Mr. Hermann is reported as observing that for a number ot years the 1LPA. composed oi publications atliliated with- th“ , Amcr.can Kedei'ation ot Labo,. has carried on a relentless cam- j paign against certain pubiications assunring to speak lor or-; pai.i/cfl labor. Further in his observations it is asser ed that considerable • damage” has been don? to the i prestige of organized labor by j i h e s c fraudiih’nt publications. Among the various publications) si\led “racket labor papers” in , Mr. • Ilernnjnn’s observations are one or more New Yoik publications of “pecular renown” and; he Labo; Llgesi” oi Indianapolis, Ir.d. We quote from Mr. Herrmann’s report, on one of the publications "racket labor papers.” as follows: has been one of the worst offenders of journalistic ethics to be found in the country. Its editor - - - - went so *?r as to use the insignia of the Inlernatlon^I I.abor Press on its masthead, until authorities clamped unvvn on him and j II.PA threatened criminal prosecution. ...” The official of the ILPA which ( is affiliated with the American 1 Federation of Labor stresses tha these ’ racket labor papers” as-j sume to speak for organized la- | bor. but actually have absolutely j no standing with the unions j <AFL> and will continue to face | u bat r le on fraudulent ac'ivitie= It appears iliai all persons directly or indirectly interested in, nr affiliated in publications associated with organized labor must really know their publications and the publishers. mVIC.HT PALMER.

Adlai Mevenson of Illinois. Democratic nominee for President. Gov. Sievenson s action in nominating Mr. Palmer for the post is regarded in some circles as hearing certain significance. Mr Palmer, ore of the nation's or world's most resourceful industrialists is still an exponent of Ihe FFPC. Tite hirng policy of General Cable Corporation is styled widely as a model for fair en nloyment. Again Mr. Palmer is chairman of President Truman’s ComniiMee on Contract Compliance, which has the responsibility <-f promoting or securing compliance with the provisions in federal government contracts prohibit'ng discrimination against workers because of race, creed or national origin. Mr. Palmer was recenlTy cited bv an internationally known Negro new* paper and has been active in affi'irs of the National Urban League. Otherwise he is h ; !rh*y regarded bv top perscnalities of the Negro newspaper field, civic, veli?ious and fraternal organiza-

tions.

serious look at the stale of the church and according lo widely circulated press reports, he has concluded that in general churches have become money-raisinsr organizations, straying far-afieid from their original aim of winning souls for Christ. In a recent comrrftinicaLon with the press Mr. Johnson charges that some churches are overorganized. with clubs and missionary circles, all for the purpose of raising money alone. ! Mr. Johnson further charges that many ministers have set themselves up as kings and that the people have ! turned fro:.; serving God to serving these “self-set-up kings.” He laments that preachers are no longer respected as they once were. "Sinners have found the preacher’s weakness which is the dollar.” Again he asserts new kingdoms : have been set up in our great cities; kings in churches, kings j in police forces, kings in wards and city councils, etc. each ruling with an iron hand He challenges the ministers to awaken to their responsibilities and to return to God.

DR. ANDREW IVY, vice president of the University of Illinois, ^peaking recently before the National Committee for the Prevention of Alcoholism ac Loma Linda. Calif., asserted ihat the United States in producing 200.000 new problems of drinkers a year and alcohol accounts for 200.000 killed and 800.000 injured on highways and 5.000.000 arrests. He pointed out that the liquor problem is not restricted ‘.o race, creed or national origin in accounting for S600,000.000 lost in annual wages, as he styled the use of alcohol one of the “greatest menaces to healthful living in America today.” The scientists, sociologists., civic and religious leaders atLmdin? the meeting stressed directly or indirectly the call for temperance, or again the preventive side in opposition to alcoholism. No reports are enfrent on proposals of “prohibitive legis- 5 lation,” nor educational programs alt?ng the “preventive side” at the meeting. However, many persons attending the meeting must remember the “noble experiment” of prohibition and thereafter might reckon with an educational program along the “preventive side” as the next “noble experiment.”
