Letter From Netherlands Provides
Grim Picture of Hardships Facing
Victor and Vanquished in Europe
By Louis F. K.eml.
United Press Staff Correspondent
A picture of life in liberated Europe this winter Is not pleasant
for Americans to contemplate. The victors are suffering along with
the vanquished.
The prospect of famine, disease, and death from lack of heat In
large sections of the continent has been fully reported, both offici
ally and by newspaper correspondents.
LETTER GIVES ELOQUENT INSIGHT ON HARDSHIPS
Sometimes a personal letter, written from the heart and not
for publication, gives a better understanding of the reaction of the
war sufferers than official reports. Such a letter is at hand, re
ceived by Ethel Burtlctt and Rae Robertson, the English concert
pianists now in this country, from a pair of friends in Holland.
Conditions In the Netherlands are not so bad as in some sec
tions of central and eastern Europe, but the letter speaks eloquently
of the hardships endured even in that western country, so much
closer to outside sources of supply than the transportation's
regions of the interior. At the
hope and confidence in the future. Its author is Mrs. John tJeek,
writing on behalf of herself and her husband, a prominent figure in
the musical life of Holland. Extracts, quoted by permission, follow:
"It seems almost Impossible
were liberated. We are still alive, although you d hardly recognize
us, so thin we've grown, and so much older from worry and lack
of food. Johnny is simply a skeleton.
PARADISE COMPARED TO LIFE UNDER NAZIS
"There Is food now; but not enough. There is no gas to cook
with, no telephone and no means of transportation. But It is a
paradise compared to the time the Nazis were hero.
"Our poor country has suffered all sorts of blows. First, the
oppression, the bullying, plundering, mass enslavery and deporta
tion; the battlefields, bombardments, Inundations and last but not
least the uiniine, from which thousands and thousands died in the
western provinces,
"Those last months we had
little less than a pound) and one
whole week. Sometimes Johnny left at daybreak and walked all
day In the cold and rain to come home at night with some kilos
of sugar roots. Sugar roots and tulip bulbs were our main food.
Many of us lived on them the whole winter through.
STILL WEAR CLOTHING FROM
"Our shops are empty and closed. There is not a thing to be
had no clothes, no shoes. We still
"We will be grateful for anything you can send us. It seems
so beggarish, but you can never realize what our country has come
to when you contrast It with the rich little country it was only five
years ago.
"We are most In need of clothing, shoes and stockings. I could
make excellent use of a length of material for a dress, or a ready
made one, even an old dress of yours from which I could make a
blouse or a short frock. We desperately need any underwear you
can spare. . . .
"Now the darkest hours are past and our country is full of good
spirits. It has been, the whole five years through, full of confi
dence In the victory of our allies, trying to Ignore the Nazis and
hoping, waiting, waiting. Now the tables are turned. Our patience
has been, rewarded and we are free, free, freel But if life is to con
tinue, we must have help."

It took a small town, Cale
donia, N. 'Y., to form the first
Gold Star Fathers group. Why
wasn't this done before? The
father of a hero deserves as
much credit as the boy's mother.
He suffers as much because of
the loss of the lad. I do not wish
in any way to deprecate the In
fluence of a mother on a boy's
life but have always thought
fathers have been shoved too
far Into the background. In fact
our bitter campaign No. 349D
was launched In the Interests of
a better break for fathers.

His first hit was "Old Fashioned

Raymond Hitchcock. "Night and

handled by Ethel Merman.. In
recent years Cole has experi
enced considerable suffering due
to the leg Injury suffered In a
fall from a horse. So far this in
Jury has necessitated 33 opera

songs. . . . Eddie Bracken. Bril

Ernest Truex starred in It.

am Informed by a New Yorker
that he has Invented a "hat grip"
for women which is now on sale
at many department stores.

interesting reading In the years

your wife save the letters you

them over lately? How about
the salutation? I mean, did you
go ail out with something like

News Behind
The News
By Paul MaJlon
Washington, Dec. 20 Things
are not what they seem on labor
legislation. The Truman ' fact-!
la for strike;
settlements has
been thrown
over by con
gress until aft
er the holidays
as the unions
wanted, al
though he in
sisted on get-1
ting it before
Christmas. The
house beat
tianon (200 to 182) a
bill to make unions stop political
contributions and live up to con
tracts without strikes during
contracted periods.
e
THESE developments have
greatly cheered the union
politicos and created a public1
impression that they are apt to
continue in command of the leg
islative situation. This Is sim
ply not true. The house salved
Its conscience In an extremely
minor manner by passing the
Hobhs bill applying the anti
racketeering laws to unions as
well as other people. This salve
was thin because the house has
passed the same bill several
times In previous sessions.
Always heretofore the meas
ure has died In the senate, where
tho union politicians have less
numerical strength than in the
house, but are aided by the
loose senate rules in preventing
action on nearly onything they
want to block anyway. The
Hobbs bill affects only one
union, the teamsters, who have
operated embargoes on truck
shipping.
OUT there was a deep and
compensating trick about
the defeat of the other bill the
anti-politics and contract-breaking
measure. Leaders for the
measure committed a gross
blunder In even pressing it to
a vote.
The house is swayed by his
toric courtesies which Jealously
protect the activities of its vari
ous committees.
This bill happened to come
out of the military affairs com
mittee, which had no real right
to handle labor legislation in
peacetime, and was pressed to
a vote on the very day the lobor
committee was taking up the
same question In connection
with the Truman fact-finding
proposal. It was an affront to
the labor committee. This point
alone swayed or excused enough
votes to furnish the 18-vote ma
jority for defeat of the measure.
The v;ry same proposals
which were defeated in that
measure are confidentially ex
pected by most house leaders
to be adopted in the Truman
bill when it comes up in Jan-,
uary. Canvasses show house
members are more aroused on
the question of union political
activity than on the Truman
anti-strike pr o p o s 1 1 1 o n. The
strike would not directly affect
their re-election next year. But
C. I. O.-P. A. C. threatens to.
LAST year congress passed a
law preventing unions from
making political contributions
to campaigns. But the Justice
department misinterpreted it the
way Mr. Roosevelt desired at
that time, and arranged legal
escapes which permitted C. I. O
P. A. C. to operate effectively
in politics. For these reasons
legislation to hinder C. I. O.
P. A. C. further Is considered
CENTRAL ST.
C. I. Myers
:Y-
. . j
to be almost certainly a part of
the coming fact-finding bill.
The measure also is likely to
Include some restraint on strikes
in violation of . contracts. Other
sieps to establish union respon
sibility are possible. It may even
include some restraints upon the
organization of foremen, as the
congressmen are visibly aroused
over the unionization of plant
managers.
It will certainly not go as
far as the open shop, but 'may
put legal restraints on violence
and coercion. A proposal for
compulsory arbitration on
strikes In public utilities will be
considered, but Is not likely lo
be adopted because both man
agement and labor are against
it. It will also, of course, con
tain the fact-finding and cooling
off plan of Mr. Truman, imple
mented perhaps stronger than he
wished.
It Is not likely to include
the broad basic suggestions that
the unions sue and be sued, pr
be made subject to the anti-trust
laws, or that union finances be
suamitted to Income taxation
(these recommendations have
strong support, but not yet ap
parently a majority).
THESE prospects can be rather
definitely stated as far as the
house is concerned. But what
will happen later in the senate
is not so certain. Issues can be
forced to a vote in the house
as I said, but death by circum
vention and aelay is a peculiar
and effecti"e senate technique.
You will have to wait until
you see the final form of the
house bill before any worth
while guess can be made as to
the final form of the coming
labor legislation.
The C. I. O.'s full employment
bill, backed by Mr. Truman, has
been watered down by the house
to the point where it means
nothing. The president can al
ready do everything proposed
ev?i in the original senate bill.

OAKDALE GROCERY
11th and Oakdale
Letter From Washington
By HARRIS ELLSWORTH
Membax ot Congress From Oregon
THE INTERNAL STRIFE on
the majority side of the House
concerning labor legislation has
caused considerable confusion
Members on the democratic side
of the aisle seem to be divided
into three general groups, with
vocal and able advocates in
each. One group wants no labor
legislation at all, or legislation
favorable to labor organizations.
Another group wants to crack
down on labor and restrict
unions. A third, and by far the
largest number of democratic
members, seems to feel that leg
islation in line with the recent
suggestion made by the pres
ident is desirable. Since the de
mocrats control the House, and
therefore determine what legis
lation shall be brought to the
floor, and when, the republicans
must sit and take what comes.
During the last several days,
the House has been forced to
vote on at least one proposition
that many of us felt should not
have been brought to the floor
at this time. I refer to the bill
reported out by the Military Af
fairs committee some weeks ago,
and before the president out
lined his views. This bill con
tains four provisions: (1) It
would repeal the War Labor
Disputes act, otherwise known
as the Smith-Connally bill. "(2)
It would prohibit labor organiza
tions from making contributions
for political campaigns. (3) It
would deprive for one year the
collective bargaining rights of
any labor organization which
violated a no-strike provision in
its contract. (4) It would make
it possible for any labor or
ganization to be sued in any fed
eral district court in which any
of its officers may reside.
If this bill had been the only
bill pending, it would have been
naturally in order for it to be
taken up on the floor. How
ever, another bill embodying the
! president's suggestions Is about
ready for presentation to the
House. The anti-labor faction
on the majority side insisted on
putting all the rest of the mem
bers on the spot by attempting
to have the May-Arends bill
(provisions outlined above) con
sidered immediately. On a roll
call vote, the motion to bring
the so-called May-Arends bill be
fore the House was defeated. I
think it safe to predict that some
sort of labor bill will be passed
by the House within the next
few weeks, but I do not think
such a, bill will contain the pro
visions of the Arends amend
ments listed in the second para
graph above.
e .
THE HOUSE AGAIN passed
the antl-racketeerlng bill known
as the Hobbs bill. This bill was
passed by the House two years
ago, but has never been acted
upon by the Senate. The bill
was fought by some members
who claimed it to be restrictive
of the rights of labor. I fail to
see how it could be so construed.
Here's what the bill provides:
"Sec. 2. Whoever in any
way or degree obstructs, de
lays, or affects commerce, or
the movement of any article
or commodity in commorce,
BY ROBBERY OR EXTOR
TION, shall ba guilty of a
felony."
e e
NEITHER OF THE two very
controversial proposals, univer
sal military training and the
unification of the armed forces,
which have been so widely dis
cussed lately, will be taken up
before Christmas. If passed at
all, neither bill will be enacted
as originally proposed.
e
FOR THE PAST two months,
I have been working with the
Department of Agriculture, try
ing to get a fair share of the
nation's protein meal supply for
Oregon. Poultry and livestock
producers will suffer heavy
losses if some relief is not ob
tained very soon.
When wartime restrictions
were removed, protein meal pro
cessors dropped their Oregon
accounts and shifted their pro
duction to affiliate feed mixing
plants. Whereas requirements
for Oregon run above 3,000 tons
per month, dealers have had
trouble contracting for even a
UHKI5IMAS
PLANTS
ALSO
small fraction of that quantity
for the next 10 months.
Early this month, I urged the
Secretary of Agriculture to is
sue a set-aside order or conser
vation regulation that would in
sure Oregon a fair share of the
available supply. I Have been
informed that, unless the proces
sors voluntarily remedy the
shortage in Oregon, such an
order will be put into effect.
