Washington, Dec. 6-(AP)-f
you were lucky enough to be
around when the words were
spoken, and had a recording ma
chine handy, what voices of his
tory would you want to put on
wax for the future?
There was no radio around to

But Columbia Records has just

what the radio picked up in the
13 years from 1882 to 1945. The
five records take As minutes to
play.
The first one begins with a
voice saying "These are h
sounds of days that are past j.. ="
The last record ends with the
same voice saying g.. or do
we walk Through midnight to-
ward the dawn without knowing
it?"
The voice is that of Edward

time to time to pull the pieces
together.
But all the other voices are
those of the men who helped
make history between the depths
of the great depression and the
end of World War II, or had
something to say about it.
The first voice after Murrow's
is Will Rogers, trying in 1882 to
cheer America a bit with eve

only nation in the history of the
world that went to the poorhouse

Pegler Says New York Union Ready To Elect
Two Leaders Not Very Long Out OF Sing Sing

Walsh is a thug with fine sense
of discretion. He declined the
issue on an occasion remember
ed in the craft when he found
himself in a closed room with
Ivan Annenberg, the son of the
late Max. Annenberg, historic
rough guy of the classical but
exaggerated circulation wars in
Chicago. The lore of those wars
is larded with many routine
eviscreations incidental to the
normal social life of wild time
in frontier city. Nevertheless,
the late Max was a fighter and
Ivan. who succeeded him as cir
culation manager of the New
York News, honors his reputat-
ion. Thus, on the occasion re-
ferred to, Ivan closed the door
and said to William Buddy
Walsh: All right, you dirty (cen-
sored), let's you and me fight
and see who walks out of the
room" This got noised among
the wagoneers but it is a strange
fact that men in robust occupa-
tions, longshoremen, for example
intimidate easily. The Brooklyn
waterfront was terrorized for
years by scrawny consumptive
rummy named Wild Bill Lovett
and similar bulldozings are COM
mon in mining centers.
In the spring of 1943, Walsh
and Walter shook down William
Armstrong, the owner of a rae
ing scratch sheet for $4,000 by
threatening to dump his printing

Nisbet Finds Truman Cockv
At First Full Press Conference

porters filing out were over
heard talking about the trouble
ahead for congressman and
others not disposed talking about
the Truman program, Some
thought he cannot get his entire
program adopted, One fellow re-
minded them they didn't think
he could be elected, either.
Whatever may happen in the fu-
ture, there's no doubt Harry
Truman was president for
awhile Thursday afternoon.
PLEASED-Another man who
displayed genuine pleasure over
outcome of the election was Joe
Blythe, treasurer of the national
Democratic committee. T
Charlotte business man and state
senator took over the treasurer's
job before the Philadelphia con-
vention by appointment of the
chairman, and later was elected
by the full committee for a four
year term. Pickings were lean
around convention time, and the
treasurer had numerous difficult
ties in keeping party machinery
creased. Actually the 1946 De-
mocratic campaign was run on
less money than any recent pre-
decessor. but the money was so
well spent it produced pheno-
menal results.
DEFICIT-Democrats ended
the campaign with a deficit, and
Blythe admits it would have been
terrible if they had lost. The
job as treasurer would have been
a real headache. People don't
mind helping a winner, and
while, the deficit lacks a lot OF
being wiped out it is much less
than it was one month ago. BLY,
the expressed opinion the COM
mittee can operate and get ready
for the next campaign without
too great hardhsips.
GIFTS-The teasurer's post
doesn't pay any salary, but Bly,
the feels he has been amply
compensated by the friends he
has made and the cooperative
affection shown him. Among
tangible expressions of this af-
fection are a diamondstudden
wrist watch and a combination
brief case set.

WASHINGTON--Your reporter
spent Thursday in the national
capitol and attended a White
House press conference. Since
this was the first regular con-
ference held by President Tru-
man since the November cleo

regulars and several dozen visi-

first time.
COCKY-Oldtimers said they
had never seen President Tru-
man in such rare form, and
seldom had even the inimitable
Franklin Roosevelt shown more
cockiness at a press conference.
The pesident took several witty
digs at columniSts, but ignored
the pollsters. Asked about a
statement attributed to Bradley
Dewey, a governmental employee
about a commission report be-
ing deliberately held up, the pre-
sident quipped: "Mr. Dewey
was mistaken, a condidtion that
seems to 60 with the name"
To various questions about the
cabinet he said there would be
no immediate changes. and ques-
tions about tax and budget mat
ters got the same answer: THAT
will be covered in messages to
Congress" His extreme cock
sureness was exhibited in the
statement he would get the kind
of budget he wanted, and that he
did not want the Dixiecrat cleo
toral votes,
NOT MAD-He declared he
wasn't mad at anybody, and he
proved to be in good humor with
the columists present whose ques-
tions he slapped down with zest.
Despite the attitude of good hui
NOR, however, it was evident the
president wouldn't have hesitat-
ed to take on the whole bench
for fist fight if they had press
ed him little bit. None of the
reporters wanted to fight a guy
like that; they seemed to realize
it wouldn't be a safe thing to
start. After the conference re-

were trapped.

Recent Supreme Court Decisions On
Restraint OF Trade Worry Business

Recent Supreme Court decisions about such ques-
tons as restraint of trade delivered price systems
basing points and quantity discounts have concerned
many business leaders in the country.
Financial writers point out that he original
meaning of the Clayton Act and Federal Trade Com
mission Act has been stretched to the point where
methods previously used without difficulty are now
considered illegal and that in connection with anti
trust laws most of the major industries are mono
pozng and in restraint of trade In fact the experts
believe that it is practically impossible even for some
innocent companies to avoid conviction.
Harold Fleming writing in The Christian Science
Monitor points out that business men do not yet real
ize how far the law has been judcialy revolution

Congress is interpreted and applied by the Courts.
If the judges literally interpret the statute in favor
of either side, the law is no doubt, revoutonlzed
