In Italy, the pugnacity of the railroad fellows, rising sometimes to a flat refusal to move trains unless army officers who were aboard got off, was a Communist trick which, more than any other affront, prepared the people for Mussolini. Although such sabotage is old practice it is unheard of by many millions of American citizens, including practically all of those who joined up for the war and the whole batch of those who are now 25 years old or less. It includes also, of course, that enormous element of all classifications whose resistance to Information never can be conquered. k THUS AN OLD CONDITION WHICH ALL AMERICANS SHOULD UNDERSTAND IS UNKNOWN TO A LARGE ELEMENT OF THE POPULATION.

In passing it may be said that Padway and his chief client. Dan of the Tobin, the teamsters, who was sent along with him, both were seared to death but were on a spot and had to go. When Tobin found himself back in the United States and not flapping around from cloud to cloud whanging discords out of a pawnshop harp he decided that Roosevelt, by his dirty trick, had made him a hero of the labor movement.

It could be that the attempt to inject a political tinge to atomic energy by refusal to approve nominations of members of the commission for their terms, as set out in the basic law, may have had something to do with the decision not to mention this important subject in the platform. At any rate, this is one of those subjects on which the GOP must go to the people. five-ye- ar Governor Dewey be elected he might have as much trouble with his own party in the house of representatives as the late President Roosevelt ever had with the recalcitrant Democrats. And in this connection it must oe remembered that it was these recalcitrant Democrats who aided Republicans and prevented the legislative program of President Truman In both congresses from going through. For no veto could be overridden without the help of these southern Democrats, and it was a coalition of southern Democrats and Republicans which stymied many an important measure in both the 79th and 80th congresses. Add Useless Expenditures A subcommittee of the interstate commerce committee of the senate, headed by Sen. Homer E. Cape-ha- rt 0 of Indiana, plans to spend at the beginning of the next session of congress in a stud of monopoly trends supposedly in behalf of smaU business. Of course, this will be a useless expenditure. This field has been covered time and again. Under sponsorship of Sen. Joseph O'Mahoney of Wyoming, champion on legislation in congress, more than a million dollars was spent in a three-yea- r investigation in the late thirties. It published 42 special studies on antitrust problems and offered a long list of recommendations. Not one ever has been enacted into law. $50,-00- FIVE HUNDRED new federal being created each day. Five hundred new Jobs means 2,000 votes. Two thousand votes added each day from January 1 to November 1 mean a lot of votes. Those votes added to what he already has might elect a president The amazing thing about it Is that the opposition, whose purpose is also to elect a president, has supplied the money to pay the wages of the 600 new government workers, through which the 2,000 votes a day are produced Figure it out if you can. Jobs I nomination was a denial of any deal or promise to "any living person." He came, he said, to the Republican electorate unfettered and free. It was almost as if the New York governor had anticipated that he would have to make such a denial. Insofar as this reporter is concerned, we can readily believe Mr. Dewey and accept what he said at face value that he is not obligated to former Sen. Joseph R. Grundy of Pennsylvania and that the Dewey "Grundy wing" of the party swung to Dewey merely as a convention accident. Fact is, however, that Gov. James H. Duff of the Keystone state, leader of the liberal branch of Pennsylvania GOP and titular leader of his party, feels he was given a "double-cros- s" and took a licking at the hands of the notorious "Grundy which for years machine" dominated state politics as a f, reactionary, stand-pleader of the old McKinley-Hardin- g era of Republican politics. And the fact that in ousting Car roll Reece of Kentucky as GOP national chairman in favor of a congressman from a district Philadelphia Dewey left himself open to charges of a "deal" does not help the situation insofar as the liberal element of the party is concerned. The new national chairman. Congressman Hugh D. Scott Jr., has a reactionary vote record in congress. He is a member of Philadelphia's Union league and all the right clubs and fraternities including the Philadelphia Cricket club. The prediction is made openly here that Sen. Edward Martin, who withdrew as a favorite son candidate and nominated Dewey, will be in Dewey's cabinet as secretary of national defense if the governor Is elected at the fall election.

These adolations and condemnations slap us in the face each time we pick up a newspaper; we face them on the signboards as we joyride over the highways; they monopolize, even to the exclusion of "commercials," the time on the radio and television.

It seems a high price to pay for "government of the people, by the people, for the people," but the liberties which such government provides are worth all the agony and more.

At the height of his business career, McDonogh was the largest individual land owner in the United Ststes with vast acres of waste and suburban land under his name. His holdings included squares and lots in New Orleans proper, warehouses, stores, residences, land in 18 parishes of Louisiana, and enormous tracts in Florida, Mississippi and Texas. McDonogh's will divided his estate equally between New " Orleans and Baltimore for the establishment of schools for children unable to pay their way. The legacy, however, became the subject of much contention. Litigation and the Civil War caused the amount to diminish. When the Supreme Court finally passed upon the will. New Orleans, as its portion, received most of the extensive properties. The vagueness which surrounds the history of the earliest McDonogh schools was increased by the disappearance of the minutes of the old board which administered the school fund. Francis P. Burns, former city attorney said that the ancient records disappeared in 1927 during rehabilitation and rearrangement of the city halL Burns said it was supposed that $500,000 from the fund was contributed in aid of defense of the city in the war between the states. Available records show evidence that 28 schools in New Orleans and two in Jefferson parish were constructed from the fund. Although all of the schools that remain in existence are now under the control of or operated by the Orleans or Jefferson parish school boards. 19 of them still bear McDonogh's name. No. 1, conMcDonogh structed shortly after the will was probated, is the oldest. McDonogh was born in Baltimore, Dec. 29. 1779, but took up residence here in 1817. He devoted his entire life to the acquisition of wealth for the establishment of philanthropies to be carried out after his death. A bronze statue of John McDonogh stands in Lafayette Square facing city hall here, and every year, on his birthday, the children gather to shower the monument 't Released by WNU Features. NEW ORLEANS. They used to call John McDonogh a "pinch penny" In the 1840s when he commuted to New Orleans in a battered old skiff and then walked miles into town rather than spend a picatransportayune for horse-draw- n tion. But when he died In 1850 the lonesome old bachelor left all of his large fortune in real estate to the cities of New Orleans and Baltimore for the establishment of free public schools. The fund, which has financed between 30 and 36 schools here, has dwindled now, and when one more school has been constructed the money will all be gone.
