So Days .

THE 81st CONGRESS has now been in
= session for So days yet not single
piece of major legislation = as proposed
by President Truman - has been enacted.
This is the reason why President Truman
was so insistent in his Jefferson-Jackson
Day Dinner, calling for speed and threat
ening to 'get on the train again" to take
the issue directly to the people.
We certainly hope So That train should
be rolling right now. We say this because
from every indication the 8lst Congress
is far from being sensitive to the Presi-
dents and to the peoples - wishes.
The infamous Taft-Hartley Act is still on
the statute books AS matter of fact, the
House Committee on Labor has just an
nounced its decision to hold hearings on
the matter. This, plus the endless debates
that will come when the bill to repeal gets
to the floor of the Senate and the House,
will take many, many more weeks.
Nor has there been any action on the
proposed Housing Bill; the new Social
Security program; the Medical and Health
proposals and at least dozen other major
proposals that make up the main section
Of the Presidents program.
It seems plain to us that the republi-
cans together with the reactionary
senators and representatives from the
South are determined to torpedo the
program for which the people of America
voted last Nov. End. President Truman
and the leadership of the Democratic
party should know that
Not only that, but they should act,
and act with speed and determination. No
longer can President Truman blame a
Republican controlled congress- 1t is the
Democratic party which now controls Con-
gress. The people who voted for the Demo-
cratic program and Mr.. Truman -
know that. Therefore the responsibility
for this inaction on the part of the Con-
gress lies directly at the foot of the Presi-
dent and his Party.

Our history shows that whenever great
issues were at stake, great presidents
always took those issues to the people.
And the people always backed them up
1t was so with Thomas Jefferson, the
author of our Declaration of independence.
1t was so with Andrew Jackson who de-
feated the great money interests of his
day. 1t was so with the late Franklin d.
Roosevelt who perhaps more than any
other president, took his problems to the
people whenever he found the Congress
reluctant to act
So it must be with Harry S. Truman
If he wants to retain the trust of the mil
lions who made him president.

Preparing For Action

ONCE AGAIN, headed by the greatest
" union in the land, the UAW-CIO and
the powerful Steelworkers Union, the
wage earners are getting ready for action.
The workers are demanding higher wages,
adequate pensions and a social security
program that will include medical and
surgical benefits.
Besides these two great organizations,
other powerful unions are also swinging
into action. 1t is expected the United Mine
Workers will shortly announce their aims
for their new contract that will come up
this spring The largest independent union,
the Telephone Workers, also announced
that they are out for additional benefits
No one should be surprised that this is
so. After all the cost of living is still up
in the stratosphere, along with the profits
OF the corporations. Workers must receive
adequate pay for their work so that they
may be able to purchase back what they
produce The fact that they are not able
to do this is responsible for the wide
spread lay offs in Industry today.
And, it seems to us, unless this drive
Tor higher wages and adequate security
for the workers succeeds, the present So
called 'deflationary' period will inevita-
bly, bloom into full fledged economic
depression.

Unemployment And The LMC

III
IL vened the LMC in special session
to ponder the problem Of spreading un-
EMPLOYMENT, he was acting at least in our
opinion - in the very basic interests OF
the people of our city. Certainly this IS
a burning problem. 1t concerns everyone.
Particularly the more than $1,000 workers
who are now seeking work. Right now, IN
addition to these $4,000 jobless workers,
some 1000 are laid off temporarily at the
WilIys-Overland plant alone. 1t is expect
ed that some 1900 of these workers will
be called back in two weeks but that
about 2,400 workers will be indefinitely
laid off.
On top of all this, thousands of work
ers - particularly in our foundries -
are working less than five days per week.

Is il any wonder that under these cir
cumstances people are getting restless.

parate days of our last depression work.
ers are frightened Whats happening?"
they want to know. And no seems to have
an answer for them. Certainly the public
and industry members of LMC didn't have
an answer. Public members said practical
ly nothing. Industry members S m ply
complained about the alleged high cost
of production" in Toledo.
And yet, we must have an answer
People can't live, unless they have jobs
There is an answer. At least partial
one. And that is the program advanced
by Mr. Richard Gosser, Vice-President of
the UAW-CIO. "Why is it," Mr.. Gosesr
wanted to know, "that some large Toledo
concerns-Spicer's and the Electric Auto
Lite being the main ones are creating
thousands of jobs in other communities
while their own workers in Toledo are be-
ing laid Off"
Both Of these concerns started in To-
ledo. Both of them grew fat on the labor
of Toledo citizens. Yet, today we find
them laying off the people who made
their wealth possible and are shipping
their work and jobs - to other COM
munities
Frankly, we wonder if these huge
corporations owe any debt of gratitude to
the people and the city who made their
wealth possible. In any event. as Mr..
Gosser suggested, the LMC might try
to find out
r y 4
In the meantime, while this investiga-
tion is going on, there is something that
the LMC can do without delay. 1t can
get behind the proposals of our repre-
sentatives in the General Assembly in
Columbus TO raise our unemployment
compensation benefits. Our proposals, as
worked out by the United Labor Commit
tee calls for $3.50 per week, plus $500
for each dependent and for period of
50 weeks. This bill was introduced in the
House by Lucas County Representatives,
Michael Damas, Frank King and Morton
Neipp.
Surely, it is not too much to ask that
the public spirited members of the LMC
both as an organization and as individuals,
not only endorse this bill but get out and
fight for its adoption
We feel positive that the jobleSs
of our city would very much
their gesture.

The Christian Church celebrates
Easter for more than sentimental
reasons. 1t knows that far more
important than the corsageS and
bouquets, the Dummies and the bas-
kets which have usurped the orig
NAL significance of the season in
many an American home, is the
great historical fact which the day
commentaries.
The resurrection of Christ from
the dead on Easter morning is a
historical fact 1t is the corner
stone of Christianity. For by His
resurrection on the third day Christ
gave irrefutable answers to sew
eral crucial questions.
In the first place, by His resur-
rection He proved Himself to be
the Son of God, as He claimed.
Or as the Bible puts it, He was
declared to be the Son of God
> BY the resurrection from the dead.
Furthermore, by the miracle Of
Easter Christ proved that all His
doctrines were the truth. What He
had taught about sin, about saliva
ton, about heaven and hell-all
must be true.
Thirdly the happenings on that
first Easter morning afforded posi-
tive proof that the Father in heaven
had accepted the sacrifice of His
Son for the sins of the world
And finally, Christ's resurrection
is the guarantee that all believers
will arise some day unto life
eternal" For as Christ put it, Be
cause I live, We shall live also"
These are the tremendous facts
of Easter. 1t is because these things
are true that Christ could say: Il
am the Resurrection and the Life
Whosoever liveth and believeth
in Me shall never die"
Do you believe these things to
be true? We invite you to share
the certainty of these truths with
us in our Easter services. - ST.

The Learned
Doctor Stirs Up
A Hornets Nest
By Charles D. Rowe

The prominent head of the Uni
versity of Chicago, DR.. Robert May
nard Hutchins. exploded a couple
of bombs in his address before the
convention of educators held in
Spokane last week. He strongly
condemned the United States foreign
policy and also the discharge of
communist professors from our col
leges and universities. And in those
two contentious he stirred up the
lively opposition of scores of people.
The learned doctor thinks our
foreign policy is all wrong, that the
present cold war will inevitably
lead to a shooting war. He is a

strong advocate Of a world govern
ment, discussed in this column last
week.
DR. Hutchins contends that we
must learn to behave ourselves
within five years, or face destruc-
ton. What does the noted educator
! advocate in that respect? Perhaps
he was speaking Of the world as a
whole. But so far as the OnlIeo
States is concerned, we have Oeen
desperately trying ever since the
close of active fighting, to Deha'Ve
ourselves and to get along with the
rest of the world But what must
be the conclusion when the second
strongest nation in the world re-
fuses absolutely to play ball, refuses
to cooperate, refuses to do anything
except have its own way? Wnat
must be the sensible conclusion
when that same nation is known TO
hold TO a policy of world domino
tion through bloody revolution,
when that nation believes that de-
sfruction of other nations and their
canitalistic systems is the mission
of that one nation, and that such
destruction is necessary and newt
able? Does the good doctor contend
that we should sit back in a oLnd
comnlacency, softly chide the belll-
perent one, remain unprepared, and
supinelv await a terrifying attack
and ultimate destruction by those
bent on world domination? Or IS 1t
moro sensible to unite with the rest
of the world in an all-out attempt
to contain the quarrelsome nation
and force it, by superior power, TO
the ways of peace? Practically
every attempt of ours to organize
the post-belligerent world for an
era of universal peace and gooaWlI
has been opposed by Russia. Unoar
such conditions, what else can we !
do except prepare our overWnnelm,
ing power to meet an attack II ana
when it comes?
DR. Hutchins also took up the
cudgels in behalf of the discharged j
Red professors. He contends there
is more danger in the destruction
Of academic freedom than there
is in permitting the Red educators
to hold forth. Dr. Hutchins con-
tended that it is not illegal LOT u
man to be a communist Therefore
it is likewise not illegal for a pro-
lessor to be a communist, and
since it is not illegal there are no
Just grounds for his discharge.
It's passing strange what sophis-
try learned men can sometimes en-
oloy. DR.. Hutchins evidently can
not see that those men and women
who have been assigned the high
duty of educating our young people
nave responsibility over and above
hat of the ordinary individual.
Their work is a special one. They
must be competent and willing to
i've up to that high responsibility.

They train them how to 60 out
