where. Now we must stand ready
to make that machinery work.
We do not know what will be
asked of us in the days ahead. We
cannot tell how long we will have
to endure, nor what will be the ten
sion put upon us. But we do know
that we must be ready to do our
share in work, in money-in sacri-
flee. We must pull our part of the
load, putting aside personal de-
sires and prejudices, proving again
as We have in the past-that we
are a nation united, standing by
our duly elected authorities, ac-
cepting necessary restrictions in
good spirit, serving as best we can
wherever we are of the most use.
The foresight we need is the kind
that looks beyond the present
crisis to the goal which we have
set-a goal of peace on earth and
fair play for all. We have been
given another chance to prove our
desire to attain that end. 1t is up
to us how we use that opportun-
itV.

FORESIGHT NEEDED
BY RUTH TAYLOR

Now, while the battle RACES on
the Korean front, there is another
battle raging on the home front
battle of words. Those to whom
talk is more important than action
are trying to place the blame-on
anyone but themselves. Those who
argued for cuts in arms appropria-
tions have forgotten their previous
stand and are waving the flag for
all they are worth. Too many of
those who saw the danger are de-
voting themselves to shouting 81
told you so" and trying to pat
themselves on the back.
But what we need now isn't hind
sight, but foresight. Of course it
was all plain to see-if we had
wanted to look. But no, we were
too interested in ourselves, in our
groups wishes, in what we wanted
out of life. And all the talk in the
world won't change that picture.
There isn't any use in going into
what has happened. We must put
aside the indoor sport of post
mortems and look ahead. Whether
we call it policing for the United
Nations, or preventing the fur
ther spread of communism, it still
remains a war. American lives are
being lost, American boys are be-
ing called up, and each and every
one of us needs to look ahead.
| do not mean that we are to be-
come armchair strategists and
plan out the course of the war.
That is up to the military. ! do
not mean that we are to become
cracker-box philosophers and map
our governments policy. We elect
ed men to do just that.
| mean that, as individuals, we
must look ahead. We must recog-
nize that this is our crisis, that we
have a part in it, a role to play.
We said we wanted peace, not only
for our time, but for all time. Sol
we set machinery to curb aggres-
sion, for we had learned at too dearI
a cost that the only security forl

Green Pays Honor
To hatters' Chief

New York (LPA)-"The history
Of the union is largely the history
Of Max Zaritsky", said AFL pres
ident William Green about the
United Hatters' retired president
at a testimonial dinner in his
honor, here July 81.
Green praised Zaritsky for his
Humanitarian viewpoint" and the
way he led his members to "look
beyond their particular benches to-
wards the broader problems affect
ing organized labor throughout the
world" "At a time when many in
the union wanted to lay the en-
phasis on the relations within the
individual shop, Zaritsky held that
developing genuine collective bar
gaining was the important thing"
Green declared that events have
proven Zaritsky right when he
said, "If you deal individually, you
must have chaos, you must have
anarchy"
Green also complimented Zarit-
sky on his victory in the 25-year
fight against dual unionism. He
credited Zaritsky with the final
merger in 1884 Of the two unions
in the headwear industry and said
that since that time he had sue
ceeded in building a unified organ
iZation.
Others at the dinner included
David Dubinsky, president of the
L aides $ Garment
Workers: Louis Waldman, labor
lawyer; Adolph Held, chairman of
the Jewish Labor Committee; Nor
man Thomas, leader of the Social
ist Party, and Representatives of
the Social Democratic Federation,

Council, the Workmen's Circle, the

cation.

Labor Using New Book As
so Campaign Ammunition

Washington (LPA) - The cold
turkey facts about labor's chances
in the 1850 election are contained
in new book, "The Mid-Term
Battle" The book has been highly
praised by the political directors
of the AFL and CIO, as ammuni-
tion for campaign workers.
The author is Louis H. Bean, one
of the very few Washington poll
tical writer's to predict a Demo
cratic victory in 1948. His current
book is in effect a guidebook.
Here is what Joseph d. Keenan,,
director of Labor's League for
Political Education, wrote in the
AFL Federationist: every AFL
official ought to buy a copy. After
a quick run through this book, you
will stop flexing your muscles over
past successes and get down to
work with cold perspiration on your
brow"
And Jack Kroll, head Of PAC,
says the book SHOWS as clearly as
possible that it is the ward by
ward, precinct by precinct job of
getting people registered and get
ting them to the polls on Election
Day that counts. All the rest is
frosting on the cake"
So enthusiastic are the labor
political directors about the book
that they ordered thousands of
copies to send to key workers even
before the book was off the press.
Among those who ordered copies by
the thousands were Labor's League
for Political Education, Americans
for Democratic Action, the Demo-
cratic National Committee, and the
co-operatives.
An article based on the book ap-
pears in the August Is issue of
Look magazine (2,900,C00 circula-
tion.)
Bean, economic adviser to the
Secretary of Agriculture, is al
facts and-figures man, an analyst,
and not a star-gaZer. He has stud
led the returns in past elections,
and on that basis, points out whereI
and how labor can win-if it goes
to work.
He notes, what labor leaders,
have stressed, that in non-pres-
idential years, the total vote falls;
and that low turnout at the polls
spells defeat for liberal congress-
men and progressive legislation.
The key to a labor victory this fall,
he proves by charts and figures,
IS large registration and heavyl
And the charts and figures
show just where labor's best op-I
Dortunities lie.
The book was highly praised at
4 meeting of AFL labor paper edi-
,ors in Washington July 19. 1t was
praised not only by keenan, but by
lis assistant, Glen Slaughter, and
)y Tom Duncan of LLPE.

at home. Consequently, it was
urged that it was absolutely nee
essary that labor go to the polls
in November.
The statement added that the
1850 primaries had already dis
closed that 9abor's enemies have
unlimited funds to spend and will
stoop to any depth to achieve vic
tory" This point was also stressed
by Director keenan, and Philip
Hannah, secretary-treasurer of the
Ohio State Federation of Labor.
Hannah told the labor leaders he
was confident that a big labor
farmer vote in Ohio could beat Re-
publican Senator Robert A. Taft.
The former Assistant Secretary of
Labor said there was now in Ohio
a "great coalition" Of all labor
embracing The AFL, the CIO, the
United Mine Workers and railway
labor organizations. Joseph Fer
guson, the Democratic Senatorial
candidate, he continued, "is the
best vote-getter in Ohio"
Says Labor Spirit Will Win
Hannah said there had been a
shift in the farm vote in Ohio. He
insisted that "Taft and the Repub-
lican party do not have the farm
ers in their pockets" Too much
emphasis has been put on finances,
said Hannah.
eve can only match the Repub-
lican dollars with pennies but our
spirit will win," he asserted.
The Taft forces, he added, have
organized the medical profession,
hotel keepers and women but he
expressed confidence that the Re-
publican propaganda would be beat
en- "by the truth"

w a yne County Federation of
Labor, told of the drive by doctors
in Michigan against federal health
insurance and Representative John
D. Dingell, author of a bill to put
it into effect.

Senators Told
(Continued From Page One)

Wherry tried to punch the subcom-
mittee counsel, Edward P. Morgan.
When the uproar drew attention
Wherry asked for a vote to have
Morgan thrown off the floor of
the Senate. Like the three votes on
the report, it was along party
lines, except that Wayne Morse
Or, Ore voted to let Morgan stay.
While not asking for it directly,
Tydings clearly was trying to get
a Senate censure of Mccarthy.
The position of Senator, he said
pointedly, is one of tremendous
eminence, degraded though it may
have been at times in its history"
and Gin the public mind generally,
when Senator speaks, the thought
is, 1t must be So
There are the facts for the
Senators to ponder" he said after

Though many Republican speak
ers attacked the Committee inves-
tigation as "superficial", none
tried to defend McCarthy's actions
or statements.

The judges ruling brought to an
abrupt end the case which had at
tracted widespread attention in
school circles over the state. More
than score of witnesses who had
been summoned in the case did not
testify.
The suit was brought by Mrs.
Lantz for two years salary in the
sum Of $4,884 for the 194849 and
1949-50 terms during which time
she was not permitted to teach.
She. also asked restoration to her
teaching position. The board of edu-
cation claimed she is on total and
permanent disability retirement.
Judge Tudor decided that Mrs.
Lantz was not entitled to any COM
pensation from the defense. Court
costs were equally divided. Mrs.
Lants holds a contract status of five
years from September, 1948, during
which time if the State Teachers
Retirement board certifies after re-
examination that she is physically
and mentally able to teach, she may
be offered position or reasons CIV
en- why position is not available.
