Jimmy Herring, we chatted away
with Joe Louis, all time great
heavyweight boxing celebrity, in
the lobby of the Theresa hotel on
West 125th st.
Joe had seen our story on his
"move show" with which he will
tour the distant hinterlands. He
liked it, passing well.
What did the champ think
about Clarerce Henry, that anvil

He seems a sure shot to become
champion if he's not bypassed.
While few take these thru with

than with tongue in cheek, Louis
sounded as II ne had learned his
lesson following the Rocky Mar
ciano debacle. From here on in
he will cash in on his towering
popularity.

Ike's 'Smeur-Muster'

Jim Berryman's cartoon joshing the
two parties for coming out against
smear tactics" hit the mark-as do all
his cartoons!
It would be especially Geceitful for the
Eisenhower camp to decry smear tactics
by the Democrats when 1ke's chief Of
staff is that master Of smear and ma
chine politics, Sherman Adams. 1t was
Adams who went on the air in the
closing days of the New Hampshire
primary, addressing the voters as their
Governor and warning them that Stain
would be watching how they voted. so
they better vote for Eisenhower. This
same Sherman Adams. who now wants
the Democrats to go easy on his boy Ike.
picked up line for line the CIO-PAC
Anti-Taft smear and went up and down
the Nation last spring repeating stories
he knew to be untrue.
The Adams line Of smear was peddled
all over the State Of Massachusetts, dur
ing their primary. where Henry Cabot
Lodge was SO active against Taft. And
In Pennsylvania and over the networks
another Eisenhower man, Hugh Scott,
missed no opportunity to twist Taft's
record. And the general was in Chicago
when a particularly vicious smear Job
was done on Taft.

recourse, It must be remembered that Egypt is
going through a convulsve effort to refreshen
and rebuild its entire political structure. It is
attempting to do this in a manner different
from the blood and fire Of revolution. If 1t
succeeds the entire country-including the textile
workers-wll be the better for it being done.
There are, in fact, specific proposals pending for
marked Improvement in wage and working
conditions for the countrys industrial population
The possibility of Communist connection
with the Alexandria riots offers further justifi
cation for determined steps to repress such
violence. While the Communist Party is officially
outlawed in Egypt and is not large in numbers
there is steady pace of subversive effort going
on. Much of this is known to be in the textile
centers and could very likely be found in the
latest disorder. The fire riots in Cairo last
January showed clear evidence of Communist
planning and the present government is fully
justified in any steps to prevent another such
approach to anarchy.

Fifty Years Ago in The Star

The Star featured on its first page on
August 18. 1902. Special from Pitts
burgh, saying: President Charles M.
Schwab of the United States Steel
Corp. has accepted the
Mr.. Schwob advice of physicians and
Retires decided to retire indefi-
nitely from active business
life. He will leave America to seek some
quiet nook in a foreign cline, where not
an echo Of the strenuous life he has led
can reach him." Mr.. Schwab's indispo-
sition, 1t was suggested, required the
constant attendance of doctor but "the
exact nature Of his patients illness can
not be learned through him." The steel
magnate was mot confined to his bed"
He was described as spending much OF
his time on the wide veranda of his
home at Loretto, Pa, where he was seen
by visitors but could not be interviewed.
"Great strain resulting from so many
business cares" was responsible Tor his
ailment and for his decision to retire.
But his career as leader in the steel
industry was not over. He became
chairman Of the board Of the Bethle-
hem Steel Corp. Later, he was
president of the American Iron and Steel
Institute. His death occurred on Sep
tember 10, 1899.

Albert D. Rust.
The recent steel strike is reported to
have cost the American people all the
way up to 81 billion. If such great loss
were inflicted on this country by q
foreign foe q declaration of war would
follow Immediately. But strikes. which
are but form Of blackmail. are re-
garded generally as inevitable and legiti-
mate. Moreover. they are encouraged
and supported by the Government at
Washington, thus making them official.
They are also approved indirectly by the
silence of our halls of learning and our
churches. Wages. like prices and
rentals, are rightly determined by the
natural law of supply and demand. This
Is an immutable law of Almighty God
and therefore equivalent to a moral law
which must not be broken. All workers
excepting those Of labor unions abide by
this law. Labor unions make use Of
strikes to secure by force wages in excess
of the normal level. There is right
remedy for every wrong and the right
alternative for strikes Is the reform OF
taxation which was formulated by Henry
George and which would establish equal
rights for all and special privileges for
none. Henry Ware Allen.

Make En- Like 1t

Governor Stevenson definitely was not among
those present when Philip Murray and President
Truman were whooping it up for his candidacy
But the Democratic nominee is going to find it
difficult to completely disassocate himself from
the Truman Murray brand of politickng.
Mr.. Murray, in the most unsurprising state
ment Of the year, announced that the CIO is
going to support the Stevenson -Sparkman ticket,
and there was some talk about raising ST million
war chest. The CIO president may have been
something less than fervently dedicated to this
undertaking. At any rate, he described Mr..
Truman as the greatest friend" labor has had
In his lifetime, and served notice on Messrs.
Stevenson and Sparkman that they are bound"
by the Democratic platform, which, of course,
they are not. In fact, Governor Stevenson's
earlier protest against the tidal drift" Of power
to Washington must have fallen with diSquiet-
ing and possibly disconcerting impact on Mr.
Murray's ears.
Mr.. Truman, in his turn had few words
to say. He addressed the CIO delegation which
came to the White House in this fashion: Were
going to do exactly again what we did in 194S
and we're going to make them like it."
The President didn't identify them" But
he undoubtedly was referring to the Republicans
and, in his un-Stevensonian way, to all of those
who think that the Truman Fair Deal is some
thing less than the ultimate in political perfec-
ton in this land.
Governor Stevenson, who has displayed no
understandable yearning to identify himself with
Trumanism and the CIO, may yet be able to
receive them into his political family. After all,
he needs their support and probably cannot win
without it. But it is going to take some fast
footWork If he Is to welcome this support and
still present himself to the voters as the best
answer to the demand for change.

An EnviubIe Breed

Although they are not certain about the
matter, two members Of our Fish and W1ldllfe
Service believe that they may have found IN
remote parts of Canada the breeding grounds OF
the snow goose and the rare, almost extinct
whooping crane The discovery, II 1t can be con-
firmed. will come as good news to ornitholog1sts
and conservationiSts, who attach great sclentinc
Importance to such things.
Further, the news will be especially pleasing
to all those who have been worrying for many
years about what to do to save the whoop1ng
crane from vanishing altogether, like the pas
senger pigeon and the dodo. If its nesting place
has really been located, then maybe steps can De
taken to encourage the creature to become fairly
multitudinous once again. This undoubtedly Is
a possibility of considerable significance to spe-
cialists in the subject.
To many of us non-specialists, though the
most interesting part of the story Is about the
human beings involved First, there are the two
Fish and Wildlife men whose findings have been
based on what they saw during 25000-mile
aerial survey of some of the northernmost parts
of this hemisphere. And then there are the
numerous others-notably the lovers OF rare
birds-who have been genuinely delighted and
excited by the possibility Of saving the whoop-
ing crane What is interesting, and also refresh
ing. about all this is that it shows how certain
people-unagitated by stuff like the atomic bomb
or the interminable wrangle with hussla-con-
serve their enthusiasm and their main attention
for the things that matter most to them, even
though those things may seem inconsequential
to the rest of U.s. These are the specialists IN
relatively academic fields-a breed Of bipeds who
generally take calm view Of everything but
their own speciality.
In way, such people are to be envied. With
their chief interest concentrated on preserving
wildlife, or digging up the bones OF ancient man,
or excavating the lost cities Of dead civilizations
they are well-armored against the strains and
stresses of these times. They are not escapists
of course, but the things in which they specialize
tend to make them far less vulnerable than most
OF us to premature gray hair, duodenal ulcers
and nervous breakdowns Maybe it would be good
for all OF us to emulate them little bit at least
to the extent Of occasionally letting ourselves
become more excited by news about the whoopine
crane for example, than by the latest headlines
about the snarling Kremlin.

The Swiss Watch Case

Two distinct issues and dash OF party
politics appear to be the ingredients of the Swiss
watch case, in which President Truman has just
overruled the Federal Tariff Commissions
recommendation for an increase in import duties
on timepieces.
One issue, on which Mr.. Truman placed the
weight of his action, is that of American policy
with regard to international trade-the extent
to which we prepared to allow and encourage
foreign producers to find American markets as a
means of raising the dollars which they need so
badly. It is problem that is most Of all vital
to the free countries of Western Europe primarily
industrial in their economies but needful OF
great quantity of dollar goods. To buy these
dollar goods-armaments for the common defense
effort have become a major element In the
picture-these European countries must either
market a comparable volume OF their own
production here or be subsidized through more
direct means.
In 1851 Switzerland bought $216 million OF
American goods and sold to us $131 million
of which slightly more than half was watches or
parts. The case, on which the Tariff Commission
by Split decision recommended so per cent
increase in duties, had become to most OF the
West European governments test OF our
foreign economic policies. For long time the
United States has been the principal market
of the Swiss watch industry and tarih action
would have been interpreted as evidence OF
American disregard for the economic welfare
of the friendly nations. Mr.. Truman so inter-
preted the recommendation and his rejection OF
1t repudiated any such policy of disregard.
The second issue is that of protection OF
domestic industry from lower-coSt competition
abroad The American watch industry, joined
by labor contended that it is now suffering injury
from the Swiss competition, and that there is
threat of further injury unless protective steps
through tariff increases are granted.
The commission split three and three on the
complaint of current injury, with the political
cooration showing up in the fact that three
Republican members voted there is injury and
three Democratic members voted there is not.
1t was on the question of threatened injury that
one Democratic commissioner joined the Repub-
lican trio to make four -to-two vote, resulting
in the recommendation for the so per cent
increase in duties.
The American watch market has increased
rather sharply in the past five years with the
Swiss production picking up larger share OF
this increase than the domestic industry. This
circumstance was emphasized in the domestic
appeal and drew rather cauStic comment from
Mr. Truman about the dangerous precedent OF
acknowledging injury when an industry fails
to gain something it never had, even though
prospering by all of the customary standards
Sof levels OF production, profits, wages and
employment"
The resolution Of problem Of this nature
,s not a simple matter and inequity may always
he present. In this case, the President has taken
a nosition representing the interests OF more
than single industry and has given persuasive
explanation of his decision:'
