Southerners Try To
Scratch Truman On
Civil Rights Issue

Washington (LPA)-A drive to
force the Democratic Natl Conven-
ton to nominate for the presidency
someone other than President Har-
ry S. Truman seemed, to many
Washington political observers, the
probable intention of southern
Democratic action this past week.
The major development was the
decision of Virginia Democrats to
remove the names of candidates
from the November ballot, leaving
only the names Of political parties
and their electors. Truman would
not receive the votes of Virginia
electors, who without doubt will
be chosen in November, Governor
Tuck made it clear in his message
to the states general assembly last
week. Tuck attacked harshly the
Presidents civil rights proposals,
especially that for permanent
FEPC.
In the process of trying to stop
enactment of federal civil rights
legislation, Tuck also managed to
propose a further limitation Of the
ballot in the state to political par
ties that were on the ballot in 1914,
or who polled more than 10 per
cent of the vote in a general cleo
tion in the past five years. This
was rejected by the assembly IN
favor of a milder restriction.
Meanwhile, there were three 9th
er developments that lent support
to the hackers of civil rights. An
anti-lynching bill will be report
ed to the floor Of the House some
time this week from the House Ju-
dietary Committee. While the bill
is being proposed by the Republi-
cans in what some of them are
frank to say is an attempt to put
/ liberal Democrats on the spot, 1t
may boomerang. Many Republican
Legislators who'd like to embarrass
the Democrats are themselves OPP
posed to anti-lynching legislation.
The American Civil Liberties
Union last week wrote to both COP
and Democratic leaders in the Sen
ate and House. They asked them
to "forego attempts at partisan ad-
vantages" in backing Truman's
civil rights program. The ACLU
letter reminded the Congressman
that Republican Natl Chairman
Carroll Reece had, in effect, en-
dorsed the Presidents message on
civil rights. In a recent statement,
Reece had said that the COP is for
anti-lynching, anti-poll tax and an
ti-discrimination bills.
And in Atlanta, the Southern Re
gional Council joined with the
United Council of Church Women
for conference of some 800 south
ern leaders to discuss the report
of the Presidents Committee on
Civil Rights. The weekend meeting
is to discuss practical methods of
getting better protection of civil
rights in southern communities. 5"
Boris Shishkin, AFL representative
on the Presidents Commission, and
CIO spokesman, will address the
conference, along with prominent
church and civic leaders.

Comment On World Events

Hitting hard at the Communist
seizure Of power in Czechoslovakia,
Harry Fleischman, Socialist party
national secretary, charged that
Henry Wallace was playing Neville
.Chamberlain's role in appeasing
Stain while the Bolshevik Fascists
crushed Czech democracy. He
pointed out the lesson Of the Red
coup in a statement fully in accord
with American Federation Of Labor
declarations and policy. The state
ment is one of the best short com
ments that come to the attention Of
this column.
"Ten years ago." Fleischman
said, "Czech democracy was raped
by the Munich appeasement Of Hit
Ter fascism. 1t took bloody World
War II to reestablish an indepen-
dent, democratic Czechoslovakia
Today that unhappy land has been
crushed for the second time in a
decade-this time by the mailed
fist Of BOlshevik fascism."
Fleischman said that the Social
ist party strongly condemned the
Communist brow-beating Of Social
Democratic leaders in order to
force through the subjugation of
the Czech Social Democratic party,
whose membership only a few
months ago overwhelmingly dem
onstrated their opposition to further
collaboration with the agents Of the
Kremlin dictatorship" and con-
tinued:
"This cynical Communist usurpa-
ton Of power, with it's suppression
and intimidation Of all democratic
forces and its swift conversion Of
Czechoslovakia into a completely
Stalinized police state, demon
states once again the utter futility
of any collaboration or cooperation
between democratic groups and to-
talitarian Communists. The Czech
tragedy proves again the Socialist
contention that any such collabor-
alton means a Communist kiss Of
DEATH resulting in Communist
rule-or-

slovakia was an act Of Russian

Great Cain I'm Electric Powers Use
Makes Regulation A Major Issue

New York City QLNS)-Spec-
tacular growth in the use of electric
power to a point where, even before
the war, "a per cent of the Ameri-
can people lived in electrically
lighted homes, and electricity is
used, in one form or another, in
every industry in the country,
makes one of the major questions
now facing the American people,
according to a report just issued
by the Twentieth Century Fund.
The fund survey, which bears
the title Electric Power and Gov
ernment Policy says: "Along with
its benefits, the industry has
brought difficult problems; since
efficiency undoubtedly requires To-
cal monopoly and monopoly can
not be left uncontrolled"
Unbiased Picture Was Aim
The report, says Evans Clark,
executive director of the Twentieth
Century Fund, in the foreward, ais
based upon the findings of COM
prehensive survey of the relations
between government - national,
state and local - and the electric
power industry. The project was
designed, first, to give the public
an unbiased picture of how these
relations have worked aout-rate
regulation, control of security is
sues, and direct government owner
ship and operation; and, second,
to hew out some constructive planks
for a national power policy plat
form in the interest of the public
as a whole"
Facts for the report were as
sembled just before the war by a
research staff headed by Arthur
r. Burns, director, and Walter f..
Cairne, associate director. The COM
prehensive research report covers
such topics as regulation of price
and service; regulation of the fl
nancial organization of private cleo
trio systems; regulation of mar
ket areas and the size of private
electric systems; municipal sys-
TENS; public rural systems; federal
and state systems; and the electric
power resources of the nation as a
whole.
On the highly controversial point
of the relative economy of munich
pally owned electric systems and
privately operated systems, the
funds report says:
"Some of the differences in mu-
nicipal and private rates can be
traced to costs attributable to each
type of ownership. Small municipal
enterprises, operating in restrict
ed market, are probably as eff
cient as similar small private sys-
TENS (the latter, however, are
rare). So long as small public sys-
TENS cannot produce or purchase
power cheaply, their higher costs
in sense result from a type of
ownership which prevents large
scale development. When munich
pal systems operate on a large
scale, their costs and rates COM
pare favorably with those of pri-
vate systems" >"
Enormous Growth Shown
For the industry as a whole, the
report shows that the use Of cleo
trio power has grown enormously
since the turn of the century.
"From 1902 to 1910, the capacity of
generators of electricity for public
sale increased about 35 times, the
output of electric power about SO
times, and revenues about 20
times"

Then the Socialist secretary paid
his respects to Wallace, urged
prompt approval Of the Marshall
Plan and made a suggestion that
would put Stain "on the spot" if
he rejected it. He said:
"Those self-styled liberals like
Henry Wallace, who glibly describe
the Bolshevik-fascist regimes as
direct denocracies' and urge ap-
peasement of Stain in the Rame
of peace are playing the same
role today as did Chamberlain and
Daladier vis-a-vis Hitler in 1898
with equally disastrous consequent
ces in prospect should their coun-
sci prevail. Appeasement Of totali-
tartan dictator ship-does not stop
the dictators. It whets their appe-
tites al 1.-The more. We must speed
lily enact, as a strong weapon
against further totalitarian aggres-
sion, the European Recovery Plan,
with full appropriations and with
out political strings. This is essen
tial if the remaining bastiohs Of de-
mocracy in Europe are to be saved
and strengthened. And America,
to try to prevent the cold war with
Russia from becoming a hot, shoot
ing war, must now propose univer-
sal, not one-sided, disarmament, to
give the world a breathing space 70
wage peace. Even Russia, short
sighted and dictatorial as it is, may
prefer disarmament to world sui
eide. We can lost nothing by pro-
posing world disarmament. Even if
Stain rejects it, we will, at the
least, win worldwide peoples sup
port, even behind the iron curtain.
