A TRADE?

In case anyone is interested in how it happened that Senate Bill 38the measure that sets up political party organizations provides for their elections of delegates conventions etc. the measure that is called the "anti-White' B-happened to get onto the floor of the Senate and pass the Senate by vote of l2 to 4 this might be of interest
 letter from Senator Butler had just been re- ceived by Gov. Gruenng and certain other people m Juneau commenting the passage of Senate Bill 38.
 Senator Butler Republican leader of the minority group the Interior and Insular Possessions Com mittee that is sitting upon the confirmation of Gov Gruening for reappointment.
 Senate Bill 38 had been considered strictly Re- publican party measure. The Democrats it was said, didn't need the bill because their party was already set up in manner similar to that prescribed by the E. 38 This sudden Democratic support of the bill came after Senator Rivers request for 5-minute recess for party consutaton-on the third floor of the Federal Territorial Building according to gossip n the railways.
 Whether or not the passage of s. B. 3s will have any bearing on confirmation of Gov Gruening only time will tell His haste to get his Democrats in line to support the so-caled anti-White at time when his name is under consideration for confirmation is of interest.
 As far as Senator Buffers interest is concerned we feel sure that he was prompted by desire for peace in the Teritorys wrangling Republican ranks
 Maybe we are wrong, but it is guess that most of the Republicans would rather continue the partys status quo than trade passage of s. B. 38 for MT. Gruenings confirmation.
 In the meantime it looks like the governors move is designed to win friends and influence the right people. Possibly not trade. Say overture in the right direction.

SIGNIFICANT WAGE CUT

The cut in the wages of General Motors employees resulting from drop in living since October 15 is only ? cents an hour and the workers can look forward to more than offsetting 3cent increase at the end of May under the standard of living improve mentp clause in JAWS contract with GM The pres ent reduction follows 3-cent increase under the cost-of living formula last September based on pre- ceding rise in living costs. So on net balance the workers have gained lost by agreeing to quarterly adjustments of wages with reference to changes Tn living costs.
 Nevertheless the current reduction in wage rates is a significant development. Coupled as 1t IS Wlth declines in living costs it will strengthen opposition to fourth round wage increases during the next few months Extensive wage increases would probapiy entail further rises in price of industrial prooucs

The good Lord gave us two ends. One to think with and the other to sit on. Your success will greatly depend en which one you use the most. About two months ago, Dan and I went down to the small boat harhor tc de-frost the snow off our cruiser. Coming back we passed some fishermen locking at the small coats tied up along the float. They were expressing themselves in a language anyone could understand. One old rough and ready fellow pointed at deformed specie of a beat and said: Just look at that damn thing! Why in hell would anyone build a thing like that2o l wouldn't know It would be plain suicide to go out of the harbor in that" We took a look and decided he was right. Another fisherman spoke up and said: T do wish some enc would start in and build some SOOu DOdtS, dll0 ticNt dFoh able when we need them.'
 These remarks gave us some ideas. We went home, sat down on enc of our ends and started to plan with the other a crusade in boat building. We planned to build speed and row-boats up to thirty feet long. We sent out for data on the latest water proof glues and their uses. We asked for, and got, a lot of constructive criticism from boat owners. zzse|
 We are building boats from the best of material, nicely designed, sea-worthy and well finished. A boat that will not leak!
 Come in and see them under con- struction, and you will readily see what we mean when we say "Mor- ris Built"
 Yours for better boats.

WHY TRUMAN MELTED

The mistakes of the past cannot te remedied. But to prevent mls- takes in the future. it is important to look back and see why Presl- dent Trumans supposed great poll teal popularity melted away so rapidly. Here are some ol the reasons:
 Truman's Ccckiness-As a hum be, simple man, MT. Truman IS an appealing, popular figure. But hu- m.lity does not necessarily mean ab.lity. Also when the President $ humility changed to cockiness after November, he lost some of his pop ularity. This was particularly mo- ticeable to friends who called to help and advise, but went away re- bulfed and lectured to. MT. Tru- man was confident that he dld not need help, he was as highhandeo with some Senators as he was Ill censoring photos at Key West.
 No Long-Range Strategy-At the opening of Congress no plans were made as to what legislation should come first. A military commander carefully maps out his campaign before his troops go into battle. A sales manager carefully coordlnates his sales force and his advertising harrage. But on legislation vltally affecting the nation, the Truman Administration nonchalantly gallop- ed in, sabres brandished aloft, with net the foggiest idea of what bills should be passed first.
 Instead of getting. rent control housing, aid to education and other vital parts of the Truman program out of the way first, the Truman ties gallantly barred their breasts ano threw their weight against brlst- Ing concrete wall of Southern fill busterers.
 No Ciyil-Rights Compromise-In- side fact is that many Southern Senators were quite willing to com- promise on civil rights at the open ing of Congress when they thought Truman was all-powerful. Now they won't compromise because they know he's not.
 Tn January many Southern Sena. tors figured that two of the civil rights bills would not cause serious resentment in the South-the anti poll tax and anti-lynching bills About half the Southern states al ready have abolished the poll tax while many others have undertaken fortnight measures against lynch

 Nothing could be worse for MT Tfuman's program. And, while the politicians aren't worried about MT. Human, it is also a fact that from the viewpoint of national un- ity at a critical time in world affairs. and from the viewpoint of economic stability, nothing could be worse for the country.
 For when a nations legislators thumb their noses at the nation S president, it. does not give other nations confidence in signing pacts and treaties. Nor does It give them confidence that pact, once signed. will later be ratified, or its plov sions carried out.

ing. They were, however, emphatl- cally opposed to FEPC.
 But when Georgia's Senator Rus sell called cn Truman to talk com promise, he got nowhere. Truman wouldn't even discuss the South's greatest fear-intermarriage.
 No Teamwork FDR also had tough legislative battles. Some of his measures squeaked through with great difficulty. But Roosevelt had q team operating on Capitol Hill, l buttonholing doubtful Senators, ana tiuning thumbs down on postmast- erhips for Congressmen who de- serted the party.
 Truman also had a team oper- ating skillfully in the background when he was elected last autumn. But that team was nowhere to be found when it came to the ail- important job of winning votes on Capitol Hill. When George killlon, fo,mer treasurer of the Democratic National Committee, buttonholed senator Kerr of Oklahoma, Kerr psaid this was the first time any Administration leader had bothered to talk to him about the fllibuster
 When Dixiecrats re- turned to Congress after ther de- feat last fall, they soon discovered MT. Truman had no fixed policy toward them He was petty when it came to such little things as snubbing Governors Strom Thur mono. and Herman Talmadge in the Inaugural Parade. But on things that really counted, such at patron- age and pcstmasterships, they found they could get what they wanted. i The Administration had no fixed 1 policy. It floundered. So, fear in the hearts of the Dixiecrats evap- orated. They knew that they could continue to oppose Truman with impunity.
 i Senate Leadership-Acting as Senate majority leader is never easy especially for new man. Alben i Barkley had grown gray at the game. had come to be a great lead- CT. Now he is elevated to the ros- t,om. where leadership is more dif- i ficult. Replacing him has been sad-eyed, harassed Senator Scott Lucas of Illinois, who locks as if 1 the world rested heavily upon his shoulders. Of late 1t has. Whether through inexperience or because he had too much long distance di- rection from Key West, Lucas was 1 first too meek during the filibuster battle, then too tough, then almost l too glad to surrender
 Flcrida Sunshine-Before Truman left on his Key West holiday, close trends urged him net to take time off at such a crucial moment. He wouldn't listen. They even urged that, instead he take trip through the country, not for the purpose of scolding Congress, but to sample the temper of the peo- ole and get back some of his hu- mility. He ignored the advice, and scolded Congress instead
 Taft vs. Vandenberg-To those who watched the Senate vote on cloture to end filibusters, Senator Tafts prestige went way up, while senator Vandenbergs went down. Their difference was over the Bark ley reversal of Vandenberg's rul- ing last summer that there was a difference between a motion and a measure. Vandenberg, wanting
 to embarrass Truman and en- courage a Southern filibuster, had
 ruled last summer there was such | a difference.
 Barkley ruled there wasn't, and
 many fair-minded Republicans, in eluding Taft, supported him. How

ever, Vandenberg sonorously pom tificated before the. Senate in a speech that sounded like an argu- ment as to how many angels can stand on the point of needle. It was Vandenberg the politician, not Vandenberg the statesman, who talked. For in his heart he knew that the essence of democracy is majority rule after reasonable de- bate, not veto by a minority.
