bers of the City Planning Com
mission headed by Mr.. John
Howard, Director, appeared at
the Slovene National Home, to
discuss the proposed rezoning
of the area between East list
and East 10th Streets.
The plan as explained by
Councilman Kovacic and the
members of the commission,
met with the approval of prac-
tically everyone present, with
the exception of some minor
changes to be made.
A five year program is near
ing completion, a tribute to the
aggresiveness of one Of Coun-
cil's most able members, Ed
ward J. Kovacic from the 23rd
Ward. This last phase of re-
zoning will complete the neigh
borhood from East 55th to
East 10th Street. The farsight-
edness of Councilman Kovacic
has enabled the 23rd Ward to

SNPJ Farm:-
Early in June President
Tony Kerze from lodge Com
rades expects to take charge
Of the SNPJ Farm. The con-
struction Of some kind Of a
building is close to realization.
Topic of a fireplace inside the
building took up most Of the
discussion at the last Comrades
meeting. Leveling and grading
of the ball field will soon COM
mence. The back stop and bags
for the ball diamond have al
ready been purchased, the
Cleveland Athletic League
adopting this phase of improve
ment as their particular pro-
ject. Swings for the play
ground are promised for deliv-
cry latter part of June, pur-
chased by the Comrades. The
Utopians are discussing the
purchase Of slide. The balina
courts are in need of repair.
No doubt lodge Naprej or Lun-
der Adamic will undertake this
expense. Loyalites and strug-
glers have also indicated. their
desire of pushing a particular
project. Progressive Slovene
Women or Napredne Slovenke
will probably want to take care
of>the kitchen utensils. The re-
birth Of the Farm will provide
an opportunity for every lodge
in Cleveland to do their share
in addition to the financial help
requested. There will be a need
for supplies, equipment in the
bar room, the kitchen, outside
grills, benches, out houses, re-
freshment stands, etc. Every
lodge in Cleveland should pick
out some particular job they
would like to sponsor. Which
lodge will be the next to an
nounce their intention?

The Merchants Pledge

coming a thing of the past, consumers
are becoming more and more discrimi-
mating. They are demanding better
quality and values. The merchant who
makes them available will be the one
with the noisy cash register. The one
Who doesn't will stand by and watch
only the sunlight stream through his
stores doors.
It is going to require cooperation be-
tween the manufacturers and merch-
ants, with neither seeking to gain more
than a reasonable profit" to make this
pledge workable. All should realize,
including the consumer, that to effect a
practical cut in prices at wholesale and
retail outlets there must be similar
reductions at the manufacturing points.
The retailers who keep the. resolution
will benefit. So will their customers.
Those who do not are going to suf-
fer. But their patrons will not. They'll
simply take their trade to those estab-
lishments doing their best to contribute,
by the most practical means possible,
toward solution of the big problem of
present day high cost of living.

lated on their pledge.
And they must not forget that the

force it.

Goodbye To Richard,
We Hone

We thought we'd heard the last about
Richard, the stubborn, most unaccom-
modating doorman, but now comes an
item from Los Angeles disclosing that
Mrs. Richard Chason has been granted
a divorce because her Richard locked
himself in his room and wouldn't open
the door.
There's no moral to the little story
unless the song put an idea in Mr..
Chason's head. And if that should catch
on and spread, just think how much
more complicated life is going to be-
come under some Of today's tune titles.
But it did net the Chasons so words
publicity on the Associated Press wires.
Which is considerably more than many
couples who've been married so years
ever receive.

President Rejoins CIO-PAC

The Senate of the United States is
split by open revolt because President
Truman vetoed the Taft-Hartley labor
control bill, thereby refusing to approve
an honest, majority effort to return
equality in labor-management dealings.
AS this is written, the upper house
is engaged in a filibuster and there is
a possibility that the vote may not come
until early next week.
But the American people know their
House Of Representatives, in overriding
the veto, did it's full share in trying to
place some responsibility upon organized
labor and curb the damaging abuses it
has inflicted on the nation for many
years.
Mr.. Truman said the Taft-Hartley
bill would be unavoidable in practice. But
the present Wagner act, with or with
out the modification of the Smith-Con-
nally bill, has already proved so. At
best, Mr.. Truman's veto therefore would
merely return the country from some
thing he says would not work to some
thing that has not worked.
Mr.. Truman has lost the votes of
those who want fairness-by abolishing
the Wagner actin the nations labor
dealings.
Labor was looking for a man who
would not only exercise the veto powers
but who could also hold his partv in
line. Mr.. Truman lost the SUPPORT of
all voters who hoped he would sign
the bill and got little in return from
the practical unionists.

Make It An Annual Event

Selection of Miss North Carolina
Student Nurse of 1947" is progressing
so smoothly that success appears as
sured in fulfilling the events double
purpose of formally recognizing Tar
Heelia's most outstanding student in
this field and stimulating interest in
recruiting more young women for
this fine profession.
Each of the 80 schools of nursing
has or will soon appoint it's entry on
the basis of personal appearance, apti-
tude for nursing and spirit of service.
They will compete in district con-
tests and winners in that round will 90
to Raleigh, where they will be guests
of the North Carolina Hospital a%ssocia-
ton for final judging July !.
The competition is being conducted
with the dignity it deserves. There is
no doubt that the newspaper stories
and pictures will be highly beneficial in
interesting more young women in nurs-
ing as a career. It has given the pro-
fession one of the best touches of color
full, public appeal since the days of the
Cadet Nurses in their pretty gray, red
trimmed uniforms. The student nurse
came in for a lot of glamorous publicity
then and she is worthy of just as
much today.
Like every man, we always pause to
give a lingering look to the pictures of
Miss st. Louis of 1947" or Miss Apple
Blossom of the Year" in their four
ounce bathing suits. But Miss North
Carolina Student Nurse of 1947" is 60
ing to be just as attractive in her neat,
white and freshly starched uniform and
pert little cap. The photographs are
not going to emphasize sex as much as
those of the other misses OF 1947"
but they will convey a wonderful SYM
bolism of service and encourage greater
admiration and appreciation of the nurs-
ing profession.
The contest is good public relations.
But there are also other advantages in
contributing to the spirit and morale
of the young students. So much so, in
fact, that it should be made an annual
event with %the-honors and favors so at
tractive that the competition among
those in the various schools will become
comparable to that of vying for other
forms of distinction during their train
ing periods.
The Wilmington morning star., 1947-06-22

to live up to the standards of states
manship required of his high office. He
bowed to the threats Of a minority.
But even more serious than the well
fare of the bill itself is the fact that
his veto placed him back with the CIO-
PAC crowd. A few days ago, Chairman
Hartley of the House LABOR committee
charged that the one document Mr..
Truman undoubtedly studied for guild
ance-a report on the bill by the Ma
tional Labor Relations board-was dis
torted and strikingly similar to an
analysis by the CLIO.
So, although Mr.. Truman wrote the
blistering condemnation of the bill, the
CLIO put the pen in his hand.
If he will look back, he will find
his presidential fortunes were at their
lowest ebb when he was following the
ClO-PAC line. When he moved over to
the right his favor with the American
people climbed. Now, he has switched
left again and only the Senate can cor
rect the damage in the labor control
bill case.
If he continues to follow the CIO-
FAC, he's going to come upon a former
member of his cabinet-Mr. Wallace
who embarrassed him so much it was
necessary to fire him. Today he is in
league with Mr.. Wallace and others who
seek to impose minority rule upon the
American people.
Mr.. Truman has, in the past, called
for labor peace. But without this act,
the government is powerless to act in
dealing with a national strike emer-
gency.
Such inconsistencies can mean but
n thing.
MIR. Truman's chances of being re-
elected in the fall of 1913 will even
tually become so small that victory will
be handed the Republicans, as it was
in the congressional voting in the fall
of 1916.
