Officials Believe Time

the Greek steamer Chimarri.
sending an estimated 1872 panic
stricken persons to their deaths
yesterday in the frigid waters OF
the Gulf of Petalion, was being
investigated tonight by officials
of the Merchant Marine ministry.
The original announcement on
the sinking, the worst maritime
disaster in modern Greek history,
said the 1900 ton former German
vessel hit a mine. The ministry
did not rule Out a floating or a
magnetic mine as a cause. but
said it was also inquiring' into
whether a passenger might have
been carrying explosives.
229 People Saved
The ministry said $50 passengers
and a crew of 81 were aboard
the vessel when it left Salonika ON
Saturday. OF these 229 were saved
and 16 others, at first believed lost,
were found later to have disem-
barked at Khalkis, a seaport 30
miles north of Athens, three hours
before the explosion.
A search was continuing for
additional bodies. Some victims
we're trapped below the decks.
Divers we're being sent to the
scene in an attempt to inspect
the wreckage and ascertain the
cause of the explosion.
Prisoners Aboard
Tie Ministry of Public order
said As political prisoners bound
for exile were aboard the vessel
They were being guarded by L
gendarmes, nine of whom were
missing. The prisoners were no
in chains, but were permitted te
move in a limited space. Theil
fate, however, was not immediate
ly ascertained. Il ~
Survivors who were taken Il
Khalkis were ordered isolated by
the harbor master, who said they
would be questioned.

What's the matter with women?
I have Just finished reading a book
fresh from the publishers-the
title of which gives a broad hint
of the seriousness of its charges.
It is called Modern Woman: The
Lost Sex"
Recently there have been a num-:
Der Of magazine articles along the

that modern Womaa.is a flop and a
failure, with no satisfactory place
in the scheme of things. =
What are such writers trying to
do to us, anyhow? Make us into
a bunch of %neurotics, forever wor-
rying about our place in tee world
and stewing about the futility OF
our days?
1t seems that way. If there is
anything wrong with modem Won
an, 1 doubt that it is the fault o.
the times in which she is living,
as such viewers-With-alarm would
have US believe.
Wat is actually so frustrating
about being a woman in these
times?
Maybe We don't have to worl.
as hard as Grandma did. Is that
necessarily bad?
Perhaps we 60 yea-n 10 express
ourselves III some work outside
the home. Well, what is stopping
US? Certainly there is enough
which needs 10 be done that we
can find some niche in which to
express ourselves.
What if our homes aren't the
centers Of family living they once
were? Shouldn't that be a chal-
lange to US to try to make the
kind of homes that will draw our
husbands and children? And
haven't we more opportunity than
average women have ever had to
make a house a place for pleas.
ant living?
1t we are a lost sex-it is no
oody's fault but our own. And i.

The decision of the International UAW.
CIO executive board not to comply with the
new NLRB decision requiring affidavits of
non-communism Was as the newspapers have
stated, not unanimous. Neither was it fac
tional.
Since the Boards decision, disagreements
between the authors of the TaftHartley Act,
as well as indications that the NLRB will at
tempt to persuade its counsel, Robert Denham,
to modify his original Interpretation of the Act
amy eventually prove the Boards majority de-
cision to be right.
Some of the argument that is heard from
the rank an dfle membership to the board
members themselves is that compliance or nom
compliance with the ruling on the part of ma
tional labor organizations should be matter
for the individual Internationals to decide for
themselves.
Failure of national CIO officers to comply
with the Denham ruling should not disqualify
all Internationals affiliated with CIO from the
services of the NLRB if any affiliated unon
has the desire to comply with modified Den
ham ruling.
QUESTION OF PRINCIPLE
Even if the NLRB or Taft himself per-
Suade Denham to modify his ruling to that the
decision of one man could not prevent large
number of International unions from parh-
cipating in the Act and securing the services
of the NLRB, there will still be union leaders
who will refuse to sign statement that they
are not members of the Communist party,
although in the majority of cases, they are
not only non-communists, but are definitely
in the right wing of their respective unions.
This refusal of some leaders to sign state
ments for the NLRB is not because they are
Communists or fellow travellers but because
they consider such a requirement insult,
unAmercan and discriminatory. They point
out that law which requires labor leaders to
sign an affidavit without a samilar require
ment for the employers is discriminatory leg
islation and entirely opposed to American
tradition.
While this dispute about the Acts inter.
probation is going on, in and out of the unions,
Senator Taft who just few days ago said
that it was not the intention of the Act to deny
NLRB services to individual international
ionsif if they were willing to comply as indi-
vidual unions with the law, also conceded that
there were parts of the law which should be
altered as soon as possible.
Nobody need be deceived by Mr. Taft's
statement. He is running for office-maybe-
and would look to appear in the best possible
light, particularly before the 1948 election.
No matter what they do to the law, it is bad
an unjust law outside of actual repeal of the
whole mass

Thinking 1t Through
by BEN DOR
LPA COlumniSt

This story begins at about the same time
that Congress put out that report called Com
munism in Action"
incidentally, did you ever see that report?
1t was pretty good job. You may still be
able to get copy from your Congressman.
Most of the Congressman found it easy to
understand why they should put up the money
for report on how the Communists work.
But most of them have trouble seeing the
threat of fascism They couldn't understand
why they should put up the money for re-
port on what fascism is and how it operates.
But, when the report on Communism came
out small group of people in Washington
started out to convince Congress that people
ought to be able to recognize fascism as well
as Communism
So, report on fascism was drawn up. I'm
like the Communism one, this one was short
and skimpy. The report was against fascism
like sin-but it told you very little about
the subject. The little group got the report
sent back and had it done over. But, when
they finally got what they wanted and went
to Congress for the money to print it, Congress
said -uh.
So the fight started in Congress. The people
like Rep Wright Patman 3D., TeX) who had
sponsored the report wouldn't take no for an
answer. That was kind of new, because so
often the Congressman on the right side of an
argument like this one get tired of Scrapping
about it, This time by sticking to it, Patman
and his side won at least part of the fight.
Congress voted to put out the report, and to
put upa little dough for distributing it.
If you get copy, you'll see why the Con-
gressmen were not hot about putting the re-.
port out. Take the part on economics, for in
stance. What did the economic fascSts of
Europe stand for? What was the economic
program of fascism?
A lot of Congressman, when they saw the
report must have felt like yelling, Hey that's
my program you're talking aboutI'
Imagine how those boys felt, when they
were asked to put up money for report that
showed up the things they stand for as the
plain, simple program of economic fascism
Anyway the report is out, and l think that.
you ought to get copy-and use it to educatei
yourself and your friends.

Within the next few days
every Unit of UAW.CIO ANAL
gamated Locals as well as the
Local Unions, will receive a
plea for aid from the striking
employees of the North Electric
Co., Gallon, Ohio, who are
seeking recognition and con-
tract.
Included in the appeal will
be another separate tr ke
which is also worthy of the
support of every member of
our union, that of the employees
of Mcmillan Feed Co. of Mar
ion who are striking for wages.
The main point l would like
to make here is that Locals
and Units instead of waiting
until the appeal for funds
reaches them would be doing
the strikers in both Gallon and
Marion a real service by send
ing them a donation at the
earliest possible moment. Both
are in dire need of assistance.
About 1900 are employed by
the North Electric Co. which
has plants in Gallon, Mt. Gil.
cad and Kenton. Mcmillan
Feed is composed of 80 work
ers.
Send money orders, checks
or other donations to Joseph
Stafford, 139 f. Center ST.,
Marion, Ohio, for the McMil-
Ian Feed strikers and to Her
bert w. Arnold, Chairman
Strike Committee, 343 S. Mar
ket, Gallon, o.
One thing l would like to
point out before closing this
appeal is the fact that every
member of the Mcmillan Feed
union donated 81 each week
to the strike of the Case, GIN
and Mack Truck workers last
year. One good turn deserves
another and now they need
your support.
We have done everything
possible to get the North Elec-
trio Co. to agree to negotiate
a contract, but so far
have not been successful. The
winning of this strike, particu-
larly at this time, is highly i'm
portant to the people in the
employ of this corporation as
we'll as to every union men,
ber in this part of the country.
We should all do our bit to
help them win and in so doing
protect ourselves from a SINH
lar situation.
Fraternally yours,
