LABOR HAS CO-OPERATED
WITH FARMER

On the political platform in Mon
tana and in my comments on the poll
tical scene, have always emphasized
the fact that with the dwindling num-
Der Of farmers, good agricultural leg
islation can be written only with the
wholehearted cooperation of Con-
gressmen who represent labor here
in Washington. This is a two-way
street. We have asked for and received
wholehearted support of most Demo-
cratic Congressman from industrial
areas when our agricultural programs
were up for decision. 1t goes without
saying that labor expected sympa-
thetic support when it in turn was
undergoing legislative labor pains.
What happened? Well, the South
erners, who are the chief benefici-
aries of the cotton and tobacco pro-
grams, voted almost solidly against
labor. Most amazing was that only
four Texans stood with Speaker
Rayburn against the punitive labor
bill and l 6 voted against his leader
ship and against the friends who
have been supporting their cotton,
tobacco and other agricultural leg
islative programs.
Don't think this will be overlooked
by the 100 to $50 Congressman whose
chief concern is labor when cotton
or tobacco legislation comes before
the House. Corn? Well, the corn belt
were solidly anti-labor.
1t will be tough job for the corn

POWER POLITICS INVOLVED

DO want TO analyZe Tor you some
of the implications that may be drawn
from the power politics involved. The
direct battle lines were drawn be-
tween the regular Democrats on the
one hand and the Republican-South-
ern Democrat coalition on the other.
Some of the results of this fight may
manifest themselves in the Democratic
National Convention next July.
We don't need to wait IL months,
though, to make pretty good guess
at what the effect may be on agricul-
tural legislation. This is" of primary
and vital concern to Montana with
its agricultural economy. Agriculture,
as you may know, is Montana's most
important economic activity. For more
than 25 years, farm income-and it
is all fresh new income that jingles
in the businessmen's cash registers
across our State-has ranged from
Is to 35 per cent of total personal
income in the State. Nearly one-fourth
of our labor force is in agriculture
AS would any thoughtful individual,
/ recognized these broad, basic facts
of economic life for our State-that
our prosperity is almost directly tied
to the prosperity of our agriculture.

bill. This tough Dill, regarded Dy moSl
trade unionists as anti-labor and anti
union, was pressed by the Southern
bloc of Democrats and by the Re-
publican leadership.
The result indicated two vital fac
tors:
1. Ninety per cent of us who
represented the wheat growing re-
gions of the United States sup
ported the moderate labor legisIa-
ton and opposed the anti-union bill
that was finally passed.
2. 1t would appear on the basis
of the voting record that the South
ern block might as we'll abandon
any hope for help from labor and
big city congressman for their agri-
culture and other legislative pro-
grams.
l voted against the Landrum-Griffin
bill. but it prevailed by a vote in the
key action, 229 to 201. think more
reasoned legislation would have done
the job without the hard feelings and
without the punitive effect on unions,
particularly small unions, supposing
the Landrum- Griffin bill should ac-
tually be accepted by the Senate and
become law. l should say that this
supposition is unlikely to materialize.
I'm not going to make another re-
port on or analysis of the vote on
the labor bills. You have perhaps al
ready had too many in the news, by
radio and TV.

Her independent spirit is re-
vealed in an early incident. Her
husband, Charles Brown Doug
lass, was county magistrate. He
was opposed by a man who
later became governor of South
Carolina. One day Mrs. Doug
lass was returning home when
the Governor came through the
railroad cars. He stopped by to
say hello to all as he went down
the aisle and did the same to
Mrs. Douglass. But she ignored
his salutation and stared stub
bornly out the window. After
an embarrassed moment, the
Governor moved on.
Why didn't you answer
him?" a friend asked.
He had no more right to
speak to me than any other
man I didn't know" Mrs. Doug
lass replied.

THE HUMAN SIDE OF RELIGION
Mrs. Douglass Grew
With Sunday Pupils
BY CASPAR NAMES
Religious News Editor OF The star

Thirty-six years ago, as Mrs.
Sally Douglass stood in a
streetcar, a little girl shyly
inched up to her and said, IF
you take our class, I'll never
miss another Sunday"
Until then Mrs. Douglass oc-
casionally had substituted but
resisted efforts by the Sunday
school superintendent to take
a regular teaching position.
But the little girl won and
Mrs. Douglass took the class.
And, the 79-year-old teacher
this week smilingly recalled,
the little girl kept her word
and did not miss any classes.
Last Sunday Mrs. Douglass
was surprised by her present
class, alumni of earlier classes
and members Of Epworth
Methodist Church with a This
Is Your Life" program and
party.
Many of the 800 students
who have gone through her
classes were present. Those
who could not come sent let
tiers, and two former students,
one in the Belgian Congo and
the other at Baroda. India,
sent recordings that were
played.
Mrs. Douglass recalled that
she took over the class Of nine
small girls, including her
daughter Inez, and organized
it. When the time came for
the girls to advance to the
intermediate department. they
went to the Sunday school
superintendent and threatened
a shutdown strike unless theft
teacher went along.
So she advanced through the
grades with the class, finally
reaching and staying with the
adult class.
Memories of those days are
still fresh with Mrs. Douglass.
They include taking the girls
to a World Series baseball
game; the times they met
downtown and went to the
movies and then window shop
ping; the day a shy young
girl told her classmates the
boy friend was my brother. :"
The first baby born to a
member of the class was
named Jean Douglass Will
loughby" in her honor. Two
have been named with the
same view this year. and many
in the intervening years.
Before coming to Washington
in 1921 after the death of her
husband, Mrs. Douglass taught
a boys class at Shiloh Methodist
Church in her home town OF

counterparts at Westover Bap-

Before the groups got to-

two young men, strangers,
sought out the Rev. John D.

Raising the Sights

President Eisenhower has warm

should enlist the supporting interest OF
Mr.. and Mrs. America In the Presidents
determined fight for a balanced Federal
budget Imitation, he told his news con-
ference this week, Is here when you
take market basket full of money 10
the grocery store and bring back your
pocketbook filled with groceries" No
doubt the Presidents adversaries, pollti-
cal or economic, are unimpressed by
such a homely Illustration, or by "old-
fashioned" theories that there is any
harm in constantly adding debt 10 debt
lin good times as well as in bad.
Fortunately, the Presidents illus
tration is not a reality now. 1t has,
however, become such in other countries
in the past and at cost measured In
much more than money itself. 1t need
not happen here, but 1t can happen II
there is to be continuing disregard for
the impact Of deficit financing, for a
steady increase in the public debt and
the "unconscionable" costs Of servicing
IT, Massive make-work programs and
subsidies for every group capable Of
organizing political pressure are among
the sure steps toward state Of affairs
where only a market basket full of
money will buy the pocketbook full of
groceries-or where free economy is
replaced by a structure of absolute con-
trolls over prices, wages, salaries, choice
of occupations and even choice Of
spending.
In his budget message last January,
Mr.. Eisenhower set goal of balancing
the books in fiscal 1860. In the months
since, there has been relative stability
in price levels, spectacular recovery in
business and individual earnings, and
more recently a great improvement in
employment. There has been evidence
of growing public support, from the
average Mr.. and Mrs. America, for the
administrations point of view. The
greatest threats remain, Of course, In
flock of spending proposals on Capitol
Hill, but even there the legislative lead
ership on both sides of the aisle has
exercised moderating influence. At
his news conference, Mr.. Eisenhower de-
Scribed the balanced budget as mini
mum target" and even raised his sights
in an additional plea for some SURPRISES
and "a little at a time" reduction in
the debt. This is better program for
America-from Main to Wall Street
than the alternative Of trying to buy pie
in the sky with Government greenbackS.

Dredging Death Penalty

BY failing to indict three Maryland
fisheries inspectors held for killing a
Virginia FISHERMAN, Charles County
grand jury in effect has approved the
death penalty for oyster dredging
miSdemeanor. Certainly there was no
doubt that all three officers fired total
of q shots at the Virginia boat, whose
three occupants were suspected Of
illegal dredging in the lower Potomac
River. One of the bullets fatally
wounded Berkeley B. Muse of Oak
Grove, Virginia, and another slug
wounded Harvey King of Colonial Beach.
The evidence considered by the
grand jury has not been disclosed. But
testimony at preliminary hearing be-
fore magistrate showed that the three
officers fired three series of shots
warning shots across the bow of the
fleeing boat, shots directed at the hull
when the officers feared, they said, that
the other boat was trying to ram the
official craft, and more shots at the two
cupboard motors as the suspects boat
headed away. The Virginia survivors
of the barrage denied the ramming
charge and declared they did not know
the attackers were officers.
The firing of warning shots across
the bow Of the oyster boat was perfectly
proper, of course. But the firing Of
other shots in a misdemeanor case in
such a manner as to endanger the lives
of the occupants, however guilty they
may have been of oyster dredging, was
wholly unwarranted. And obviously, in
running chase shots cannot be aimed
at boat or it's cupboard motors without
risking the killing or injury of the boats
occupants. We think it is both ironic
and outrageous that the two surviving
victims of the reckless shooting ARRAY
were indicted for dredging, while the
officers who fired the shots go free.

BoIshoi Postscript

1t was pleasant and exciting that
WashingtonianS could catch a glimpse
at least of Moscow'S Bolshoi Ballet last
night at the Capitol Theater "BolShoi,"
which means greatest" in Russian, is
not merely superb ballet but is art that
is dramatically undiluted by contempt
rary politics.
That dance claSSiciSm shall remain
invincible to latter-day Russian infiu-
ence is perhaps too much to expect, yet
it is delightful as long as it lasts.
In cultural exchange terms, BolShoi,
deeply rooted in RuSSia'S aesthetic past,
is the most glittering of its exports to
this country. Lamentably, however, it
is just this that gives Sharpest and
most embarrassing point to its single
appearance in our Nations Capital.
In the natural flow of life and art,
Bolshoi should have played an extensive
engagement in Washington. Its failure
to do so is attributable to lack of facil-
titles, of concert hall or theater large
enough to accommodate the inevitably
huge audiences, plus stage proper
toned to the extravagant production
which is characteristic of BolShoi ballet.
Nothing could more sadly under
score our need for cultural center
worthy of our own and the international
performing arts.

Nov or Never

william E. Finley, director of the
National Capital Planning Commission,
is probably right in his belief that unless
Congress this year provides for start
on the Prince Georges leg of the George
Washington Memorial Parkway the
project may be dead forever" Congress
ought not to permit the parkway to
suffer such fate.
The House raised the prospect of
the. demise of the Prince Georges part of
the parkway when it eliminated from
the. Planning Commissions budget 81
million requested for the Federal share
81 land buying for the parkway. Prince
Georges County has promised to match
this, sum. Mr.. Finley told a Senate
AUTHORIZATIONS subcommittee that the
t1aifding of the new Potomac River
bridge at Jones Point will cause property
values to soar in the area sought for the
parkway. Already, he said, builders are
planning to improve part of the right
of way, so that later acquisition for
parkway purposes would be difficult and
expensive.
The right of way should be pur-
chased now, before the undertaking
becomes too costly and impracticable.
The parkway ought to be completed on
both sides of the river in order to fulfill
the original intent of Congress of con-
Structing useful memorial to George

restore the parkway fund to the pending
Dill and that the House will agree to let

Mail Complaint

While the Postmaster Gen.
eral asks for a raise of one
cent on first-claSS mail, I
would like to call attention
to the terrible abuse by ad-
vertising people who get pref
erential rates.
Rarely does a week go by
without my getting several
advertisements of the same
kind for things I have never
purchased nor expect to.
The handling and delivery
of all this mail must be a
considerable expense to the
Government. The Unite d
States has only one delivery
of mail a day, and it is easy
to understand that with this
huge overload of advertise
ments and so forth, it would
be impossible to do other
wise.
I do not see why flrst-class
mail should be penalized
while the existing conditions
continue on other mail.
