AFL Clerks Push
Dept Store Drive

New York LPA)ATransfer of
jurisdiction over department store
workers from one union to another
will not hold up the organizing
plans of the Retail Clerks Protec-
tive Ass'n-AFL, Vice President
Samuel J. Meyers said last week.
Meyers declared before plans
were announced the RCPA had al
ready mapped out its organizing
drive. Department store workers
are entitled to a union of their
own" he affirmed.
RCPA Secretary-T asure r
James A. Suffridge has been dis
cussing these plans with Dave
Beck, executive vice-president Of
the Int'l Brotherhood of Teamsters,
Meyers revealed. He pointed out
the Importance Of aid from the
drivers union in organizing retail
workers.

court case and their representatives
in Congress will wage a battle
there. "You can't print what |
think" was the comment of Gov.
Beauford Jester of Texas when he
heard that Attorney General Clark
had filed the suit. He called the ad-
ministration case "an effort to ma
tionalize public property and ma
tural resources"
Clark also asked the court to re-
quire Texas and Louisiana to ac-
count to the United States for all
money they've made from the tide
lands since the California decision.
1t was estimated that Louisiana
alone received over $34 100000
from the offshore oil properties.
The federal government is not ask
ing for jurisdiction over bays,
rivers, lagoons and other inland
waters.
Truman will discuss the tide
lands issue in his Jan. 5 State Of
the Union message.

J.L. Rhodes Named
Southern Director

Atlanta UPA)-J. l.. Rhodes
replaced George Googe last week
as director of the AFL's southern
organizing drive. For two-and-a-
half years he has been Googe's as
sistant.
Googe, who has won the affection
of all AFL workers in the south
during the years he has directed
the drive, was recently elected an
international vice-president of his
own union-the Int'l Printing
Pressmen's Union. Rhodes is a
member of Local 627, of the United
Brotherhood of Carpenters & Join
ers, Jacksonville, Fla.
A silver service was presented
to Mr.. and Mrs. Googe by repre-
sentatives of southern federations
of labor at a planning conference
last week as a token of their re-
spect.
In addition to leaders of south
eastern AFL state bodies, and
members of the southern organic
ing staff, this meeting was attend
ed by AFL Director of Organiza-
tion Harry f. O'Reilly, LLPE Dir
ector Joseph keenan,, Nelson Cruik-
shank, AFL Social Security Repre-
sentative, and Paul Ornburn of the
Union Label Dept.
Besides discussing plans for ex-
tending AFL organization in the
south, the conference outlined
labor public relations program for
Dixie, and campaigns to repeal
state Little Taft Hartley laws"
Emphasis was put on the theme
that social Legislation in the south
can and will be brought up to the
level of the rest of the country.
A similar meeting for AFL un-
ionists in the southwest will be
held in Texas in January.

as in the past, shall control and be
senior to military authority. In
Japan, General MacArthur's auth
ority is unquestioned. He formu-
lates policy, instead of merely
carrying out policy laid down by
the State Department or other
civilian agencies. The obvious fact
that he has done a remarkable job
does not obviate the equally OBJ
vious fact that here is a clear case
of military rule which is directly
responsible to no other authority.
Much the same situation exists
in Germany. The abilities of Gen
eral Clay as an administrator and
arbitrator are high. But, as Will
lam Harlan Hale observes in an
article in Harper's Magazine,
There is ample evidence that Cen
eral Clay has been allowed to free
wheel and make policy on his own.
Many officials, both in Wash
ington and in European capitals,
add privately that he has not only
made policy but has pitted his per-
sonal ideas against the expressed
policies of the State Department,
with almost invariable success"
1t is, of course, matter of point
of view as to whether General Clay
or the State Department have been
right. But, going back to. the prin-
ciple, here we have another situa-
tion where, in the worlds powder
keg, professional soldier exerts
the only real authority. And his
go to the Department of
the Army, which decides what to
do with them-not to any civilian
agency of the government.
To sum up, there never was a
time when soldiers have held such
power during a peace.
