Mr.. Green's Observations

hold no brief for Senator Taft Now
that T. E. Dewey has gracefully with
drawn, Mr. Taft Is the one remaining
William Jennings Bryan of the Repub-
lican Party. He is now making his
fourth bid for presidential nomination.
This q few months after ratification
of a constitutional amendment pro-
scribing a third term-Mr. Truman, of
course. excepted; the poor-we have
with us alway.
The foregoing should be some indica-
tion of the objectivity OF this my exami-
nation of the curious letter you pub
lished December | from President Will
liam Green of the American Federation
of Labor. After the fiatulence of his
communication has evaporated. MIR.
Green's contention seems to be this:
Mr.. Taft should have been defeated
for reelection as Senator from Ohio
because he fathered the ft-Hartley
law which robs labor of freedom, inde-
pendence and dignity" Mr.. Green
speaks thus, he AYERS, "in the name and
in the behalf Of the eight million men,
bers of the American Federation OF
Labor" Well. big proportion of Ohio
"a
freedom. independence and dignity to
go against Mr.. Green and vote for
Mr.. Taft.
Mr. Green's observation about the
Taft Hartley Act is phenomenon IA
miliar to all owners of phonograph
record players. In the playing of a
well-worn record. the recording needle
sometimes sinks into a groove, and We
hear the same thing, the same thing,
the same thing over and over again.
Mr.. Green's remarks about the Taft
Hartley Act fall into the same groove
except that he has abandoned the old
parrotlike slogan slave labor law"
What Mr.. Green did not say about
the Taft-Hartley Act was this:
l. 1t was passed because Mr. Green
and other decent elements in labor
leadership hadn't raised so much as a
little finger to correct evils which in
spired its enactment.
2. When Senate and House Labor
Committees were considering what ulti-
mately became the Taft-Hartley Act,
Mr.. Green and other upright labor lead
ers were given chance to write their
own tickets in correction Of abuses in
which no decent labor leader like Mr..
Green would engage. Yet Mr.. Green
refused to make a single suggestion for
the curbing of practices which gave an
unmerited black eye to the whole labor
movement.
3. The Taft-Hartley Act provided for
a legislative watchdog committee to
observe its workings and suggest modi-
f1cations. MIR. Green would have none
OF that. He demanded outright repeal
of the Taft-Hartley Act and return to
the rope EN- -down-and- tie 'em of the
Wagner Act. Mr.. Green is no labor
racketeer. But like some respectable
elements of American business in earlier
but similar circumstances, he vigorously
opposed legislative efforts to curb the
wildcats and robber barons of his par
ticular segment of society.

custom in my home town would

their best colored glass-paned window,

lacking one they select the nearest to

to change his mind after a talk with
the Politburo.
Lower-ranking Soviet delegates are
simply mouthpieces for views formulated
centrally in the Kremlin. Sometimes
they have no instructions except to re-
port back, and no leeway to agree to
anything. More often they are given
detailed instructions that must be fol-
lowed implicitly. Every point, no matter
how minor, must be pressed again and
again.
His MarXist view of the capitalist
world makes the Soviet representative
suspicious of all overtures. When Fred
erick Osborn, American deputy on the
u. N. Atomic Energy Commission sug-
gested private talk with Andrei Gro
myko in a sincere effort to compromise
differences, Gromyko answered: "Mr
Osborn, you may be sincere, but gov
ernments are never sincere"
An unpleasant feature of negotiating
with the Russians is their resort to vi
tuperation, with vehement attacks on
the motives of others. Andrei vishinsky
Is RusSia's expert at name-calling, but
representatives at all levels seem to use
1t as deliberate technique.
Gen. Deane. who received one of
Vishinskys tongue -lashings, comments
that ut is almost automatic that the
vigor, vindictiveness, spleen and out
right dishonesty of Soviet argument in
creases in direct ratio with the weak
ness of its position"
Despite the difficulties none of the
contributors to this volume believes we
should give up all effort to reach agree
ment with the Russians. But they make
it clear that in dealing with the Soviet
Union there is no substitute for power.
Negotiating from position of weakness
obviously is futile. Refusal to negotiate
at all could set off the world war we
seek to avert. The building of positions
of strength and the use of negotiation
must go hand in hand.

''GREAT GATSBY"
 SHOWS TONIGHT
 AT 10TH CENTURY

Seven top stars head the cast of Paramount's picturization of one of the greatest books to come out of the devil-may-care POS, The Great Gatsby." written by F. Scott Fitzgerald Alan Ladd, in the title role, shares stellar billing with Betty Field, Macdonald Carey, Ruth Hussey, Barry Sullivan, Howard Da Silva and Shelley Winters, an im- pressive array of talent for film that is reported to be something exceptional in the way of screen fare.
 The Great Gatsby." at the 20th Century Theatre for the last time tonight, is set in that flaming, ir- responsible time. known as ''the jazz age,' about which Fitzgerald wrote so revealingly. It tells the tempestuous love story of man of mystery and violence who crash es Long Island society to win back the girl who tilted him for mill lionaire playboy. And it re-createS the complete irresponsibility of the law-breaking, money-to-bur set who tore recklessly through life as though the party would last for ever.

FRESH VEGETABLES
 PRICE CONTROLLED

Fresh fruits and vegetables are now under price control in Alaska if they are shipped in from the outside, the Territorial Office of Price Stabilization said this week.
 The territorial office made the announcement to amplfy and ex- llain further to Alaska grocers and others affected the changes in Reg ulation 9 which were made known in Washington early last week. Regulation g is the price-control regulation for retailers and applies to all the territories and possessions of the United States.
 The change in the territorial reg clation came after reports were re- ceived in Washington that wider margins were being taken on some items previously exempt. Although most fruits and vegetables are not begged in the states until they reach parity, Alaska handlers can in TO ease take more than the 5amc dcllar-and-cent profit on these products than they took in the base period, December 19-Jan-
 ary 25.
 Several other items of lesser i'm
 cft are covered in the amendment, 5eich went into effect May IT. come of these items are seeds. hay md fish oils. With fresh fruits
 nd vegetables, they had pre- gious- ; been exempt.

In college, Miss Norman con-
centrated on dramatic acting and
singing and did radio work on the
local Greensboro station. She
took a post graduate curse in
dramatic acting at Columbia Uni
versity.
Coming to Los Angeles, she
gained her first real break in the
professional theatre in 1916 when
she applied for a job in the pro-
duction, 1.-TWO In A Bed" at the

valuable, so sheoffered to under
study three female roles during
rehearsal. There being no stage
manager, she made stage manager
notes for the director and thus
got a fourth job on the produc-
tin. When the leading lady, Lou
Use Beavers, was unable to appear
one night, she stepped into her
role.
