&C the special session OF Congress in
December.
The House opened debate Tuesday
on its global program for $6,2O5, ,OOO,-
600 in economic and military aid for
non-communist countries This in
cludes the European Recovery Pro-
gram (the Marshall Plan already pass
ed BY the Senate) and help for China,
Greece and Turkey.
Debate was limited to Is hours and
House leaders predicted a final vote
by March 81. Ia clearing the omnibus
foreign aid bill for debate, the House
Rules Committee warned that the dam
ger Of World War III ''is not very re-
mote"
Draft and UNIT
Meanwhile the Senate Armed Fore
es Committee announced it was con-
vinced Of the absolute necessity" of
quick passage Of a draft law and uni
versal military training. The decision
was reached after a closed door ses-
sion with Secretary Of State Marshall,
Secretary Of Defense Forrestal and
Secretly Of the Army Royal.
The committee in open hearings
heard witnesses stress the need for
universal military training and a tenn
porary draft until it goes into effect.
'sTime is running out" said DR.. Karl
Compton. Universal training would
give US stockpile of time for an
emergency - 1900 hours Of prepara-
tion for each trainee."
Dr. Compton, president Of Massa-
chusetts Institute Of Technology and
chairman Of the Presidential Commits
sion which last. year unanimously rec
commended UNIT, characterized it as
freedom insurance"
Former Supreme Court Justice
Owen j. Roberts asserted that the
organized core" Of opposition to uni
Versal military training is in the Com
munist party.
''Its defeat,'' he said, "is now Rus
sia's objective in the field of our do
mestic policy"
Roberts said that America fell for
a Communist trick when it sped post
war rehabilitation.
Earlier Secretary Marshall declared
that "diplomstic action without the
backing Of military strength in the
present world can lead only to ap-
peasement"
sSign. Of War;
Some religious and educational lead
ers opposed military preparedness in
peacetime as sign that "America in
tends to 60 to war"
THE American people are virtually
being asked to write a blank check for
commitments in the international
scene, with the figure to be filed in by
the military" said one statement.
''In the final analysis" it said, "the
world struggle is economic and ideo-
logical and military service and train
ing offer no solution"
Signers included Chancellor William
P Tolley Of the University Of Syra-
cuse, DR.. Edwin Dahlburg, president Of
the Northern Baptist Convention, and
DR.. Joy E. Morgan, editor of the jour
nal of the National Education Associa-
ton.

Editor:

Ed1fOr:
This is to inform you that I
strongly disapprove of the pic
ture that was published in the
Star last week. l have been very
proud of the Star as whole, but
if pictures like this one, which
appeal to the senses and present
women only as objects of sexual
desires for males, appear regu-
larly, then I assure you that the
paper will not appeal to the wom-
en- of good sound character and
sound morals.
Women are sisters, mothers,
and wives. A decent woman
wouldn't sit in that position. Your
paper is pioneering in social re-
forms. Why include out-moded
and out-dated vulgarity?
We, the progressives, are striv-
ing to build a better society. In
a decent, healthy society women
will not have to go thru vulgar
calisthenics to attract men or to
appeal to their capricious sexual
desires in order to marry a male
and win economic security.

Mrs. FDR
Editor:

Editor:
Congratulations on your fine
article in the Star of June 12-
"What Has Happened to the Mrs.
FDR We Knew" Her tribute to
Jan SHUTS in a recent column
was shocking, but just one addi-
tionaI exhibition of what has be-
come habitual with her. She has
been steadily passing into the
ranks of the imitation, the mock
cries of enlightened liberals.
Your opening paragraph put the
truth very neatly and aptly, that
FDR died all at once, his widow
is shrinking and dying daily.
I regret that I am unable to
agree with your conceding her
sincerity. How can we recon-
Gle that belief with belief in
her knowledge of the course of
events and in her trained inteli-
gence?

THE Taft-Hartley Act was
Il sold to d lot of people on
the grounds that labor had too
much power and that 1T was
abusing it's power. People could
MT be sold on such legislation, if
they were given a real picture
of workers problems.
Let's look at what has hap
pened to industry in this year of
Taft-Hartley-this year in which
American workers have seen
their standards of living fall as
real wages declined and their
organizations were wea KEN
d. While a $4,000 pay check
means only as much as $3.50
pay check before the war-back
in 1939-the giant corporations
are doing nicely.
The corporations have enriched
themselves during the first year
of Taft-Hartley and they are
looking forward 10 even bigger
dividends from this legislation in
the months and years ahead. In
this past year their profits have
increased over 81 percent: their
taxes have been lowered: and yet
they have confined 10 raise
prices.
WORKERS need pay increases.
The country must have increased
mass purchasing power. Industry
can and should pay higher wages
out of its enormous profits.
The Taft-Hartley Law is the
legal instrument for denying
those. necessary increases, for
making high profits still higher.
AS I pointed out more than a
year ago, when this law was be-
ing debated in Washington-it
comes from the same philosophy
that gave birth to the Truman
Doctrine.
It is the idea that you can
really accomplish ON e thing
with punitive actions = with
force. 1t just doesn't work. You
simply cannot make the pay
check buy more by getting an
injunction against strike or by
claiming a worker to his bench.
YET this Act was sold TO lot
of our fellow Americans on the
grounds that it would bring and
I quote" industrial peace"
said year ago that it would
promote industrial warfare, and
I'm sad to say that the statistics
bear NE out.

days lost through strikes as dur
ing the first quarter of 1S47.
The Act has done what it was
intended to do. Giving anti-labor
employers the. full power of the
government to back up their re-
calcitrance, it has naturally pro-
NOTED strife. 1t had encouraged
employers to break off long
established collective bargaining
relationships. It has tempted
them to use all the union break
ing weapons the Act places at

The unheard of and previously

relative to the administering of
dope to Murray, was obliged to
answer many questions as to the
one-sided fistic imbroglio.
Regain asserted that There

not act until an analyis of the
brandy, some of which was sent
to the hospital, had been report

Blame for administering of the
dope was traced to Mickey Gena-

Murray's corner. Genaro said that
Jimmy Brown, Murray's manager,
was aware of the fact that he
had given Murray a small amount
of brandy. But Brown told repor-

had drank it.
Doctors at the hospital were of
the opinion that Murray was the

said that he would ask the COM

In racking up its string of sew

right handily.
In Riley Williams, 6 #. 4 inch

the pivot is thing of rhythum,

has piled up SO points in the

President of CorroII
Coop Speaks At
Statewide Luncheon

"The means to develop a higher
standard of living, modern home
better health where her children
are happy and contented with
their friends"
In these words Mrs. Oscar Sears
of Route 2, Bentonville, president
of the Carroll Electric Coop of
Berryville, describes how "the
rural housewife knows to evaluate
the benefits of electricity because
she was deprived of it for so
long"
Mrs. Sears was speaker at a
luncheon held in Little Rock as
part Of the statewide cooperative
meeting January 8.
Describes Early Fight
During the birth of rural cleo
trification many housewives helped
to build the first lines" Mrs.
Sears continued. "And while they
were out persuading Mary Jones
that the lines were real, notwith-
standing the fact that live birds
sat on the wires, or were convin-
ing John Brown that his farm
would not stand as security for
the building and upkeep of the
lines, these housewives routine
was probably at times out of
schedule. But what household is

especially one bearing so rich a
heritage that the time lost even

beds entirely unmade, but some
how the little black dots on the
map kept turning red, until the
first thing I knew I had so miles
ready to be built. Literally we
had built those rural lines on the
map.
"This was the first built in
Benton County. We went to the
substation and had a pole-raising,
several of the important men of
the county lifted a shovelful of
dirt-and yes, I got my shovelful,
too, to bring in the first rural
electric lines in our county. I
