receives less for his money, he must plan to
buy less to stay within his income When
this basic principle of cutting the pattern to
fit the cloth" is ignored by the public spend
ers, two evils result: /. All prices advance
because the government competes for scarce
materials and labor and indiscriminately es-
tablishes all projects as 'muSts" at any
price, and 2. More money for these projects
must come out of the family budget in the
form of higher taxes to pay for them, thus
making it even more difficult for YOU to live
within your income. Actually it boils down
to a question of deciding whether you want
to spend your own money or have the gov
ernment spend it for you, of whether you will
demand that the principle of balancing your
family budget In terms of dollars and cents
be followed by public officials in eliminating
public extravaganza in terms of round mil
lions.
Rightfully, those who clamor for more
and more public spending, those who are free
with labels of necessity" and highest prior
ity" for lavish road or other public works
projects and "musts" for more dollars
squeezed from your hard-hit household bud
get, have earned the title of ''Tax Spenders" 4"
Perhaps this is the time to put an apron on
these boys and let them struggle with the
problem OF balancing the family budget for
a week.
NSO(&
IN MAY, THE PRESIDENTS Confer
ence on Fire Prevention adopted an Action
Program which should be put into effect in
every state without delay. One of it's essen
tial proposals is that all governors appoint
statewide fire safety committees and that
each state hold fire prevention conference
to establish practical line of action tailored
to it's own particular needs.
The Action Program is all-incusive. 1t
contains recommendations, framed by the
leading fire prevention experts of the nation,
on such vital matters as law enforcement,
building construction, fire-fghting services
public education, and research. But it will be
of no avail if states and communities fail to
put it into effect 1t offers the nation an op-
portunity-and it is up to the people to ac-
cept it.
No one can doubt that the magnitude of
our fire loss constitutes a real national emer-
gency. More than 10000 lives and $561 ,O0O,-
900 worth of property were destroyed last
year. The total, unless it is checked will be
higher this year. Month after month, the
figures have been rising.
In opening the Conference, President
Truman said: "Fire Prevention is a year.
round public responsibility. l believe the
highest state and municipal officials must
assume greater responsibility for leadership
in this field" The time to act is now.

It's first phases seem bound to be
marked by disputes and litigation
as were thosed of the Wagner Act
as unions and employers test out
the new acts terms. The Supreme
Court in the end will have to de-
eide what many of them mean, as
if did with the Wagner Act and even
still is doing a decade afterwards.
Provisions which the courts are
likely to be asked to clarity particu-
larlv are those dealing with union
security, damage liability of unions
for iurisdictiOnal strikes and breach
of contract, and unfair" practices
by unions.

troversy. But where the President

vote in the Senate, Republicans cal
led upon the President to admins
ter the law fairly.
Representative Halleck of India
na, House Republican leader, ap-
pealed to the President to cooper
ate with Congress, declaring in a
statement:
The country now expects the
new labor-management law to be
administered fairly and efficiently
and with a will to settle industrial
disputes amicably under the rea-
sonable procedures provided"
Haleck said that although Mr..
Truman fought the bill, ''it is his
responsibility to see that only per-
sons with a will to make the law
work be chosen to administer it."
"The new law must not be sabo-
tagged" he continued. Congress will
be watching, and so will the people,
10 see that there is no ham-string-
ing of the act through failures in
the executive branch"
Senator Jenner (R-Ind) also is
sued a statement asserting that 1.-The
greatest danger now is that New
Deal administrators will sabotage
the law"
Senator Tafe previously had ex-
pressed confidence that Mr.. Truman
will do his best with it.
The President, who had called it
"unworkable" in his veto message
and dangerous" in a new appeal
today, had no further comment. A
secretary told him of the Senate's
action as he worked on other mat
ters in his Office.
Provisions Of Law
Under the new law unions:
l. May be sued by employers fer
breach of contract and for damages
in jurisdictiOnal strikes and second
airy bOycotts.
2. Are required by law to bargain
collectively with employers.
8. May not compel employers to
hire only union members, but still
may enter into agreement provid-
ing that all employees join the union
under certain conditions.
4. May not bargain for foremen
and supervisors.
5. Must publish financial stats
ments.
6. May not require employers to
deduct union dues from any en-
velopes unles the workers agree.
7. Lose their rights under the
Wagner Act if any officer is Com
munist or active sympathiZer.
8. May not make certain contribu-
tions and expenditures for political
purposes.
9. Are forbidden to engage in GER
tain practices held unfair"
The law also provides that the
government
l. May get iniunctiOns against
unions to stall off for 80 days a
strike which would affect the ma
tional health or safety.
2. Set uu new concilation SER
vice outside the Labor Department.
2. Enlarge the National Labor Re-
lations Board from three to five
members and overhaul the way it
works.

the Taft-Hartley Act along with the
Wagner Act. He also must name a
new general counsel for the board
who will take over soc of the fuc-
tions the board itself now has.
These appointments must be con-
tirmed by the Senate. They could
bring on a new row between the
President and the Senate if the ex-
ecutive's selections should be dis
pleasing to the senators. Mr.. Tru-
man has given no indication so far
of his choices.
The Senate and House, too, have
appointments to make-to a IA
member joint committee which is
to study the whole field of industrial
relations with an eye to further leg
islation if necessary. The commit
tee also is expected to act as the

they wound up debate. And the gal

The Senate debated for three
more hours before taking its vote
eight minutes after 8 p. m, the hour
agreed upon by unanimous consent
last Saturday when a fillbuster by
last-ditch foes of the bill broke
down.
Senator o. Mahoney (D-Wyo) told
his colleagues the measure is
"unitive bill" He declared the COP
leadership is so eager to adjourn
July 26 that it will not take the
time to write the kind of labor bill

Senator Ives (R-NY) termed the
measure "as nearly perfect as can
be obtained at this time" And he
said the Presidents veto message
was so utterly extreme in an un-
called for manner" that it "left no
room for Congress and the Presi-
dent to agree on any other labor
legislation"

Saint Louis, Missouri, January 26 Especially American
fathers are often the weakest factors in family improvement
within our country. DR.. Walter A. Maier Of Concordia Semin-
airy asserted here today in an address over the International
Lutheran Hour. Labelling the mounting domestic difficult
les in our country as both a scandal and a major menace to
the nations welfare, he laid a large part of the blame on
fathers who are "indifferent to their Codimposed duties as
directors of family affairs
The radio speaker reported that Saint Louis County, typi-
cal-abovethe- average American ommunity, last year saw two
divorces for every three marriages. He warned that the
country will face a worse homebreaking era we have ever
known. Only national reverse or religious revival. "a de-
PRECISION on a deeper Christian conscience, can check this as
sault on American marriage morals"
Discussing the various remedies pOrpOsed to check the
rate of domestic failure, DIR. Maier has agreed
with experts who say that housing shortage, poor health, and
financial difficulties are the firstline. causes for the col
lapse of American homes. Instead he made the sunber
one cause, selfishness and lust.
For a happy marriage he proposed a code featuring: l.
Parents and children United in faith and devotion toChrist.
2. Fathers, as representatives, of God who maintain Scripture
reading and prayer in the family circles. 3. Mothers who
find their highest pleasure intheir family duties, not in bust

III OMMON DEFENSE-by Req. Vim. C. Herman
THE CHRISTIAN POSITION

In November the Georgia Baptist Convention adopted a
strong resolution condemnng, as un-Christian and un-Amer-
lean, subversive organizations which spread racial and reig-
ious hate. The author of that resolution was the Rev. JOS
eph A. Rabun, pastor of the First Baptist Church of McRae,
Georgia. Americans of every faith who hailed the action of
the Georgia Baptists will welcome the statement which the
Rev. Mr.. Rabun made recently to the Georgia Citizens Coun-
Gil. 1t 4 follows:
lit is no secret to rightthinking and rightfeeIing and
right-acting people that Georgia, nor the nation, will get the
most out of its great human resources until the resources of
ALL humans are included. Some cannot climb upon the
weakness Of others. All are held down The only way
for Georgia, the South, and the world to make real progress,
economically, socially, spiritually, is for the strong to feel
their obligation to the weak, and not to proclaim from the
roof-tops their superiority. Superiority, afr all, is never in
self-assertion, but in ~self-denial. The truly superior person
COULDN'T say anything about his superiority The instant
he did SO he would have lost it.
st has been my observation, in my thirty-nine years, that
retribution has a way of overtaking persons who abuse Gods
laws of conduct. 1t caught Hitler and MussOlini, among
others. and our men didn't kill either. The gluton event
ually pays for his gluttony with internal suffering. The
man who overworks his heart pays for it. The vindictive-
ness of some of our public people will catch them sometime.
Some are already being caught | am persuaded, God
movs in mysterious ways his wonders to perform The
Egyptians suffered many times because their Pharoah
wouldn't let the Israelites go. We have suffered long
enough. majorities and minorities together. | firmly be-
lieve God is leading us, in our day, to a better day and the
making of a better world. 1t calls for Christian action, not
words. We have had too many words. All the words in
the dictionary can be bought for a few cents i'm a Five and
Ten Cent Store, but right conduct is never for sale
"Baptists, and other Christians, should commit themselves
on the fundamental issues of life. Georgia Baptists have
made a stand, thank God, and thousands dare not desert
their positions. We all know the eyes of God are upon us,
and we either stand with Him, or we fail Him IF God be
with us. who can be against us?'"
