In New York, press and
clergy have celebrated the esca-
pade of a headstrong little hoy

democracy and corn-spirits and

two chums, one white, the other

all lie flat on Park Avenue. The
frisk yielded two loaded pistols
and a quantity Of jeWelry swip-
ed from her foster-mother and
all this caused publicity and
comment in the whither-are-we-
drifting mood.
This junior miss, an adoptee
as a jargonist would call her,
refuted the sordid platitudes a.
bout poverty which have en-
couraged boys and girls of the
dirty neighborhoods to take up
crime. The foster-mother,
lady who knows where her next
minks are coming from,
couldn't understand her whim-
sey because, as she told the
cops, 1--WE gave her every

Everything" the parson said
with Corkonian scorn at St. Pa
tricks, meant social access to
the genteel friends of these
chemically nice people, and
plenty of money to spend. But
he thought Everything" didn't
include that sweet severity
which disciplines the character
with the right abhorrences.
The kid might have been
reading the Eleanorean prattle
which holds that democracy is
beauty of itself and consists of
neWs-pics of a Caucasian hen
politician shaking hands at
arms length with Senegam-
bian communist from Holly
wood at some conniption given
by a leftwing society woman.
The first premise is false so
there need be no discussion of
the second. Democracy is a
proclamation of self-government.
Promisculty, miscegenation and
free-style debauchery are more
and more familiar aspects of
this fastening ill and those who
look to the movies for the
causes of junvenile sin should
have looked to the White House

The cleric who took this oc-
casion to put in a plug for daily
prayers, the sacraments and
the formulated inhibitions of de-
cency, assumed more than he
could prove. These means have
had their failures. On the other
hand, character and honor do
flourish where the conventional
incitations to goodness were in
visible.

mother died in Alaska SIS years
ago where his father had gone
in the gold rush, bringing a
little boy of three and another

turned to the States. Three
years later the father died, leav-
ing the little boy alone with his
older brother.
This young man, now nearing
20, found himself in Telluride.

Physical Education Should PLAY A More
Important Role In Our Schools Of Today
Most of the high schools in the United States
fail to pay sufficient attention to the physical develop
ment of the students that attend them
Occasionally, some schools go in for athletics
in big way but the main idea is to please the public
by securing winning team. Very rarely does any
school or college, for that matter, plan athletic
program designed to reach every student and to give
the undeveloped boy and girl the advantages that
they should receive from physical development

This Man Wondered Why He Hadn't Many
Friends And Couldn't Do Business
Once upon time there a man, who lived in
a town and spent all his money away from home. He
was sure that he could take of himself and that
his town didn't need anything from him.
After few years, his business wasn't as keen
as he had hoped it would be, his friends didn't seem
to think he quite as important as he thought he
was and trade seemed to flow by his doors.
The man began to watch his competitor who was
an intelligent advertiser contributor to the public
purse, anxious to give his time and thought to
community projects and believer in the fact that it
pays to keep money at home,
After noting all these factors, the continued
to wonder why some of his old customers went to the
newcomer and why almost everybody had the idea
that he was tightwad, but that his competitor
public-sprited leader of community life.

PROTAGONISTS: House De-
mocratic leaders are engaged in
a backstage row which may
break into the open when they
organize the eighty-first Con-
gress next month.
Principal protagonists are
two friendly but strong minded
veterans - Sam Rayburn of
Texas and the octogenarian
from North Carolina, Robert L.
("Muley Bob') Doughton. The
first will be Speaker of the next
House, while Mr.. Doughton will
return to his old post as Chair
man of the Ways and Means
Committee.
The dispute involves selection
of six Democrats to fill Ways
and Means vacancies. Although
the committee usually makes its
own choices and normally fol-
lows Mr.. Doughton's advice, Mr..
Rayburn will WELD great influ-
ence.
He has indicated that he fav-
ors six fairly "liberal" men,
bers men who would be fav-
orable to any White House pro-
posal for an excess profits or
higher corporate levies. Mr..
Doughton, on the other hand, is
inclined to oppose such sugges-
tions unless January budget re~
qulrements show them to be alb
solutely necessary.
incidentally, there is no ex-
pectation that the Democrats
will increase personal income
taxes. 1t would be too danger
Gus, politically, in the leaders
opinion.

WASHINGTON, Dec. 10 The
American peoples bitterness to-
ward Russia and Henry A. Wal
lace's wretched performance in
the presidential campaign are
chiefly responsible for CIO Pres
ident Philip Murray's current,
all-out attack on "Commies" in
his organization, according to
his close friends and advisers.
"Uncle Joe" and "Uncle Har-
ry' have been their own worst
enimies insofar as wooing and
winning over the American work.
ingmen are concerned. They
have muffed whatever chance
they ever had of infiltrating
their supporters into positions OF
power and influence in the labor
movement.
AS a conservative and deeply
religious man, Mr.. Murray has
always hated Communism and
it's American affiliates. But he
has tolerated them - too pat
iently, some of his intimates
think - because an aggressive e
Campaign against them earlier
might have cost him his throne
and smashed the CLIO.
EFFECTIVE: The mass un-
ion was officered and manned
with many leftists and believers
in direct action when Mr.. Muir
ray succeeded John L. Lewis as
president in 1910, after the lat
ter kept his promise to resign
if Wendell Willkie were defeated
by President Roosevelt.
Although no radical himself,
Mr.. Lewis used fellow-travelers
in his belligerent and bruising
drive to unionize great indus
tries. They were extremely eff
fective organizers in those pio-
neer days.
His defense always was that,
if there were Communists in the
plants he sought to take under
his wing, it was the fault of the
employers, not his.
"They hired them in the first
place didn't they?," was his
standard reply to these accusa-
tons.
S1GNIF1CANT: Thus Mr..
Murray had tough housekeep-
ing job on his hands when he
assumed command. There were
several admirers of Moscow on
his headquarters staff, and they
did not leave until the Wallace
entrance into the race, when
they cast their lot with his.
For almost eight years Mr..
Murray took no action against
the radicals, and it is his SEEM
ing Indifference which makes his
present attitude so significant.
Quite as important for its side
light on labor's policy is the fact
that CIO leftists were steam
rollered at the recent Portland
convention when they tried to
thwart his cleanup program.
He admits, however, that he
might not have been able to
command convention support if
it had not been for Stalin's post
war Consciousness and Mr.. Wal
lace's campaign role as an ap-
ologist for the Kremlin.
IMPORTANCE: This anti
Communist move is expected to
have great and continuing poll
tical Importance as we'll as

cies during his four years in the
White House. 1t will probably
make him even more respon-
sive to labor's legislative de-
mands.

HEARTENED: The Wallace
rebuff has heartened President
Truman and National Chairman
J. Howard McGrath in their
planning for the party. In their
opinion, it removes him and his
faction as guerilla threats in the
1850 Congressional contests and
in future presidential campaigns
They realize that it was his
presence in last months race
which gave New York's forty
seven electoral votes to Cover
nor Dewey. Had Wallace been
able to qualify in Illinois, he
might have showed that state in
to the republican column, for
Mr.. Truman carried it by only
3l,196 votes, according to unof-
ficial figures.

Islands, their beauty, their
problems, and ways in which
our economic plight might be
relieved. This is such an ac-
cepted method that it needs
but to be mentioned in order
tor all to see its possibilities.
Not long ago there was talk
in the nation, of Universal
Military Training, and indeed
many Congressman were in fa-
vor, but their constituents
back home in the several
states, towns and villages
quickly let them know that
the people would look with
disfavor upon it, and quickly
a compromise was made.
There is no doubt that if our
problems were known, and
being bnown could receive the
necessary sympathy, the bill
for the return of the Internal
Revenue Taxes might already
have found its way on the
floor of the House.

Publicity As A Way Out

PUBLICITY is undoubtedly our one way out. If we are
to- get anywhere, if we are to wrest ourselves from the sad
economic plight into which we have found ourselves, we must
turn to the method of getting our case before the American
public. And this is true particularly with reference to the re-
turn of the Internal Revenue Taxes.
NC long ago the Ways and Means Committee tabled
the bill which would have been our economic salvation. With
the tabhng of that bill the lights went out temporarily, and
those who have concern in the welfare of these Islands knew
that a major battle had been lost. This is shown by the fact
that today the strictest measures have to be employed in or
der to keep even the normal functions Of our government
going. Our way out, we say, is via publicity.
EVER since the United States acquired these Islands 81
years ago, we have been il. the place of partially forgotten step
children. The truth Of the matter is 4 that neither the renresen-
tatives in the Congress nor the American people know verv
much about the Virgin Islands. And sad to saw. there are
many who do not even know that there is such a place on the
map. As a result, many measures for the interest Of the Virgin
Islands are given secondary spots, and as compared to the
other Territories and Possessions we seem almost forgotten.
WHENEVER the people of America desire that a mea-
sure be passed by Congress, they let their representatives
know, and the desired result is very often forthcoming. While
1t IS true that an identical method cannot be applied with ref
erence to the Virgin Islands, yet, if we were known to repre-
Sentatlves and the American people, we could, through those
people, bring about highly desirable and beneficial measures.
In the case OF Puerto Rico, Hawaii and Alaska, their Resident
Commissioners in Congress keep members of the Senate and
House forever informed, and thus there is not the problem
which we face. In addition, there is the overall knowledge
that there are such places, what they represent in the Ameri-
can scene, and how they operate.
IT IS time that the Virgin Islands begin to plan and put
into effect a vast program Of publicity whereby not only
