In loving memory of Mrs. Charles
Fisher who passed away one year

You're not forgotten, mother dear,
Nor shall you ever be;
AS long as life and memory lasts,
We shall remember thee.
God called you home, it was His will
But in our hearts you inger still ;
Your memory is as dear today,
AS in the hour you passed away.
Tho time may soften sadness
And wash away your tears,

Of those happy by-gone years.
Sadly missed by Husband

As We See It

 A recent survey by the Institute of Private Opinion disclosed that 5O,OOO-a-year men can't understand why $I-an-hOur men worry about overtime pay.
 NAM lawyer-lobbyist helped Con- gress draft Taft-Hartley bill.-news item.
 HI fares the land,
 To hastening ills prey,
 Where manufacturers write the And congressman obey.
 AFTER long run of June we'd ding items, a cOmpOsitOr on the Mena (Ark.) Euening Star set this addenda: ''The linotype operator, while he set this, wore a pale blue shirt with pants to match and a silver wrist watch adorned his left wrist" The proofreader killed it.
 Some congressman no doubt have a constitutional right to ad- mire Peron of Argentina and Fran co of Spain. But aren't they carry ing their admiration too far when they begin initiating the dictators by abolishing union rights?
 One senator who voted for the Taft-Hartley bill recently said he consulted his conscience before doing so. This is generally accept ed as the most difficult task man ever undertook since Cain and Abel set out to find wives for them selves.
 Abolishing price ceilings, ration ing and real rent controls didn't solve the nations problems, SO now Republicans and Poll-Tax Demo- crats are taking try at abOlishing unions.
 Anniversary story: It's now a year since Congress, pressured by big business, killed the OPA. Said the Natl. Assn. of Manufacturers in a full page ad in June 1946: elf OPA is permanently discontinued |. supply will quickly catch up with demand. Prices will be fair and reasonable to alI."

 Spoke Too Fast

Out of total of g roll calls in the Both Congress, 2l out of 34 Republican senators with record of voting with their party on 9O%o or more of the issues have records of 1OO% loyalty. But among 2l Democratic sena- tors who voted with their fellows 9O%o or more of the time on the same roll calls, only 9 stayed with the administration on all of them.
 In the house, on 9 representa- tive partisan votes, 2l8 Repub- licans or majority of the en- tire body, voted with the party line lOO% of the time, but only "A Democrats stuck to their party throughout.
 These figures demonstrate the absurdity of the claim by Direc- tor Gael Sullivan of the Demo- cratic National Committee that the ''Taft-Hartley law has shaped the cleavage between the two parties. Democrats are now dramatically in opposition to COP reaction." What SuIli- van forgot is that in the House 1O6 Democrats voted to override Truman's veto of the Taft-Hart- ley act, while only Fl chose to uphold his hand.

CommunityChest In Bridgeport To Broaden ItsBase
Agencies And Contributors To Elect Seven Board
 Members Yearly

A new constitution providing for the Characterization of the election of the governing board of directors has been adopted by the COmmun- ity Chest and Council of Greater Bridgeport and Stratford.
 Under the leadership of its new executive director, Elwood Street, formerly director of the Houston (Texas) Community Chest and Council and nationally known lead CT in the field of fund-raising for so- cial service agencies, the whole ap- proach of the Bridgeport Community Chest is being changed fundamental ly, with opportunity given under the new constitution for representation on the board of directors of members elected by the agencies which com prise the Community Chest.
 Under the new plan, agency members of the Community Chest and Council will elect delegates, who in turn will elect seven of the fourteen board members who are slated to join the governing group of the Chest each year.
 In addition, the characterization of the Bridgeport fund-raising agency will be furthered by the provisions guaranteeing cOntribu- tors to the fund an opportunity to vote for the other seven members elected to the board each year.
 Thus, one-half of the new members each year are elected to represent the donors from the community at large, and the other half represents the so- cial service agencies who actually use the funds collected in the annual Oc- tober campaign.
 The basic constitutional changes in the Bridgeport Chest set-up follow the recommendations made by a Citi- zens' Advisory Committee which worked from January through May on thorough survey of all phases of Community Chest operations. The unanimous opinion of the Citizens Ad- visory Committee was that the Com munity Chest must continue its job of unifying the fund-raising activities for the majority of the local private social service agencies in Bridgeport and Stratford. However, strong re- commentators were made calling for

 Our Congress
Senator Says Big Business Has Had Its Way On
 All Issues

As the 80th Congress raced down the home stretch to the July % finish line, Sen. Harley M. Kilgore CD, w. Va) said the National Association of Manufacturers influence had killed all hope of floor action on the national health, housing and educational pro grams.
 ssBig business has had its way in this Congress on virtually every is sue," KilgOre said. Big business, through its multi-million dollar propaganda machine, is opposed to broad social reforms and with its vast influence on this Congress, can block any legislation it does not like."
 The liberal Democrat said the in- dustrialists had lost on only one issue the COP tax bi1l-and the Repub- licans plan to try to pust it through again over Pres. Truman's veto be- fore adjournment.
 KiIgOre's statements were made in a speech reviewing the record of the current Congress. He said that the domestic program has ''been one defeat after another for the farmers and workers. The farmers have fared much better than the workers in that they will be protected by subsidy program next year, but they face heavy cuts in many of their important pro- grams.
