Union Chiefs Would Cooperate With u.
Government, but Only on Own Terms

to the conclusion that Mr.. Will
son, by virtue of his experience
as president of the General
Electric Co. and in management
positions for many years, was
the man best qualified to do the
job. Can any mobilization pro-
gram really succeed if the Presi-
dent of the United States can
not choose his own executives?
Mr.. Wilson severed all busi-
ness connections and resigned
from his company to accept the
position he now occupies. The
labor unions claim that they
have nobody on the top-level
staff but, when Mr.. Wilson in
vited them to name a man, they
refused to do so apparently be-
cause one of the conditions
stipulated was that the labor
man should sever all connec-
tions with his labor union and
become a full-fledged servant of
the Government of the United
States and not of his private
business.
Labor unions are entitled to a
voice in public affairs but, until
they come up with a man good
enough to do management job
such as Mr.. Wilson has on his
hands, they can hardly expect
to be given the responsibility for
directing the entire program.
But they will be the first to con-
cede that they don't want that
responsibility. So it all boils
down to the fact that labor
union leaders still think Of Mr..
Wilson as they think Of all big
busineSsmen-just someone to
insult and denounce, someone to
characterize with invectives, and
someone to haraSS at a time of
world crisis when the RESPONSE
bility Of such a man is bigger

views for and against sending
a number Of American divisions
to Europe were heard at length.
Those who, like former Presi-
dent Hoover. oppose such a
measure, predicated their argu-
ments on the lack of confidence
that continental Europe's main
pivot, France, would make real
effort to build UP that North At
lantic wall.
The last witness before the
committees, Gen. Lucius D.
Clay, former American COM
mander in Europe. pleaded in
favor of sending troops. He
urged that America give the
people in Western Europe a
chance and show them that we
are on their side all the way.
The French cabinet crisis.
which occurred about the time
Gen. Clay was testifying before
the Senate committees. is likely
to give fresh ammunition to the
opponents of that measure.
There could have been no worse
time for the French politicos to
play their game.
The American people do not
doubt the courage Of French
fighting men, or the ability of
their generals. But internal
conditions, which cause French
governments to fall at crucial
moments in world affairs, are
worrisome. Nobody knows who
the next top man will be, or
what he may do to activate
Frances military effort.
President Truman's recon-
mendation for an $8.5 billion
appropriation to rearm the At
lantic nations will be sent to
Congress In the future. A SUBJ
stantial slice of that impressive
sum, for which the American
people must dig into their
pockets, will be earmarked for
France.
Less opposition is expected to
this appropriation than to the
sending of ground forces to

Expert Vo|conologist Gives
AReport on Mt. Vesuvius

do just for the sake of his
readers?) and I believe it's get
ting ready to do something. I
am no volcanologist, if that's
what you call a student of vol
canos, but there are spots on
Vesuvius that don't belong on
peaceful, family-type mountain.
When I approached the top
(Jean was keeping her mouth
shut now, because Of my warn
ing) Vesuvius gave me a nat
ural hotfoot every fifty or a
hundred yards. Fool ground was
so hot it burned right through
my shoes, new half-soles and
all. And the guide took pride
in pointing out places where
eggs could be fried simply by
dropping them on a rock.
A mountain that doesn't have
mischief up its sleeve is not
going TO act like that. It'll de-
vote it's time to growing trees
and squirrels and wild flowers.
When I got down again I ex-
pressed my opinion of what
Vesuvius was up to to quite a
few residents of Ercolano and
Pugliano, the two towns which
sprawl at the foot Of the VOL
cano. But they pooh-poohed
me, and I gathered the impress
sion that building towns at the
base of Vesuvius and then hav-
ing them knocked to smithereens
and covered with lava was a
habit with Italians in these
parts. A habit they couldn't
give up.
Well. they can't say I didn't
warn 'em. Ijust hope they never
see the day when they'll be
shaking the lava out of their
hair and saying, "Oh, if we had
only listened to Henry. that
expert volcanologist."

Thomas L. Stokes:

That big wind around here
isn't March roaring in like a
lion.
It's a great sigh of relief from
Republicans-and some South
ern Democrats-that the ghost
of Franklin D. Roosevelt finally
has been laid by the two-term
limitation now securely fixed in
our Constitution as the 22d
Amendment.
We are witnessing here q
strange sort of Psychological
manifestation almost bordering
on neuroticism. In a way it's
curious post-mortem tribute to
the man who's been dead now
for nearly six years. Wherever
he is he must be grinning at
those who are grinning down
here in the confidence they have
fixed him at last. It's as if
vengeance finally has been
achieved against Franklin D.
Roosevelt by the act of limiting
our Presidents to two terms
hereafter.
1t became the duty of Re
publican National Chairman Guy
George Gabrielson to pronounce
the final words, though, of
course, without mentioning the
departed brother. Solemnly-
you could almost hear soft organ
music in the background-the
Republican chairman said rati-
fication of the constitutional
amendment "disposes finally of
the myth of the indispensable
man." (But does it, Mr.. Ga
brielson, dispose of that man"
you have in mind? Does it stay
the hand of history?)
He went on:
"This means that no Presi-
dent henceforth will decide all
by himself that he is the in
dispensable man and therefore
should run for a third, or even
fourth term. It means that the
time -honored tradition against
more. than two terms in the
White House-set by George
Washington-will not again be
flouted by personal ambition.
There is no place for kings and
dictators ip our Republic"
Dictators! How often we
heard that few years back.
even as it was heard, at the very
start, about President George
Washington (his enemies said
he wanted to be king) and on
down the line about Thomas
Jefferson, Andrew Jackson,
Abraham Lincoln, Theodore
Roosevelt and Woodrow Will
son.

course of our history we now

David Lawrence:

Nature must take its course.
That's about what President
Truman has decided is the way
to meet the latest crisis in the
defense program-the strike
ordered by the major labor Or
ganizations against membership
by labor members on any boards
in the Office Of Defense Mobi-
lization.
This means that the President
will await the opinion of the
country. Do the rank and
file members Of the labor unions
approve of the action taken by
their leaders? Do the soldiers
in Korea approve of any group
which deliberately boycotts the
defense operation and refuses to
aid it after havig been so re-
quested by the President of the
United States?
Do the American people think
the American Federation Of
Labor, the CIO, and the rail-
road union representatives are
acting patriotically in refusing
to sit on Government boards
when they have been formally
invited to serve?
The statement issued by these
organizations gives as the main
reason that they do not like the
decisions and rules made by
Charles E. Wilson, director of
the Office of Defense Mobiliza-
tion. A bitter attack is made
on him as being arrogant, and
unwilling to see the needs Of
labor as the unions see them.
This Is tantamount to saying
that the labor groups feel they
can dictate who shall operate
the defense program. 1t is ap-
parently Of no concern to them
that the President, after can
vassing the possibilities, came

things, including appliances and
even automobiles, falling of.
Businessmen admit that a kind
of depression coinciding with
rearmament is not impossible.
If the unions have to face
any widespread unemployment
in addition to initiation they will
really be in trouble with their
membership.
Labor makes the charge that
not only are these consumer
goods businesses being choked
off but that production of war
materials is tagging far behind
the goals. Facts and figures
about this are said to be ready
for any Congressional hearings.
President Truman's subdued
press conference showed that he
is finally aware that the situa-
ton is very serious. It's q rare
occasion when prolonged ques-
tioning on controversial matters
cannot elicit a quotable Truman
phrase but this week he really
held out.
Not even the RFC inveStiga-
ton could tempt him. BY this
time he probably knows that he
is going to have to yield on
some of the criticism of his
staff but he managed his mo
comment" manfully.

Henry McLen1ore:

NAPLES.-Italians have been
hopping mad at Mount Vesuvius
ever since SO AID, when Nero.
the fiddlin' fool, was on the
throne.
From Nero's time until 1914,
when the last eruption took
place, Naples chief landmark
has been blowing it's top with
varying degrees of destruction.
Right now the Italians are
madder at Vesuvius than
they've ever been, even though
the volcano is behaving itself
as nicely as any little Catskill.
And this Emily Post-like be-
havior is exactly why the Ital-
ians who live within sight of it
are mad enough at 1t to give it
a good switching.
When vesuvius popped off in
1914 it did something to its in
sides that ended the rim of fire
around the top Of its crater.
which could be seen when the
sun went down, and caused it
to give up smoking.
The fiery glow and the omi-
nous smoke that curled from
its crater were tremendous
tourist attractions. Heaven
knows how many hundreds Of
thousands of tourists have left
Naples shuddering delightedly
at the thought of having lived
in the shadow of this evil noun
tain and escaped with their
lives.
Like the Italians, I wish old
Vesuvius were still acting up.
This being my first visit to Ma
Piles I am getting weary of su-
perior people, who have been
here before, telling me about
the good old days when a chap
had to have his nerve about
him to rest easily In the vicinity
of Vesuvius.
I happen to be rooming with
one of these superior creatures.
and I have warned Jean If she
tells me one more time how
Vesuvius looked when it glowed
at night, and what I missed by
not having been here before.
I am going to drag her to the
top and throw her down the
crater so she can come back
and boast of having seen the
bottom of Natures most famous
pressure cooker.

Labor Creating Internal Disunity

exception of the President.
If that's sample Of the kind
Of cooperation America is going
to have from its economic
groups. then maybe there is
reason to be concerned about
the success of the mobilization
program. For. when the leaders
proclaim dissension as their
slogan, the rank and file takes
up the cry and America is in
for precisely the kind of internal
disunity on the labor front which
Communist agents would give
their eyeteeth to bring about.
The labor-union leaders say
they will let their representa-
tives return to another kind of
wage stabilization board but they
openly threatened the Govern
ment unless such a new board
is set up as they want 1t. The
penalty they prescribe is re-
fusal to sit on any other boards
in the war effort, even though
those boards are not at all con-
nected with the issues that have
arisen over wage stabilization
policy.
1t certainly is a novel develop
ment-something unprecedented
to see the Nations foremost
labor-union leaders telling the
Government they will not serve
it anywhere else unless they can
have their way on a matter of
self interest materialism. Such
a challenge will not go un-
