Pegler Says Taft-Hartley Law Is Too Long, Doesn't
Cover Enough Has Much Language In Its Papers

The fact that Adolf Hitler's
approach to the German people
was very similar is no special
belittlement of Mr.. Truman, or
Hitler. Der Fuehrer was not the
first to arouse peoples self
pity, and the resemblance be-
tween his shrieks against the
Versailles diktat and Humans
abuse of Taft Hartley was pure
ly coincidental. To his denuncia-
ton of the 75-cent lamb chop,
Dewey's obvious answer was
that bricklayer who gets $3.50
an hour four days a week and
S. an hour on Saturday for lay
ing a gang average of 224 day.
when he could lay thousand
without pushing, ought to pay at
least $3.50 for his lamb chop.
Through the power Of his union
he is retarding production Of
homes and driving up the rents
to heights which make it neces-
sary to fitch money from future
generations to subsidize con-
struction.
This is typical Of the devour-
ing corruption Of unionism,
which Truman befrieneded and
Dewey didn't dare attack.

theirs in our unions. The burden
of this refrain was that the Taft
Hartley law was a union-busting
law. If it had been a union
buster I would have campaign
ed for it myself because union
ism is civic parasite and cor
ruption ravenous and foul. 1t has
no leaders but only bosses ruling
by power, patronage and graft.
The Pesident's campaign on his
Taft-Hartley fallacy in the guise
Of an issue was good politics by
the cynical standards which are
now the standards Of almost all
the people. Even learned men on
the Republican side were so far
corrupted that they chuckled at
Truman's theatrical fury over a
mere phrase put on his lips by
the press-agents of the gang
sters. The thing to do was to in
furiate the voters over a decoy
issue. Had Mr. Truman stuck
to the facts he would have
found himself boring them with
explanations of the laws clauses
and finally putting them to sleep
with the unexciting truth that
it was, on the whole, clumsy and
impractical.

WASHINGTON: Nov. 1.-THE
voters of the New England, Mid
die West and Far West states
may not realize it, but they
stripped themselves of impor
tant power and perquisites on
Capitol Hill when they handed
legislative control to the Demo-
ocrats. Their loss of key COM
mittee chairmanships can be
damaging to their local interests
in a bread-and-b butter way.
Before describing the almost
dictatorial authority which the
chairman of major committee
enjoys, as well as the extent to
which he can influence tn e
handling of questions involving
agriculture, prices, production,
taxes, power and reclamation,
the military, public works and
foreign affairs that affect every
individual and community, here
is thumb-naiI sketch Of the
shift:
VICTIMS: The fifteen all-im-
portant committees in the "do
nothing" Eightieth Congress, as
President Truman characteriz
ed it, had nine chairmen from
the Middle West, one from the
Far West, one from New York,
three from New Jersey and one
from Massachusetts.
In the next Congress those
same bodies will be headed by
only five men from the Middle
West, none from the Far West,
none from New England, four
from New York and six from
below the Mason and Dixon
Line.
The principal victims in this
Democratic shift are Michigan
and New Jersey The beneficiar-
les, oddly enough, are Govern
or Dewey's state Of New York
and the South.
PREFERABLE: In the Senate
the notable geographical losers
are New England and the Mid
die West, where Ohio and ILL
nois helped to elect Mr.. Tru-
man. The Far West and South
West fare better But legislative
power in thu House, where most
Roanoke Rapids daily herald., 1948-11-16
Tucker Says Voters Of Some Areas
Stripped Themselves OF Some Power

measures originate, is prefer
able to dominance in the SEN
ate except for filibusterers.
The present Senate has three
chairmen from New England,
seven from the Middle West and
three from the Far West. In the
next chamber there will be no
legislative bosses from New
England, none from the Middle
West, one from the border state
of Maryland, three from the
South, four from the South West
and five from the Far West.
The House gavel will be
banged by Sam Rayburn Of
Texas instead of Speaker Mar
tin of Massachusetts. Vice Pres
ident Alben w. Barley of Ken
lucky, cotton-a d-tobacco
plantation man will take over
from Senator Arthur H. Vanden-
berg Of the intensely industrial
lied state of Michigan.
DIFFERENTLY: A mere list
ing of the outgoing and incom-
ing chairmen Of a few. impor-
tant committees. as well as a
suggestion of their contrasting
and conflicting attitude toward
national problems of everyday
concern, shows how differently
public affairs will be managed
as result of the changed line
up:
House Agriculture: Hope of
Kansas, a corn-and-wheat belt
apostle, will be replaced by Coo
ley Of North Carolina, whose
main legislative interests are
cotton and tobacco. Ditto Thorn
as Of Oklahoma, who will head
the Senate Committee on Agri-
culture.
Appropriations: Cheese par
ing Taber of New York. who
fought Republican spending pro-
posals A. fierce,y as the DEM
ocrats', will be supplanted by
Cannon Of Missouri. The latter
is also economy minded, but he
usually battles for funds for his
area.
Labor: Hoffman Of Michigan,
a labor batter, gives over to Lee
sinski Of the same state. IN ul-
tra-liberal

of these resources, he said, and
still much farther behind its own
possibilities. BY taking the lead
in sponsoring corrective mea
sures North Carolina will serve
itself and the entire south to
good advantage. Early compile

ENFORCEMENT-Analysis Of
reports on traffic law violations
for October indicates more VII
gorous enforcement Of the law.
Convictions for moving viola
tons are serious enough to cause
forfeit of driving license decreas-
ed about rs per cent as COM
pared with October of last year.
At the same time, decline in
dropped 60 per cent and for use
of improper lights 10 per cent.
Motor vehicle department off,
Gals credit these big declines
to effectiveness Of the mechani-
cal inspection program.
REVOCATIONS-In the realm
OF more serious offenses result
ing in revocation or suspension
from 799 to 1887. Liquor, a.
usual. played biggest part in
number of revocations and sus-
pensions 1,03 involved liqour-
driving drunk, transporting, aid
ing and abetting in liquor Of
lenses. Excessive speed was the
next largest single item in the
list, accounting for A license
forfeitures during the month.
Observation-Disclosures Of
the license losses were due to
offenses which were not includ-
ed in the law last year. Chief
of these was failure to maintain
financial responsibility, resulting
in 81 revocaticns and suspen-
sions. The financial responsible
hty act is one of the important
safety code. It requies every
owner and operator Of a motor
vehicle to prove ability to meet
judgments for personal injury
from accidents. License revo-
cation is mandatory.
REASONS-Despits the biz
increase in forfeitures, highway
safety officials do not believe
drivers are more reckless or
careless than they were a year
ago. They maintain the con-
trary position, that generally
motorists show more regard for
the safety Of others. Reason
for the increase is credited
mainly to sterner attitude on
part Of judges, especially in re-
corder courts. IN dealing with
permit change Of warrants for
lesser offenses than first charg-
ed. Better trained and more
alert patrolmen shore in the Gre
dit for more adequate law en-

spect to national influence by
reason of the election. Mar
quis Childs, well known column
nists, suggests conference on
race relations and says it should

cause here it would be in an
atmosphere of fairness. Strate-
gic positions Of Tar Heels in

licized, as has the large voice Of
Joe Blythe in national commit

are overt and obvious. There
are others less obvious but no
less significant.

ticians are not reluctant to cash
in on this situation. Despite
protestations to the contrary,
there is such a thing as poll

While promissioIy notes are be-
ing issued for two and four years

ing checks for immediate CASH

TIMING--One business man

has called attention to the time
element involved. He reminds
that banking practice requires
presentation of check within

Carolina to press claims for con-
sideration in ALLEGATION of fe-

doubts wisdom of government

As a matter of fact, never
thought much of the Taft Hart
ley law myself and if Presi-
dent Truman had opposed it for
its real faults, l would have
agreed with him. 1t is too long.
Too much language. Doesn't go
far enough. But in calling it a
slave labor law and echoing
many other self-serving lies of
the most dangerous predators in
American history, the president
appealed to the almost indomit-
able stupidity of the electorate
and took advantage of them.
1t is a commentary on the
valunted intelligence OF the
American citizen that Mr.. Tru-
man didn't have to debate the
facts of the Taft Hartley Act
and the monstrosity of Ameri-
can unionism to the extent of a
single paragraph. Why? Because
Dewey was scared off by the bad
reputation that the professional
racketeers of unionism had at
tached to the names Of Taft and
Hartley. Because a lie has be-
come truth to very many Ameri-
cans who cherished dull.
dumb superstition that the Wag-
ner act was pro-labor and that
anything done to impair it was
anti-labor. Dewey was afraid to
60 against the great power of
that lie. He knew that in a de-
bate in support of Taft-Hartley
he would have to make de
mands on the intellectual pro-
cess of the people. His conduct
showed that he knows they Ell
Their can't or won't make the eff
fort to discriminate between lies
and truth. Thus Truman could
speak freely.
The candidate hasn't yet ap-
peared who had the candor to
tell the people that he would re-
frain from analysing an issue be-
cause they were too stupid and
lazy to weigh the facts.
Mere opinion has no place in
the struggle of the superior, law
abiding element of the Ameri-
can population against the butal
ity, larceny and oppression of
the union movement. Ask me
for an example and l will say
Taft is a superior man. Dublin
sky inferior. Herbert Hoover
superior. Dan Tobin, OF the
Transfers, a reproach to the sys-
tenn Of government that tolerates
him. In unionism we have a
plain issue of right and wrong
and anyone who is willing to
debate or compromise vitue is
immoral. Those who are willing
include many politically callow
clerky. On the whole these par
sons are ignorant meddlers. They
know, at least, that no man has
a right to inflict on many men
the prosecutions that all unions
visit on helpless citizens all the
time. They know that is wrong.
But they had got caught flat
footed after years of preoccupa-
ton with formalities, rigmarole,
prohibition and bingo. They
pumped for unionism because
the communists had got there
first and were making time
with American labor. The
clergy were trying to redress the
effects Of their neglect, but the
most charitable explanation Of
their conduct is that they don't
know what they are talking a.
bout.
Mr.. Truman adopted without
change the propaganda publish
ed by the union bosses at the
expense Of the fifteen million t.

In these essays no word has
been said of Germany. This is
because Germany Is not a pro-
tagonist. The struggle occurs
over Germany, helpless between
the contenders. This was fore
seeable.
For whenever a great power
passes, as such, out of history,
an imbalance is created which
leads to frictions between the
victors over where the residuary
of the defeated power shall
flow. If that potential is suffi-
cient to make one victor the
master Of the others, it lays the
basis for the next war.
The passing of great power,
therefore demands such reor-
ganization OF power relationships
as to assure that no one victor
is inflated by its heritage into
a position where it might de-
stroy the others.
Germany, by history. tradition
and language, belongs to Europe
What role she should play in
reorganized Europe is a matter
for the European states to de-
eide. She again can become a
world menace only if continued
tension between East and West
makes it possible for her to as
sumo position where both will
WOO her and she can call the
terms.
That, happened after the last
war. The Versailles System des-
troyed a great power -Austro
Hungary-and out of the resi-
duary set UP a series Of states
in alliance with France between
Germany and Russia, charged to
contain both. Divided, inter-
nally and amongst themselves,
they were weak. The structure,
weak at the point of greastest
stress, failed.
The Allies, tc support the
East-European structure needed
either the collaboration Of the
new Germany, or of revolution
airy Russia, with adjustments Of
one or the other. Failure to in
tegrate Germany into the East
ern power structure prevented
an overall settlement at Locarno.
Unwillingness to integrate Rus
STA into it lead to the failure Of
the Cripp mission.
Throughout her lifetime, the
German Republic, in the situa-
ton blindly provided for her by
her late enemies, was able to
play both sides against each Of
