DAWKINS That was a startling appraisal of the power of Sidney Hillman which Ray Tucker presented in his Whirli gig column Saturday morning, in which he made the unqualified asser tion that the head of the C. I O. Political Action Committee “has be come almost overnight virtual boss of the Democratic party, although responsible leaders of that organiza tion . . . tolerate him only because he has Presidential blessing a nd be cause they need his aid against the resurgent Republicans.' His Political Action Committee, which is nothing less than the politi cal department of the C. I O., months ago had an “initial fund’’ of $700,- 000, drawn from union treasuries for 1944 campaign purposes. Now Mr. Tucker reports that it has al ready spent $200,000, that Hillman admits he has almost unlimited fi nancial resources and that he can underwrite a nation-wide purge of “offending politicos,” meaning mem- j bers of Congress and other office: holders who have offended the C.' I. O. by failing to do its bidding, re- | gardless of the rights or the will of j a great majority of the people of America. I Many people believe the functions and practices of the Political Action Committee violate the Corrupt Prac tices act, but it long ago was given a clean bill of health by Attorney Gen eral Biddle, and congressional com mittees that are supposed to investi gate campaign expenditures have , shown no interest in the activities of the Hillman group, according to Mr. Tucker, who says he “swings a big ger stick than did Boies Penrose, Roger Sullivan and Charley Murphy combined.” And that suggests the question, if Hillman will be any less virtual boss of the Democratic party or any less powerful in Washington after the election if he and his committee suc- NOTICE OF TAX SALES BY THE TOWN OF NEWBERRY State of South Carolina, Town of Newberry. In thslr »ggr**clv«, Intensive, well financed campaign to make sure that only their friends and political economic field, yes men are elected? The logic W hat is the of M th , e situation of course is that he I observer will be far more powerful than ever. ' Already, Mr. Tucker, who is con- stantly on the scene in Washington, ; reports that Hillman confers with President Roosevelt or one of his top- notch aids almost daily. The question all this brings to the gfreat majority of the American peo ple is whether they are wiling to permit this “Lithuanian immigrant who did not reach the United States until he was 20 years old’’ to be what Mr. Tucker says he is already, “America’s No. 1 political ruler”, al though he represents and speaks for only a small minority of the voting population of this Nation. Will the great majority of Ameri can citizens not wake up to what is happening until they find Hillman wielding such power over them as he already exercises over the mem bers of the C. I. O. union, which Mr. Tucker has described in this highly significant paragraph: “He bosses his C. I. O. almost as ruthlessly as John L. Lewis domi nates the United Mine Workers of America. Union members pay extra assessments without protest, be cause they dare not refuse, and nev er question the use to which they are put. He calls himself the sole trustee of those funds. He writes the platforms for his so-called ex ecutive board and tells local chap ters whom they must support in con gressional scraps.” There is increasing evidence that the Providence Journal was right in sounding the warning in its recent assertion that “the C I. O. makes a bid for unlimited power, for total sem* power tn th* political field, M a means of seeking total power In tbe answer ?—Charlotte Russia and Japan (Greenville News) What Russia may do about the war with Japan when Hitler is disposed of is a question yet to be answered; but there is no doubt whatever but that Moscow fully realizes the Jap anese menace to its own interests. More striking evidence of the Rus sian attitude toward Japan has been recently .provided in an article in the Soviet publication “War and the Working Classes,” which has of late come to be a leading exponent of the Russian government view. This article which links the fate of Japan’s “stolen empire’ with Ger many’s doom, recalls the aggressive designs of Japanese imperialists against Russia in 1942 when the Red Army was hard-pressed. During the period when the Hitlerite hordes were devastating Soviet lands, it re calls, “Mainichi Shimbun’’ wrote in February, 1942, that “Japan’s supply lifelines are southward but its life line of existence lies northward. The forces of our country should be di rected not only south but north as well.” And the Russian publication goes on to say that several Japanese newspapers then made demands for the inclusion of Siberia and central Asia in the Japanese eastern sphere. “These nightmarish plans of the Japanese imperialists found an in glorious end with the German defeat at Stalingrad,” it adds. Undoubtedly there is a purpose in bringing this matter up now to "re- freah the memory” o* the Russian people concerning Japan’s aspira tions. Russia is not forgetting, nor allowing her people to forget, what Japan would undertake to do if she were not prevented nom it by tlie increasing difficulty of her war sit uation. And Moscow sees its own vital interest in placing Japan per manently beyond the power of at tempting. Fair Enough By Westbrook Pegler New York, June 20—Long-distance telephone records subpenaed by the Dies committee have revealed a close relationship between the Political Action Committee of Ihe C. I. O. a nd the following: The White House and Mrs. Roose velt. Vice President Henry Wallace. The Department of Agriculture. The Department of Justice, and various regional directors of the Farm Security Administration hav ing power to exert strong political and economic pressure on farmers. Numerous calls to regional F. S. A. offices were made in most cases by C. B. Baldwin, assistant director of the Political Action Committee, who resigned his job as chairman of the F. S. A. in Washington to be come actual manager of the P. A. C.’s campaign to elect President Roosevelt for a fourth term and Mr. Wallace for a second term and to defeat a select list of aspirants for the House of Representatives and the Senate. Sidney Hillman, P. A. C. chairman, is president of the Amalgamated Clothing Workers, C. I. O., and re cently has been denounced by David Dubinsky a nd other right-wing union radicals, as leader of the Communist Party in New York, now knowm as the American Labor Party. Baldwin has held various key jobs in Washington ever since 1933, when he caught on a s Assistant Secretary of Agriculture under Wallace. He be came director of the Farm Security Administration in October 1940. The phone calls indicate a strong continu ing interest and influence in the F. S. A., while he is on leave serving with the political leader of the New York Communist faction of the un ion movement. The slips showed 28 calls from the New York headquarters of the C. I. O.’s Political Action Committee di rect to the White House including one from Hillman to Mr. Roosevelt, and another from Hillman to David Niles, formerly Nyhus, of Boston, one of the President’s selfless assistants : with a passion for anonymity and for left-wing politics Hillman also called i Vice President Wallace. Baldwin is recorded as having made three cals to Wallace’s office. The Hillman-Baldwin- Communist group of the C. I. O. has defeated for renomination both Martin Dies, of Texas, and Joe Starnes, of Ala bama. Starnes is a member of the Dies comittee. Records show, according to the Dies committee, ‘‘■hundreds’’ of calls from the P. A. C.’s New York head quarters to various Government of ficials, particularly in the Depart ment of Agriculture, which controls the Farm Security Administration and the fortunes of many farmers through its local agents scattered everywhere.
