LABOR:
Congress Reacts
Inflamed by labor unrest retard
ng reconversion, congress moved
'or passage of an ••anti-violence" act
jroviding a maximum penalty of 20
rears imprisonment for forcible In
-erference or threats against inter
;tate commerce. Labeled as an
inti-racketeering measure, the bill
{rew out of protest against the AFL
international Teamster union’s col
ection of funds from independent
Tuckers entering large cities where
he ITU is strongly organized.
While congress vented its wrath
igainst the strike wave with the
’anti-violence” act, it cooled to
move more slowly on President
Truman’s recommendation for anti
strike legislation calling for crea
tion of fact-finding boards empow
ered to look into both company and
inion books to determine merits of
wage disputes.
Hotly opposed by labor leaders,
he President’s proposal has been
lalf-heartedly received by industry,
with both parties continuing to
'avor the least possible restraint
lpon their full bargaining advan
tages in adjusting their differences.
UAW Backs Down
Meanwhile, negotiations proceed
td apace in the automobile in
lustry, where the powerful CIO
’Jnited Automobile Workers sought
maintenance of high wartime
wages.
A break in the CAW’i de
mands for a 30 per cent pay
boost came in its dickering with
Ford.with the union announcing
a willingness to compromise on
its position if the company pro
posed an annual wage and other
concessions like pensions, re
tirement compensation and va
cations.
In an effort to meet Ford in the
legotiations. the UAW also drew up
in unprecedented security clause
igainst wildcat strikes, agreeing on
he imposition of a $3 a day fine
igainst workers found guilty of an
inauthorized walkout for a first of
fense, and $5 a day for a second.
While the UAW-Ford discussions
progressed, the union's parley with
General Motors lagged a step be
lind, with President Truman seek
ing to actively intervene in the dis
pute with the appointment of a fact
lnding board to help speed settle
ment of the wage issue. Unlike the
machinery that Mr. Truman would
lave set up in his anti-strike legisla
tion, however, the G.M. fact-finding
poard lacks power to force either
party to turn over its books.
Production Off
Crippled by strikes, parts short
iges and labor scarcities, automo
pile production has fallen far below
previous expectations, with only
ibout 50,000 cars having been manu
factured up to mid-December out
jf a ye-ar-end goal of 500.000.
Of the Big Three in the in
dustry, only Ford has achieved
any kind of volume of output,
having turned out over 25,000
vehicles or about half of the
over-all total. G.M. production
has been retarded by the big
auto strike while Chrysler ac
tivity has suffered from supply
and labor shortages after a late
reconversion start caused by a
cleanup of government orders.
Packard, Nash, Hudson and Stu
iebaker have all fallen far behind
ichedule, while Willys-Overland’s
production of jeeps has been sty
mied during the last two months.
HOME BUILDING:
Seek Speed-Up
Moving to ease the nation’s strin
gent housing shortage. President
Truman mapped a broad over-all
program calling for the channelling
of building materials into lower cost
construction, imposition of price
control on new and old dwellings,
and emergency use of wartime gov
ernment shelters for home-seekers.
The President took action as Re
conversion Director Snyder de
clared that a million families al
ready are doubling up in existing
homes and the number may con
tinue to grow as service discharges
mount. With several years of peak
construction necessary to relieve
the situation, the industry will do
well if it puts up 500,000 dwellings
next year Snyder added.
In excercising its emergency pow
er to route building materials into
lower cost housing to accommo
date average pocketbooks, the gov
ernment will favor homes under
$10,000, with preference given to
vets. Essential industrial and com
mercial construction also will be
granted priority under the plan.
With housing expected to remain
short fseveral years despite in
creasing production, the President’s
proposal for legislation for ceilings
on new and old structures aimed at
keeping prices within reasonable
bounds to head off an inflationary
spiral.
In providing emergency facilities,
including army and navy barracks
and dormitories, for temporary shel
ter in crowded areas, the govern
ment will move the structures wher
ever necessary. At the same time,
surplus government building mate
rials also will be disposed of, with
70 per cent earmarked for low cost
housing.
To speed the program, President
Truman named former Mayor Wil
son Wyatt of Louisville, Ky., hous
ing expediter to work under Snyder.
PEARL HARBOR:
1 Testimony Clashes
i
Divergence of testimony over the
war department’s receipt of the
fateful "winds message” disclosing
Japan’s decision to wage war
against the U. S. on December 3,
1941, marked the congressional in
quiry into the Pearl Harbor dis
aster.
Whereas a top secret report of
the army’s Pearl Harbor inquiry
board stated that the navy had in
tercepted and decoded the mes
sage four days before the surprise
attack and then transmitted it to
the White House and war and state
departments, affidavits later ob
tained through a special investiga
tion asserted that the army had
never received the information.
Copies of the message have disap
peared from navy files, the army
board reported.
Undertaken by ihe war depart
ment after the army board had filed
ito report, the special investigation
was conducted by Lt. Col. Henry C.
Clausen, and disputed other facts
originally presented besides those
pertaining to the “winds” message.
In completing one week of testi
mony before the congressional
committee, Gen. George C. Mar
shall, ex-army chief of staff and
President Truman’s special envoy
to China, backed up the revised find
ing, denying that he had seen the
December 3 message.
FARM PRICES FOLLOW WORLD WAR I TREND
Si .. it?
After declining from the World
War II peak of 206 in July to 197
in September, the price index of
farm products, as compiled by the
department of agriculture on the
basis of August. 1909-July. 1914. re
covered to 205 in November. This
indicates a continuation of the World
War I price pattern which has been
rlosely duplicated since the out
K-oak of World War II, according to
—— . • ■■ I I
the Alexander Hamilton institute.
The trend of farm prices after
World War I points to a further
sharp rise in the early postwar pe
riod before prices slump back to a
more normal level. After a tem
porary weakness at the end of World
War I. the price index rose from
199 in February, 1919, to 235 in May.
1920. Prospects are deflation may
be postponed to 1947.

NUERNBERG ALLIED:
Faces Test
First great undertaking of its kind
to provide a precedent for the pun
ishment of war-makers, the Allied
tribunal trying top Nazis in Nuern
berg, Germany, will receive its stiff
est test if defendants press their
efforts to get prominent personages
In the U. S. and Britain to testify
as witnesses.
Under regulations drawn up by
the U. S., Britain, Russia and
France, the tribunal is empowered
to subpoena witnesses in other coun
tries, in which case the latter could
then appeal to their own national
courts against being forced to ap
pear. Upon the verdict of these judi
cial bodies, then, the authority of
the tribunal would be legally de
fined.
Under the tribunal's charter, the
defendants themselves cannot chal
lenge its validity, their early pro
tests having been denied and their
proposals for a mixed court of al
lied, neutral and German judges re
jected. As the case proceeded, U. S.
prosecutors outlined the conscrip
tion of hundreds of thousands of for
eign workers for slave labor in Ger
many.
BIG THREE:
Foreign Chiefs Meet
Simultaneous with Sec. of State
James F. Byrnes' departure for the
meeting of foreign ministers in Mos
cow, the U. S. state department re
leased its plans for the economic
reorganization of Germany, limiting
the Reich's industry to necessities
at the outset and pegging its living
standard to the European average.
Pressing European and Asiatic
diplomatic problems as well as the
control of atomic energy were high
General Eisenhower (left) sees
Secretary Byrnes off to Moscow.
on the Big Three’s agenda as the
Moscow parley took shape. Imme
diate cause of concern lay in the
troubled Iranian situation, where
Russia has resisted proposals for a
withdrawal of its troops from the
north in the midst of a Red-backed
autonomy movement in Azerbaijan
province, aiding the extension of
Communist influence in the oil-rich
middle east.
In advancing its plan for the eco
nomic revamping of Germany, the
U. S. said food shipments to the
Reich will be necessary during the
reorganization period of two years.
After that, the Reich should be able
to supply its minimum needs and
also produce enough to export
goods to balance import require
ments.
TROOP TRAVEL:
Claims Rail Cars
With 35 per cent of all coach seats
and 75 per cent of all sleeping space
on railroads diverted to troop use,
civilians faced difficult transporta
tion conditions over the holiday sea
son.
Charged with the task of moving
a million men during December
alone, with 660,000 debarking on the
west coast, the railroads anticipate
an equally heavy load during Janu
ary.
No less than 40 to 50 trains a day
are needed to keep Pacific ports
clear, with 90 per cent of all the
beds and seats for eastward travel
occupied by the military. Of the
22,000 men moving inland from the
west each day, 85 per cent travel
to destinations east of the Missis
sippi river.
Profits Doicn
Railroad profits during the first
nine months of this year declined
to 452 million from 503 million dol
lars in the corresponding period last
year, figures show. In view of this
showing, the prospect is that annual
profits in 1945 will be smaller than
in 1944.
Operating revenues during the
first nine months and especially in
September, fell below the record
high rate in 1944 while operat
ing expenses, on the other hand,
were at the highest rate in history

Guess Early on 1948 j
Presidential Candidates!
Truman Seen as Standard-Bearer of the
Democratic Party; Dewey Faces Fight
In New York to Stay in GOP Race.
By BAUKHAGE
News Analyst and Commentator.
i
WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street N.W.,
Washington, D. C.
National elections still are three
years away, but Washington politi
! cians and news correspondents—
1 particularly the latter—already are
I selecting "men to be watched."
The next campaign will be nor
mal in at least one respect, name
ly, that the Democratic candidate
for all practical purposes already
has been chosen. Unless the par
ty’s hierarchy wishes to confess
failure of a policy of government it
has espoused with only occasiohal
j departures, the ticket will be headed
| by President Harry S. Truman. As
| a matter of fact, that can now be
i dismissed from conjecture; unless
fate intervenes, Truman is the can
didate.
However, passing of a President
id the elimination from the po
litical scene of an incumbent in the
vice presidency, plus election of a
Democratic mayor in New York
City have combined to encourage
election forecasting. Mayor-elect
I William O’Dwyer will not figure per
sonally, but because he ran rough
shod over the nominee of Governor
Thomas E. Dewey, head of the Re
publican national ticket in 1944, he
I has brought national implications
into what otherwise would have
been simply a municipal ballot.
Who will be Truman’s running
mate, currently is a popular sub
ject of debate in political circles.
Whom the Republicans will place
an their ticket runs a close second.
Taking those developments up in
Inverse order, attention first comes
to Governor Dewey. His was the
presidential chance discounted by
the election of O’Dwyer in New
York City, over Josiah Goldstein, a
former Democrat turned Republi
can—a circumstance that didn’t
help him one bit in an overwhelm
ngly Democratic community head
ed for the past 12 years by Mayor
LaGuardia. The Little Flower de
fied description by party label, but
ais replacement on January 1 will
be regarded as substitution of a
Democrat for a Republican. No one
familiar with New York state poli
tics needs to be told how poor are
the chances of a candidate for
governor who lacks city support.
Dewey faces the New York elec
torate two years hence. And he
loes it, recent history indicates,
vithout city backing. If he fails to
gain another term at Albany, that,
plus his defeat for the presidency,
just about ends him as a contender.
Strong GOP
Zompetitora Loom
Assuming, if only for the sake of
ieveloping the thought, that this
iiagnosis by Washington scribes is
accurate, upon whom does the
mantle fall? The subject becomes
iifficult at that juncture, but there
are two who stand out so far in
Iront of other aspirants as to make
diem virtually alone in the field.
Dne is a disciple of the old school,
the other an ultra-modern in poli
tics—the former. Senator Arthur
Jandenburg of Michigan; the lat
ter, former Governor Harold Stas
len of Minnesota.. A close third,
and a vigorous contender, is ex
Dovernor John Bricker of Ohio. A
jolitical catalogue could hardly re
:ord three more differing types.
Senator Vandenburg is the most
politically orthodox of the three. His
•xperience in public life has been
ronfined wholly to the United States
senate, but he has made the best
)f every political break. A forceful
srator, he captures headlines, is
mown throughout the country.
There is no bluster to his oratory;
t has been pointed at specific ob
jects and he has clicked. With the
aountry facing an era of internation
al dealings of transcendent impor
ance, he is well versed in world
affairs He was chosen over several
ather illustrious party members as
a Republican delegate to the Unit
ad Nations conference at San Fran
:isco, where he acquitted himself
well.
In the field of labor relations—sec
>nd today only to international
aroblems—he was the sponsor of
he recent labor-management meet
ngs in Washington, which, if they
lid no more, proved that employers
and employees can sit down at the
same table and discuss their dif
ferences even if they cannot eradi
cate them. That was a major step
ping stone toward amity. It was la
beled the President’s Labor-Man
agement Conference. Both sides,
and the rest of the nation, know it
was Vandenburg’s.
Former Governor Stassen stands
in a position to become the first
veteran of World War II to become
President, just as the incumbent,
President Truman, is the first vet
eran of World War 1 to achieve that
high estate. Stassen has youth plus
experience as the chief administra
tor of a state which is important
politically and geographically. Like
Vandenburg, he also was a delegate
to San Francisco, but in any frank
appraisal of their roles in interna
tional politics, he must give ground
to the Michigan senator. However,
Stassen has captured popular imag
ination by his forward-looking atti
tude toward the tantamount subject
of the day, the atomic bomb. He
has a faculty for capitalizing on
issues.
Governor Bricker faces the draw
back that “he’s been to the well"
before. He failed to win the Re
publican presidential nomination in
1944 and had to be content with sec
ond place. But who could win
against the wave of Dewey senti
ment then washing over the nation?
That he has made a splendid state
administrator even Democrats ad
mit What he lacks is recogni
tion outside his own state; he has
suffered from the accusation that
he is provincial. His declarations
on foreign affairs as a vice presi
dential candidate a year ago
weren’t marked for their profundity,
weren’t convincing. Unless all pres
ent plans miscarry, Bricker will
try for the United States senate.
That would give him the national
sounding board he needs.
Bricker is handsome (an attribute
which cannot be overlooked in these
days of women’s vote), he’s an
able speaker and a war veteran.
The latter will be « factor to be
carefully weighed when the 1948
ticket is made up. And this time
he’ll have the wholehearted support
of Senator Robert A. Taft of his
home state, something he lacked in
a practical sense before. Taft was a
candidate himself. This time he
says he will not be.
Democrats Vie for
Vice Presidency
On the Democratic side, the goal
hopefuls will be shooting for is the
vice presidential nomination. The
field is rather open, but not to the
more obvious personages. There is,
of course, no vice president today.
Senator Kenneth McKellar func
tions on the job as president pro
tern of the senate. Actually, in
spite of public thought to the con
trary, that doesn’t make him the
second highest officer of the federal
government. Protocol places the
speaker of the house next to the
President. As a matter of record.
President Truman has asked con
gress to enact legislation creating
statutory succession to the presi
dency with the speaker preferred
over the president pro tern of the
senate should vacancies occur in
both the presidency and the vice
presidency. Translated into sports
talk, McKeUar is "in on a pass.”
In any event, McKellar will be
approaching 80 years of age when
the next convention rolls around
and would be out of the running on
that score if for no other reason.
A dark horse in the long-range
predictions is Senator Brian Mc
Mahon of Connecticut. A first-term
member, he trimmed the popular
and able Senator John Danaher,
Republican, to win his office. He
has many of the attributes which
won votes for Thomas Dewey a
year ago—he’s young, just turned
42; he has proved himself an able
prosecutor while serving as chief
of the criminal division in the de
partment of justice when he cleaned
up such messes as the Harlan mine
outlawry; he’s a White House inti
mate. a vigorous speaker, self-made
man with a substantial accumula
tion of worldly goods gained in the
practice of law, and he’s chairman
of the senate's committee to develop
national policy on atomic energy.
In gaining the latter distinction,
he overthrew the senate seniority
rule and by-passed older members
who aspired to that important post.

Parity Price Formula
Facing Fierce Attack
FARM organizations who are now
1 setting their sights for revision of
the parity formula governing prices
of farm products have before them
a well-defined recipe of how NOT to
make friends and influence people.
Setting up this formula means ev
erything to the farmers and the
rural population in these immediate
postwar years, just as achieving
a labor peace formula meant every
thing to management and labor 'n
the recent labor - management con
ference. This much-publicized meet
ing ended ignominiously in utter
failure.
•ut the labor-management confer
ence was governed by greed. Intol
erance, bigotry and suspicion, and
so long as these forces govern
thought and action there can be no
effective performance of democra
tic processes.
President Truman told the labor
management conference: “I want to
make it clear that this is your con
ference . . . this is your opportunity
to prove that you can come to under
standing and agreement without
polilicai or governmental pressure.”
And 36 tycoons of management
and 36 tycoons of labor met and
wrangled for weeks, accomplished
nothing, and crawled out of Wash
ington with their tails between their
legs. They couldn’t deliver because
they were unreasonable men on
both sides whose attitude was. “the
public be damned.”
Fact-Finding Boards
And now government steps In
with the Presidential demand for
congressional action, not to outlaw
strikes, but to set up fact-finding
boards, much the same as in the
Railway Labor act, which has been
successful In averting strikes for 19
years. The boards will let the pub
lic know the facts on both sides and
then there will be a "cooling-off"
period of some 30 days during which
a strike will be illegal.
Whatever be the fate of this legis
lation, whether it is passed or not,
and we believe it will be, labor
hasn’t a leg to stand on and neither
has management, in objecting to so
called government interference.
Both labor and management have
proved they cannot keep their own
i houses In order, and government has
the responsibility for protecting the
public interest. When strikes in
such national Industries as steel
and automobiles, telephones, trans
portation or other utilities affect
large segments of the people, a re
sponsible government cannot mere
ly "stand by.’’
It is true that the congress has
conducted a sit-down strike on all
legislation affecting labor for the re
conversion period. And labor at
tempted to take matters into its
own hands, assuming dictatorial at
titudes which have no place in our
democratic way of life. Manage
ment was equally dictatorial and
imperialistic and unwilling to give
and take ... to bargain, in an at
tempt to reach a common ground
which might be satisfactory to a
majority concerned.
It is the guess of your Hometown
Reporter that labor, rather than
oppose the President’s recom
mendation, had better urge for its
passage lest an anti-union congress
force through more drastic reforms
which might in the end hurt the
unions seriously. The President’s
recommendations can help labor
and management both, since the
plan has worked successfully over a
long period in the case of the rail
roads and their employees.
Must Be Fair to All
So reconversion for the agricul
tural industry, which will include
such troublesome questions as sur
pluses, subsidies, a new parity
price formula and other factors,
must consider the public interest as
well as that of the farmers. A com
mon ground of agreement satisfac
tory to a majority of those inter
ested must be found.
As Secretary of Agriculture Clin
ton P Anderson pointed out in a
recent speech before the milk pro
ducers in Philadelphia: ‘‘subsidies
are still in effect. Now 1 know that
milk producers generally prefer to
get all of their prices in the market
place. However, holding the line on
cost of living is vital If we are 10
prevent disastrous inflation which
could ruin the future of farmers
and of city folks alike.”
Which brings Into focus the point
that fair prices to farmers as well
as fair wages for labor should oe
on the basis of abundance of pro
duction at prices that are fair to
both the producer and the con
sumer. These prices, In the case of
the farmer and laborer as well,
would assure to both a fair share
of the national income.
With the example of stupid intoler
ance and bickering as set by the la
bor - management conference, the
farm leaders have only to steer an
opposite course when hearings begin
on their own problems.

CAPITAL TRANSIT CASE
IGNORED BY COMMITTEE IN
TRUMAN CONFERENCE
.
Washington, D C—It has just j
been revealed that in the all im
portant conference with President
Truman December 17 on the pre
sent and future status of FEPC,
Malcolm Ross, FEPC chairman,
did not even mention to the Pre
sident the now famous Capital
Transit case, in which Mr. Tru
man practically spanked the Com
mittee and told it to be quiet by
forbidding it to issue a directive.
While the President's action cre
ated a furor of Indignation, result
ing in the resignation of Commit
tee member Charles H. Houston,
Chairman Ross evidently thought
it of so little importance as not to
require discussion in a personal
conference with the President.
In answer to an inquiry from thc
NAACP as to why the case had
not been mentioned, Chairman
Ross telephoned December 20 that
he had no statment to make.
