Has Harry
Pulled Another
Bod Boner?.
BY CharIes b. Rowe

Republican cohorts are chuckling
with glee They are happy in the
belief that President Truman, head
of the opposition party, has given
them a fine assortment of ammuni-
ton for the 1913 campaign. This
gift was handed to the Republicans
by Mr.. Truman when he recently
said in a press conference. that all
rationing and price controls are Of
course pOlice-state methods but are
sometimes necessary.
AS you we'll know from recent
press comment, the Democrats were
all set to blame high prices on the
Republicans because they (and a
large number of brother Democrats)
had succeeded in voting out price
controls. Now the head of the Dem
ocrats says such controls are police
state methods. And in saying so he
rather effectively knocked the props
out from under his party's plans to
blame the Republicans for all the
evils of today. Inasmuch as the
people of this land of the free and
the home of the brave do not care
much for police-state methods. many
are saying that Mr. Truman has
pulled a sad political blunder But
has he?
Ever since political accident
elevated Harry Truman to the presi-
dency, we have felt that there was
a pitiful example of a small man
in a job too big for him How
ever, we must concede him sincerity
in most things Furthermore, it
is evident he has little love for
the New Deal methods of his pre-
decessor. Many of his actions since
taking over the presidency indicate
that. His recent expression con
corning police-state methods is fur
ther indication of his dislike for
such methods.
But shouldn't the man be given
credit for speaking his convictions
even though such forthrightness
may work against him politically?
If man believes thing is bad
for his country, should he be con
demned for saying so? Mr.. Truman
may have damaged some of his

associations should do likewise. The
nation is alarmed over its Juvenile
delinquency. Is it any wonder when
our boys and girls are fed such de-
generating pap as pictures depicting
the life of such arch CRIMINALS as
AL Capone?
A bit of news of the past week
held unusual interest for me. This
interest was because of the educa-
ton bill that came before the late
Montana legislature and that was
killed by the Senate. The news item
stated that Boundary county, Idaho,
Boomers Ferry, county seat, had
voted overwhelmingly to consolidate
all the schools of that county into
one school district The reorgani-
cation measure lost only in one dis
trict and the vote there was close.
The Montana bill that failed to
pass provided for many things but
one was for the consolidation of
many districts into larger ones. That
provision was fought bitterlyf by
many who were afraid of con-
solidation. Apparently the people
of Boundary county hold no such
fear
Down in Texas a DR.. Lloyd /. Ross
shot and killed all of family ex-

party'S campaign ammunition but
those who want honest expression
in a public official will admire Mr..
Truman for his pronouncement IN
respect to police-state methods. But
he surely has pulled the firing-pin
out of one of the Democrats most
highly-prized guns.
The investigation being conducted
by the House Un-American Acti-
vities committee into Communism
in Hollywood is disclosing some in
teresting information that, however,
is no surprise. Reports coming out
of Hollywood have indicated for
some time that the Communists
were conducting their usual cam
paign of infiltration and were not
overlooking Hollywood. In fact
some of the foremost actors have
been tarred with the eVil-smelling
stick of Communism. The present
investigation is disclosing that most
of the Hollywood Communists are
to be found among the script writers
of the movie industry. That is
natural. There they would be in
the best position to inject into pic
lures some of their sly and dis
ruptive propaganda. And naturally,
the investigation is also showing
that most of the outstanding actors
are loyal Americans.
Some are objecting to these in
vestigations on the grounds that
they are matchmaking Would it
be called witoh-hunting to disclose
an enemy spy in time of war? It is
becoming better known every day
that the Communist party is not a
political party in the true meaning
of the word. Communists are. in
fact, fanatical agents of a foreign
power and all of them are bent on
overthrowing our form of govern
ment by fair means or foul, mostly
foul Why then should Communists
be given any consideration? They
are enemies of the United States
and our way of life. More power
to the House committee in the in
vestigations it is conducting.
It is too true that wonders will
never cease. The latest astounding
wonder to hit us is the report that
a movie is to be produced depicting
the life of that arch criminal, Al
Capone. Can you beat that?
AL Capone's life was an example
of everything that was evil and
vicious. He was the prince of racke-
teers in his day Murder, gambling,
prostitution, arson were his stock
in trade. He was one of the most
criminals this country has
ever produced. to our sad sorrow
and disgrace. And now it is pro-
posed to reproduce his life on the
screen to be viewed by millions of
young Americans in their most for
NATIVE and impressionable years,
Most of such pictures condemn
criminality in backhanded man
ner, but the chief character is
almost without exception sur
rounded with a halo of glamour.
The adolescent and unthinking mind
remembers him as a wonderful guy
after viewing the picture.
With all the great and patriotic
men of our nation to choose from,
why choose a depraved monster to
portray on the screen?
