should illustrate just how far
some politicians are behind
our tim e S. For years the
voters have felt it would be
much better for our country
as a whole if the Republicans
embraced enough liberalism
to quit opposing liberal legis-
lation as a matter of prin-
ciple.
To me Senator Taft's admoni-
tion of the Republicans means
one thing-he is apprehensive a
bout the 1850 election when he
will again come up for re-elec-
ton. Practically all of his poll
teal life Taft has talked out of
one side of his mouth. The side
he talked out of was the one
that hurt those who worked for
a living. He has confused and
fooled a lot Of voters but in the
last election his political tricks
did not function so we'll and he
was nearly defeated.
All of us should constantly re-
member Taft was the chief in
stigator of the Taft Hartley Act.
Political manueverings presently
indicate the Senator would like
TO get his name removed from
the Act by having some other
bill substituted.
Senator Taft seems to have a
change of heart at a very con-
venient time. His conversion
came swift and sudden, he wants
the Republicans to change the
very things he has been sponsor
ing for years. If Taft had lis
tened to the voters who must
work for their living each work
day, he will find that he is years
behind in his little speech TO the
Republicans. The little guy who
doesn't know one thing about
politics has said the same things
for a long time
Politicians, like the Senator,
do not change their ideas over
night unless they see the hand
writing on the wall. This is an
excellent example of political
expediency, and it may work.
Practically all of organized la
Dor is committed TO the task of
defeating Taft in 1850 and the
Senator'S change Of pace should
make us work much harder to
accomplish our task.
All of us are TO prone TO for
get incidents that happen in the
past therefore Taft may be able
TO take on a New Look, make a
good campaign with the flavor
of liberalism, and squeeze thru
10 another six years in the Sen
ate. We should also be mindful
too that the co-sponsor Of the
Taft-Hartley Act has his eye on
the presidential nomination In
the 1852 race. II this is a pro.
per assumption the defeat OF
Taft in 1850 will go a long way
to spoil his nomination for the
presidency in 1852, For this
reason the fight in 1850 will
have nationwide significance.
Senator Taft has admitted he
was wrong in 10 different places
in the Taft-Hartley Act. Now he
has come out boldly in critizing
the Republican party for the
very things he has advocated for
years. In other words he doesn't
like the stale economics he has
been peddling and wants to
change his theories in time to
convince the voters of Ohio he
should get another trip to the
Senate.
! believe the voters are intel
ligent enough 10 see thru this
political conniving and will fail
TO 20 along with Taft in his
pseduo. liberalism.

Both Sides Claim Victory

families eligible for public hous-
ing. Families with incomes be-
low $4,000, with an additional
$500 allowance for each child
would be eligible for admit
tance.
Committee Chairman James
Carney Cd, Cuyahoga), spoke
against public housing when the
committee met behind closed
doors, but did not vote on either
bill. Carney's position indicates
small bloc of Democrats may
join with the Republicans to
fight public housing, all of which
points to rough going on the
floor of the House. The six "no"
votes came from rural Repub-
licans, Harry Bells (Delphos),
Reed Essex (Paulding), Roy
Longenecker (Pembervile), Sam
Nicely (Blanchester), Frank
Peirce (Collins) and Walter
Penny (Radnor).
A slum clearance bill, with no
public housing provision, sailed
through the House Tuesday 100
to 8, with the backing of the
real estate lobby which is fight
ing public housing. Governor
Lausche has. warned he will
veto urban redevelopment un-
less public housing also passes.
Baby Wagner Act

employers who have succeeded
in blocking Unions because they
didn't come under federal reg
ulation.
CIO spokesmen pointed out
that presently the worker in in
tra-state commerce is at the
complete mercy of the employer,
subject to firing if he breathes
a word about Unions. The Ohio
CIO Council told the Committee,
mo longer can this state afford
to permit a substantial segment
of its worker population to be
submitted to the complete tyran-
ny of the boss"
Opposition came from the

ufacturers Association, who re-
versed the stand they took two
years ago in supporting the Van
AIKEN bill. Then they claimed
workers in intra-state commerce
should be controlled by restric-
tive anti-Labor legislation. To-
day they said state control
wasn't needed since "only
quarter of million workers are
involved" - too tiny a number
for Ohio to be interested.
