Nobody seems to know what
the next step is in Korea, al
though within the next four or
five weeks the situation there
will bring a new climax.
With flying conditions bound
to be bad as the weather takes
its seasonal turn for the worse,
U. N. ground forces, which have
up to now been sufficiently mo-
bile to maneuver effectively
against Communist operations,
will be handicapped in obtain
ing supplies by air.
The Communists are building
their offensive strength steadily
for an expected push that may
exceed in intensity anything
they have tried thus far. The
real tussle is between two meth
ods of supply. The U. N. forces
with motor vehicles and planes
to supply their needs from day
to day can take care of a much
larger enemy force by means of
superior firepower. But the Red
Chinese, reinforced now by Rus
sian supplies and munitions, are
going to find it easier to move
southwark because of the di-
rBinishing effectiveness of our
air attack.
Well-informed officers re-
turning from Korea say it is al
most impossible from the air to
detect the presence of enemy
supplies because of camouf1age
and the fact that most move
mentS are at night. While they
are pessimistic about the time
it may take to defeat the enemy
some SAY it is a matter of
years rather than months-they
are equally positive that the
Red Chinese cannot push us off
the peninsula.

There is much talk now. espe-
cially from labor, about "big
business domination" of the de-
tense program.
This is concentrated natur-
ally about Charles E. Wilson
since he directs the program as
Defense Mobilization Admins
traitor and because he is presi-
dent of General Electric. One of
the worlds largest corporations,
it operates more than 80 plants.
Not because Mr.. Wilson occu-
pies a position any different in
American industry than a num-
ber of other heads of great cor
porations, but because he has
become a symbol in the present
situation, it seems worthwhile
to see just how powerful is his
position. This is considered here
not so much in respect to his
own corporation, but in respect
to It's inter-relations with a far
flung network of giant corpora
tions and financial institutions
that ramify through our whole
economic system and together
constitute virtually an empire
which is "big business. Impor-
tant here is their combined i'm
pact upon our economy, our gov
eminent and our politics. OF all
Of this Mr.. Wilson is part.
We now have handy a ease
study showing how General
Electric fits into this empire
and how powerful an empire it

Congress of an exhaustive in
vestigation of interlocking re-
1ationships among the country's
1000 leading manufacturing
corporations and 800 non-man-
ufacturing concerns including
banks, investment companies,
railroads, utilities, and such.
On the basis of this report,
FTC Chairman James M. Mead
has asked Congress to close UP
loopholes discovered by the in
vestigation in the Clayton Anti
Trust Act, which does not cover
many types of indirect inter-
corporate relationships that
have been contrived since the
law was enacted 36 years ago
in the Woodrow Wilson admin
istration.
These include, for example,
the indirect interlocking rela-
tionship provided through COM
mon membership of directors of
great corporations on boards of
directors of banks, investment
houses. insurance companies,
railroads and utilities which, it

nies.
Also not covered now by the
Clayton Act are interlocking di-
rectorships between corpora
tions and others to whom they
sell supplies or from whom they
buy supplies, a relationship pat
emily conducive to cutting down
competition for, as the FTC
puts it," other business enter
prises that are in competition
with the supplier are obviously
deprived of opportunities to
compete for the business"
In this category, GE has di-
rectors in common with num-
ber of producing companies
which are suppliers-U. S. Steel
with two directors there),
Youngstown Sheet & Tube, Su-
perior Steel Corp, General Steel
Castings, Kennecott Copper,
American Metal Co., Ltd, and
U. S. Smelling, Refining and
Mining Co. 1t also has inter-
locking relationship through
boards of directors with the
New York Central, one of its
big customers. The same is
true, of course, of other big
corporations in the electrical
manufacturing and other in
dustries,
This is but a tiny segment of
the skein of relationships among
our great industrial corpora
tions and big finance that are
catalogued in detail in the VOL
luminous FTC report. But it

Western Union Asks
Curtailed Hours, Due
To Loss Of Revenue

Western Union telegraph service
is to be curtailed here during fall
and winter months in the future,
if revenue losses continue on the
basis of one month this year, Off
GERS of the Chamber of Commerce
have been advised by telegraph
spokeSmen.
Company figures for given
month revealed that it expended
$196 to gain a gross business of
$22 while transmitting forty-four
hundredths of message per hour
during the hours the office now
desires to close.
The proposed new hours would
call for closing at $50 p. m. on
weekdays; 2::20 p. m. Saturdays
and at 10:45 a. m. Sundays. This
schedule would prevail only in the
winter months, it was explained
the summer schedule remaining
the same as now in effect.
Final decision in the matter will
be made by the Federal Commune
cations Commission before whom
the Western Union is making peti
ton for revised operating hours.

Ohio's Sweetest
Season Underway

Columbus, O.-The climax of
Ohio's "sugaring season" will be
reached in Chardon, March 80
through April /. During that
three-day period the Geauga Coun-
ty Maple Festival will swell the
village of $500 to more than 40
times its normal population.
Ohio, with about million trees
being tapped, ranks third among
the state in maple syrup produc-
ton, according to Ohio Develop
ment and Publicity Commission
records.
Maple syrup is the main attrac-
ton at the festival but other ac-

One of the best antique shows
in the country is held in con-
junction with the festival. Farm
ers from all over northwestern
Ohio pour into town for the big
log-sawing contest.
First held in 1924, the festival
was originated by A. B. Carlson,
Chardon shopkeeper, to acquaint
the public with the story behind
production of maple syrup,
Though new attractions have been
added, one of the most popu-
lar is a festival institution which
has been in on all the celebra-
tionS. The institution is a group
of Is old-time bandsmen which
serenades festival visitors from a
horse drawn wagon.
