UNISTS ADVISE THE UNIONS DITION of The Times we publish a paid advertisement of the Communist party of Indianapolis opposing labor legislation now pending in Congress. There aren’t very many Communists in Indianapolis, nor in Indiana. In the state election last fall 1,327,158 Indiana citizens voted for other party candidates, and 1029 voted for Communist party candidates. Nevertheless, in line with long-established Times policy and with American principles of freedom of expression which we support—and which the Communists oppose—we feel that even a group as small as this one and as wrong as this one, should be ; allowed to state its political views on exactly the same

4 basis as any other group.

. » » £ WOULD be most unfair to every union member in Indi- ; ana, however, to let these Communists imply that they speak for, or in any way represent, organized labor in Indiana. They do not. Thg American Federation of Labor unions in Indianapolis never have had anything to do with Communists or Communism. The C. I. O. unions of Indianapolis have officially and publicly repudiated and disowned all Communists, both as a party and as individuals. Indiana unions do not want their help and will not accept their leadership. So when a handful of Indianapolis Communists pretends to assume such leadership it is strictly pretense, and nothing more. They are only doing their little best to carry out the direct and specific order of Mr. Stalin “to subordinate the unions to the leadership of the party as the advance guard of the workers revolution.” And if the union members and the farmers and the small business men of Indianapolis fail to heed the comrades’ call to arms, why it must be because it is pretty well known, around here, what has always happened and will always happen, to labor unions and farmers and small business men under the Communist dictatorship to which these party members are

pledged.

» s » AS FOR THE two labor bills in Congress which the advertisement so shriliy conuemns, we ie going to have to look again. Peaceful labor relations, high wages, prosperi ous workers, free labor unions, and all elements of Ameri- % can democracy are exactly what the Communist party seeks to root out of our national life and destroy. If the Communist party really is opposed to these two bills they must be better for labor, for industry and for the public than we'd believed possible.

DEAN SEMBOWER 2 ISSING from campus walks at Indiana university is a gentle philosopher. Charles J. Sembower, emeritus dean of men and English professor, died Saturday. He was 76. His service to the university spafined more than 40 years and. until his health failed after his retirement in 1941 he helped guide thousands of students in their formative years. He became ore of I. Us most famous and popular professors and students thronged to his classes, as much to hear his philosophy of life as to learn English, his chosen subject. Many men remembered “Semie’s” twinkling eyes and quiet chuckle long after they left school. When they became famous, they returned to the campus and never failed to seek him out.

ELECTION INDICTMENTS WE AVE long fought against election frauds, and all other forms of official corruption, and we believe just ' as firmly as we ever did that those guilty of such“fraud should be ruthlessly punished. : But there is an aroma of alley politics about the indictments of vote fraud returned last Saturday that makes us wonder. Is this a sincere effort to clean up official corruption? Or is it just an effort to get a certain candidate nominated for mayor? If these people are guilty they were just as guilty last January—and they will be just as guilty next week. Yet there is official admission that special pressure was put on to get these indictments through the grand jury right now —a week before the city primary. The timing, if nothing else, is suspicious. : Mr. Stark has been prosecuting attorney of this county for four months. During that time he has got his office organized, launched an investigation of police corruption and let it fizsle out, failed to act in the wide-open $9,000-000-a-year lottery racket, refused to push charges against policemen already found guilty by a police board of accepting bribes. He has pleaded, in defense of that record, that there hasn't been time, and that is, to some degree at least,

WASHINGTON, April 28—Indiana undoubtedly has the grand dame of Democratic politics. At 85, Mrs. Samuel H. Ralston attended the “thought clinic” at Democratic national committee headquarters here last week and never missed a session, whether serious or social. For 15 years now she has been Democratic national committeewoman from the state. And no woman at

the meetings is more widely known. Being the widow

acquaintance with Democratic politics goes back past the half century mark.

SHE LIKES GAEL SULLIVAN, the new national director who dreamed up the “thought clinic” idea. She thinks the Democratic party should continue to be “progressive” and that will be the way to attract young people and women voters to it. When Rep. Ray Madden, the only functioning Democrat from Indiana in congress, told how he was cheered by O. I. O. unionists for writing a eoritical minority report against the Hartley labor bill in the house, Mrs. Ralston's eyes sparkled. She said she was sorry that Majority Leader Halleck (R. Ind.) wasn’t at that labor meeting. For he is the ringmaster who cracked the whip to put the “tough” labor bill through the house by a 3-to-1

majority. .

“Labor always should vote Democratic,” Mrs. Ralston declared. National Committeeman Frank M. McHale was unable to attend the meeting. But State Chairman

NEW YORK, April 28.—There’s no way to duck the issue. Us fellows are just getting prettier all the time. Give us a few more years and we will have achieved nature's general rule for normaley— the man, gorgeous, the woman, drab. Reason we haven't hit our full perfection to date is we've been purposely regarded by a lot of jealous, worried dolls. Vitamins and outdoor exercise have already built us into magnificent physical sculptures. Oreat big wide shoulders and stuff—a heap easier on the eye than those old girls with their asymmetrical bumps and bulges. There's the raw material, already for the fine feathers.

Can Compete With the Girls

THE MERCHANTS are doing the rest. The cosmetics people took the initiative. We now have fancy perfumery for men and even little boys. . There is a kind of pancake makeup which masks the beard, and gives the untidy male an apperance of baby smoothness at 5 p. m. During a recent convention of beauty operators, it was suggested that the male be subjected to the permanent wave, to enhance his manly allure. The chamber-pot haircut is gone from this land; milord today has his coiffeur carefully feathered on the neck. His sideburns are longer than Valentino's, and there's sufficient crop of curls on his crock to warrant an upswept arrgngement. If he is pale, we turn a sunlamp op him. If he’s bald, my friend Alfred Barris will build him a wig, guaranteed to hold fast under the tender ruffling of the loving fingers. Mr. Adler makes him taller with elevator shoes, and a reasonably sincere taller can camouflage a stoop, a pot belly, or skeleton thinness with a pair of clever scissors. , We have decked him out for sports in the colors of the spectrum. But until recently we had lacked the one final stroke to make a beauty out of the man ~fixing him up to where he can compete with. the

The Japs have been licked to a fraszle. And they know it. They can hardly be expected, therefore, to rise at daybreak, work on short rations all day and make further sacrifices which, for all they know, will be confiscated for reparations. Their future should be fixed. Internal dissension has been brought on and surely will continue to mount as a result of the national chaos in which overwhelming defeat left the papulation.
