IntoIerobIe Strikes

In the emphasis which he has placed
upon the public interest that would be
sacrificed If railroad strike were to be
permitted to occur, Justice Goldsborough
has gone to the heart of an issue with
which this country one day will have to
deal.
The permanent injunction which has
been granted to suppress the current rail-
road strike threat rests on the premise,
or, If one prefers, the legal fiction, that the
Government Is in possession of the roads,
and that the railroad employees therefore
are working for the Government and can
not strike. In his discussion, however,
Justice Goldsborough added the interesting
comment that the injunction would have
been necessary even If the Government
had not taken over the rail properties.
This may or may not be sound under
existing law, and the court did not specify
upon what basis, in the absence of Gov
ernment possession an injunction could
be issued. But legalties aside, there is no
doubt that Justice Goldsborough is right
In his contention that society should not
be forced to tolerate a strike of this kind.
A railroad strike would "disintegrate
society itself" Within a very short time
the people would be without food and
essential services. Our whole economic
system would collapse, simply because, in
this instance, a handful of willful men are
not disposed to accept wage settlement
which has been approved by the vast
majority Of railroad workers.
It is an astonishing thing that the leaders
of unions which are in position to destroy
the national economy refuse to recognize
that they simply cannot abuse their power
by resort to strikes But they do not recog-
nize this fact, or, at least, they will not
acknowledge that they do. So the alter
native is the exercise by the Government
of It's superior power to restrain them.
The course which the Government has
adopted in its appeal to the courts is one
way OF doing this But it is not very
satisfactory solution. The proper approach
is through congressional action to forbid
strikes in any industry, the uninterrupted
operation of which is essential to the ma
tional welfare, health and safety. Those
union leaders who are lacking in a sense
of responsibility will have to be stripped
of their unreasonable powers.
This is an issue which Congress has
sidestepped for long time. The Taft
Hartley Act, for example, provides no solu-
tion But as the minority interest repre-
sented by selfish and arbitrary union activ-
ity continues to encroach on the domain
of the public interest, further legislative
steps will have to be taken.

President GoIIeoos

The first popularly elected President of
Venezuela is welcome guest in Washing
ton. Senor Romulo Gallegos is not a
stranger to the people of the United States.
He is known to them as literary artist
of distinction, an educator and progress
sve reformer. His realistic novels, includ-
ing particularly "Dona Barbara" have been
read with appreciation here as they have
elsewhere around the world. He is an
incisive student of the human mind whose
skill in analysis is caught in a glance
But it is not simply as critic of society
and of social problems that Senor Gallegos
has been notably successful His creative
Imagination has been fruitful of benefits
to his own people and to Pan America
at large. Disappearing the reactionary
Gomez regime, he left home in 1881, re-
turning only after the dictator's death to
take advantage Of the opportunity to
organize a liberal opposition-the Demo-
cratic Action Party which came into power
with the overthrow of General Medina in
1945.
Presumably, Senor Gallegos might have
headed the government merely by grace
of the National Legislature. It was his
preference to develop new constitution
and to take Office by the mandate of the
citizens voting in the first real preSiden-
tial election ever held in Venezuela. His
four-year term began February Is with
a pledge of practical, positive and con-
crete achievements. This policy OF ra-
tional progress, he believes is the answer
to "the seduction of Marxist promises"

Senior Gallegos country dates back to q

Cleaning Up Comic Books

Every parent who has worried over the
problem of keeping too-lurid comic books
from his children (and what parent has
escaped the problem?) will applaud the
decision of the Association of Comic Maga-
zine Publishers to adopt self censorship
CODE Some such housekeeping in the
comic magazine industry has been long
overdue.
In the uncontrolled determination to
outdo competitors in attracting young
customers through sensationalism, some
comic books have become more and more
offensive. Nearly every magazine stand
and drugstore bookshelf nowadays offers
children a frightening array OF super
spectacular horror and adventure comics" :"
featuring usually sex, bloodthirsty GRIM
inals and sadism. Even though parents
may forbid their children to buy these
sensual and suggestive "thrillers," many
boys and girls find ways of gaining access
to them Authorities on juvenile delin-
quency frequently have warned OF the
dangers inherent in letting impressionable
children read such trash.
The Association of Comic Magazine Pub
fishers is to be commended for moving to
set up a system of self-discipline for the
whole industry. Unfortunately, not all
comic book publishers are members of the
association. It is estimated that fifty
million comic magazines are sold every
month in this country, but only about
fifteen million are published by the four
teen members of the association. The
association announces, however, that it
will make every effort to have the whole
industry pledge itself to abide by the new
code, which bans "sexy, wanton" comics.
Specifically denounced are scenes of
sadistic torture" pictures of women "in-
decently or unduly exposed" any attack on
religious or racial groups, glorification OF
crime and ridicule of law enforcement.
There is no reason why adherence to such
sensible standards should adversely affect
the industry. There is every reason, on
the other hand, why comic book publishers
should appreciate that they have re-
sponsibility to their young readers and to
the public that cannot lightly be evaded.

religion" That rebirth which is mankinds
only salvation can never be ushered in by
politics without ethics, by charters without
character, by machines without morals. We
cannot move into any radiant kingdom OF our
dreams until that kingdom moves into Us.
Even in q land conscious Of its flaws, be-
trayals, blots and blemishes, We sing not only
of the idealized past and the far-from-ideal
present, but also of the better land which,
please God, is yet to be. The founding fathers
pledged their lives, fortunes and sacred honor
not just to the feeble league Of the free on
the Atlantic seaboard, but to the beckoning
splendor of a glorious dream. Theirs was the
vision Of state where the people really rule
Of land Of economic as well rs Of political
freedom, of q union which finds room for all
the riches of diversity. Sometimes the founders
despaired of the infant Nation into whose
nostrils they bent to breathe the breath of
life. Even John Marshall in an early period Of
depression mournfully said, IT yield slowly and
reluctantly to the conviction that our Constitu-
tion cannot last" Yet in higher mood he

and fears of the first quarter of q century

On the 50th national birthday July l.
1926, both Thomas Jefferson, who fashioned
the shining trumpet of independence, and John
Adams, his predecessor in the presidency,
closed their eyes in death, Jefferson whispering

knowing that Adams spirit on that very day
already had taken its flight Their dimming
gaze was on the Frightening future in the faith
that the best was yet to be.

Their faith Is our faith, and the creed OF all
true Americans. OF thee We sing In loyalty to
glorious dream, in a pledge OF allegiance to
what our country ought to be, to what 1t
ought to do, to what it ought to say, If it
is to be true to the responsibility Of ability.
The true patriot Is q man who has the
vision of a country now only glimpsed through
the mists OF struggling years. His loyalty is
to that undiscovered country Of the Divine
purpose. That alone gives the right to sing,
MY country, 'tis of thee!' That ultimate
dream always involves an eager commitment
to a world mission and an unselhsh share in
lifting the levels of life for all mankind.
Today's summons is for a patriotism which
is loyal to the America which under God" is
to live and serve adventurously pledging its
might to maintain the good life for free men
in all the world.
with peace that comes of purity,
And strength to simple justice due,
So runs our loyal dream of thee,
God OF our fathers! make it true"
It Is OF thee we sing!

State Song Enterprise

Technical Sergeant Charles Granofsky
needs help. AS violinist in the orchestral
unit Of the Air Force Band, he frequently
Is called upon to play the melodies of State
songs. But not all States have official
tunes. Ten of them never have been
supplied with harmonies which neighbors
as being distinctively their own. Some
have been using songs which really belong
to other States. "Jerseyland, My jersey
land" for example, actually is Maryland,
My Maryland" with different set of words.
The same observation applies to Florida,
My Florida" Meanwhile, Ohio boasts seven
State songs which have been declared off,
cial, Alabama has five Texas at least four.
And California, with an official song that
hardly anybody knows, prefers California,
Here Come" which practically everybody
considers pretty swell.
The purpose of Sergeant Granofsky is
to bring order out of all this musical chaos.
He volunteered his services as researcher
and arranger in the hope that eventually
the Air Force Band might be up-to-date on
such standard material. But years dig
ging in the Library of Congress has taught
him the complexities of his undertaking
to a degree and extent he never would
have dreamed. The American people, he
has learned, made their songs without
bothering to be very formal about record
ing their histories. Not even Stephen Col
Inns Fosters MY Old Kentucky Home" has
been documented satisfactorily. A debate
has ragged for half century as to what
and where the "home" was.
But such details relatively are unimpor
tant compared with the problem involved
in popular preference for an unofficial
song and neglect of one legally authorized.
To illustrate Sergeant Granofskys head
ache, Arkansas in 1917 adopted very
pleasant ballad about the magnolias and
the jasmines and the cotton and the corn.
Yet the tune that brings crowds to their
feet cheering is the totally unauthorized,
nondescript and somewhat rowdy "Arkan-
sas Traveller" Similarly if band leader
wants to stir the enthusiasm of the Down
casters. he plays Rudy Vallee'S Stein
Song" and not any of the half dozen
compositions which the State Legislature
has approved. The three official songs of
the Show-Me State haven't chance with
'"The Missouri Waltz" and seven or eight
rivals of Paul Dresser's "On the Banks Of
the Wabash Far Away" mean nothing to
the hearts of loyal Indianians.'
