less of the pressure Of big bust
ness. Rural delegates who have no
minority problems are not con-
WINGED as To the seriousness of the
program. or the necessity for FE-
PC. As u result they are easy prey
for those who have approached
them in opposition to the bill.
Some fear il will mean an influx
Of displaced persons. others that
it will affect the economy Of the
state; still others believe that II
will make Minnesota n proving
ground for every type Of social
legislation. None seem to realize
the true political implications.
Senator Robert Taft, present &C.
tive opponent Of StAssen, has al
ready started wooing that all i'm
portant Negro vote in pivotal
states. He has virtually captured
n portion Of the southern national
delegates, u move which will cause
the remaining groups to lean slight
ly in his direction. Dewey has a
functioning FEPC in his state and
may reasonably be expected to fall
heir to Taft's strength II the Ohioan
weakens In the COP. convention.
The FEPC bill is the one indi-
cation Of Minnesota'S future atti-
tude on the national scene. Its
defeat will he the political guidon
in every border state, an argument
that no type Of propaganda can
still.
Meanwhile Governor YounRdahl,
and friends Of the bill. are planning
some type Of strategy TO save Il.
Whether they are successful or not
may mean either the beginning Of
a victory march for Harold Stassen,
or an established doubt that may
be the beginning of the end Of Min.
nesotR's most hopeful presidential
boom.

RAILS STILL FACING
FREIGHT CAR CRISIS

The freight car situation will
continue tight. The "Wall Street
Journal" goes so far as to print an
editorial appealing to the carriers
and to business men to get more
service out of the cars now on the
tracks.
Output of freight cars is only
about so per cent of expectations.
Some say Uncle Sam is sending
too many cars abroad.
U. S. authorities still insist
Canadian roads are holding our
cars. "Off the record" they admit
the calling off of the embargo on
coal shipments to Canada was
brought about by the State Depart
ment and not by any easing of the
situation.
The State Department held that
slapping an embargo on a friend
ly nation was going just little
too far.

CWA Asks Govt
To Block Rodio
EdiforiuIizino

Washington-UPA)- The Fed
eral Communications Commission
was asked by the Communications
Workers Of America-unaffiliated
last week not to relax its rules
against editorializing by radio
broadcas.ers.
CWA President Joseph A. Beirne
told FEC Chairman Charles r
Denny I'VE are in complete sup
port OF the Commissions previous
rulings which have tended to pro-
hlbit naturalization upon matters
OF public interest and controversy
by broadcasting stations. We would
be opposed to any change in policy
which wcGid allow radio broadcast
ing stations to expand their prero-
gatives in this field.
FEC hearings will open here on
Jan. IL on the question of setting
national policy on editorializing.
Said Beirne, "Broadcasting stations
are too closely dependent upon adj
yertlslng revenues to permit fair
and reasonable naturalization up-
on controversial matters involving
enterprises which contribute to the
support of the broadcaster.
ut is inconceivable, for instance.
that radio networks which receive
millions of dollars annually from
the American Telephone & Tele-
graph Co., would adopt editorial
policies critical of this company in
its relations with telephone work
ers, telephone subscribers or with
the nation as whole" Beirne con-
tended. "The chance for the great
bulk of people in America to air
their views is already too slim. To
grant business interests another
outlet for controlling the thinking
of the nation will create a greater
unbalance."
