Something More Needed

Like everyone else who savors good mystery story,

he must be if Whitaker Chambers testimony is proved
to be correct.
Overwhelming proof that government official was also
member of Communist cell and that he was able to con-
ceal his double life successfully would make the
significant from both the human and political points of view
But if Hiss convicted of perjury the exposure
would not constitute that vndicaton of the Thomas commit
tee and it's methods which the members of the committee
already rushing forward to claim Something is
needed for that namely proof that acts of espionage
actually committed by Communists and fellow travellers
holding government jobs But this is exactly what the
mittee seems to lack.
The Canadian and British inquiries showed that Com
munsts have committed such acts The Thomas committee
has shown only that they mght-and that fact long
since recognized by the Administration and countered by
the establishment of loyalty boards.

Teachers Lobby Isn't So Bod

The controversy still RACES to whether Governor
Thomas E. Dewey of New York, Republican candidate for
the presidency at meeting of state denounced
the Teachers Lobby and called it worse than the Power
Lobby the Real Estate Lobby the Oil Lobby and the Liquor
Lobby"
Dewey, himself has neither denied admitted he said
that but popped again few days when Congress
Helen Gahagan Douglas (Dem. Calf) called atten
tion to editorial in the St Louis "Star- Times.
Washington newspaper men, the editorial said, studied
the reports lobbyists required to file with Congress- and
dug up these facts:
"The National Education Association, principal spokes
for the countrys classroom educators spent only
$5377 in 1947 anything that could be called lobbying,
and that small Included the salary of their national leg
slative representative
I'm contrast the obbes of big business interests spend

ment-obbyng principally for the TaftHartey Act and for
tax reductions large incomes-spent $460908 in 947
"The Power Lobby expended $252,742 in the per-
od, and the Real Estate Lobby spent $213,022."
Those the amounts the lobbyists admitted they
pended How much more went through their hands
knows An explanation from Governor Dewey would appear
to be in order.

Glorifies Toft-HdrtleY Act

The Republican National Committee this week sent to
all labor papers statement reviewing what 1t portrayed as
he nrogressye labor record of the Republican party
The writer went back about 80 years and called the
rolf on measures favorable to labor which the u o. spon
sored However, the document as significant Tor What
it omitted as for what it contained
For example, the committee boasted that Republicans
established the first Bureau of Labor IN 1884 and the pre-
sent Department of Labor 1913 But the statement was
silent about how the last Congress gued the Department
taking away many of its vital functions and sashng funds
for what remained.
Also the party took credit for putting the Norris
La Guardia AntiIniuncon Act 1932but it said nothing
how the last Congress nued that protection and re-
stored government by injunction.
Finally the statement wound up with section glor1fy-
ing the Taft-Hartley Act a which removed
politics and bias" from the governments labor relations
policies and established fairness and equity in unonem-
ployer relations.
The fact is however that every union in America is
fighting for repeal that vicious law because handcufs
labor far worse than any other in American history

Politics

1t is difficult for to understand how the Republican
leaders in Congress seriously maintain that the Pres
dents lpont program of emergency legislation is nothing
but politics"
AS the President himself has pointed out the desperate
need for nfaonary curbs apd for housing are
pressing to give the charge of playing politics" serious
weight.
For President Truman clearly enough if the others
do not that in eight months me-the earliest period at
which the Congress could possibly get around to acting
these probemst may well be too late do anything
effective to stop the spiral of higher prices and the bus
that must come aftermath will be close upon us.
If it politics to ask that Congress do something for the
good of the country think is good politics. We need

Good Government SUNDAY

The President Of the Omaha
Council Of Churches, Mr.. Fred
P. Curtis, today requested the
churches Of Omaha to observe
Sunday, April 4, as Good Co
vernment Sunday"
The appeal was the result Of
a UNANIMOUS action Of the ex-
ecutive committee of the Coun
Gil Of Churches upon recon-
mendation Of its Social Educa-
ton and Action Committee.
"a good Christian must also
be a good citizen" said Mr..
Curtis. "To have good govern
ment, people must register to
vote. They must vote for pub
lie officials of high moral char
acter, who will put common
welfare above selfish interest,
who will control vice, and who
will be leaders in civic Better
ment."
He urged that churches en-
phasize the duties of citizen
ship as a minimum necessity
for good government. TT is Of
utmost Importance that the
candidates for public office
shall be nominated in the Pri-
mary on April IS by our best
citizens. The Primary vote
has often run as light as $4,000
or 10000" he said.
The president Of the church
organization said that $4,000
printed folders would be distri-
buted through the churches
next Sunday by the Omaha
Council of Churches ur gin e

insists on good government"
He congratulated the chur-
ches' on the excellent emphasis
which has been given by them
to the necessity for registering
