Governor Gusts Governor

ATLANTA, (P) - Herman Tal- madge seized complete control of Georgia's capitol today and forced Ellie Arnall to move to a down town office building.
 Arnall, who has been governor for the past four years and claims he is still the states legal execu- tive despite the state legislatures naming of Talmadge, announced his intention to establish the Ar nall capitol downtown after a brief encounter with a Talmadge lieutenant at the state house.
 The Talmadge lieutenant, State Rep. Jimmy Dykes, earlier had seized the desk in the capitol TO- tunda which Arnall occupied yes terday after being excluded from the executive chambers.
 Arnall strode up to Rep. Dykes desk and said Jimmie, I'm gover- nor."
 Dykes interrupted to say Ellis Arnall, you remind me of a hog. You got your head in the trough and you just cant stop"
 Arnall asked Have you taken my officer"
 Dykes replied "I have, I'm re- fusing to let you sit here. You have no more right to be governor than I have"
 Arnall retorted Well, let's sec '
 Then, turning to the press, and speaking into a radio microphone Arnall said "To the people of GeOrgie-as governor of Georgia, I have been denied access to the state capitol building. ."
 Dykes shouted That's a lie"
 Arnall continued:
 today, denied access to my office in the rotunda of the capitol. In order not to discredit the people of Georgia and to ere ate disturbance, I'm moving to 1407 Candler building Gin down town Atlanta there to function as chief executive"

u. S. Seeks To
Revive Lea Act

Chicago (FP)-The government
is appealing to the U. S. supreme
court to pump legal life back into
the Lea act, ruled unconstitutional
by federal judge here in case
involving President James G. Pc
trillo of the American Federation
Of Musicians.
The appeal, filed Dec. 26 by As
sistant U. S. District Attorney Le-
roy Krein, asked the high tribunal
to reverse a decision by Federal
Judge Walter j. LaBuy dismissing
a criminal information against
Petrillo. The suit, brought by the
government, had charged Petrillo
.ith coercing Chicago radio sta
n into hiring more persons than
II needed in violation of the Lea
act.
Pointing out that the act was the
result of repeated congressional in
vestigations from 1912 to 1915, the
governments appeal said: "The
very fact that the decision here
nullifies an act which Congress
deemed necessary for the welfare
Of the nation in itself establishes
the substantially of the constitu-
tional question involved"

u. S. Seamen Imprisoned

New York (FP) - Members of
American unions are being impris-
oned in China under Chinese law
since the U. S. withdrew its ex-
traterritorial rights from that
country, the United Seamens
Service revealed here.
A USS staff member in Shang-
hal reported the arrest in the past
few months of 10 American sea-
men including members of both
AFL and CIO unions.
Since withdrawal Of U. S. extra
territorial rights during the, war,
American seamen going ashore in
China are informed that they are
under the jurisdiction of Chinese
laws and Chinese courts. Unfamil-
lar with these laws, the seamen
frequently violate them and incur
penalties ranging from revocation
of papers to Imprisonment.
Prison conditions are ''worse
than Americas worst" the USS
staff member reported, with diet
of dry bread and watery soup, un-
conditions and widespread
of contagious diseases.

Senofe's Closed
Shop Foe Proved
A DoubIecrosser

Minneapolis (LPA) - Senator
Joseph H. Ball, who has appointed
himself as a one-man crusader to
save the nation from the peril of
the closed shop, was disclosed last
week as double-crusader. Ball,
according to President Robert A..
Olson, of the State Federation Of
Labor, double-crossed himself.
Quoting Ball against himself,
Olson cited a speech Ball made in
the Senate on Feb. 10, 1941 in
which the Minnesota Congressman
opposed closed shop features of a
bill introduced by Chairman Vim
son of the House Naval Affairs
Committee. Said Ball, "The unions,
which have fought long and hard
for closed-shop agreements would
resent such a provision bitterly. |
think it would increase industrial
strife rather than promote har-
mony in labor relations"
Olson inquired, "What h $
caused this man who wants to look
like Lincoln make such complete
turn about on a subject that today
is the same as it was in 1941?
"The Joe Ball we knew around
st. Paul." said Olson, twas a
pretty fair man in his thinking on
labor subjects. He was one of the
hardest fighters in the Newspaper
Guild for a closed shop in the
editorial offices. But
now he finds the closed or union
shop bad thing for the working
people of America. | hardly believe
it when | say it, but it strikes me
that Joe Ball has fallen for the
wiles of the National Association
of Manufacturers. He no longer
belongs to the people of his state
or his country.

Comment On World Events

tries of the world, except Spain
and Japan, may be sent into all 4
occupation zones.
On that date this one way serv-
ice will be extended to Berlin and
the Soviet zone. The Russians were
the last to authorize it for their
zone and did so after months of
negotiation in 4-power coucils here.
Food for destitute Germans
from this and other nations will be
big help in aiding democracy in
Germany, as starving people are
often easy victims of Communist
and other totalitarian propaganda.
Gift relief parcel service from
the United States was instituted
for the American occupation zone
last June and subsequently was ex-
tended to the British and French
zones. Up to Dec. 27, 100000
parcels had been received for dis
tribution to German addresses.
Only one gift parcel a week may
be sent by or on behalf of the
SAINT sender to or for the same adj
dressee. Contents are limited to
such relief items as non-perishable

That's me and his mother, on a
Sunday just after church, when we

"And how long does the council
null over the matter?" asked
Stinky.

said Mr.. Dilworth. "But of course,
when it eventually does hand down
a decision, if Luther hasn't forgot
what his grievance was about, he
can go one step further-if he

"An impartial going over,
PERIOD" suggested Stinky.
"Why, the door to my woodshed
is always open; he can step in any

"We've heard of the open wood

grievance settled, or do you get

Blasts PROPOSED
To Bor Congress
Voting Records

Washington (FP) - frustrated
by their inability to find any
breach of election laws by labor
and liberal groups, the House cam
paign expenditures committee ap-
parently decided to propose laws
which progressives will have to
break-but Senator Glen Taylor
is going to give them a battle.
1t started with a statement by
Representative Carl Curtis, who
has a backed anti-labor vot-
ing record in the House second to
none. He told newsmen the COM
mittee would propose to Congress
changing the Corrupt Practices
unions to compile voting records
of members of Congress and pay
for having them printed andscir-
culated."
Taylor, well known for his pro-
labor voting record, and holder of
a card in the Sheet Metal Workers
International Association, immedi-
ately blasted the Curtis proposal
as Shocking to all believers in
constitutional democracy. 1t will be
a sad day for America when its
Congress functions in dark and
secret sissions."
Declaring he would flight to the
last" against such a blackout of
press freedom, Taylor said: "Fa-
miliarity with the record is indis-
pensible to intelligent voting. The
recent trend toward publication of
voting records is healthy and en-
couraging sign for the future of
our country. l hope this trend will
grow and that the public will be-
come increasingly familiar with
what its congressman are doing"
Taylor called attention to reso-
luton he introduced in the Senate
last summer calling for the Con-
gress itself to have an official vot-
ing record printed, 81 plan to re-
introduce it next month";" he said.

Cdnno+ Impose
Time Limit In
Portal Suits

Milwaukee, Wis. (FP) - Claims
for retroactive portal-to-portal pay
received tremendous boost here
when U. S. district court ruled
unconstitutional a Wisconsin law
imposing a 2-year limitation on
claims arising under federal stat
utes.
The case arose from the suit for
back wages brought by John
Kampe against the Michael Yundt
Co. of Waukesha. Kampe is seek
ing pay under the wage-hour act
for 1,715 overtime hours at the
rate of time-and-a-half for work
performed between June 1912 and
March 1916.
The company contended that un-
der a Wisconsin law passed in
August 1915 Kampe could not go
back more than two years in his
suit, which is pending trial. The
wage and hour and public con-
tracts divisions of the Department
of Labor entered the case as
friends of the court, maintaining
that the Wisconsin law was un-
constitutional.
Judge f. Ryan Duffy upheld
their contention, ruling that "a
state statute may not discriminate
against rights arising under fed
eral laws"
Several states either have, or
are reported considering similar
laws in an effort to curb employ
ers' liabilities in suits for back
portal-to-portal pay which have re-
Gently been instituted as the result
of a ruling of the U. S. supreme
court in the Mt. Clemens Pottery
case.
Such suits already total more
than $615 million and may event
ually amount to several billion, it
is believed.

NMU Backs
Jos. Currun' S
Resignation

New York (FP) - A general
membership meeting Of the Ma
tional Maritime Union here Dec.
30 overwhelmingly indorsed the
resignation Of its president, Joseph
Curran, as co-chairman Of the
Committee for Maritime Unity.
After a 4Il-hour session the
$500 attending members voted by
show of hands that supported
Curran's action roughly three to
one.
In the course Of discussion Cur
ran restated his reasons for re-
signing his co-chairmanship of the
GNU with Pre- j d ent sHarry
Bridges Of the international Long
shoremen's & Warehouseme1's
Union. He contended the NMU,
largest member of the 7-union
committee, has been consistently
outvoted and compelled to support
jurisdictional fights against west
coast AFL unions which it did not
indorse.
Curran asked for and received
support for NMU participation in
meeting in Washington with
leaders Of AFL and independent
maritime unions to discuss uni
fled action on legislative matters.
Secretary-Treasurer Harry Lunde-
berg of the Sailors Union of the
Pacific indicated in recent talks
with Curran that he would partici-
pate in such a meeting only if
longshore organizations were ex-
cluded.

1t has been charged for many
months that the Russians are seek
ing control Of the German labor
movement. Now comes Irving j.
Brown, European representative of
the American Federation Of Labor
to say the same thing. Brown has
studied the labor and economic
situation in Germany at first hand
and. ought to know what he is talk
ing about.
Brown announced in Paris that
he had directed the attention of the
L. s. State Department to what he
considered an effort by the Rus
SLAMS to boss the German trade
unions. He contended that success
Of this effort would large offset
whatever the United States did on
the political level now and March
when the Big Four will meet to
decide the future Of Germany.
Brown said he had protested
against acceptance by Leo Werts,
ma anpower director under the
United States Military Goxern-
ment in Germany, Of an invitation
Of the World Federation Of Trade
Unions to meet with the manpower
chiefs Of other zones in Paris re-
Gently to discuss the affiliation Of
German unions with the federation.
He said the federation had sought
to unity German trade union under
Communist leadership and Russian
influence.
According to the AFL represen-
tative the German unions in the
Russian zone list 3,5C0,C00 mem
bers, more than half Of the mem
bers Of unions in the three other
zones. Unification Of the unions
within all Germany would create
an important political instrument
of Moscow, he pointed out.
Mr.. Browns charges are not
good news, foreshadowing trouble
if the Russians persist in their ef-
forts to rule German labor. To
partly offset it, word comes from
Berlin that effective Jan. Is, parcel !

shoulders, straight lines, high
collar and double row of carved
buttons running almost the full
length of the coat.
A flared gold coat of hip length
boasted rolled lapels which curved
toward the back. The curved lines
were repeated on the double TERED
pockets. A gold chateline crossed
from one lapel to the other.
A champagne colored suit had
rather short jacket which was fit
ted over the hips and bloused out
above the waist which was circled
with a gold kid belt. Shirtwaist
sleeves were buttoned in gold and
the model wore gold kid sandals

WOMEN
Women are in the midst of
tremendous war today. They are
on a battle front across the nation.
Their fight is against initiation in
the form of skyrocketing prices.
Their job is to "let it alone" if and
when it costs too much.
In some cities women are doing
a big job in an organized way. In
others they are just going along
as individuals, trying to make de-
cisions that will permit their fami-
lies to live fairly well, without a
surrender to the fantastic price
tag that may be on the item they
really want.
In some cities Consumers Coun-
ellis have been organized and plan
ned campaigns are being waged.
Women, who spend most of the
money in stores, are pushed into
the front of this fight whether
they like it or not. In most cases
there is just so much money to
spend-and no more.
When that $50 much" is gone,
there isn't any more. That is the
big reason why women are forced
to do battle in the mass war on in
flation.
In the communities there is
planned attack-this week on one
item; next week on another. 1t gets
results. Generally it is planned to
center the fight on some perish
able item.
In one city the element of sec
recy and suspense has been inject
ed. Three objectives have been
made public in one, two, three
order. 1t is announced that the
complete program will contain
seven detectives, four to follow the
first three. The seven points are
secret, and will be announced one
by one only after the first three
have been used. This plan leaves
dealers in all lines plenty of time
to wonder where and how high
prices will be hit down through
that list Of seven unknown points
of battle.
Women are bestirring them
selves for better pay and status in
two fields not hitherto noted for |
activity. These are teaching and |
social work.
In both of these professions wo-
men have been expected to work
partly for the love of the job.
But skyrocketing prices have
changed that picture and the bed
rock business of maintaining living
standards has forced it's way into
he picture. In both of these pro-
fessions low pay has been tradi-

BY MARY MOORE
HAVE YOU HEARD?

The Emergency Maternity and
Infant Care program, operating in
all the states, District of Columbia,
Alaska, Hawaii and Puerto Rico,
administered by State Health de-
partments under the U. S. Chill
dren's Bureau supervision, is now
in it's fourth year of operation.
One million babies of servicemen
have been born under this program
for which Uncle Sam has footed
the bill for one hundred million
dollars. This care costs the govern
ment about 500 for a maternity
case and 500 for an infants case.
Wives and infants under one
year of men in the four lowest pay
grades of Army, Navy, Coast
Guard and Marine Corps are eligi-
bic under the program without re-
gard to race or to family circum-
stances. Care is given even after
the servicemen's discharge if preg-
nancy occurred while the father
was in service.
About $4,000 cases a month are
now being handled which is about
one-third of the number handled
during the war. At one time Uncle
Sam was paying the stork bill for
one out of every seven babies born
in the United States.
Although the EMIC program
LAS undertaken only as an emer-
gency measure, it will prove to be
of lasting benefit not only to the
mothers and babies directly involv-
ed but to thousands of others.

GLAMOR
A recent Miami (Fla.) Fashion
Council style show attracted buy
ers from 16 states and many Latin
countries.
Twenty-seven manufacturers of
mems, women's and children's
clothes, furs, ha nd bags and
jewelry make up the Fashion
Council, and before long this busi-
ness will be a major industry in
Miami. The styles presented at this
latest showing were fresh and ori-
ginal.
A well-known designer Of slacks
featured startling and stunning
color combinations in her new line.
This years styles do away with
the bare look. Midriff cutouts are
filled in with contrasting colors
and there is nipped in slenderi-
zing effect created by shaped side
insets. Some of the new slack en-
sembles were styled of shimmering
satins in high colors for dinner and
at-home evening wear. One num-
ber, for home entertaining was a
one-piece slack suit which was
closed in back. Slim black slacks
were topped with a pink bodice
nich had cap sleeves and turtle
1heckline. The pink was worked
down in a scalloped line over the
hips and the black appeared in an
unusual scroll design over the
shoulder at one side.
Other slacks were made in
crepes for daytime lounging. Pedal
pushers as twin ensembles with
slacks are a new note in the cur
rent collection.
Two coats shown were most out
standing. One of white wool was
a three-quarter length with broad
