Loud Applause;
1t Real?
Studio Audiences
Come In Handy

DETROIT - When HaroI d
Stassen opened his campaign in
support of his erStwhile oppon-
ent, Thomas E. Dewey, his speech
was greeted with loud applause.
But newspaper men attending
noted that the hall was only
SparSely filled, that the audience
was told when to clap and were
given instructions by radio ex-
perts to applaud loudly to give
the impression that the hall was
crowded, a technique often used
for commercial radio broadcasts.
Typical of the Stassen speech,
incidentally, was the lie that
President Truman's Labor Day
audience in Detroit was forced to
attend the rally under pain of
"$3 fine imposed by Labor
bosses"
The truth is that one Detroit
Teamsters local, at a meeting
prior to the rally, voted to fine
themselves if they failed to par
ticipate in a Labor Day parade
earlier in the day.
No other Detroit union took
similar action.

More Of NAM
Propaganda
Production Lies Barred
By News Magazine

WASHINGTON - The ultra
conservative magazine, u. S..
News, published by Columnist
David Lawrence, has given the
lie to repeated NAM statements
that Labor is not producing
enough.
The U. S. News says that in
the period from 1889 to 1948,
Americas gross national produc-
tion has jumped 173 percent. In
the same period, the magazine
adds, total employment has in
creased only % percent, thus
showing that production per man
is at an all-time high.
At the same tine, the same ar
ticle proves the falsity of state
ments that high production is the
only key to low prices. Said U. S,
News, during this same period
Q939-1948) corporate profits,
after taxes, climbed 272 percent.
Meanwhile, NAM propaganda
lists continued to Shout that high
prices were not caused by unrea-
sonable profits.

Limousine Audience
AT Detroit, in a labor speech

Warren mildly defended the
Taft Hartley Act and added that
"if any of its provisions are
found to be oppressive, -unneces-

Ball, a co-author of the Taft
Hartley Act, said that strikes on

Closed Door
Session To
Weigh Plans
Industrial Leaders
Discussed Prices,
Production Slash

NEW Notwithstanding to the
New York Times, the nations
largest industrialists, who were
unnamed, gathered in a closed
door session here recently to
weigh plans for the future.
According to the Times, the de-
cision they tried to reach was:
shall production or prices be cut?
The Times said their attempts to
make a decision were mostly
without success.
Historically, American indus
try has curtailed production by
large layoffs of production work
ers whenever industry had zoom-
ed prices to the point that con-
sumers stopped buying. This de-
vice creates an artificial scarcity
of goods and keeps prices at a
high level, while production costs
are virtually wiped out.
Economists have pointed out
that today's high prices for con-
sumner goods could be drastically
lowered if corporations would be
satisfied with normal profits, in
stead of the extraordinary profits
amassed since the end of the war.
The amazing part of the story
iS that the same industrial lead
ers who are daily shouting for
more production. should spend a
week discussing plans for slash
ing production to keep prices
high. The American thing to do,
of course, would be to slash
prices, keep millions of produc-
ton employees at work and
make it easier for American con-
sumers to get the goods they
need.

Team captains will be called

The groups concentrated
on having every voter eligi-
BILE in their all-out drive to
surpass all Registration
records.
In the final four days of reg
istration, set up at the advice of
the labor groups to have centers
in all sections of the city. and
townships, over 10000 qualified
to vote. It was the demand of the
labor group to extend the regis
tration centers to more than one
day as originally planned by GER
tain members of the Elections
Board.
The Burke for Congress Com
mittee induced many members
to spearhead the drive to get all
the potential voters to register
even providing transportation to
the centers in the last four days.
Cooperation among the Go,
AFL and MESA groups was re-
ported as up to par in the all
out campaign to win the election
for Burke.
Many of the political leaders
said that the recent drive and
the enthusiasm shown by the po-
tential voters responding to ap-
peals to register spells victory
for Burke who is indorsed by all
labor in Toledo.

Radio Service
Is Planned By
Toledo Group
Program Based
On Facts Against
Racial Discrimination

The first program in the
new radio series, Bedtime
Stories for Adults Only" to
be presented on Monday eve
nings over S a tion WTOL
will be produced on Novem-
Der 8 under the auspices of
the Board of Community Re-
lations of the City of Toledo, it
was announced today by Felix
Gentle, executive secretary. The
series will present facts against
racial and religious discrimina-
ton in the form of dramatic
stories written by famous radio
playwrites. The first story, from
which the series takes its name,
was written by Arch Obler, radio
script writer, for the Association
of Christians and Jews.
In order to give the program
the sincerity the material merits,
the Board of Community Rela-
tions is making an appeal to
of all language, racial,
and religious groups to partici-
pate on a volunteer basis. Audi
tions are scheduled each Sunday
during the month of October
starting at 200 P. M, at the
studios of WTOL in the Bell
Building. Addition material will
be furnished but dialect or char
acter actors may bring their own
if they prefer.
Mrs. Robert E. Hollinshead, di-
rector and producer of the series,
says that age is no barrier to
taking part because the casting
of the thirteen scripts planned
for the series will require both
voices and elderly
roles as we'll as the young adult
group. An accent may even be
an asset in casting some of the
scripts. Although the more diff
ficult roles may be carried by
radio experience other than the
ability to read fluently. While
Mrs. Hollinshead is keeping in
mind the quality of the finishing
production, she feels that this is
a community project and as such
offers an opportunity to gain air
for Negro and White,
Catholic, Jew or Protestant,
alike.

hour for all workers is apparent
ly the new Republican goal.
Governor WarrenS soft
words intended to make working
people think the Republicans
stand for fair labor practices
will not persuade many workers
nor alarm the big business con-
tributors to the Dewey-Warren
campaign. Both groups know that
Warren couldn't keep that prom
Use if he wanted to.
"On the other hand when Ball
and Hartley promise fur t. h er
blows against working people,
workers take real alarm and
anti-labor big business groups
take great encouragement. Both
know what Republicans of the
school of Ball and Hartley have
produced in the past and will
produce again if the Republicans
win in November.
Dewey Keeps Own Views
Meantime Governor Dewey,
who is running with Warren, is
supporting Ball and is friend
of Hartley as we'll, has kept his
own views on labor problems to
himself. Presumably at some flu
ture date he will make a ringing
speech in favor of the eight
hour day and against rainy Sun
days.
II am sure such a speech will
be fluent and facile and highly
conducive to national unity. But
what working people want to
hear from Governor Dewey is
how he feels about the Tafts and
and Joe Balls of the
COP and why he kept silent
when they passed anti-labor Leg
islation in the 8Oth Congress"
