T NEWS-REVIEW, ROSEBURG, OREGON MONDAY, NOVEMBER I, 1948 THIRTEEN Possible Democratic Senate Poses Threat to Dewey's 'Unity' Plan By PETER EDSON NEA Washington Correspondent WASHINGTON GOP candidate Thomas E. Dewey's principal appeal to the voters thus far is that he should be elected president so as to give the country "unity." He wants this unity particularly to back up his conduct of foreign affairs and hit drive for peace, which he says is the biggest domestic issue. A lot more unitv around Wash ington would be a welcome change. President Truman's cam paign against Congress and vice versa indicates how little love has been wasted between the legisla tive and executive branches of the government. And the Democratic Party itself couldn't possibly be more hopelessly split, what with Henry Wallace and Gov. Strom Thurmond going off on tangents. To give Dewey a chance to get his unity, however, it will be necessary to give the P.epublicans good working majorities in both Houses of Congress. Moreover, these majorities must be sympa thetic to the Dewey program on Don't let 'em throw dust in your eyes THIS TIME! Vote 310 X YES Old Age Pension Act Give the old folks a break.

But to elect senators and congressmen who will work with Dewev is- going to require some awfully straight thinking on the part of voters in a number oi states. Could Prevent 'Unity' Greatest threat 1o Dewey get ting his unity could come through election of a Democratic majority to the Senate. This is no remote possibility. Present Senate divi sion is 51 Republicans to 45 Demo crats. This gives the GOP a work ing majority of six. Up for election to the Senate this year are 18 Republicans and 15 Democratic scats. Election of 19 or more Democrats and 14 or fewer Republicans would give the Democrats a majority. Should that happen, the Democrats would be able to elect the chairmen and have a majority of Democrats on all Senate committees. That would hamstring Dewey's unity pro gram even before It got started. Eleven of the Democrats run ning for the Senate this year are from the South and are sure to be elected. Only a few of them have ever been considered sympathetic to a liberal program such as it is believed Dewey will finally pre sent. They are Sparkman of Ala bama, Lyndon Johnson of Texas, Kefauver of Tennessee. The four Northern and Western Democrats seeking Senate seals and with known, fair to good lib eral records are Green of Rhode Island, Murray of Montana, John son of Colorado and Clinton An derson of New Mexico. At least eight of the Republi cans running for Senate seats may be said to have strong isola tionist and ultra-conservative leanings which might bring them Into disagreeing with the Dewey program and disrupting unity. Governor Dewey in his barn storming about the country has nevertheless given most of them his blessing. Thev are Brooks of Illinois. Buck of Delaware. Dwor shak of Idaho, Rlzley of Okla homa, Revereomb of West Vir ginia, Robertson of Wyoming, Wherry of Nebraska, Wilson of Iowa. House Race Now Close Another eiuht of the Republi can Senate candidates have good records on suDport of the bipar tisan foreign policy and interna tional co-ODeratioii. They are Bridges of New Hampshire. Ball of Minnesota, Mundt of South Da kota, Cooper of Kentucky, Cordon of Oregon, Ferguson of Michigan. Saltonstall of Massachusetts, and Margaret Chase Smith of Maine. Thev would probably fit Into the Dewey unity program wimum cm- barrassmer:t. If the idea of giving Dewey com plete unitv is carried through con sistently to the House election, the defeat of certain Republican con gressmen who have shown strong opposition to the bipartisan for eign policy might also be indi cated. The race In the House Isnt so close. At the end of the last Con-uri-ss. the ReDUblicans held 245 the Democrats 185. two American I-abor and three vacan cies. The Republicans could there fore lose up to 30 seals and still retain control of the House, put ting their chairmen and majori ties In all committees. Few dope sters give the Democrats mucn chance of winning the House. Churches Spread Socialism, Charge PHILADELPHIA. Nov. l.-t&i The Rev. Carl Mclntire savs five major Protestant Churches spread "socialist principles" In Sunday school literature. Mr. Mclntire told 100 delegates to the American Council of Chris tian Churches here that socialist theories are published in litera ture of the Presbyterian Church in the United States, the North ern Baptist Convention, Metho dist Church, Congregational Christian Church and the Protes tant Episcopal Church. Mr. Mclntire, president of the International Council of Christian Churches and pastor of the Bible Presbyterian Church at Colling. wood, IN. J., cnarged Methodist Bishop G. Bromley Oxnam of New York has advocated "crea tion of a new economic order which will be socialism." "When such prominent Chris tian leaders declare the mission of the church to be the establish ment of socialism," Mr. Mclntire said, "It is, of course, naturally identified as Christianity in the minds of the listening public."

UP) The Belgrade newspaper Politika ex plained the American presidential election to Yugoslavs today, as follows: "The only difference between candidates of the Republican and Democratic parties is that one group of monopolists and Wall Street bankers is putting forth Dewey, and anoiner group is put. ting forth Truman." Politika's editorial, broadcast from Belgrade and recorded in London, said President Truman is the candidate of "the mighty Morgan Mouse," wnile Ciov. Dewey Is running for the Chase National bank.

This estimate was given by the socialist newspaper lelegraf. which said the non-Communist world greeted with relief the end of the U. S. election campaigns because the Russians had used this period to try to capitalize on what appeared to be differences of opinion In America. DON'T MAKE A MOVE til you see FLEGEL Transfer and Storage Phone 935 COLUMBIA RIVER jjl 7J But not as ridiculous as it sounds, Mrs. Housewife. Remember back in the '30's when you could feed your family well for about $35.00 a month? If some one had said then that in 1948 you could only feed your family skimpily at $90.00 a month you would have exclaimed "Ridiculous!" S- But here are today's prices and your food expenses and costs are flying high. NOW, HFRE'S A NEW MONOPOLY THAT CAN THRW YOUR FOOD BUDGET A small group The Gillnetter'i Union wants a "closed shop" on the Columbia River salmon catch. They are getting 70 of the total catch now but they want ALLI They'd even take away the 10 that the Indians catch at Celilo but a long-time treaty with the United States government pre vents that. So they an aiming at the "fixed appliances" and your pocketbook by trying to eliminate this gear that only catches 20 of the salmon. But that 20 is the balance that can keep your salmon prices in bounds that prevents a Columbia River "closed shop"; that protects not only the price of salmon but also helps keep your entire meat budget from ballooning out of sight. TELL YOUR HUSBAND THESE FACTS ABOUT THF GILLNETTER'S BILL Sporti fishermen have certainly risen to the bait of this Gillnetter'i Union. The latter claim their measure would "stop the waste of our great natural fish resource which, if allowed to continue would result in the loss of millions of business, employment and tourist dollars and the end of a clean outdoor sport." The facts show as reported by the Oregon Fish Commis lion, June, 1948 that all that happens when you ban fixed gear is that more fish are caught by gillnets. The sportsmen and people of the Stat of Washington fell for this same line of propaganda back in 1935. The same report shows only one definite trend during these eleven years the closed-shop union of gillnetters caught more and more of the Columbia River salmon with no indication of increased salmon runs. So, this bill to eliminate "fixed appliances" is not conserva tion of salmon... but absolute control of the salmon catch. Therefore ask yourselves what might happen to your food costs if a "Columbia River closed shop" should create this dire monopoly. FIGHT THIS FOOD MONOPOLY NOW... YOU CAN PREVENT IT FROM HAPPENING! You housewives have had experience with such control conditions. You know what happens to your household ex penses! Usually you have had to fight AFTER these condi tions exist. But in this case you can fight BEFORE it is formed. It will be much easier to prevent the "closed shop on the Columbia" by voting November 2nd, next Tuesday. 319 NO Protect Your Food Costs Against Monopoly IIMIMMI: The Or9ft Pith Cammltilan mftd flat lfltlorwr hova tha authcritf H rfwftt all lmn flihlnp nw.
