Browns, still the leaders of
the 1949 series, will tussle with
the Crusaders, its closest con-
tender. This game, which is
scheduled to start at 2:3O to-
morrow afternoon on Parade

closely contested and exciting.
Should the Browns win
they, of course, will remain

have to veto it. In either event the Taft-Hart-
ley Act would remain on the books until next
session
Federal aid to education is still far from
becoming a reality in this session of Congress,
although the Thomas-Taft Bill has passed the
Senate and the Education Subcommittee of the
House Education and Labor Committee has
ported the Barden Bill to the full committee.
However, no executive sessions have been
scheduled to consider the Barden Bill and it
is doubtful that this bill will be reported out
of committee.
Whether some other education bill will be
presented to the House is difficult to predict.
There is some talk of making needed changes
in the Senate bill and substituting it for the
Barden Bill, but there also is talk of holding
the whole question over until the next session.
1t might logically be assumed that this lat
ter course will be adopted, since the House
Appropriations Committee, the only committee
which under the law, is authorized to initiate
bill for the necessary appropriations has
completed its work for this session. Money for
an education program cannot be voted upon
until next session.
Personally, cannot accept the Barden Bill.
This proposed legislation would provide states
rights in one clause by giving federal money
directly to the states but would hamper action
by the states in two other clauses. One of these
provides that the federal grant could not be
used for such benefits as health programs,
transportation, lunches and non-religous text
books in schools not supported by public taxes.
Applying this to local school set-up,
for instance, would mean that Public Health
nurses could no longer visit parochial schools
and look after the health of pupils as has been
done for many years Yet this program, in my
opinion, is not directly an educational service,
but tends to guard the health of the whole
community.
The Barden Bill also would permit any
taxpayer who thought the money was being
spent in violation of the act to seek an injunc-
ton in federal court. Another objection to
the bill is that it fosters race discrimination,
for it does not provide equal educational OPP

Phony Champions

THE COMMIES have been screaming
Il for years-and often with consider
able ustification-about the manner in
which civil rights are abrogated in the u S.
They - to hear them tell it - are the
champions of the downtrodden and the OPP
pressed They're the defenders of the Jew
who can't get room in restricted" ho-
tel, the Negro who can't eat in white"
restaurant, the Mexican who gets kicked
around on his job.
This would indicate that the lefties are
really champions of civil liberties, but
there's an entirey different side to the
matter.
Over the years, Catholic groups have
been bounced around badly in some Sec
tions of the country. The Commies haven't
defended these groups.
Socialists frequently have been de-
prived of their civil rights, but the Com
mics could never be bothered by that
And the lads who follow the Stalinist
line chortle with glee when Trotskyites get
the short end of the stick in any wrangle
involving civil liberties.
The reason is obvious. Catholics, So
cialists and otskyites-although in en-
tirely different categories-are among the
groups which battle Communism at every
turn.
But the matter goes much deeper than
that World Communism, as directed by
Moscow, is based on a concept which
leaves no room for real civil liberties.

to cooperative groups for housing for their
members.
In addition, the government may spend
S3O8, ,00O, 900 annually to construct public hous-
ing to care for families with no incomes or
very low incomes. Rents will be charged In
proportion to the family's income and the fed
eral government will pay the difference
Housing also will be provided for needy
farmers through federal loans and grants. The
bill also authorizes research program to de-
termine causes and cures for our housing
problems.
Mr.. Taft's 1949 model of the aft-Hartley
Act passed by the Senate last week, probably
will reach the House Education and Labor
Committee this week. A lot of different cours-
es of action are being discussed and the press
has added to the general confusion in trying
to determine which way the wind blows.
The problem which the House Committee
faces is whether to begin new hearings in an
effort to come up with new legislation or let
the bill die in committee on the basis that any
new bill might be duplicate of the Taft Bill
or the Wood Bill, which is the Taft-Hartley Act
with a southern accent If such a bill were to
pass the President, in all probability, would

LPA COlumnist

ONE of the most extraordinary political
to a climax Aug. 2, when four candidates for
the governors chair fight it out in the Demo
cratic Party primary
While organized labor has confined itself
to a drive to get out the vote = a difficult
task with the states poll tax and registration
requirements unionistS and liberals In this
and other Dixie states will be watching the
results carefully.
Major fight is between the candidate of the
machine oiled and steered by Sen. Harry F.
Byrd and Col Francis Pickens Miller The
other two candidates may serve to obscure the
final results, but are not major contenders.
Miller comes from distinguished Virgil
mia family, was on Gen. Eisenhowers staff
during World War ii, and has long fought the
machine in the state. He is an effective speak
er, an energetic campaigner, and has already
scared the pants off the Byrd machine.
John Battle, Byrds candidate, is insisting
that Miller is labor'S man; Byrd last week as
serted that his boy sis the only candidate who
has made a clear and unequivocal statement
that he favorS Virginias right-to-work laws
and the laws preventing strikes in public util-
tiles enacted by the General Assembly of Vir-
ginia." Miller says Byrd is trying to pit class
against class" and to inflame the large rural
vote against working men and women who be-
long to unions
It's the issues on which Miller is cam
paigning that may serve as the key to break
ing the Dixiegop hold on the Democratic
party in the SOUTH and may give the decent
public-spirited elements in these states new
hope,

Housecleaning Takes
Place. In Va. Politics

First and foremost Miller says he aims to
"set Virginia free from corrupt machine that
despises the people, that wants to see as few
words, his campaign speeches explain why he's
fighting totalitarianism and he uses that
jawbreaker word without apology - both at
home and abroad.
"The straw that broke this camels back"
he tells his listeners" was Senator Byrds vote
against the Marshall plan" The state that
claims jefferson and Madison and Monroe
should continue to choose leaders who are
willing to look ahead and support measures to
realize the democratic dream at home and
abroad, he says eloquently. In a campaign
where the other contenders are talking patron
age division of state funds, and such-lke mat
ters, Miller is getting the most enthusiastic re-
sponse when he asserts that, before school fl
nancing conservation and other such prob
lens can be faced tn estate must be freed of
the machine.
Totalitarians of either the Communist or
the Byrd variety come in for Miller's attacks
Both he tells his audiences don't trust the
mass of people and they want as few people
as possible to vote" Both would set up class
against class. Both use the lie as a political
weapon. Il am fighting here those totaltarian
methods I have seen in Europe for years."
Miller asserts
"Politics is a good word" the candidate
tells his audiences. "It means concern with the
public interest" Whether or not he wins, vir-
ginians agree that his campaign is serving as
a history making rallying point for believers
in the democratic way in a state where the
party of that name has for 20 years been drag
ging the word democrat in the mire.

more money if he is a member of a good
organized union.
MR.. JACOBS. Oh, let's get him or

Now, he goes to his employer by him

been organized. Some of these outsiders
have come in and talked with the boys.
They have taken them up on the high hill
and shown them the green pastures, and
have said, "You can get more money if
you work at it, and get together" A union
committee goes in, and they say, "These
men out here are organized. If you do not
believe it go out and talk to them. They
are tired of working for 40 cents an hour"
And the union makes little survey, and
finds out that it is the truth, and they say,
Nov we want IS cents an hour and not
40 cents an hour"
Well, this fellow starts thinking about
his big estate out there close to Mobiles
ville-that is the big estate north of Indi-
anapolis-and he has 35 servants he has to
pay in order to live in the style to which
he has become accustomed. He does not
want that factory shut down, does he? He
figures if the men walk out, the factory
will be shut down. Do you not think he
would come little nearer talking about
paying more wages?
MR.. KING Undoubtedly.
MR.. JACOBS. So if he pays a little
more wages, then the people can buy these
goods. That happens generally all over the
country. And instead of this money going
into a 40-acre estate near Noblesville,
some people living down on Senate Ave-
nue., without refrigerators and plumbing,
begin to buy those things, do they not?
MR.. KING They might.
MR. JACOBS Well they will, will
they not?
MR.. KING. If they have the money.
MR. JACOBS. AS an economist, do you
not think they would?
MR., KING Yes; they will
MR.. JACOBS. Then this fellow in hi
factory finds he is making narrower
margin of profit, but instead of turning
Oul iOO d way, iidyDc HS
starts turning out 1000 refrigerators a
day, is that right?
MR.. KING. 1t might be.
MR.. JACOBS. So, maybe he is making
as much or more money than he ever made
before.
MR.. KING. Possibly.
MR.. JACOBS. And everybody has
more of the good things of life to enjoy, is
that not right?
MR.. KING. Yes; suppose so.
MR.. JACOBS. AS an economist do you
agree with me up to that point?
MR.. KING. Yes.

1t wasn't unique for Burke,

One of the most memorable
events at Auto Workers con-

Pres. Walter Reuther told de-
legates:
II am about to introduce a
fellow that I have been very
close to for a long time, both
in the work of the union and
in a family kind of way"
The fellow" was Walters
brother, Victor, UAW educa-
tional director. Like Walter,
he had been shot down brut-
ally by a would-be assassin.
Victor came to the UAW
Milwaukee convention just a
week after he'd left the hos
pital. There, his right eye had
been removed and he wat
treated for a number of other
Injuries caused by gun blast.
Victor told delegates: "Just
as we are known for our
friends, we are also known
for our enemies. And just as
we take pride in our many
friends, l think we can take
pride in the other character
of our enemies.
Where you find the cham
pions of bigotry and hatred

find the veste d interests,
where you find individuals
and organizations who are
bent upon stamping out free
dom or who foster totalitari-

w nitely in the interest of
both labor and business, and
especially in the interest OF
the nation"
Union members have been
saying that for a long time.
Now comes Robert R. Nathan,
one of the country's leading
economists, who reaches same
conclusion after finishing a
deep and objective study of
this country's economic mach
inery.
The Nathan Report, prepar-
ed for CIO at the direction of
President Phil Murray, en-
phasizes again and again that
more buying power is an ov-
erwhelming must to get us
out of recession.
X
Nathan pointed out that while
some industries are already
depressed, others are still wal
lowing in heavy profits,
Looking at future, Nathan
doesn't see indications that
"maior depression" is "immi-
nent." He does feel that now,
while production and profits
are still generally high, is best
time for moderate action" to
lick recession. Otherwise the
patient will be sicker, more
drastic remedies will be need
ed, later on. On basis of past
few months, however, he sees
mo substantial assurance that
recession will be short and
mild"
Nathan also takes healthy
swat at thinking of some busi-
ness-minded citizens, in gov
ernment and industry, that re-
cession is a healthy" sweat
ing out of surplus fat.
There's nothing healthy in
an economic adjustment which
brings unemployment to mil
lions of workers, bankruptcy
to large numbers of small
businesses, an d widespread
curtailment of standards of
living"
President Truman's mid
year report to Congress on
country's economic tempera-
ture agreed in many ways
with Nathan'S analysis. He,
too, said there's nothing
healthy about more unemploy-
ment or less production"
Presidents report must
have brought bushes to Sec
retary of Treasury Snyder,
one of the conservatives in
the Cabinet, He'd just written
widely-a advertised article in
Golfers Magazine arguing
that re ssion is just a
healthy" readjustment.
But Fair Dealers don't
think so - and, needless to
say, neither do the folks who
are out of jobs.
Once in u. S. Senate has
finished long debate on North
Atlantic Pact, next item on
agenda is scheduled to be Sen
ate bill to improve minimum
wage. Bill has taken much
longer in Congress than even
most pessimistic OBJ erv r
would have thought last jan
uary.
After all, both Democratic
and Republican pla t f o m S
pumped heavily for increas-
ing minimum pay rate, now at
same 40c level it's held since
1910.
