Anti Closed Shop Measure

Despite the cry that the anti-closed
shop law was a stab in the back" of
labor, the state Senate passed the
measure, already adopted by the house,
with the capital corridors and galleries
thronged with labor leaders and fol-
lowers.
The law, which does not affect exist
ing contracts, will go into effect on
July l next, when all contract renewals
will be subject to it's provisions.
AS for the stab in the back" plant.
heard so volubly while the Senate was
taking its vote, the measure is quite
the contrary. 1t does not interfere with
any union laborer on any job, but mere
ly guarantees that n~on-union laborers
Shall have equal opportunity to work
in any plant if capable of performing
the duties assigned him.
The fact is, the measure takes the
knife out Of the back of the n%on-uniob
worker, who has been at such a disad-
vantage in recent years, when he must
either JOIN a unicn-and pay a high
price for initiation-or go jobless.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-03-15

Senate seemed to make particularly
good sense.
The formers views were in inter
esting contrast to Mr.. Lewis's. For
the UNIV president showed an appar-
ent lack of any sense of public respon-
sibility. His only answer to whether
he had the right to tie up the whole
country's economy was a plea for fair
treatment of the miners" - which
might be translated as complete sur
render to his annual contract demands.
Mr.. Schatte's plea for congressional
help in the Hollywood strike served to
re-emphasize the inability or unwilling
ness of some union leaders to settle
their disputes without economic dam
age and physical violence.
It is too bad that, because of GER
tain individuals responsibility, Con-
gress must consider enacting laws
which perhaps are theoretically unsound
and unjust. But since present laws per-
nit a selfish disregard Of public well
fare, there seems to be no solution ex-
cept to impose some restrictions. It is
up to Congress to proceed wisely in
drafting legislation which will curb the
opportunities for needless dictatorship
without in.juring the rights etaoinn
and file and their responsible leaders.

Last Registration Day

Today is the last on which New Han
over county and Wilmington city vot-
ers may register for the forthcoming
election on a junior college and tu-
berculosis sanatorium.
While it is important that a repre-
sentative group of voters determine
whether these greatly needed i%nstitu-
tons shall be established here, it is also
important that everybody who registers
visit the polls on election day and cast
ballots.
This is not the usual form Of election
when a majority Of the vote cast settles
the issue before the electorate. 1t is
a vote against the registration, when a
majority of all registered persons must
cast favorable ballots to assure a VIC
tory.
AS both the junior college and the
sanatorium are essential, one in the
educational advantages to be offered
young people of southeastern North
Carolina, and the other in the health of
the greater community, it is urged that
the forces which endorsed the college
when the project was placed before the
Board of County Commissioners, and
all their friends eligible to vote, take
particular pains to register and ther
cast their ballots for both institutions

Admiration vs.. Popularity

One OF the most interesting cues.
tons in DR.. George Gallup's whole bag
OF qulzzes is: What person living to-
day IN any part of the world do Won
ADMIRE most?" And American public
opinion, always unpredictable, is never
more battling than when it provides
the answer.
This is not meant as any reflection
on zen. Douglas Macarthur, who has
been the winner in the last two wears.
IL is simply that most of us, if asked
70 give a guess as to Americas No. l
pln-up boy without Doctor Gallup's aid,
would come up with a different answer.
General MacArthur's popularity as
sets are not hard to find. His role in
the war was unmatched for sustained
drama. The long struggle back from
defeat, accomplished with consum.
mate skill against tremendous odds
was something to fire imagination. AnC
certainly the generals colorful person.
Atty and handsome presence do not de
tract from his popular appeal.
Yet General Macarthur has not Sc
loot on continental American soil il
many years. His present assignment
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-03-15

is a passive one. It is safe to say that
few of hi admirer have ever seen him.
So it must be that Americans graf
itude and admiration are less tickle
than we might sometimes suppose.
This conclusion is borne out by the fact
that for the second straight year Gen.
DWIGHT Eisenhower took second place
in the poll.
But what of the other names in
the top ten on the Gallup list? They
are Winston Churchill, Harry S. Tru-
man, George C. Marshall, Eleanor
Roosevelt, James Byrnes, Pope Plus
XII, Sister Kenny, and Thomas B..
Dewey, in that order.
Last year Mr.. Churchill was in fifth
place, behind President Truman and
Mrs. Roosevelt. Now, a year farther re-
moved from Britain's highest office
and the object of increased criticism
at home and abroad, his American pop
ularity has increased.
Last year Henry A. Wallace and
Harold Stassen were among the top
ten. Have Americans grown more con-
s~ervative in the past II months? Be-
fore an answer is made it should also
be noted that Herbert Hoover, who
held sixth place on last years list,
is now missing.
There are other items of interest.
Last year Mr.. Byrnes as Secretary of
State, was in tenth place. Now, retired,
he is in seventh, ahead Of Pope Plus,
whose name did not appear in last
years first ten.
The current appearance of General
MarshalPs name is not hard to explain.
But why Sister Kenny? She did moth
ing so new and spectacular in 1916 as
to account for this sudden notice. May
be she should thank Rosalind Russell
and Hollywood tor her present emil
nence in the public esteem.
We don't know what all this proves.
About the only thing we're sure of is
that we made a mistake above in speak
ing about popularity Popularity and
admiration aren't the same thing. Cen
eral Macarthur might have trouble in
out-drawing Bob Hope in the same
town on the same night. And some
would probably pass up a speech by Mr..
Churchill to see Bob Feller pitch against
the Red Sox.
Perhaps the chief difference is that
the popular heroes get rich, while the
admired heroes get to paste Gallup Poll
clippings in their scrapbooks.

Why Labor Control Is Needed

Fiorello La Guardia, ex-mayor of
New York and former congressman,
and Oscar Senate, a union carpenter
from Hollywood, had some interesting
things to say to the two congressional
labor committees last week. Their
views were particularly interesting
since they came only one day after
John L. Lewis had aired his views on
labor legislation before the Senate
labor group.
Mr.. La Guardia was co-sponsor of
the Norris-La Guardia Act of Is years
ago which prohibited court injunctions
in labor disputes except in extraor-
binary circumstances. This law has
been much in the news recently in CON
@nection with the court action involving
Mr.. Lewis and his United Mine
Workers.
It was the contention of the Lewis
lawyers that a Federal Court injunc-
ton against the union was illegal, ever
when the government was operating
the mines. The dissenting Supreme
Court justices leaned toward the same
view in the recent Lewis decision.
But MIR. La Guardia expressed sur
prise at all the controversy. To him,
the public interest obviously came first.
Not only did he consider government
possession of the mines an "extraor-
binary circumstance" which justified
the I'M junction. But he also suggested
to the senator's that the government
be given power to seize essential indus
tries in peacetime when circumstances
warranted.
Mr.. Schatt had no suggestions for
legislation. He simply asked the House
Labor Committee for an investigation
of the two-year-old jurisdictional dis
pute of movie studio carpenters and
of the shameful and shocking violence
which has accompanied it.
He told of sluggings and beatings
and of threats against his own life for
telling the congressman his story. And
he agreed with a California representa-
tive that the strike was "a contest for
dictatorship of AFL unions in. Holly

We have already told you how

Remember that a loop in a rope
is called a blight Remember,

we use only n end of a rope;

case there are two ENDS and
two standing parts"
Our first picture shows the Car
rick bend. which is rather COM
plicated. 1t is made with two
ropes or with two ends Of one
rope. We first make a blight of
end No. /, round the standing
part of No. !. over the standing
part of No. 2, and through the
blight. over the end of No. l,
round the standing part of No. /,
over the standing part of No. 2,
and through the blight again. both
parts coming out of the blight at
different sides. The figures in the

Now we come to the Flemish
loop. which is made with one end
only. First we make a common
