INTERESTING NEW TWIST

The Salisbury Post gave the story a
Man Bites Dog" headline when it pub
lished the fact that a former Clio organizer
there has filed suit wit hthe National
Labor Relations board charging the Clio
organizing committee Of Charlotte with
unfair labor practices.
He alleged he was discharged from
MS dulles as an organizer with the CIO
committee because Of his membership in
and activities on behalf Of the Oroani
zers Independent union, composed of CN
organizers.
His custer, he continued, was desiqnel
TO discourage membership in his specia
union. The Clio committee, he asserted
will probably contend that he was lait
oft because Of a reirenchment program
during which a large number Of orqani
zers were dropped because Of a lack. 9
funds. The ex-business agent. however
declares that this is not SO and that h
has a witness TO back his statement.

SENSIBLE BILL

AT long last, something may be done
about those thoughtlessly cruel persons
who leave small children confined in au-
iomobiles, often locking the car and clos
Ing its windows.
A bill has been introduced in the North
Carolina legislature by Columbus coun-
tvs Senator Julius K. Powell TO make
such a practice a misdemeanor. II is de-
signed TO safeguard those seven years Of
age or less left without someone at least
IA years old in attendance.
Many a person has often noticed, with
alarm, a frightened and screaming child
in an automobile in the downtown Sec
lion. Police have been called and, when
there appeared TO be danger Of s%uffoca-
tion. have had 10 break a window Of the
locked car. When those responsible for
the disgraceful situation returned, a strong
reprimand was as far as the officer could
90. II Senator Powells measure is ap-
proved, then the policeman can take more
drastic measures which have been LONG
needed
The Legislation may open the way for
another possible service 10 shoppers by
an e%nterprising Merchants association. A
baby tending arrangement may seem
trivial but that such a need exists is prov

be an accommodation that many a shop

facts, ii appears the Clio, most anxious
TO organize practically everyone else
doesn't intend 10 allow any such golngs
on within lis own ranks. We don't have
an idea how the plaintiff will come out
in his appeal to the NLRB but apparently
his case is just as strong as some Inc
Clio has taken before the federal agency.
Anyway, its an Interesting new fwlsl
in labor relations and, considered as a
whole, a glazing example of first class
hypocrisy.

SAFEGUARDS NEEDED

Hax k0OGAkkO0 VSAD-
Material aid to small business by the
federal government is tremendously i'm
portant in completing the reconverSlon
program and laying the foundation Tor
the prosperity anticipated in the years
ahead.
We do not care for this aid TO be in the
form of financial subsidization. Neither
will TOO much bureaucratic advice and
interference be appreciated.
What is desired more than anything else
is ample protection against the powers oil
biq business combines. Often small bust
ness is defenseless in the face OF arrange
mems effected with its good welfare the
last thought in mind. Scattered through
out the country and often loosely organic
ed, ii is simply no match for the mightier'
more compact groups. 1t is in situations
like this that federal assistance, in the
form of adequate safeguards, is most valu-
able.
AS an example cited with considerable
professional interest, Senator James E.
Murray, Montana Democrat, has charged
that big newspapers, magazines and
paper mill operators are controlling the
price, production and distribution" of
newsprint.
Linked with his Indictment was a call
on Congress TO break this bottleneck."
He declared small newspapers are help
less in the face Of growing big publisher
big mill arrangements which cut out the
small users" Senator Murray, ex-chair-
man Of the Senate Small Business COM
mittee, also revealed a hitherio-secret
report made by the Federal Trade COM
mission in 1889 on the "newsprint paper
decree investigation"
Note the date Of that report. It's eight
years old but only recently was it clear
Ell" by Attorney General Tom C.. Clark and
the ETC
II disclosed several Interesting Items.
Among them were the charges that prices
Of newsprint for part or all the United
States are set at private meetings in
Canada, outside the Jurisdiction Of this
country; three chains consumed rs per
cent Of the %newsprint used in 1923, and
the newsprint industry is almost exclu-
sivelY a Canadian one.
Senator Murray ended his observations
with the declaration that Congress must
take the lead in cooperating with our
northern ~neighbors TO see TO it that monop-
olistic pressure-from Canadian mills or
United States publishers is taken off
small papers"
Newsprint is the life's blood of any
publication. The amount available de-
termines, more than anything else, its
latitude OF service to its territory. And
today, from the smallest weekly TO the
most important statewide daily, it is the
publishers principal problem. The degree
TO which he solves it fixes the standard
Of the paper you pick up each morning
or afternoon on your front porch.
Therefore, Senator Murray's alertness
and demand for correction of the predica-
ment is more than a step toward assisting
small business. Ii is one made directly
in your interest. But he cannot WAGE
his good fight alone. Now a member Of
the minority, he must have the assistance
OF many OF his contemporaries if any real
Roadway is to be made
Meanwhile, our best thanks 90 to him
TOR his well-backed demand for fair play
and the desire TO effect the kind Of aid
small business needs most.

The trend of Mr.. Truman's popu-

e~xpectedly in April, 1945, was, after
hitting a highpoint just before VI
Day, steadily downward.
The down trend continued until
right up before the elections in No
vember, when the President hit a
low approval rating of only 80 per
cent.
Since that time, the Institute has
found Mr.. Truman moving along
the comeback trail.
The trend is shown in the table

The Gallup Poll
Truman;s Popularity Continues Climb;
Rating Moves Up is Pc rcentage Points
BY GEORGE GALLUP
Director, American Institute
of Public Opinion

PRINCETON, N. j., FEB. l. -
Political observers who have beer
counting President Truman out Of
the 1913 presidential ace have fail
ed to take into account the Presi-
dents recuperative powers.
While his personal popularity rat
ing is still a long way from its high
of 81 per cent in July of 1915, it
has bounced back with remarkable
vigor since last October, just be-
fore the elections.
At the present time 48 per cent OF
the voters say they approve of the
kind Of job the President is doing.
This is a jump Of Is percentage
points since October, when the Tru-
man rating stood at a low of 80 per
cent.
Washington observers may e in
this strong upsurge that 1946 is go
ing to be no picnic for the Republi-
can presidential candidate.
In gauging the Presidents pop
ularity at regular intervals, the In
stitute has field reporters ask this
question of voters in every state in
the nation:
do you approve or disapprove
Of the way Mr.. Truman is handling
his Job as PreSident?"

TRUCKING FIRMS
SCHEDULE FARLEY
Local Representatives OF
Private Firms Will
Discuss Measure

Discussion. of House Bill 106
which is designed to further regu-
late motor carriers in the state
will be the chief topic of discussion
at a meeting of private truck rep
resentatives of Wilmington in the
Woodrow Wilson hut Friday after
noon at three o'clock.
Col. H. E. Boyd, traffic manager
of the Wilmington Port-Traffic as
ISOLATION, is handling the details of
the meeting.
The bill under sector four in
its present status would place all
private truck operators under the
Utilities Committee where their
regulations would differ, however
under section five the utilities COM
mittee would have general powers
and it would be their duty to regu-
late private vehicles under section
4 at any time they believed neces-
sary, he explaind.
In a meeting held March 8, rel
alive to all private truck opera
COlS, StCtlOu 1our VI C1e I'LL Wds
explained. This section was OBJ
jectionable at this time and Boyd
along with J. H. Farrell, industrial
agent, has been trying to change
this section.
They have been working towards
denying the right of the utility
committee to have authority to
regulate private trucks in the state,
he stated.
Also under section seven of the
act, if passed in present status, it
would prohibit any common or re
stricted common carrier from OPP
Grating in N. C. which was not
operating: on Jan. 1, 1915, he said.
This was objectional due to the
fact that ex-GI's who have gone in
the trucking business in North
Carolina would absolutely be de-
MED the right to operate, even I'M
der the G. I. Bill lof Rights, he
added.
