NATIONAL REPRESENTATIVES — Alaska Newspapers, 14'1 Fourth Avenue Bidg., Seattle, Wash. BREAKDOWN OF OPA? The House of Representatives' action on the OPA bHl was sourly reminiscent of its treatment of draft extension. In the case of the draft, the House nom- inally continued selective service, yet actually provided for the disintegration of it. In its treatment of the measure to extend the OPA, it has done pretty much the same thing. ' Most of the amendments adopted by the House perhaps are plausible enough in themselves, especially when considered singly. Each was supported by one or more militant groups (which is why they found their way into the bill). But considered in the aggre- gate, we're afraid they have an effect which neither the public nor the bulk of business is likely to welcome Of course, a careful study of the bill as amended would have to be made to determine precisely how much of the original scope and authority of the OPA is left. At first blush, the amendments seem sweeping encugh to jeopardize administration and enforcement of what parts are left of the price control structure Rep. A. J. Sabbath ‘of Illinois, dean of the House, may have overstated the case a bit when he shouted at his colleagues: “You have murdered OPA.” Price Admin- jistrator Paul Porter may have overstated it when he contended the House action was tantamount to repeal of OPA. But certainly if the bill becomes law in its approximate form it will mean the end of OPA as an effective deterrent to spiraling costs. At best, it could only conduct a rear-guard fight against a sudden The Washingfon Merry-Go-Round (Continued from Page One) try started of.its disaster, taking JOHN Perhaps, L. pened in Germany when that coun- ' quick settlement world with her into war. LEWIS’ GREED like a certain German (COPYRIGHT, BELL SYNDICATE, INC, 1946) be generous, onslaught of increased costs, and probably not a very successful one at that. What the House has attempted to do, evidently, is to write a painless OPA bill, and under the circum- stances that is something like applying a loose and comfortable tourniquet to a leg with a ruptured artery. In ylelding to the opposition to food ‘price subsidies, in freeing the meat industry completely of the bother of price control, and in guaranteeing everyone at every rung of the industrial ladder a “reasonable profit” on each and every item handled, the House has taken due care of most of the objections to OEA (a notable exception being rent control), but it has given too little thought to the impact of these actions upen an economic structure already too shaky for comfort. As the experience of World War I taught us, this is the period of greatest inflation danger, and if what is left of the price control scheme is dynamited it is idle to think that there can be any remedy for the conse- quences in subsequent months. What the House is proposing—subject ‘to Senate concurrence and White House opposition—is to finish | the job of price control circumvention which was begun | last summer when wage control was terminated, for all practical purposes. That set up intolerable stress |all along the industrial production and sales lines— | |stresses which were reflected in the pressure .on the | | House of Representatives to tear the heart out of what | | remained of OPA. 3 ; Mr. Petrillo’s Answer i (Washington Post) | With his customary impertinence, Mr. James ! caesar Petrillo has in effect thumbed his nose at the | |efforts of Congress to restrict his activities by law.| | In a bill signed by President Truman, Congress sought | to limit severely certain unsavory practices of Mr.!

BUSINESS AFFAIRS Many impending improvemenis | in transportation will serve to islation went to the White House, the wily Mr. | Petrillo had eluded its grasp by launching forth in | another direction. He now has his eye on the lush coffers of Hollywood. Mr. Petrillo is no piker. He has asked (org three-fold increase in the number of | musicians hired by the eight principal motion picture studios, along with a 100 per cent pay raise for the 10 playing Hours a week permitted by the union. And, considering the iron bludgeon he seems to wield over* employers and musicians alike, the chances are that his new requests will be met in substantial measure. Congress, of course, asked for this gesture of defiance. Petrillo’s sweeping demands appear ridicu- lous, but no more so than the apoplectic restriction bill passed by Congress. Mr. Petrillo has amply dem- onstrated the folly of any legislation aimed at one particularly union or industry. Recognition in the law of what constitute legitimate practices and responsibili- ties of every union remains a grave national need, unfortunately largely untouched so far. Aberrations such as the anti-Petrillo bill contribute nothing to an equitable fcrmula. It is a disillusioning commentary ! on the ways of Congress that its members can become so irate and can generate so much steam over the | Musicians’ Union, which affects only a relatively small | number of persons. But in matters of public utilities, | steel, and the present coal strike, with the operation of the Nation’s very productive machine at stake, there | is scarcely more than a feeble yelp. of this serious long nose-dive to | strike.” the rest of the; That is how John L. Lewis, like certain other umpopulag: figures in current history, breaks the camel’s back. i (50 jail before the war, it has now sprung to ‘e again. So far its aetivities av> scattered and feeble but significantly growing stronger. Tc illustrate, here is a secret sur- vey of KKK activities in the South which shows how intolerance, the poison which helped bring the downfall of Hitler, is creeping into our National bloodstream. ‘The post-war revival of the Klan began on October 10 when a fiery cross was burned on Stone Moun- tain just outside of Atlanta, Ga., which once again has become the KKK ational headquarters. S8ince then five Klan chapters have been meeting reguiarly in Atlanta. Chap- ter No. 1 has a weekly attendance of 150, and several city policemen, city officials and substantial citi- zens have joined in the last few weeks. In Knoxville, Tenn., Birmingham, Ala, Key West, Fla, and Mary- ville, Tenn., Klan chapters are meeting regularly. In Miami Fla., several crosses have been burned since V-J Day, but a vigorous ex- pose of the Miami Herald has re- stlted in Klan condemnation by ministers, civic leaders, and politi- cians.

On ‘apout March 4, Mrs. Kate Robbins, a resident of Chattanooga, purchased a dry goods store in near-by Red Bank On March 8, a ficry cross was burned across the street. Pive men wearing Klan robes and hoods, though their fac- es were. unmasked, stood in the street oufside. One of them poked his head through her door and asked if she knew what the cross-burning meant. When she did not reply, he said: “It means we don't Jews in Red Bank.” On March 18 Mrs. Robbins found bickory switches tied to the door- knch of the store and a note under the door which read _“We meant business.
