Capifal Lobbying Shows Big
Cast, Some Pretty Good Plots
WASHINGTON.—(NEA)—Every so often, it 1s
useful to make a list of what some of the bigger
loobies and pressure groups in Washington are
working for and are up to, it gives a better idea of
wnat goes on here. It helps explain why a lot of
tuings are or aren’t being done by Congress,
Siggest lobbying activity in town right now is on
tax reduction. Over 200 organizations and indi
v.auals wanted to testify on tnis subject before the
i .use Ways and Means Committee. The job of
c..opping down the witnesses to manageable num-
L.. 3 was tremendous,
~erhaps the newest organization to appear on
ti.e lobbying front in this connection is a Nat=-
ivnal Committee for Repeal of Wartime KExcise
waxes, of New York, President Truman has of
course recommended cutting. excise taxes only to
w.e extent that other taxes are raised,
But the N, C, for R. of W. E, T. sent a high=
powered delegation to town to insist on “across
wne board” repeal of excise taxes. Among its wit=-
nesses were Kric Johnston of the movies, Andre
Bulova of the watch company, Louis Ruthenburg
of Servel.
Stanley Ruttenberg of CIO also favored repeal
ol excise taxes, but the similarity stopped there.
incidentally, the economic adviser to the N, C.
for R. of W. E. T, was none other than your old
Iriend Leon Henederson, once boss of the OPA
and generally damned then as the enemy of all
pusinessmen.
Right up the same alley, the Radio Manufactur=
ers Association was on hand to register a protest
against Treasury’s proposal to slap a 10 percent
tax on new TV set purchases,
EVEN PETRILLO’S IN THE ACT
James C. Petrillo of the musicians’ union wants
the 20 percent entertainment tax cut, He says this
tax is responsible for the 23 percent drop in cab- s
aret and dance hall business in the last two years,
with resulting unemployment for his musicians.
But he doesn’'t explain why admissions were sO
high before, under the same tax.
American Automobile Association, Automobile
Manufacturers’ Association, American Trucking
Associations and similar groups are concentrating
against automobile and lubricating oil excise
taxes.
National Associated Businessmen, Inc.,, announ=
ces a two-day crusade to have Congress put a tax
on all co-operative businesses.
National Highway Users Conference is inter=
ested in seeing that gasoline and auto tax receipts
are used only for the building and maintenance of
roads.
Railroads are fighting Post Office and Justice
Department efforts to get a full Interstate Com=
merce Commission trial on the railroads’ request
for a mail pay increase, without trial,
American Farm Bureau Federation is opposing
boosts on parcel post rates. The national maga
zines are bucking proposed increases on second=
class mail rates,
Aircraft Industries Association is plugging &
proposal to have the government finance the
building of jet-powered transport and cargo plane
prototypes, on the grounds this subsidy is neces
sary for defense.
Veterans’ organizations are all attacking Hoover
Commission reports, as they would affect Veterans’
Administration reorganization, the handling of
vets’ insurance, GI benefits and hospitals,
REAL ESTATE LOBBY SHOWS MUSCLE
National Association of Home Builders and
National Association of Real Estate Boards are
trying to block passage of the Administration’s
middle-income and co-operative housing aid bill.
The United States Cuban Sugar Council is pro
testing against restricti’ons on imports of raw
sugar from that island.
National Petroleum Council has a war on
against the British decision to cut down om im
ports of oil from the U, S. and other areas which
require payment for the oil in dollars,
And so on. But of all the pressure groups oper
ating in Washington, union labor headquarters
are now the most vocal and put out the largest
volume of stuff. They take stands on everything,
whether the issue has anything to do with labor
or not. For instance, they protest to the State De~
partment on the furnishing of arms to the Arabs
by the British. CIO Executive Board, at its recent
one-day session in Congress, passed resolutions on
22 different subjects now before Congresg and the
administrative agencies in some form.
It takes a smart congressman to chuck all this
stuff in the wastebasket, or let it flow in one ear
and out the other, in order to make up his own
mind on all issues, in the national interest,
Honest Self-Criticism
.
Prime Need of Labor
Labor leaders don’t often indulge in self-critie
cism, so when they do the event should be marked
well.
We had such an instance the other day when
George M. Harrison, president of the Brotherhood
of Railway Clerks, took his fellow unionists to
task for too often ignoring the general good while
serving their own selfish interests.
The labor movement, he said, probably “places
too much emphasis on the narrow policy of higher
wages and shorter hours to the neglect of other
important matters.”
Brother Harrison’s words are refreshing, It's
the first inkling we’'ve had that labor may not he
as pure as its spokesmen so stoutly maintain,
No reasonable person wants labor to nod an
eager second to every charge leveled against it, or
to indulge in a rash of self-censure. But it would
welcome proof of growing maturity if unions
would concede they are as much guilty of human
error and excess as the next fellow,
Unfortunately the chief offenders in promot
ing the idea that labor is without gin have been
its highest leaders, William Green, president of the
AFL, and Philip Murray, head of the CIO. One
may comb their public remarks diligently without
encountering the slightest hint that all is not per
fect within their domains.
This attitude was most pointedly evident in the
1947 and 1949 congressional hearings on the Taft-
Hartley law. Undoubtedly many lawmakers ap
proached labor law revision in vindictive fashion.
But many others were moderate men earnestly
worried by the impact of labor strife on the gen
eral welfare.
These men sought vainly first to get labor to
admit shortcomings which were plainly written in
the nation’s economic history, and second to pro
pose its own plan for better labor relations. Unions
took the view that no problems existed and hence
no law was needed.
It’s hard for a bystander to see how this juve=
nile stubbornness is any more commendable than
the blindneses of the many industrialists who so
long insisted there was no “labor problem.”
Taft-Hartley will loom large in the 1950 elec
tion campaign. And if the Democrats retain their
grip on Congress, next year is certain to see an
other try at repealing that act.
The best thing Green and Murray can do mean=-
time is to engage in the sort of searching self-ex=
amination suggested by Harrison in his recent
Detroit speech, When they come to Capitol Hill a
third time, let them be ready to offer an honest
labor program of their own. The country has had
enough of these absurd professions of lily-white
innocence.
Operation Etiquetchup
The Army handed out a stern lesson in table
manners recently, Two enlisted men were court
martialed for refusing to pass the ketchup to a
sergeant,
“Increased respect for senior non-commissioned
officers, along with a keener awareness of correct
table manners, is expected of all Gl's as the re
sult of the trial,” the Army said,
This sounds as if the top brass expected the
boys to rush out and gobble up copies of Emily
Post’s Etiquette.
A more likely result will be a new password to
denote the approach of a sergeant; “Please pass
the ketchup!”
Get Together, Boys
Chrysler’s public relations department ought to
speak to the motorized union pickets who strung
an automobile cordon around two of the com=
pany's strike-bound plants,
News photographs show that five of the first six
cars in one picket line were produced by one of
Chrysler’s chief rivals,
Liaison between workers and hucksters seems
pretty weak. The latter overlooked a swell chance
to show the country the kind of cars that can't
produce these days.
We are grateful for it (Marshall Plan aid) and
we are not ashamed of it. We have given assist
ance to other nations at our own loss and difficulty,
and we are not ashamed of that either. —= Prime
Minister Clement Attiee of Great Britain,
Bob (Topping) and I have had our fill of night
clubs. We enjoy staying at home, It sounds dull,
but it isn’t.—Actress Lana Turner,
It's a mistake to think you ever can make an
agreement with the Communists. It is their philos=
ophy to keep things stirred up. — General Omar
Bradley, ¢hairman, Joint Chiefs of Staff,
There will be no German army or air force.
German security will be best protected by German
participation in a closely knit West European
community. — U, 8. High Commissioner in Ger=
many John J. McCloy.
It's bad enough to be the black sheep in the fam
ily without being made the goat for everything.

REVIEW YOUR LIFE l
AND REVERSE
This matter of taking the initial
step is so important that if you do
not really take it the rest of abun
dant living will be a sealed book to '
you. As someone said of another,
“He hasn’t the combination;” andl
when you haven’t it, you can't get
at the locked treasures of God. {
At the risk .f seeming tedious
we will go back again over some{
of the same ground, this time us
ing a different ladder. For I know
that many may have gone through
our last week’s study of the steps
without actuaily taking them. I
would. gather in that last hesitart
soul before we go on. For what
lies zhead is too good to be mnissed.
You will remember we are
working our way through the five
steps of the scientific method. We
have lingered on the second and
third steps, picking out the most
likely hypothesis and experiment
ing with it. We have picked out
Christ as the most likely hypothe
sis and are now experimenting
with Him as the Answer.
This ladder will be even simpler
‘than the other, using nine R’s upon
‘which to step up and out. (1) Re

of a battleship floodlight, and pro
duces so much heat that it must
be cooled with 45 gallons of water

Along with the light, the in

light intensity.

The probe at present will con
centrate on disturbances of nuc

body cells. Previous research by
Dr. Robert E, Stowell, cancer re
