A Losing Bottle

lue dtIcIupC 10 EaIlIudQ the aOHlllliStId a
tons labor bill through the House is
merely another confirmation of the OBJ
vious fact that any pew labor legislation
which emerges from this session of Con-
gress will be written on the floor of the
Senate
Chairman Lesinski Of the House Labor
Committee has asked for a closed rule for
his bill If he gets it that will mean that
the bill cannot be amended on the House
floor, but will have to be accepted or re-
jected as is
This request taken with the refusal to
permit debate on the bill in the full COM
mittee, leads to the inference that Mr.
Lesinsk knows the bill is no good. Pre-
surnably he is afraid to open it to amend
ment for fear that the House would adopt
amendments retaining the essentials of the
Taft-Hartley law. So he asks for gag
rule, and accepts the risk that this might
mean outright defeat of his measure.
Taken all in ALL both in House and Sen
ate committee, the administrations per-
formance on labor legislation has been a
sorry one. Perhaps the leaders are not too
much to blame, for their position has been
difficult 1t is one thing for a candidate
in a campaign speech to denounce the
aft-Hartley Act as a slave-labor law. 1t is
quite another thing to support this charge
when 1t becomes necessary to produce the
facts and meet the test of rebuttal. And
as the administration moves from one
strong-arm device to another, it becomes
clearer and clearer that the facts are on
the side Of the opposition.

To the Editor OF The Star:
During the past II consecutive months.
Mrs. Alice P. Snowden. wife of a veteran
United States Army colonel. mother Of two
distinguished sons, and herself member Of
the Gray Lady unit at Boston. has been
barred from transferring her Boston Gray
Lady afiliation to the unit which serves
under the local chapter Of the American Red
Cross.
The unselfish and patriotic contributions
to sick and injured soldiers by this gracious
woman-at Camp Lee. where Col. Snow
den was assigned during the war. and In Bos-
ton hospitals since vi day-have gained her
q file of laudatory letters from soldiers. Red
Cross officials. and from at least one United
States Army general.
Nathaniel G. Wilson, spokesman fer the
d. c. Red Cross chapter. has stated that ex-
cIusion Of Mrs Snowden is "' in keep

Liquor, Sanitary Bills
Called Plan 10 'Harass
AGENCIES in County

Two bills before the Mont
gomery County Council dealing
with the County Liquor Board
and the Washington Suburban
Sanitary Commission were de-
scribed today by a county Demo
cratic leader as political maneu-
vers" intended TO ''harass" the two
agencies.
| The charge was made by ]
Bond Smith. chairman OF the
Democratic State Central Com
mittee for the county. who identi-
fed the sponsor of the legislation
as a Republican county council
man"
Both bills were introduced by
J. Douglas Bradshaw. One would
transfer title to the Liquor Dis
pensary Building in Silver Spring
from the Liquor Board TO the
county. The other would remove
garbage and trash collection from
the sanitary commission and place
them under the council.
Beaten In Assembly.
Similar proposals were intro
duced at the last session of the
General Assembly by the County {
all Republican delegation but were
defeated by the Democratic ma
jority on a party line vote.
In a statement. Mr.. Smith said
"One of the bills would revest
in the Sounty title to the Liquor
Dispensary building which was
properly transferred to the Liquor
Control Board created by the Leg
islature in 1943 because neither
the County Commissioners nor the
County Council have jurisdiction
over the licensing. regulating OF
prohibiting sale of intoxicants
This building did not cost Mont
gomery taxpayers cent in taxes
and rs per cent Of its original cost
together with interest charges
have been paid off from net pro-
fits of the Dispensary system.
THE building was specially de-
signed and constructed to meet
the special requirements of the
Liquor Control Board and the
Maryland National Capital Park
and Planning Commission, one oi
the bi-county agencies which this
particular member of the Council
regards it as politically advan-
taseous to harass at this time.
The other political bill would
take away from the other BIZ
county agency, the Washington
Suburban Sanitary Commission
one of it's purely incidental func-
tions which it is now efficiently
discharging- collection.
| Minor Effort to HaraSs.
This Republican County Coun-
Gilman surely has no immediate
personal or official interest either
in garbage or it's collection. AS a
Republican County politician
however, he just cannot avoid the
temptation to wrest something
from Democratic control or dis
position even though it be only
garbage.
If this Republican councilman
desired q real test on necessity
and value of the services oi
the Washington Suburban San
litary Commission to Montgomer,
County. he would introduce a bill
in the Council to take over. not
a purely incidental function. but
the principal functions of the San.

The 1919 fund campaign of East

morrow, John o. Grant, campaign
chairman, announced Thursday.
Mr.. Grant said the quota for
the district will be $1,000, two
thirds to be collected from the
Paseagoula Gautier, one : third
from the Moss Point Kreole areas.
For toe past two years" said
Mr.. Grant, Moss Point has
slightly exceeded its part of the
quota, while Paseagoula has con-
tributed less than half of its por-
ton.
"As we believe division of the
quota is fair and equitable. Pas
cagoula has either been under
solicited or donations to the drive
have been too small"
Mr.. Grant said he is devoting
one week of his annual vacation
from the Post Office department
to calling on larger donors. and
l intend to see that there is no
lack of solicitation on this years
drive"
The campaign will last through
Labor Day.
Everyone knows the value of
the Scout movement in building
character among our boys and in
directing their activities into
wholesome channels.

tribute generously so that funds
