Things -Are-Not- Tough ALI Over
Note: The King Cole Room-and
no other bistro can make this state
ment this summer-had to have a
new red plush rope installed at the
door the other day. The old one
finally gave way under the strain
of holding back the overflow Gus
toners, according to Boss Vince
Gallagher.
Vaudeville, which lost its old job
when the movies found their voice
and then found itself in the saloons,
entertaining people more interested
in the steaks in front of them, has
been regarding television with a
fond eye here lately. AHA" says
vaudeville, patting her curls into
place and leering at the iconoscope,
here is the mate for me. my own
true love to bring springtime to the
autumn of my days"
Vaudeville may be right about
this, but we'd advise the old girl
not to rush into any hasty union
and throw away her address book,
after noting what we noted the first
of the week. If vaudeville thinks
this is the real thing and no mere
passing fancy, we wouldn't stop her,
but she ought to know first what
we saw the other night.
Just before 10 o'clock we passed
the Shoreheam cocktail lounge on
our way out to the Terrace. The
television set was batting away full
blast. 1t was playing to an interested
audience of three cash customers
and the hotels electrician who
didn't have anything else to do at
the time. On the Terrace, where
the actors were round and real, not
fiat and electronic, some ATS people

Progress of Justice
(NeW York Timesl

(New York Times
 The slow and painful process of seeing that all Americans receive the equal justice that is guaran teed them by the Constitution and by our common law made progress in 194T The Tuskegee Institute, in its annual report lynchings records that last year there only one cear-cut of the invoca tion of Lynch Law in the South That the of Willie Earle the young South Carolina Negro who was taken from jail and killed by band of white taxcab drivers in Greenville. He accused of stabbng to death one of their fellow drivers
 The record for 1s47 thus ties that of 1945, when there was only authenticated The number in 946 six The worst year of the last two decades was 1883 when forty-two accused but not convicted defendants in rape and murder cases were Killed by men who put themselves above the law. The record since 1888 has been 1939 two 1940, five l941 three 1922 five; 1943, two; 1914 two; 1945, one 1946, six 1947, one.
 The for this declining rate is that not only does education appear to be making but that more and Southern officials, and especially law enforcement officers living up to their oaths of office and protecting Negro prisoners from lynch nobs often at the risk of their own lives Last year the Tuskegee report says, no fewer than thirty-nne persons were saved from death by the prompt and courageous action of public officials in defying would be lynchers In the lynching too that of Willie Earle twentyeight men were arrested and tried They freed by all-whte jury of their peers, it is true, but at least they brought to the bar of justice
 It has not been too many years since Southern official took his political life in his hands if he attempted either to stop ynchng arrest the ynchers or even derounce the crime. That is true longer Such men Governors Thurmond of South Carolina and Cherry of North Carolina former Governor Arnal of Georgia and many men in lesser positions know that they have the support of all the decent people when they preach the doctrine of equal justice for all men regardless of religion previous condition of servitude.
 One lynching year is too many. But the trend downward and this means that the progress of justice is upward Americans face the world with clearer conscience in 1948 than they could twelve months ago.

The other day, hoping to get her boss in a good mood so he would excuse her from work early, she concocted new slogan for Taber's main ohsession, the Re- publican party. On big card board poster, which she placed prominently in the office, she wrote.
 Dent be a Dem fool
 Vote Republican in 1948"
 Her plans, however, backfired. For the slogan reminded Taber that he had to write long letter to the Republican National Com mittee. Miss Aveduti dutifully took the long dictation, though it caused her to miss dinner engagement. But the following day she really hit the ceiling.
 When she looked at her slogan, she discovered that some mischiev- ous visitor had inserted land" be- fore the word vote"

The s2oo billion national income figure compares with $lt8 billions in 1o46 and with Sl82 billions in 1945.
 All major segments of the national economy shared in the advance the national income to S2oo billions Personal income approxmated $197 billions (up Il per cent from the previous year), but con- smers spent more of their income than in recent prevous years and saved less Consumer outlays Tor goods and services were about $164 billions up IA per cent from the S144 billions of 1946 while savings fell from around SIS billions to $l1 billions
 The Department of Commerce finds that much of the dollar increase the result of higher prices Nevertheless there was a substantial increase of pro- ducton in numerous fields goods especially were turned out in large volume This also applied to A number of household appliances. Radio output for example was stepped up from l050000O in 1889 to 17OO0OOO Vacuum cleaners were turned out at the rate of to in terms of the last pre-war year with production of, about 100000 compared with the l. 100 900 of 93e Washing machines, at 3500000 doubled the 1882 total textiles the spotlight Of 947 was on ravon Of this fabric the amount turned out-96O,- oooo pounds-represented twoaand one-half times the total produced eight years earlier.

COMMUNISTS GET MAD

The Communist newspaper in Paris, Humanite, recently publish ed violent diatribe against this columnist and the Friendship Train, among other things accusing the people of Strasbourg of spend- ing more money on Friendship Train posters than the cost of the friendship food. Here is the req son why the Communists were sore.
 When several floods hit eastern France, the Friendship Train com- mittee in Paris rushed several trucklcads of flour to Strasbourg and the surrounding area. This flour was made into small loaves of white bread and distributed to the homeless with label which read From the Friendship Train" The people of Strasbourg were so delighted at getting this food that they themselves took the mitia- tive and printed these labels.
 Following this, a group of Strastourg citizens set up com- mittee called Pain de lamhie, '" which has been producing 10000 petit pain" (white rolls) each day from flour brought in by the Friendship Train. These rolls are given to school children daily, to- gether with small portion of sweet milk which arrived on the Friendship Train, plus the soup made from Friendship Train dried beans.
 This program will last approxi- mately two months and should have an important effect upon the health of the children. Appar- ently the Communists also thought it would have an important effect upon their future friendship with the United States.

Ex-CoNGREssMAN JONES

It looks as if ex-CongresSman Robert Jones of Ohio wanted to have his cake and eat 1t too. Though now a member of the highly important Federal Com municatiCnS Commission, Jones went back to Congress last week to help lobby through a piece o1 legislation which is Gods gift to the power companies and also strikes a body blow at western re- clamation.
 When Jones was first appoint ed to the EGG last summer, he continued to sit in Congress in order to finish his work on the Appropriation Committee where he did his best to meat-ax appropria- tions for western irrigation, pow CT and reclamation. One of Jones pet schemes was to juggle interest payments on western reclamation so as to help the private power companies.
 Last week this same issue came up for debate in the House of Representatives after a comprom- lse nao been worked out by COP Congressman Dick Welch of San Francisco and unanimously ap- proved by the Public Lands and Surveys Committee.
 But Old Guard Republicans backed by a powerful private -util- ities lobby, opposed the comprom- ise. For some time the debate seesawed back and forth. On every vote the power lobby lost. Finally Congressman Charlie Halleck of Indiana, sympathetic to the power lobby, moved adjournment
 That night, the power-lobby boys took advantage of the lull They rallied their forces and had all their Congressmen on deck when debate opened next day. Also on deck was ex-Congressman Rob- ert Jcnes of Ohio who for years had fought the power lobby battle on the Appropriations Committee but now is supposed to be spending all his time on the Federal Com munications Commission.
 Jones appeared on the floor of the House and held whispered con- sultations with key Congressmen.
 In the end, he got his way. The power lobby, defeated the day be4 fore. rallied enough votes to send the compromise Reclamation Bill back to committee.

Auburn, N. Y, is famous for it's stay-at-home folks. Guests at the huge state prison there are at home practically all the time. How ever, Auburn allowed two of it's leading citizens to migrate to Washington, D. C. And Washing tonians would gladly give one of them back to Auburn.
 He is John Taber. Chairman of the House Appropriations Commit tee and watchdog of the Federal budget. The other Auburnite is Taber's secretary, Amelia Aveduti, and Washingtonians are quite happy to have her around. In ad- dition to being one of the pret- tiest and most popular damsels on Capitol Hill, Mss Aveduti is also a slogan-coiner.
