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

all important Issues. 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.

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.

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."

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.
