Liberties Union
Urges End Of
Censorship Ban

New York City S).-Roger
N. Baldwin, director of the Amer
lean Civil Liberties Union, who re-
Gently returned from a 3-month
survey of civil liberties in the AL
lied zones Of occupation in Ger
many and Austria at the personal
invitation Of Gen. Lucius ID. Clay,
presented to the Departments of
State and the Army recently, re-
commendation to end the 4-power
censorship of all international
communications in Vienna and to
explore withdrawal Of all occupa-
tion troops from "a sovereign state
before a peace treaty is written" "
Baldwin told the State and Army
Departments that the Civil Liber-
ties Union is concerned with the
unhappy role of the United States
in participating in a sweeping and
indefensible censorship dictated by
Soviet interests" Pointing out that
Austria is the only country in the
world where the Soviet and west
ern powers exercise joint control,
the union urged steps to again
bring the censorship issue formal
ly before the 4-power Control Com
mission in Vienna.
"The original reason for this ex-
ceptional censorship in an official
ly liberated country, enjoying the
status of a sovereign state, was to
remove Nazi influence" Baldwin
said. "But it is now used largely to
serve the interests of one occupy
ing power alone-the Soviet. The
records show that 95% of the CEN
is on demand of the Soviet
representatives, and concerns main
ly criticism of the Soviets or coun-
tries allied to them"

Court Asked To Return
Tidelunds To IT, s. Govt

Washington (LPA) - The Tru-
man administration is fighting to
return the oil-rich tidelands to the
American people, to whom they be-
long.
An important round in this fight
began last week when Attorney
General Tom Clark filed suit in the
Supreme Court for federal juris-
diction over tidelands off the Texas
and Louisiana coasts. The Court
ruled in June, 1947 that the gov
ernment has first rights to the
California coastal lands, and Clark
is asking that they apply the same
reasoning to the Gulf coast.
The Tidelands battle has been
raging since 1916 when Truman
vetoed bill making the lands the
property of the states. In the 80th
Congress, the wealthy and power
ful oil lobby succeeded in pushing
a similar bill thru the House but
it died in tie Senate.
Millions of dollars a year are in
volved in the dispute. Millions will
go to the federal government in
taxes if the land is established as
federal land, or to the states if
they win it. The profit-happy oil
companies want the states to con-
troll this wealth, because the states
don't regulate them the way the
federal government does. The oil
lobby financed the Dixiecrats in
the recent elections, hoping they
would win enough Congressman to
insure control by the states.
Truman, on the other hand, cam
paigned under the banner of fed
eral control of the tidelands. La
Dor has long urged federal control
of these lands. The Int'l Associa-
ton of Machinists last month de-,
manded an investigation of the
tidelands lobby and the CIO pass
ed a resolution at its Portland con-
vention asking that the lands be
returned to the federal govern
ment.
Texas and Louisiana officials
nave announced they will fight the

FIGHT SALES TAX

Atlanta (LPA) - Labor unions
joined with druggists, ice dealers,
food dealers, jewelers., restaurant

a sales tax in the next session of

BALL COMMITTEE WANT
TIGHTER TAFT-HARTLEY

Washington UPA) - Ignoring
the November election results, the
Joint Labor Management Relations
Committee of the repudiated 80th
Congress prepared its final report
last week. AS was expected the
anti-labor committee approved a
set of amendments to the Taft
Hartley law designed to make it
even more harmful to organized
labor.
So biased was the Committees
report draft that Sen. Irving Ives
OR, N.Y., who voted for Taft Hart
ley, refused to sign the document.
Lashing out at his Republican col
leagues who approved the report,
Ives said:
81 feel very strongly that for
any political party to come out
with a labor-management program
that is purely party program is
a mistake. Pm not going along
with the report, partly because it
is a partisan report, and partly be-
cause | don't agree with some of
the things in it."
Only one of the eight House and
Senate members to participate in
the Committees final session was
a Democrat-an anti-union south
ner, Rep. G. A. Barden (NC). He
strung along with Republicans like
Sen. Robert A. Taft (Ohio), Rep.
Fred Hartley OR, ND and Clare
Hoffman Or, Mich) in endorsing
the Committee staff's proposals.
Among the reports suggestions
are:
/. Repeal of the union shop cleo
tions provision. Even the Taft
Hartleyites admit now that work
ers want union security, and agree
that the "u.a." elections are a
waste of public funds.
2. Require employers and work
ers representative alike to file
non-Communist affidavits, and ex-
tend the provision to include all
union negotiators and employer
spokesmen who take part in col
lective bargaining.
3. Permit anti-strike injunctions
in large scale industrial disputes
to be issued when a fact finding
board is appointed, rather than
when it publishes its findings, and
eliminate the requirement that
workers vote on the employers
Cast" offer. The latter provision,
the committee comedies, has prov
en- meaningless.
A. Exempt local business from
federal labor relations regulations.
5. Retain restrictions on union
administered welfare funds, and
give the Social Security Admins
tration supervision over them.
6. Tighten up THIS ban on mass
picketing by holding unions res
ponsible for wages lost by non
strikers thru inability to cross a
picket line.
Pro-labor Democratic members
of the Committee, now the minor
ity, but expected to be the maj
ority of the watchdog" commit
tee when the new Congress meets,
are preparing their own findings
on a year -and-a-half of Taft-Hart-
ley. They will demoIish the claims
of the laws supporters.
Ball, his head bloody but un-
bowed since his defeat by a pro-
labor candidate in the Senate race
in Minnesota, remarked doggedly;

Comment On
World Events

The House Committee on Un-
American Activities has been criti-
cized for many of it's procedures
and policies. Comment on World
Events believes that some of the
criticism has been justified, as for
instance on the score that the COM
mittee has not always respected
the rights of witnesses and that it
has been unduly eager to win
newspaper headlines. This column
believes, however, that the COM
mittee has done lot of good and
considers it has done an excellent
/ job in its recently issued compil-
alton of Communist and Communist
front organizations, part of 144-
page handbook.
| Especially good is a chart, pro-
posed as "sound test" of wheth-
er an organization follows the
! Communist party line. The test is
to aid persons to determine what
the "party line" is and has been
and to observe whether it is or has
been followed. This is the test:

tinction was made between fascist

There's been something different
about this September and I have
lust figured out what it is. For the
first time in years there hasn't been
all that big, boastful talk about
beautiful suntans. The trend THIS
summer was to go to Europe and
the people who went are returning
with that pale travel pallor rather
than beach-born bronze. What a
relief! Why any one was ever ex-
pected to sWoon with admiration
over some one elses suntan, has
always been an enigma, anyhow.

United States for a vacation are
American Minister to Ireland and

can hold its own any day among the
big steamers now af1oat.
This is George CARROTS first trip
home since he left for his f1rst
diplomatic post year ago last July.
Mrs. Garrett came home this past
June to draw up the blueprints for
the new house they're going to build
on their place in Marshall, Va, They
will both be so busy with plans Tor
the house and seeing their family
during the weeks they are here, that
there will be little time for parties.
AS a matter of fact, only handful
of friends know they're coming.

retts, are Fran and Burke Wilkinson.
They will leave here October l to

humor and highbred horses.
They were over that way in June
when Burke, who plays choice

ter-finals in mixed doubles at VIM
