HOW TO SELL A cow

New York (LPA)-According to
Robert Fetridge, financial writer
for the NY Times, a Kansas City
auto dealer wanted to sell a 1910
Chevrolet. He took in payment one
cow, one motorcycle, and 100
shares Of a penny mining stock.
Then he tried to get rid of the COW
by offering her in a package" deal
with 1913 Buick, both for $500.
He sold the cow, but still has the
Buick on the lot. Says Fetridge,
Don't be surprised, despite all the
talk, if your automobile dealer
phones you one of these days and
gives you a pre-war sales talk.

Ask Democrats TO
Gust DiXiecYats

New York LPA)-The Dixie
Gratis don't belong in the Demo-
cratic caucuses in Congress, a
meeting Of the executive board of
Americans for Democratic Action
declared last week.
Removal of the southern rene
gades from the House and Senate
caucuses would automatically Gust
them from key committee posts,
the ADA board members explain
ed, adding that "this same discip-
line should be imposed on Wallace
Progressives in either House"
If the Democratic leadership per-
mits Dixiecrats who campaigned
openly or covertly against Presi-
dent Truman to keep positions of
power and prestige in the new
Congress-" said an ADA state
ment, "such action would, in ef-
feet, constitute a reputation of
the peoples election mandate and
a sharp blow to southerners who
Loyalty supported the Democratic
ticket"
Pledging themselves to fight for
the excellent principles on which
President Truman waged his cam
paign, the board pointed out that
if, "thru timidity or Indifference,
the liberal Democratic forces fail
to move swiftly and boldly to re-
form Congressional procedures and
insure the appointment of genuine
progressives to key legislative
posts, there is danger that the Pre-
sident's proposals may be doomed
even before the Chief Executive
takes his new oath of office"
National ADA Chairman Leon
rendered his resignation
at the meeting, explaining that he
will be out of the country a good
deal during the coming months and
will not be able to continue in the
job.
Labor representatives on the
ADA board include Emil Rieve,
Hugo Ernst, David Dubinsky and
Walter Reuther.

Want Committee
Policies Changed

Washington 0PA) = Wild e y
publicized espionage exposes by
the House American Activities
Committee have not changed the
feeling of most liberal Congress
men that the Committees proce-
dures must be brought into line
with basic democratic principles.
Two lines of attack on the pro
blem were proposed last week.
Reps. Walter Huber d., Ohio
and Emmanuel Celler 3D., NY) in
dicated that they are preparing to
replace the Un-American Activities
Committee with a special commit
tee on civil rights. Infringement
upon civil liberties, whether by
Communists, the. Ku Klux Klan, or
any other group should be spot
lighted by Congress, they main
tanned.
On the other hand, Rep. Chet
Holifeld d., CALI suggested that
the best policy might be to leave
the Committee in business, but
hand it a set of rules which would
protect the rights of persons ap-
pearing before it.
Key to Holifeld's bill of rights
would be perpission to persons at
tackled by committee witnesses to
be represented by counsel, present
in their own behalf,
and cross-examine their accusers.
recommendations were
generally agreed to by a special
committee Of the conservative NY
Bar Association. Committee sup
porters are expected, however, to
demand an unqualified vote of con-
fidence when Congress meets.

Communication Workers
Sound Out AFL And CIO

! Washington (LPA)-To find out
what their status would be if the
membership decided to apply fol
affiliation to either AFL or CIO
Communications Workers Of Am
erica this week set up a five-mem-
Der fact-fnding committee.
At CWA's convention last sum-
mer, delegates instructed President
Joseph Meirne to appoint com
mittee to Investigate the status
CWA would have in case of affili-
alton to either federation, and to
report to the executive board. The
board is to study the findings and
report them and a recommendation
to the 100000 members of the un-
ion in the form of a referendum.
The executive board will meet
Jan. % to 20, and the fact-fnders
between now and then are expected
to confer with AFL President
William Green and CIO President
Philip Murray. CWA, which is the
largest union of telephone and re-
lated workers in the country, was
formed two years ago out of a
loose federation of local phone un-
ions, the Natl Federation of Tele-
phone Workers.
Both AFL and CIO have unions
which already claim jurisdiction
over phone workers-the Int'l Bro
therhood of Electrical Workers
AFL and the Telephone Workers
Organizing Committee of the CIO.

CIO Protests
ForreSfoI Move

Washington LPA) The CIO
Maritime Committee last week
protested to Defense Secretary
Forrestal against his proposal to
transfer 269 civilian-operated
Army transports to the Navy.
The CIO committees secretary,
Hoyt Haddock, pointed out that
during the war civilian crews Of
43 merchant seamen handled Lib
erty ships, which under regular
Navy operation were assigned
crews of 1S7. He estimated that
costs Of operation per vessel would
increase by 709o if the civilian
Army ships are turned over to the
Navy now.
Haddock also reminded Forrestal
that his plans would disrupt ex-
tremely effective methods Of joint
operations worked out between the
Army and civilian ship operators
during the war. The merger would
also hurt civilian shipping firms,
he declared, and by displacing
merchant seamen would reduce our
reserve of defense skills.
The spokesman also demanded
public apology to our seamenN for
an article recently published in
US Naval Institute proceedings
which charges "lack of discipline"
on merchant ships during the war.

UNION HEADS SEE TOBIN
ON REPEAL OF TIL LAW

Washington (LPA)-Leaders of
both the AFL and CIO this week
told Labor Secretary Maurice
Tobin that American labor expects
the new Congress to rapidly repeal
the Taft Hartley law, and reenact
the Wagner labor relations act.
None of the conference partici-
pants were willing to discuss de-
tails Of their hour-and-a-half con-
ferences with President Truman's
labor advisor. IT. is believed that
the leaders of both federations en-
phasized the unanimous resolutions
Of the AFL and CIO conventions
that Taft Hartley must be repeal
ed, and the Wagner act restored,
before consideration is given to any
new items of labor legislation.
First group to see Tobin was the
CIO delegation-Secretary Treas
urer James B. Carey, David Mac
Donald, secretary-treasurer of the
, United Steelworkers of America
and General Counsel Arthur Gold
berg.
The following day the AFL dele
cation met with Tobin. 1t was led
by President William Green, and
included Secretary Treasurer Geo
rye Meany and AFL Vice Presi-
dents George Harrison, Daniel
Tracy, and Charles MacGowan.
A. E. Lyons, executive secretary
of the Railway Labor Executive
Assn and Executive Vice President
All Hayes Of the Int'l Association
of Machinists are also conferring
with Tobin this week. Labor Dept
sources deny the rumor that Tobin
wishes to exclude President John
L. Lewis of the United Mine Work
ers from the series of meetings. An
Invitation was sent to UNIV head
quarters.
President Albert j. Fitzgerald
of the United Electrical Workers,
also called on Tobin last week, but,
he said, his visit was purely social.
The union chiefs insistence that
the Wagner act replace Taft Hart
ley as the nations basic labor re-
lations statute before any new pro-
visions are considered, is not in
terpreted by administration offc-
ials to mean that labor will oppose
all suggested additions to the Wag-
ner act. 1t indicates rather, be-
lief that reasonable amendments
are more likely to be worked out
after the Wagner act is firmly re-
stored, and not tackled on to the
repeal of Hartley as a con-
cession to anti-union congressman.
Among the proposed amend
ments which many union spokes-
men are believed willing to help
put into workable form are: pro-
cedures for handling jurisdictional
disputes, some form of deterrent
which would not involve anti-strike
injunctions-to so-called national
emergency strikes, and a modified
ban on secondary boycotts.
Labor Dept lawyers are at work
on specific proposals to deal with
these and other problems. Their
drafts will be available to con-
gressional committees. The Depart
ment does not, however, plan to
hand Congress a complete bill with
which to replace Taft Hartley. The
position of President Truman and
Secretary Tobin seems to be that
the Democratic platform pledge of
Taft Hartley repeal must be hon
ored, but that the details of legis-
lation are up to Congress.

NMU Wins SIG In
Raises This Year

New York (LPA)-Members of
Natl Maritime Union voted over
whelmingly this week to accept a
$3.50 a month wage boost for all
seamen, bringing their total raises
for the year to SIC month.
Atlantic & Gulf Coast ship oper-
ators granted the pay hikes under
a wage reopening clause in the
NMU contract. The sailors won
the first $3.50 when they signed
the contract last August. The new
boost brings their wages up to
those of west coast seamen, who
recently ended a long strike
NMU President Joseph Curran
pointed out that before the strike,
the west coast maritime workers
were getting as much as those in
the east.
In addition to the $3.50 basic
hike, the NMUers have won in
creased hourly rates for overtime.

Ana tne seasons OfeetlngS u
you.>
Up and down the land, over anC
across and back again, we shall
hear that friendly greeting.
Mostly it will come from friend
lily persons, but now and then il
will slip past the lips Of some char
acter who would stick blade un-
der your fifth rib, did a gooo
chance but offer.
So be it. Merry Christmas and q
Happy New Year!
1t may be and for most it will be
a merry Christmas, but as for the
happy new year, we can but hope
We may get through the year ir
peace and if that is the case we
can be quite happy about the whole
thing.
Anyhow, nobody can stop us
from wishing and so we shall pass
along the happy salutation.
For few days let us not get too
worried about Berlin and Korea
and China and the Dutch East
Indies and several other places.
But let US not quite forget about
them.
We need to remeber that Japan
landed upon US at Pearl Harbor
while her ENJOYS were in Washing
ton on an alleged mission of peace
ful adjustment.
1t was just like saying Merry
Christmas-and here's poison in
your tea!
Japan had no moral scruples.
Neither has Russia. The end justi-
fies the means.
The titanic conflict goes on, new
year or no new year. Why this is
so is one of the mysteries of the
ages.
Communism has nothing demon
strable to offer-nothing but de-
gradation, slavery and fear.
But the conflict goes on, to de-
termine finally whether freedom or
dictatorship shall rule over the
peoples of the world.
The new year seems destined to
see some exceedingly important
in that conflict.
\ :. ;.
So, my friends, the Seasons
Greetings to you and to yours and
may the New Year be a Happy
New Year.
Folks often are happy even in
the midst of disaster. There are
laughs even in the midst of war.
Laugh clown, taught"
But there is something to be said
at this seasonal this turn of the
calendar.
We see about us the gravest of
threats to our peace and our well
fare. And we know that even if
there is no war of vioelnce, there
is a war with other weapons and
never for a moment does it cease.
So, the something to be said is
this: We must maintain our faith
in democracy.
We must keep our love of liber-
" aflame.
We must maintain our passion
for justice.
We also must keep our heads
and our courage.
!. X :.
Also we must keep at the busi-
ness of improving our own inter-
lal order. In this respect we have
20 far out-stripped Russia that
here is no comparison. But we
must do better.
Many evils remain to be remed-
ed. Thousands of times we have
hown that we know how to remedy |
vii, when we make up our minds.
Let us keep at that job.
Perhaps one of the cruelest of
wills goes by the name of bigotry.
Even that seems growing weak
r.
AS long as we recognize the
wills and count them as things to
e set right, we need not fear for
ur internal order.
Therefore, let us now become
Let us be forever about the busi-
ess of building "a better nation,
nth a better understanding of the
neaning of freedom and more
early adequate guarantee of the
estowal of its fruits upon our
eople throughout the land.
Salutations to you, my friends,
nd the Seasons Greetings.
