Seven-Cent Nickel
Cincinnati Enquirer)

tClnclnnati Enquirer
 A Congressman, who evidently wanted to get his in the paper advocated seven-cent nickel the other day We'll, personally, we'd be willing to settle for the resurrections of the fve-cent nickel
 Thanks to "newsgram" in very useful maga- zine called U. S.. News and World Report, are completely informed on dollars which are made up of nickels There to be three kinds of dollars: The livng-cost dollar the commodity dollar and the labor dollar It therefore follows, suppose, that nickels fall under the same categores.
 The living-cost dollar, in you still with us, is worth 57 cents as compared with 1889; the commodity dollar, computed for what it will buy wholesale is worth A cents the labor dollar measured in terms of what labor it will buy, it worth AS cents Dividing these figures by 2o the corresponding nickels are worth two cents, eight and one-half mills; two cents, two mills and two cents, four mills, respect lively If you take average of those last figures will find that the composite 1948 nickel is worth not quite two and one-half of kind cents or half of what it once So, to get back to Con- gressman, figure he is all wet in asking for Seven- cent nickel On the basis of figures he should be asking for 10-cent nickel or. said in the be- ginning the old fivecent nickel We prefer the latter because the 10cent nickel would drive all the current fve-cent dimes out of circulation and they really a very decorative coin.

took away the largest share Of honors and awards, despite the absence or disability of of the stars. At several points good deal of tension developed over the decisions of the judges Happily only two such incidents seem to have involved American con- testants.
 One of them was the disqualification of the United States team which the 400-meter relay race and
 the award of the first place to the British team There seems to have been good deal of astonshment and anger this ruling, and formal protest against it entered The bitterness it engendered might have ruling been reversed by the judges after they had examed moving picture record of the race. But the reversal created ticklish situation; fer the members of the Italian team which had gained second place by the disqualification then obliged to hand their silver medals to the British, who of required to give the gold medals to the Americans
 The other incident was the award of victory in one of the featherweght contests in the boxing tourna ments to American Negro Eddie Johnson, on leave from the Army. The contestants were however pretty evenly matched the bout close one and the sympathy of the crowd largely with ,Johnson's opponent, Uruguayan. The decision greeted with howls of anger dersion and in the there was angry demonstration by the Uruguayans which seemed for time quite likely to turn into riot.
 All in all however, the Fourteenth Olympiad came closer than most to evoking that international sports manship and fellowship the games are supposed to foster. For this most of the credit belongs to the British hosts who gave the affair expert stage which had been frequently lacking in other Olympiads Their success in this matter does them all the credit since there is little doubt that the national sensibites were somewhat laceraed by the failure of the British contestants to make an impressive showing

 The oil workers demanding wage increases also According to authentic information this is the first time the Pacific Coast that the public is in serious danger being nconvenienced by strike of this kind If the workers strike continues, supplies of gasoline motor oil and other petroleum products will be severely curtailed up and down the coast.

 When Phil Murray broke with Lewis and threw up the UNIV presidency to become CIO boss, Murray asked Kennedy to come with him. Kennedy stayed with Lewis
 Lewis retirement plan, according to intimates, does not include com plete separation from the UNIV. He will retain an active hold on its affairs As sort of preSi- dent emeritus, drawing his $25, 5,000 salary as a life pension.

TOLD OFF

Phil Murray did some harsh talking to Wallace packers at the CIO executive board meeting that voted to support President Truman fer reelection.
 The leftists tried to block this, but were voted down overwhelm- ingly. Murray made no bones about his resentment at them
 Union leaders who do a lot of yammering about civil rights are not helping us very much in our fight for civil rights in the South" he declared. The CIO is the only organization which permits white men and black men to join the same union and to share equal ly in the benefits both are fight ing for. Let those who clamor about the plight of the Negro and labor in the South show whether they are doing as much as we are.
 Empty talk is one thing, and doing something is another. The CIO is really doing something about civil rights, and that's a lot more than can be said for cer- tain elements doing lot of loud bleating. The CIO is not going to permit itself to be stultified by any theological tplinter group
 Albert Fitzgerald. head of the leftist-controlled United Electrical Workers, had vigorously opposed the Truman endorsement. But after Murray's scorching blast, Fitzgerald kept silent.
