"This destruction of labors hardwon rights means
Just this and it is of the primary responsibilities of

Hartley law that the Congress destroy the rights
of group of citizens. If this be done to
group what except the vigilance and effort of the people,
to prevent its doing the thing other groups which
fall under its displeasure?
The federation goes to declare that labor must elect
legislators to Washington who will vote for the laws repeal
but have to do says. every legislator who
voted for this infamous law must be made an example of

These Charges Would Be News
IF They Were Against Labor

When a business man attacks organized labor, daily
newspapers publish his charges news, and it costs him
not penny.
When business makes sensational charges
against other business that is not considered He
has to buy space in the papers, at cost of thousands OF
dollars, to lay his case before the public.
AS example, take the ful-page advertisements put
in Washington newspapers this week by Preston Tucker
president Of the Tucker Corporation Chicago concern
which is preparing to manufacture completely new rear
engine automobile"
The "ads" charge that 'for two years very powerful
group has carried a carefully organized campaign to pre-
vent the motoring public from getting their hands on the
wheel of a Tucker.
"These people have tried to- introduce spies into our
plant They have endeavored to bribe and corrupt loyal
Tucker employees They have their spokesmen IN high
places in Washington"
Tucker says his firm submitted the "high bid for
govenmentoWned steel plant but hasn't been able to buy
it, because of ruthless and barefaced political pressure
Meanwhile "who do you suppose is getting the raw
material (steeD from this plant? None other than some
well unfriendly- automobile manufacturers
The advertisements make other serious charges, OBJ
vousy against fuckers business competitors lie would
not have to pay the papers to tell story like that-t 1t
were against labor unions.

Conference OF Chests and Councils held last month Facts
OF special interest to labor brought out in view of

everywhere.
The increasing share Of support for health and welfare
programs coming from working people in and voun-

TO have labor representatives planning and operating
committees and boards in this field.
The discussion led by Wilbur f. Maxwell director
OF the abor-Empoye Participation Department of Com

Now the juvenile authorities are wondering what to do

OF course they can't be permitted to around steal

but after that they should be given all the education they

possibility. The principal differ
ence is, however, that while in No
vember, 1941, we were asking the
Japanese to refrain from taking
advantage of a war-created situa-
ton, today we are asking the Rus
slams merely to live up to formal
agreements reached at Potsdam, at

Soviet Thesis on Berlin.
The Soviet governments thesis
now is that Berlin is a city in the
Soviet zone of Germany. We con-
tend that it is the capital OF the
four victorious powers until peace
treaty with the former Reich is con-
cluded. We have definite treaty
rights in Berlin. In our dispute
with Japan we had little to go on
except an old treaty which the
Japanese considered obsolete be-
cause of conditions created by the
outbreak of World War II.

ment may use one OF its many
tricks-such as the creation Of a
new German puppet government in
Leipzig, or Communist outbreaks in
Berlin-to compel the Western ma

A story of love affair with In
ternational complications-and no
sign of a happy ending-was un-
folded today by young technical
sergeant, stationed at the Boiling
Air Force Base.
He is Sergt. William V. Phillips,
%, who was informed yesterday by
newsman that his Russian wife,
mother of his 5-month-old son, had
filed suit for divorce. No other noti-
fcatien had come to him.
A routine dispatch from Moscow
related that Antonina S. Phillips,
"a, had moved to obtain divorce.
This was the only word the soldier
had received from her in six weeks.
Then a letter from the girl he met
while stationed with an American
military mission in the Russian cap
ital informed him that divorce was
unthinkable.
Suggested Move Himself.
Sergt. Phillips himself unhappily
had suggested the move. after his
repeated efforts to obtain visas for
his auburn haired wife and the son
he has never seen had proved
futile.
None Of our business" said the
Soviet Foreign Office, after Ambas-
sador Smith had asked that the
small family be allowed to come
to this country.
1--WE tried to help other boys In
your position, but to no avail. I'm
sorry" wrote Mrs. Eleanor Roosevelt
when she was asked to help.
Il wrote my wife some time ago
and told her what I had DONE" said
Sergt. Phillips. Then I asked her
if she wanted a. divorce. She said
she didn't. I can't really under
stand this.
Shipped Back to Moscow.
The Air Force supply clerk, who
met Antonina during the war, said
he requested Moscow duty after hos
tilities were over. He was shippee
back to the Russian capital in July,
1916. Five months lated they were
married in a "30-second" civil cere-
mony.

Court Justice Douglas will not be

from which liberal Democrats can

Hughes Resigned In 1912.
The former Chief Justice, Mr.
Hughes, resigned as an associate
justice to run for President In 1912;
he was defeated by Woodrow Will

he was reappointed to the court

This Changing World
Marshall's Note to Soviet on Berlin
Likened to Hulrs to Tokyo in Nov, 194l

America agree officially to support
these powers which signed the
Brussels alliance last March.
They hope that such a commit
ment by the United States will give
the Russians food for thought and
slow down their expansionist ac-
tions in Europe.
No thinking person can accuse
the Western nations of desiring an
other armed conflict. AL Of them
right now are far less prepared for
a war than at any time in history.
All the Western peoples are hungry
for peace. The maximum they can
do is fight for their own freedom,
If they are attacked. And Western
European military leaders know
that such a fight would be hope
less unless they have the active
support of the United States.
United States Receptive to Pleas.
Washington is receptive to these
pleas for help, but because Of the
political situation in our own coun-
try, in the midst of presidential
election campaign. there is little
desire to discuss the matter pub
licly.
1t. Gen. Albert C. Wedemeyer,
planning chief in the Army Depart
ment, two weeks ago was sent on a
special mission to the Western Eu-
ropean countries and to the Middle
East to study. the military situa-
ton on the spot. He is expected to
return to Washington on July 1S,
when he will make a comprehen-
sive report to his superiors about
the existing defenses of those coun-
tries and the efficacy OF their armed
forces.
We are now providing Greece and
Turkey with the war materials to
organize their defense against pos
sible aggression from the East. But
nothing has been done to provide
for defense along the Rhine, which
Is the natural line of retreat for
some 100000 Americans If the Rus
slams decide to march.
Ordnance specialists in Washing
ton maintain that we must have
partial industrial mobilization to
enable us to honor any promises we
make to provide Western European
countries with military equipment.
At the present time our factories
can provide only for the needs OF
our own limited rearmament pro-
gram.
But Gen. Wedemeyer's report will
clarity the general picture and de-
termine the attitude of Washington
toward the request of the Western
nOWerS.
