Victory for Housing
(New York Times

iNeW
 Congressional approval of the National HouSihg Bill is victory for intelligent government and mile stone of soca progress The measure is certainly one of the most important that will be written into law by this Congress it's effects will unquestonably be felt for many years First of it's kind since l937 this law represents years of effort. It was finally enacted only over the bitter but, we believe mis- guided opposition of large segmens of the real estate and construction industry.
 Far from injuring the private builder, we feel that this act will provide him with stimulus and challenge The persons who will benefit from the federal housing provided under this bill not those whose needs the private builder has thus far been able to meet But the existence of arge-scale federal housing program should sharpen the efforts of the private builder bring his costs down toward the point where he supply housing for the lower income mass of the population. On his ability to do this will depend the diminuton of demand for sub- sidzed living quarters.
 But the fact remains that up to the present this crying need has not been by private industry it has too long been evident that essential for Government to fill the breach. Some critics of this bill call it "socialstic" But measure of this sort must be considered it's merits not in the light of the epithets that be applied to it. The important factor here is that Americans need decent housing; it is primary fundamental requisite in democratic society; private industry has not been able to supply it in sufficient scale; and, in view of these circum- stances it proper function of democratic govern ment to help furnish it.
 The cost is not small; but the maximum annual subsidy under the program is less than per cent of the present federal budget. Failure to build S10900 housing units would in terms of human welfare and social stability by far coster to the democratic state
 The road to the left becomes increasingly steep downh as passes through the towns of Paternalism Socialism and Communism and over the precipice to Chaos.

MIKE MCa%RONEY VS. SEN. '2HGMAS

His supporter; s--o.i't like the idea = of premature publicity, but keep your eye on young Represen- tative Mike Monroney as the next United States Senator from Okla homa
 It is no secret that the able Oklahoman has long been urged to take on pocketbook Senator FL mer Thomas, who races reelection next year Now Monroney's friends say he is about ready to say 'yes."
 Thomas, who fancies himself as smart a politician as he is at spec ulating on the commodities ex- change, pulled one of the worst boners any Oklahoma politician can commit when he went back on REA farmers and led the fight against government transmission l...-cs for public power distribution in the Southwest.
 The rural identification program, which wila be Geverely hit Nt Thomas and his Senate private power cohorts can enact their scheme into law, is immensely pop ular in Oklahoma. Tn fact, the average Oklahoma farmer is SC completely sold on the REA pro- gram that he takes any attack or it almost as personal insult.
 That's why political observers ir Oklahoma say that Cotton FL

BACKSTAGE WITH THE COP

The backstage story of what hap pened inside the Republican Na- tional Committee shows how bit terly the Taft-Dewey forces are still divided.
 The man chiefly responsible for Guy Gabrielson's hairbreadth elec- tion as chairman was Taft's close friend, hefty Republican Clarence Brown of Ohio.
 It was Brown, working closely with Sen. Hugh Butler of Me- braska. who induced Abel Shot, we'll of Nebraska to switch to Gabrielson, thus clinching a ma- jority of the committees 1O2 votes for the New Jerseyite.
 In doing so, Brown definitely ruled himself out as a compromise candidate for the chairmanship.
 At one point Taft forces were flabbergasted at Dewey offer, made by Mason Owlett of Penn sylvania, to support Taft's close friend, Brown, provided Gabrielson agreed to step out.
 It was tempting bait but Brown didn't bite.
 T am not a candidate" he told Owlett. T have come out for Gabe and l won't let him down."

 Arriving in Paris in the winter of 1948, the amazing Maragon pre- sented letters of introduction to Gen. Clyde Hyssong, in charge of war surplus for the State Depart ment, and then proceeded to charge the General with giving unwarrant- ed information to Jack Van Allen, rival of Maragon's who also rep resented Dawson.
 In the end. the State Department had to send special investigator across the Atlantic to straighten out the row.
 In the end, also, Dawson and Maragon did not get the 1000 sur plus vehicles, though they did get about TOO Army motorcycles after a heated row over the price.

an American Company to Denmark 10 play Hamlet"
 The idea of sending Negro play CTS to Scandinavia was suggested by Ivan Jacobsen, staff member of the Norwegian Embassy, after he happened to see the Howard University drama department in action. He felt that Paul Robe- son had not painted a true picture of the American Negroes, and so on his own initiative promoted the tour as gesture of people-to-people friendship.
 Prediction This will do almost as much good as some phases of the North Atlantic Pact.
 Seen and Heard in the Senate Restaurant:-Sen Howard Me Grath of Rhode Island, newly ap- pointed Attorney General, finished lunch and called for his check. The waiter brough it. This was the first day the new District of Nol'mbia sales tax went into ef- feet.
 The tax should be three cents not two,' the Senator advised the waiter. You've undercharged me.
 Since Senator McGrath wrote the sales-tax law for the District of Columbia. the waiter didn't argue. The man who, as Attorney Gener- al, will be responsible for enforcing the law, handed him the extra penny.

The Senate huzzed with news of the appointment of Attorney Gen. eral Clark to the Supreme Court and of Senator McGrath to be At torney General-especially Senators James Rem of Missouri, Clark's bitter critic, and Homer Ferguson of Michigan, who has been under investigation.

NLRB Bans Pickets
Following Products
TO Other Premises

The National Labor Relations
Board ruled unanimously today
that a union violated the sec
ondary. boycott ban of the Taft
Hartley Act by having pickets
follow the products of a struck
firm to the premises of other en-
ployerS.
In another ruling an NLRB
trial examiner found two mari
time unions guilty of an illegal
boycott by picketing six gulf
shipyards during the 1948 West
Coast maritime strike.
The first. ruling involved the
AFL Printing Specialties and
Paper Corfverters' Union. Charges
were brought against the union
by a manufacturer of paper food
containers in Los Angeles, where
a local of the union was on strike.
Express Trucks Picketed.
Union pickets followed trucks
bearing products of the paper
goods firm to the loading plat
forms of an express trucking COM
pany and picketed the trucks
there. They also picketed a dock
where paper for the struck firm
was being unloaded from a ship.
The board. in oyerruling a trial
examiner, held that the picketing
violated the secondary boycott
ban, on the ground that it con-
stituted inducement and en-
couragement of employees of the
two shipping Arms to refuse to
handle goods of the paper COM
pany With the object Of compelling
their employers to cease doing
business with the struck manu-
facturer. -. sr 1 ..F
Aimed at Ship Operators
Picketing at the Cult ports was
intended to- induce employees OF
shipyards at New Orleans, Mobile

The unions involved were the C1O

The trial examiner recon-
mended that the two unions be
ordered to refrain from such pic
keting activities in the future.
