NA T URAL RESOURCES:
CIO Official Praises Public Enterprise

Vacationer

"Public enterprise has shown
that it can do the job better ac-
cording to Anthony W. Smith, as-
sistant director of the CIO Indus-
trial Union Councils.
He spoke Monday evening in the
natural resources lecture series on
"The Role of Government in Re-
source Conservation."
* * *
SMITH, WHO said that his
statements represented the views
of the CIO and probably of all
organized labor, described the de-
velopment of the Tennessee Valley
Authority and other government
conservation projects.
"Public enterprise of this kind
is here to stay in America and

more of it is on the way," he
said.
He condemned private enter-
prise as being wasteful and inef-
ficient in the exploitation of na-
tural resources.
"Uncontrolled free enterprise
has not done the job .as it should
have," he said. "That leopard is
not likely to change its spots."
.* * *
SMITH CALLED for govern-
ment control of the oil industry,
because of its wasteful tactics in
the past. He said that the industry
had often burned natural gas in
the field.
Because we are rapidly ex-
hausting our iron ore resources,

Shaw Celebrates
93rd Birthday
AYOT ST. LAWIKNCE, Eng-
land-(Al)-Still needle-sharp in
the wits but a bit shaky in the
legs, George Bernard Shaw turned
93 yesterday.
Impish as ever, the reedy old
sage refused to open any of his
50-congratulatory telegrams.
"He's just putting it off," ex-
plained his housekeeper, Mrs. Alice
Laden.

Smith expects us to have to
import large quantities of ore
from Canada or Latin America,
thus shifting the steel industry
to the east coast.
Timber is also being used up
much more rapidly than it can be
replaced. According to Smith, we
use about 50 million board feet
per year, while we grow only about
35 billion. Thus, reforestation is
a national problem.
TO MEET THIS problem, the
CIO official suggested that the
federal government take over the
management of privately-owned
forest land. This would guarantee
federal regulation of all timber
cutting.
Mismanagement of private
property injures everyone, he said,
including the property owner.
"It is part of our folklore that
every man is entitled to go to
hell in his own way, but I think
we are getting tired of the no-
tion that he is entitled to drag
everyone else with him," Smith
declared. .
Another serious problem, -c-
cording to Smith, is that of soil
erosion. He described the soil sit-
uation as "nothing less than catas-
trophic."
S * * *
HE ESTIMATES that one-half
of our' soil will be washed away in
45 days if present practices con-
tinue.
Smith warned that the public
should not fear increased govern-
mental activity, but that the dan-
ger of a totalitarian government
arises out of anarchy rather than
from a strong, democratically-con-
trolled central government.
Vau ghan Call's
Off Conference
GRAND RAPIDS - (P) - Maj.
Gen. Harry H. Vaughan, President
Truman's military aide, called off
a press conference here yesterday
after he became miffed over re-
porters' questioning.
Gen. Vaughan, here for the Re-
serve Officers Association Conven-
tion, landed at the Qity airport.
A reporter for a Grand Rapids
newspaper started asking him
about the medals he had on his
uniform, the "five per centers" un-
der investigation in Washington
and other matters.
Gen. Vaughan abruptly broke
off the interview. A short time
later his press conference, sched-
uled for 4 p.m., was cancelled. A
captain handling press relations
for the Reserve Officers attributed
the action to the incident at the
airport.

Arnold Asks'
Labor Anti-
TrstLaw
Ex-Trust Buster
Hits 'Monopoly'
WASHINGTON-(P) -Thurman
Arnold, former "New Deal" trust-
buster, yesterday urged Congress
to bring labor unions under the
federal anti-trust laws.
"It is a very dangerous thing,"
he said, "to permit unions to mo-
nopolize the labor supply without
any curbs whatsoever."
* * * .
ARNOLD TESTIFIED as a wit-
ness before the Senate banking
committee ,which is investigating
the coal industry and the tactics
of John L. Lewis' United Mine
Workers Union.
Senator Robertson (Dem.,
Va.) called for the inquiry as
an outgrowth of a June 30 de-
cree by Lewis setting a three-
day work week for his miners
in the coal fields. Robertson
Monday denounced the abbrev-
iated week as "a bold, overt act"
to fix prices and hold down pro-
duction.'
Arnold was chief of the Justice
Department's anti-trust division
during the late President Roose-
velt's regime and now is in private
law practice in Washington. He
told the Senate committee that
the three-day week was initiated
to create a coal scarcity and thus
place the miners' union in a fa-
vorable position for "the next
strike."
* WITHOUT A CHANGE in the
present anti-trust laws, Arnold
said, it would be easy for unions
and management to get together
and do "the very things which the
anti-trust laws forbid."
He noted that the Supreme
court, in several cases, has vir-
tually exempted unions from
the anti-trust laws.
Therefore, he said, it would be a
simple matter to fix prices and
restrict production-without vio-
lating anti-trust laws-by having
the union "initiate" such a move
and then the employers "give in."
* * *
ARNOLD TOLD the senators
that if the coal operators wanted
to raise their profits, they could
do so by "being acquiescent" to
such a scheme.
. Major coal operators testified
yesterday that Lewis' three-day
week had been "imposed" upon
them over their objections.
Arnold cited a list of what he
termed "illegitimate" activities of
labor unions, and he said the
matter of unions exploiting their
power to fix prices and limit pro-
duction is "the most dangerous of
all. "
"ONCE SUCH A DRIVE gets
going," Arnold said, "operators
may follow their natural inclina-
tions and when they encounter a
demand from a union to increase
prices and restrict production,
they will do it."
The former government lawyer
said that in writing any new labor
laws, Congress should define both
the "legitimate" and "illegitimate"
purposes of unions.

Teachers must together carry on
educational experimentationhand
research in order to approach an
understanding of education for in-
ternational peace.
This opinion was expressed yes-
terday by Margaret Koopman, vis-
iting professor from Central Mich-
igan College of. Education, and di-
rector of the U.S.-Canada work-
shop.
* * *
HER TALK WAS part of the
education school's summer lecture
series.
Educators must be aware of
the fact that -there can be a
third world war which would
involve the children and youth
they teach, she said. And what-
ever holds hope for peace is the
business of every person in edu-
cation, Prof. Koopman added.
She urged educators to support
all movements for fundamental
education , which is defined by
UNESCO as "full and equal op-
portunity for all; unrestrained
pursuit of objective truth; free ex-
change of ideas and knowledge;
education for a constructive way
of life with solution of essential
problems."
A GOOD beginning in this di-
rection would be to extend edu-
cationto disadvantaged people in
Michigan, for example,kthe mi-
grant agriculture workers, she
suggested.
Prof. Koopman urged teachers
GOv. Williams To
Speak at Milan
Gov. G. Mennen Williams will
speak at the Tri-County Farm-
ers' Picnic at noon next Sunday,
July 31, at the Wilson Memorial
Park in Milan.
Also, the Brannan Farm Plan
will be explained by Edward
Meade, -former member of the
State Agricultural Commission
and now an administrative assist-
ant to the governor.
The counties sponsoring the pic-
nic are Washtenaw, Monroe and
Lenawee.

to support movements for inter-
national cooperation through
teachers' clubs and other educa-
tional and professional organi-
zations.
She emphasized that such or-
ganizations were affiliated with
UNESCO, "one true organization
which might birng about solidarity
among peoples who believe in a
peaceful world."
