This, it seems to us, is a sad commentary upon the intelligence of the average voter. With the world just emerging from the most terrible of wars, with difficult economic adjustments to make at home and abroad, the threat of atomic destruction and the civil war of labor vs. capital—it seems that there is plenty here for much more important election issues A recent Gallup poll found that §3 per cent of the American people don't even know how many years their Representative to Congress serves in one term or office. A former Representative in Alaska's Leg- islature use to brag that the voters of his division were so dumb that they thought he was going all the way to Washington, D. C., when they elected him to office. He could have been right. However, they defeated him in the recent election so enough of his constituents must have known what he was doing. s Motive (Cincinnati Enquirer) In his own inimitable manner, John L. Lewis inter- ceded in the maritime strike which tied up American President Vice-President Manager - Managing Editor Business Manager promptly notify | time. 'shl});\ml: and ps yzed rail traffic | He addressed a telegram of commendation to the head of the striking union, stating “of course you wi win” over “that economic boar's nest that calls its {a wage stabilization board.” A postscript to the wire said: “If you need money, advise.” It is characteristic of Lewis that he gives no ! ‘| to the public interest. He rejoices in a strike which makes upward of 500,000 men idle, ties up 3,000 ships and freezes 5000 rz cars needed desperately for the movement of grain and other vital traffic else- where in the nation. Yet, as always, he is grinding personal ax Lewis welcomes the defiance of the government’s effort to adhcre to a wage ceiling. He welcomes it in a spirit of vengeance because in the past the wage stabilization plan has restrained him somewhat in his ever-increa demands for more money for the United Mine But, more practically, he welcomes the development because he knows t wage stabilization program is upset, powerful unicns can make the sky the limit in their e demands and he knows that the United Mi Workers under his obsolute domination could enforce almost any wa increase demand let 1qQ one suppc in an idle ge triking seafarers.

But govern as well as trade-union officials realize that once the wage-price spiral is allowed to gain any momentumi, | there may be no stopping the inflationary trend, with! the ultimate result that Fr might be seriously retarded | Thus while, last spring, wages were boosted an | average of 25 per cent, the cabinet has sought to avoid further increases until the production level has reached a point sufficiently high to remove the threat of infla- | tion. Finance Minister Robert Schumann, for instance, | has conceded the justice of the wage increases which | workers in his department asked for. But he has urged them to defer until next January, by which time, he hopes, an adjustment will be possible without danger to economic situation. But his pleas are apparently falling on deaf ears. 1s made s par off ce's The strike of the Finance Ministry employees is & spreading. Even the Paris police are now threatening | to walk out, as are the police of Marseille, Lyon and l other French cities. Thus at the very moment when | France appears to be winning its battle of production —the average level of industrial production is now well above 75 per cent of prewar, with the level in | certain industries, such as coal, beyond prewar—a serious crisis threatens. For, if the demands of the government workers are met, it will be very difficult | to reject similar demands by workers in pr te ent prises. Thus France's lackadaisical and even tole! attitude toward the black market in food, clothing and other necessities, is now rising to plague her ant | Unquesticnably the invention which permits the | ams from one radio station sending of eight prog simultaneously represents ment but it may strike terror to radio listeners.

Morrissy and Knost had not only helped construct Keesler Field at Biloxi, and Key Field at Meridian in 1941, but had received $3,527,268 - 39 in war contracts in 1943 The two “presents” they gave Bilbo were charged on the com- pany's books in equal amounts to the personal accounts of the two partners. When questioned about them by Government inspectors, Morrissy refused to comment. Knost stated that they were for the Wall Doxey Senatorial campaign However, Senator Doxey and his campaign associates all said that no such money had been spent by them Richard C. Wooton, attorney and certified public acdpuntant who prepared Bilbo's income-tax return said that the $8,75b was spent in the Doxey campaign, but the Sen- ator had no records to substantiate this statement.

It had leaked out that the OPA would grant an ine ied up in the price of zinc, following which the OPA postponed action for-three days. This gave the smart operators time to go out and buy zinc before the rise. So Senator Taylor, furious that OPA would permit a situation where’ a lucky few stood to profit on something the entire industry should know, called in Idaho news- men and announced the price rise. .Washington hostesses are mif- | led at, Ingrid Bergman for vetoing their dinner invitations.
