This Changing World
Orders From Moscow, Not Privatisn
Blamed for French and Italian Riots

iappearance of Gen. Charles de
Gaulle on the political scene is
bound to hamper them. Gen de
Gaulle, with all his faults and
shortcomings, is not man who
fears action. He is said to be pre-
pared to meet force with force, even

tional framework The Communists

the constitution, and only then in
cases where it serves their own
purposes.
The French resistance leader is
to count-in case of a showdown
with the Communication his FORM
er followers who Waged guerrilla
war against the Nazis and on the
major part of the French Army, il
the present government proves it
self too weak to resist the Commu-
mist onslaughts.
ItaIy's Army Is Weak.
Gen. de Gaulle has no counter
part in Italy today. Premier de
Gasperi is an intellectual and
politician who might have done
well under normal circumstances
But he cannot be described as a
man of action. Few observers in
Rome expect him to take any strong
action to crush the wave of violence
which threatens to destroy the
little order which remains in Italy
Moreover, Mr.. de GaSperi is in a
less favorable position to take action
than Gen. de Gaulle is in France
The Italian Army is weaker than
THE French and not so we'll equipped
Although numerically superior tc
the Communist partiSanS in North
ern Italy, the Italian Army has
much less vigor than its French
counterpart.
Any Italian government which
attempts to resist the Communists
must reckon with large YugoslaE
force on the eastern border o1
Italy. Without officially interven-
ing, the Yugoslav dictator can helr
his Italian colleague, Palmirc
Togliatti, through infiltration o1
armed Yugoslavs across the un-
fortified and ineffectively guarded
Italian -Yugoslav frontier.
1t can not be said definitely YET
that the present riots and strike!
in italy and France demonstrate
Russia's decision to start her march
west. This manipulation of hel
puppets may be mere test te

operation would be. But the con-
sensus of American observers is that
the next few weeks will be the
most dangerous and difficult Europe
has experienced since the war.
The violence which started last
week in France and Italy is no,
spontaneous or due to hardships
1t is purely political and was ordered
by Moscow. According to some
military men, it represents the first
skirmishes of an undeclared war.

tired Pirates were unable to muster
sufficient strength to punch the ball
over from the fve-yard line where
they had three downs and five to go.
1t was Bluffton's second straight
defeat in the Western Buckeye
league, and dropped the defending
champions into the cellar in league
standings.
In Buttons starting lineup, Math-
ewson and J. Bauman were at ends;
klay and Howe, tackles; Sommer
and c. Diller, guards; Hauenstein,
center; Which, quarterback; Moore
and Herr, halfbacks; and Bracy,
captain and fullback.
Howe's defensive play and Bracy's
stalwart running on the offense
were the highspots of the outclassed
Bluffton performance.

Van Vert Hands Bluffton High Eleven
Second League Setback, 200 Score

Bluffton Highs two-game winning
streak was cut short last Friday
night by a smoothly functioning Van
Vert eleven that marched to touch
downs in each of the first three per-
iods to upset the Pirate gridders by
score of 20 to 0.
On the rebound from an unsuc-
cessful season last fall, the Cougars
took full control of the tilt in it's
early stages, and excet't for a last
quarter drive that finally stalled on
the four-yard line, BlufftVn's green
team never seriously threatened.
Agler, Thomas and Tindall kept
Van Wert's running attack at a
consistently dangerous level so far
as Bluffton hopes were concerned,
with the former looking especially
brilliant in some of the fanciest
open-field running seen here this
year.
Thomas smashed for two of his
teams touchdowns, plunging for five
yards in the first quarter and three
yards in the second. In the third
period, Fullback Tindall bulled his
way through the line and ran 20
yards for the most spectacular of
the three touchdowns. Tindall twice
converted on place kicks, but the
attempt for the third extra point
was unsuccessful.
In Buttons last-quarter scoring
bid, there was ample proof that the
Pirates never give up trying, for
they marched some 60 yards before
they finally were stopped on Van
Wert's four.

Bluffton Beavers Lose To Classy
Kenyon Eleven BY Score Of ALT

Bolstered by % lettermen, a classy
Kenyon eleven last Saturday after
noon bested Buttons game but out
manned gridders by score of Al
to T at Gambler stadium.
A brilliant passing attack, with
Quarterback John Mooney doing the
throwing, had Bluffton in the hole
most of the afternoon, and set up
all of the Kenyon scores. To make
the Kenyon passing attack all the
more effective, the downstaters had
a six-foot-six end, who spent most
of the afternoon gathering in
Moneys tosses.
Trailing by three touchdowns at
halftime, the Biuffton team came
back with potent threat of its own
in the last two periods, highIighted
by thfrd-quarter touchdown. In
addition, the Burckymen showed new
power in their ground attack, for
one of the brightest features of the
game.

Builds Pond to Water Pheasants

Builds roma 10 water tueasaHts
A concrete watering pend for
pheasants and other wildlife has
been added to Vic Green's game ref
uge in Orange township. The pond
is approximately II feet in diameter
and foot in depth. The pond will
be supplied with water from a drill
ed we'll.
The refuge privately constructed
and maintained by Mr.. Green COM
prises the wooded section of his At
acre farm, and is located adjacent
to the Layton Manages place,
The refuge is one of the finest ex-
amples of game protection areas in
this vicinity. Brush cover heaped
along the fence rows, stands of al
falfa and small red pines, food bear
ing shrubs and plants, provide ample
protection for pheasants. An acre
of barley planted as a source of
food for wildlife, wooden feeding
station supplied with an abundance
of ear corn and other food when
the snow lies heavy, along with a
slab stone crow blind for eliminating
crows and other predators makes the
refuge an outstanding example of
conservation.

was gaining its first win with 13 to

A few injuries are continuing to
plague the small Bluffton squad, but

of arrangement that Blutfton college

On the scoring play, the Beavers
had a net gain of As yards, repre-
sented by a 15-yard pass from Glea-
son to End Frost, who then ran 30
yards for the tally. Gleason kicked
the extra point.
Kenyon tailed one touchdown in
the first period; two more in the
second, and three in the third.
Most of the trouble encountered
by the Beavers centered in a weak
ness at left tackle, occasioned by in
iuries received in the first two
games. At Wilmington, which came
within one touchdown of tying Wit
tenberg on the follwing week, Coach
Burcky lost his two regular left
tackles, and last week at Kenyon
his replacement was injured early

gridders who will be on the road for
the third successive time as they battle
Cedarville in night game at Xenia
next Saturday.
Unsuccessful in their first two
starts, the Bluffton outfit will be

800 record so far this fall, and altho
the opposing school is nearer the size
of Bluffton than any other on the

in 1889, and to the peak of 27,46S, 900
bushels in 1943. Production in 1947
is likely to be below the 1916 total of
16,254,000 bushels. Thirteen soybean

In play since the season opened,
Bluffton has won two games and lost
two, both victories being scored
against non-league foes. Celina has
only one victory, has suffered two

cally that he was opposed TO tne
measures because they would not
promote industrial peace. He cited
the fact that the NAM, U. S.
Chamber of Commerce, AFL and
CIO all strongly oppose the crea-
tion of a mediation board and add
ed that last year Commissioners
of Cancellation aided in the peace
ful settlement of 1900 industrial
disputes and helped settle 3,400
strikes.
"What's more" he declared, Gin
90 per cent of the disputes where
Commissioners were called in be-
fore work had halted, no stoppage
occurred.
81 am convinced" he said, "that
we would be very unwise to jeop-
ardize or bypass this highly use
ful machinery in order to set up a
mediation board. The solution of
labor disputes is such a many
sided and complicated task that no
board, regardless of the character,
ability and experience of it's MEM
bers, would have the necessary
background to mediate the enor-
mously varied range of disputes
that arise along our industrial
front"
On industry-wide bargaining,
Schwellenbach asserted that cur
rent proposals would narrow the
scope of bargaining, disrupt estab-
lished procedures in several i'm
portant industries, and meet the
opposition of many employers.
To tamper with the present ac-
ceptance of the closed shop and
similar forms of union security
would, he declared, open the doors
to prolonged industrial chaos in
America.

money instead, in savings bonds
that would force prices down, OF
itself, and help stem the tide OF
initiation which is our greatest eco
nomic danger at this moment"
Mr.. Green pointed to the record
of members of the AFL, who, dur
ing the war, spared no effort in
purchase of Victory bonds, for pa
triotic motives and for their own
economic protection.
"Many millions of families OF
American wage-earners have rea-
son to be grateful that they heed
ed the advice to do this" he said,
"because their war bonds helped
them to avoid suffering and de-
privation during what was, fortu-
nately, brief period of unemploy-
ment. The fact that these people
were able to cash bonds and have
enough money to buy what they
needed sustained mass purchasing
power at time when. it otherwise
might have shrunk to a danger
ously low levelSand thereby con-
tributed to the speedy revival of
postwar production and full en-
ployment.
"Today it is just as important as
it was few years ago for the
wage-earners of the nation to in
vest a portion of their income in
savings bonds. We all hope that
a major depression can be avoided
and that such an economic blight
as was visited upon our country
during the early 30s will never oc-
cur again. Nevertheless, many
astute economists predict that a
temporary recession is likely to
come within the coming year.
whether they are right or
wrong, it will pay the workers of
America to save up some insur-
ance against possible hard times
and unemployment through the
regular purchase of U. S. Savings
Bonds, especially now when most
people are working steadily at
good wages.

Secretary Hits
Closed Shop Ban

San Francisco OLNS).-Legis-
lation outlawing the closed shop
the union shop and maintenance OF
membership would plunge the ma
tion into industrial chaos, Secre-
tary of Labor Lewis b. Schwel-
lenbach warned here.
Speaking at the closing session
of the Institute of Industrial Re-
lations at the University of Cali
fornia, the Secretary discussed
various proposals recently put for
ward for labor laws.
Pointing out that II per cent of
all workers are employed under
contracts which provide for some
form of union security, Schwel-
lenbach said:
"ln many cases these security
provisions were won after long
struggles and bitterest opposition.
Given this historical background
and the undeniable fact that some
employers are still anxious to get
rid of unions, | do not see how a
ban on union security would fail
to provoke industrial strife"
Many employers have found
union security clauses desirable,
the Secretary said, particularly
those which eliminate necessity for
settling every workers grievance
individually.

Bills To Ban Communist Party
Held Unconstitutional By Green

Washington, D. C.-Legislation
to outlaw the Community Party in
the United States would be un-
constitutional and would not prove
a solution to combating Red in
fiuences in this country, AFL
President William Green declared
at a public hearing before the
House Committee on Un-American
Activities.
"The American Federation of
Labor believes that the detectives
sought in these bills cannot be
achieved by this type of legisla-
tion," Mr.. Green said. at is alto
gether alien to the spirit and let
ter of our Constitution to outlaw
ideas. The Constitution of the
United States holds inviolate the
inalienable right of every Ameri-
can to believe what he will and to
speak freely what he believes.
Beliefs, be they political or re-
ligious, or, as in the case of Com
munism, combination of both,
may not be outlawed. Freedom of
speech or of the press likewise
may not be abridged by Congress.
''The very strength of democ-
racy lies in its answering adher-
ence to the rights of free speech,
free inquiry and free interchange
of ideas. Democracy in America
is ready to meet and to best any
alien doctrine without fear and
without covering.
"The very weakness of com
munism or any other dictatorship
is that it cannot survive the prac-
tice of these basic freedoms, that
it must rely on the rule of force
and the rule of fear to COW the
people it dominates into submis-
sion. To surrender an iota of our
basic constitutional freedoms is to
detract from the very strength
that makes democracy unassailable
and to confess of a weakness in
the democratic order which does
not in reality exist. Totalitarian
methods have no place in a democ-
racy. Americans must reject their
use, no matter how laudable the
ends to which such methods may
be put.
"Outlawing Communists would
only drive them underground.
Communism would be helped, not
hindered, by the enactment of laws
making Communism Illegal"
Mr.. Green recommended crea-
tion of a national commission,
with bipartisan representation in
Congress and with representation
from the executive and judiciary
branches, as we'll as from man
agement, labor and agriculture,
"to restudy the internal and ex-
ternal security of our democracy,

Washington, d. ca word OF
caution to American workers to
continue to put any possible saw
ings in U. S. savings bonds, for
their own future needs and to
block imitation, was sounded here
by AFL President William Green
in an address before the U. S. Saw
ings Bond Conference.
Declaring that the AFL never
has advocated a buyers strike, and
is not doing so now, because such
a movement, when carried to ex-
tremes, can have disastrous eff
fects, Mr.. Green added:
However, it is just plain COM
mon sense not to purchase house
hold articles for long-term use
when prices are too high. If the
public would refuse to buy at ex-
orbitant prices and put away the
