'KICKBACK':
Scion Accused

The long-postponed trial Of Rep
j. Parnell Thomas (R., MD
opened with charges that he forced
a former secretary and codefend-
ant to aid him in a salary 'kick-
back" scheme.
THE CHARGE against Thomas
was made by John R. Fitzpatrick,
attorney for Miss Helen Campbell,
one-time secretary to the former
chairman of the house un-Ameri-
can activities committee.
Both Thomas and Miss Campbell
were charged with fraud and con-
spiracy by which the congressman
allegedly padded his office payroll
and took salary "kickbacks" from
two employees.
If convicted, the representative
would face up to 80 years in prison
and fines up to $40, 900. The house
of representatives would have to
decide whether he could remain in
congress. Miss Campbell would
face a somewhat lesser penalty.
MISS CAMPBELL'S attorney con-
coded that she aided in the kick
back" scheme, but only under
Thomas orders, and denied she
was guilty of conspiracy. Actually,
he said, she went to the justice
department and voluntarily told
everything the government knows
about the case"
The government claims the al
legged plan netted Thomas a total
Of S812. While he is accused of fill
ing false payroll claims totaling
nearly 81, 700, it is not alleged that
he got all the money.

GOVERNMENT:
'Poorhouse' State?

The COP was kicking around q
new label for the type of govern
ment it contends the Truman ad.
ministration is gradually bringing
about in the u. S. This time il
was the ''poorhouse" state, as
compared with welfare" state as
had been charged previously.
PRESIDENT TR u AN had
grabbed up the tag welfare" state
and took the line that if that was a
proper tag for all the progress and
improvements his administration
was bringing about, then the Amer
lean people ought to go all out for
the welfare" state. In that he
had the support of many of the ma
TONS newspapers.
COP National Chairman Guy G..
Gabrielson. in answering Mr. Tru-
man, accused the Presidents adj
ministration of leading the U. S.
to a ''poorhouse" state and to ag-
gravation of a serious unemploy-
ment problem in this country.
Gabrielson charged that recent
tariff cuts ordered by the President
under the reciprocal trade agree
ments act, renewed by the 81st
congress, have resulted in the Eek
porting of jobs of American work.
r in hope of providing jobs for
workers abroad"
Asserting that Democrats not
only are spending money that will
have to be repaid in taxes col
lected a hundred years from now,
Gabrielson declared:
"IF WE CONTINUE under the
present administration we r
headed for a poorhouse state, and
while the inmates of a poorhouse
may have a certain amount Of
security, their lot is not particular
ly enviable."
The COP chairman added that
the policies of the present admins
tration are directed toward de
stroying the American system of
free enterprise"
That's a familiar cry from the
COP, but on the basis of past bal
lot records, it has little weight with
the majority of us. voters.

LABOR:
TIL Waiver Asked

A psychological swipe at the
Taft-Hartley labor law was taker
by employer associations and labor
unions in the vast u. S. construc-
ton industry. Both joined in ask
ing the national labor relations
board for exemptions from Taft
Hartley labor law election require
mentS.
WHATEVER EFFECT the move
might have on congressional action
on Taft-Hartley when members
convene in January, there was no
denying the action was well timed.
With employer associations throw
ing in with labor in requesting the
blanket exemption, opponents of
Taft-Hartley would find added
strength.
The construction industry's ma
jor management and labor groups
contend that strict application of
the TIL law to them will wreck
long-standing collective-bargaining
practices and hamper building ac-
tivities.
Here, too, was a scintillating
strategic maneuver. for with hous-
ing still short and the problem
still far from solved, anything
which might be considered as an
aid to increased building could ex-
pect to get some consideration
from congress.
UNDER PRESENT TIL LAW,
elections such as those mentioned,
a vote must be taken before a
union can be certified as the proper
bargaining agent, and before a
union can get a union-shop agree
ment-one that requires workers
after they are hired to become
members of the union.
1t is a complete waiver of both
these provisions that management
and labor in the construction agen-
cy are asking.

A-BOMB ITEMS:
Breeder Planned

Those duly impressed by the

came as a surprise to many that

clared that the designers of the

Commissioners and aids also told

propel ships.
1t will also start work next year
on a reactor-an atomic furance-
expected to yield Significant
amounts" of e%lectronic power and
to breed" or manufacture more
atomic materials as it goes along.
THIS, Acc AIDS SAID, is dis
tinguished from the experimental
breeder" whose primary purpose
would be to produce new atomic
materials, with power production
only a sideline.
DR.. Hafstad said the breeder"
reactor would be built at Arco,
Idaho. He added that if it works,

CHINESE:
Trigger-Huppy

The muddled China picture was
getting no clearer, and the US.
again had been put in the middle.
INSULTED by China Commu-
nists who had imprisoned (but
later released the US. consular
attache, Angus Ward, Americans
fumed anew as Chinese National
lists, supposed friends of the US,
were charged with firing upon a
US. vessel, the Sir John Franklin.
The incident occurred off Shang-
hal.
The ships owners released a
radio message from the skipper of
the ship who charged that two
Nationalist warships had ignored
his order to halt for a boarding
party and had, instead, raked the
vessel with a constant barrage"
of shells, almost at point blank
range. The ships owners demanded
that the us. act to curb the 'trig-
g~er-happy" Nationalist.
The state department said it
would protest "energetically" to
the Nationalist government. The
us. agency entered the picture
after receiving reports of the in
cident from Walter P. McCon-
aughy, us. consul-general at
Shanghai, who said no one aboard
the vessel was injured.
THE INCIDENT was the latest
in a series of attacks or other mis-
adventures suffered by the COM
pany's vessels at the hands of the
Nationalist.
An unexplained angle of the sit
uation was the question of what a
vessel was doing-or its
ordering a man-of-war
of the Chinese Nationalist to halt

Allen County Wheat Acreage Is Cut
10 Per Cent In Price Support Program

Allen county's wheat acreage will
be reduced in 1850 by at least 1928
acres, approximately l0.5 per cent,
as a result of limitations on produc-
tion under the federal price support
program.
The optional curbs will apply to
those farmers who expect to take
advantage of the federal price sup
port program for wheat, but there
are no restrictions on acreage plant
ed if the farm operator is not plan
ming to cooperate with the federal
program.
In Allen county, $4,000 acres of
wheat were harvested in 1948, and
the 1850 allotment is set at 25,777.
Putnam county's acreage took the
largest cutback in this district, with
14,450 acres slashed from $1,000
acres planted in 1948. Maximum
acreage in 1850 was set at 43,450.
Smallest reduction was that in
Hardin county, reduction of 1910
acres from the 1948 total of 81 400.
Hancock county production will be
reduced by 1904 acres; 46,206 in
