Columbus - Joining the ranks
of newspapers which have con-
demned Senator Robert A. Tafts
role in the Mccarthy smear cam
paign, the st. Louis (Mo) Post
Dispatch has verbally spanked
the Ohio solon.
The st. Louis newspaper took
sharp issue with Taft's recent
statement that, ''By the pro-
Communist policies of our State
Department, we have permitted
Russia to take over all China
and threaten to absorb the en-
tire Far East"
These words are typical of
Senator Mccarthy" the news
paper said.
II then proceeded to point out
that "The United States support

Automatic is pulling a lot of
neat stunts to take that other
10 per cent of the business
away, too.
Automatic and its officers and
certain employees, tell prospec-
tive customers, according to the
ETC, that the competitors
product makes fraud possible,
because the voting machine can
be manipulated; that the COM
petitor's machine won't last
more than five to six years; that
the motor in the competitor S
machine is inefficient; that the
competitors financial stability is
questionable, and its manufac-
turing, selling and servicing ex-
perience is inadequate.
How true are these statements
of the Automatic? The FTC says
that engineers and government
officials have studied both types
of voting machines, looked into
the other charges made by Auto
matte, and that the charges have
no basis in fact.
Toledo union journal. [volume] (Toledo, Ohio) 1942-current, 1950-06-02

But the government keeps
coming along with antitrust
suits, and the Federal Trade
Commission keeps issuing COM
plants, showing that the very
last thing the big boys want is
free enterprise and free COM
petition; that they resort to all
sorts of skullduggery to stifle
competition.
The latest example is the COM
plant issued by the ETC against
the Automatic Voting Machine
Corp. of jamestown, N. Y. Now,
a complaint is merely a charge,
but the FTC makes no charges,
and issues no complaints, with
out thorough investigation. And
its charges against the Auto
matte Corp. make very interest
ing reading, for the Automatic
sells 80 per cent of all the vot-
ing machines used in this coun-
try. It's only competitor pro.
vides the other 10 per cent
Shouldn't Automatic be happy
and let the other guy alone?

But that isn't all that Auto

competitors machines, Auto

Taft labeled as "the CIO pro-

Columbus, Ohio - Senator
Taft, long the No. ] spokesman
for Big Business in the National
Congress, has revealed plans for
sweeping anti-Labor laws de-
signed to toughen up the Taft

In an exclusive interview in

tive magazine published by col
umnist David Lawrence, Taft

Under consideration, or at

three major anti-Labor measures,

for wrecking individual Unior
