who have sent her notes of

as not to read in the paper
that some dignitary is having
a birthday and bake him a
cake. One recipient was Cliff

cent anniversary.
Recently, a friend stopped
by on the way to the airport
to greet a sister whom she
hadn't seen for many years.
Mrs. Hewitt baked a cake for

from the airport.

she says.
Once, she was asked to bake
a fancy cake for a departing
Chinese general. She wanted
to ice Happy Landings" on
the cake, but didn't know the
Chinese for this singular
Americanism. So she went to
a Chinese restaurant, and
after considerable palaver
about various dialects and
idiom, came out with a suit
able version which she super
imposed on the cake, much to
the amaZement of the gen.
eral and his aide.

In contrast this small group of railroad
union leaders are attempting to fout the
intent and spirit of the Railway Labor Act,
and dictate their own terms.
They have dictated paralyzing railroad
strike.
You will be the victim!
How long will the American public stand
for the undemocratic, arbitrary, and abusive
use of the right to strike and the disregard
OF the obligation to provide transportation?
How long can the American people permit
few dictatorial union leaders to defy the
processes provided for peaceful settlement
of disputes?
Force seldom produces settlements that are
either fair or lasting. Moreover, a point is
often reached when personal interests must
be held subordinate to the greater public
welfare. That is why the railroads have ac-
cepted the Emergency Board recommended
tIons. That is also why the leaders of these
three unions should reconsider their decision
to call paralyzing strike.

Look who gets squeezed f!
Union leaders representing less than oneen of railroad employees
reject recommendations of Presidents Emergency boaefuse to
negotiate except their termsteaen paaye nation by strike

THE LEADERS of three railroad unions, rep
resenting less than One-tenth of all railroad
employees, have called railroad strike that
would paralyze the nation.
These leaders refuse to accept 1515 cents
an hour wage increase retroactive to Novem-
Der /, 1947. This increase was recommended
by an impartial Emergency Board appointed
by President Truman.
This increase of 151z cents already has been
accepted by the 10 other railroad unions. But
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Engineers,
the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen and
Enginemen, and the Switchmen's Union of
800 of all railroad employees have accepted.
They have called strike to get more!
Unions refuse rules discussion
Certain rules changes demanded by these
union leaders-which would increase wages
still further - were recommended by the
Board But the union leaders want more
they demand that the railroads put into effect
ALL the changes they asked for, including
those the Board felt should be denied.
On top of this, they insist that certain rules
changes proposed by the railroads be with
drawn-in spite of the fact that the Board
recommended them! These union leaders
have refused to negotiate except upon these
arbitrary terms.
Greater wage increase not justified
Engineers and fremen are among the high
est paid of all employees in America, as figures
in the box show This strike threat doesn't
Justify giving greater increase than other
railroad workers received.
Emergency Boards are a means provided
by the Railway Labor Act in the public inter-
est to avoid strikes. The Presidents Boardl

We really were loyal to the ideas of

of Russia, then returned to Czecho-

several days in the section OF
Slovakia which had been occupied
by the Soviet government-military
not civil. From Prague, we went to
/ Vienna and saw as much as we
could OF the surrounding Russian
zone, and talked with the people
who came into the city from that
zone.
Then we switched to the Yugo-
sIav edge of Austria. A large part
Of Southern Austria had been
overrun by Tito in the spring of
1945. His hope had been to annex
this territory permanently, but he
was pushed back by the British.
From there we went to Trieste,
where again Tito had overrun the
country for 43 days in 1945.

add up to the fact that the Com

One Little Story.
Kosice was town of $4,000.
When the Russians came in, of
course, they made deportations.
They deported all the businessmen,
all the school teachers, all the peo-
pie from the German-speaking COM
munities; but, in addition, they
issued a call for volunteers to help
rebuild the local war damage.
Naturally the people who responded
first to that call we're all the young
Communists and Communist SYM
pathizers, the people who thought
they had something in common
with the Soviets.
They were told that they were
to be used for 10 days as voluntary
labor in rebuilding the town. Here's
what actually happened: $500
volunteers" were put into freight
cars, 80 to a car. They went nine
days without bread and water and
were sent to the Donetz Basin. And
they are still there. That is one
little story.
| In Vienna, we talked, while we
were at the Rothschild Hospital
with group of 5000 Jews from the
now-Russian provinces of Bukovina
and Bessarabia which were formerly
part of Romania. Parenthetically
this is fact that is little known
anti-Semitism now Is active all
through this region, largely because
the lesser officials, once Fascists,
now have thrown in their lot with

The hospital was already so crowded

these people passports to return to
Russia and start them OF in life
