EIks viii Award 200 College Scholarships
In $50, 900 Competition

"Elks scholarships are a part
of our Orders program of posi-
tive Americanism to develon
young men and women better
equipped for citizenship in a
democracy" Mr.. Malley stated
I'VE have seen enough examples
of college graduates who have re.
nouneed democracy for totalitar-
ianism to know that education
alone is not enough. Nevertheless
a democratic society imposes upon
its citizens special responsibilities
which they can better assume if
they have the knowledge and
training which an education can
confer. Therefore, while scholar
ship is the first requirement for
these awards, they are made only
to students whose backgrounds
clearly show their fidelity to the
principles of liberty, justice and
equality"
Any senior student of a high or
preparatory school, or college
undergraduate, who is a resident
of the United States or its possess
sions may apply for an award.
Application forms and complete
details can be obtained at any of
the 1,498 Elks lodges. Applications
must be filed before March l, 1949.

ers for agricultural conservation
practices and about $4,000 in
the sale of broilers. These losses
were more than offset by the high
prices of grains, truck crops, and
milk. In analyzing the past years
farm income, DR.. Bausman says
that it is well to keep in mind that
the average annual cash farm in
come in Delaware for the pre-War
III period (1945-1939) was slightly
over $24,oOO,O00. Throughout the
history of the state this is the fifth
major peak of farm income. AS to
the future and what the level of
income may be for the next few
years, he says the records show
that the four previous peaks were
followed by periods of declining
income. Delaware farm income
may go still higher, but looking at

Smyrna Cafe Destroyed by Fire

Smyrna Cafe Destroyed by Fire
Residents along the Boulevard at

alarm between one and two O'Clock
Thursday morning when the Smyr-

Miss Clara Leinberger, next to the
Ennis and Deakyne filling station
on the north lane of Boulevard,
was wrecked and badly burned. 1t
seems that late that night an auto
bearing Massachusetts, license
drove up and stopped in front OF
the restaurant. Theodore Veretts
is reported to have gotten out and
went into the restaurant leaving
the others in the car. Veretta had
only been in the restaurant a short
time when a terrific explosion took
place. Veretta and the owner Of
the place, William Venetsanos, were
picked up badly burned and shock

residents of Kent County who
value the sacred right to ex-

sure of the fact that they have

well intended residents of our

cause the privilege to vote has
been denied them. No one is
to blame but the voters them

COP Tactics

WASHINGTON (LPA)-CIO-
PAC Director Jack Kroll last
week revealed that the PAC in
Harrisburg, Pa, had the Attor-
ney General to assign FBI agents
to keep an eye on the election
day tactics of the Republican
machine in Dauphin County.
Kroll said George Medrick, of
PAC in Harrisburg, the state
capital, wired the request to the
Justice Dept. National CIO-PAC
endorsed the demand.
Recently local d ete tiv S
friske CIO members and
friends entering a prediction
PAC rally. Medrick wired Attor-
ney General Clark that lever
pulling, illegal assistance, brib-
ing and intimidation of voters
are the "well known practice
of the COP Wheel-horses in
Harrisburg.
Even one of the local news
paper, not noted for its pro-labor
bias, said editorially that it
would welcome FBI surveillance
of the polls.
Kroll told reporters that over
10000 CIO politica a ! action
workers were putting in full
time at the polls on election day.
Many more CIO members, he
declared, devoted as much time
as they could to the final stint.
Since July II, the PAC chief
said, the CIO group has dis
triputed over 100000 pieces
of nationally published litera-
ture, and has furnished ESQ cam
paigf speakers. Local PACs
have put out even more pam
phlets and flyers, Kroll declared,
and have sponsored over 300
radio shows.

.CIO Honors
Sen. Wagner

NEW YORK (LPA)-In cere-
monies highlighted by an ex-
temporaneous talk by President
Truman, the CIO Community
Services Committee last week
gave its annual award to Sen.
Robert F. Wagner, in recognition
of his outstanding contribution
to the health and welfare of the
nation"
The man whose name is on
almost every piece of basic New
Deal legislation, including the
National Labor Relations Act
which was all but wiped out
by the Taft Hartley law, was
honored by a $4,000 award.
The money will be used for
scholarships in the field of labor
and oSclal service.
Robert F. Wagner Jr. received
the award on behalf of his father
who was too i'll to attend, but
who heard the speeches over the
radio. CIO President P hill p
Murray told the 200 guests at
the ceremonies that THE record
shows where Sen. Wagner stands
and how he always acts on
our behalf"
President Truman saved time
for a brief stop at the ClO affair
during his crowded day In New
York, devoted to a last-minute
appeal for votes. Sen. Wagner
along with President Roosevelt
stands for the heart and soul OF
the New Deal. I'm proud to have
been a part of it," Truman told
the audience, which cheered him
loudly.
Presidents Jacob Potofsky of
the Amalgamated c o t h n g
Workers and Emil Rieve of the
Textile Workers Union also ad-
dressed the guests. Rieve told
them that he feared Governor
Dewey's unity" would resemble
the shotgun wedding. Potofsky
appealed for whole-hearted sup
port of the structure of pro-labor
and social legislation built up by
Wagner and other architects OF
the New Deal.

Drug Firms Lobby
Spent More Than
Real Estate Men

WASHINGTON (LPA) -
Sure, unionists know all about
lobbies. But do you know what
big-business group spent the
largest lump sum fighting social
legislation in the first three
quarters of this year?
It's not the private power
interest, or the real estate-land-
lord combine, nor even the Com
mittee for Constitutional Govt
which fights for tax reductions
and restrictions on labor.
The National Physicians Com
mittee is the top spender, ac-
cording to the reports it has filed
with Congress. To fight health
insurance which NPC calls
"socialized medicine"-the COM
mittee has spent 353,99O during
the first nine months of 1948
according to its own reports.
Ironically enough, NPC ex-
pended this sum, larger than its
entire 1947 budget, at a time
when the Wagner-M urra y
Dingell health insurance bill
didn't stan d the ghost of a
chance of passing the Republican
dominated Congress.
The physicians of the country
don't put up all the cash to run
the anti-health insurance lobby
About one-third of the NPC's
funds during the first half of
this year were contributed by
20 large drug firms. They put
up $4,000 out of the $240,-
727.66 spent by NPC in tb at
time.

to the tune of IL $50 votes for
that is the amount by which
Thomas H. Burke endorsed
labor candidate in Toledo de-
feated the three term Con-
gresham.
Thomas Burke who is execu-
tive secretary of the Toledo In
dustrial Union Council and vice
mayor of Toledo totaled 1908
in Lucas County to Ramey' S
STATS votes.
In Ottawa County which help
ed to put Ramey in office in pre-
vious years, this election helped
place him on the EX-Congress-
men list by giving Democratic
Burke 5,961 and the incumbent
5,682 votes. This county was re-
garded as a Ramey stronghold
and in which enough votes could
be garnered to overcome his loss
in Lucas County.
Political experts more or less
expected Burke to carry Lucas
County due to the united stand
taken by Toledo labor unions
and their campaign to get out
the vote.
1t was a great victory for Ia
Dor and the first time in years
will have a representative from
the Ninth District endorsed and
elected by union men and women
and their friends.
On being notified of his Of
ficial election as Representative
from the Ninth District Mr..
Burke issued the following state
ment:
"It was with great deal of
qualification that listened to
the election returns, both ma
tional and local, during all of
election night. / could not help
but think that this election is
truly a triumph of the common
man and his family over the poll
takers and smart-cracking edit
orial writer's who attempted to
force their will on the people by
the sheer weight of an avalanche
of sophistry, pedantic wisecracks
and even invectives and reputa-
tion wrecking character assassin
alton. This election proves con-
clusively that the American peo-
pie are displeased and impatient
with initiation caused by the 8Oth
Congress opening the floodgates
to a deluge of greedy profit
grabbing. 1t also proves that the
American working man does dis
approve of the Taft-Hartley Act
regardless of what paid propa-
gandists have been attempting
to convince the American people.
"Mr. and Mrs. Homeless Vet
eran and just plain Mr.. and Mrs.
Homeless are disgusted with the
greed that has robbed them of a
chance for decent shelter. The
people have reacted definitely
and positively against Con-
gress controlled by special in
terest lobbies.
"To all my friends, both in
side and outside the Labor move
