TERRORISM anu So"ss0hsih0 D''"A'
intimidation based on the convic-
ton and execution of German war
mongers after trials before Allied
tribunals.
Moscow is now reminding Amer
leans in public life what they
must expect if they insist on block
ing Russia's worldwide program OF
expansion.
Andrei A. Zhdanov, powerful
member of the. Moscow Politbureau
attacked American "Hitlerites" in
his statement before the Commu-
mist conference in Poland which
established the new Belgrade Infor-
nation Bureau. This attack, by the
man who is reported to be in line
to succeed Stain, is in keeping with
Mr.. Visiainsky's announcements in
New York. against individual Amer
leans.
Drafting Lists Now.
High Soviet officials are seriously
considering, it is said, drafting their
war-criminal lists now, placing in
them all who, even by implication
have refused to kowtow to their ex-
pansionist aims. This would be in
the expectation that after Amer
ica's defeat no investigation would
be necessary as to who would go
to the gallows.
To the average American this
seems ridiculous and childish. But
the Soviet official mind works
differently. In their broadcasts and
published articles the Russians are
already drafting the indictment of
their enemies in the United States.

Writer Sees Chef Truman Scrambling
Hens. Eggs, Grain and the Police State

about chickens and eggs. AS to
just which does come first, I hope
that Mr.. Truman will elucidate at
his next press conference.
Wise old hens doubtless under
stood what President Truman was
trying to say, even if giddy young
"debs" did not take 1t seriously
Chickens might even organize a
union, and tack up signs reading
"No grain. no eggs!" This would solve
two problems: There would be
fewer eggs to eat, and there should
certainly be more grain, unless the
hens should eat twice as much on
Fridays to make up for the Thurs
day fast.
Proclamation Might Help.
It might be we'll also to tell our
hens that they are not being dis
criminated against; that they are
not second-class or third-class poul-
try because guineas hens, to say
nothing of geese, are not told to
eat less grain. Possibly another
White House committee could be
picked, representing New Hampshire
Reds, White Leghorns, Plymouth
Rocks, and even Bantams, without
any race discrimination, 70 institute
a voluntary system Of grainless
Thursdays. One never knows what
can be done until 1t is tried, and
the mere threat of a presidential
proclamation might bring the hens
up short.
There is another saving that may
be expected from grainless Thurs
days for the eggless hens. AS every
one knows, after she has laid her
daily egg, the hen loudly cackles.
Even the rooster is likely to do the
same thing, just like the triumphant
father who passes around the cigars
and receives the congratulations
when his wife has had the baby. The
victory of the rooster over the egg
is only a vicarious one, but he would
have nothing to cackle about If there
were no egg laid on the grainless
Thursday. But, just in order not
to interfere too severely with the
daily routine of the hen. she might
be given a correspondents csrd and
admitted to a presidential press con-
ference. There she would have
something indeed to cackle about,
especially If she should glance in
the direction of Braintruster Cliff
ford and watch his efforts to pre-
serve his calm demeanor while the
Chief of State, to the delight of
the Republicans, is recklessly
scrambling together hens. eggs,
grain, and the police state, in
manner that can never be un-
scrambled.
Beware of the chickens that come
home to roost, Mr.. President.
(Copyrlght, 1947).
Evening star., 1947-10-24

it was offered to the hungry guests
in scrambled form, along with hens
and the police state" Altogether
it was one of the most conglom-
crate hashes that Chef Truman
has so far produced in his tardy
effort to alleviate the hunger OF
desperate millions of men, women
and children facing starvation fare
next winter in Europe.
James l.. Wright, correspondent
of the Buffalo Evening News, was
trying to elicit from President Tru-
man the reason for asking the peo-
pie to go without eggs or poultry
on Thursdays. Are you going to
have the chickens go without grain
on the seventh day of the week?'
he asked. But the alert Mr.. Tru-
man promptly retorted that it was
like the question which came first
the chicken or the egg" He added
that what he was trying to do was
to prevent grain from being fec
to poultry and livestock" @. E. D.
Inc hcdI QucStlOH,
OF course, the real question was
Are chickens to be fed on Thurs
days when they may not themselves
be eaten on that day? If they
should be killed for the table, their
appetites would be cut off just be-
hind the head. Cattle can be put
on grass or hay for meatless Tues
days, but chickens must be fed
grain on Thursdays. And if they
are fed they are likely to lay eggs
which also may not be eaten. even
although the grain has been con-
AS a citizen who lives on farm
the chief business of which is the
of chickens and the produc-
ton of eggs, I have searched my
mind for an answer to Mr.. Wrights S
question. My conclusion
is that President Truman laid an
egg, and a china one at that, at
his press conference. which comes
first, the chicken or the egg," was
not even good repartee. He might
have suggested that we educate our
hens and appeal to their sense of
loyalty. I believe that this would
be the proper approach. Let us
assure the hens that if we are not
going to eat them or their eggs
on Thursdays, it is their patriotic
duty not to eat grain on Thursdays.
They should be told that the rea-
son that we keep the electric lights
on in their houses at night is not
to encourage them to eat more
grain in order to produce more
eggs, but to enable them to read
Mr.. Truman's interviews and profit
by some of his profound remarks

able John L. Lewis appears COM
mitted to the program. So also is
the belligerent A. J. Whitney, of the
Railroad Brotherhoods, who not so
long ago threatened to wipe Mr.
Truman out of political existence
with his $1,000,000 fund. Thus. not
since 1886, when Mr.. Lewis was head
of the CIO and the late Mr.. Roose-
velt had linked himself with that
faction, has there been anything
like this degree of unity.
Already elaborate labor propa-
ganda to make it effective has be-
gun to pour out IN what it is stated
will be an increasing stream. This
Is, we are told, the most important
campaign in the history of the
labor movement. In their recent
gatherings both organizations staked
their political future on the out
come. This being so, it is worth
while to set down clearly the basic
things upon which the bosses are
united.
First, there is the unequivocal
insistence that the Taft-Hartley
Act is a "monstrous iniquity'' which
has reduced members of labor unions
to the status of slaves; second,
there is the effort to force repeal
of this law by the next Congress;
third, there is the listing of all
those who favored the act as labor S
enemies" men to be driven from
public life.
Lined Up Against COP.
1t is interesting to point out ex-
actly where this puts the labor
bosses. In the first place, it places
them definitely against the Repub-
lican Party. For, whether the latter
nominates Gov. Dewey Or Senator
Taft, Gen. Eisenhower or former Gov.
Stassen, Gov. Warren or Senator
Vandenberg, its presidential candi-
date and its platform alike will
strongly indorse the Taft-Hart1ey
Act. Anything else would be ridicu-
lous reputation of the entire Re-
publican representation in House
and Senate. Obviously, the stand
of the labor bosses throws them be-
hind Mr.. Truman, the inevitable
Democratic nominee, who, under
CIO pressure and with very bad
advice, vetoed the Taft-Hartley bill,
denouncing it in labor-leader Ian
guage. To be consistent, he must
favor repeal.
But the great embarrassment both
for the labor bosses and Mr.. Tru-
man is that a majority of the
Democrats in Congress voted for
the Taft-Hartley bill and thus are
classed as "labor's enemies" ANY,
thing like a platform denunciation
of the Act, which the labor bosses
are sure 70 demand. would amount
to reading these Democrats out of
their party. No one yet has sug-
gested how the Democratic Con-
vention will meet this situation.
"significant" Election.
There are two other embarrasS
ments. One comes from knowledge
that their basic assumption of the
wickedness of the Taft-Hartley Act
is a fake and fraud. Only the COM
pletely uMntelligent swallow that
loud d-mouthed claim. to sustain
which not a single plausible argu-
ment is made nor scintilla of
evidence offered.
The other is the election q few

eGreat Game0fP0litiCs
Signs Seen That Labor Can't Deliver
In Issue Against Taft Hartley Act

weeks ago in the Eighth Pennsyl-
vania district. There Republican
who had voted for the Taft Hartley
bill was up for reelection. The
Democratic candidate was CIO
member. 1t will be recalled that the
AFL and the Railroad Brother
hoods as we'll as the CIO supported
him with everything they had
leaders, statements, publicity
money, workers and propaganda.
They themselves announced the
result would be nationally signifi-
cant. The Republican candidate
not only won but won by increased
maj jorities, not only in the rural
districts but in the industrial cities
of Allentown and Bethlehem. No
politician in either party has for
gotten that result.
The final embarrassment is that
the Greens, Murrays, Whitneys and
others, who by the unrestrained
ferocity of their denunciations are
irrevocably committed, and yet cer-
tainly are not Communists, never
theless find the Communists are
with them on their chief "objec-
tive" The Daily Worker takes ex-
actly the same line toward the act
as do both CIO and AFL publica-
tions. So does the American Labor
party, of New York, concededly
Communist controlled, and without
whose 100000 votes there is no
chance of Democratic success in
that State.
Painful Position.
Considering these things, a charge
of extreme stupidity can be made
against the labor BOSSES After IA
years of governmental subserviency
and presidential coddling their own
excesses and arrogance resulted in a
remarkable overturn in the 1916
election. The Taft Hartley Act was
the first regulatory measure to be
enacted since 1888. It had heavy
bipartisan and popular support. 1t
corrects some abuses and curtails
some power but on the whole is
helpful to and wholesome for the
rank and file of organized labor. In
stead of accepting the act, the bosses
have screeched defiance and concen-
trated upon an absurd and unscru-
pulous Misrepresentation of the
facts.
The position into which they have
gotten is painful one. They have
gone so far they cannot retreat.
They are on the unpopular side of
an issue they never should have
made. In the coming campaign they
will make frightful lot of noise,
but the signs are clear they cannot
deliver their own vote and the in
dicated defeat will defate these
staggering bullies for long time to
come. This they richly deserve and
the deflation will be extremely bene-
fetal to long -suff ering country.

the cocker Spdu-
lei family, I tried to find a man
who specialized in designing and
building dog houses. But appar-
emily there isn't such specialist
anywhere.
So, I decided to tackle the job
myself. The more I thought about
it. the more the idea appealed to
me. AS sketch after sketch flew
from beneath my nimble fingers, I
started dreaming dreams. Honest
ly, why couldn't I become the Frank
Lloyd Wright of dog houses?
The Great Architect.
When I would walk down the
street people would point me out,
saying, There goes McLemore, the
great dog house architect. He Gid
the Woolworth Vanderbilt dog
house, you know, and is now work
ing on the skyscraper dog house
for the United Nations per-
manent quarters. He started hum
bly,, too. Just small dog house in
his own back yard, but his genius
was soon recognized, and today he
goes all over the world building
them. And they say he can name
his own price. Yet people who
know him say his success hasn't
gone to his head bit, and that he
is the same simple, genial, sweet,
gracious, modest fellow that he was
before fame and riches were his"
did at least so designs before I
decided on the one for my back
yard. They all had a certain SINH
larity because I was heavily influ-
enced by the basic design OF an
early Georgian packing box I saw
over back of the grocery store.
Frankly, when began pricing lum-
ber, I was sorely tempted to use
just the packing box with a little
chicken wire around it for the
house, but ambition caused me to
spurn this temptation.
For week the neighborhood
resounded to the good sound of a
dull saw shrieking through poor
lumber, the merry tap-tap of a
hammer knocking in nails cross
ways, and the gay blasphemy of
the carpenter as nothing fit and
everything went wrong.
Passersby Gaze.
Long before it was finished, the
edifice began to attract attention.
Passersby stopped to gaze and ask
me what in the world I thought I
was building. But with the simple
dignity of a man who works with
his two hands, I always had a ready
answer. "a dog house and pen," I
would say. .......-
One interested visitor brought
up an excellent point.
How high can you Jump" he
asked.

Soviet Campaign of Intimidation Seen
In Listing of American 'Warmongers'

have been added to the Soviet roll
in the last 48 hours. Their case
is dwelt on in detail in prosecution
fashion in Moscow broadcasts.
The long list of American war
is being increased daily.
Alf Landon, Republican presiden-
tial candidate in 1896, and Carroll
Reece, chairman. of the Republican
National Committee, were included
in the list last Monday. Mr..
Reece is denounced not only as an
enemy of the U. S. S. R., but also
as the enemy of American workers
and farmers. The principal accusa-
ton against Mr.. Landon is that he
tried to sabotage President Roose-
velt's policies.
High on the list of men to be
subjected to the fiery indictment
of Mr.. Vishinsky, the Soviet chief
prosecuting attorney, is Walter Win
chell, the radio commentator The
bill of particulars against Mr.. Win
chell is shorter. His case is summed
up as follows: There is no point
in going into his antecedents, If
for no other reason than that
they make one sick"
The official broadcaster in Mos
COW evidently had forgotten that
Mr.. Winchell until last year had
leaned way over backward to praise
the bravery of the Soviet Army and
to dispel suspicious about the sin
cere willingness of the Kremlin to
cooperate for the creation of a
peaceful world.
Generals and Admirals.
OF course the top-ranking Amer
ican generals and admirals all have
honored places on the list of war
criminals, as have some lesser lights,
like Capt. Ellis M. zacharias, who
waged a clever psychological cam
paign against the Japanese few
months before their surrender.
Even men unknown to the Amer
lean public, like Virgil Jordan, presi-
dent of the National Industrial Con-
ference Board, is on the Soviet list
of "warmongers."
The Soviet propaganda campaign
proclaims that America, spurred by
its main political figures (omitting.
of course, Henry A. Wallace, Senator
Pepper and Senator Taylor, is
ready to wage an 'imperialistic war
for world domination
The Soviet leaders are convinced
that the United States will be mill
tarily defeated. Since the Nuern-
berg trials have now set a precedent,
they are preparing the list of men
they want to see in the dock when
their victory is complete.

Finally it was finished If I do

with the flowers and trees.
The dogs don't appreciate it, how

I shove them in 1t, and cringe to-

Even the birds that occasionally

store tomorrow and see If by any
chance that packing box is still
