The Chrysler strike was a part of a great human crusade to build a better tomorrow and a better world" But labor observers said the strike was too long and too costlv for anyone to benefit About 89 000 Chrysler workers in 25 plants and 50 000 in supplier plants had been Glamorous Frock Serves On Dressy Occasions idle Also on the labor front, John L Lewis announced that the UMW wel fare fund would resume payment of one-tim- as one small protest, mavbe the powers that be wont think they have the whole country in the bag Maybe some of those big shots will take a look at this little segment of Texas and take warning LABOR: George Smathers, 36, casts his vote in his race against Senator Claude Pepper for the U.S. senate.

SPY HUNT: Files Available LAW: T-- H Oath Non-Re- d The Communist spy hunt, called by many a witch hunt and a mud slinging campaign against administration big shots, took a new turn when President Truman agreed to the complete give investigators state department loyalty files on the 81 cases cited by Senator McCarthy. Although Truman's approval did not cover FBI files, a great amount of F B I material is included in the reports. It now comes to light that the 81 persons named by McCarthy have been Investigated by four other committees. Senator Tydings, chairman of the subcommittee which has been lookallegations, ing into McCarthys No adverse report concernsaid ing these employees came to the floor of the house or the floor of the senate and none was sent to the state department after the other investigations. Some sources are saying public opinion is beginning to blow the lid off the scandals of the Truman adBut others believe ministration. too much time and money are being wasted in an effort to create Communist hysteria for political reasons. The public, meanwhile, was becoming a little bored and skeptical of explanations from either side. Some logical explanation of what has been going on had better be made and soon, the voter was saying. TRUMAN: On benefits next month Benefits were suspended for almost a year during the UMWs drawn out strikes and restricted work weeks Another important move in the labor world was the announcement of William Green of the AFL that his union is willing to meet with the CIO to form a united organization "of all forces and groupings of organized labor In a letter to Philip Murray, Green proposed 1. To work on econom ic, legislative and political prob lems 2. To achieve organic untiy. Tour President Truman began his western tour with four speeches on behalf of the Brannan agricultural program, but took time also to preach the gospel against Isolationism And it was a new Truman, using gentle ridicule against his political enemies instead of the sledgehammer blows he used on a similar trip two years ago. That in itself was enough to make many a politician raise his eyebrows. The President shoved his needle of ridicule deep when he touched on isolationism. He said: Now isolationism would be a cheap policy to follow It would be easy and cheap to stop spending money on our army and navy and air force and to stop sending sup plies to other countries who sur vived the great war. We can stop these things today Isolationism would be mighty cheap for today end tomorrow and maybe next week You ren ember how cheap isolationism was in tre 1920s Taxes were cut, at least for the big fellows, but look at the ter rible price we have paid for iso lationism in the second world war Today exactly the same issue faces us There are still some men who keep telling you that we can economize by following an isolationist policy Thee men can't see beyond the end of their noses They don t see that isolationism would let the rest of the world be swallowed up by communism That would certainly bring on a new We world war just as it did in reneged in 1921. just as Russia today is doing with the help of our own isolationists Beauty Elizabeth Taylor, generally known as one of the most beautiful women in the movie world, was married in what has been publicized as the movie capital s wedding of the year The groom is Conrad (Nick) Hilton. scion of the hotel family. Seven hundred guests were invited to the wedding and about 200 to a reception at the Bel Air country club Labor unions, bitter enemies of the Taft Hartley act since the day it was enacted, found themselves confronted again with one of the most disliked provisions of the law The U S. supreme court upheld the provision that requires union officials to file oaths if their unions are to use machinery of the national labor relations board. Both national and local officers of most unions have filed such affidavits, although a few holdouts remain. Chief Justice Vinson said In his 31 page Those who, so opinion, Congress has found, would subvert the public interest cannot escape all regulations because, at the same time, they carry on legitimate political activities. To encourage unions to displace them from positions of great power over the national economy while at the same time leaving free the outlets by which they may pursue legitimate political activities of persuasion and advocacy, does not seem to us to contravene the purposes of the first amendment.
