In the Day's News
By FRANK JENKINS
SENATOR Morse w back in
Oregon a lew dayi ago, and
whll in Portland he gave utter
ance t thk Bit of wisdom:
"I am eonvinoed that congress
haa lost Mm eomrnon touch and is
out o( ttp with the thinking of
the nation."
I agree wit him.
CONGRESS, lor example, seems
t have accepted Truman's
election lat fall aa a mandate to
spend money with both hands,
going as much farther into debt
as may be necessary to provide
the iabuious sums called for by
the spenders.
I doubt it. The people I run into
seem to be WORRIED by the fact
that the federal government is up
to it ears in debt. I'm quite sure
they'd feel better about every
thing if we started getting out of
debt Instead of going deeper in.
People as a whole are nobody's
fools. They know that if you
spend teo much new you'll be
pinched later. They knew ,that
what is borrowed has to be paid
back. They know that paying off
debt l a hard and grmding job.
But you get no inkling of that

The electrical workers . have

Conviction Of
Two Screen
Writers OKd
Appeals Court Upholds
Right Of Congress On
Communist Question
WASHINGTON, June 13. (rt)
The U.. S. Circuit Court of Ap
peals ruled today that a con
gressional . committee has the
right to demand that a witness
say whether or not he is Com
munist. The decision upheld contempt
convictions of screen writers
John Howard Lawson and Dalton
Trumbo.
For Lawson and Trumbo, the
ruling moved them one step
closer toward actually serving
one-year Jail sentences. The sen
tences, plus $1,000 fines, were
meted out in U. S. District Court
because they refused to tell the
House Un-American Activities
Committee last year whether or
not they are Communists.
All Lawson and Trumbo,' now
free on bond, can do is appeal
to the Supreme Court. They are
certain to do that.
Eight other movie figures are
in the same boat with them.
Their trials have been delayed
by agreement pending outcome of
the Lawson-Trumbo appeal.
The uninmous decision of the
three judges Bennett Champ
Clerk, Wilbur K M.lllcr and
George C. Sweeney said thai
considering the times, and the
influence movies play in Ameri
can life, it is hard to imagine
"any more pertinent question"
than the one about Communist
