NEW YORK CITY, July
9-Business prospects for
the second half of 194S are
now forecast as follows: ::
Optimism, tempered by Sc
lectivity. The second half
of 194S, / predict will be
better than most business
men expected and be al
most as good as the fabu-
lous first half.
I wish to stress strong
ly, however, that selectiv-
ity will become of ever-in-
creasing Importance. Some

UNION POWER OVER
GOVERNMENT

The great labor strikes began in
the early days of the New Deal.
Labor unions acquired their
strength because the President
sympathized with the strikers. The
White House door was open to
labor leaders for 16 years.
President Truman sought to con-
tinue the cooperation between the
White House and labor bosses, but
he did not manipulate the settle
ment of strikes very successfully.
He put. his eggs all in one basket
and labeled that basket veto for
the Taft-Hartley Labor Law. Con-
gress went to bat with the Presi-
dent and then the Courts took a
hand. The CIO and the coal miners
were brought under control. John
L. Lewis, Philip Murray and Will
/ liam Green now realize that their
power is beginning to wane.
1t appears that Governor Dewey
has been successful in making
peace between employers and work
ers in New York State. President
Truman failed because he was not
able to jam things through. Con-
gress disagreed in principles with
the outwOrn New Deal philosophy
KEEPING PACE WITH THE
HIGHWAYS
Federal aid support in road
building will make it possible FOL
states, cities, and all local govern
ments to build more highways ant
fix up the old highways this year
The Government has guaranteed
$500. 100000 as it's part in supper
of bodybuilding efforts.
There are more new cars ant
trucks than there are good high
ways for them to use. The real re
spOnsibility for caring for tn
highways seems to rest principal
with the states.
Federal grants in support O
highways started about 1913-an
highway building has been boom
ing ever since. There is no sig
of a let-up. During the last tW
years highway construction wa
slowed down because of shortage
in materials, high costs. and tn
money needed to repair local road
and streets. Believe it or not, al
proximately $1.5OO,OOO,0OO will b
spent on highways in 194S an
even more than that next year.
The reason the Government ha
to chip in so large share for tf
building of highways is lon
long story. No mOtOrist need

House Probers F|ayed
|By Atomic Scientists
In u. ). Job RefusaIs

Scientist who helped develop the
atomic bomb are reluctant to accept
Government employment because OF
the actions Of the House Un-Ameri-
can Activities Committee, group OF
scientists declared today.
The organization, known as Atomic
Scientists of Chicago, Inc, issued
results of . poll of its IA members
on their attitude toward accepting
Government employment. All men,
bers Of the group worked on the
Manhattan District atom bomb pro-,
ject the group said.
The poll was answered by 1oo
scientists.
Three-fourths of the scientists
said they would decline Government
employment or would be reluctant to
accept it as a result Of the attack"
on DR.. Edward U. Condor, director
of the National Bureau OF Standards,
by the House committee. Some sort
of security clearance procedure was
felt necessary by IS per cent, how
ever, and only per cent said such
procedures were unnecessary.
The majority felt that security
clearance procedures should provide
an opportunity for an accused SCI
enlist to know the charges against
him, to be given an opportunity to
defend himself and to offer evidence
in rebuttal. The manner in which
the charges against Mr.. Condor
were made caused grave concern
among the scientists, the poll re-
vealed.
Analysis Of the answers showed
that 80 per cent were critical d.
rectly Of the House Committe;; SO
per cent were critical Of the attack
on DR.. Condor without direct refer
ence to the committee and 1S per
cent commented that the effect OF
such incidents will be that the Gov

Jimmy Fidler, well-known radio commentator, has
proposed-with good sound reasoninga Department of
Youth in Government; and must confess that the
idea has very distinct appeal Mr. Fidler that
it National duty to future citizens to that they
up and develop into the very best possible manhood
and womanhood-and he suggests the means by which
this may be accomplshed-or at least fair beginning
made toward this end
We would like to have Mr.. Fiders permission to
tribute further ideas support of the central thought
while agreeing with all that has been sad
lar day and tmeof the necessary parental control and
guidance to build good citizens Regardless of the
sons-the late and all else-this discrepancy is
ing the disastrous.
We also thinking of the MIS-GUIDANCE of our
youth by bad and rotten examples of
if possible, than the above!
And finally thinking of the poisonous and soul
waited in the hearts of innocent American youths in certain
sections of fair and-all under the mistaken idea
that CERTAIN PROTECTIVE TRADITIONS be preserved
through the of the hate and in
justice that must go with such a program!
Yes, we need a DEPARTMENT OF YOUTH in our
Government for the very preservation of the Nation!
Not the Hitler Youth type which directed and chan
superorty-revenge and destruction; but wellplanned
program presenting the very best material for THOUGHT
LIFE AND ACTIVITIES which the youth may

This country and its people

THAT is the only way in which

Freedom and equality are not

WHITE CRTTICISES WALLACE, REPUBLICANS;
ASKS INCREASED MEMBERSHIP FEES FOR NAACP

KANSAS CITY. Mo. = (ANP)-
In an address before the annual
meeting of the NAACP, Walter
White, executive secretary, crit
icized the new Henry A. Wallace
third party, the Republican party,
and asked for an increase in the
membership fee Of the NAACP
from 81 to 50.
Speaking of the Wallace group,
he said that they would lead to
the election of a more conserva-
tive element to the next congress.
He felt that the Wallaceites
should work for the defeat of
false friends of the Negro"
White accused the Republicans
Of working with southern Demo-
Gratis to defeat FECP, anti-poll
tax. anti-lynching and other civil
rights legislation. He said "beauti-
full pledges" on their platform
would not be enough from the
Republicans. The Negro will be
more critical of the party plahks
from now on.
The NAACP will study more
carefully than ever before the rec
ords OF every congressman, par
ticularly on housing and civil
rights legislation, he said.
Saying that for too many years
the Negro has paid for what he
wanted and begged for what he
needs" White asked that the
membership fee be raised to a
minimum of 50. He revealed the
total NAACP membership was
$4,000.
The executive secretary also
read a message from President
