Bevin brushed off as ''politica-

Bevin said the Marshall propo

American secretary in an address
at Harvard University, was con

He welcomed Czechoslovakis

added:

Without mentioning Russia by

He said Britain was determined
not to ''quibble" over the details

to critical articles which have ap

again is excellent example of the thinking of the
present Congress Passage of the Reed Bulwinkle bill
will put western shippers completely tender

policy of charging "all the public will bear"
Many other examples, such as what happened to
price and rent control could be listed but these few
should suffice to emphasize that the Sins of labor"
were not the basic reasons why the TafHartey bill
passed
the real reason for not only the TaftHartley bill
but all of the above mentioned is that the present
Congressional leadership is perfectly controlled and
so reactonary that it will stop nothing to turn this
country and its people back to monopoly big bust

labor is not the only portion of society

1t is understandable that, Mr.. Tobn as leader OF
labor, should be most directly concerned with what
happens labor, but when the picture is con
sdered question whether labor is faring much worse
before the national legislature than other average
American citizens. Repetition of few examples NAV
be enlghtening:
/. Western Reclamation: If the House Republicans
had their way the program of retaining millions of
western acres would become extinct as a good five.

the reverberatons of grassroots rebellion and have
restored portion of the drastic cuts engineered by
the House.
2. Department of AgricuIture Here again the
House leadership showed either amazing paucity of
intelligence else wilfu disregard for our nation
agricultural future by slashing that departments bud
get by third. Probably the most important items
slashed to the bone were:
a. Rural Electrification-a bureau which has ac-
hieved outstanding record of dollarordollar re-
payment of loans to the federal government and has
brought fuller more happier life to millions of
American farm people,
b. Farmers Home Administration-an agency
through which small farmers particularly GIs just
starting out have been able to secure financing at
low cost!
this would become practically non-existen the bur-
would be liquidated and bigger and more dew
astatng dust bowls would be Americas lot with

d. School Lunch Program-whereby funds have
been made available to aid in feeding undernoursh-
ed children that might have a stronger healthier
future America.
g. Income Taxes land federal sales taxi For all of
the bayhoo the proposed income reduction is moth
ing than relieve the rich" tax measure This
is further borne out when considers the drive now
being conducted by the people, in and out of the
Congress who sought income tax reduction to adopt

COMMISSIONERS PASS
UP WEIGHT, MEASURE
COMPLAINT AT MEET

J. S. Simmons, former weights
and measures inspector appeared
again before the New Hanover
county commissioners yesterday
in behalf of the local government
employing a fun-fime inspector.
But when 1t all was over, the
commissioners quietly passed the
matter by without any action.
Simmons reiterated his charges
that scales and measures were not
being properly inspected by. the
state agents and offered to take
a representative Of the groceries
association, a state agent and a
newspaper reporter to places
where he alleged scales had not
been properly inspected.
He denied charges OF the grocer
les association that he is seeking
a job as inspector for himself.
A letter from c. D.. Baucom,
state superintendent Of measures
with headquarters at Raleigh, was
read. The letter stated that if Sim
mons would name persons the
state would be glad to act.
Simmons said that he and Com
Louis Coleman, at the
formers request, informally in
spected some Of the scales at the
city market Saturday. Coleman de-
clared that he found a majority
were perfect" although a few were
giving figures overweight and
some under weight.
