quently even my in-laws are glad
to see me.
II hav! kept up with my old
friends and cultivated agreeable
new acquaintance. 7 belong to
clubs and take an active interest in
all sorts of movements, and so
I have no lack of companionship,

Also bear in mind that when
we are old we are not personally
attractive as we were when we
were young and beautiful and
gay, so we have to throw in some
thing besides ourselves to make
people seek our society. Hence I

gardly about food and drink.

the luxury of acquiring ways that
have to be catered to. Nor have
I let myself annex any set preju-
dices that every one has to gum
shoe around. I can change my
mind as easily as I can my hat,
and devote a lot more attention
to keeping my opinions flexible
than I do to keeping my knees
supple.
II have also suppressed in my
self the besetting vice Of age which
is the egotism that makes one

astrous experiment Of having
them live together. Separation
is the solvent of the in-law prob
lem. In the case Of nother-in-
law and daughter -in-law an ounce

or the lonely old souls who fasten
themselves, like the old woman OF

bles as I possibly can.
"To begin with. I have main
tanned my own independence and
individuality, which not only in
sures the respect of every one, in

would impose on the employees, presumably
loss of pay for the time not worked.
In this situation, the employer success
fully appealed to the State of Wisconsin,
which has a law forbidding concerted
efforts to interfere with production except
by leaving the premises in an orderly
manner for the purpose of going on strike.
The controlling question before the
Supreme Court was whether Congress had
intended to authorize or sanction this type
of union activity. A majority of five of
the Justices found that Congress had no
such intention, and therefore the right of
Wisconsin to regulate the activity was
affirmed.
The four Observation-Disclosures Douglas,
Murphy, Black and Rutledge-contended
in two opinions that the Wisconsin law
was in conflict with one or more sections
of the Wagner Act which were undisturbed
by the Taft-Hartley Act. 1t is difficult,
however, in reading the majority and
minority views, to avoid the conclusion
that the former is the more reasonable
and certainly the more equitable one:

Another Bottle Won

The breaking of left-wing control OF the

local spokesman for the ,CIO-marks an
other victory in the CIO campaign against
Communists and those who follow the
Communist line in union activities.
For twelve years the Council has been
dominated by such left-wing unions as
the United Public Workers of America.
And their control became tighter as more
and more right-wing locals dropped out
Last fall, however, the Washington News
paper Guild, one of the largest C1O unions
in Washington, voted to reaf11liate with
the Council. The avowed purpose was to
regain control.
Now this has been accomplished. With

Atomic Museum

The decision to establish at Oak Ridge,
Tennessee, the worlds first atomic energy
museum is in line with the commendable
determination of the Atomic Energy Com
mission to keep the public well informed
on nuclear matters The commission
rightly believes that better-informed
public will be able to comprehend more
fully the grave problems which the coun-
try must face in the development and
control of atomic power. This Increased
understanding of the problems should
make it easier to find solutions for them.
The American Museum of Atomic Energy
will be sponsored by the Oak Ridge
Institute of Nuclear Studies, which Is
an officially sanctioned educational project
conducted by nineteen Southern unlver-
sities Opening of the museum will coin
eide with the opening to the public OF the
war-born town of Oak Ridge, key produc-
ton center of the atomic bomb. Up to
now the institute has devoted itself to
highly specialized technical studies in
university laboratories and clasSrooms. BY
launching the museum project 1t Will
extend It's educational program to the
average man and woman, who, though
only vaguely aware of the extent OF
nuclear researches and the meaning OF
nuclear terms, will be vitally affected by
the results of those studies.
The museum will be built around the
"Man and the Atom" exhibit which at
tracted so much attention last year at
New York City's golden jubilee exposition
It will endeavor-on a larger scale than
did the Manhattan exhibit-to show that
man still has the upper hand over the
atom and that he can use its terrible
power for good as well as evil. Once man
kind in general can be made to recognize
the awful consequences of any misuse OF
this power, the sooner is 1T likely that the
world will reach unanimous agreement ON
a system of guarantees to end the threat
of atomic annihilation

One Theory of Depression

One Theory of Depression
To the Editor Of The Star:
In Mondays issue of The Star, William
Isllnger of New York writes of some mis-
takes that led to the depression of 1929.
He AYERS or implies that the principal cause
was largely the failure Of industry to pass
its improvements Qabor saving devices) on
to the consumer" A surprising statement!
Labor saving machinery had nothing,
whatsoever, to do with producing said de-
preston, unless one may call the Federal
Reserve Banking System a machine; for it
is in the intricate workings of that institu-
ton that one must look to find the answer
to the cause of the 1929 panic and depres-
sion.
That economic monstrosity was not a
thing that our industrial system produced
the system was on the receiving end of the
proposition.
The records show that on May 18, 1920,
an action was taken that extinguished ten
billions of the money in the channels of
trade. In 1927 and 1929 action was taken
that extinguished ten billions more. Normal
business cannot stand up under such drastic
blood letting.
No. the cause of such devastations Of
business cannot be laid to machinery, high
wages or low wages or strikes. The cause
must be looked for where it actually orig
mated: Among those who manipulate the
volume Of money in circulation.

Curbinq an Abuse

The Supreme Court has affirmed the
right of State to prevent union from
harassing an employer through the device
of calling special union meetings during
working hours.
This case arose in Wisconsin where
union representing the employees of Briggs
g. stratton Corporation called twenty six
of these surprise meetings in less than
five months During this period the en-
ployer was not informed of any specific
demands which these stoppages were
designed to enforce nor of any concessions
it could make to avoid them.
The union leaders publicly stated that
this was a new technique for bringing
pressure upon the employer. It was better
than strike, they said, because the en-
ployer was constantly taken by surprise
when the stoppages occurred, and could
not safely make production plans. Further
more, 1t was pointed out that this tech
nique avoided hardships that strike

Mixed Use of School Buildings

Last November Chairman Harry s..
Wender told the Recreation Board very
frankly that apparently we have made
a mistake in not permitting the use OF
colored schools for mixed meetings" HIS
statement followed a report to the board
from Recreation Superintendent Chris
tiansen that permission for two such meet
ings at the colored Garnett-Patterson
Junior High School had been denied IN
accordance with board policy.
The Star believes with Mr.. Wender that
q mistake has been made, not only Win
regard to use of the colored schools but OF
white schools as we'll and that the sooner
it is corrected the better. The need for
Qualification and generous liberalization OF
present policy has become more evident
by reason of the action of the Board OF
Education on Wednesday. The board
reversed a ruling by the Recreation Board
which had denied use of the Garnett-Pat-
terson school for a racially mixed meeting
of a teachers union. It is absurd to nave
two boards following contradictory poll
cies. especially when the Recreation
Boards policy has been based largely on
its previous understanding of Board OF
Education policy-an understanding which
the Board of Education itself clarified last
fall.
The confusion has not been altogether
of the Recreation Boards own making.
That board has been dealing not only
with an inherited condition, but one
which is changing as community points OF
view are changing. Furthermore, it is a
condition which varies sharply with the
attitudes and customs of people in differ
ent parts of the city, so that arbitrary,
precipitate action sometimes produces
more harm than good in what should be
4 common effort to improve good feeling
between the races and remove unfair and
undesirable handicaps imposed by race.
But regardless of the involved back
ground, this would be good time for the
Recreation Board to amend regulation
which cannot be defended in fairness or
logic. The Star believes that public senti-
ment will approve sensible liberalization
of the Recreation Boards rules on use OF
school buildings.

Delivering the Goods

Chairman Thomas has been able to
bring out of his Labor Committee an un-
amended labor bill that upholds the Presi-
dents campaign promises.
He chose dubious method of doing It..
He had the votes to sustain ruling tnat
amendment of the bill was out OF order.
So after month of testimony, we nave
the spectacle of Senate committee killing
off amendment of the measure under con-
sideration by denying to its members the
right to vote on amendments.
The maneuver is rarely if ever invoked
in Senate committee consideration. 1t vlo-
Iates what one would have thought to be
tradition of some standing in the Senate,
for it contradicts principles that are basic
in the legislative process. Any advantages
that Senator Thomas may have sought by
this tactic may be outWeighed by the re-
sentiment that it will create, not only IN
the Senate but among the people OF this
country. 1t was cheap and brazen politics.
The high-handed method chosen was
not the sort of thing that one willingly
associates with Senator Thomas. He EVIL
IDENTIFY had his reasons. But the bill that
comes before the Senate, where 1t will be
rewritten in detail, is sort of counterfeit
that one hates to see presented in that
chamber on matter so closely affecting
the welfare of all the people.
Coming in as it does 1t will add sunstan-
tial force to the opponents OF the cloture
proposal that has kept the Senate In windy
debate for the past week. 1t suggests pre-
cisely the same sort Of ruthless steam
rollering that is feared by sincere oppo-
nents of cloture Taken in the same dose
with the Presidents press conference OBJ
servation in support of cloture by MA
jority vote, more than one Senator is
going to gag.
