the President, and have threatened to defeat him for renomination, and, if they failed in that, to defeat him for re-elec- tion MT. Whitney's latest statement in this connection was made recent ly before House labor subcommit- tee. He said that the railway train men have $2,500 to go out after President Truman but We won't have to spend any money to defeat him if he becomes candidate. He can't be reelected"
 It is to be doubted if members of labor unions think as a unit any more than the members of other organizations do, and yet most of us have formed the habit of aSsum- ing that there is such a thing as the labor vote" and other kinds of votes. The CIO. Political Ac- tion Committee through Sidney Hillman, liked to brag about the number of votes it "controled," but that claim was pretty thoroughly exploded when the figures of the last presidential election were analysed, and it was discovered that the number of votes controlled" by CI.O.-PA,C. were not particularly numerous.
 We do not subscribe to the wide spread belief that any organization any race, any religious body either controls or dominates the votes of it's membership. We believe that the majority of American people form their own political opinions, and that it is gross error to speak too assuredly of voting "blocs' con- sisting of this or that stratum Of our heterogeneous society.
 We don't believe MT. Green $ American Federation of Labor, MT Lewis American Mine Workers (the late) MT. Hillmans CI.O. or MT. Whitney's trainmen vote sim ply and solely as members of those organizations. Their voting interests cut through many other interests and most of them, in addition to being members of labor unions also are Republicans or Democrats. And if they could all speak fully and freely to the big shots in labor, the rank and file members would say something which would sound mar velously like this: Listen, Chum you attend to union matters ano I'll vote as I damn well please, as a free American citizen, without ask ing your permission, now or any other time"

SPOILED CHILDREN
The Catholic Transcript

IThe Catholic Transcript
 A California psychiatrist seems to us to be talking sensibly indeed when he advises parents not to provide too much security for their children after the early develop ment stage" He says that there is no such thing as complete secur- ity in the world, fact which any one who has lived awhile recog- nizes as beyond question. There fore, he argues, we should aid to develop personalities capable of dealing with all situations and able to bear the stress and strain, rather than to create a social organiza- tion which relieves individuals of all necessity for strength of char acter and feeling of responsibil- ity"
 The tendency today is to give a child too much give in to him too much. and give him the idea that he is all-important, unchallenge- able. and beyond retribution The actuality of the consequences of original sin in the child and in the world where he will have to spend his adult life is forgotten or mini mixed The training, the correc- tion quite a different thing from crueltD, the discipline Cnot Syno- nym for punishment), and the in- culcation of responsibility which a child needs in order to live sue cessfully, in truly human terms, and happily, as distinct from comfort ably or pleasurably, have been gen. erally eliminated This results from a mawkishly sentimental view of youngsters, an attitude deter mined exclusively by feeling.
 To live well in this world is to | live according to law. But chill dren are given the impression that their Whims are the only law. What they happen to want, what catches their fancy, what appeals to their immature minds, their inexperienced l judgment as desirable - these they demand and, from foolish and weak parents, are today likely or certain to get But as they grow older as they deal with others. as they become adult members of society they simply cannot continue in these anarchic ways. AS St. Thomas puts it, if everyone is bent on his own wishes, society breaks down. The d-fashioned folk speak of a spoiled" child, and they are right Overindulged in formative years they are truly spoiled for careers satisfactory to themselves and help tul to the community

Living Costs Still Rising

No matter what happens either with or without Gov efnnent regulations, it perfectly clear that living costs are rising and will continue to rise Many wage work have margin of around 5 percent above their ngs result of increases in wages Government author ties In Washington to with business in large and small industries that there will be commodity price rise of possibly 25 percent this year.
 It very easy to substantate these estimates by 84e simple method of going to stores in your nunty. And you old enough you will remember that the prices of buildings and lands rebed after World War l. jqst prices running wild at the present time
 The stock market may go crazy, but if there half many crazy people after this there were after the last there will be people in every community who will wish that they had known enough not gamble with theft savings,

Mills of Congress

WASHINGTON-The fight OPA has Con- gress and the country in somewhat feverish state.
 Again hear that brain-trusters and ,leftsts" are running the Government and trying to set up some sort of planned economy, The OPA, Of course, merely furnished another excuse for that sort of hullaballoo. It is being exploited to the limit
 This howl about OPA is not convincing to most people Most citizens find their neghbors seriously concerned about inflation and these people are recognizable as 'leftists'. A good many would be labeled conservative.
 Nor does the talk about "leftism" in Government fool anybody who is familiar with the who now control the administration Under President Truman middle Of -the-road officials have supplanted the more energetic and jealous type Of who helped create and carry out the New Deal.
 There are, of course, organizations and indvid- uals outside who might be considered 'leftist' or liberal, some with a sprinkling of Communists who active in championing certain legislation including OPA extension in workable form
 The mistake Of some people who profess to judge what goes on here Is to confuse the activity and camor of outside interests with what is actually accomplished. It is purposely done in many cases That should be clearly understood.
 OPA offers example Despite the anxiety about imitation and the public demand for workable law Congress has not seen fit to adopt what many peO pie believe is neceSSary-not few "leftsts" but millions of people who could not by any stretch Of language or imagination be put in that category.
 Changes in government do not come with q wave Of the hand or barrage of propaganda. shower of statements, with a Presidential speech They come only after the mills of Congress
