Averaging mark in every other

Heishman Tires team ace, bowled
games Of 14S, 141' and 1853 to count

Bitter Fight Menaces
New England Racing
In Battle on Dates
BY the Assoeiofsd Press

BOSTON, Dec. 18.-The possibil-
ity Of bitter battle loomed today
over horse racing dates In New Eng
land after an unsuccessful effort by
Massachusetts,, New Hampshire and
Rhode Island racing commissioners
to settle differences.
The conflict centered on dates
sought by Suffolk Downs in Boston
and the two Rhode Island tracks
Narrasansett and Lincoln Downs.
Harold r. Allen, chairman Of the
Massachusetts, commission, said that
no agreement was reached at a
conference last night and that no
more meetings are planned.
Allen said that Rhode Islands
proposal for ALLEGATION Of so per
cent Of available racing days to the
two tracks in its State could not
be approved by either Massachu-
|setts or New Hampshire.
The Rhode Island claim for so
per cent Of the racing dates is based
on the location of two Of the four
major New England tracks In that
State.
Considerable concern also has
been expressed by Massachusetts
track officials over Lincoln Downs
application for 80 days Of racing on
choice. dates usually allocated to
Narragansett which co-ordinates Its
larger-purse races with Suffolk
Downs.
They pointed out that II two or
three tracks operated on the same

war, the problems Of thousands Of ma
tives living on scores Of islands became
our problems. And it is pleasant to re-
port that the United States Navy, which
is the administrative agency, is taking
these problems very seriously.
The Navy is training officers in the
arts Of military government. It is pay
ing particular attention to health and
sanitation. It is attempting to revita-
lie what little industry and commerce
the islands are capable of maintaining.
It's purpose is to assist the inhabitants
to stand on their own feet.
This is no simple task. An immense
amount of work is being done by the
Navy. Thus, the hand of America
reaches out to tiny islands whose very
names are unknown to all but a few
persons.

Voice OF The PEOPLE

Whether Congress approves the new
Case bill for curbs on labor leadership's
despotism, revanlps the Wagner Act, of
passes legislation still to be presented,
it is obvious that the national legisla-
ture has needed the voice of the people,
as represented by the country's press,
following the unjustifiable coal strike
ordered by John L. Lewis, president of
the United Mine Workers union.
After The abrupt end Of that strike,
when Lewis discovered he had bumped
his head on a stone wall, there was
hardly a newspaper in the land that did
not have something to say about the
episode. And it is to be noted that their
comment was singularly unanimous in
The opinion that the miners arrogant,
rublic- be-damned leadership had been

Helping Hand

The responsibilities that came to the
United States as a result of victory in
the war are not fully known to the
American people. The history-making
events that are taking place in Europe
and the Far East naturally reach the
headlines-but many another important
job is being accomplished in obscurity.
An example of this is found in the
Pacific islands. The Marshall group,
which is typical, belonged to Germany
until 1914. Then Japan, as one of our
Allies in World Wal I, seized the islands,
and her authority was legalized by a
League of Nations mandate in 1922.
Japan held the islands, using many of
them as naval and air bases, until we
freed them near the close of World War
II.
Thus, purely as a consequence of

must take prompt action to put the
brakes on labor excuses.

must take prompt action to put the
brakes on labor excesses.
This point of view was shared by
papers of all political and economic
views published in every section Of the
nation. The Chicago Tribune said, "The
people expect their new Congress to
write new labor laws" The Kansas City
Times said, "This nation cannot trust its
security to domineering individuals
The New Orleans Times-Picayune said,
public necessity requires there must be
no recurrence of strikes against the ma
tons safety ..." The New York Herald
Tribune said, Revision of the Wagner
Act is indicated, also legislation to make
unions amenable within reason to the
antitrust laws and subject to suit as
legal entities for breach of contract"
The extreme left-wing New York Daily
Worker urged miners to "take hold OF
their union and reinstitute a democratic
in it."
So it went, throughout the land. This
was the voice of the American press
speaking on behalf of an angry and out
ragged people. 1t was not, for the most
part, a punitive voice. It did not cry
out for labor's blood. It did reaffirm
the fact that the public interest is law.
Whatever the Congress does to break
up the labor leaders heirochy, these
are the truths that must be reflected in
its labor legislation.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-01-11
The Budget Message

President Truman's budget message
to Congress shows a noble intent to
get the national finances into a more
equitable and sound position. What the
republican majority in the Capital will
do to carry out his recommendations
is not so clear. There appears to be a
predisposition on the part of a large
number in the House and the Senate
to write it's own slate on the more i'm
portant legislative measures. If this is
done it will include the budget.
1t may be possible the majority will
discover that, improvements can be
made in Mr.. Truman's program, in which
case the Congress will be justified in
using its own judgment.-On the other
hand, it is to be- hoped the more on
sentative element in the majority is sue
cessful in curbing the tendency among
the hotter heads on the Hill to take punt
tive action against the administration
for purely party reasons. The nations
financial situation is too grave to per-
nit reprisals.
MIR. Truman notes that existing and
proposed legislation will involve thirty
seven and a half billion dollars in ex-
penditures, and that the present tax
laws represent a national revenue of
thirty-seven and seven-tenths billions.
To increase the margin in favor of the
treasury, the President recommends an
increase in postal rates, to take care
of the post office deficit and the excise
tax rates, due to expire on July l next,
be continued throughout the 1913 fiscal
year. Thus, says MI. Truman, expendi-
lures would be reduced to thirty-seven
and one-tenth billions and revenue in
creased to thirty-eight and nine-tenths
billions. The surplus would be one bill
lion and eight-tenths.
Such a surplus is real money, in any,
body's language, even with the national
debt so staggeringly great. Unless the
Congress can find ways to increase this
amount without placing a handicap upon
necessary governmental functions it will
do we'll to accept both recommends
lions. At the same time, the Congress
will be but doing it's duty if it can
create new economies in government,
particularly by reducing federal employ
ment with parallel cuts in federal pay
rolls.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-01-11

the table without recommendation.
And that was the end of that and
the start of Senator's Overton's
illustrious career.
l would argue that Bilbo by his
v~ulgarity, his candor where suav-
er men evade and pretend, has
forced an issue that the Roosevelts,
Mr.. and Mrs. would not have dared
to stand upon in 1882, knowing
that if they did, he never would
have carried his hip-pocket
province south of the line and would
not have been President. They.
and Ickes. too, and ten thousand
parasites of the northern demo-
cratic fold who fattened their for
tunes and their vanity in the years
since '32, all knew the system by
which they carried the south four
times and we're willing beneficiar-
les Of a process which, now that all
is lost and their regime discredit-
ed. they suddenly find abominable.
The graft is another matter, COW
cred by other and higher proceed
ents. 1t may be challenged only
by those with clean hands, but not
by men and women who never for
got that a certificate of election
was a ticket to the gravy train.
So, aside from the graft Bilbo stood
accused only of traditional Mississ-
lppl and deep-South practice. He is
condemned, not for anything he had
done, but for his manners, which
compare well with the manners of
those who could only resort to his
language because it is the oaly
tongue they know.
