As We See It
 by THE STAFF

Congratulations to Harry and Anna Feinmark, who last Friday be. came grandparents for the first time. It was Mir. and Mrs. Joey Feinmark who done it to them. The baby is an 81z-pOund boy, named David Paul Feinmark. And we can remember the time when Harry was a young fella.
 HEADING on the theater page in the Indianapolis (Ind.) Star: MIR. COWARD'S SHORTS COLORFUL AS EVER.
 Chairman Alfred P. Sloan of General Motors Corp. told the stockholders at the annual meeting in Delaware, according to the Will mingtOn Morning Star. that the profits of the industry in general are more emotional than ecOnOm- ic." Sloan said ''no true investor is particularly interested in what hap pens in any one year or any par ticular quarter of any particular year.'
 The net profits, after paying all bills and taxes, of General Motors in the particular first quarter of the particular year 1948 were $96,- 5OO,OOO. In the particular first quarter of the particular year I947 they were 800, ,8OO,OOO. The net profits for the first three months of this year were 6O% above the boom first three months of last year.
 But to be sure it's mainly emo- tiOnal, as Sloan says. No true in- vestOr gives a dam.
 Former Sec.-Treas. John Reid of the Michigan Federation of Labor. Republican until this year. is making the race for Congress on the Democratic side in the primary in the Lansing-Flint 9th district. Reid served l3 terms as executive chief of the state federation.
 He claims both AFL and CIO support for his Congress race. The ClO is well disposed because of the help he gave in organizing the auto industry at the time of the sitdown strikes when he was close to Frank Murphy, then governor and now a justice of the U. s. Supreme Court.
 Says The International Team ster:
 'We Should Send Arms to Israel.
 Things happen fast these days. Between editions of this pub- and new war has started.
 "The nation of Israel has emerged from the conflict in the Holy Land and the savage Arab Iegions have launched war of annihiIation against the Jews.
 "The United States has recog. nized Israel. We should supply it with the arms to defend itself.
 However, many potential inter. ests in this country oppose helping the Jews. They fear they will offend the Arabs. The Arabs have oil. And oil, of course, is thicker than blood"

 Headed by Joseph J. Eagan, Typos, chairman, the committee in- cludes Bernard Cilbride, EIectri- clans; Saul Kreas and William P.

 Also upon motion of Eagan, the Council voted to authorize the ap- pointment of a committee which will organize a Union Label League in New Haven. Eagan said that such a League would be of benefit not only to the trades, but to the Central Labor Council as we'll
 Housing, and the failure of Con- gress to act on the Taft-EIIender- Wagner Housing Bill occupied a good part of the time of the meet ing. Both Hoff and Joseph M. ROurke, secretary of the COnnecti- cut Federation of Labor, who are members of the Area Rent Control Board, urged that all organizations be aware of the fact that a drive was on either to have rents raised in the Greater New Haven area, or to decOntrol rents. It will take the combined strength of labor and it's friends to see that this drive is de. feated.
 ROurke described the suffering being caused by the l4,OOO eviction notices which have been issued throughout the state. Many of these notices, he said, are ''plain cases of intimidation"
 BenSon reported on the convention of the Musicians at Asbury Park; Lawlor told of meeting with the advisory committee on schools to dis cuss wage increases for school GUS todianS; and Sherman and Rourke de- scribed the meeting held by the League of Women Voters which dealt with revising the city charter.

cided not to try for another term in the Senate. He knew the workers of the Lone Star State were waiting for him. Thousands had strengthened out their poll tax just to get "swing" at "Pappy."
 So ''the salesman from Kansas , who bamboozled the people of Texas for so many years and suc- ceeded in piling up a gOOd-sized fortune by his questionable meth Ods, deciding to turn tail and make for the tall grass.
 In Alabama, John Sparkman, young, vigorous, progressive, walked away in the Democratic senatorial contest. He proudly proclaimed he had the back ing of the workers. Instead of hurt ing him, 1t made his victory all the easier.
 HARTLEY AMONG MISSING
 This summary has been confined to the South, because that was the area where the Labor Vote" was supposed to be practically non-existent. Labor gains in the North and West have also been substantial
 Congressman Hartley-co-author of the Taft-Hartley monstrosity- has bowed himself out of public life after his own party utterly repudiated him. In the same state Senator Hawkes., former president of the U. s. Chamber of Commerce and a multi-milliOnaire, couldn't get to first base when he pleaded for a second term.
 The Republican party felt it
 couldn't afford to carry him.
 because of his anti-labOr record
 and particularly his opposi-
 ton to the Crosser amend
 ments.
 On that occasion he played with the Railroad Lobby, but he discovered that while the Lobby could throw cocktail parties in Washington, it couldn't muster many votes on pri- mary day.
 A number of other anti-1abor char acters in Congress have quit or been defeated. Others are apprehensive. Many are trying to square themselves with the Labor Vote" which they once declared was a myth.

Those Meat Prices

New York (LPA)-Troub1ed about the high price of meat? There's a good remedy, says New York's Depu- ty Market Commissioner Dunaif. Don't eat the stuff. There are still too many people willing to purchase meat instead of meat substitutes" he says. Instead, use fish, beans, eggs, he urged, and stretch the cheaper cuts.

REPENT IN LEISURE

REPENT IN LEISURE
 They are pretty mad about cer- tain things which have happened in Washington. They realize they should not have stayed at home, or ''gone fishing," in l946. They don't propose to do anything like that this time.
 So far as the South is concerned, the appearance of the Labor Vote" first attracted attention in Kentucky last fall, when Congressman Earle C. Clements, who had the courage to vote against the Taft-Hartley bill, was elected governor with compara- tive ease, although his opponents, right up to the election, thought they had the contest "in the bag"
 ERADICATION FOR SENATOR
 Trade unionists cheered. but smart "politicos" were not convinced. '1t's a flash in the pan" they said. "The Labor Vote is a myth" They are beginning to wake up.
 Last week in North Carolina, form CT Governor Broughton defeated Sen ator Umstead for the Democratic sen- atorial nomination. Organized labor, including Railway Labor's Political League, went all-out for Broughton. He had made a decent governor; they believe he'll make a decent Senator.
 On the heels of that came the re- port that Fuller Warren. a 43-year- old lawyer of Jacksonville. will be Florida's next governor, having led by fine majorities in the regular and the run-Off primaries. His Op- pOnent was Dan McCarty. a citrus grower. Labor gave its support to Warren.
 However, the best feature of the Florida election was the elimination of J. "Tom" Watson, notorious blatherskite, who, as attorney general of the state, specialized in berating labor unions and urging the adoption of anti-union legislation.
 He was sure he had the people of Florida back of him, but in the first primary he boiled only 50,000 votes out of a total of nearly 100000. Clear ly, badgering trade unions is not as popular as some people imagine.
 In Louisiana, where the late Huey Long eliminated the poll tax so that all Americans could vote, Huey's brother, Earl, went over for governor after a stiff fight, and after the smoke had cleared away, expressed his ap- preciation of the support organized labor had given him.

Libby and Troy to

The timely arrival of long a

to provide additional circuits which
have been needed badly said Geo
B. Amas. Eastern District Manager
of Interstate Telephone Company
today One circuit was added be
tween Occur d'Alene and Spokane.
which we believe will relieve ma
terlally the congestion on toll lines
between these two points. There
has for some time also been an in
creasIng demand for toll service
Occur d'Alene to Standpoint due no
doubt to the flood disaster to the
North as well as an increased flow
of tourist travel To relieve this,
we have added direct circuits be-
tween these towns and also a direct
Boomers Ferry to Occur d'Alene toll
circuit which will obviate a great
many of the delays reported in
completing calls.
'Of Importance to Libby and Troy
customers is the fact that we now
have established a direct circuit
Libby to Spokane for the exclusive
use of these two towns" Amas
stated.
we are continually on the alert
and are making constant studies
of the conditions facing us and
we are spending a great
deal of time and money to correct

long range program for expansion

fast as possible" said Amas.
