Tho Score at Halftizne : ?
U.S. News and World Report this week pict r
tureaThicle Sam in a suit of sackcloth, rubbing
ashes into his old grey head. The world-wide
power struggle is being lost by the U. S-, won
by Russia, hands down, the magazine dolefully
announces and cites some figures on what and -how
-Russia has gained thus far.
In' the past five years, 600,000,000 people in
central Europe and China have come under)
communist control. India, Indo-China, Burma,
Malaya, Indonesia are wobbly. The whole Mos- V
lemlliddle East totters. Tilth column, revolu
tion, assassination, propaganda, purges, and sat
ellite wars are Russia's weapons and the greaU
est ef these is propaganda, the use of ideas. -
Meanwhile, the U. S. is wasting its. substance
on one-track strategy getting armed to the
teeth for an atomic war which may never come;1
never come because Russia is getting what she
wants without even winding up her Red army.
Oh. everything is terrible, terrible . . .
Now if everyone will stop beating his breast
and tearing his garment let us consider the score.
Russia, remember? tried for Greece and failed.
tried ior Turkey, Italy, France, -Berlin, West
Germany in fact, all of Western Europe, and
failed. Russia has lost Yugoslavia. Russia got
' kicked in the teeth on the Japanese peace treaty
deal. Russia's triggermen are backing down in
Korea It even remains to be seen whether the
600,004,000 reluctant subjects are a real gain for
Russia or not; the Soviets aire having indigestion.
Jonah may get out of the belly of the whale, yet.

the fray, but ideas, propoganda. Also, we should
use sabotage, a fifth column of our own, and
pressure for revolt. Such a "counterattack, gear
ed J exploit the weakness of Russia, is begin
ning to be considered of officials in U. S. who
recognize WW III for what it is (the cold war),
but wha are not now in power," U. S. News says.
One such official U. S. News obviously has in
, mind is Thomas E. Dewey. In a speech reprinted
in the magazine, Dewey says the U. S. is not
spending enough for propaganda, and he makes
some suggestions on how to win friends and in
fluence people, mainly "treat others as we would
like to have them treat us," and "champion Asia
for the Asiatics. Dewey recommends-wisdom,
patience, tolerance, for 'differences in race and
creed and politics, mutual love and respect ad
mirable virtues, all. Both he and UTS. News em
phasize Ideas, words; neither says anything about
down-to-earth, practical and expensive eco
nomic aid. ; ;
But whether we like it or not, it was economic
and military aid which held for the West Greece,
Turkey, Berlin, Western Europe; which gained
for the West Yugoslavia. It is American blood
and treasurel w h i c h hold Korea. Uncle Sam
doesn't deserve sackcloth and ashes; he deserves
our pride in and continued support of the poli
cies which have worked pretty well. . So we've
lost a few battles; we haven't lost the war; and
- we're not ready to go into mourning. There are
still battles to be fought. It's only hall time.

One of the best innovations In' celebrating
Hallowe'en is the use of a Maltese cross on homes
where there is illness as a -sign requesting no
disturbance The youngsters on their trick-or-treat
rounds, wearing masks and witch' hats, re
spect the signs. One woman who is bothered a
great deal with arthritis so she cannot answer
the door- without discomfort, . called- to report
that children when they saw the cross at her
window trooped by. So she was greatly appre
ciative of this device. The kiddies found plenty
of houses for. their "holdup" however, and their
bags were well filled with 'candies and cookies.

Labor Strikes Havo Continuing Effect on U. S.
i War Effort, Help Spiral Upward Cost of Living
: Br Hark SmErraa
During the last two weeks of
October the fighting by our farces -i
Korea went on as it had for
a year and four months.. Th
easuahies for one day in - late
October, as given out by the de- -fense
department at Washington,
were 41 killed, 208 wounded, 12
misting In action. For the latest
week reported the overall total .
-was 2.062. For the war, up to
, Oeteber 19, the total was 92,997.
tShese are casualties to the
Aaaecican forces; they do not in
clude some 7,000 casualties to
forces of other countries in the
United Nations.)
During the same closing weeks
of October there was in the Unit
ed States a strike of longshore
men in the shipping industries. .
After it had gone oa for some.
10 days an official statement by
President Trraan brought plain
ly to public attention the rela
tion between this strike and the
war effort of which our forces
in Korea are the presently tctive
part. Mr. Truman, upon informa
tion from Defense Mobilizer Wil
son, said that as a result of the
strike- "the ports of New York
aa Boston hare been virtually
ar tyred . . . oquipment and
.materiel vitally needed) f of na
tional defense b not moving.'
The strike. Mr. Truman said, has
' ; direct nd immediate effect on '
our defense effort." . ,

ed for transportation of war
material to KoreaJ
The effect of strikes which di
rectly interrupt or reduce manu
facture of war material is readily
seen by the people. They may not
so readily see the effect of strikes
which - interrupt transportation,
such as the present one in ship
ping and, for example, the strike
during the early days of the
struggle in Korea , which inter
rupted transportation on four
western railroads. If all the peo
ple saw clearly the effect of such
strikes on our forces in Korea
and on our war effort as a whole,
the aggregate of adverse opinion
would be practically unanimous.
Condemnation 'would be felt by
men in the armed force in Ko
rea, by other men who are being
sent to Europe for possible war
there, by the men subject , to
draft, and by the families of these
axoups. - : .
Besides, the direct effect on the
war effort caused by strikes
which interrupt manufacture or
transportation oa war material,
there is an indirect effect of
strikes generally. Most of them
are for Increase of wages or for
various benefits which amount to
increase of wages.; So far as the
increases are won and take effect
they result in increased cost of
manufacturing, hence lacreaiaof
prices the people must pay for
the goods they buy. The net ef ,
feet is an advance in the upward
spiral of cost ct living ard in
flation. If the inflation that al
ready exists is not cheeked and
if it goes on to an extreme stage.
it would arrive at an economic '
collapse which would be a cer
tain way of losing our struggle
against Russian communism. The
communist heads of Moscow rely
more upon economic collapse in
the United States than upon any
developments in the military
field.
An obvious condition related C
to strikes generally Is the
: power of labor leaders. This Is
not: a universal indictment, H
does not mean that ail labor -leaders
bring about strikes. The
present strike of longshoremen
was not broaght about by the
bead ef the longshoremen's un
ion ' bat by a dissident group '
within the anion. Bat the broad
fact remains that labor leaders ;
and unions have much power. -It
Is shown by the number of
strikes that have taken plaee
since Korea and by the nature
ef some of the strikes. There
have been strikes In fields com-.-
aaosJy reeotnised as peeaharly
affecting the public Interest. An
rramplo daring late October -was
a strike of milk drivers -which
for a day saspended de
livery of mUk to Hew York
easterners. '
. i - ' . '
Protection of the public interest
against exercise of unreasonable
power by labor onions and lead
en is a function of eoverament
which is supposed w stand al
ways for the people as a whole.
It is impossible to forget that
President Truman, in his ' 1948
campaign for re-election, made a
special appeal to labor as a class.
His appeal assumed that labor
unions and leaders were unrea
- sonably restrained by the exist-"
ing labor relations law, the Taft-
Hartley Act."

recall how welcome was the USO
sign near a camp or base. Those
now on military duty havo the
same needs for diversion and a
"home away from home" which
the USO is trying to meet .
Aided also by the chest are
child - caring agencies in the
state which take orphans, chil
dren from broken homes, way
ward youth and provide homes
and guidance for them. Having
been associated i with the state
chest for years I know how im
portant is the service these agen
cies render to all the state, and
how urgent their financial needs
are. Only as people over the state
open their hearts and their purses
and give support to these institu
tions will they be able to do their
job. !
The Salem chest organization
has worked tirelessly for weeks
and months preparing for and
putting on the money - raising
campaign. Virtually all the work
is done by volunteers. Chairman
Ed Majek has put in countless
hours of work! by day and by
night, and his captains and their
teams havo also been diligent in
rounding up dollars. (Every
worker pays for his own lunch
eon too there's no "expense
money' for chest workers).
It is not fair to these loyal,
community - minded persons to
prolong their labors, or to fail
them and the community and the
various agencies dependent on
the chest for support.
I know, that appeals are many;
but this one is a MUST. It is
.directed to those - who haven't
sent in their contribution yet to
the chest and to those who have
n't done their fair? share for the
chest. What is your fair share?
What about the equal of a day's
pay? Beach for your checkbook
and write out ; a check for the
chest; or phone the chest office
and ask for a solicitor to call.
Let's raise the few thousand that
are lacking and make it another
100 per cent year for the chert
and for Salem.
