ELECTIONS:
Duty to Vote

AS the date of the national cleo
ton nears, the American Heritage
Foundation, the non-profit citizens
group that sponsored the Freedom
Train, stepped up its campaign Of
turning out a large vote.
The foundation is sponsor of the
contest in which prizes of historical
papers are being awarded to COM
munities, counties, and civic organ
izations doing the best job in turn
ing out the vote.
The campaign was designed to
combat widespread voter lethargy
which in the presidential election of
1948 saw more than 45,)00,000 of
Americas voting population fail to
60 to the polls.
Two years ago, only So per cent of
the voters took the trouble to cast
their ballots, poor record when
contrasted with other countries. In
the last national elections held in
Sweden, 80 per cent of the voting
population went to the polls. The
turnout in France and Italy ex-
ceeded 80 per cent. In Great Brit
ain it was rs per cent and in Can
ada, IA per cent.
Thomas Darcy Brophy, founda-
ton president, said in launching the
contest: "In this year of crisis it is
more necessary than ever before
that every citizen of voting age vote.
A large turnout at the polls is the
most effective answer free citizens
can hurl at those who would enslave
them"
Soon after election day three
man board of judges will start re-
viewing the efforts of various COM
munities and organizations in rails
ing the voting levels in their regions.
The judges are 1t. Gen. Walter
Bedell Smith, director of the CEN
trail intelligence agency; Charles E.
Wilson, president of General Elec-
trio company, and William Green,
president of the American Fedora
ton of Labor.
In 1913, Utah had the best voting
record with TAG per cent going to
the polls.

MOBILIZATION:
A Fight for Survival

A new cry for an about effort in
the fight for survival was made by
w. Stuart Symington, economic
mobilizer. He called for higher
taxes, sitter curbs on credit and
longer working hours.
He reported his agency is now
getting organized for such price and
wage action as may be needed, but
fastened to add he believed it might
be possible to avoid general price
wage controls in the immediate fu-
ture IF we could get over the psy-
chology of scarce buying"
Many observers believed that
Symington was making a desperate
appeal in an effort to head off furth-
er curbS.
Symington said: 1--WE must have
strong credit controls to cut down
civilian buying We must have
much higher taxes, on a 'pay-as-
you-go' basis, to keep purchasing
power down to level of available
civilian goods"
To cope with Russia's superiority
in man power, he suggested:
l. A great step-up" in American
production.
2. Return of older workers and
women into the labor force.
3. Restoration of work hours, "at
least part way" to the levels that
prevailed during World War II.

MAKE ISLAND:
1ulks Lack Something

On the hot, lonely little island of
Wake in mid-P acific, President Har-
~ S. Truman and Gen. Douglas
Macarthur, two men who have had
much to do with world destiny in
the last few years, had talk.
After it was over a statement
was issued which said the two dis
cussed a number of subjects vital
to world problems. According to
the press release they talked about
reconstruction of Korea, the posi-
bility of a Japanese peace treaty,
and the general agreement to strive
toward peace in unity with other
U.N. nations.
The meeting was of great interest
to the American public from anoth-
er angle Macarthur and Mr.. Tru-
man had never met and their con-
flicting views on a number of SUBJ
Eects had been reported in the
press during recent months.
Reports of the meeting indicated
that Macarthur had only a general
Idea of tile topics to be discussed
when he was asked to meet the
President. 1t was ;lso reported that
Truman conducted the talks from
an agenda scrubbed on a pad.
Observers believed these reports
gave an Indication of the how and
why of the meeting. The President
had number of topics to discuss
with the U.N. commander and he
limited the talks to that agenda. 1t
was also suggestive, some observ-
ers believed, that Mr.. Truman was
acting in his capacity as President
and mander-in-chief and not
as a man seeking advice.
On the surface the meeting was
cordial. In farewell, Macarthur
said: "Good-by, sir. Happy landing.
1t has been real honor to talk
with you"
But the other Macarthur seemed
revealed when he said good-by to
Gen. Omar N. Bradley, chairman
of the joint chiefs of staff: Good
by, Omar. Don't let them get you
down up there"
To the observer not so close to
hand, the observation-disclosures meet
ing seemed to lack something, al
though no one has been able to say
definitely just what.

DEWEY:
A BombshelI

Gov. Thomas E. Dewey tossed a
political bombshen upon the ma
tional scene by saying fatty he
would not run for President in 1852
and would back Gen. Dwight D.
Eisenhower for the Republican
nomination.
The governor had no more than
made his statement when other
liberal Republicans, including Har-
old Stassen, backed the move.
Under no circumstances that I
can conceive" Dewey said, Twill
I accept the nomination for Presi-
dent in 1852, and I doubt if there
is any possibility the situation would
arise thereafter.
The Democrats had nothing to
say about Dewey's announcement.
President Truman when informed OF
1t was reported to have murmured
"that's fine" and continued his
swim in the Pacific.
A number of political figures,
however, recalled that the governor
said shortly before he announced
for the third term as governor OF
New York, he would not be candi-
date for that office again.
The last time Eisenhower men
toned politics he said he did not
want to identify himself with any
one political party. He added that
II have no political connections, nc
political ambitions, and don't want
any connections with politics."

UNIFORM DIVORCE LAWS

haphazard methods of handling divorces but nobody

success

hope to achieve a good working divorce model The

The recently completed hearings on Alaska have
resulted in the bill going back to committee for
amendments and although this is considered loss in
the eyes of those who went all out for statehood
now" it is certain to bring over all advantages
to the future Alaska state.
E. v. Davis, official representative of the Cham
Der of Commerce at the Senate hearings summed up
results of the hearings when he said in report to
that group 1--WE finally around now to the point
where everyone is for statehood although they still
differ on the enabling act
That was the sum and substance of the entire
session in Washington. Even the Alaska Salmon In
dustry ball carrier the opposition and allegedly
perpetual opponent against statehood is on the
record of avorng statehood but under more favorable
bill than 331.
Mr. Davis confirmed indications in press reports
that the majority of the committeeman had become
convinced that Alaska should not have statehood under
the bill that before Congress. Even Governor
Gruening admitted that it could be better bill
There will be those who will bemoan the fact
that we have lost another opportunity at statehood
They will castgate the opponents who SO ably pointed
out that 331 bill to create 'pauper" state but
in the final analysis all of the residents of this future
state will be thankful that 331 did not pass 1t would
have made Alaska state in but not in sub
stance because Alaska would have had no additional
potential resources upon which to exert tax
Now that there is general acquiesance to state
hood the only stumbling block is for factions that
were split 331 to join forces and insist on an
enbing act that will bring the proper BENEFITS TO the
citizens of the future state.

For the man Duff has selected

of Pennsylvania.
This was the first Democratic
regime to rule rock-ribbed Penn

THE CELLER COMMITTEE


Congressional committees, even
the better ones, thrive on wide
spread publicity and public interest
in their work. The Celler Com
mittee is victim of Senator Jo-
seph McCarthy's capture of public
interest. 1t goes steadily along
making a record, but no one pays
any attention to it., in spite of the
fact that it is engaged in an i'm
portant and, to my mind, danger
Gus activity.
The object of the Celler Com
mittee is to discover whether big
business is not sitting small bust
ness, and, particularly as regards
the steel industry, it has been seek
ing data to show that to manu-
facture steel the companies have
to use iron ore. 1t had appar-
emily hoped to show that no high
grade ore would be left soon, but
the steel companies knocked the
props from under the Committee
by proving that they knew long ago
that if ore was taken out of the
ground, it would no longer be in
the ground. SO the companies
bought other ore fields.
Obviously, many businesses can
not be small. The question is not
whether a business is big or small,
but whether it becomes monopolis-
tic, throttling competition, absorb
ing related and unrelated bust
nesses, forcing up prices to the
disadvantage of the consumer.
