Clark Opposes
Ou+Iawinq cP

WASHINGTON, Feb. II -
(LPA) - While advocating a
tightening of federal statutes
against subversive activity, At.
torney General Tom Clark told
the House Un-American Activj-
ties Committee last week that
the Communist Party could not
be outlawed or barred from the
ballot without jeopardizing the
constitutional guarantees of all
other political groups or parties. I"
He added that it would not
make sense to make martyrs" !"
out of Communists.
The Attorney General recon-.
mended, instead, that action be
taken to expose to the light of
public examination" the activities
of Communists and other SUBJ
versives.
Clark said that the Justice De-
partment is currently studying
the conStitutionality of a meas
ure introduced by Rep. Karl
Mundt (R. S. d. to require the
Communist Party and its front
organization to register as agents
of a foreign power.
Mundt asserted that his bill
would not deprive Communists
IF civil liberties, but would re.
quire them to state on their pro.
paganda that they are agents of a
foreign nation 'just as we de.

foods and drugs"

.PAC Head
Asks For
Big Vote

CLEVELAND, F e b. II
I IPA) - CIO members are
among the millions whose
failure to vote in 1916 re-
suited in the election Of the
lreactionary Both Congress, Jack
Kroll, director of CIO-PAC, told
the convention of the Industrial
Union of Maritime & Shipbuild-
ing Workers-CIO here this week.
Kroll, who is president of the
Ohio IUC, as well as PAC di-
rector and a vice-president of the
Amalgamated Clothing Workers,
warned the IUMSW delegates
that they will be shocked when
they learn how many of the
52,000,000 eligible people who
failed to vote in 1946 are fellow
unionists. Only 100000 out of
an eligible 90,000,O00 went to
the polls in the year the Taft
Hartley Congress was elected.
He revealed that fewer union
lists have registered to vote than
have others eligible in the
population as whole.
"We are opposed to the forma-
tion of third party at this time
because it can only result in a
division of our forces" Kroll
told the shipbuilders. He said
that those who cherish moral
victories" should "sit in the
Icorenre anr nurse them. We have
work to do"
Have Enough Votes
If CIO unions do a job of
registering their members, and
their members wives, Kroll
pointed out, they have enough
votes "to elect to federal, state
and city officers progressive
candidates who will work for
the welfare of the people who
elect them. Within the CIO there
are enough votes to replace
several times over those who
may be deluded into following
the political will o. the wisp into
the interstellar spaces of poll
tical impotency."
Answering the question of
why Taft-Hartley was passed,
the PAC leader said: ut was
passed because American trade
unions, under the protection of
the Wagner Act, were develop
ing the strength to secure for
their members fairer share of
our nations bounties. 1t was
passed because American trade
unions were organized only in
the. factories and not at the
ballot box"

Let's Think Biq

At tomorrow's school election,
the voters of this district by LACK
of vision can make q serious mis-
take.
We are too inclined to not re-
alize the size of the Hungry Horse
project that will bring $50, 600, 900
in payroIs and forever after in
crease the wealth of this immed-
late section. A great power dam
and reservoir for irrigation does
exactly that.
There's the question of S55, 900
schools at Coram and Martin City.
1t seems like a lot of money for
four-room frame buildings, but
the architect is Kirkemo who built
the high school in 1910 for $11O,
900. There's no question that he
proved himself.
Columbia Falls had a population
of 637 by federal census in 1880
and exactly the same figure by
the census of 1910. We don't
think it will ever go back to that
figure again, and we dislike the
stagnant reasoning that carries

That $4,000 represents all that

Exactly how Columbia Falls
