THE NEWBERRY SUN, NEWBERRY, S. C.
VANDENBURG GOP CANDIDATE
WASHINGTON. — Erudite Sena
tor Vandenberg of Michigan not only
has been doing a good job on for
eign relations, but he takes it—and
himself—seriously. Perhaps one is
necessary to the other. Talking to
a friend the other day, the Michi
gan senator opined:
“Well, we’re getting along pretty
well now that we have a Republi
can foreign policy.”
“What do you mean?"
“Well, analyze it for yourself,"
shot back the man who may be the
next GOP nominee. "It all goes back
to my now somewhat famous
speech of January, 1945.”
NOTE—Van claims he is get
ting bored with politics. “One
question I can't answer to my
wife’s satisfaction," he says, “is
why I’m running for re-election
(as senator). I’ve threatened to
divorce her if she asks me
again.” (The answer, of course,
is that if Van doesn’t run again
for senator, he won’t be in the
trial heats for President.)

SENATE LABOR REBELLION
Deadliest backstage punches
against President Truman's labor-
draft program were scored by CIO
Pres. Phil Murray in a secret meet
ing held by the senate education
and labor committee.
Those present included Murray;
Lew Hines, AFL legislative repre
sentative; Martin Miller, represent
ing A1 Whitney's railway train
men; plus Senators Jim Murray of
Montana (chairman), David I.
Walsh of Massachusetts, Elbert
Thomas of Utah, Claude Pepper of
Florida, Lister Hill of Alabama, Joe
Guffey of Pennsylvania and Wayne
Morse of Oregon.
The CIO president got right down
to cases.
“My organization has always fol
lowed President Truman’s recom
mendations in labor disputes and
the record proves it,” Murray de
clared. "Look at the auto, steel and
oil disputes. We went along with the
fact-finding boards. In some cases
we had to accept much below what
we asked, but we did so patri
otically.
“Can industry say as much?"
Murray continued. "Look what
happened during the auto
strike. General Motors held out
for months against the recom
mendations of Truman’s fact-
finding board, which labor was
willing to accept. That was a
case of management striking
against the government, but did
President Truman call for a
joint session of congress to up
braid General Motors offi
cials as he did recently against
labor? He did not.”
NO-STRIKE PLEDGE?
Then, with a scowl, the usually
mild - mannered CIO boss acidly
added:
“Did be offer legislation then
to penalize and enslave all
management as he did in this
case against labor? Well, I don’t
remember reading anything
about it."
Senator Hill inquired if labor
would be willing to offer Truman a
compromise on the strike issue,
such as a six month no-strike
pledge.
“That is impossible, as far as
the CIO is concerned,” replied Mur
ray emphatically. “My organization
is run on Democratic lines and such
a pledge could never be enforced.
When 'members of a CIO union are
working under intolerable condi
tions, I couldn’t dictate to them not
to strike. Therefore, I would never
agree to such a pledge."
RATIONING FERTILIZER
Agriculture department experts
are worried over a new drive by
Dixie democrats. They now want
fertiLzer rationed. Hitherto, potash
fertilizer has been used mainly for
food growing, but now the southern
bloc wants it rationed so more can
go for the cotton and tobacco crops.
Midwest farmers do not object to
the idea of rationing of potash, pro
vided rationing regulations recog
nize the supreme importance of
food. The Civilian Production ad
ministration, however, has always
allocated scarce materials on the
basis of a base period, and the
southern representatives are insist
ing that any new rationing program
be based upon 1944 consumption of
fertilizer.
In 1944, five southern states
used 44 per cent of the nation’s
fertilizer but produced only 10
per cent of the nation’s food. In
the same year, five midwest
states produced 50 per cent of
the nation’s food but used only
1 per cent of the fertilizer.
CAPITAL CHAFF
The exit of young men continues.
Josiah DuBois, one of Secretary
Vinson's crack assistants, has re
signed to practice law here and in
Camden, N. J. . . . Secretary of the
Interior Cap Krug ended a six-hour
fishing trip in the Virgin Islands
with a painful sunburn, then pro
ceeded to sweat out 12 days of hot
ter negotiations with John L. Lewis.
. . . At Fort Washington, Md., is a
half-empty veterans’ hospital which
costs the taxpayers $211 a day per
patient.
FISHING BY RADIO
Sonar, the sound-detecting device
developed in the war, is being used
by fishermen.to locate fish. We will
now hear of “the big one that faded
away.”
*
Sardine fishermen are already us
ing the device and hope to increase
their catches greatly. Any instru
ment that can locate sardines
should be terrific when after sword
fish.
*
Different fish make different
sounds. These will be tabulated so
fishermen may know which fish is
broadcasting.
• • •
We can imagine the fishing trip of
tomorrow:
A couple of fellows, Joe and Gus,
climb into the leaky rowboat
equipped with a sonar set and pull
for the fishing grounds. They heave
the anchor and tune in for pros
pects. . . .
“Hear anything?” asks Joe.
“Yes, there are fish all around,
but they are not coming through
clearly,” says Gus.
“Sounds like a school of blow-
fish,” says Gus a minute later as
he hears a terrific disturbance.
“Naw,” puts in Joe as he too
tunes in. “It’s just another one of
those radio breakfast table chats.”
“No matter where you go you
can’t get away from those pro
grams,” sighs Gus.
• • •
Now Joe registers excitement
and fidgets with the dials.
“Ooofle . . . glub-glub . . . arf . . .
bozzle-wozzle . . . irk!” comes a
sound from the deep.
“Codfish?” asks Gus.
“Nope. Just a congressional de
bate. I can’t seem to tune out
those land programs and get into
deep water.”
“Stick to congress and you’ll be
in deep water enough,” moans Gus.
• • *
“Wurf-f-f-f . . . gozz-goss . . .
bwilch-h-h . . . gazink-kkk. Brrr,”
comes <r?#r the sonar set.
“Seabass!” says Gus.
“How can you tell?” asks Joe.
“I’ve got a code book.”
Presently some very loud 'noises
seem to indicate a school of big fish
broadcasting. But all they catch is
a small eel.
“How do you explain a thing like
that?” asks Joe.
“Something wrong with my bat
teries,” says Gus.
• * •
And so on. Until at the close of
day they get something fairly big.
As they haul it into the boat the
fish gives vent to a most annoying
series of grunts and groans.
“I knew it,” exclaims Gus. “It’s
a commercial!”
• • •
An “Eat More Potatoes” drive
is on with special attention to
public eating places. Well, a
first step could be a little effort
to solve the mystery of why so
many eating places seem never
to have heard that there is any
other way to cook a potato ex
cept as french fries. Try to get
a baked or boiled one, without
influence.
• * •
Plain Talk on Idiots
No matter what you may think of
his stand on other matters, Harry
Truman is right about automobile
drivers. The only thing that puz
zles us is his candor and toughness
on this point.
»
It must be that he thinks all the
crazy auto operators are Republi
can anyhow.
*
The President says that we are
not only permitting nuts, morons
and crazy people to drive automo
biles on the streets of America, but
making it easy for them. That’s
an understatement.
* • •
THE UNION AT THE BAT
’Twas a balmy day in summer
With a double-header planned—
But to one game they had cut it
On the union’s late demand;
Early had the ball fans gathered,
But the game was slow to start
Due to technical proceedings
On an organizer’s part.
Now the battle seemed impending—
Fans sat ready to enthuse
Till a further stay resulted
From some unpaid union dues;
Then a checkoff was demanded.
And the bleachers took it hard
When three pitchers were excluded
As they had no union card!
• • •
CAN YOU REMEMBER—
Away back when, whatever might hap
pen at breakfast, it would never wind up
as a radio broadcast?
• * •
America is now to get bread
made from potatoes. We await the
fellow who will ask to have a roll
french fried.
* * *
We understand that Chester
Bowles hopes that whatever the
critics say of his new book they
Will not say "there is meat in it.
G.I. SIDEWALK ASSOCIATION . . . When the chamber of commerce of Port Arthur, Texas, discovered, a
large body of unemployed veterans idle and seeking work, it moved to not only employ them but also beauti
fy the city. The ex-G.I.s were formed into a concrete sidewalk laying association, in two weeks a pent-up
demand for walks resulted in orders being signed for over 18,000 square feet. The veterans are making up
to $12 a day at standard price of 35 cents per square foot.
THE GREAT CRONIN—PINT SIZED EDITION . . . Being the son of Joe Cronin, manager of the Boston
Red Sox (most highly paid big league skipper) carries some weight in the city of the bean and the cod. Corky
Cronin, 5, kneels on one knee “just like pop,” and lays down the modus operand! for a coming game to the
“Lake Avenue Wildcats.” His team doesn’t seem to be taking young Cronin too seriously.
SPEED WINNER ... A big victory smile shines through grease,
grime and sweat as George Robson, Maywood, Calif., is congratulated
as winner of 30th annual 500-mile speedway classic at Indianapolis,

handler” is a cowboy ho-hum on the

her way out of Sardi’s one night in
their hey-day.

John with a drink?” asked Lionel.
“Nothing,” sighed Ethel. “But I
saw him without one!”
Maurice Barrymore (John’s tal
ented paw) was asked the best way

starve.”
