NAM and CIO Newses | ,
BY PETER EDSON
NEA Washington Correspondent
WASHINGTON—The National Association of
Manufacturers News and the Congress of lndustriali
Organization News both hit the desk on the same
day. Both are weekly tabloid newspapers of about‘
eiéfl}pagcs. NAM News is printed on slicker paper‘
though it's a little duller in content. ‘
Both are “must” reading for anyone trying to
keep up on Washington affairs and wanting to'
know what the labor and management lobbies are
up to. Both go in for poison pen journalism. Both
make anyone who reads them religiously sick at
his stomach. Waaaa!
Bach is extremely critical of the other’s point of
view. If you take the trouble to compare their
cqf;trage of the same story, it's almost impossible
to recognize that they're trying to tell you about
the same thing. All they have in common is that
they both seem to hate the government, bad.
iiere’s a sample, on the current high price situa
tion:
éi«ys CIO News under a heading, “Reaction, Re
cession Threaten America,” quoting Ralph Helstein
of the Packinghouse Workers: “We were promised
thdt normal competitive forces would bring prices
. down once OPA was destroyed. Since OPA was
+ _destroyed living costs have risen 20 per cent and
E‘gf the,government as yet has not taken any firm action
. against unlimited profiteering. The present disparity
; ':5; between wages and prices contains the seed for an
; '%‘%e?épomic catastrophe which would exceed any ex-
F ‘Tgp_e_tj,enced by our nation.”
é* Says the NAM News under the heading, “Bunting
%rfig‘pfice Blame,” quoting NAM President Earl
Bunting: “Mr. Truman himself can do more than
L gfipne else to reduce inflation by cutting govern-|
~ ment spending and reducing-taxes. How can busi
. nessmen help by careful planning when no prudent
| businessman can plan safely with any knowledge
. of what his wage, material, or other costs may be
*24 hours ahead? Why not put the great influence
o Ezhe administration behind labor legislation to
* remove the major uncertainties in present-day
’con‘ts?" |
' When it comes to glaring incunsistencies, both of
~% hese scandal sheets rate a couple of pew-litzer
‘:;g; )] [eS.
NAM News says CIO is conducting an amazing|
. campaign of intimidation. NAM News views with
_ alagm the fact that CIO News brags it has distri-‘
? uted hal{ a miilion copies of a pamphlet called
'Qfi?end Your Union” and a quarter of a million
g of Phil Murray's “Crisis,” warning that anti
i abor legislation is the first real step towards U.
' ¥et on the first page of this same issue, NAM
. News banners a story about its drive to collect $3
i}fl!lon for a “dynamic public relations program to
?..« industry’s message to the American people.”
gé‘ hile complaining about this NAM propaganda, the
. _IO News still thinks it's all right to collect a slush
‘und to help defeat pending labor bills.

CLOUDING THE ISSUE
l The long argufent over unification of
the armed forces has brought to light
!some rather odd thinking about the func
tions of a U. 8. Cabinet officer. Some op
ponents of unification seem to feel that a
secretary of national defense would be a
sort of omnipotent fuehrer who could dis
pose of any branch of the service on mere
whim or prejudice.
A proposed bill by Senator Robertson
of Wyoming, for example, would do away
with this suggested Cabinet post, retain
the present War and Navy secretaries,
land add a coordinator of national defense
at the head of a national security council.
This might readily have the effect of add
ing bureaucratic complications to a pro
posal which aims at greater simplification
and efficiency through unification.
Under our system of government Cabi
net officers are assistants to the President.
They concentrate their work in particular
fields of the President’s manifold duties.
There is a certain amount of independ
!ence connected with each office. But the
officers are responsible to Congress 'for}
the funds to operate their department,
and to the President on major policy.
It is a rare occasion when a Cabinet{
member goes over the President’s head to
act in opposition to his superior’s wishes.
When he does he usually finds himself out‘
of a job, as Henry Wallace did after his
Madison Square Garden speech.
In the light of these well-defined duties
it seems odd that the idea of a secretary
of national defense should fill se many
level heads with alarming visions. The
chief of o single defense department
would co-ordinate the functions of the
War and Navy departments. He would
also supervise the neglected matter ofl
surveying military and industrial resour-|
ces.
His duties would cover a larger field
than embraced by either of the present
Cabinet posts now concerned with our
defense. They would be comparable to
the broad area of the State Department’s
activities. But the present War and Navy
departments would still exist in a separ
ate, though subordinate, capacity. And
the new secretary would be delegated
only a part of the power that has always
resided in the President as Commander
in-Chief. .
The unification question has been given
the thorough examination that its import
ance descrves. All sides have had their
say. It seems too bad that, at this late
date, the issue should be clouded by
groundless fears and by efforts to com
plicate the existing setup further, while
calling it unification. _
THE MUNICH MIND
Senator Claude Pepper found new
proof for his contention that the Truman
Doctrine is a “political maneuver” in his
speech at Princeton University last week.
Russia is not leaning toward war, he said,
“for she needs peace more than any other
nation in the world despite expansion
ism.” .
So what would Senator Pepper do—
countenance expansionism as the price of
peace? Does he not think that Russia
would still need peace even if her expan
sionism by force of military and political
pressure were curbed? Does it not strike
him odd that a nation so war-ravaged is
not devoting herself solely to domestic
rehabilitation?
And what of the victims of expansion
ism? The senator is a champion of dem
ocracy, the rights and dignity of the com
mon man. Has he no word to say about
rigged elections, ,secret police, and other
unsavory accompaniments of Russian ex
pansgionism? Or does he dismiss all this as
propaganda?
When he condemns a counter-move
against aggression and speaks of peace
“despite expansionism,” we hear echoes
of the Munich conference. The situation is
substantially the same today. Appease
ment did not work in 1938, and it will not
work now. '
Belgium has a population of 8,350,000
and is divided into nine provinces. It is the
most crowded country in ‘Europe, with 710
inhabitants per square mile.
The U. S. system of national parks was
begun in 1872 with the creation of Yel
lowstone “as a pleasuring ground for the
benefit and enjoyment of the people.”
Early in the 20th century, the principal
Sicilian exports to the United States were
sulphur, wine and Sicilians. American
sulphur production slowed down the first;
American wines reduced the second mar
ket, and immigration laws almost halted
the third. . e e

Traffic in the port of Boston is second
only to New York, in the United States, in
value of imports and sea-borne passenger
trade. : (m mt S
i The principal mineral resources of the
'Belgian Congo are: copper, tin, tantalum,
iridium, uranium, radium, gold, silver,
iron, manganese, zinc and coal,
In India, more than half of all deaths
occur among children under 10 years of
age and malnutrition is believed to be the
principal cause of these deaths.
""he number of people who eat in res
taurants has more than doubled since
1940 and about 30 percent of all food
L expenditures are spent in eating places.

Sherry kept looking out of the
window. But she did not see the
skaters now. She saw the dull
leaden sky that fitted too closely
over the park.
Tony’s child coming into the
world without his knowledge!
No, he hag to know. A girl, his
wife really, torturing herself
through lonely hours and going
so gallantly down to grapple
with death alone. .
Could Tony bear that? she
wondered. But she knew really.
’ Tony couldn’t shirk. Tony
couldn’t shift responsibility, Tony

Sherry knew that her nails
were cutting her palms, but it
felt better like that. with hands
clenched and her body stiff.
She turned slowly to Joyce.
“’'m a dream,” Sherry told her.
“You're the one who's real.”
Joyce got up slowly. :
She said. “You can’t, Sherry!
You can’t! We've got to think of
Tony! He loves you: he’q be mis.
erable with me! Oh, don't you
see? He'd hate me!” '
Sherry could hear her wvoice
somewhere outside of her.
She said, “Yes. It'll be hard at
first, harder for you than any of
us. He'll want me and he’ll feel
you came between us; he'll try
not to shogw it but you'll know.
Then after a while the things
like me in you will grow and he’ll
accept ‘them sradually. Little by
little his love will be transferred.
