 WaTen-Got emergency housing appropriation of $7,50O,0O0 to help | local communities with public housing, and another $2,0o0.0 900 for rural housing.

Stichman, have consistently op- posed the real-estate lobby tso has Gov. Warren). while COP Con- gressional leaders have eaten out of its hand. Says Stichman: Ger tain real-estate groups must awak- en to the realization that their unyielding opposition to any pro- gram of governmnetal aid to i1ous- ing families of low income is a direct invitation to the Commun- ists to come in and exploit the resulting discontent The coun- try where people spent their lives in novels and shacks was the one that fell first to Communism namely, Russia"
 Rent Control: Dewey-Got N. Y. Legislature to pass Rent Control Act when he saw OPA was. likely to be killed by Republican Con- gress. l Warren-Called special session i of State Legislature July g, 1946, to stop unreasonable rent increas- es and unwarranted evictions. He asked that all rents be frozen tenn i porarily, and all evictions stopped ] except for statutory causes. His legislature, however, turned him down.
 [ Education: Dewey-Is boiling mad at ,so-called teachers lobby and believes they are unreasonable
 in salary demands. Teachers salaries in New York State are higher than in most states, though still woefull inadequate. Dewey helped get teachers one raise and 1 argues that local communities should take greater interest in education. not leave it to state. Af- ter war. he called N. Y. college presidents together, helped them get extra facilities to increase their enrolment 100 per cent.
 Warren--Has good-naturedly twit- ted Dewey about paying teachers such low salaries that theys mi- grate to California. In l946. War ren got Legislature to increase state aid te local districts and fix minimum teacher salary at $2,400. In l947 he got another $2o.000,000 for state aid to impov- erished school districts; also initiat- ed extra education for veterans so they could continue their studies on state money after Federal funds ran out.

Writing from Philadelphia. The Enqlirer's Lou Smith reports: q. Commissioner A. B. Chandler is picking up friends almost daily among the Eastern sports Writer fraternity They beginning to appreciate that he is two-fsted fighting guy who is doing good job of running the national pastime
 Ever since Happy Chandler signed seven-year $50 900 contract the No. man O. baseball he has been in hot water Larry MacPhail was largely re- sponsible for Chanders selection for this job and then Happy found it necessary to crack down hard on the loquacious MT. MacPhail. His action in sus- pending Leo Durocher created tremendous hubbub and during all of these proceedings the Commissioner frequently rufed the feathers of the sports writers who as a result. said some harsh things about him.
 But Happy Chandler has been in public life a long te and he knows that this is part of the game He took these criticisms in stride and went his own way doing his job he believed it should be done Now we are glad to tfrom Lou Smiths report that his most severe critics finally coming to the con- csion that Chandler knows his business and doing a good job for baseball. We think he IS, too--and have thought all along.

VETS LOSE TO RENTON, 90

outside of a barrage of base hits,
nothing would have done the Nisei
Vets more good than game-call-
ing rainstorm along about 12:45
last Sunday afternoon. But nei-
ther a shower of hits nor of pre-
cipitation occurring the Vets went
down to a 90 defeat at the hands
of the Renton Merchants.
Edo Sasaki, who started on the
mound for the Vets, didn't have
his usual assortment of stuff and
was derricked in the fourth frame
with the count 81 against the
Vets Relief hurler George Shi-
mizu retired the side without fur
ther damage and held the opposi-
ton to one run thereafter, but by
that time the ball game was gone
with the wind, with Vet hits being
few and far between.
Pitcher Phillips of Renton threw
neat three-hitter, holding the
Vets hitless between the third and
seventh frames, a stretch of five
full innings without bingle of any
sort. First-sacker Ted Matsushita
was the whole offensive show for
the Vets as he gathered two hits
and scored both runs. In the Sc
cond inning, Ted powered the ball
past the right fielder for a home
run, and in the eighth frame, he
singled and came all the way
home as the right fielder played
the ball in sloppy fashion, allow
ing it to roll too deep in the out
field for any kind of play. TAX va.

NISEI PROGRESSIVES

AS we peruse the vernacular per-
iodicals, somehow we get the idea
that the Nisei press is giving bit
too much play to the activities OF
a few Nisei who are climbing on the
Wallace bandwagon, such as it is.
and taking part in the party acti-
vities.
We are not questioning the con-
stitutional right of these people to
hold their particular political be-
liefs, nor to act as they please
along the political line. But the
feature play that some papers are
giving to these (so-calledD liberals
is out of all proportion to their
numbers, and is apt to create the
wrong impression in the minds of
other people,
We believe that most Nisei voters
are either Democrats or Republi-
cans in about the same ratio as
the rest of the country, and that
Nisei Progressives are also about
in the same proportion. There is
no Nisei bloc" of votes, and we
hope there never will be. The Nj
sci have no more of a pink fringe
than any other group that might
be named, and we object to any
Journalistic writings which might
tend to create contrary impress
sion.
