THE STRATEGY ON BILBo

It was Senator Vandenberg of Michigan, with hackstage support from Senator Wayne Morse of Ore gon, who forced the closed door COP steering committee to take a definite stand fer the immediate barring oi Senator Bilbo
 Senator Bob Taft of Ohio had proposed that the fight on Bilbo be deferred until after the Presidents message on the State of the Union Fearing such a move, Morse had talked things over beforehand with Vandenberg, as well as with Sena- tors Knowland of California and Hickenlooper of Iowa. All agreed that the best Bilbo strategy was for the Senate to stay in continu- GUS session.
 Senator Chapman Revercomb of West Virginia, however. was ready 10 follow Taft's proposal He want cd to hear the Presidents message, he said. and he thought his col leagues did too.
 T find myself in complete dis agreement with the Senator from West Virginia" countered Vanden- berg, thereby automatically passing

Labor Legislation; Neither in Haste
 Nor in Hate
New York Sum


 Members of Congress identified only responsible Republican leaders" are indirectly quoted to the effect that the Republican majority in the Senate and House of Representatives in the next Congress does not plan any punitive legislation against labor It is not clear what this vague declaration means, but if it means that the Republican majority in Congress will discard vindctiveness and haste in the approach to legislation on a subject of such critical importance there will De general applause from all quarters
 No group of Republicans, whether responsible lead CTS or not speak for all members of the majority in the Eightieth Congress. That much is clear from what has been said in the days since the election o November g. Senator Wayne Morse of oregon for example has interpreted the results as imposing an obligation upon Republicans to make almost no change in the labor laws. Senator Joseph H. Ball Of Minnesota reading the returns, has interpreted them calling for fundamental amendment of the Wagner Act to make it equally fair to labor and management and for drastic restriction of the loose powers of the National Labor Relations Board
 It is not the duty of Republican leaders in Con- gress such expressions of opinion or to bock legislative proposals It is not their duty to pretend to monotonous unanimity of opinion that has never existed in any artyexcept possibly one within reach of the cable from Moscow What Senators White Taft, vandenberg and Wherry and Representatives Martin Haleck Brown and others can do is to set an appropriate mood for consideration of all proposals however well ill advised. Such a mood it may fairly be suggested, should avoid the extremes of emotional haste and of cold-blooded dallance. What is truly and fundamentally corrective and constructive will be punitive only for those who are in the business of exploiting unfair advantages.
 One thing that Senator Morse said in his post election comment is obviously true-that the Repub- licans could not have won in many districts without the votes of hundreds of thousands of members of labor unions. In some quarters this wholly obvious fact will be used argument for saling on leg islation until after 1948 but the vote on November , was not vote for stallng and inaction Those mem- bers of unions who voted for Republican candidates did so because the secret ballot provided them with ther only effective weapon against abuses of power of which they just well aware as are those outside labor unions There general agreement that the Republicans should go slow about writing sweep ing new labor legislation about wholesale repeal of existing laws. But the caution of this approach IS justified both by the seriousness of the whole problem and by consideration of the further harm that could be done by hastily contrived or vindctvely inspired remedies

ANNUAL DINNER OF
 ST. MARGARET'S GUILD
 IS HELD LAST EVENING

St. Margaret's Guild of the Church of the Holy Trinity held its annual dinner meeting last evening in the Parish Hall, with Mesdames Verna Buckley, Earl Estepp, Homer Garvin, H. " Jorgenson, Ernest Lincoln, James McNamara, Eugene Nelson, and Harold Brown as host esses
 After a short business session, an enjoyable and interesting movie was shown. Following this, the re- mainder of the evening was spent playing games for the White Ele- plants which the members had brought. This is always feature of the yearly dinner and affords much entertainment.
 Mrs. David Ramsey will be the hostess for the next meeting which will be held on February 12, at her home, $40 Tenth Street.

over the fact that he was also in complete disagreement with Taft. T think we Republicans have got to carry this fight through now, and the way to do it is by stay ing in continuous session.
 Morse could not resist the temp tation also to take issue with Rev ercomb
 T don't want to hear any mes sage from the President before this Senate is organized" he said. T remember that the last time the President addressed joint session he asked us to do something un- constitutional and it was rushed through the House and we had a lot of trouble holding it up here. tTrumans proposal to draft rail- way Strikers) For all I know. the President may ask something un- constitutional again, and I for one want to know that we are in po- sition to organize to block any precipitate action for which we will be sorry later.
 Finally, Taft yielded and word was passed around that the Re- publicans were prepared to sit 1t out indefinitely. This decision was a major factor in the Democratic compromise to keep Bilbo from his seat for two months.

ADVICE FOR CONGRESS

The Eightieth Congress, now in session, does not find itself wanting for advice Since the electorate on November wrote finis to New Dealism there have been many suggestions of how the Congress should answer the protest recorded at the polls
 Among these is an impressive letter to the leg slators from E. F Hutton business man and philan- thropist which has drawn special attention because it has appeared in the form of ull-page advertise newspapers of the Nation This letter makes two main pleas
 Curb irresponsible power, and
 End waste in government.
 It argues that the election established mandate to halt bureaucratic interference into the lives and liberties Of the people, to make certain that all legislation applies equally to all groups and indi- viduals to prevent economic and to encourage the free enterprise system which built this country from thirteen weak colonies into the No. world Power

TOO MANY READERS FOR
 NEWSPRINT

Working at cross purposes re- garding this investigation were two sets of circumstances and lobby istS One was the fact that there now are l,0O0,0O0.00o people in the world who can read. And the greater number of people who can read, the greater the demand for newspapers and newsprint. Rus sia, once with only 25 percent Of it's people literate, now is 75 per- cent literate Education also has increased in Latin America, Europe, Asia and the United States. Thus the problem Of neWsprint is seri- GUS and will become more so.
 Simultaneously the big maga- zines, especially Time, Life, For tune. The Saturday Evening Post; the big Trade Journals. such as Iron Age; and some of the big newspapers, such as the Chicago Tribune, New York News. and New York Times have cornered many of the pulp mills Of the United States and Canada. This has left scores of smaller papers out in the cold.
 Approximately 1000 of these smaller papers had written to Sem atcr Murray urging that the Sem ate small business committee probe the news monopoly. On the other hand, the big newspapers, magazines and trade journals were dead opposed. One ol their lobby ists, William L. Daley of the Ma tional Editorial Association (actu- ally a lobbying front for the big trade journalsl, was busy as a bird dog trying to kill the investi- gation.
 Another probe opponent was Senator Taft, whose family owns the prosperous Cincinnati Times Star. and who gets enthusiastic political backing from his close friend Henry Luce. publisher oi Time. Life and Fortune.
 Another thing which worried the big boys were certain facts which the small business committee plan ned to expose regarding Post Oi- flee subsidies to big magazines. The committee was pianl.ng ,o show, for i..s,aHce. that T,nfe, Life and Fortune received an annual subsidy from the U. S. Post Office

 Last week, however, after whisp- cred conferences with COP king makers Taft and White, Wherry abruptly strode across the Senate floor to inform Murray:
 You will not begin hearings on Tuesday mc-,...ng. The whole thing is ofi
 You ---!" exploded the Montana Senator.
 However he was helpless. With the Republicans in the majority, there was nothing he could do. Ac- cordingly about 40 scheduled wit nesses, SCme en route from various parts of the country, were called off. Among them was Secretary of the Interior Krug who planned to propose that Alaskan forests be open for American newsprint- f Congress gave him the proper authority and cooperation.

Department of S3,50O,0O0 a year. while most daily newspapers get only a pittance of Post Office sub sidy from second-class mailing privileges.
 Another thing that worried the big moguls was the Senate com mittee's discovery that the Post Office Department had never made any analysis of the statements of newspaper and magazine ownership filed with it quarterly in order to enjoy second class rates. The small business committee was digging in- to these files in order to aScer- tain how many magazines and papers were owned by the Copper Companies (as in Montana, how many the railroads and other big interests
 This embarrassing curoSity ap- parently was too alarming for Senators Wherry, Taft and White so WherryS previous pleQge to Senator Murray was thrown over beard
 Note-If the Republicans later go ahead with a face-saving probe, it will be only after ousting the inquisitive investigators who dug up so much embarrassing dirt for Chairman Murray.

pionship.
More than 1000 fans watched

for II yards, for the winning score.
The game was close all the way
as both teams penetrated deep into
each others territory. Blair, paced
by Ray Luckett, worked its way to
within foot of the Bethesda goal
in a 5O-yard drive in the second
period, only to be stopped by a
frightened defense Several Blair
drives were halted by fumbles.
The victory gave Bethesda a 81
