READ THE LABOR LAWS
In connection with the cur
rent discussion in Congress
about repeal of the Taft-
Hartley legislation, it might
be -well for the public to bear
in mind the fact that there
are three legislative proposals
under consideration.
The Adminstration bill in
troduced by Chairman Le
sinski, would kill the Taft-
Hartley Act and.reinstate the
old Wagner Act,' which some
changes recommnnded by the
President. Another measure,

EASTER VACATION ENDS
On April 15th, the House was
adjourned for an Easter vaca
tion or recess of ten days. The
House was far ahead of the
Senate with its work, due to the
long filibuster that was neces
sary in the Senate the right of
minorities. So we were allowed
to get away for a short rest and
for conferences with the people
back home.
No one will blame me I’m
sure for making a "bee line" for
Albany, Georgie where I have
a lovely grand -daughter only
five months-old. whom I hadn’t
seen in months, and an only
daughter whom I was anxious
to see after my months in
Washington.
I was in Albany but two days,
and spent the balance of my
vacation in Rome, where I had
the privilege of conferring with
people from all over the dis
trict. It was impossible to go in
to other counties, due to the
short period of time before my
return. Expect to vlkit each
county in the district as has
been my practice, as soon as we
recess for the Summer, which
should be some time late in
June or early July.
PAY FOR VACATION WITH
LONG HOURS
Since our return to Washing
ton, we have pa’d for our Easter
vacation with intensified com
mittee work and long hours in
the House, wh^re we are en
gaged in debate, as this is
written (April 29», on the Le
sinski Bill, which would repeal
the Taft-Hartley Act. This is a
very controversial matter, and
has brought forth much heated
argument, and some light, on.
the whole problem of Labor-
Management relations. The
Taft- Hartley Act has become
the symbol of oppression and
unfairness to laboring people,
both organized and un-organ
ized, whether or not this feeling
is justified.
It Is generally conceded that
the bill will be repealed. The
question is as to how many pro
vision.’ of the Taft-Hartley Act
will be carried forward into the
new Labor-Relatoins Manage
ment Act.
Those of us who want to see
a law passed fair to both man
agement and labor, and above
all protects the interest of the
public, will vete for amend
ments to the pending Lesinski
Bill that will complete this pur
pose. It is my opinion that a
fair law will result from the
long consideration given the
problem — probably the best
Labor - Management Relations
law we have ever had.
EUROPE WON, ASIA LOST
The above terse sentence
seems to me to sum up the sit
uation with reference to our
foreign relations The Berlin Air
Lift, and the signing of the
North Atlantic Pact, together
with the Marshall Plan seem to
have won for us the Cold War
In Europe. At this writing, the
Russians are asking for a four
power conference on Germany,
and have agreed to lift the
blockade of Berlin, which made
the Air-Lift necessary. There
, may develop some catch in the
proposal, but war seems further
away, and Peace may come to
Europe.
The story in Asia is dark and
introduced by Representative
Wood, would retain most of
the Taft-Hartley Act, while
repealing it in name.
There will be furious debate,
not only in Congress, but
throughout the -country, on
the merits of the legislation.
Most of those engaging in the
arguments wil not read either
of the three measures but will
debate vociferously on the bas
is of emotions and prejudice.
While it may be that the
old Wagner Act gave too much
of the edge to labor organiza
tions, the Taft-Hartley legis
lation undoubtedly went too
far in the other direction.
Something in between might
preserve the interests of the
public, with fairness and jus
tice to both labor and man
agement.
President sees no need for per
manent civil defense office.
We’ll all be proud of the
Memroial Home. Let’s finish it
right away. See a VFW or
American Legion member and
he’ll tell you how you can help.
A great amount of time is
consumed in talking nothing,
doing nothing, and indecision
as to what one should do—Mary

unpleasant to contemplate. The
•Reds have begun again their
victorious march, and promise
to dominate al) of China. Some
blame our State Department]
and the Department of Defense
'or' conditions in China. They
charge that we have failed to
furnish adequate aid in time.
To me and to those here who
know, this seems unfair criti
cism. The conditions in China
have come about because of the
corruption of the Nationalist
forces in that unhappy country,
and to social and economic
forces which no amount of aid
from us could have changed.
As a matter of fact, reliable
reports have it that the weapons
and supplies have in the past
made available to the Nation
alists have fallen into the hands
of the Communists, either
through corrupt sales or by cap
ture.
ASIA fl PUZZLE
As Winston Churchill said of
Stalin, Asia is e puzzle wrapped
up in an engine. No one can
forsee the result of the Com
munist conquest of China. Some
believe the Communist move
ment is a social and political
revolt against corruption and
intolerable social and economic]
conditions. Others believe it is
a part of the world-wide ef
fort of Russia to communise the
World. The truth probably lies
somewhere between the two ex
tremes of thought. That the
movement has Soviet backing is
beyond dispute The Communist
leaders say openly that they
will side with Russia should war
come with the U. S. Russia is
no doubt instigating and pro
moting the entire movement.
On the other hand, there is ।
no doubt but that literally mil
lions of Chinese have joined the ]
Comunists, not because they
believe in the Communist way
ot life, but because it is only
movement that promises relief
from intolerable economic con
ditions.
WATCH AND WAIT
Watch and Wait describes the
policy of our State Department.
In fact, that I* now the only
possible policy. China is too
vast, and her problems too grave
and Involved to permit our try
ing to pour money or other aid
down what now would be a
Communist Rat Hole. What
happens in China in the months
and years ahead, may have
grave and tragic effects upon
our future way of life. God alone
knows the answer. And he is
Just.
VISITORS
Upon my arrival in Washing
ton this week. I found T. J.
Espy, Jt., a prominent lawyer of
Summerville, Georgia, and his
lovely wife, who formerly served
as one of my very efficient sec

] t hem were Mr. and Mrrf. c. B
Akin of Chattooga County. Mr.
Akin is County Superintendent
jof Schools, and was here with
Mr, Espy to confer with Senator
Russell in an effort to get pass
ed in the Senate the Bill I got
passed tn 'the House to repay
Chattooga County for the
destruction of its high school
by fire while occupied by the
OPA in 1943. I was happy to get
this bill passed In the House
and feel sure our Georgia Sena
tors will see that it passes in
the Senate. Naturally it was a
pleasure to have the Espys and
Akins visit us.

FREEDOM
Do you wish to be free? Then
above all things love God, love j
your neighbor, love one another. I
love the common weal; then you I
will have true liberty.—Savon
arola
There are two freedoms —the
false, where a man is free to do ,
what he likes; the true, where
a man is free *o do what he
ought.—Charles Kingsley
None are more hopelessly en
slaved than those who falsely
believe they are free.—Goethe
It is impossible to mentally or |
socially enslave a Bible-reading
people. The principles of the |
Bible are the ground-work of
human freedom.—Horace GrCe- j
ley
The letter of the law of God, i
separated from its spirit, tends
to demoralize mortals, and must
Ibe corrected by a diviner sense
of liberty and light. — Mary
I Baker Eddy
Stand fast therefore in the
liberty wherew’th Christ hath
I made us free, and be not en
tangled again with the yoke of
bondage.—Galatians 5:1
COURAGE
I would define true courage
to be a perfect sensibility of the
measure of danger, and a men
|tal willingness to endure it.—
W. T. Sherman
That courage is poorly housed
which dwells in numbers. —
Aaron Hill
A great deal of talent Is lost
] in this world for the want of a
little courage—Sydney Smith

Truth comes from a deep sin
cerity that must always char
acterize heroic hearts; it is the
better side of man's nature de
veloping Itself. — Mary Baker

Courage consists not in haz
arding without fear, but being
resolutely minded in a Just
cause—Plutarch
