BUT THIS is CERT AIN

Not being psychic, we can't tell you
whether Dewey, Taft, Stassen, Warren or
some "dark horse" will be given the UOr
lob of trying to sell the public on the ldea
that he should have a four-year "lease" on
the White House.
Neither can we tell you whether Iru'
man or someone else will be in their pitch
ing from the back of the Democrat donkey
However, there's one thing political we
know for sure, and it's this:
Unionists are going to have to do lot
of hard work If the anti.labor complexion
of Congress is changed in November.
Crousing and gripping won't do the job
Neither will sitting around and thinking
nasty thoughts about those who klileo
oPA and enacted the Taft-Hartley Act
Only an effective political campaign
could turn the trick and when you're IN
the CIO and talk about politics you talk
about PAC.
That's the organization through which
YOU can make your efforts count.
PAC is picking up steam for the cam
paign just ahead It's becoming well organ
lied In the places where organization
really means something-where the voters
live and cast ballots.
You can make two valuable cOntribu-
tions to the PAC campaign-your time
and your money.
How about giving buck or two now!
And how about becoming a block or
precinct worker If you haven't already
done so?
Say, what in the world happened to
that campaign to halt disastrous Initiation
and nut an effective anchor on the sky
rocketing COS living?
You kno ,at we're talking about
that drive to stop the NAM and then put
the skids under OPA.
We seem to recall that President Tru-
man came out with 1O-point anti-infla'
ton program which we partially ap-
proved.
Our recollection is that the COP lead
ership in Congress said nothing doing
to the Man from Missouri, passed minia-
ture anti-something- -Or-other program OF
its own and then declared:
"The President now has enough power
to control initiation. If it isn't controlled
it's his fault"
1t was like telling guy to bail out the
ocean with leaky bucket
We remember the stock market "crash"
of few months ago, which, the experts
said, marked the beginning of down
ward price trend.
We recall what couple of big indus
tries said about bringing down the cost
of living when they went through some
price.cutting motions few weeks ago.
Pardon us IL we're bit cynical about
the whole thing. We just got through buy
ing a weeks supply of nOn-deflated
groceries.
We think the height of stupidity was
achieved last week when several thousand
persons-who asserted they favored defeat
of the Mundt-N Nixon Bill - picketed the
White House.
II is obvious that all - or most - oi
those who joined in this demonstration
are pro-Wallace and therefore opposed ia
President Truman. But oppose Truman or
not, there is one principle on which he has
held firm. That principle is civil liberties
which, as the CIO has stated, would be
seriously imperiled by passage of the
Mundt.Nixon Bill. And he has indicated he
will veto the bill il it is passed
You can't defeat VICIOUS legislation by
stupidity. The White House picketing was
disgustingly stupid.

A Short Story Complete in This Issue
By HAROLD CLAIMING WIRE

- Hill had known was bound to
happen some time. A gas station
like this, isolated on the highway
out of town, was a tempting haul
for stick-up men. They would case
it first. They would see it did a
good nighttime business. Around II
o'clock they would know that the
money was all in the drawer and
he would be ready to lock up. Then,
one of these nights, he would find
himself looking at a gun.
Steve had often thought about it
and had already figured out exactly
what he would do. He would do
nothing. What was the sense in a
fellow risking his neck over a couple
of hundred dollars? The company
that owned this chain of stations
could stand it. Decker, the district
manager, wouldn't blame him. He
was paid to pump gas, not to take
chances with his life. There was
too much life ahead. And there was
Margaret. Thinking about her was
what had decided him, mostly. 1t
wouldn't be long -. when he got a
little more money some way they'd
be married. He wasn't going to let
any fool move break into that.
60 HE didn't move now, standing
with his hands lifted back
against the real wall of the little
glassed room where the men had
ordered him.
1t had happened about as he had
imagined, except for the details.
They were smooth. He was in here
getting ready to change his clothes
and lock up when their brown coupe
drove in to the pumps. He had taken
his knife, three nickles and a penny
out of his pockets and laid them on a
table, and had to button his jump
ers again before going out. By that
time one man had left the car and
had started toward the rest rooms.
The other was out in front looking
at a tire. Then, instantly, their two
guns had covered him from different
angles as he reached for the gas
hose.
That had been only a moment ago.
They worked fast. "Insidei" one
had snapped. His prompt "Okay"
had brought a grin from this one
who did the talking. That's right,
brother, be accommodating and you
won't get hurt!"
They were as alike as twins, both
slim, dark-skinned, wearing black
o~vercoats. In a fist-fight, Steve
knew, he could handle them both
put together. He was big and husky
himself. But this wasn't a fist-fight
There was a gun on a shelf in the
stock-room just behind him. Yet he
saw no chance of making a dive fol
it, even if he wanted to.
ONE MAN now stood in the station
doorway keeping him covered
and watching the road, while the
other quickly scooped the silver ane
paper money from the cash registe
drawer. With the drawer emptiet
he stepped back, saw the tire
nickles and a penny on the tabl
and reached for them.
Suddenly, Steve said, "You leav
that alone!" He lowered his hand
a little.
Keep 'em up!" the man in tn
doorway snapped.
AS he raised his hands up hig

asked. Are they SlugS! He picked
up the three nickles and penny.
They jingled. Sound all right to
me-" he said, and started to put them.
in his pocket.
Nothing else could have made
Steve Hill take the desperate
chance. The man getting the cash
had laid his gun down. The one in
the doorway kept him covered. But
as a wave of light from an approach
ing car swept up the road, the door
way guard gave it a quick look. The
car went past; in that fraction of a
second his eyes were not watching
Steve Hill.
CTEVE had only to curve his fling
- ers and they were around the
smooth object above his head -.
around it, jerking it and giving it a
throw all in the same move. The
glass globe shattered against the
door easement. Red fluid showered
over the man standing there. Steve
heard a yell of pain even as he
whirled inside the dark stockroom,
grabbed the gun from its shelf and
bolted on out through a rear door.
Outside, he ran back toward the
front. One man was trying to rush
the other, blinded by the fire ex-
tinguisher's carbon tetrachloride,
past the pumps. Steve fired once,
deliberately missing them. you'll
get the next!" he said, "Put your
hands up!"
He had a few minutes to wait after
he had bound them both with a tow
rope and had put in a telephone call
to town. A strange, and guilty,
sense of pride filled him. He hadn't
meant to do it, but now that it was
done he knew that all a fellow had
to do was use his head at times
like this. If it happened again, he
would.
Then he saw a car coming. It
swerved in and stopped and George
Decker, his district manager, slid
out. He took one look at the two
his smarting eyes. He saw the shat
tered fire extinguisher.
WNICE WORK! He gave Steve's
- shoulder a fatherly pat.
YOU'RE all right, my boy. I'll see
that you get something for this" He
knew about the girl and smiled a
little, adding, It'll be enough for a
married man."
IF you near -. you think. -
Steve faltered. He felt guilty. He
ought to confess he hadn't done it
for the company, not this time.
Il mean a raise, of course" Decker
told him. "Now let's get these men
into town."
"Okay," Steve said. "And thanks
a lot" After all, he guessed there
were some things you couldn't talk
about, and make anyone else un-
derstand. He'd feel pretty sheepish
trying to tell George Decker the
truth, that what he had done tonight
was all because of a penny. 1t hac

PHILADELPHIA - T h
City of Brotherly Love is the
center of interest for the
whole world this weekend,
as some 5000 delegates from
every part of the U n Re d
States and its territories ar
rive to build new political
party dedicated to p ace,
progress, and prosperity.
By automobile, bus, and train,
delegates have been streaming
into Philadelphia this week. A
large part of the 200-person Illi-

They come from all 48 states and

Rexford Guy Tugwell, heard tes-
timony from scores of witnesses
who had suggestions to make

afternoon Friday, the Natl. Labor
