There's no way out for John L. Lewis; he's
trapped coming and going. First the Com
munist newspaper Trud, in Moscow, declares
that "the reactionary Lewis is trying to "dl-
rect the growing American workers move
ment into channel advantageous to monopol-
istic trusts" Then, a few days later, because
John L. won't sign the ft-Hartley ANTI
COMMUNIST affidavit, the Washington Post
calls him "The AFL'S Gromyko" But that
didn't end Lewis unsolicited publicity.

To all the people in the UAW-CIO plants IN
Region 2-B, extend my thanks and gratitude
for the great vote of confidence which they
gave me in the convention at Atlantic City, as
well as their support of my close associate,
your new Regional Director, Charles Ballard
The landslide proportions of the vote given
to the top officers and board members during
our convention fills me, and am sure that
speak Director Ballards sentiments, with
deep sense of responsibility to the men ana
women in the plants, the rank and file VINO
look to us for leadership and the securing OF
greater benefits for them as members of the
union.
During the five years have had the honor
to serve as your regional director have made
many fine friends with whom l have every
intention to maintain the same friendly rela-
tionship. My new job as Internatioal vice
president would be an empty honor if it meant
giving up the old trusted and true friends.
GRATEFUL
It is my feeling that in honoring me with
the vice presidency, the union has honored the
people of Toledo and Region 2-B who have
contributed so greatly to whatever success
have been able to achieve for the union. With
out the assistance and kindness of the people
l have been privileged to serve could not
hope to represent them from a position of
greater influence.
l shall never forget those who have given
me their help and advice during the five years
1 served as Region 2-B director, Not only do
value their interest and support during these
years. but hope that they will continue to
give me their aid in the post to which
they have elected me-
No man who occupies position of respon-
sibility in our union can hope to succeed IN
his work for his fellow members without a
large measure of support. This l have had
from the good people in our union in Region
2-B, and this must continue to have as
take my place in post of still greater re-
sponsibility.
To ask for help and support is one thing,
to earn it yet another hope, therefore, that
1 can continue to merit the backing OF every
sincere member of our union and that every
man and woman in our shops will let me
know their wishes and guide me in doing the
things they think should be done.
PLEDGE
In asking Tor tne support Vi MY PSoPAS'
give them my pledge that will serve them
to the best of my ability and with every facl-
lity at my command. 1t is my belief and hope
that when this term is over that they Will be
able to shake my hand and call me friend.
In accepting the vice presidents post
expressed thought from our constitution
which 1 would like to repeat. 1t is my hope
that shall not only earn the esteem OF my
fellow workers, but what is of even more I'M
portance, the APPROVAL of my own conscience.
I further pledge that will continue to
give this area my best efforts and that will
give your new director, Chuck Ballard, as
much aid Nas he may need in the position
which you have given him. AT the same time,
call upon those who have supported me to
give their new director their loyalty and sup
port and to help us both advance the interests
of the men and women who have placed their
confidence in us,

The latest big business the
ory of economics was pro-
pounded last week by DR.. Will
liam A. Irwin, of the Amer
lean Bankers Association, in
an address TO the Savings
Banks Association of New
York State. Irwin told the
bankers that "full employ
ment in a free society is in
evitably inflationary." That's
the sort of simple, sensible
reasoning that our labor eco
nomists never seem to be able
to grasp. To avoid initiation
we should fire several million
workers who will have to 60
on relief. There'll be depres-
sion and the government will
have to borrow from the
banks to keep the several mil
lion unemployed on relief. The
banks will prosper so much
that eventually they'll be able
to hire all the unemployed as
Vice-presidents.

MISCONCEPTION

Fundamentally, h o wev er,
CED shared the same miscon-
ception about taxes and tax
policy that has plagued eco
nomic thinking in most busi-
ness circles and now in Con-
gressional circles. The chief
misconception is h a low
taxes for business improve
their incentives to invest. In
vestment proVi d e S employ
ment and everybody's happy.
Anybody who was around
during the Great Depression
knows that this economic rea-
soning will not hold up. Taxes
were low, the budget was
more or less balanced, and
there were 100000 unem-
ployed.
We are not now in the best
of all possible economic worlds
by any means. But two facts
stand out. Only during the
war were taxes higher than
they are now. Yet we are as
close to full employment and
maximum profits as we have
ever been.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1947-11-21
UNDERSTOOD

This situation the we'll
known average man under
stood even if he couldn't sling
the tax exports gobbledy-
cook, as is evidenced by his
failure to react against Presi-
dent Truman's veto of the
Republican tax bill last year.
Public apathy to Republican
tax reduction programs was
so great that Truman's veto
could not be over-ridden.
The answer of the economist
who has his wits about him
to the big business tax propa-
ganda runs something like
this: What stimulates business
to invest and therefore furnish
employment is not low taxes,
1t is developing a market for
his goods. Markets come from
mass purchasing power. And
frequently, as happened from
1888 on, increased taxes
furnished the proceeds for
works programs that gave jobs
that provi ded purchasing
power which increased de
mand which in turn stimulated
private investment.
With the Marshall Plan
necessarily siphoning off goods
for d om e t c consumption,
maintenance of taxes, at least
at current levels, will serve
another function. 1t will act as
an anti-inflationary weapon.

Washington
Labor Report
BY Bradford v. Carter,
LPA Columnist

Next to labor legislation the
Republicans in Congress have
become more concerned about
tax reduction than any other
other single issue. In fact, the
obsession with tax reduction
became so acute that several
Republican Congressman had
seriously proposed to put it
on agenda of the special Con-
gressional session ahead of the
European recovery program
and the problem of initiation.
All the evidence points to
the fact that the focal point
point of Congressional interest
in taxes is to cut them for the
fat boys. Only a sharp dis
sent by Matthew Woll from a
report by a Congressional adj
visory committee revealed to
what lengths the tax reduc-
ton boys were going in order
to get tax elief for the
greedy" as FDR once put it.
Within the last week, the
c ON m i t t e for Economic
Development has issued a re-
port on tax policy. The CED
represents the literate element
among the businessmen. Lit
eracy in this connection means
the acceptance of the newt
able. And so while the NAM
still dispenses the same hoopla
that it did a generation ago,
CED has recognized that social
security is here to stay.
In the context of the typical
businessman's attitude about
taxes, which, if anything is
possibly to the left of Con-
gress', CED has made a useful
contribution. The usefulness of
the CED contribution is its
recognition that tax reduction
any old way is dangerous; that
tax reduction must proceed
from some overall policy. And
for the long pull, certain sorts
of tax reduction may do more
harm than good, even from
the businessman's point of
view.

Pittsburgh, Pa, recently con-
Quoted the largest tournament in
its history. John A. Barry of
Pittsburgh, a vice-president of the
American Contract Bridge League,
tells me that they are planning
for an even bigger tournament
when the Pennsylvania State
Championships Ire neld there in
November.
In the recently held tournament
they had ll2 pairs in the open
pair event and 20 teams in the
team-of-four. That. the CALDER Of
bridge was good was demonstrated
in the team-of-four event when
four teams ended in a tie for first
place after two days of play.
By finishing first in the Pitts
burgh team-of-four, Edward F.
Coin Of Philadelphia accumulated
the necessary points to put him
over the 300 mark and become
Life Master No. II. Today's hand
is one that he played in the tour
nament, and it is as nicely played
a hand as l have seen in quite
q while.
COIN refused to win the hearts
until the third round, then with
fear and trembling he led the
deuce of spades, hoping that East
held the ace, and not West. East
won with the ace and for want
of a better lead, returned the three
of spades. This practically marked
him with the king of spades.
COIN won the spade in dummy,
and now most of the declarers led
the three of clubs and took the
double finesse. West won with the
jack, cashed the two good hearts,
and the contract was defeated.
COIN, however, led the three Of
clubs and finessed the queen,
which held. Then he went over
to dummy by playing another
spade and led back another club.
When East put on the king. Cohn
let it hold the trick, and there was
nothing East could return that
would defeat the contract.

The wedding of vivacious Diane

members doubted the wisdom of
the groom's choice of bride. Bill

too, that j. Emmett had come by
his huge fortune rather question
ably. Among the guests was Page
Winston, who had been in love
with Bill since childhood. Diane,
about to throw her bridal bouquet,
saw Page quietly standing in the
background. and deliberately
tossed the flowers TO her. Rufus
Kent, newspaperman and BINS
former roommate at Harvard,
noted Pages embarrassment, and
followed her to the terrace. Intro
ducing himself, he explained that
he had come TO Grandharbor to
work on The Post, and voiced the
hope they would be friends. Fol-
lowing a blissful three weeks in
Bermuda, Diane and Bill return to
Grandharbor and go directly to
their small apartment, eager to be-
gin the task of arranging their
furniture. Diane manages to con-
ceal her annoyance when they dis
cover that Bills mother has al

thoughts full of the Staples case,

than she'd needed to. because she'd
rather go to a party with Bill than
with any other young man Of her
acquaintance.
Then the afternoon Bill had
come to her house and Diane was
there and she'd had to sit and see
it happening before her eyes,

She was grateful to Rufus Tor
taking her out Of herself but she
had not attempted to defend him
to her mother. No closer attach

merely nodded. now, to say it was

Mrs. Winston's lips did not alter
their straightness. She never had
accepted Diane.

toned Pages dress.
"Oh, not a party! Bill's too deep
in the Staples case for anything
like that. Diane said something
about a ceremony Of hanging a
picture"
The portrait of Judge William
Arden! Miriam said it had been
sent on to Bill" Then Mrs. Win
ston asked, a little sharply: us
Diane making a joke Of it,"
From what Diane had said Page
had every reason to suspect she
was. But she told her mother that
Diane was delighted to have it.
Mrs. Winston shook her head. Il
think Bills going to find he made
a mistake in marrying that Tar
rell girl. Miriams' never said any
thing, Of course. but I know she
wasn't happy about the match. I
know she hoped"
The doorbell rang and Page ran
to answer it, the color high on her
cheeks but not for Rufus coming.
She said to Rufus. "IIl be ready
in a minute"
Mind walking? Cars out Of
commission"
'Tll like it,"
But she took more than a min
ute in her room. She stood still
before her mirror, despising her
self because, whenever her mother
or anyone else said Bills marrying
Diane was a mistake some un-
disciplined part of her so invarl-
ably rejoiced.
The other day at the Club, when
Diane was telling Of the grand
time she and Bill had had on their
honeymoon and Lois Dark had
said: I'D feel it was bad luck to
have such a perfect honeymoon!
Like drawing a good hand, first
deal in bridge" She'd laughed
with the others al Lois but, at the
same time, she'd caught herself
hoping for the bad luck.
She was frightened, realizing it.
It was nothing less than mon
strous. with Bill concerned. And
Diane, too. She daubed powder on
her nose, picked Vp her hat and
ran downstairs to join Rufus. Es-
