 That, however, made no differ ence to the members of the club. Someday, perhaps, they might be up for confirmation, too
 On the other hand, when the chiei of police of Beaver Dam, Ohio, Frank A. Barber, testified that Con- greSsman Jones was a member of the Black Legion, Senator Capehart of Indiana proceeded to berate Barber because he had arrested 80 motorists on the 4th of July week end Instead of asking questions about Jones membership in the Black Legion, the Senator tried to make it appear that police chief Bal Der was committing crime by d scourag!ng speedsters on week end when the radio was warning the nation there would be more uatfic accidents than ever before in history.

had just been exposed for speculat- ing in the cotton marketl, the OH promptly was pigeonholed and ney- CT has seen the light of day since, Congress was Cnly tCo glad to de- mand that labor unions open their financial records to the public, but not members of Congress.
 Therefore, I suppose it's only to be expected that Senators would rush frantieally to the defense of their colleague, Congressman Robert F. Jones of Ohio and want to ram through his confirmation to the Federal Communications Commis- sion with scarcely five scanty hours of superficial hearings.
 In contrast, Senate Republicans led by Ferguson of Michigan have held up the appointment of a new Solicitor General, Phil Perlman, foI SIX long months. The Solicitor Gen. eral has the important duty ot ar guing cases before the Supreme Court. But all winter and spring the Justice Department has llmpec along without Solicitor Genera while Senator Ferguson first wait ed fcur months before even holding hearings, and then subpoenaed al Perlrnan's income tax returns anC the records of the firms Tor whicf he practiced law.
 Meanwhile, not one gesture ha' been made to request the income tax returns of Congressman Jones or look at his list of law clients CT in any real way to scrutinlzt his record.
 The difference is that Congress man Jones is a member of the club Mir Perlman isn't.

In the American Way
(New York Times)


 The thunder from the Labor front which filled the air before the Taft Hartley Act became the law ol the land seems be abating It is no longer described in flaring newspaper advertisements as the Slave Labor Bill" it IS denounced in no uproarious meet ings The vast majority of union members continue quietly at work under it. Two serious strikes may still be called in the coal fields and one in the nation shpyards but neither is threatened as direct chal- enge to the operation of the new law The two most powerful labor leaders the country have both re- eced the double-edged weapon of the general strike Labor is still determined to fight the measure and Ii possible force it's repeal Present prospects however are that the long battle will be waged only Ill the Ura- ditional American way, through the courts ana the ballot box.
 i>, France and Italy we see the political strike used in it's most omnous form In France rhythmic series of strikes been called to wreck the govern ment chosen by majority of the peoples representa- tives voting in the National Assembly In Italy strikes are being widely applied for similar purpose Labor unrest is expected to spread there as the Communists seek to bring down Premier de Gasperis new non Communist government. Even in England strikes have forced the Labor government to bow to umon demands.
 Here in the United States have also suffered from paralyzing strikes which political motive was suspected But no responsible labor leader has ever admitted such purpose. If such pressure could De successfully brought to bear to oyerrue an act ol Congress it might have been expected to be applied after the passage of the TaftHartley Act It shows no sign of developing Both MT Green for the AFL and MT Murray for the CIO have wisely and patriot- calv decided that Labor must not take this dangerous path They know it would throw the nation into turmoil the results of which none could foreteH
 This does not that they have given up thelr fight The CIO program specifically outlines the form if will take The three great Labor bodies, ln- cluding the railway unions, will work out JolhV aV tack Every member of Congress who voted for the act will be opposed at the polls Every effort py any employer to undermine collective bargaining Will De resisted The constuonay of the law will be tested in the courts, provision by provision This IS line of battle the public will endorse well within the rights of American citizenship Indeed, the opera tion of so complex law could not be worked out without some such exhaustive test But the procedure lies fully within the American tradition.
 We have the Presidents promise to use every means within his power to make the law work We have the undertaking of the Labor leaders to sanction no general uprising against it. We have the assurance of Congress that provisions proved unduly budensome may be revised Even the darkest spot in the picture wakout of the coal miners now shows encouraging gleams of light. We believe the American way will prevail.

LABOR'S BIG OPPORTUNITY

Labors angry response to the adoption of the Taft-Hartley law over the Presidents veto to be expected Having worked itself into frenzy against the measure it could hardly fail express resentment after the decision had made. If from the minute when the public made clear determination to have the rights of labor and management brought more closely into balance labor had elected to cooperate some of the things it finds most objectionable might not have been written into the law Labor did not choose to cooperate and that's that The action of bitumnous coal miners laying down their tools has dramatized labor's resentment, although it is doubtful whether the miners would have taken that step if their normal vacation period had been more than few days away In other fields, labor spokes men link existing pending strikes with the new law although the connection ij not clear.
 It is not this first reaction however which will give to most Americans their deepest concern. The longer range policy of labor is of much interest to the public Union leadership has an opportunity to display of the statesmanship the past lack of which was major factor in bringing this legislation into existence Such statesmanship would call for giving the law fair trial If it contains flaws-and few of it's most ardent advocates would contend that it is perfect-the public which demanded fair play for both employers and employees, will insist on their correction But persistence a of resistance or sabotage will merely serve to convince the general public that the law did not go far enough. In any conflict with the public any minority, matter how well organized CT how vociferous must lose Labor has
 big opportunity to demonstrate that it wants nothing more than fair play. If it misses that opportunity it will be inviting further public disapproval.

SALMON TAGGING
 WILL BE RESUMED
 BY DR. THOMPSON

Dr. William F. Thompson, Direct or of the Fisheries Institute at the University of Washington in Seattle. is enroute to the Territory to conduct a pink salmon tagging experiment in Southeast Alaska, ac- cording to an announcement today from the Regional Office of the U. S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The experiment will begin during the current season following a lapse of such work for a long period of time.
 Previous experiments were begun by the U. s. Bureau of Flsherles and the Fish and Wildlife Service but were discontinued because of lack of funds which hampered the work and broke the continuity o1 the study. The break destroyed the value of the experiments. It IS be- lieved that there are now sufficient funds available to complete the experiment which is expected to bring out much important biologi- cal data.
 The experiment will be conduct cd by minimum of six fish traps which will determine the paths of pink salmon migration.
 A fifty cent reward will be paid to persons turning tags over to fish tuyers and canneries. The buyers and canneries will then for ward the tags to the Fish and Wildlife Service where the results will be tabulated and compiled.

ELEVEN GRANTED US. CITIZENSHIP

 Former subjects of Norway were Amund Brue and Karl Oslvik.
 Former subjects of Great Britain were Harold Axel Stolpe and Clara Adele Nordgren.
 Birger David Emmanuel Jacobsen, a former subject of Sweden, also received American citizenship.

NO BLACK ANGELS

Naturally members of the Black Legion are not angels, and these witnesses had some unsavory spots in their pasts. Probably they wouldn't have been Black Legion naires if they hadn't. In fact, the Black Legion had a record for crime race discrimination and re- ligion- batting which surpassed the Ku Klux Klan If it had been oth- erwise. nobody would have cared whether Congressman Jones was a member or not.
 But the Senatorial members of the club who investigated the mat ter seemed interested only in in- vestigating the past llves of the witnesses, not the past life of the man whom they were supposed to look into before they confirmed him for high office. Judging from the OSs-eXamination, it almost looked as though the witnesses were up for Senate confirmation, rather than Congressman Jones.
 Of course, this incident in itself is not so important But when you line 1t up with the other cases in which Congressmen vote to protect their colleagues, or vote the pocket book interest rather than the public interest, then it brings a weakening of public confidence ill representa- tive government. Undoubtedly this is one reason why the Gallup poll shows diminishing confidence in Congress.
 Now that you're getting to be an old married lady you may not re- me mber it, but it was the shoddy behavior of the German Reichstag

which helped to bring on Hitler. And it was the weakening of the Italian Parliament which paved the way for Mussolini. And it has been the self-intereSt of members of the French Chamber of Deputies that his given such a boost to Con- munism in France.
 So at this time when we are try ing to make our domestic system an example which will prevent Com munism abroad, I would like to see our Congress forget the club spirit for a little while and adopt the most rigid standards possible for it's own members. For, in all my years in Washington I have always cham pioned Congress and considered it the most important cornerstone of our 3-cCrnered democratic system Please excuse this lecture, and don't worry too much about Colonel Mccormick.

The Port of Seattle has recognized 'what long has been needed for better relations between Seattle and Alaska-the necessity of positive program to give Alaskans the kind of service they want The port has announced a campaign which will seek to improve cargo handling and shipping methods and cut costs to Alaska shippers
