Connecticut's s Shame!

GIVEN of the eight men who O make up Conn.'s delegation in Congress again voted against the people this week when they voted in favor of the tax reduction" bill which President Truman has once before vetoed, and which he vetoed again.
 Only Sen. Brien McMahon voted for the people by opposing the bill. Sen. Baldwin and the states six representatives voted for it.. Here is why labor opposed the bill, and why Pres. Truman vetoed it:
 Under this measure, tax savings to the average family with an in- come of $2,5OO would be less than $50 annually, while taxes on an inc come of $5O,OOO would be reduced by nearly $5,OOO, and on an inc come of $5OO,O0O by nearly $6O,- 900.
 As far as ''take-home" pay is concerned, the family earning $2,SOO would receive an increase of l.2 per cent; the family with an income of $5O,OOO would receive an increase of l8.6 per cent; and the family with an income of $5OO,- 900 would receive an increase of 62.S per cent.

Coming & Going They Get Us!

WASHINGTON (LPA) = The nations organized workers-chief vic tims of the Taft-Hartley law-are go- ing to have to pay as taxpayers thru the nose for its enforcement.
 Congress received a Budget Bureau request, over President Truman's signature, for appropriations amount ing to $6,900,3O0 for the enlarged NLRB and for the new Federal Me diation Service for the rest of this year. Of the total sum, $4,025, 300 will go to the NLRB which most unions have decided to ignore completely. The other $2,650O000 goes to the new mediation service. The NLRB, which has been starved for funds in the past can now hire up to 1000 new en- ployes under its new budget.

THEY ALL HIT
 Cooper hit one with the bases loaded; Mize hit one; Gordon hit one. l tell you, George, it was ter rible.
 The Giants had IS runs at the end of three innings. Even Brook lyn fans gave up on that ball game. But they stayed around to root for something, and this was very good to see.
 They were roofing for Jackie Rob- inson to get hit and run his streak to l9 straight games.
 The stands would come alive when ever Robbie came to bat. When he dropped beautiful bunt down the third base line in one of the middle innings, and beat the throw by three strides, the applause was thunderous. He added a double ill the ninth to make 1t convincing.
 That was one evidence of how Brooklyn fandom has come to re- spect and like Jackie Robinson. An even more striking example came in the second when the Giants were on 9-run rampage. Robbie boot ed routine bounder. Nobody hOOted. A fan near me yelled, 'Okay, Jackie, everybody kicks one." That, for Brooklyn, was the genuine Mccoy.
 Robinson, for several months, must have been the loneliest man the sports world ever knew. It's tough enough to be rookie on the big time It's even

harder when you're a rookie who, the day before the season opens, is offered a first baseman's mitt and told to play position you never played before. And when all that comes on top of being the first Negro player in big league history, then it's the limit.
 After Cleveland signed Larry Dolby, the yOungster was so nervous he could hardly talk. Yet the pres- sure on Dolby, while immense, was nothing compared to what it had been on Robinson.

July 4

AS this nation celebrates its Hist birth
day there are many things to reflect on.
Individually speaking I'll lis beyond ex-
pectations, but for our nation it is a very
young age, comparatively Yet within this
age much has been learned and more and
more knowledge is being acquired
In the days and years that lie ahead
Of us and as a nation we are confronted
with what seem to be impossible tasks, it
will be we'll to remember those men and
women of America that have come before
us. While circumstances are scarcely ever
the same, neither mans habits or wants
have changed very greatly, relatively
speaking. Yet the men and women who
came before us did accomplish what they
set out to do so surely it should not be so
hard for us who follow them. We have
their example, they had only their cour-
age and their faith in mankind. On this
our birthday it will be we'll to remember
Columbus, George Washington, Edison
the Wright brother and many other Amer
leans that have played vital part in the
development of our country.
In speaking Of birthdays we heard
common-sense lecture delivered by a
father to his son the other day, when he
pointed out that the birthday was import
ant only in that the son made it so, by
accomplishing something. Few of us can
expect a national holiday on our birthday,
but as individuals we can mean something
to our country, state and nation, by becom-
ing better citizens and by discouraging
those who would destroy the principles on
which this nation was founded.
Let US remember that this our nation
is "of the people, for the people and by the
people," This should make it clear that
all handouts, SO to speak must be paid for
by all the people. And as patriotic citi-
zens we must get over the idea of expect
ing something for nothing. Each individ-
ual is an integral part of this nation and
must feel a definite responsibility. Let's
rededicate ourselves on this July 4 to the
principals of real Americanism, not sub
stitutes or compromises.

Economic Cooperation

Hearings before the Joint Congressional
Committee on the Economic Report got
off to an excellent start the other day
when c. E. Wilson, president of General
Motors, offered this three-Way counsel:
To WOrkerS-"TO balance supply and
demand and increase productivity without
serious unemployment requires the right
attitude on the part of Workmen, willing
ness to learn new jobs and achieve the
extra production made possible by i'm
proved processes and the superior tools
provided Otherwise, the fruits of technolo-
gical improvements are dissipated through
Misunderstanding"
To Likewise, to balance
supply and demand and to increase pro-
ductivity without unemployment requires
the right attitude on the part Of industry
ard business men generally to accept the
challenge of competition @ to strive to
earn profits bv delivering an ever better
value for the customers dollar, and not
just to sit by and collect a toll Only this
will maintain confidence Of customers.
To Governmental Government can
help, not by going into competition with
its citizens nor by attempting to regulate
production, wages and prices, but by legis-
lation which fosters free competition with
in business and labor The peaks and the
valleys of the business cycle can be i'm
pOrtantly influenced and leVeled out by
sound fiscal policies on the part Of the
Government. Government policies should
not promote initiation, and needless taxes
must not be collected from the people. Fee
deral expenditures not directly contribut-
ing to the welfare and standard of living
of our citizens must be avoided. Such non
productive governmental expense reduces
the average standard of living by about
the same proportion of the national in
come that it represents. All citizens must
realize we cannot have an economy of
plenty if millions look to the Government
for something for nothing and do not
make the effort to look after themselves.
Government policies must encourage in
dividual competence and not subsidize in
efficiencies and laziness in any FORM
No sounder pattern could be offered
those trying to solve our economic pro-
blems.
