Canton Win. First PIsy-On Game

In very fast and exciting game
last Saturday night in Canton, a
determined "Bulldog' team
emerged victorious over the boys
from Farrell to the tune of a ~
to SO score. Canton carried a COM
Portable lead through the entire
game; although Farrell, many
times, came very close to work
ing this lead very uncomfortable.
The Bulldogs" registered lao,
24-l4, and 1873 quarter margins
as they repeated regular season
6o-57 win over the invaders, Hell
ME Kotsch and Dan Ongerth top
ped the victory, with II and Is
points respectively while Hank
Heinrich and Mike Lingner paced
the losers with 9 and IL.
Just as an afterthought the boys
from Farrrll wer handicapped by
the absence OF several of their
season standouts, namely Ronnie
Weber, who now is serving in
Uncle Sans Navy, and also John
ny Zelch, who has helped his team
considerably in the closing games
of this season. The outcome OF
this game may, or may not, have
been different if these two boys
had been present to help their
team mates along.
| would personally like to con-
gratulate both teams on their
fine craftsmanship throughout
the game, especially for their
never say die spirit. was also
very much pleased, at the end OF
the game, to see these same boys
who had fought such hard and

picture of the direct contacts made
by the A. f. of l.. with labor
abroad In an organized effort to
stiffen them against the commu-
nistic barrages. Mr.. Baldanzi was
both interesting and eloquent. He
spoke out of his personal expert
ences in Italy following hostilities,
and of the inroads of communism
there.
Mr.. Haddock painted the situa-
tion of our merchant seamen with
vigorous strokes. The only objec-
tion he voiced seemed very reason
able-that $4,000 of our seamen
would be laid off by the transfer
Of 500 ships from our flag to

House hearings will continue

the arduous and difficult task of
marking up the BILL"
Supreme Court Justice Douglas,
in reading the Court decision re-
versing the Cleveland Court in the
case of Woods VS.. Miller Co., in
volving the constitutionality of
rent control, said among other
things that constitutionality does
not depend on the power that Con-
gress mentions in the preamble of
a bill, rather is the power used
judged by legislative history. In
concurring, Justice Frankfurter
said he did so because of existing
precedent.

fed men to study, investigate. and
to find solution for the Saxon
problem. We have confidence that
we have such great men in Con-
gress- who will not overlook little
people because of their minority.
Today whoever is left of the
Saxon people must endure great
hardships. Many of them are fac
ing starvation as displaced per-
sons in the camps OF Austria and
Germany. Others are still some
where in Russia. The most un-
fortunate are those who are being
sent back from Russia into Ger

forbidden to 60 back to their fa-
miles in Transylvania. It is ruth.
less and it is outrageous that such
undeserved misery should be i'm
posed on a people who, although
small in number, have given their
share toward civilization and
humanity.
In closing we would like to
quote one OF our greatest men,
Abraham Lincoln, who said: "To
keep silent when we should pro-
test makes towards of men,"
May the fate and destiny of the
Saxon people of Pennsylvania be
guided toward righteousness and
justice by an act OF the Congress

The Salem team was on the floor
before 7 and seemed anxious to

be as exciting game. It's.too bad
that they were disappointed. .
After the game, the crowd ad-

Never in their history have
they been destitute like they are
at this time, and only so because
OF the. deeds committed atTeheran
and Yalta by an American Presi-
dent. Mr.. Roosevelt favored the
enslavenent and cruel treatment
of the Saxon people because of
their German origin. We do not
believe that Stain would have
taken by force men and women
for slave work in the far steppes
of Russia without the consent
given him by Mr.. Roosevelt.
AS Christian Americans the
members OF this organization be-
lieve in the golden rcle, therefore
we expect our Government offic-
iaIs to be shining example to us
in this respect. If they had lived
up to their, and our, American
principles in foreign policy since
the end of hostilities, the Saxon
people would no doubt have a
heavy burden OF reparations 10
carry but they would not be desti-
tute. We then would have no
cause to bring this grievous situ-
alton to the attention of our Con-
gress.
We appeal for immediate con-
sideration in this serious matter
before it is too late. We believe
that Congress has enough quail

Extension Of Remarks of
Hon. Robert F. Rich :.

OF Pennsylvania
in the House of Representatives
Thursday, Feb. 10, 1913.
Mr.. Rich: Mr.. Speaker, under
leave to extend my remarks in the
Record, | include the following
letter:
The Women's League for Ameri-
canism, Cleveland, O., Feb. 9, '4s.
Hon. Robert F. Rich,
House Office Building,
Washington, d. c.
Dear Sir: This is an appeal in
the name Of humanity to every
loyal Member of Congress, in be-
half OF the tragic situation OF a
vanishing people.
Freedom and liberty in the
Twelfth Century by a Hungarian
King versus Slavery and torture
in the Twentieth Century by an
American President for the Saxon
People of Pennsylvania, Ruman:a.
The Saxon people entered Tran
sylvania on the invitation of King
Geza II more than 800 years ago.
This Hungarian king, who was
searching for a trustworthy peo-
pie to inhabit and protect the land
on the border of Hungary against
enemy invaders, found the Ger
mans from the Rhine and Mosellc
regions had the qualifications to
meet his aims. He offered them
the right to have laws and rules
OF their own making in the ne :,
homeland. Because of this free,
dom offered by King Geza; the
golden charter; and theSaxon bill
of rights, granted to them later
they were able to develop their arr
and culture rapidly. According to
history the Saxon people have
lived up to their duty and respon'
sibilities from generation to gene
ration. They have answered the
calls to protect home and country
to such an extent that they can
rightfully claim the ground on
which they live has been paid with
their own blood. They have been
able to master their difficulties
successfully, even at times when
their very existence was at stake
They have enjoyed the respect OF
| friend and foe, because of thei,
great sense of justice and their
intelligence.

1919, the nations most potent strike-break-
ing force has been the American Legion
Today, the Legion fights labor not so much
on the picket line as in the halls of Congress-
Legion leaders openly advocated both the
Case anti-labor bill and the Taft-Hartley act
Previously they had hacked away at labor's
most important single gain of the past dec
ades-the seniority system-using the GIN
mick of veterans "super-seniority" over all
other workers. The device was conceived by
Paul H. Griffith, national commander in
1947.
The Legions eager hewing to the "NAM
line" is no coincidence. From its inception,
the American Legion has been dominated by
big businessmen with big business interests.
Over the past 80 years, 10 of the 20 men who
served as national commanders were directly
affiliated with large corporations
An analysis of the Legion's top national
standing committees shows a similar
whelming predomnance of men who are by
the very nature of their personal business
and financial connections intimately asso-
ciated with the NAM. The Commission on
postwar Amerca-one of the Legions most
important committees, which was set up dur
ing the war to investigate the problems of
postwar adjustments typical In addition

praised at only it's normal" value.
A special two-day conference was called
between Legion officials and those interested
in amending the CT bill Participating,
recorded in testimony given before the House
Committee on World War Veterans Legis-
lation, were representatives of the American
Bankers Association, the United States Saw
ings and Loan League, the National Savings
and Loan League, the Mortgage Bankers AS
sociation of America, the National Associa-
ton of Home Builders, the National Associa-
ton of Real Estate Boards the Morris Plan
Bank, and others. No representative of any
labor or consumer group was invited.
The Legion lobbyists went to work. They
testified before the congressional committee
in favor of an amendment to the CT bill which
would omit the word normal from the orig
inal phrase, reasonable normal value" The
amendment became law, and for the CT look
ing for a place to live, reasonable value"
turned out to mean whatever the traffic
will bear"
In the field of labor relations the Amer
lean Legion has served as both the mailed
fist and the ''mass voice" of big business.
The history of the Legion's strike-breaking
and vigilante activities is we'll documented in
the annual reports of the American Civil
Liberties Union. The record substantiates

Organized In 1915, Not 1919
These big business leaders did not gain
control of the American Legion by accident.
All early official Legion histories state that
the American Legion was first organized by
Theodore Roosevelt Jr. in 1919, following the
Armistice. Actually, however, the Legion
was first formed in 1915-two full years
before the US entered the First World War.
The Legion's original formation seems to have
been induced by fear of the rising tide of
trade unionism and "radcalism,' fear of the
social reforms of the Wilson administration
fear of the ideas which might gem
crate in the minds of potential veterans.
Confirming this viewpoint is the direct fl
nancial support which the American business
world gave the Legion during the first months
of its official life. Promising an organiza-
ton which would offset radicalism and trade
unionism, the founders of the Legion appor-
toned quotas to businessmen in various cities
and states throughout the nation.

costs of advertising were determined, they would
not reveal the countless propaganda costs generally
