Ambassador of Italy, made a hur-
ried trip here from New York this
past week, completed plans for
the Christmas bazaar to be held
at the Embassy on Tuesday, De-
cember 6, then rushed back to New

Dora and Letizia, at the boat.
The Embassy has taken on a
festive air these past weeks, with
crates and boxes arriving from
Italy with wares for the benefit
which is sponsored by the Amerl-
can Friends of Italy. The whole
lower floor of the Embassy is to be
open to the public from 10 in the
morning until 10 at night. lnclud-
ing the Ambassador study with
its magnificent paneling. 1t will
be remembered that the stately
mansion was built when Caetan1
was Ambassador, a reproduction
of a wing of his palace in Italy,
even to the spacious patio.
There are already a wide as
sortment of beautiful things for
the bazaar, with more on the way.
Mrs. James Clement Dunn, wife
of our Ambassador, has sent Vene-
tian silver pieces. Leather purses,
desk sets, stamp and cigarette
cases, picture frames and boxes
have come from Florence, many
collected by Signora Tarchianl
when she was home this past
summer, others by Donna Julia
Brambilla while she was in Italy.
There are doll dresses in the cos
tunes of Italian provinces, Puglie,
Marche, Abbruzzo and many
others. These were dressed and
sent to the Embassy by women in

A Professor of Surgery at
Northwestern University claims
that humans could avoid
TROUBLES if they went about
on all tours. Standing erect, he
says, is as wrong as a picture
of Groucho Marx on a $40
bill. The human skeleton is
patterned along the same
lines as four-footed animals,
and when we insist on doing
tricks like standing on u
hind legs it puts strains on
the lower back, the lower abb
domen and the feet. Well, the
Prof. has an argument that's
as unanswerable as an echo,
and most of us have the aches
to prove it. Most of us won't
see eye to eye with him -.
unless we get down on all
tours.
California legislators voted
against letting school teachers
spank students. Apparently
they figured the teachers were
working on the wrong end.

tat his money could buy to the
Illinois state legislature.
Capone was vulnerable. He
had a weak gut and couldn't af-
ford to get kicked in it. He
trained his statesmen well, so
that they gathered in a protec-
tive ring around him and cried
Red" every time a gangbusting
law was up for passage.
And so now, State Sen. RO-
land W. LibOnati, who used to
shout xiii the urIpi -. with
AL Capone at White SOx Park
in the '30s, sits in the Illinois
Seditious Activities Commission.
Rep. J. Parnell Thomas,
Washington's Red" specialist,
was scheduled to go on trial this
week, charged with fraud in his
Congressional payroll. He was
vulnerable. He had a curse to
cast from himself on to another.
He sought his safety and securi-
ty, too, with the redbaiters and
labor haters.
Senator Glen Taylor displays
a clipping from paper in Twin
Falls, Idaho, his home state. The
headline reads, Council Defeats
Tax on Slot Machines; Calls

same twist again.

into other fields. The hug bites
fine church-going men, too,
whose vulnerable spots have no
connection with racketeering.
For example when the Taft
Hartley bill was up for a vote
in Congress in 1947, thousands
of militant union men piled into
cars and descended on Wash
ington in great motorcade
But Philip Murray and William
Green feared that kind of mass
action. They preferred the
method of high level "persua-
sion" with the White House,
rather than the Irritating in
fluence of lobby. So they
privately requested Congress
men to boycott the mass rally,
calling their own unionists
Reds"
AS speed-ups get speedier and
pay-scales lag in steel and auto,
the Murray-Reuther cry of
Communist" increases in I'M
canny proportion. There is a
vulnerability strangely kin to
that of ParnelI Thomas.
In southern city where
covered the news, the CLIO
regional director greeted WISH
tors with a sticker on his door,
Member, Chamber of Com
MERGE"
For relaxation, he lunched
frequently with the local chief
of the FBI. This was a vulner-
able spot, but it gave the CLIO
man community prestige
which he enjoyed.
A mall group of unions
privately questioned these social
habits and tied them up with
ar inevitable laxness in union
militancy. He found his pro-
lection in red-baiting.
The smear is the same for the
high-type, refined elements as
for the thugs.
1t is an uncomfortable alli-
ance, which some wish were not
there. But the choice for those
who squirm is to break the al
lance by forming a new one
with mass action of the people
But it begins to appear they
would feel this even more de-
grading.

CARTELS OR COMPETITION?
by George Stocking and
Myron Watkins. Twentieth
Century Fund. $500.

After two world wars,
brought on by the cartelists, the
political nature of cartels should
be apparent to the professors.
They speak of government
controls" So long as cartels
control governments how can
governments control cartels?
These are things with which
the book does not deal. 1t reiter-
ates, rather, the ''purism' OF
America. America must take
the lead in controlling cartels.
But who is today the leading
cartel power-Liberia? Who re-
established the cartels in the
Ruhr and Germany, against
even the wishes of France and
Britain - Finland?
This is the core of the LECTION
of american interests" which
rOts our whole foreign policy
the assumption that since what
the American people want is
right, therefore what our State
Department does is right. There
is an ocean of difference be-
tween what the American peo-
pie need and what the Ameri-
can mOnOpOlists who control
our foreign policy want and get.

highly political.
If the cartelists themselves,
recognizing popular resentment,
had set out to give leadership"
down avenues leading nowhere,
they could not have done bet
te job than these authors.
The books failure begins on
the cover: "Cartels or Competi-
ton" This, to put it kindly, is
naive. Competition in an era of
monopoly capital inevitably
leads to monop,'y exp; nsion.
Fifty years of history should be
proof enough of this even for
the professor authors.
To continue to argue for a
return 0 competition" is like
exhorting molten lava to flow
