THE NAKED And
The DEAD"

Norman Mailer, 25-year old Brook
Ign bred Harvard graduate has out OF
his varied experience as CT in the
South Pacific written an epic first
novel THE NAKED AND THE
DEAD. Mailer served during the war
g in Leyte, Luzon and Japan, as clerk
in regimental intelligence, an aerial
Photographic expert. wireman, a
rifleman, and finally as a cook and
baker.
1.-THE Naked and the Dead is at
once soul soaring study of battle
for an island in the South Pacific
probably a merging Of the Leyte and
New Britain campaigns) as seen
through the eyes of a single platoon,
and an impassioned insight into Amer
ica and its men. The book is written
in a style that can only be described
as phonographically realistic in its
capture of the raw everyday speech
of men in war, and the trenchant lyri-
cal prose that effectively dummies
the characters background
There are poignant episodes that
bAlO 1tdutl NciIl ll6fCl IOjStL. OHG Vi
the best is the study of a soldier dur
ing battles who continues to receive
letters from his dead wife-written
before she died in childbirth-but de-
livered after he had been notified of
her death.
1.-The Naked and the Dead, although
tremendous in scope, meyer lets the
reader down. AS one critic has stated,
this: long magnificently sustained
narrative moves to a tragic pitiful
climax which is certainly one of the
most completely realized ironies in
our fiction.
The author is at present travelling
on the continent with his wife, an ex-1
Wave. He is expected to return in
August of this year.

WHO'S GUILTY ON TAFT
HARTLEY SC0RE7

The Taft-Hartley act was drafted
by Republican lawyers of the NAN
and U. s. Chamber of Commerce. 22'
of the 245 Republican Representatives
voted for it and As of the 81 Republi
can senators.
But what about the Democrats
Only 1870 of the House Democrats
CID voted to sustain Truman's veto
and only % of the A Democratic Sen
ators present
How about Truman himself? Some
times he poses as friend of labor but
history shows it's just an act In De-
cember, as, he asked Congress for an
anti-strike law. In May, '46, he seized
the railroads, broke the strike and
asked Congress for power to draft
strikers into the amry-
He vetoed the Taft Hartley BILL
BUT-why didn't his own party sup
port the veto? Because, as former
cabinet member Harold Ickes wrote:
1.-The evidence is clear that Truman
wanted to have chance to veto the
Taft-Hartley bill, but he also wanted
the law passed over his veto"
Proof? Not only did Democratic
leaders in the Senate refuse really to
fight to sustain the veto, but they
actually undercut the fight of those
few who sincerely wanted Taft-Hart-
ley defeated. While Sen. Glen Taylor
and q handful of others battled for
time, Sen. Downey o., Calif.) told
the CtO the Democratic National COM
nnittee had Informed him it wasn't
necessary to speak against the bill be-
cause they had no intention of carry
ING on the debate.
With every vote desperately needed. |
Truman told Senator Thomas of Utah |
there was no need for him to return !
from Switzerland to vote against the
bill Senator Wagner i'll in n. Y. but /
willing to return to the Capitol, was
never told he was needed.
And once the Taft-Hartley bill be-
came law:
Truman appointed Robert Denham,
notorious for his anti-iabor, anti-Negro
pre- JUDGES, as chief enforcement Off
Ger TOR the ACT. AS everyone e<-
pected, Denham has taken full advan-
tage of every detail of the law to ham,
string and cripple unions.
Truman has made the maximum use
of the Taft-Hartley anti-labor injunc-
ton, jumping into every possible sit
nation to use it to the benefit of the
and against the workers

The people's voice. [volume] (Helena, Mont.) 1939-1969, 1948-07-02

The greatest champion free enterprise has
in America is the Coop owner.
If there is one thing above all others that
represents free enterprise to him, it is his Coop
erative.
1t may be his local Coop creamery, or i've
stock shipping association, or Coop store or oil
station, or grain elevator. Whatever it is, he
knows what it took to build it. 1t took courage
and vision and enterprise. That is what still
makes free enterprise.
Is free enterprise a syndicate or the mer-
chant or main street?
Is it huge corporation or Cooperative?
Free enterprise is something for all the peo-
pie to enjoy It cannot be privilege for the few.

FORT RICHARDSON

FORT RICHARDSON - Fed eral funds have been received amounting to $45,000 for the ac- quisition of warehouse and storage buildings and rifle ranges for the two proposed Scout Battalions of the Alaska National Guard, it has been announced by Headquarters, U. s. Army, Alaska.
 The two Scout Battalions have already been approved by the NR- tional Guard Bureau of the De- partment of the Army, but the plan to add tw oinfantry battalions in the more populous areas awaits word from Washington. Enabling legislation for both types of units also will be required of the Terri torial Legislature in January.
 The Federal money probably will be used to construct buildings at such places as Bethel, Unala- kleet, Kotzebue and Nome. In some of the smaller communities buildings are already available, but will need rehabilitation. The money available will not provide all needed facilities, and such Ter ritorial funds as may be made available will be needed to fill the gap.
 Definite steps are already under way to insure that the Scout Bat talions will be adequately equip ped. Their full complement will be issued rifles, ammunition, cart ridge belts, first-aid pouches, mess gear, trousers, shirts, over white parkas, caps, gloves and belts by the Army immediately upon activation, with other neces-

MARBURG, Germany, CP) - Mrs. Wilma Ybarbo of Halden, Mass. yesterday was sen enced to 20 years in prison for killing her American soldier husband in bedroom quarrel.
 The U. s. military government court of three American judges convicted Mrs. Ybarba of killing Sgt. John Ybarbo of Goliad, Tex, with malice aforethought."
 The 23-year-old defendant hard ly changed the expression on her pale face as she heard the verdict.
 The court rejected her plea that she shot her husband in self de- fense. The judges also rejected the possibility she was so overcome with passion that she was beyond self control when she pumped three pistol bullets into her hus- band after a quarrel.

Cold Causes 6-Hour Delay
In Chicago-BuffaIo Trains
BY the Associated Press

CHICAGO, Jan. 31.-The New
York Central Railroad announced
many of it's trains operating be-
tween Chicago and Buffalo were
four to six hours behind schedule
today because of sub-zero tempera-
lures.
officials of the railroad said the
cold had reduced the power OF
many locomotives by preventing
maintenance of steam pressure.
The delays were expected to con-
tinue until Sunday night. Slowness
of arrivals will result in delaying
departures since there is insufficient
standby equipment with which to
make up trains before incoming
equipment becomes available at
terminals.
The Pennsylvania Railroad re-
ported arrivals at Chicago were two
to four hours late today because of
sub-zero weather difficulties.
The Baltimore & Ohio Railroad
operating on a more southerly route
than the other roads, reported
trains 10 to Is minutes late.
Rail men said that he cold wealth
Ell had made necessary unusual cur
tailment of tonnages in freight
trains hauled by steam locomotives

ira locomotives.
