more dust bowl refugees tramping

There are some things that most
Americans take for granted in 194S
We take for granted the Importance
OF conservation of our natural re-
sources.
We have learned that unbridled
greed on the part of Big Business has
resulted in wasting and eroding our
land. Drouths, floods, ghost cities,
bad lands mark the trail of the ex-
ploitation of Americas great wealth
by INSCRIPTIONS, profit-seeking com
panies.

forests, rivers and mineral lands to
save them for coming generations.

lobby was successful in getting
through one house of congress a bill

short step from state ownership to
private exploitation. The lobby will
undoubtedly try again in the next
congress.

record as lawyer for inter
national cart tells and ardent
friend of Franco Spain.
There has been no sudden
change in the American policy,
despite President Truman's post
election statement that 'the Ne
gev should not be taken from
Israel without full consent of the
Jews" Immediately following
this statement came Bunche's
comment that Israel's withdraw
al of some of it's troops from the
Negev desert indicated willing
ness to comply with a settle
ment along the lines of Berna-
dotte's recommendations.
Two weeks ago in New York,
former commander in chief of
the Haganah, DR.. Moshe Sneh,
labeled the present war in Pa
lestine "a conflict between Is
rael and the imperialist forces
of Great Britain and the United
States"
In his address at an Israel
independence dinner, the leader
of the United Workers Party
declared, ''The Bernadotte Plan
is not concerned with the fate
Of thessArabs in Palestine. 1t is
a clear blueprint for the estab-
lishment of British military and
economic bases in the Negev
and north of Palestine, using
Abdullah of Trans-JOrdan as
stOOge for its plan"
Fred Ptashne, chairman of the
Progressive Party's Chicag
Council on Jewish Affairs, be-
lieves Jewish leadership in
America has failed to follow the
militant lead taken by the Is
raeli, refusing to fully mobilize
the Jewish community in the
fight for full acceptance of the
UN partition plan"
Ptashne told The Standard
that the only way "Jews in
America can fully back up the
new state of Israel is by holding
Truman to his election promises.

used as a tool by British and
American oil-imperialist in
terests bent on junking the
United Nations Partition plan?
The query was made as in
formed observers found in DR..
Bunche's request that Israeli
troops withdraw from the Negev
ar extension of earlier U.s.
British demands that the new
state of Israel swallow the Ber-
nadotte plan.
These charges were echoed
when a Russian delegate rose in
the U.N. to level the specific
accusation that the us. and
Britain are using pressure to
alter the partition plan as set
up by the UN General Assembly.
Russian delegate SemyOnk
Tsarpkin told the UN political
committee that both countries
are trying to bring Palestine
within the sphere of the Anglo
American military bloc and their
oil mOnOpolies.
These same profit-hungry in
terests invented the Bernadotte
plan, which would give the Ne
gev to the Arabs and western
Galilee to the Israelis instead of
the Arabs. The appointment of

The lengthy convention re-
port presented by Murray in
Portland included a survey of
the economic situation in the
U. S., citing figures to prove
that since 1945 workers wages
have slipped in comparison to
rising prices.
One key to the economic prob
lem he found in profit figures.
In 1945, corporate profits after
taxes amounted to 1870 of the
national income, Murray said.
Profits then rose rapidly until
in the first half of 1948 corporate
profits were taking 9.r% of the
national income.

It's easy. You spend a

The Standard is doing
what it can to see that the

The convention aim, out
lined in statements made
earlier by top-ranking CLIO
officials, was to unity all CLIO
forces to press for fulfillment of
election pledges made by Presi-
dent Truman and other Demo-
cratic candidates.
But the tone set during the
first hours of convention activi-
ty tended to push this objective
into the discard.
Murray's public demand that
elected officials of three CLIO in
ternational Unions resign their
positions left open the POSSIBLE
ty that a right-wing block with
in the CLIO was going to ask for
power to interfere directly in
the autonomy of CLIO unions,
their members and leaders.
Shortly after Murray's report
was given to the convention.
President Donald Henderson of
the Food Tobacco and Agricul-
tural Workers submitted mi
nority report, signers of which
included himself, Irving Potash
of the Fur Workers, and Joseph
Johnson of the Marine Cooks
and Shipbuilders Union.
The minority report asserted
that U. S. foreign policy is fos-
tering a world rearmament race
and hampering peace efforts.

There always seems to be one
more branch of show business pop
ping up to blame its woes on the
movies. Vaudeville died when the
movies got talkative and the legit-
innate theater got sick. There
aren't any actresses coming along
because young girls go to Hollywood
to get rich instead Of playing in
stock to get talent. There aren't
any solid new comedians being de-
veloped because young comics go to
Hollywood to grow wealthy in movies
or radio instead of playing in bur-
lesque to grow funny.
Now, if you ask a dance promoter
what creates his biggest problem
he is most likely to growl that it
is Hollywood Today it is she
doing the growing, she being Kay
Ford of Name Bands, Inc, which
started out last fall with plans for
monthly dances at the District Ma
tional Guard Armory. Not much
has been heard from Name Bands,
Inc. in recent months, however. The
reason, Mrs. Ford says, is that it
takes name bands to attract the
dancers and non-dancing listeners
and name bands just haven't been
available.
1t seems that the boys get out to
that louisiana on the West Coast
and very quickly learn to like it.
They put their neckties in mothbalS,

soaking up sunshine and the easy
life of the tropics and refuse to
leave.
In view of all this, it is with some
elation that Name Bands, Inc. has
announced that Tommy Dorsey has
been lured away from Hollywood.

I There Is newspaper columnist
here in town who deserves your
sympathy if you have any to spare
for people of that ilk. Frustrated,
that's what he is, or recently was.
7 Seems he was at some social
function not long back when the
talk as it occasionally does in Wash
ington, got around to politics. Gen
Douglas Macarthur was mentioned
as "dark-horSe" candidate for the
presidential nomination.
"Hah," Mrs. All Heiberg, the for
mer Mrs. Douglas Macarthur, is
reported to have said. Dark horse
with neon lights!"
That delighted the columnist and
he made a mental note to spread
the yarn widely among his constit-
uents. He thought it was such a good
story. In fact, that he would save it
for Sunday. That was his mistake.
