COP in the Stretch

A good many of the G.. o. P. faithful
must be beginning to share the opinion
expressed by Senator George OF Georgia
when he said that "the Republicans just
aren't going to be able to make the savings
they have promised"
The Republicans in the House have
pledged themselves to a reduction OF
Sc, 1000, 600, 900 in President Truman's $37,-
500,000,00O budget. The Senate Repub-
licans, more cautious, undertook to make
a cut of only $4,000, 100000. The prospect
of reaching either goal is remote.
As of today, the cuts made in appropria-
ton bills may be summarized as follows:
Labor Federal Security - $8700o,0o0
Treasury-Post Office -------897, 100000
Interior -----------------134 900, 900
state-Justice- Commerce 160,0O0,000
Navy $4,000

ONE of the loudest ovations of
the conference met the warning
that the Pea might strike out
into new political paths. 1.-THE
Republican party has long since
lost any possible claim as lib
eral party" the Pea program de-
clared.
Although the Democratic
party has repeatedly served
the progressive cause" it is
not "clear now whether this
party will recover it's progress
sive tradition or surrender to
its own brand of ignorance and
bigOtry,1 it continued. 1--WE
want to make one thing clear.
If the Democratic party wOOs
privilege and betrays the peO-
pie it will die and deserve TO
die. We cannot, therefore, rule
out the possibility of a new pc
litical party, whose fidelity to
our goals can be relied upon"
Sharp criticism of the present
2-party system also came from
who charged that what
we have today is "a fake 1-party
system under the guise of a BIZ
partisan bloc" To the rising ap.
plause of his audience, Wallace
called for an active fight by pro
gressives to win control of the
Democratic party machine and If
that fails, he indicated that a
third party would be the only
solution.

Nation al.
Cr0SSrOud'
Murray

WASHINGTON - (FP)-The
challenge of 1947 is the forma-
ton of a democratic coalition of
labor and other community
groups to oppose reaction, Go
Pres. Philip Murray said in a
New Years Day address over a
nationwide Mutual hookup.
Recently" Murray said, IT
called upon the heads OF other
branches of organized labor to
work unitedly against backward
trends. Tonight 1 would like, in
behalf of the CLIO, to extend that
invitation to all the organizations
of the community which agree
with our policies and oppose re-
action.
"The formation of such
democratic coalition, to protect
our basic civil rights, to in,-
prove our economic welfare, to
set aside us squarely on the
road of social progress - that
is the challenge of 1947."
THE CLIO leader said Ameri-
cans in 1947 stand "at a vitality
important crossroad; the deci-
slons we make in the next few
weeks will determine whether
this country turns downhill into
another major depression. If we
do so, we will drag the rest of the
world down with us into confu.
sion and despair"
Murray said the main danger
in 1947 would be failure to build
a high level of purchasing power
to keep the economy running
smoothly.
If we are to maintain purchas-
Ing power" he said, 1--WE must
raise wages. Reliable outstand-
ing economists have placed the
spotlight on the dangers to our
continued prosperity. Prices have
risen drastically in the past few
months. Each such rise cuts into
the purchasing power of the PEG
pie.
THERE is no question of the
ability of our great corporations
to pay increased wages and refill
the reservoir of purchasing pow
er. Corporation profits in the last
three months of this year Just
ended are estimated to be three
times higher, after taxes, than
they were in 1889.
To overcome the scars of war
and conflict, Murray advocated:
"A progressive, intelligent
policy to spur foreign trade; a
willingness to help our allies
economically and a policy of
humanitarianism free from
politics; a recognition of the
fact that democratic people
: have the right to choose their
forms of government; and solid
support for the United Ma
tiOnS."

LOCAL TRUCKS
HELP

Two trucks and repair crews
from the Union Rural Electric
Cooperative Association, and one
from the United Telephone co
went to different areas in the
northwest corner of Ohio, over
the weekend to help repair dam
ages brought about by a severe
sleet storm Thursday night and
Friday.
One REA truck, with two men,
was sent to North Baltimore,
Wood county, while the other
truck, also with two men, went to
Napoleon, county seat of Henry
county. The Telephone co. truck,
with four men, was sent to Meta
mora, on the Ohio Michigan line
in Fulton county.
Carl Jenny, manager of the
Union Rural Electric, said he
understood the sleet storm was
one of the worst that section of
the state has ever experienced.
One REA manager told him that
less than 10 percent of the lines
in his territory were in opera
ton.
Full rural electric service was
expected to be restored by the
latter part of this week, although
only with temporary repairs, Mr..
Jenny said. Ice was still on the
lines when he returned from that
territory Sunday night.
William Palmer, manager of the
the Telephone CO., said he did not
know the extent of the damage
to telephone lines in the area,
but understood it was extensive.
