Washington (LPA) - 1t looks
like another contempt citation for
DR.. Edward A. Rumely, executive
secretary of the Committee for
Constitutional Government, top
anti-labor lobby. On June 6, Rune
ly flatly refused to tell the House
Select Committee on Lobbying Ac-
tivities the names of the individu-
ais, corporations and institutions
which place bulk orders for such
CCG publications as John I.
Flynn's anti-Fairdealing "The Road
Ahead"
Also open to contempt action is
Joseph p. Kamp, executive vice
chairman of the equally anti-labor
Constitutional Educational League,
for refusing to supply correspond
ing information about his organiZa-
tion. Kamp, having lost an appeal
to the Supreme Court, is already
under sentence to serve a prison
term for declining to produce re-
cords for an earlier investigating
committee.
Merwin X. Hart, president of the
National Economic Council, and
long a spokesman for Spanish die
tator Francisco Franco, did pro-
duce the record of his group, how
ever. Hart, Kamp and Rumely had
been subpoenaed to appear by Rep
Frank Buchanan Cd, Pa.), chair
man of the lobby probe, after they
baked at identifying their financial
hackers voluntarily.
When he announced May 26 that
he was issuing the subpoenas, Buch-
anan voiced his belief that the Com
mittee for Constitutional Govern
ment is the parent organization OF
a lobby network which is trying to
destroy the Fair Deal and smother
organized labor. At that time, the
Pennsylvania l. beral said he
thought that information about
their financial support would re-
veal that Kamp and Hart's groups
are directly linked to the CCG. He
indicated that other organizations
probably would be involved and
apparently he hoped to prove the
existence of the network.
The hearing June 6 was a Donny-
brook Fair, with Democratic mem
bers of the lobbying committee ar
rayed against the Republican min
ority and the witnesses. First off,
the Republicans didn't show up.
Buchanan deliberately d e a y d
opening the proceedings because he
wanted a four-man quorum present
in case a contempt situation deve-
loped. The Supreme Court has ruled
that quorum must be present for
contempt to be upheld. Since one
of the four Democratic members
was absent for the California prim-
aries, Buchanan needed at least one
Republican. Finally Republicans

Midwestern organized labor de-
servedly assumes leadership in an
issue which has kept public opin-
ion in an uproar for many year,
the great st. Lawrence Seaway
project. At recent conference in
Chicago, called expressly for the
purpose of uniting labor behind the
proposed waterway, union delegates
from Wisconsin, Michigan, Mime
sofa, Illinois and Indiana unanim-
ously approved a resolution asking
the American Federation Of Labor
to maintain a hands-off policy at
its convention this coming Septem-
Der and "leave the seaway matter
to labor bodies in the areas affect
ed"
BY the time the AFL, CIO and
other annual union gatherings roll
around, the Midwesterners hope to
have gained the support of other
labor groups and to mobilize the
strength of the American trade
union movement on the side of an
engineering project which they be-
lieve is vitally important to the
economy of the nation.
= :: :.
The proposed st. Lawrence Sea-
way acquires still greater signific-
ance when we consider that the in
lustrial Midwest, fittingly describ-
ed as the American "Ruhr," pro-
duces nearly AS percent Of the steel
capacity of the country. Twenty
seven percent of the nations pro-
duction force and 68.6 percent of
the workers employed in the auto
motive and related industries are
located in that area.
Not to build the seaway in the
near future is, as industrial and
labor spokesmen stated at hear
ing Of the House Public Works
Committee, to force the steel in
dustry (already endangered by the
expected depletion of domestic ore
supplies within II years at the pre-
sent rate of consumption to shift
toward the eastern seaboard and
jeopardize the livelihood of mill
ions of industrial workers and their
families.
From the viewpoint of national
security and peacetime industrial
requirements, President Truman
has repeatedly pointed out, the St.
Lawrence project is matter of
urgency. Spokesman of the federal
administration have also comment
ed on the economic, social and tech
biological advantages the Seaway
would bring to the nation. Accord
ing to u. S. Secretary of Com
merce Charles Sawyer, the new in
land water route, by attracting
from 81 to "a million tons of cargo
a year, would encourage the de-
velopment of other transportation
means and furnish much-needed
employment in the maritime, con-
struction and other trades.
:: !: :.
George A. Haberman, president
of the Wisconsin State Federation
of Labor and the prime mover of
the Chicago conference, said the
other day:
at is almost inconceivable
that in the light of world af-
fairs today, the seaway should
continue to receive opposition
from special interest groups
who, without justification, fear
its competitive effect. If the
whole history of the United
States had been controlled by
this kind of philosophy. the

Top Anfi-Lobor Lobby Defies
House Group, Won't Reveal Bdckers

Clarence Brown of Ohio and Joseph
O'Hara of Minnesota showed up so
minutes late. Brown Immediately
threw the hearing into an uproar
by questioning Buchanan's right to
subpoena the three witnesses, Aft
erwards, Buchanan said Brown was
raising a smokescreen.
Rumely, who appeared with his
counsel, told the committee he had
brought part of the information
demanded in the subpoena. But he
said he would not produce the
names of those who purchased the
CCG's literature or who loaned the
CCG money to promote Flynn's
book or Fighters for Freedom, a
CCG subsidiary.
Rumely, who was acquitted of
contempt of Congress four years
ago after two trials, blandly main
tanned that the CCG is in the pub
fishing business and claimed that
Buchanan was violating the free
dom of the press by probing its ac-
tivities. He was not allowed to read
a statement because he had defied
the subpoena. Although he admits
the cog sells literature below cost,
Rumely in the past has fallen back
on the contention that his organiza-
tion is just a publishing house. He
told Buchanan that he and the
Cog had registered as lobbyists
''under protest" Rep. Henderson
Lanham Cd, Ga )remindel him
sharply that the committee was not
interfering with the content of
cog literature but only inquiring
into his methods. During Rumely's
testimony, there were frequent hot
exchanges among Buchanan, Lam
ham, Brown, Rep. Carl Albert I'd,
Okla. }, and the witness, with Brown
taking Rumely's side. In fact, hot
exchanges marked the appearance
Of all three witnesses.
Hart tried to read a statement
before handing in his financial re-
cords, but was forced to convey the
records first. In his prepared state
ment, Hart denied that he or his
organization is either Fascist or
anti-Semitic, although he has been
described as both on many occas-
ions. Whether Hart's financial
statements are complete or salts
factory will not be known until the
committee has examined them.
Buchanan did not reveal the names
of Hart's hackers, those who have
contributed more than $1,000 to his
organization, but one of them is be-
lieved to be a top member of the
DUPONT family.
Kamp, who is not a registered
lobbyist, produced nothing for the
committee. He said his organiza
tion, the Constitutional Educational
League, is not lobby, and that he
appeared in response to the sub
poena to explain his position. Under
questioning from Brown, he declar-
ed that if the organization could
be proved to be a lobby, he would
produce the records or face the
consequences.
Whether the committee will take
contempt action against Kamp and
Rumely will not be known until
after Buchanan calls a meeting in
executive session. Meanwhile, Rep.
Eugene Cox Cd, Ga.) was reported
planning to introduce a resolution
in the House disbanding the com
mittee.

thin line of civilization along

More probably than not, unions
opposed to the project are either
not aware of its implications or
have unwittingly permitted them
selves to be used by these same
special interests. If competition is
their predominant concern, the
Chicago meeting was told, they
need no longer fear since present
plans envisage a charge toll for all
ships using the waterway.

Railroad brotherhoods were criti-
cized in particular by Daniel w.
Hoan, former mayor of Milwaukee,
for showing neither sense nor
logic in fighting this water deve-
lopment." Frank X. Martel, pres
ident of the Detroit Federation of
Labor, and Frank Thill, president
of the Minnesota Building and Con-
struction Trades Council, also took
union opponents to task for their
"historic opposition to progress.
"This is just like the struggle of
the building trades against auto
matte plaster-mix machines and
power saws" Thill said. Nov we
would not work without them"
Martel recalled the objections of
union labor to the linotype mach
inc on the ground that it would do
away with jobs in the printing in
dustry. He and other speakers
were emphatic in their belief that
the waterway, regardless of con-
gressional reluctance and behind
the-scenes maneuvers, could not be
delayed for long and that its con
struction would prove major boon
to all of labor.
!. !. !.
These are weighty arguments,
but it will take more than an occas-
ional conference to awaken the ma
tion's workers to the facts. Nor
has Congress at this session been
receptive to the arguments of the
st. Lawrence Seaway advocates
and their warnings that further de-
lay would result in severe indus
trial dislocations, weakening of the
national defense, and eventual
mass unemployment throughout the
Midwest.
Whether Congress, which holds
the pursestrings of the $8O0,000,-
0C0 project, can be made to act in
time depends in the final analysis
on the will Of the people and their
determination to make themselves
heard in legislative halls and force
decision that the welfare of both
America and its working people de-
mands.

Steel and Radio-N
Tumble in Moderately
Lower Stock Market
By the Asseeioted Press

NEW YORK. April 26:-Steel
and radio-television stocks took a
beating in a moderately lower
market today.
Losses ranged to well over a
point in the TV and steel groups.
Elsewhere declines were mostly
fractional and a few issues showed
independent strength.
Turnover was rapid from the
opening bell onward.
During the first hour or so, an
advance seemed to be in the max
ing. There was no follow through
t othe buying, however. and the
market gradually settled back.
United States Steel lost a full
point in the wake of the dividend
and earnings report issued by the
company after the close yesterday.
Evidently there was some dis
appointment among optimists that
the 65-cent dividend had not been
increased, Big Steel's earnings
lined up pretty we'll with predic-
tionS.
Youngstown Sheet weakened
following announcement of a siz-
able decline in first-quarter earn
ings.
Emerson Radio was a selling
target in the TV division. The
stock gained Ia yesterday. largely
on rumor of a split-up. When a
split-up proposal was actually an
nounced today there was some
recovery but it lasted only a few
minutes. Also down a point or
more were Admiral Corp. Philco
Zenith and Motorola. Radio Corp
dipped fractionally.
