Show EMERY COUNTY PROGRESS, CASTLE DALE, UTAH Aristocrats of Stock World To Be Shown at International Labors Interests Fused With Average Citizens Famed Exhibition To Draw Entries From All States By BAUKHAGE New Analy.it and Commentator. WNU Service, 1616 Eye Street, N.W., Washington, D. C. There never WASHINGTON. will be a Labor party in the U. S. In the aftermath of the election, I couldn't help cogitating these words, spoken to me helped write several years ago by an official who some of the most important New Deal labor legislation a decade ago. The reasons given were that workers In America were individ- uals first and members of labor unions afterward they were primarily citizens with group interests common to other citizens. as They didnt look at themselves a political unit In analyzing the new congress, some people have made the mistake of pointing to the defeat of candidates conspicuously endorsed by the CIO-PAand the victory of those marked for purge. Then, because the PAC is an institution which has behind it one of the two big international union organizations, these people imply that because of the defeat of the PAC, labor itself was defeated. As a matter of fact, labor was not beaten by any opposing group. It was not a question of labor, politically organized, meeting organized political opposition. It was a case of a lot of men who happen to belong to unions plus a lot of others who dont going to the polls and utterly disregarding the wishes of a group which had tried to attach itself to the labor union and thus proving (as my friend said) that American labor is an American citizen first and a lot of other things next and when he sits in his union meeting he is a member of that local and not a member oi a political party. I havent the slightest doubt that many an American citizen, who otherwise might not have voted, did so because of the energetic efforts of persons inbooklets spired by the CIO-FAand contacts, the chief aim of which was to get voters to the polls. I am equally certain that of these voters who exercised their franchise chiefly because of CIO-PA- C nudging, many Voted quite the opposite to what wished. the CIO-PAC C C COP Win Stems From Many Causes But this election was something more than a revolt against the frank effort of CIO to reward those who had espoused specific measures or to punish those who didnt When Guffy, Mead and Murdock were mowed down in the senate, men who certainly spoke the speech as labor considered it should be spoken, when 20 congressmen, marked for the purge at the PAC meeting in Atlantic City last spring, were all reelected with one exception (and that was Representative Slaughter, beaten by the Presidents own special efforts in the primaries); when things like that happen, you know that plenty of perfectly good union members in perfectly good standing were voting against the preachments of the PAC. Perhaps if it had not been for two other circumstances PACs views might not have been so vehemently opposed up and down the line. Both have to do with good old American customs which spring from frontier days when emergency situations had to be met with emergency measures for the sake of simple One of those customs which has precedent implied all through the constitution is that too much power isnt good for anybody, and in a republic you dont elect people for life, or put one party in power in definitely. That is one thing that accounted for most of the votes against the ins" regardless of the candidates Another factor which persuasions. added to the landslide quality of the vote is the old law of action and reaction. Americans have a habit of going to extremes. They have certain tastes inherited from pioneers that make them like their music loud, their horses fast, their stakes high, their goals worth winning. They are not as fast to start either a fight or a frolic as some nations, but when they do get het up oh, BARBS Whats happened to the man who used to brag about never having gone to college but having three college men working for him?

It was this characteristic, 1 feel sure, which caused Americans of all sorts to swing much farther toward the conservative Bide than they normally would have done. Their patience had been exhausted by the efforts of a screaming minority to Implant Communism on our soil and thus attempt to bring to this country the very thing from which America was supposed to be the escape, tyranny of the minority. Of late it has become the style to sneer at the majority. The "vulgar herd and the mob" were the contemptuous epithets of kings. The modern majority-scorne- r is more careful of his language. He phrases it so that it will appeal to the peasant and worker or to the readers of persuasive and expensive page advertisements in metropolitan papers. The language differs when it comes from the extreme right and the extreme left, but its purpose is the same: minority rule. Totalitarianism as produced by a Hitler or a Stalin is not too different from that more subtly suggested by the powerful pressure group in a capitalistic country. The 80th congress has a tougher job than the 79th. We hope it will be able to handle it. It was not elected to smash labor. It was elected to carry out a mandate (among others) to help keep labor from smashing itself.

To Forgive Fritz Twas the day after Christmas in Frankfurt, Germany, 1945, when all through the ether there was static c enough to make a broadcast impossible. I had an exclusive story, so I sent it as a dispatch to David Wills, my substitute, who was sitting at the microphone in Washington to cope with such contingencies. The story (I said in my dispatch) would probably be denied, and I admitted it seemed incredible, for it revealed a plan of the French government to help France by admitting German war prisoners to citizenship. It seemed impossible, that, with the ancient Franco-Germa- n hatred so recently fanned to new fury. Marianne would take her "traditional enemy to her bosom. The story was broadcast and that was the end, until, some 10 months later, it was confirmed in a matter-of-fastatement of the French minister of population, then touring America. A copy of the original dispatch which I exhumed from the files reflects my feeling in its incredibility as I stood admidst the ruins of a German city with the memories of a France clear in my mind. The idea now apparently is accepted without comment. How well the plan will succeed, I do not know. But to me it is a comforting thought that it has been proposed because it shows so clearly how war hates are artificial things, and bear no part in the relationships between individuals. ct twice-devastat- PRICES . . .

Turkey eaters, honing their appetites this holiday season, will not want for tangy cranberry sauce, for another bumper crop of the tart berry that adds tradition as well as zest to holiday feasts has been harvested in the Cape Cod district True to form, the Cape Cod sector again will supply about of the nations cranberry supply. Occasionally, as in 1944, the Cape Cod crop falls short of expectations and the berry is scarce in the nations grocery stores. Thousands of harvesters, working with slotted scoops and nimble fingers through the fall months, have combed the nation's bogs to gather more than 800,000 barrels. The crop is second only to the 1937 output of In 1942 as well as 877,300 barrels. in 1937, Massachusetts marshes produced a few thousand barrels more than their estimated total of 550,000 barrels for the present crop. More than $50,000,000 is Invested in the scientific business of growing and processing cranberries. The industry puts to use about 50 square miles of land that previously lay waste, unsuited to any other type of agriculture. The new crop, worth about $9,000,000, will reach stores in the form of sauce, juice and dehydrated fruit, as well as in raw fruit J form.
