towns. Until then, temporary
councils m age affairs under
government supervision and with
government subsidies. Where fin
al municipal status has been &C
corded the inhabitants h
proved ready to assume the fl
nancial responsibilities involved.
In such resettled abandoned
towns as are still under military
government, municipalities are
headed by representatives of the
military governor and the Minis
try of the Interior.
The military until now object
ed in principle to municipal cleo
tons in areas still governed by
them because of their generally
overwhelming Arab population.
But since the central government
wishes to transfer to the 1nhaD1t-
ants the load of education and
other expenses now borne by it
directly, a compromise has been
reached permitting the munich
palization of all but about ninety
Arab villages. The first on the list
are those whose inhabitants as
sisted our forces and even fought
in our minority units during the
war of independence. Naturally,
the inhabitants of backward areas
are O TT e n not interested in the
change, and in some localities the
literacy rate is too low to permit
it. In one village which never was
under military government the
usual bitter inter-family feuds
have completely paralyzed a tenn
porary council constituted by
agreement of all factions, and the
situation promises to be similar
in number of others.

Elected in the various types of
regional charters. Fears have been
voiced that regional authorities
based in villages might tend to
restrict the further development
of existing towns. But, although
villages situated at the outskirts
of towns generally object to their
inclusion in town-planning areas
in the course of the current pro-
cess of extention of city limits,
the government and JeWi S h
Agency central planning authori-
ties in practice supersede possible
restrictive tendencies. AS the big
gest landowners in the country,
they are constantly founding new
settlements and towns without
even requesting the opinion of
established neighbors, and as a
matter of fact villages are usual

tracts of national land held by
them on a practically intermina-

after they failed in election to ma

what the salaries were and through
a biased, unfair, anti-iabor Judge
a court decision was issued in
terfering with our democratic
rights to function as a trade union.
Are we to understand the Demo-
cratic party in Columbiana County
through its placing in two strategic
positions Attorney Louis Tobin,
that the party is aligned with the
Taft-Lausche anti-labor forces
May we ask why the Democratic
Central Committee in Columbiana

having place on the Columbiana

County Chairman Of the Demo-

own members who preceded Tobin
in activity in the party, who rend-

Green BIisfers Taft In Address
To Ohio Sfufe Labor Convention

Columbus, Ohio (LPA)-If Ohio
voters send Robert A. Taft bach
to the Senate this fall they viii
commit a "tragic era" AFL Pres
ident William Green told delegates
to the 65th convention of the Ohio
Federation of Labor on Aug. %.
In a blistering frontal attack or
Taft, the veteran leader urged his
audience to elect the Democratic
nominee for the Senate, Joseph
Ferguson. He described Ferguson
as "a loyal liberal, a loyal support
er of Americas foreign policy, a
public servant who is not only close
to the people but responsive to
their needs" Green said he was
completely confident" that Fer
guson, state auditor, would serve
Ohio and the nation we'll.
The AFL president hit Taft as
"the candidate of the profiteers
and the isolationists, and as "the
public defender of these selfish in
terests which seek to reap a har-
vest out of the national emer-
gency." Taft learned nothing from
his mistakes during World War ii,
Green observed.
Taft first underestimated the
Nazis and the japanese, Green
said, then did Everything in his
power to weaken and finally kill
price control, exposing the Ameri-
can people to conscienceless pro-
fiteering." Moreover, Green con-
tinued, Taft has been opposing con-,
trolls and excess profit taxes this
summer although "the profiteers
are robbing the American people
again."
He quoted Taft as saying "price
control is not necessary at this
time," and said the Ohio Senator's
"first concern" was "to protect the
interests of business" He called
upon Ohio housewives to mark
what Taft has been saying about
the present emergency and asked:
"Are the women voters of Ohio,
who know that the cost of living
has jumped sky-high in the last
month due to profiteering, going
to vote for a candidate who thus
ignores their interest? ?"
Green characterized Taft as a |
prize obstructionist." He declared
that in the present international
,risis President Truman and Con-
yress SHOULD work together as a
,eam," adding that Taft "never has
and never will cooperate with the
President" Taft's thinking Green
said, "stems from narrow, partisan,
jealousy and is based upon
| peculiar philosophy that the gov
should follow a do-nothing
policy which would render it help
ess to deal with national emer-
yencies.

Higher prices for tires and gaso-

have already gone up, but even
more hikes will appear in the

comparison shopping, since some
merchants are boosting prices fast
er than others.
"But there's no use trying to-
BUY too far ahead even if you have

warns, because prices could bounce
back again as moderate-income
are crowded out of the
market, and commercial hoarders|
and spectators over-extend them
selves, especially if the war doesn't
spread further"
Margolius says that price rises
are beginning to show up on shoes
and home furnishings. There's mol
reason for the rising price of nylon
he says, but there is a
genuine shortage of wool, with re-
;ulting higher prices which mean
purchasers should avoid buyingl

The Danger Of Over-Reoching
By RUTH TAYLOR

One Of the most harmful effects
of group thinking is its tendency
to create over-reaching ambitions
within the group itself. That is, the
group may start with good idea,
a worthwhile fight for a deserved
right, but once this is attained, its
members are not content. They
have tasted the wine Of the power
of teamwork, and they over-reach
themselves to go out after privi-
leges. Then, in their search for
power, they, too often, in turn
trample on the rights of others.
Again and again in history has
this happened, from the Rule of
the Ten in Rome in the year 367
B.C.-and even before-up to the
present time. There is nothing so
intolerant as the intolerance of
those who have fought their way
to power They have so concentrat-
ed on their own struggle that they
have been prone to overlook the
fact that other people have to live,
too.
Up to now one of the great ad-
vantages of our republic has been
that it was never static long en-
ough for any group to keep control
too long. The country was too big,
too varied in its resources, to be
but fluid. Founded upon
religious freedom, religious auto
cracy has never been allowed al
foothold. Not erected upon a class
structure, it has not divided into
classes-for in each generation
men have found their own level as
not as a group or
groups. The classic phrase is
''three generations from shirt
sleeves to shirt sleeves"
Lately, however, there has been
an increasing tendency to separate
into groups, or cliques, governed
by ideas. This trend is definitely |
dangerous-for any group which
claims unique revelations or poll
tical preferment is divisive influ-
ence aiming at physical, economic
Or mental domination over others.
1t is the breeder of dissension and
among our people.
When Americans put the inter-
ests of their own group before the
interests of America as a whole,
hey are setting up in our country
he breeding grounds for disputes,
he like of which laid waste Europe
or centuries. Whether those in
erests be special concessions for
or special privileges for
.abor; whether they be special con-
ideration for any religious group
n special favors for any minority.
hey still spell over-reaching. There
$ no group whose record is guilt
ess in this respect.
Justice for all, equal in its ap-
'lication, should be our aim as
americans. Before we make a de-
nand, we should figure out if we
re asking for a favor or a right
and if we are willing that the {
ame right or favor be granted to :
The primary fallacy in
,gic is arguing from the individual {
D the group. II
We are a government, of the
eople and for the people. But we
an fulfill our destiny as a nation {
My as the individual citizens, ac-
ng not as groups, but as Ameri-
ans, work for the good of all the
all America.

Plans for mobilization in case o1
emergency would have to include
participation by women, said Miss
Frieda S, Miller, director of the
Women's Bureau, U. S. Depart
ment of Labor. "They constitute
the only sizeable labor reservoir
for industrial production, for essen
tial volunteer work, and they have
an established position in the arm
ed services" Miss Miller pointed
out.
Those who are responsible for
planning twill need to let women
know that there is full respect and
recognition of their potential con-
tribution and that they are equal
partners in the undertaking. Any
plan for women's participation in
mobilized economy must recog-
nize and make provision for their
other essential contributions to the
life of the nation. Mothers of young
children and other women who have
full-time family responsibilities
must have these basic obligations
honored."
The task of disaster work in
civilian defense would fall mainly
on women, Miss Miller pointed out.
Homemakers, with their skills and
experience in housekeeping, have
Invaluable preparation for the pro-
vision of feeding, shelter, nursing
aid, and other essentials to the
of national morale,
she said. "My experience convinces
me that American women will rise
fully to whatever they might need
to do. The big job is to develop
channels and an understanding of
how they can best prepare and or
ganize themselves for responsible
participation"
