This Changing World
Rita.Aly Marriage by Communist Mayor
Shows French More Romantic Than Red

ingrained that it shows through
no matter how carefully dis
guised?
There have been many reasons
to believe that the Communist
strength in such countries as
France and Italy was nowhere
near what the election returns
indicated. Communism does not
come naturally to people who can
love life no matter how deep their
poverty and who can sing while
they hunger.
The Communist by his very ma
ture Is O grim, unsmiling soul,
who lives In a world with which
he Is completely out Of step. He
cannot relax into good-natured
rivalry with his political foes. for
his dogma dictates that he de-
stroy them, using invective and
strong language while he can dc
nothing worse. using violence and
imprisonment when the oppor-
tunity arises.
Real Hard Core Is Small.
That is why the French and
italian peoples will never make
good Communists, and why we
have reason to believe that the
real hard core Of communism in
both those countries Is consider
ably smaller than would appear
on the surface.
It is we'll that we did not ac-
cept the apparent rising tide OF
communism in France and Italy
two and three years ago for what
it seemed to be. II we had. we
might have given up and per-
mitted Communist leadership to
take over at the top, imposing its
bitter philosophy on peoples
whose love of life springs from
their democratic freedoms.
It is well that we discounted
heavily, as a mere reflection Of
popular dissatisfaction with exist
ing conditions, the apparent vot-
ing strength of the Red parties,
for as it stands now communism
Is being forced further and further
back on that hard core whichsis
its only strength.
The Mayor of Vallauris himself
has shown. by his wholly un-
communistic behavior, that there
Is hope for him, too. He prob
ably will never get used to marry
ing royalty" but at least he dis
played something inside which
real Communists have lost.

The preparation costs them half

American military advisers found

rationalize, refrain. re-eQuip and

convinced that, II Russia starts q

What they do not understand is

not include Turkey.
High government officials are SO
convinced that the Truman doc

(de facto) in the Atlantic Pact
community that they can argue

But the public does not under
stand 1t. and the exclusion Of

Ford Workers Vote
I To | For Strike
To Win Demands

Detroit (LPA) - In a record
large strike vote, Ford workers in
the state of Michigan voted 65,OOl
to 9540 to back up their leaders
with a strike if necessary to win
United Auto Workers economic de-
mands this year.
The three-day state-conducted
vote required under Michigan's
Bonine-Tripp (little Taft Hartley
law was the center of hot fight
between UAW and Ford. Ford even
tried legal action to have the loca-
ton of the ballot booths changed
from a lot near union headquart-
ers to plant grounds.
The company spent large
amounts of money for full-page
newspaper advertisements an d
radio time urging workers to vote
against strike authorization. UAW
President Walter Reuther urged
Ford employees to vote for strike
as a means of strengthening the
unions bargaining position.
When the ballots were tailed,
more than 93R of the $1,000 Ford
workers in Michigan had voted.
The results matched union-con-
Quoted strike election held in Ford
plants thruout the country last
month. At that time the 10000
Ford workers across the nation
voted seven to one for a strike.
Immediately following the cleo
tion victory, Reuther expressed
hope that the demands for pen
sions, health insurance and wage
raises can still be settled at the
bargaining table, UAW has 80
days now IN which it is free to call
strike.
Ford vice-president John S.
Bugas said the company's position
has not been changed by the vote.
They are still Offering a II month
wage freeze and an 18 month
freeze of other contract provisions.
During the voting, Henry Ford
ii warned his employees that any
strike called by the union would
probably be a long one" More
than 10000 production workers at
the giant Ford Rouge plant only
recently finished a speedup strike
that cost them each hundreds of
dollars in lost paychecks. The
Rouge workers proved by their
votes, however, that they are will
ing to risk such an ordeal again
before they are blackmailed into
accepting company dictates.

MonopoIists Win
On Basing Point
Pricing Practices

Washington (LPA)--Anti-mono-
poly forces in Congress lost bat
tie last week to save the Supreme
Court decision against monopol-
istic basing point pricing practices.
The O'Mahoney bill, which would
legalize basing point pricing pro
vided there is no "collusion'
among the big companies, went to
conference, from which liberals
predicted it would emerge in prac-
tically its present form.
Leading the fight against send
ing the O'Mahoney bill to confer
ence were Senators Russell X.
Long Cd, La.), Paul H. Douglas
Cd, Ill) and Estes Kefauver ID,
Tenn.).
Long and his colleagues We're
hoping that the bill would at least
go out in the. form in which it
passed the House, where Rep. John
A. Carroll Cd, COLI succeeded in
having protective amendment
added to it. Longs motion, how
ever, was defeated 48 to %, so the
bill will now go to conference
where differences between it and
the House bill will be ironed out.
In floor debate before voting on
the measure Senator Long remind
ed the solons of party platform
pledges "to protect the small and
business man."
Douglas expressed conviction
that passage of this legislation
would not only be a major setback
to small business and to our anti
trust policies, but also resound-
ing victory for the monopolists and
cartels."
Kefauver called the O'Mahoney
a dangerous bill because
it confuses the law on unfair
of competition and because
it increases the difficulties of the
Federal Trade Commission in ban
ming pricing practices that restrict
trade and tend to eliminate COM
petition"
