The Republican admirers of the TaftHartley Act claim to be for less government intervention in labor-management relations. But the annual report of National Labor Relations Board shows how the Taft-Hart-ley Act has brought a tremendous increase in government intervention in labor-man-agement differences. Fiscal year 1949 was the first year under the Taft-Hartley Act. NLRB handled 32,796 cases during that year as compared with only 14,456 in 1947, the last full year under the Wagner Act. Another interesting figure: 32 injunctions \vere issued last year, ALL of them AGAINST labor unions, the result of a law designed to work AGAINST UNIONS AND FOR ANTI-UNION EMPLOYERS. The House has passed a Republican FEPC bill. The bill provides that no persons shall be denied employment for reason of race, creed, color or political affiliation. But the bill provides no means of enforcing this provision. A five-man Fair Employment Practices Commission is to be created to secure compliance through conferences, conciliation and persuasion. The bill was passed instead of the Administration’s measure, which had enforcement provisions, because a majority of the Republicans in the House joined with Southern Democrats to vote gaainst the Administration. The Southern Democrats had come to Congress pledged to fight federal civil rights legislation. The Northern Republicans who voted for the no-enforcement substitute bill were elected on the Republian platform which promisd to support civil rights. On the final vote; 124 Republicans voted for the watered-down bill, while only 42 Republicans voted against it. 134 Demo'crats voted against the toothless bill while only 116 supported this measure. (Congressional Quarterly tabulation.) This is the second betrayal of civil rights legislation by Republicans in the House in this session. The other one came when House Republicans voted to restore to the Rules Committee the right to bottle up bills. Civil rights legislation would not have been reported out for a vote if this move had not been defeated. The weak FEPC bill goes now to the Senate, where last session Republicans joined with Southern Democrats to make it more difficult than ever to prevent anticivil rights Senators from filibustering the FEPC bill to death in that chamber. Thus the Republicans are running up a record of consistency in their opposition to
workable civil rights legislation. Once again Republicans are seeking to change the tax laws in such a way as to virtually drive many farmer co-operatives out of business. At recent hearings before the House Ways and Means Committee, Congressman Noah M. Mason (R., 111.) Reflected the Republican opposition to farmer co-ops while Congressman Wright Patman (D., Texas), longtime friend of farmer co-ops and of small business, reflected the Democratic Party’s support of farmer co-ops.. It was brought out that much of the lobbying campaign against farmer co-ops, carried on in the same name of small business, actually was supported by large contributions from big business concerns. Mason threw his support to this group. About 85 per cent of the eligible voters cast their ballots in the general election in Great Britain. But in our last Presidential election only 52 per cent of those eligible went to the polls. Let’s have our democracy rest on as broad a base as it does in Great Britain. Let’s do it in 1950! REGISTER! VOTE! Recently many newspapers gave quite a bit of space to a speech in which Congressman Clarence Brown (R., Ohio) complained that the world had come to a bad state when 5,300 Democrats could attend a Washington Jefferson-Jackson dressed as well as Republicans and eat good steaks. The Congressman was also unhappy because the guests of the Democratic Party at that dinner had made campaign contributions to the Democratic National Committee. He further disclosed the startling fact that the President did not walk to the dinner but rode there in an automobile. Congressman Brown thought that all this proved that the Democratic Party had gone high-hat and apparently a lot of Republican papers agreed, because they printed these revelations and completely ignored a reply given on the floor the same day by Congressman George H. Christopher (D., Mo.). I am passing on the highlights of Congressman Christopher’s remarks because I think the solid accomplishments he listed mean more to the American voters than Republican wisecracks over the dangerous news that the Democratic Party is not broke and barefoot. Here are the things which Congressman Christopher told the Republicans we were celebrating at our Jefferson-Jackson dinner: ‘‘The Southern boys were celebrating the fact that they were not taking 6 cents a pound for their cotton . . . . . . “we were celebrating the fact that the boys out in Iowa were not having to sell their corn for 12 cents a bushel. All of us fellows in the central region were celebrating the fact that we were not taking 3 cents a pound for our hogs, and 6 cents a dozen for our eggs, and 35 cents a bushel for our wheat . . . “. . . we were celebrating the saving of farms and homes. We were celebrating the fact that during the past 12 years 9,976 banks had not failed in the United States without any deposit insurance. “We were celebrating the fact that we did not have 12,000,000 unemployed in the United States today but that we did have over 55,000,000 people at work at the best wages they have ever been paid in the history of these United States . . . “We must remember that we have not got a soup kitchen or breadline in the United States—not one. The old folks in the United States who have spent almost a lifetime in the fields, feed lot, office, factory, or kitchen do not have to go to the poorhouse now to spend their declining days. We have old-age assistance and social security . . . “We were celebrating the fact that we have REA in this country that has taken electricity to the farms and let the farm
NEW YORK — — If it takes your wife (or your husband) twice as long as you think it should to get the dishes done, maybe you’d better check up on the age of your house. Very likely you belong to one of 23,000,000 American families living in homes more than 30 years old, or even worse, one of 8,600,000 living in homes built before 1900. In that case, the slow dishwashing probably is the result of a house “disease” the architects call obsolescence. Homeplanning specialists go further and call it a kind of creeping paralysis of inefficiency. Reluctant running water grumbling plumbing equipment, clanking and inefficient heating apparatus and badly arranged
If Doing Dishes Takes Too Long, Maybe It’s Age Of Your House
kitchens are some of the symptoms. A national survey just completed by a Minneapolis regulator company (Minneapolis-Honey-well) reports more than half of America’s 42,000,000 homes are exposed to the ailment, which takes a toll of weeks of unnecessary labor from the homemaker. * * * Home owners looking for a cure should begin, the survey suggests, by making a detailed analysis of what’s wrong with the ailing house. That slow-motion dish-washing or a tedious wait to fill the tub for a bath may mean the pipes are full of accumulated lime. Very often the water pipes in na house 25 years or more old have inner diameters scarcely larger than a lead pencil.
Modern plumbing methods make the solution to this one relatively simple. Flexible sopper tubingn, instead of rigid piping, obviates the need of ripping out plaster to replace the plumbinng. It there’s excessive dust and dirt seeping through the floor, the heating plant may well be the culprit. Streaks of smoke on the walls near radiators or warm air grills may be traced to the same handy man-about-the-house—can A good general utility man—or a patch these holes quickly at small expense. If the heating system seems beyond redemption, a new oil burner can be installed for as little as $400. Or the basement ceiling can be covered with wallboard or other composition material to prevent dirt from filtering through.
women throw away her coal oil lamp, and have electric light and refrigeration . . . “We were celebrating the 75-cent minimum wage . . . That ended sweatshops. “We were celebrating the fact that we have a soil conservation program in the United States, that is helping save the top soil of this land. “What Republican administration since Abe Lincoln has helped an old farmer buy a truckload of lime to spread on his hardpan points so he would get a little more fertility into his soil? What Republican administration ever helped a farmer terrace a field? “We were celebrating the fact that we have price supports in the United States that do not allow agricultural products to sink to the prices that we have just named. “Another thing we were celebrating is the fact that our national income is $250,000,000 instead of the $40,000,000,000 to which it had sunk when the Republican Party had us for 12 long, weary, bitter inactive years. That is another thing we were celebrating. “We were also celebrating the fact that ex-GI’s had never come to Washington, D. C., hungry, cold, jobless, and in rags and been chased out of the Capital of the Nation ... by the orders of a Democratic Administration. “We were also celebrating the fact that GFs were no longer standing on street corners all over the United States selling apples and pencils in a vain endeavor to keep body and soul together. “The last fact that we were celebrating was the fact that every New Deal measure that has been passed in the United States since Franklin Delano Roosevelt was elected President is in force, and there is not a Republican in this House who would introduce a bill to repeal one of them ...”
A Necessary Bill
A bill before Congress which we think is a highly necessary one — but which has no chance of passage—was recently introduced by Senator Wayne Morse (Rep. Oreg.). The Morse bill would require members of Congress to disclose all of their income outside of their Government salaries. This may seem like a simple requirement, but most members would attempt to move heaven and earth before seeing it passed. The effect of the bill, if it became a lay, would be for the public to know not only how much their members are making, but from what sources the income is derived. The outside income of members has often been called the “pocketbook lobby.” And this pocketbook lobby often determines whether a member is voting for the people or for the interests that afford some extra-curricular income. Members who have nothing to fear should
not oppose the bill. It is only those who have interests which run counter to the people’s interests who would be expected to fight the measure. Unfortunately, we fear that many of the good members will oppose it and thereby defeat passage. It is time the people knew not only how their representatives voted but why—and one of the best ways of telling is to know of the source of income or other favors which may be turning up in behalf of the members. It is high time the “pocketbook lobby” is exposed.—Daniel J. Tobin. Will Henry Wallace Win Back Public Respect? Nobody really interested in the farm movement can ignore Henry Wallace, whether he likes him or not, according to the “Farmer’s Washington” column in the March issue of Successful Farming Magazine. The column says Wallace is going to devote a great deal of time to setting his war record straight. He is determined that the public will know he had nothing to do with shipments of uranium to Russia and that his war record be understood as a loyal, faithful discharge of his duty to his country. Wallace is breaking away from the Communists and neo-Communists in the Progressive party, the magazine says, because he has discovered suddenly that they are more interested in Russian than American politics. Meanwhile, Wallace is conducting experiments on hybrid chickens, which he expects to finish in four or five years. He also is dabbling with hydroponics, trying to find out if there really is anything to a theory that some of the by-products of atomic fission will help plant growth. The column draws a parallel between Wallace and former President Hoover, who was “smeared and reviled” over this country for a long time. Today, the President’s economic advisers admit that Hoover’s view of what would ultimately happen in this country was right. And now they support the old Hoover view that the future of America lies in high production of American farms and industry, not in big handouts from the federal government, the magazine says. The column points out that a great deal of water has gone over the dam since Wallace first advocated a conciliatory view toward Russia, and that the voting public is fickle. It says that Idaho Republicans lament that they can’t get people to come to their political meetings while meetings of Senator Glen Taylor, Wallace’s running mate on the Progressive ticket, are packed with peoplDon’t count too much on Wallace’s remaining a back number, the column concludes.
NEW YORK—Billy Rock, one of the world’s oldest advance agents of Spring, is beginning to show his benign and bewhiskered features on thousands of outdoor .signs in various parts of the United States, keeping an annual date that goes back many centuries for its origin. Bock was not always known by that name, but, in general character and popularity, this Spring favorite has changed very little in some thousands of years. Bock or its seasonal counterpart has probably the noblest ancestry of any beverage. Its ancestry was in the making centuries before the Pharoahs of Egypt dawdled over their plans for building the pyramids at Gaza. Nearly every ancient civilization claims to be the birthplace of beer, and Egypt’s candidate as first brewer is Osiris, who was deified because of his many beneficent contributions, including the mythical discovery of brewing. Osiris, in his travels, later passed on his knowledge of cultivation of barley and its fermentation to other peoples, according to mythology. Some of that brewing lore must have been absorbed by inhabitants of northern Europe, for when missionaries penetrated that region more than 1,500 years ago they found the people there enjoying a brew of rare delight. The brew also had ritual significance, being used to sprinkle the fields in the Spring as an offering to Freya, the goddess of fertility. The connection with Spring is plausible. Under ancient ore wing methods and conditions. Winter was the only season when beer could be fully matured in storage. The brew, made of the finest ingredients available after harvest, was placed in cool cellars or caves, not to be broached until Spring. At Winter's end, the brew thus served a multiple purpose of propitiating the gods, toasting the tetnm of Spring and delighting
the palate. The Bock designation goes back probably 700 years. Several explanations have been advanced for this appelation, but the one that has general acceptance is that the name honors the town of Einbeck, about 40 miles from Hamburg, Germany. Early in the Thirteenth Century, Einbeck began to gain a reputation for its •ftne beer. Somehow, people began to refer to the town as Ein Bock, meaning “one goat”. A picture being worth a thousand words even then, a goat’s head became a natural symbol for quality beer. Einbeck was almost totally destroyed by fire about 1450, and the Thirty Years’ War did the rest in putting an end to the once flourishing brewing industry. But the spirit of the goat’s head continued to march on. Today Bock Beer merely is a carryover of an old tradition, with no other significance. Until the advent of mechanical refrigeration, Bock Beet actually was the premier beer of the year, echoing the quality of Einbeck’s best, because the cold months enabled brewers to bring the brew to fall maturity. Today brewers, with their thoroughly modem equipment, can gather in the best of the brewing grain crop and keep it stored for use when needed regardless of month or season. Uniform temperatures in the brewing plant have nullified the advantages formerly offered by the calendar. Brewers could produce a Bock Beer the year ’round, but it is doubtful that the public would want it for longer than the present season. Heavier, hopper, dark-hued and longer-aged, the brew has its most popular acceptance for just several weeks at the end of Winter. At other times, Americans prefer a lighter brew, crystal clear, so the obliging brewmasters pattern their formulas to conform to poptdar taste.

HOLLYWOOD — Richard Todd, British actor, says he’s a nine-o’-clock man in a twelve-o’-clock town. “With a little practice I may be able to learn to stay awake until midnight,” Todd said. “But first I’ll have to learn to stay in bed in the morning.” Todd, a new celebrity around town, goes to parties in hi$ honor and finds himself nodding in the corner at 9 p. m. sharp! “Other people are just finishing dinner and ready to go somewhere,” h e said, “when I’m ready to go to bed. I can’t even keep track of the conversation.” Life in England being what it is, this is the first time in 10 years that Todd’s had a chance to stay up late. During the war years he kept a strict taps and stricter reveille. After th e war, like other Britishers, he adapted himself to the early closing of all public places for power conservation. It’s Different Now While Todd was working for Alfred Hitchcock in ‘Stage Fright’

in England, Hitchcock subscribed to England’s early-to-bed routines and got his actors up early and hom e early. “If I stayed up until 10 o’clock,” he said, “it was a very special occasion. Things are different now. “At least, they’re different on the late end of the clock because all my new Hollywood friends like to stay up late and get up late. But I find myself awake by five or at the latest six o’clock in the morning. That’s why I sag by nin e o’clock at night.” Todd doesn’t watn to adjust his “chemistry” to these Hollywood hours before he finishes his next picture, however. King Vidor, director of “Lightning Strikes Twice,” is another early-to-rise man. “I am expecting a lot of 7 a. m. calls,” Todd said happily, “so I’ll have a very good excuse for falling asleep at 9 p. m. HOLLYWOOD -A rose by any other name may smell as sweet, but who could ever make a movie hero out of Worster Van Eps? Worster changer his name to Willard Parker, and under that name he was able to star in several movies, including the latest at Columbia, “David Harding, Counterspy.” “An actor has to have a glamorous sounding nam e if he wants to be successful,” Parker, or Van Eps, said. “Some people believe you have to pick ’em by numerology. “Well, I don’t know.

CHRISTIAN SCIENCE/! SERVICES f i “Matter” is the subject of the Lesson-Sermon in all Churches of Christ, Scientist, on Sunday, March, The Golden Text is: “The grass withereth, the flower fadeth: but the word of our God shall stand for ever” (Isaiah 40:8). Among the citations which comprise the Lesson-Sermon is the following from the Bible: “God is our refuge and strength, a very present help irt trouble. Therefore will not we fear, though the earth be removed, and though the mountains be carried into the midst of the sea; The Lord of hosts is with us; the God of Jacob is our refuge” (Psalms 46:1, 2, 7). The Lesson-Sermon also includes the following passage from the Christian Science textbook, “Science and Health with Key to the Scriptures” by Mary Baker Eddy: “In the universe of Truth, matter is unknown. No supposition of error enters there. Divine Science, the Word of God, saith to the darkness upon the face of error, ‘God is All-in-all’, and the light of ever-present Love illumines the universe.... God, Spirit, dwelling in infinite light and harmony from which emanates the true idea, is never reflected by aught but the good” (p. 503).
