MINERS:
Gosh, Please!

In most of the long, involved
struggle of the coal miners and
their leader, John L. Lewis, VS.. the
coal operators, the workers were
able to continue credit at company
stores and thus manage to exist
through long strike periods.
In the current phase of the ever
recurrent controversy, that was the
case until few weeks ago when
rebel miners, bucking Lewis
three-day work week order, went on
strike. Shutdowns occurred in six
coal-producing states as rowing
bands of pickets flouted Lewis
leadership.
THE UNITED MINE WORKER
rebels declared they were tired of
working a three-day week and
wanted Showdown" in their dis
pute with the operators. They were
falling back on the old miner slo-
gan: No CONTRACTING work"
But this time they encountered
move which would have grave
effect on their position. Mine own
ers replied with a policy of their
own: NO work-no credit" Sew
eral large companies, including
U. S. Steel and most southern op-
orators, told the miners they would
get no more credit at company
stores while they stayed away from
work.
ONE INDUSTRY LEADER esti-
mated that miners had received
60 million dollars in credit since
the 'no-day-week" and the three
day week went into effect. Others
said it was just bad business to
keep extending credit under such
conditions.
Thus there appeared to be build
ing up situation rife with danger
Gus possibilities. If the strike con-
tinued and miners and their faIni-
lies faced actual hunger and want,
there could be trouble a-plenty.

TRUMAN:
up & At En-!

Apparently eager to accept every
rebuff as challenger, President
Truman let it be known that he
would flight all summer" if nee.
essary, to obtain congressional ap-
proval of his civic rights program.
THE PRESIDENT made it very
plain that he desires every mem.
Der of congress to be put on rec
ord regarding the program. The
highly controversial issue for
which the President is still battling
caused split il the Democratic
party ranks during the l94S presi-
dental campaign-and promises to
do so again.
The President was particularly
incensed with the coalition of south
ern Democrats and northern Re-
publicans which stands ready to
oppose the program to the last
ditch.
The measure over which there
has been such bitter recrimina
tons would establish a federal
commission to combat discrimina
~tot1 AL tiiC LII ing VI NeRTOeS ana
other minority groups.
THE SOUTH, usually rock
ribbed in its stand for the Demo
Gratis, doesn't want the measure,
and its representatives are pre-
pared to resist it in every way
possible, the usual recourse being
parliamentary procedure and the
rules of the senate.
Precipitation of the row came
with the effort by opponents of the
program to do away with house
rule which would let the house
take away from committee a bill
bottled up for as many as 81 days.
Until last year the house rules COM
mittee could stifle legislation to a
great degree by holding up such
bills as it chose. Now, Truman's
opponents want that power re-
stored.
Mr.. Truman was hoping the
maneuver would be defeated.

President Opens
Historic Pageant
BY Alice A. Dunnigan

WASHINGTON CAMP The
curtain of time was pulled back
by the 32nd President Of the
United States last Friday night,
revealing the birth of the Nations
capital and Displaying the early
life of the country's- first Presi-
George Washington.
More than 1000 invited guests
were on hand at the formal de-
diction Of the new $56O,OOO Rock
Creek amphitheater and witnessed
the great historical sesquicenten-
NAL drama Faith of Our Fathers
President Truman pushed the
button starting the performance
and signaled the opening Of the
pageant for a capacity premiere
audience.
The President Greeted
President Truman and his party
arrived at the beautiful, rustic,
outdoor theatre about $3.50 "cur-
tain time", and was greeted with
"Hail to the Chief" played by the
white-uniformed Navy band.
He, Mrs. Truman, Margaret
and their weekend guests were es-
corted to the PRESIDENTS box by
Carter Garron, Sesqui commission
vice chairman, who delivered the
dedication address.
The president was handed the
signal apparatus by Paul Green,
author of the much publicized his
toric play. Mr.. Truman pushed
the button and the show was on.
Interracial Cast
AS the three powerful search
lights criss-crossed the sky above
the scenic theatrical bowl which
nestles in the midst of tall green
trees in the heart of historic Rock
Creek park, and the deep purple
spot light flooded the 78-foot
stage, the ~interracial chorus was
visible. This chorus of some 80
voices made an exquisite sight as
it stood between the two archs of
stone, clad in deep blue robes de-
corated on the left shoulder with
a hugh silver star, and their voices
rang out in the National Antheme.

Other Peoples
Faith

By William Henry Huff for AMP
What right have I to interfer
With how another serves his God;
I have my own big cross to bear.
And I possess no measuring rod
By which to judge another's
creed.
IT'S mine to daily look within
That I may find out what I need
And then with fervent heart begin
To mend the broken fence that's
mine;
That is what everyone should do.
All, that should be all mems de-
sign,
If so, our troubles would be few.

Will The Negro
Fight The Reds

By Harry Levette
What do you sayspow, you who
ranted loud
That it would be "unspeakable'
to think
Negroes would bear arms against
Russia? Vowed
That we'd refuse while at wars
threatening brink?
No one has tarried. Men of the
brave oath
AS in all wars leaped fiercely
to their posts;
They met the Red spawn from
Korea's north,
Battling till death, against far
outnumbering hosts.
Where go the Stars and Stripes,
the Negro needs the call
For American will all it's faults
is best after all.

Frederick O'NeaIPraises Richard

we had finished shooting m of
the thrilling scenes, Widmark
came over where I was standing
and asked, We'll, how did it look?
What kind of a guy do you think

will say?'
"For a minute, I couldn't an
swer. Widmark had done such a
terrifically impressive and real
istic bit of acting, I had no an

"Then, a slow smile spread over
his face and he said, I know what

knew then that he had been mere
ly acting his part, And he is a
heck of an actor, believe me.
When you see the film, you'll
hate his quits. He has a nasty role,
but he plays it for all it's worth.
Widmark is a real actor"
Unfortunately, O'Neal's part in
the picture was cut as were some
of the other scenes The entire
ending was changed from the or
iginal, but with these changes,
the picture still remains what o.
Neal had said, ga terrific indict-
ment that pulls no punches and
leaves nothing to the magma
