But Hiss was not purged, even though he wrote the share- croppers’ opinion. However, he was subjected to such criticism by his associates for remaining on the job that his old friend, Felix Frankfurter, now Su- preme Court Justice, then profess- or at the Harvard Law School, telephoned Gardner Jackson, asking that the critics lay off.

In a moving picture, the scene might have peared comic. The helpless old man, he could not have weighed more than 150 pounds, wa a dead weight. He sagged in the middle and one or the other of his legs kept slipping from the grasp of the men. The heavy coat he was wearing made the pale old fellow a little too wide to go through the door of the cab, which kept swinging shut. Fin after about five minutes of pulling and hauling, the sick man lay bunched up in the back seat, and the cab skidded its wheels on the ice and headed for the pital.

In 1932 that alliance was strong. The two groups were held together by common distres. Improvement in the lot of each was clearly to the advantage of the other: a higher farm income meant more purchasing power and therefore more employment for the union- ist; higher wages for unionists meant more purchas- ing power and therefore a better market for farm jgoods. Money was scarce, and the capacity to ex: ! pand production and services was hu The alliance | made in 1932 lasted until the post-war period. Today, however, the new alliance between nlp farmer and the laborer is very tentative. The situa- tion is reversed. Money is plentiful, and the capacity to expand production of goods and services is very slight. 1If either organized agriculture or organized Tabor is fmmoderate in its demands, the alliance will fall apart. A continuation of or increase in the present high price of foods and agriculture raw materials would pinch even more painfully the consumers, of whom laborers are so large a par And another round of wage increases would raise even higher the prices the farmer has to pay. Clearly self-restraint by both of the victorious .1ll|es is in order. Together they hold the power to <rt another rocket under inflation or to hold it in check and gradually reduce it.
