some, machines. The special inter-
ests largely responsible for giving us
a Republican legislative body should
be better satisfied. Their taxes are
being slashed, controls over their
private operations are being re-
moved, prices are out of sight, DEM
ocratic bureaucrats are being starved
out or driven crazy and labor is be-
ing "put in its place"
The legislative leaders certainly
have been getting things done. just
how remarkable their performance
has been you will not fully under
stand unless you buy and read
book that has just been published.
The authors are Estes Kefauver and
DR.. Jack Levin. Mr.. Kefauver Is q
si1rewd, working flve-tern
Representative from Tennessee. Mr..
Levin is a Government economist.
They call their book, "2oth Century
Congress.
Purpose OF Book.
The purpose Of the book, Of course,
is not to glorify the present Con-
gress. Estes, in fact, Is a New Deal
Democrat. The purpose Is to make
understandable to any average voter
just how Congress operates and tol
suggest needed improvements In the
machinery. AS easy to read as a
grade school textbook, it contains
chapters as fascinating-and more
convincing-than some of current
best sex sellers. It is wholly nonpar-
tisan.
The Legislative Reorganization
Act of 1916, according to Messrs.
Kefauver and Levin, made a begin
ming on the big Job Of reforming
Congress, but only a beginning. They
warn that there is talk In RESPONSE
BILE quarters Of scrapping what has
been done instead Of going further
with the task of modernization. For
mer Senator Robert M. La Toilette,
largely responsible for the Reorgani-
zation Act, provides a preface,
warmly commencing the book with
out indorsing all its proposals.
Some of the chapter headings in
dicate the contents: "Is Congress
Necessary" Voting by Electricity"

Easter Island Airbase
Plans Made By Chile

SANTIAGO, Chile (A) -Ea ster
Island, lonely speck in the mid
Pacific inhabited by 500 bored Poly
nesians and a handful of Chileans,
may become a commercial air base
on the Australian run.
A group of Chilean technicians,
back from a trip there, reported
finding a suitable site, which the
government is considering. For
more than year Chilean officials
have been discussing with Aus

planes from Australia across the
South Pacific to Chile.
Stops on the proposed route
would include not only Easter Is

the scene of Robinson Crusoe's adj

Since you were called away.

And only those WhO'vc lost can tell

Time for
Plain Talk
BY
Tom Burke
Vice-President Local II, UAW-CIO

From that day to this it has been the pride
of the CIO movement in Toledo that no one
has suffered at the hands of his employer for
activity in the Union. Many times have all of
us heard Brother Dick GoSser and the other
CIO leaders proclaim that the CIO in Toledo
will not tolerate above all else, retaliatory
measures by any employer, in any manner
against members of the Union for their mem.
bership or for participation in Union affairs.
When any employer attempted to wreak
vengeance upon any of his employees for
Union activity he soon felt the sting of the
Unions reaction and was promptly brought
to terms. 1t was therefore quite surprising to
read in the Blade last week an announcement
that the management of the Blade had trans
ferred Miss Eleanor Coakley from its re-
portorial staff to the reference library (com.
monty called the morgue) because she had
dared to accept an office in the Toledo Indus
trial Union Council.
Possibly the management of the Blade felt
it could get away with this discriminatory
action because it controls the greater part of
opinion forming instruments in the City
will admit that it is unfortunate that we as
the American public have been sold the idea
that if anything is published in our daily
press it must be accepted with even greater
faith than are the Scriptures. The public press
has wrapped itself in a cloak of supposed in
fallibility which we have accepted as bona.
fide.
Even with this great power of the press
to fight against, am convinced that the CIO
cannot afford to abandon its principle This
infamous action of the Blade as an employer
cannot be tolerated any more than similar
action by any other employer in Toledo
could be tolerated, If the Blade is permitted
to get away with this what is to prevent any
employer in Toledo from taking retaliation
measures against stewards, committeeman or
officers?

In Just little over week. August g. to
be exact, the Third Annual CIO Baseball
Night will be held at Swayne Field
Those who have attended other CIO ball
games know that there is plenty of entertain
ment and lot of fun provided for the KIDS
who are there as our guests. And guess the
average guy is like me, they get their kick
out of watching the kids enjoy themselves.
But 1 don't want to talk about the game
so much as do about what the game can ac-
complish for all the children of Toledo, If we
are successful in getting out the biggest crowd
we ever had.
Based on what have seen when mothers
and fathers bring their children to Local IL
headquarters to get an application for the
Children's Summer Camp, the average man
and woman is interested in the welfare of
their youngsters. If this be true, and think
it is we will have sellout at this years ball
game.
For the first time, we are hoping to make
a little profit from the game. We need it to
help us defray the expenses of the Sand Lake
Camp for the children of Toledo. And what
is more, we believe that our own members
will turn out to prove that they are with us
1UU per cent III WHdI we dIS tAyAl5 w az

REAL VALUE
Those of you who have not already visited
the new Childrens Camp are missing a great
treat. If you have already paid the Sand Lake
camp visit, think you will agree with me
that it is one of the finest things we have
ever undertaken think you will agree with
me that it is worthy of whatever support we
all can give it, and know I'll see you at the
August ball game.
Those who have not visited the camp
should do so at the earliest opportunity. If
you visit the camp before the game, I'm posi-
tive I won't have to try and give you any
sales talk about why you should spend a buck
to see ball game and aid some child to en-
JOY the camp.
I want to make this final plea to all, that
if you love your children and believe they
are worth doing for then you will not hest.
tate to see the coming ball game which you
will enjoy, and in enjoying game help the
children to greater opportunity in the way
of fresh air, sunshine, exercise wholesome
food and wonderful vacation
