By DREW PEARSON
A'ASHINGTON-President Truman had a sig-
nificant talk with labor's undiplomatic dip-
lomat. R. J. Thomas. president of the CIO auto
workers union, during which the latter opened
up on Truman's appointment of Judge Lewis
Schwellenbach as Secretary of Labor.
"I'm worried about that. Mr. President."
Thomas said. "I understand Schwe lenbach is
Dave Beck's man." Beck is head of the Team-
ster's Union in Seattle and a powerful NFL
leadef
"Don't you worry about Schwellenbach's rep-
resenting anybody but me." shot back the Pres-
ident. "Anyone who's in my cabinet speaks for
me. If he doesn't, he'll o out cn his ear."
"Well" replied Thomas. - ust wanted to
make sure that the AFL isn't running the coun-
try. "
"No one, from either the AFl or the CIO or
the National Association of Manufacturers-
or even the auto workers union-is going to
tell me how to run the country." was Truman's
quick rejoinder.
Reconversion Mes.
THOMAS then made an impassioned appeal to
the President for swift action on the recon-
version front. He pointed out that tens of
thousands of auto and aircraft workers are
being fired aaiy-
"My boys aren't going to stand for much of
that. Mr. President." said Thomas. "They're
going to blame you and the administration un-
less something's done in a hurry."
"I realize that," Truman replied. "But you've
got to remember that no man ever came to the
White House at a more imfortunate time than
I did. I've got a million things to do and I'm
trying to get to them as fait as I can."
Finally Truman asked Thomas to write him a
detailed recommendaticn for reconversion.
"Will you read it if I send.it in." Thomas
asked. "or will it just go to some clerk?"
The president promised to look it over care-
fully himself.
Just as Thomas was about to leavc the Pres-
ident's office. he turned to Truman and said:
"I'm no communist. Mi. President. but I don't
like the mess Stettinius has got us into. Roose-
velt always was able to keep a good balance be-
tween Russia. Britain and ourselves. But now
this bird has got us into the position where
we're a kite on the tail of the British lion."
"You can't blame Stettinius for that," re-
plied Truman. "The situation after the Pres-
ident's death was so confused that we had to
get straightened out in a hurry. I don't like
it any more than you do. There wasn't enough
preparation for the conference. But you and
your boys can be sure I am going to get it
straightened out:"



Ontario Electioiis

ESULTS of the recent elections for the On-
tario legislature clearly indicate a reversal
of trend toward socialism in that Canadian
province and may also be used as evidence to
support the notion that the whole of Canada
may be swinging back to the right after a
brief excursion into left wing policy.
Of a possible 90 seats, the Ontario Conser-
vative party won 66, a convincing majority.
But perhaps even more significant was the
loss of 28 seats by the outright socialistic
CF party, which advocates a sort of evolu-
tionary socialism through democratice chan-
nels.
The Conservatives. prior to the dissolution of
the legislature claimed a bare majority of 38 to
34 over the CCF. and were in constant danger of
defeat by a coalition of the CCF with the small-
er Liberal party. Now it appears that the
Conservatives are to have smooth sailing in
Ontario.
Political analysts differ as to the significance
of the Ontario vote in the forthcoming Domin-
ion elections scheduled for Monday. Ontario
is only one of nine Canadian provinces, and is
predominantly industrial while the other eight
have an overwhelming rural majority. And in
one of those rural provinces. Saskatchewan.
the CCF last year returned a large majority to
the provincial legislature.
At the time of the Saskatchewan elections
emnment. Repudiation of the CCF in the On-
ing McKenzie King's Liberal Dominion gov-
ernient. Repudiation of the CCF in the On-
tario election has certainly not encouraged that
hope, but at the same time there is no posi-
tive sign that it has been smashed.
The Ontario elections, confused by pro-
vincial and other non-dominion issues, may
actually have constituted a rebuff to the
CCF and its program of evolutionary social-
ism. Or. it may mean nothing at all except
a public dislike for certain provincial policies
advocated by the CCF. The very inconclu-
sive nature of the Ontario vote thus focusses
even greater interest on the expected battle
between fundamental political doctrines when
Canadians go to the polls Monday to decide
whether their country shall follow Europe
and embrace Socialism or shall continue with
its present form of government.

Postal Employes
OSTAL employes have had no salary increase
in 20 years. Postal employes had a salary
cut of 27 per cent during the depression. Postal
employes' base pay is 32 to 40 dollars a week.
Postal cmployes receive less for overtime than
straight time. Postal employes are not exempt
from any taxes, city, state or federal."
These facts are pointed out to Ann Arbor
citizens on a card entitled "An Appeal from
Your Post Office Employes" recently distributed
on all mail routes. Further information reveals
that despite the 100 per cent increase in postal
receipts since 1935, despite the fact that the
volume of mail in 1945 will be 65 per cent
greater than in 1935. despite the large amount of
military and other free mail carried, there will
be a profit above $100.000,000. This should be
noted in contrast to the fact that the post office
now employs only 36 per cent more people than
in 1935
The first step in a long, hard battle for postal
employes was won when the House passed the
Postal Employes Salary Bill. providing a pay
increase of $1.90 per week. on May 15. Postal

Wlwe Swings Righ f .
B IG BUSINESS representatives. .'nce worriedi
over Henry Wallace. are smiling broadly
about his new committee to study patents. They
have managed to put one of the ablest defenders
of the old patent system in the position of writ-
ing the vitaly important patent report for Wa]-
lace.
He is Houston Kenyon. attorney for Stand-
ard Oil of New Jersey. which withheld syn-
thetic rubber patents from the American pub-
lic before the war. and which is now engaged
in a lawsuit with the U.S. government to re-
cover 2.000 alleged Nazi patents seized from
Standard by the Alien Property Custodian.
The special committee was set up by Secre-
tary Wallace at the suggestion of President Tru-
man. who strongly criticized monopolistic pat-
ents and the "misuse" of patents. and cited the
need for revising the whole patent system. Fol-
lowing this. Wallace appointed two old-line
patent defenders. Charles F. Kettering of Gen-
eral Motors and Dr. Vannevar Bush. to sit on
the patent committee.
This was interesting enough. But. to top
it all, Houston Kenyon. defender of the Stand-
ard Oil-I. G. Farben cartel patents, is actually
writing the first draft of the report for the
Wallace committee and doing the main spade-
work for its members.
It was originally expectea that Attoi'ney Gen-
eral Biddle. the other cabinet member delegated
to act with Wallace. would serve as a break on
the big business patent boys. But present dope
is that the patent report will be hcld up until
after July 1. vhen Mr. Biddle will be out of the
cabinet.

Not only are newspapers barred from even

phases of the Pacific war,b ut :he Navy for some
weird reason hushed up the bombing of the
airplane carrier Franklin from April 26. when
she got to New York. to May 17. when the dis-
aster finally was announced. There were ob-
vious reasons for keeping the news quiet while
the shimp was en route throuh the Panama
Canal. Bu: once it passed the canal and was
safely tied up in New York. all danger was past.
However. the Navy still invoked censorship.
Again, if Senator Langer of North Dakota
had had his way, the lives of five children and
one woman who climbed a tree to examine a
Jap baloon in Oregon would have been saved.
Last January. Langer urged the Secretary of
War to let the public know these balloons were
coming over and quietly warn people to keep
away from them. But the army refused until
finally rumor became so rife that it reluctantly

'D RA THER BE RIGH T:
Full Em>loviieut
By SAMUEL GRAFTON
THE "full employment" bill 'S.380 shocks a
number of conservatives. because it is a pro-
posal that we undress cur economy. once a year.
and look at it without its clothes on. The bill
requires the President to stand up before Con-
cress. annually. and furnish that body with three
estimates. First, he is supposed to guess. as
closely as the science of economics will let him.
how many persons are going to wan: jobs during
the coming year. Second. he is supposed to give
Congress an estimate of how much business
activity would be needed to provide jobs for all
who want them. Third. he is required to esti-
mate how much private business there is actpal-
ly going to be. during the next twelve-month.
If it tuins out happily that there is actually go-
ing to be a sufficient volume of business to pro-
vide jobs for all who seek them. the assembled
Congressmen presumably deliver themselves of
three cheers and a tiger. and go home for the
day.
If. however, it should prove that there is going
to be a lower volume of business than is needed
for full employment, S.380 dequires the Pres-
ident to suggest how the slack is to be taken up.
=S.380 is a remorseless and implacable bit of
legislation: it doesn't let anybody off.
First the President is required to suggest
ways by which private business may take up
the slack. Second, he may suggest means by
which local government can do so, Third, he
may suggest changes in Federal policy, such
as tax or tariff revisions, to create more jobs.
But, fourth, if all these methods do not suffice,
he must lay it on the line; he must propose
sufficient federal expenditures to make the
number of jobs in the country approximately
balance the number of workers in the country.
The idea is that the President doesn't step
down off that dais until almost everybody in
the country is sure of a job for a year.
(1ONGRESS is then required, by 5.380. to adopt
a general job program for the year. either
the President's. or the Presidents with modifi-
cations, or one of its own. It will be seen that
the thing about S.380 is that it makes everybody
finish his sentences. and complete his thoughts.
At present, both the Executive and the Legis-
lature are allowed to be as incoherent as they
please. to speak in disjointed bills and uncon-
nected recommendations.
5280 is a bill requiring both the President and
Congress to tell us little stories about them-
selves, where they're going. what they intend,
what they really think about things. etc.
An unusual kind of democratic stock-taking
is thus proposed, a new form of self-examina-
tion. It is not strange that many conservatives
regard the entire proposal as rather indecent.
It is sort of nked. It brings the central prob-
em of our economy out on the stage, throws
a spot on it, and bids us look, without blushing.
To look, just to look, is always the beginning
of wisdom: a defeat for 5.380 will be a victory
for the averted eye.

POINT to be made is : at S.380 takes us ito
th eamofaknd ofecnmi mtphsis
The plinm truth is that we don't know what it's
like to lve in an economy n which we're all sire
of jobs. What effect would that knowledge of
.ecurity hav:e on our personal spending. our sav-
ings. our plannin We have no idea. at all:
but there is a chance that 5.330 might create an
atmosphere which would giv:e us incidental busi-
ness benefits. not to be obtained by rando.t
unscheduled relief measures. The mere exist-
ence o f S 380 'icT coraev bly be more re-
assuring, and do us more cod thn the amounta
act ua li spent under it
If one were to sum up. in a single realistic
comment, one might say that since there is
going to be work relief anyway. we might as
well do it under S.380, and get the incidental
benefits. We don't get them when we leap
frjm relief measure to relief measure, as one
crossing a river on floating cakes of ice.

President Truman is accused of
tr yg to further centralization of
power throughiis proposal. It isi
pointed out that in 1944 he strongly
supported the Murray-Kilgore bill
which would have removed state con-,
trol of unemployment compensation
rates and established a nationally
paid maximum of $25 a week for as
lone a period as two years if neces-
sary. Yet it should be recognized
that the Murray-Kilgore bill and the
new proposal are inherently different.
The blurray-Kilgo're bill would have
made the insurance system entirely
federal: the proposed bill merely calls'
for a shot term federal subsidy to
step up the state ceilings without
removing state authority over the
system.
Nor is the President acting on
unsubstantiated personal beliefs or
insufficient information. His pro-
posals run parallel in many'- re-
spects to recommendations in the
Social Security Board's last report.
It is creditable that he draws on
reliable authorities for facts and
that he gives consideration to their
recommendations as to policies.
He is even more to be commended
for his independence of thought in
presenting these proposals.
