Show i I It May Turn Out to Bo a Sad Wadding Day PROVO, UTAH COUNTY, UTAH, TUESDAY, APRIL 4, 1944 The Washington Merry-Co-Round A Daily Picture of What's Going On in National Affairs By Drew Pearaoa (Col. Robert 8. Allen on active dnty) Editorial .... It Was a Great Fight The big fight between the right and left wings of New York's American Labor Party is over, and it was quite a scrap while it lasted. Who won? Well, that's a little hard to say. The left wing won the primary election and got control of the state machine. The right wing walked out, leaving their opponents oppon-ents with the original party's name and whatever prestige clings to it. But they also left the other side with the charge of being Communist-controlled. The left wing has denied that, of course. But the charge, considering its source, is not easy to laugh off. If the National Association Associa-tion of Manufacturers, for instance, had said the same thing, the defense would have been easy. The left wingers could have just yelled "Fascist" or "labor baiter" or some such, and let it go at that. But the accusation comes from labor men, not labor baiters. They had attended the American Labor Party's Par-ty's birth, and had worked with some of the men who have now superseded them. It will take a lot of shouting to convince most people that these men are talking through' their hats. There is obvious logic, at least, behind this charge of Communist control. After Earl Browder, American Communist leader, announced that his party was withdrawing from the political arena under its own name, there wasn't anywhere for the Communists to go except the ALP. Naturally, they would not have been caught dead in the Republican Republi-can ranks. And in spite of their recent support sup-port of President Roosevelt, their presence would have embarrassed the Democrats intolerably. in-tolerably. The most natural thing was for them to gravitate to the ALP, and take refuge under the left wing of Rep. Vito Marcantonio. Mr. Marcantonio is the ALP's only congressman. And though not a Communist, he has followed fol-lowed the sinuous party line during his stay in Washington, being alternately for and against war, and for and against the President, Presi-dent, as Communist policy dictated. It is not surprising that when the Communists moved in with their aims, ideals, zeal and organizational organiza-tional ability, the more conservative ALP members should have rebelled. It was a bit awkward for many C. I. 0. members that Sidney Hillman. chairman of the C. I. O. Political Action Committee, is one of the key men of the victorious, Red-labeled Red-labeled ALP faction. And some of the President's Presi-dent's supporters who are finickv ahnur thm,. political bedfellows may not like all the pub- candidate E- O.

Both camps have come out for the re-election of Mr. Roosevelt, Roose-velt, Vice President Wallace and Senator Wagner. If Mr.' Roosevelt decides to run again, his labor support in New York will be split. But that appears to be the only difference. There will be no unified, influential ALP as there was in 1940, when the labor party carried the state for the President by giving him a vote of 417,418 when his final plurality plural-ity was only 224,400. Aside from outward appearances, however, how-ever, the ALP fight probably will not make a handful of votes' difference in a fourth-term fourth-term election. WASHINGTON The other day, big Jim Farley Far-ley dropped a remark which didn't attract much public attention, but packed powerful significance among the politicoes. "I don't discuss politics on business trips," said Jim when queried by news men. This apparently innocent remark meant one of two things or probably two things wrapped into one. First, it may be true, as previously rumored, that the Coca Cola people (for whom Jim works) are getting worried about Jim arousing too much political animosity. After all, you can't have too many political enemies and sell soft drinks at the same time. Second, Jim may be lying low until after the next New York state democratic meeting, at which time the O'Connells of Albany and other Roosevelt forces threaten to unseat Farley as chairman of the Democratic state committee. Real fact, of course, is that hitherto Jim has been politicking on Just about every trip he has taken, with the exception of that to South America Jim eats, lives, and breathes politics wherever he goes. And this is the first time he has even pre tended to lie low. Despite his pipe-down, however, Roosevelt Democrats in New York are determined to depose Jim as state chairman. They say it would be absolutely abso-lutely disastrous to let him go to the Chicago convention con-vention as head of the New York delegation and opposp a fourth term. Meanwhile, it has become more and more apparent ap-parent that Big Jim is the man really behind Harry Har-ry Woodring, the little gentleman from Kansas whom Roosevelt finally ousted as secretary of war. Harry claims that he has either raised or is pledged $1,050,000 to put a separate Democratic candidate in the field. Politicoes credit Jim Farley with having raised the lion's share, ably assisted by Eugene Stetson, president of the Guaranty Trust company, who. like Farley's business backers, also hails from Georgia. Note Big question in political minds is: If Jim defeats Roosevelt by backing Woodrlng's third party, would lie accept a Republican reward by taking a cabinet post in a Republican administration administra-tion ? Some say Jim would do anything to get back at his old friend and boss, the president. BARl'CH TURN'S CHEEK V U J- I , -vJ 1 .

GOP BOOMERANG IN OKLAHOMA Certain senatorial colleagues of millionaire oilman oil-man Senator Ed Moore of Oklahoma, are now saying say-ing "I told you so" regarding Oklahoma's recent special election. Oilman Moore led the Republican fight for trict. but Clark lost by a worse margin than he did in 1942. The Democratic victory had national significance sig-nificance because many observers, including this 'columnist, have felt that Oklahoma had a rood chance of going Republican next November. However, certain Republican colleagues of Senator Sen-ator Moore are now noting that he was the worst man in the world to go down to Oklahoma to lead the Republican fight, for the second district is largely agricultural and Moore has chalked up to his record a resounding vote against crop Insurance About 23,000 Oklahoma farmers take out crop His face was full, his features large. His complexion was light and inclined to turn pink at the slightest excuse. But his crowning glory was his hair. It was snow white, thick, long and wavy. This hair was the Judge's vanity. His progress down the streets of the towns in his circuit was marked, not by greetings which merely included in-cluded a touching of the fingers to the hat, but by frequent complete removals of the wide-brimmed Stetson. Like Samson, his glorious white hair was the Judge's only weakness. weak-ness. His costume, which today would be regarded as affectation, if not burlesque, was honest. The Judge was an important public official. He dressed himself In keeping with the impressiveness Pointing out that such a de velopment has social as well aa economic meaning, Trippe said. "In this field of air transporta tlon. the true objective is to bring to the life of the average man those things which were once the privilege of only the fortunate few. The average man's holiday has, in the past, been the prisoner Of two grim keepers money and time. His enjoyment of the world has been circumscribed by the high walls of his economic jail. We can level these prison walls only by bringing down travel costs and by shortening travel time. "This the Air Age will do.

This line of reasoning has been followed frequently in dickering with Army and Navy price adjustment adjust-ment boards on renegotiation of excess profits. Individual machine toolmakers argue that since they have already supplied their postwar post-war market for a decade or more, they should be allowed greater profit margins to build up p6st-war p6st-war reserves. By and large, this argument has fallen on deaf ears J in Washington. I Also, a new note of optimism is beginning to be heard, like the first robin of spring on the grass plots around the offices of the machine tool builders. Pencils have Draft of Womanpoiver The American Association of University Women has gone on record as favoring the drafting of women for military service, if the need is demonstrated by the War and Navy Departments. This is a bold statement state-ment on a touchy subject that has been hinted at often but seldom discussed openly. There is bound to be considerable opposition, opposi-tion, much of it based on whispered exaggerations. exag-gerations. This is unfortunate and unfair to the splendid young women already in the service and the execellent job they are doing. But if manpower needs become increasingly acute, the subject of selective sen-ice for women will have to be discussed sanely, fairly, fair-ly, and openly. In such a discussion three points at least will surely be put forth in favor of conscription: conscrip-tion: the almost unanimous approval by top military officials of the work already done; the failure of recruitment to meet WAC and WAVE quotas; the great assistance that English women have given under a compulsory compul-sory service law. insurance, through the government bn cotton and ! and seriousness of his duties wheat. Government crop insurance is the onlv kind they can get. They cannot even insure through Lloyd's, and yet, without insurance, a farmer can be wiped out overnight by hail, cinch-bugs cinch-bugs or floods. Farmers claim that crop insurance is lust as essential to them as fire insurance to a business man. Senator Moore, however, voted against it. Despite this, he went to a heavy farm district to campaign for a Republican congressman. He lost. Note Capitol Hill observers are wondering whether some of the reactionary votes cast in the past by other Senators and Congressmen may not come back to haunt some congressional candidates next November. SLEEPING-CAR MONOPOLIES If you have trouble getting even an upper berth on a Pullman, take a leaf from the big war contractors. They have hit on a new scheme to insure peacetime comfort on crowded trains. Companies which have large war orders do not depend on 10-day advance reservations like the average traveller. They buy up whole blocks of Pullman berths on trains from New York, Chicago, Detroit, Los Angeles and other places one month in advance. Then they turn around and bill the government for this expense, under their cost-plus contracts. All meals and liquid refreshments on trains (though not itemized as such) also are charged to the gov ernment. Anything goes under a cost-plus contract The war and navy departments also follow the war contractors system. The railroads now have a standing order to reserve 50 per cent of their Pullman space one month in advance for service people travelling on war business. Between th ewar contracors and service travellers, congressional Investigators who have to travel out Of town on short notice frequently are up against it. Not long ago, Representative Ed Izac of California tried to get 10-day advance reservations res-ervations for a naval affairs subcommittee, but couldn't. When he complained to railroad officials, he was told: Sorry, congressman, but two big in dustrial concerns cleaned us out several weeks ago." (Copyright, 1044 by United Feature Syndicate, Inc.)

So while Old Jan talked, I watched the Judge's hair as his bead bowed and shook to the telling tell-ing of the Norberg-Klan story. "Why did you say that Germany or Bussia might have won the war?" the Judge Inquired, breaking break-ing in on grandfather's monologue. "It was foolish, I know," replied Old Jan, "but I was getting sore about this young squirt. He was drunk, but a drunken pup can get under your skin with impudence, too. I shouldn't have said it, I know. He didn't know what he was talking about, and the question didn't mean anything. Maybe I've got a streak of perversity in me. After all, who knows who won the war? Say the weight of America won the actual combat, the actual war up to the Armistice. But that was what it was, an armistice. Then we quit, pulled out, checked it. But great movements are still going on in this world, great forces are at work, huge armies are abullding. Nobody knows, Judge, who won the war. Maybe it was Germany, maybe even Russia, maybe America. Who knows?" T DIDN'T understand this line of argument. America had won the war as far as I had ever heard, although, of course, at that age I hadn't heard very much. It wasn't until many years later that I learned wfrat was in the back of Old Jan's mind as he talked to Judge McNamara. "Well," the Judge replied thoughtfully, "I don't know that 1 agree with you, but I can't see that there was anything particularly communistic in the remark. It might have been foolish and inopportune, inop-portune, but Norberg certainly was asking for it, for anything that might have been handed him. And what you said certainly didn't justify what the Klan did, and that's what I came out to talk about. As a matter of fact, nothing justifies the Klan. It is a bad move ment, and maybe we can make a case out of this barn burning that will stop it, locally at least. Could you Identify any of those who came to the farm here?" Grandfather then told about grabbing the hood off Norbergs head. The Judge Jumped from his seat. "Now we have it," he exclaimed. "Now we have a case. You can file a charge against Norberg. Was he the one who set fire to the barn?" "I don't know," my grandfather replied. "I really don t think so. Naturally I couldn't see everything that was going on. They were running run-ning around the yard like Indians." "It makes no difference," de clared the Judge.

How manv government war plants the Army and Navy will want to keep in a "stand-by" condition, con-dition, ready for any possible emergency resumption of hostilities, hostili-ties, is an unknown factor. One thing that is counted on is the desire of Army and Navy to retool re-tool all their Navy yards and arsenals, replacing older machin ery with newer and more efficient models which they already own. Estimates of the number of new tools that will go "in grease" for stand-by plants and to retool government gov-ernment shops range from 70,000 to 150,000 units. Post-war domestic demand Is another indeterminate market, but it is pointed out that many old machine tools have been worked during the war far beyond normal life. Also, these tools have been worked on a two- or three-shift basis. Getting all American industry indus-try back to a one-shift basis and replacing obsolete tools might dispose dis-pose of 100,000. A minor market to be developed is retooling of the 125,000 machine shops in technical tech-nical and vocational schools, which might take 8000 to 10,000 of the newer model, simpler machine tools. Export, the Unknown Quantity There remains the export market mar-ket as the greatest impenderable of all. Soviet Russia has shown a great liking for American machinery ma-chinery and has her entire western west-ern industrial plant to rebuild. How many machines it will take to retool bombed factories in Germany, Ger-many, France and Italy is anybody's any-body's guess. How much of an industrial in-dustrial nation China, Australia, India or any of the Latin American Amer-ican republics wjlj become Is pure speculation. For all these markets, the TJ. S. will of course be competing with Great Britain. But from the above point of view the machine tool glut does not look hopeless, and it further outlines an opportunity oppor-tunity for the post-war employment employ-ment of many go-getting American Amer-ican gumshoe salesmen, to whom there is no superior.
