AFL Breaks With Farm Agencies;
Gen. Eisenhower Reports on Europe
AFL BREAKS TIES—Farmers and farm workers across the nation
were pondering the sudden action of/the American Federation of Labor
obviously aimed at breaking off its heretofore friendly relations with
the American Farm Bureau Federation and the National Grange.
Meeting at Montreal, Canada, the AFL’s executive council issued a
statement which charged that the labor organization could no longer
“appease" these farm groups because they had swung “to the side of
reaction" in national affairs.
“In fact, on economic issues of vital concern to the national welfare,"
the statement said, “it has become difficult to discern any major differ
ence between the policy of the American Farm Bureau Federation and
the National Grange on the one hand, and that of the National Associa
tion of Manufacturers and the U. S. Chamber of Commerce on the other.”
The AFL then pointed out that “labor cannot go on indefinitely
supporting legislation beneficial to farmers while their organizations
maintain a policy of seeking punitive anti-labor legislation."
The AFL made it clear that it was disappointed in the action of the
farm groups in teaming up with “big business" representatives to defeat
the enactment of effective anti-inflation controls. This would seem to be
the opening shot in a civil war between two big segments of the nation's
economy.
REPORT ON EUROPE— One of the clearest reports the home towns
of the country have received
on western Europe’s grow
ing strength was made
last week by a senate sub
committee after a 14-day
visit with Gen. Dwight
Eisenhower.
The committee reported
Eisenhower as saying “it
is almost ridiculous for us to
be talking in terms of fright
and hysteria" in the face of
the free world’s overwhelm
ing strength.
The committee re
ported: (1) Eisenhower’s
headquarters is dissatisfied
with the fact that western
Europe has increased its
armed forces only 20 per
cent since the Korean war
began. (They have promised
a 75 per cent increase next
year); (2) Spain and Yugo
slavia should be brought
into the “master plans” for
defense of Europe; (3) Once
European military build-up
is complete, it will be possible “to begin the gradual withdrawal of U. S.
forces"; (4) There is dissatisfaction among U.S. field representatives
at the “multiheaded command" in Washington over political, economic,
and military operations; (5) It will cost about $1,000,000,000 in France
alone to erect the “overhead” for combat operations; (6) Without U.S.
leadership Europe by now might have fallen before Communism; (7)
Economic aid must be “primarily for the purpose of assisting friendly
countries to strengthen their individual and collective defenses"; (8) It
Is most important that east-west trade shall not be permitted to increase
the war potential of the Soviet Union.
RED BUILD-UP —While Allied and Communist representatives
negotiate a cease-fire at Kaesong, with increasing prospects for success,
the Reds have taken the opportunity to carry out a big military build-up
in Korea.
Observers are now wondering if the Communists are planning a new
offensive if the Kaesong armistice talks collapse, or are they pouring in
troops merely to strengthen the hand of their negotiators?
Many are inclined to belive it means a new offensive. They point Out
that unusually heavy truck traffic through North Korea toward the front,
started at the first mention of armistice talks late in June and continued
through mid-July.
There is an entirely new vigor in the North Korean army, observers
point out, and Communist artillery has become more plentiful and bolder.
Red prisoners and deserters invariably talk about plans for a “new
offensive". In the past they have usually been right.
THE WHEAT CROP— In a new crop forecast, the department of
agriculture predicts this year’s wheat crop will fall below a billion bushels
for the first time since 1943. This was a decrease of 72 million bushels
from its July 1 forecast. However, the department said, the indicated
crop, plus reserves, would be more than ample to meet needs.
Floods and dry weather last month was credited with cutting the crop
to an estimated 998 million bushel harvest. Several million acres of
wheat, corn, barley, flaxseed and potatoes were destroyed by mid-west
floods. The year’s corn estimate was lowered to 3,206 million bushels,-89
million bushels below last month’s predictions.
REDS TO ATTEND—Although the Soviet Union has announced she
will send delegates to attend 50-nation Japanese peace treaty conference
in San Francisco September 4, the Russian delegation is expected to
refuse to sign the document.
The Russians have bitterly condemned the proposed treaty draft as
illegal and a device for tying an “aggressive" satellite Japan to the
United States.
By attending the conference the Russians will again have an oppor
tunity to create world-wide propaganda. They can be expected to protest
the treaty item by item.
A CITY COMES BACK—Nearly 17 million tons of mud, muck and
debris have been shoveled
aside in Kansas City as the
flood-ravaged valleys of
Missouri continue to make
one of the nation’s most re
markable comebacks.
Just three weeks after
the flood waters had ebbed
from the Kansas City stock-
yards, a consignment of
shorthorn cattle pounded
through the wooden pens to
mark the reopening of the
nation’s second largest live
stock market.
Three major packing
plants are slaughtering
again and more than 120
business firms have returned
to offices evacuated during
the flood. Although many families are still in dire need of relief and
assistance, nearly 30,000 employees have returned to jobs washed out
by the mid-July flood.
Throughout the flood-stricken area, it’s been back to business for
grain elevators, flour mills, farm machinery concerns, transfer com
panies, sheet metal works, motor parts firms, tractor and equipment
companies, paint manufacturers, milling companies, a creamery and
dairy supply company, soap manufacturers - and lumber companies.
It has been a wonderful story of a city fighting its way back.
PRICE LAW VIOLATIONS
$10,000,000 Involved in Fifty Cases
Che government is investigating
major cases of alleged price-
iling violations that could result
the return of $10,000,000 to the
vemment and consumers.
Price Enforcement Director Ed-
rd P. Morgan hinted that the
ses involve some of the largest
siness concerns in the country,
i said one case “has possible in-
national ramifications and in
volves about $5,000,000 in illegal
profits."
In many cases the price agencies
are forcing firms found guilty of
violations to make restitution to
customers. In others, where there
is no clear method for repayment
to customers, money from settle
ments is paid to the United States
treasury.
LABOR OF LOVE
Tennessee Man
Builds Village
A New Church
DICKSON, Tennessee—This small
village, not too many miles from
Nashville, recently made newslines
across the nation—in an unusual
way.
It all began ten years ago, during
World War II, with a promise.
Edward Brown Henslee, successful
Chicago lawyer who was born in
Dickson owns a farm, 20 miles
away from the village. During those
bleak war days in 1941, like so
many other fathers, Henslee
watched his eldest son depart for
the battlefronts—as a navy ensign.
Pearl Harbor had crippled our
Pacific striking force. In the At
lantic, U-boats were inflicting
frightful losses. Everywhere our
Navy was battered—on the surface,
from the skies and from below the
seas.
Henslee knew well that Edward,
Jr. might not return. Already
American casualty lists were being
published. It was then he made a
vow. If his son returned safely, he
would build a Catholic church in
Dickson, a century-old parish And
he would build it to St. Christopher,
patron saint of travelers and all
embarking on perilous Journeys.
Son Returns
St. Christopher performed his job
well. After seeing much action,
young Henslee returned home—safe,
sound and a Lieutenant Command
er. Now it was Henslee Sr.’s, move.
People who had known Ed for years
around the Dickson community
knew that he was a man of his
word. He moved.
Materials and lack of manpower
held up plans for a while. Friends,
learning of the project stared In
amazement and tried to convince
Henslee of the folly of such an un
dertaking: Building materials were
sky high; few men could afford to
build a church single-handedly;
Dickson was getting along well
without the church, with services
being held in the home of Dr. Law
rence Jackson. Wasn't that good
enough? Henslee thought not. He
had made a promise.
The little red brick church with
the white pillars that now domi
nates the countryside is the symbol
of a fulfilled promise. Although
Henslee later had offers of dona
tions from the very persons who
had at first been skeptical about the
propect, he would allow no mone
tary contributions other than his
own. Yet everyone caught the spirit
and wanted to help. Almost every
one did in some way.
Community Helps
Sir Christopher’s was built com
pletely without blueprints. Its
cleahUned interior grew out of a
conversation and a rough sketch
on the back of an envelope; its in
terior was designed by the pastor.
The altar was designed and carved
by the skilled hands of the bishop
of the diocese. Protestants, Jews
and veterans’ groups contributed
many of its fittings; a Lutheran
church once housed its steeple bell;
and its chert-y paneling and fine
woodwork came from a proud old
Southern plantation home. Some
one aptly described the church as a
“universal labor of love."
Edward B. Henslee, Jr., the young
man whose service in the armed
forces during Word War II caused
the whole thing, is a little bewil
dered about the turn of events.
Now 31 years old and a father him
self, young Ned says, “perfect
•trangers stopped me on the streets
asking me how the church was
going. Even in Chicago (where he,
like his father, practices law) peo
ple want to know if I am the man
the church was built for. It’s
amazing!"
Yet the village of Dickson, sud
denly swamped with national puli-
licity, knew it was not so amazing.
Rather, it was an example of simple
faith . . . the faith of one man, and
those who saw the goodness in the
promise that man was determined
to ‘ fulfill. The $100,000 edifice
marks the completion of a promise
and the spirit in which it was con
structed marks it truly a “labor of
Tove’’ for the entire community.
Clinch County 'Fence'
Question Is Unsettled
HOMERVILLE, Ga.—The Clinch
county referendum over whether
to fence in livestock or people is
still unsettled after holding a third
meeting recently.
Fifty property owners asked for
a referendum to determine whether
livestock should be fenced. Fifty
others opposed the plan. Then an
other 25 joined in favor of the refer
endum and the same number joined
the opposing group. Superior Court
Judge E. R. Smith canceled the
meeting.
Since 1936, the small’ town has
been fenced in, in accordance with
an old law saying that people should
fence themselves in if they wished
to protect property from roving
livestock.
Such a referendum is known as a
"fence” or “no fence" referendum.
A vote for a “fence" means that
people should continue to fence
themselves, while “no fence" means
they can dispose of fences and put
them around the livestock.
The same problem faces many
small towns and rural areas
throughout the country. Livestock
allowed to roam at will is proving
a menace to traffic in some areas
KOREAN REDS IN BERLIN • . • A delegation of young Communists
from Korea marches to the Uibricht stadium for the youth festival in
East Berlin. More than 100,000 Communist youths from many parts of
the world pledged allegiance to Soviet Premier Stalin and enmity to
the United States at the opening of the rally. The secretary of the youth
league declared, “The belief of the people of the Soviet in the victory of
the Korean people over the U.S. aggressors is unshakable."
ANTI-U.S. POSTER . . . This huge poster was given a place of promi
nence in East Berlin for the Red youth rally held in that city. The
poster bears a composite portrait supposed to be of President Truman
and Adolph Hitler. Across the face of the poster is printed “Truman—
Hitler’s Successor." This was only one of the many anti-U.S. posters.

Ala., shown entering his plane, is the present ace among jet fighters
In Korea. Capt. Nelson has destroyed four MIG-15 jet fighters since he
arrived for service in the Korean war with the Fifth Air Force’s fourth
fighter wing. Nelson stepped into the lead after “Ace” Capt. Jim
Jabara was rotated to the United States on the armed services’ regular
plan for sending troops home after certain amount of combat:

ARMED COMMUNIST TROOPS IN KAESONG . . . General Matthew
B. Ridgway broke off the Korean peace conference because of the
violation of the neutral zone in Kaesong by armed Red troops. The five
mile demilitarised zone waa violated by about a company of armed
Chinese troops who marched near the conference house. These troops
are pictured here as they marched down a road, near the conference
house in the armistice city, carrying machine guns and rifles.

Tungsten at Stake
O NE REASON for the deadlock
over the cease-fire line in Ko
rea is that precious tungsten de
posits are at stake in the juggling
for position. For, without Korean
tungsten, this country won’t have
enough tungsten to build jet en
gines, armor-piercing shells and,
even more important, to supply
atomic energy needs.
The pie-shaped slice of land, held
by General Ridgway’s forces above
the 38th parallel, contains rich, un
tapped tungsten deposits. This is
one reason Ridgway has been or
dered to hold firm. Furthermore,
the largest tungsten mine in the
free world is located at Sangdon,
less than 60 miles below the 38th
parallel. This is another reason
Ridgway wants to hang on to his
stronger defense line above the 38th
parallel, and keep the Communists
as far from Sangdon as possible.
The shortage of tungsten is so
desperate that we have rushed
mining equipment to Korea, in
order to step up production at
. file Sangdon mine and to re
open small mines above the 38th
parallel.
It is no secret that this country
is over two million pounds short of
tungsten for civilian requirements
alone. Normally the United States
consumes about 14 million pounds
a year, chiefly for metal-cutting
tools. This doesn’t count the criti
cally needed tungsten for jet en
gines, armor-piercing shells and
atomic energy. In fact, our anti
tank warfare depends on these ar
mor-piercing shells, which can’t be
built without tungsten. Yet the Rus
sians know that the most tungsten
we can scrape up this year will be
about 12 million pounds—unless the
Korean mines can be rushed into
full production.
Declaration of Independence
Two newspapers have now tried
the experiment of asking Americans
to sign a petition containing nothing
but the Declaration of Independence
and the original amendments of the
U.S. constitution. First was the
Capital Times of Madison, Wis.,
which had 111 out of 112 people
refuse to sign. Second was the New
Orleans Item which had 24 out of
36 refuse to sign.
The New Orleans petition was cir
culated after both President Tru
man and this commentator had pub
licized the shocking 111 to 1 re
fusal in Wisconsin. Nevertheless its
results showed how many of the
American people either have for
gotten the inspiring precepts of the
founding fathers or else become
afraid of the expression of liberal
ideas.
Here are some of the reactions re
ceived. by reporter Allen Johnson
when he circulated the New Orleans
copy of the Declaration of Independ
ence and the Bill of Rights:
“Three men,” reported John
son, “called me a Communist.
One said, ‘My family’s with the
government, it would get them
in trouble. You know the FBI
checks up on these things.*”
• Another read Jefferson’s stirring
words: “Wherever any form of gov
ernment becomes destructive of
these ends, it is the right of the
people to alter or abolish it*. . .”
“That,” remarked the man ap
proached by reporter Johnson,
“sounds Russian to me.”
A housewife didn’t like the amend
ment to the constitution guarantee
ing a free press and free speech.
“That part ought to be narrowed
down,” she said. “There’s too much
talk going on.” She refused to sign.
Maybe Senator Joe McCarthy,
who has circulated thousands of
copies of his speeches through the
mails at the taxpayers’ expense,
should circulate free copies of the
Declaration of Independence in
stead. It might counteract some of
^the fear he has instilled in peoples’
minds.
Crime Probe Stymied
Senator Carl Hayden of Arizona,
one of the most conscientious and
respected members of the senate
has taken a straqge stand regard
ing the crime committee. It puzzles
his colleagues in the senate.
As chairman of the powerful sen
ate rules committee, Hayden has
flatly refused to authorize more
money to be spent on the crime
probe. This has caused the crime
committee, now chairmanned by
conscientious Herbert O’Connor oi
Maryland, to withdraw its investi
gators from New York and other
areas. It also means that the com
mittee will have to wind up its
work around September.
Washington Pipeline
Senate crime investigators have
reported undercover links between
the big-time gambler, William John
ston, and the Jackson Construction
Company, Jacksonville, Fla. John
ston donated $100,000 to Gov. Fuller
Warren’s campaign, and now the
Jackson Construction Company has
received $180,000 worth of state con
tracts. ... Internal revenue depart
ment is reported to be probing the
income taxes of Governor Fuller
Warren.
