Furse's Fresh Flashes A Prize Subject EDITORIALS SAFETY RULES FOR SWIMMERS . The National Safety Council has the fol lowing suggestions for swimmers who will be attracted to the old swimming hole in the hot days ahead. Never dive into strange water. Know that the depth and bottom of the pool or stream are safe. Business men of small towns are like horses. They get the most accomplished when they stop kicking and begin to pull together. . Flipper Fanny, our dainty little contour twister from up the street, says her boy friend won't be on his knees when he proposes to her because she'll be on 'em. When you say "There ought to be a law," look it up and you'll. probably find there is one. . A Plattsmouth man says the modern girl wouldn't faint at hearing a risque story, nor at the sight of a mouse, but a sink full of dirty dishes will put her under for hours. A local little kid reports they don't have mirrors at his house. He says they just look a the towel to see if they're clean. One reason you don't see initials carved on the bride's new) silver these days, is that they are not taking any chances with the pace we're going of having to discard them in the future. I could never say a girl was as pretty as as a picture unless she had a nice frame.

Control of labor The Con federation General De Trabaja dores, largest labor union in Ar gentina, lias been taken over by Peron. No strike can be called if Feron opposes. Union men calling a strike are summarily fined, in some cases jailed. Freedom of Press ? ? 4 Control of press while there is official freedom of the press, Feron exercises powerful indi rect control by his supervision of newsprint, his influence over newspaper unions, and the prac tice of levying large fines on hostile newspapers which vi olate official ordinances. 5. Control of movies and ra dio the Argentine government now owns the two largest radio stations in the country. All other (stations are required to submit advance radio scripts on political questions fur censor ship.

C (NEA) In the first few days of Scna'e 9h House Labor Committee conferences to reconcile differences between Jhe Taft and Hartley labor reform bills, the conferees g-rt : through only nine of the 68 pages in the Senate bill. At this ra'e, it wouldn't be safe to expect final action on a labor 1 V.M1 muxh Vii.ff.rn iUn 1Trtirth Cif .lUlV. First reports from the conference committees indicate the bill they will work out as a com- promise won't be too tough- Industry-wide bar gaining and welfare funds won't be banned. Most of the provisions of the Hartley bill which the National Assn. of Manufacturers wanted will be toned down. In spite of this, the AFL and CIO lobbies keep up the chant that labor's rights are being crippled and the unions destroyed. This is, of course, part of the act. Every modification in the labor code proposed since the start of the war has been fought r v k j 1 .,1 I iSK I I Hitler, using national advertising? "When the next bill comes along in the Senate, would you ! like to see a similiar advertising campaign by NAM supporting tax introductions?" Note to constituents in view of the NAM questionajre, it it might be interesting for a congressman s constituents to send him a questionnaire inquir-' mg wnai lnnuences such as campaign contributions deter mined his vote on certain key questions (Copright. 1947, by the Bell Syndicate, Inc.) Edson hv the union heads. They opposed the Smith-Connally war labor relations act with its provisions for cooling off periods and strike votes. That bill worked out to the advantage of labor. Labor opposed the anti-Petrillo act. It hasn't made a bit of differ ence to either the unions or management. DIRE things were predicted to happen if the anti-portal-to-portal pay suit bill became a law. It has and they won't. And the world won't come to an end if the President signs or if Congress passes over his veto the Taft-Hartley compromise bill. As a matter of fact, the most effect this bill may have will be on Sen. Robert H. Taft himself. The bill in its final form will not con tain many of the provisions which Senator Taft started out to get. Taft's ideas and Minnesota Sen Joe Ball's still more extreme ideas got pretty well watered down through the efforts of Republican Sen. Jrving M Ives of Newt-York Taft is chairman of the House Labor Committee, and whatever bill comes out will be his baby and bear his name. This labor bill is apparently going to be Taft's major achievement in this session. Taft's long-range housing bill is stymied. The House doesn't want any part of it. Taft's ideas on federal aid to education will probably get nowl e for the same reason Taft himself says his health in surance bill will not be acted on till ext year. TWere may be a couple of political theories as to why nothing should be done about these measures this year. First is that .next year is election year and the impact of positive Republican action on public housing, health, and aid to education Jegislation will register more heavily cn the voters if nothing is done till next year A SECOND theory is that the Republicans feel their first job this ear is to cut taxes and make good on last year's election promises to economue Passing half a billion dollars' worth of new appropria tions for housing, health, and education wouldn't help. So for this year. Taft's political reputation and the buildup for his presidential ambitions must rest on passage of the labor legisla tion, which as outlined above isn't so much his Taft may sincerely believe this legislation is not "anti-labor." He thought that of his original bill, which was much stronger than the measure passed by the Senate. The hope is that when this legis lation becomes law it will be a stabilizing influence in industrial relations, without taking away anybody's sacred rights.
