Giveaways Going

Public apathy, according to cur
rent reports, appeared to be beat
ing the federal courts to the punch
in o~bliterating giveaway shows
from the nations radio networks.
Although proposed federal bans
remained tied up in the courts,
the public already had knocked off
a number of Jackpot shows by the
most effective means in radio
not tuning them in. Four such
shows already had folded, n was
on the way out, others being
revised.
The decline of the giveaway was
attributed to the passing of a fad
"a falling off in interest among
radio listeners; but, whatever the
reason, it is automatic in radio
that a loss of audience is as fatal
to a program as any federal edict
could be.

Water and Fire

Water causes burning grease,
fats and oils to spatter violently
and thus spreads the flame.
Water is not effective on fires in
volving electrical equipment and
short circuits until after the cir
cult is cut off. In such cases the
fire extinguisher is the logical an
sWer.

HIGH COURT:
A Stote's Right

A states right to enact laws for
bidding use of force and violence
to keep workmen from their jobs
was upheld by the United States
supreme court.
THE CASE came up on appeal
from Arkansas where the CLIO.
had attacked enactment of such a
law. The labor unions called it a
violation of federal constitutional
guarantees of freedom of speech
and assembly.
But the high court was not con-
fused. The Arkansas law, it ruled.
did nothing of the kind. 1t did not
penalize any peaceful assembly at
the site of a labor dispute, nor did
it Infringe the right of expression
OF views in any labor dispute"
All it did, the court said, in ef-
feet, was to require that labor
disputes proceed without the use
of force OF violence.

DEFENSE:
Skeletons Ruttle

Skeletons Of the Franklin D. Roose-
welt Inner circle" were being
ratified again. This time, It was
Harry L. Hopkins, Roosevelt right
hand-man in the %glittering days of
the New Deal and the early wal
years, who was being resurrected
in charges he gave U. S. atomic
secrets to the Russians.
THE ACCUSER was G. Racey
Jordan, a former army captain,
who declared in a radio interview
that big loads of what a Russian
colonel called uranium and bomb
powder were flown to Russia in
1914 under hurry-up instructions
telephoned Jordan by the late Mr..
Hopkins.
Ex-captain Jordan claimed pos
session of documentary proof, in
Guiding a diary and copies which
he said were of letters he wrote
informing his superiors of these
events.
u. S. officialdom who might have
been concerned, or who were init
mate with or associates of Hopkins
and the timer circle" we're quick
to brand Jordan's charges as fan
tastic," a "cock-and-bull story" or
to claim they had heard nothing"
about any such happenings.
JORDAN'S ACCOUNT described
Hopkins as "the button the Rus
slams touched every time they
needed emergency help" and said
Hopkins was in the picture all
the time"
Despite the overall denial in high
places, a congressional probe
group set to work to investigate
the charges. It's action was di-
by Chairman Mcmahon
3D., Conn., of the senate-house
atomic committee.

TAXES: *
Reform Urqed
~@s~a..e.-

It wouldn't be all beer and skit-
ties for Mr.. Truman and his let's
increase-taxes adherents in the
second session of the 81st congress.
AS everyone will recall, Mr..
Truman has indicated he will ask
a multi-billion dollar tax hike in
January, and he was bolstered in
that position by a statement by
John Snyder, treasury secretary,
who also saw a need for more
taxes.
HOWEVER, Senator O'Mahoney
3D., Wyo.) didn't share the views
Of these two gentlemen. Instead.
the senator said publicly that any
tax increase not only would be a
mistake, but a practical impos-
sibility."
The senator, who heads the SEN
ate-house economic committee and
might reasonably be presumed to
know what he was talking about,
told newsmen he thought the gov
eminent could get more rel
by revising the tax system to give
new incentives to business, rather
than by raising taxes.
HE WILL SUGGEST, it was indi-
Gated, that wasteful spending in
government be eliminated but not
too sharply, and that no tax hike
be made. Declaring the present
tax system to be badly in need of
reform, he said it should be re-
vised to provide incentive for bust
ness expansion.
