Sofefy Is Placed
Before Airporfs

Washington. - 1t is wiser to
make existing airports safe than
to spend millions on the construc-
tion of new ones. That is the opin-
ion Of the Senate Commerce Com
mittee, which has been investigat-
ing recent air tragedies.
AT the last session of Congress,
$45, 100000 was appropriated for
building and improving airports.
The committee recommends that
this money be used to buy radar,
radio, lighting and fog g-dispersing
apparatus needed to improve the
safety record of American airlines.
The committee said that it ex-
poets it's proposal will stir pro-
tests from states and cities plan
ming new airports, but added:
Existing airports should be
adequately equipped to serve the
safety of the travelling public be-
fore adding to the hazards by
building more airports."
The committee threw bouquets
at airlines with Scheduled opera
tions," asserting they are provid-
ing the safest forms of travel
available"
The blame for accidents was
laid on the doorstep of "non-
scheduled carriers" whose acci-
dent rate was declared to be 20
times as great as that Of the
scheduled lines.

A distinguished group of British
Trade Unionists cabled "This play

president, National Federation of
Building Trade Operatives; E. G.

unionists.
From the coal fields of crisis
torn Britain came cables from both
union and mine officials; from
South Wales, "We have seen this
play and feel it could provide our
industry with the spirit and incen-
tive needed to carry on through
the present crisis" From the Mid
lothian mines of Scotland, "We are
putting MIRA into practice in our
homes and pits with remarkable
results. Despite fewer men pro-
duction increased" And from the
North Staffordshire mines, 1--WE
vouch for the real result it's spirit

Because of the demand for
tickets, three extra performances
had to be arranged, one specially
for the industries in the city. Re-
ceptions were given the cast by the
American and Chinese Ambassa-
dors to Canada and by the Speaker
of the Canadian Senate.
The Allied Trades and Labor
Association passed a unanimous
resolution, "Resolved: That the
Moral Re-Armament presentations
are above race, creed and color and
give the message of peaceful dem
ocratic progress which will fore
stall the kind of social upheaval
which leads to dictatorship"
Typical of the reaction of many
members of the labor movement
was that of Robert Barnett, presi-
dent of the Building Trades Coun-
ell, who said, 81 am convinced that
if all people associated themselves
with the ideas expressed by this
cast, thE old world of ours would

Food Cost Index
Still Al Per Cent
Above Year Ago

Washington, d. C. - Although
the food bill for moderate-income
families in large cities declined
IL per cent between December Is
and January Is, the retail food
price index was still al per cent
higher than a year ago. This fact
is revealed by the Bureau of Labor
Statistics, U. S. Department OF
Labor, which reported that while
the index was two per cent below
the record high of mid-November,
it was 1888 per cent of the 1886
39 average and 26 per cent above
the mid-June level.
There were sharp drops over the
month in retail prices of butter,
eggs, citrus fruits and juices, lard,
cured pork and poultry. At the
same time price advances were
registered for vegetables, meats
except cured pork, cereals and
bakery products, and beverages.
Retail egg prices declined sea-
sonally by nearly 10 per cent from
December Is to January Is. Prices
of dairy products, lower in all Sc
cities measured by BIS, were
down five per cent on the average,
with decreases recorded for butter,
cheese, and milk.
In 40 of the Sc cities surveyed
in midJanuary, retail food prices
were lower than in mid-December.
Declines of more than three per
cent were reforded for Minneap-
oils and Seattle, while advances of
over two per cent were reported
for Fall River and over one per
cent for Houston.

January was the second success
sive month in which activity was
less in residential than in non
residential building, reversing last
summers trends. Of the two types
of construction, however, BIS
pointed out, houses as rule re-
quire less time to build. Conse-
quently, the huge amount of work
begun in the peak season was re-
duced more rapidly in the case of
home construction. Non-residential
building, on the other hand, has
been sustained at a relatively high
level by continued work on large
projects.

said they did not believe the
granting of union security had
made much difference one way OF
the other.
See Security Clauses Continuing
The 1000 employers were also
asked whether they thought union
security would continue in actual
practice in their plants even if
Congress passed law banning all
forms of the closed shop.
On this question the answers
were almost equally divided among
those who said yes, those who said
no and those who admitted they
did not know. Employers who said
union security would continue rep
resented 34.6 per cent of the total,
those who said it would not were
31.5 per cent and those who did
not know 1879 per cent.
The survey covered large and
small companies in all parts of the
country. Employers in the con-
struction, garment and printing
trades, which are almost complete
ly organized, were not included on
the basis that the closed shop was
so well established in such con-
Germs that there was little likeli-
hood of its elimination under any
circumstances.
Union Security Held Vital
The industrial relations director
of one New York company in
formed the institute that he be-
lieved union security was essential
to the maintenance of peaceful
conditions in a unionized plant.
"A union in a plant which is COW
cred by contract which does not
contain a security clause is a
fountainhead of workers suspi-
cion, rumor, strife and generally
unsettled conditions" this execu-
tive wrote. Because it must con-
stantly fight for its life, it tends
to SOW dissension among the
workers with accompanying dis
satisfaction and low morale"

And / can see the hackles of con-

MIR. Truman was removed by

and cannot see congress al

AS the Boards point out in their
"Basic History of the United
States" the Republicans despite
their landslide victory over Wilson
in 1920 did not or could not, stamp
out the spirit of progressive or radi-
cal insurgency, old in American
tradition and yet ever new in its
application to changing condi-
tons"
Harding's "nornalcy" and Cool
idge's conservatism temporarily did
end our internationalism. But their
next choice was Herbert Hoover,
who had been speaking with contin-
ual concern over conditions affect
ing the less privileged. In 1923, for
example, he had called on the in
surance companies to study unem-
ployment insurance; he had en-

Going further back into history,
we note that after three successive
victories, the Republicans, even
when they had majorities in both
houses, did not repeal so-called
reform" measures passed up to
1900. When they returned to
power in 1921 although attempts
were made to do so, such, meas

60 long way toward making
up for lack Of ability.
But it is not mere personal
ambition which drives senator
to work for individual promi-
nence-it is part of his job to
strengthen the sovereignty Of
the sovereign state he repre-
sents.
Another thing which often forces
senator to walk alone or as part
of a small group is sectionalism-
not a hidebound attitude either, but
the demand that he truly represent
the interests Of his community, even
if those interests conflict with those
of other parts of the country. The
ancient anita gonism of West-versus-
East has never quite died. 1t was
only a little over three decades ago
that the 18th amendment was
passed which authorized the popu-
lar election of senators. This was
accomplished largely through the
influence of western and southern
states which had already, by means
of state primaries or other subter-
fuge, managed to take the choice
of senators out Of the hands OF the
state legislatures.
The Republicans benefited by the
failure of the Democrats to main
tain a West-South alliance, but they
now suffer in turn from other Sec
tional and theological cleavages.
heard one man remark the other
day that two recent speeches, one
by Senator Morse, Republican OF
Oregon, and the other by Senator
Byrd, Democrat Of Virginia, each
expressed views much more in line
with the opposite party's than with
their own organizations. There are
many other similar anomalies in the
Both congress, as there were in the
last session.
The belief that the extreme con-
servatives will be in the saddle
ready to ride rough-shod over any
liberal move is not generally sup
ported. True - history has shown
that the American people can stand
Just so much reform at time. But
on the other hand they have seldom
been willing to sacrifice past social
gains. Consequently, when the Re-
publicans have been swept into Of
fee after periods like the Wilson
New Freedom they have been
very chary Of repeating laws which
were passed, in answer to a de-
mand for new privileges for the
many.

Another factor not calculated to
further unity is the flock Of presi-
Dental bees crawling all over the
inside of the capitol dome. In his
December poll, Gallup listed four
senators as possibilities in the fol-
lowing order: Vandenberg, 8 per
cent; Bricker per cent; Taft, 2 per
cent, and Saltonstall, / per cent.
These are small figures compared
to the polls So per cent granted

Minnesota's Ex-Governor Stassen's

the candidates think that way about
it. Nobody is placing bets yet. AS
the veteran Republican National
Committeeman Clarence Budding
ton Kelland said:
81 don't think you are going
to see the matter jen at all
until Ohio decides whether it is
backing Taft or Bricker. When
that decision is made, the line

Gallup predicted that Eisenhow-
er's star would rise higher and thus
whip the hopeful senator's to added
zeal.
Lapel buttons labeled Draft

banner Eisenhower would be draft

Neither Vandenberg nor Salton-

and at this writing neither one has
even indicated publicly he is in the
running.
More distressing to the men who
have to make the upper house men,
bers hew to the Republican line is
the old problem Of the so-called
progressive element. Some people
ARE predicting that there may be
more harmony in the next session
among the minority, so widely
split last time. than among the ma

Republicans are worrying lest they
be divided to the extent that their
power will be considerably reduced.
