Labor Organizations Join With
Educators in Opposition to UNIT

$4,000, 900, 900, the estimated annual
cost of UNIT could be spent annually
by the United States Government to
more useful purposes.
Could Do These Things.
Based on information obtained
from the National Education AS
ISOLATION, the chart asserts that with
$4,000, ,O00,00 the Government could
do the following things each year:
Construct one 10-room, modern
school building in every county in
the United States. Construct $50,-
900 library in every county. Con-
struct a $15o,0oo hospital in every
county.
Employ 10 doctors and 10 nurses
full time for schools and public
health services in every county.
Purchase 10 modern new school
buses In every county. Maintain
one psychiatric clinic in every
county. Provide 10 full-time recrea-
ton workers in every county.
Bring all schools Of the country
up to a reasonable standard of eff
ficiency. Provide free education for
5000, 900 children under 18 not now
in school. Pay all expenses of a
3-year postgraduate course for TO-
900 students each year. Erect $780,
600 trade and technical school in
each congressional district.
Pay one years expenses of 900, 900
boys at college or technical school.
And, says the chart, the Govern
ment would have $15,30O,000 left
over the first year. In subsequent
years, 1t adds, as the counties caught
up with their needs in buildings,
buses, ct .cetera, not more than
$4,000, 100000 a year would be re-

blue yonder half an hour after they
were desperately summoned to climb

schedules forward one-half hour.
That will get every one airborns
nearly on time.
Further, pilots seem to be the only
people who know where planes are.
Ask an airline worker where Flight
653 Is and when it Is due to arrive,
and he looks at you just as If you
had asked him where Moses was
when the lights went out. Appar-
emily all ground officials know Is
that when plane lands it Is in. T
suggest that airlines read I'D on
the not-too-modern inventions of
Samuel F. B. Morse and Alexander
Graham Bell.
It's fun to fly, and love it. But
sitting in an airport without in
formation has yet to be listed as a
pleasure. As for riding on bicycle
handlebars-well, it's according to
how you're built.

extent. 'nf' "'Ae"ofs'
The upper berth, for example, is
little changed from the upper berth
of the time OF Rutherford B. Hayes.
To be able to get in it qualities a
man for the final Olympic tryouts,
and getting out qualities him for
his family plot. Why 1t has never
occurred to railroad people that
users of upper berths get thirsty
during the night and would like to
be ables to get a drink OF water
without infringing on the antics OF
the Alpine chamois, is still a mys-
terry to me.
Could Use Garden Hose.
I am sure that millions Of us
whose throats have become parched
during a night in an upper berth
would welcome even such a crude
watering device as a garden hose
with the nozzle off that could be
passed from bunk to bunk, letting
the germs fall where they may.
Also, railroad tickets are too small.
A railroad ticket is the one thing
that can be lost by a nudist. The
wear and tear on vests, coats, pants
pockets and purses while passen-
gers seek that internal little bit of
pasteboard is incalculable. Also in
calculable is the time lost by har-
ried conductors as they stand watt
ing for passengers to give them
selves a frisk that would do justice
to an FBI agent. Railroad tickets
should be roughly the size of a bed
sheet and equipped with small tin
king bells. Then there would be
no losing them.
Railroads now have another men

While there has been no wild
cheering or throwing Of hats in the
air over the proposed draft, con-
versations with the Congress men,
bers reveal greater willingness to
work out some kind of a temporary
measure-with the word temporary
always emphasized-than to agree
to a policy Of universal training.
There Is fear, for one thing, that
this might mean fastening the sys-
tenn on the country permanently.
There is the belief, for another,
that, If the Nations military man
power must be replenished, the
draft offers the quicker method.
Could Avoid Conflict.
And then there is the possibility
of avoiding conflict with the large
body of hostile opinion that has
been built up during the past year
against universal training. The
President asked for both programs,
but there is a shrewd suspicion in
Congress that he and his advisers
would be happy to settle for the
draft. The members believe he Is
aware that their Indifference thus
far to his pleas for universal train
ing has not been costing them votes.
While many men and women of
prominence and many organizations
have Endorsed universal training,
greater favor on the subject has
been shown by the opposition. Most
of the public pronouncements have
come from educators and educa-
tional organizations, but greater
direct appeal to voters probably is
being made by labor organizations.
The current issue OF Advance, a
weekly that goes to all members of
the Amalgamated Clothing Workers
Union, sums up the labor argument
against universal training in an
editorial with these five subheads:
81. Universal military training will
not prevent war 2. Even in the
event of the outbreak of war, uni
versal military training will not pro-
tect us. 3. Universal military train
ing means another big step to-
wards military-and-big ig-business-
controlled-fascist state. 4. UNIT
represents colossal waste of money
and labor. 5. Defeat of compulsory
military training does not mean
the United States will be militarily
weak"
Buttressing the editorial is a chart
prepared by the CIO economics de-
partment and widely used by publ
cations of CIO affiliated unions. The
chart undertakes to show how

enjoy the benefits OF the Marshall
Plan.
The loss Of Istria and Trieste was
a greater blow to the italian people
whether Communist sympathiz-
ers or not-than any other penalties
imposed on them by the victorious
powers.
Palmiro Togliatti, chief Of the
Communist Party, and all the Mos
COW and Belgrade agents who have
swarmed through Italy for the last
IL months thought until last Satur-
day that they had the April 1S elec-
ton in the bag.
Tempting Promises Made.
Premier Alcide de Gasperi and the
leaders Of the non-C Communist
parties also thought the Reds would
win, seeing no way to prevent

informer for Mussolini who now
heads Leftist group closely affih-
ated with the Communication
obtaining such a large slice of the
popular vote as to compel their in
clusion in the next government
That would mean curtains for free
and democratic Italy.
Besides spending vast sums and
adopting terrorist methods in order
to get votes. the Communists also
made tempting promises. They an
nounced that 1taly's African colo
nies would be returned to her with
the aid Of the USSR and further
promised the italian farmers vast
land grants without payment. They
pledged thorough naturalization Of
industry and the establishment OF
an industrial system similar to that
existing in Russia and the satellite
states.
Many italian people, particularly
in the North, were somewhat skep.

pdIlUS were SlleIlU Doris 1icesons
but the fact is that Illinois Demo-
Gratis have asked Mr.. Arvey to

ought not to renominate him.
Mr.. Arvey, a World War II
Marine, departed Immediately after
lunch for Philadelphia to visit a
comrade with whom he saw action
in the Pacific. But next on his
calendar is a call on New York
State Democratic Chairman Fitz-
patrick in New York City.
Illinois Democrats have been res
tive for some time about the drop
in the Presidents political stock
Their feeling was the more keen
because otherwise their prospects in
that pivotal State are rosy.
Last Saturday their dissatisfaction
jelled when party workers gathered
at a $25-a-plate lunch to raise
funds and talk things over. The
attendance was wonderful, Senator
Barkley keynoted successfully, mo-

This Changing World
Full Effect of Trieste Issue Proposal
On Italian Election Yet to Be Judged

tical of the blessings of sovietization,
but they were worried about the
Communists strong military force
inside and outside Of Italy. They
could feel the hot breath Of Tog-
iatti's partisans and Tito's legions
while they had no hope that Amer
lea would ever do more than make
vague political announcements and
dip generously into its taxpayers
pockets for rehabilitation supplies.
Such economic aid is, of course, well
come, but could not stop the Com
munists' militant actions.
President Truman's statement be-
fore Congress last Wednesday gave
some indication that America pos
sibly understands the danger of
Russia spreading westward. But
this statement contained nothing
tangible as far as Italy was con-
cerned and was described imme-
diately as "just another speech" by
the Communist propagandists.
Balm ON Deep Wound.
Ambassador James c. Dunn re-
ported from Rome that the effect
was only superficial and would not
alter materially the trend of the
elections. But when America and
her western friends spoke about a
thing as tangible as the return of
Trieste we were talking about some
thing far more concrete than the
Communists ever thought of doing.
We were pouring soothing balm on
deep wound which exists in the
heart of every Italian, except the
handful of convinced Communists
and devoted servants of the Polit-
buro.
Moreover. the politically minded
Italians realize that the United
States now is determined to face up
to Russia and brave its wrath. They
believe the return of Trieste may
have to be backed by force and
are under the impression that Amer
lea is ready to meet the Moscow
challenge in the Mediterranean and
in the Adriatic.
This will mean that Italy no
longer will be at the mercy of Togli-
attis "goons" and Tito's legions,
which are concentrated on the
Yugoslav-Italian border.
President Truman's address to
Congress last Wednesday asking for
immediate srevival of selective serv-
ice is interpreted by rank and file
Italians as an indication that Amer
lea regards Italy as line to be held
against any transgression by the
Russian government.
All this, according to reports from
Rome and other important Italian
cities, will find its result in a reduc-
ton Of the number who will vote
| the Communist ticket on April 18.

Rebels in Illinois
Chicago Democratic Chiefs Believe
Party Is Stronger Than President

would offer a wooden nickel for the
Presidents chances.
Illinois has an exceptionally
strong Democratic slate this year.
The candidate for Governor, Adlai
Stevenson, an international lawyer,
has proved an Unexpectedly adroit
campaigner. Prof. Paul Douglas, a
Marine wounded on Okinawa, adds
veteran support to labor, liberals
and Democrats for a real challenge
to Senator Brooks.
These candidates, party workers
said, were 25G000 votes stronger
than the President in Illinois. Their
principal complaint against Mr..
Truman was his lack of know-how,
which was giving the Wallace third
party its chance. Each had his in
dividual. squawk-the detours of
U. NJ, the reversal on Palestine, the
exclusively personal appointments
but the complaint Of ineptitude was
universal.
Then talk shifted to possible sub
stitutes; favorable mention went to
Gen. Eisenhower, Associate Justice
Douglas of the Supreme Court, Sen
ator Lucas, Senator Barkley and
Chief Justice Vinson.
The opinion was expressed that
the Republican Congress would daily
about the world situation and so
help the Democrats; that they were
SO sure of victory they might nom
mate a weak candidate whom the
Democrats could beat even yet
without Mr.. Truman.
Orthodox political thinking still is
that the party cannot afford to re-
pudiate the President, who now
openly seeks denomination. Some
suggest that the VIGOROUSLY stub
born Missourian will fight to the
end, insuring bitter convention
and eventual defeat for the party.
But the -Trumanites have the
bit in their teeth-and the South is
egging them on.
