blaeE-and- blue in the face, but they have to put up with the American made dictator
 However, Secretary Marshall and his War Department friends have persuaded President Truman to sup port a plan for sending more arms and more U. s. military men to train Pan-American armies. This is sure to mean more dictators. It also means contact between govern ment and government, when what we neel is contact between people and people. The more Latin Amerl- Ian peoples resent a dictator, the more they dislike the country which helped create that dictator; also, the more they veer toward Com munism
 If the same money were spent for the exchange of students and pro- fessors instead of arms, it would do twice as much to ward off CCmmunism-and also build gen. uine friendship.

4 Petrillo Wage Ceiling
New York Times


 We are accustomed to the legitimate labor union practice of trying to workers of weekly pay envelope that will fall below certain dollar level however to learn that unions may also decide the this week little news story from Hollywood that exemphfes this dubious obstruction to free enterprise and individual diligence With the knowledge and approval of James c Petrillo president of the Amer- can Federation of Musicians, members of that union in Hollywood will be prohibited from playing in motion picture studios in any capacity if they are at the same time playing an engagement or engagements outside the studios where the basic scale of ac- cumulation of earnings is more than S75 a week.
 This is not a wholly policy, we are told but revision of similar regulations previously in effect We find in a deep and fundamental contradiction to the principles of personal freedom The musicians union is of course tight little brotherhood which has, under Mir Perillos dictatorsn:p been able to exact unfair and short-sighted tribute from employers and the listening world as well It is not illogical, per haps that it should prove dicaoral in restrictions on it's own members.
 MT Petrillos approval of such policy inevitably invites comment upon his dual jobs and the earn ings he enjoys thereby. At the last annual meeting of the American Federation of Musicians the treas urers report showed NAT Perio receiving S26lS0 for salary Der diem and expense which was in additno to his s20O00 salary president of the Chicago Fed eration of Musicians whose head he has been since 1922 We are forced to admit that some con- tradiction in an order holding down the lid on what a horn-blower in Hollywood make around the studies while MT Perillo goes his unfettered musical way in Chicago New York and elsewhere. But per haps his members will no such paradox.

BUSINESS AND PRICES

The Business Committee on National Policy oi the National Planning Association places squarey up to brsinss the responsibility for leading the country out of it's present price problems This position is taken despte the committees recognition that business men are not alone 1esronsbe for the price situation that has developed during the past few months.
 The authors of this statement say they are not concerned with placing the blame for the present situation" However if We do not know and under stand the causes now can it be expected that proper solutions will be reached? What business do about abnornally high farm prices? What can busi- ness do to prevent cost increases due to higher wage demands frequently directly indirectly sponsored by the Government or the adoption of make-work practices which hold down labor productivity and make it impossible offset rising labor costs? What can business do about high taxes?
 While prices of products undoubtedly have increased excessively result of actions by busl- ness men the plain fact is that farm products and foods are the major outof-line prices In general manufactured goods prices have risen less than half as much as fam and food prices While some cor rectives are desirable and seem possible for manu- factured goods prices the major adjustments must take place in food prices since it is those increases which have accounted for most of the pressure upon living costs To large extent food prices are not de- termined by business men: they market prices If the profits of all food proeessors were eliminated entirely food prices could be cut only by very moderate proportions
 The committee recognizes that under private enterprise it is by of price that We determine how resources are used. and how the output of the economy is divided" It fails to recognize however that when there shortages is higher prices which allocate resources That is the price system in action The available evidence indicates that business men

Touching the Untouchables
(New York Sum


 By writing into the new Indian constitution a clause making the observance of untouchaby penal offense the Constituent Assembly of India has done a thing that will be regarded elsewhere with ap- probation Just how big a stride it may have taken will depend upon whether this clause is to become
 merely pronouncement of good intentions or whether it actually can be put into practice That, in turn must depend upon final adoption of the constitution and it's employment the charter of an independent government something which continued differences between HinCius and Moslem shroud in uncertainty.
 In some parts of India there are now laws against untouchability often honored in their breach than by their observance. The development of the caste system of which untouchability is most un- happy manifestation, has been the work Of centuries, dating back, historians agree, to hundreds Of years before the Christian Anything which over so long a period has become ingrained in the religious and social life Of people hardly is likely to be changed overnight by the passage of any law. however noble it's purpose. The idea that members of any large eroup-n the of Indias untouchables it is about 40OO00 000-hy of the station of their parents may not into contact with those born to higher station defes the fundamentals of democracy It is only natural that constitution designed to establish a modern independent state should seek to remove such barriers to economic and social advancement. It is evidence that the world at large is reversing the trend which brought Indias untouchables and other underprvileged peoples to their present position

HARVEY PERTAINING
 DIES IN COLORADO

Harvey c. Fremming, known to many oldtimers in Juneau, passed away in Colorado recently, and carving out his last wishes, his ashes were strewn over the majestic range of the Rockies, by three planes of the 13Sth Detachment at Lowry Field as they flew over the Continental Divide from Longs Peak to James Peak and Mt. Evans then over Pike's Peak.
 Fremming was born in Chicago, August 3, 1892 and was reared in Seattle. winning his degree in elec- trical engineering at the University of Washington He served in World War No. I, was severely wounded and cited for service above and be- yond the call of duty in the Meuse- Argonne offensive.
 Fremming helped to organize the American Legion and he first gain ed prominence in he labor move ment as Editor of the California  1 oil Worker and as a leader in founding the old Int. Assn. Of Oil Field. Gas Well and Refinery Workers, AFL. in California, fore runner of the OWIU. He helped organize oil workers from coast to coast. He was President of the OWIU but on account of ill-health was forced to resign the import ant position in 1887. Later he be- came Kansas City regional director for the CIO until again stricken in 1943. During his directorship he had an important part in framing the present social security law.
 Fremming is survived by his vii dow in Denver, Colorado, three children, Warren, Marjorie and Elizabeth; two brothers, John Fremming in Seattle and Elliott Fremming at Elfin Cove, Alaska.

NICARAGUAN NEPOTEsM

Last month, however. he installed another President. Dr Leonardo Arguello, generally considered a Somoza puppet
 President Areuello, however, sur prised folks though not for long. He had the nerve to denote Som oza's son-n-law. Louis de Bayle. q colonel in the National Guard ana head of public health. He also re- leveG Somoza's elder son as h. spector General of the National Guard and transferred him to the Leon Garrison-away from the eap- ital. Another of Somoza's sons was relieved as commander of the Presidential Guard
 Finally. and the straw that broke the camel's back, the new President started to ouSt Somoza's son-m-law, Bill Seyilla -Sacasa, as Ambassador to the United States. Somoza' s daughter, Lillian, is Niearaguan Ambassadress in Washington and enjoys the bright life. This move could not be tolerated
 So last week, new President Ar guello found himself looking for a countr' of exile. He was replaced with Benjamin Lacayo-Sacasa, a second cousin Of dictator Somoza.
 While this tale Of Nicaraguan revolution has its humorous aspects, actually 1t is a tragedy. Scmoza is one of the most hated men in Ni- caragua, but he can't be turned out. American arms and training under American Marines have made him an-powerfui The people of Nicaragua can vote till they are

Ethridge knows the situation first hand
 However, Senator Vandenberg gave him the veto In addition, Senator George of Georgia indi- cated his displeasure. Ethridge once edited a paper at Macon, Ga, which said some unfriendly things about the Senator.
 So, despite the urgency oi the foreign front, the best men don't always get appointed.
 Note-The Senate Foreign Rela- tions Committee, while holding up the appointment of a former Cab inet officer, Francis Riddle, to a No 2 post with the United Nations, has OKd Stanton Griffis as Am bassador to Poland, despite the fact that Griffis praised Hitler-even after Poland was invaded

TAKE \ TIP FROM COOLIDGE

AMI a IT bO4n AooA>AboL
 When it comes to picking men for top spots in Government, Har- " Truman might well take a cue from Calvin Coolidge.
 Truman has been almost getting down on his knees begging men to accept important jobs He had an extremely difficult time getting John J. McCloy former Assistant Secretary of War, to become head of the World Bank And he spent about two weeks trying to induce Paul Hoffman. of the Stakeholder Motor Company, to become admin istrator for aid-to-G Greece.
 Busy at the bedside of his mother, Truman left it to Undersecretary of State Dean Acheson to invite Hoffman Hoffman declined. Then Secretary of State Marshall him. self phoned Hoffman Perhaps if Truman had called Hoffman on the telephone himself, he might have persuaded him to take the job
 However Coolidge didn't bother about those niceties. He felt it was their duty to serve their country; so he simply announced at a press conference that he was appointing certain man to do a certain job After that, they couldn't refuse without being stamped as unpatri- otic.
 Truman, however, not only sounds out prospective appointees, but all so has to go through all the rami- fications of consulting Republican leaders. One of the best qualified men for Greece, for instance. IS Mark Ethridge, publisher of the Louisville Courier-Journal, who has made two important studies Of the Balkans for the State Department.

 They not only trained the National Guard. but they picked Somoza to head the guard, and they trained him so well that Somoza has been ruling Nicaragua ever since.
 Somoza was picked because he was supposed to be friendly to the USA. He once sold automobiles in Philadelphia and New York, and his uncle. a candidate for Presi- dent. was a Philadelphia dentist
 However, Somoza turned out to be pro- -Somoza and nothing else. He was not even Nicaraguan. After the first free elections were held in Nicaragua, Somoza, with the marine trained National Guard be- hind him, kicked out his uncle as President and became President himself He has been runn.as the country eyer since.
