THE BELL TOLLS
By Leonard H. Bell

The glaringiy pr~eposterous spec
tacle O fthe southern filibuster
going on in the august senate OF
the United States in their success
full effort to thwart justice, lib
erty and the preservation of hui
man dignity is not only a blue
ribbon indictment of the total lack
of discipline prevailing in the two
old parties and in bith houses of
Congress, but is also positive proof
of the rapid disintegration of a
glorious republic that once bid
fair to being a complete democ-
racy.
At a time when Rome burns"
and the nation is being rapidly
consumed in the flames of infla-
ton, selfish interest control, the
rising tides of racial hatred and
prejudices and a serious lack of
housing, the peoples mis-represen-
tatives make a mockery of democ-
racy, legislative assembly and jus
tice.
Both parties are equally guilty
of perpetrating this farce. The
Democrats, by calling such a SEES
sion when they knew they had no
discipline either in their party or
in Congress, and the Republicans,
who in their greed for southern
votes and in their sordid desire
to see a complete breakup of
the Democratic party, are court
ing and conspiring with the south
ern DiXiecrats to create the pres
ent Comedy of Errors"
But election time is rapidly
coming too and people today have
elephantine memories and just as
the communist hysteria precipi-
tated several months ago by Mr..
Truman, today promises to con-
sumo both him and his admins
tration, SO to will this present
fiasco boomerang on both old
parties.

weak, or BIG ala. He fights to
get Tor all the gen, treatment he
believes they deserve from Uncle Sam.
Way back i'll 1885, Senator Murray's
earnest efforts help restore pensions for
the veterans OF our war with Spain.
Many years later. he helped increase
those pensions.
For the men who fought the First
World War, he helped obtain payment
OF their adjusted service certificates"
when they needed the money in the de-
preston l9S0's. He also aided them in
getting a chance to renew their low-cost
"tive-year-term' government lie insur-
ance policies.
When the Second World War came
along" Montana Jim" had his first op-
p%ortunity to lceislatc for the bcneii, OF
soldiers and sailors before they became
veterans. He made the most OF it.
As a member Of the Senate military
affairs committee during the war years.
Murray played a big part in putting
over every bill which our fighting men
remember with gratitude.
One was the family allowance act
~
under which Uncle Sam made monthly
payments to the wives and other de-
pendents OF army and navy enlisted
men. Another VA the soldiers and
sailors relief act, which protected men
in uniform and their families against
such things as foreclosures" on home
mortgages and installment contracts.
The mastering out payment act paid
enlisted men and l~ow-ranking officers
up TO $500 when they were discharged
from service. Murray was for that. and
for all the legislation designed 10 si.c
men on the fighting front a right and
chance TO vote in elections at home.
sen. Jim" was one of the original
sponsors OF the "G. /. Bill Of Rights
and he has worked and voted for every
amendment liberalizing the educational.
lob training and other benefits under
that major legislation for Second World
War veterans.
Murray voted Tor the veterans emer-
gency housing act Of 1916, and helped
ward off three Republican-sponsorcd
amendments which would have put
home-seeking veterans and their iami-
lies at the mercy Of grasping real estate
and loan sharks.
He had a hand in passage OF the bills
providing terminal leave pay for en-
listed men. thus ending the unjust stu
alton under which only officers got
such pay.
One OF Murray's most recent votes
was for the bill providing specially de-
signed and built housing for veterans
who are paralyzed as a result Of the
war.
It would be hard to find a better rec
ord than that, from the veterans view
point, in either the Senate or House.
Yet Murray claims no special credit. He
did only what he thought was right.
and what he believed the American peo-
pie wanted to do for the men who
fought their country's battles.

Ais Fair in Love, War

Anything is fair in love. war-and politics.
Let's not forget it. Politics is a slick game with
its own peculiar code of ethics.
Generally. a big time politician doesn lie. But.
sometimes he stretches the truth to the point of
confusing people. And, sometimes, that what
he is trying to do. His job is to convince as many
folks as possible that he is the man who will take
care Of their particular problems if he gets the job.
So. the politician makes his statements broad
enough to please almost everybody and vague
enough so that no one can be offended.
Take the matter of the Taft Hartley act. That
seems like a clear-cut issue. But in this campaign,
the politicians are doing their best to confuse us
about the Taft Hartley act.
The Republican leaders, who accepted respon-
sibility for the passage of the Taft-Hartlcy law
over President Truman's veto, are now announc-
ing that they would favor certain" amendments.
especially where such amendments prove neces-
sary to the democratic processes of collective bar
gaining"
Sound good? It's supposed to sound good.
But what does it mean? Does it means that if
elected. these Republican supporters Of the Taft
Hartley act will try to repeal some of the most
harmful sections of that law? 1t does not.
