THAT I don't know. It is a question that will have to be answered by the courts. But Law or no law Constitution or no constitu tion HE SEIZED THEM. JET'S look at a parallel case: This bold bruiser Batista had no clear authority under the law or the constitution to seize the presidency of CUBA. But he seized it. ' Law or no law, constitution or no constitution, HE'S IT! OUR government now holds the railroads ' and it holds the steel industry. Already we've taken a long step toward social ism. Suppose we submitted to a referendum vote this question: "Shall We or Shall We not Have Socialism in the United States?" The vote, in such case, would be about 10 to one AGAINST. But, taking it a step at a time, we can GET USED TO THE IDEA OF SOCIALISM. We don't want it, but if it is fed to us per sistently in small doses we can come in time to tolerate it. Alexander Pope, in his Essay on Man, tells us truly: "Vice is a monster of so fright ful mien "As to be hated needs but to be seen; I "Yet, seen too fot, familiar with her face, "We first endure, then pity, then EMBRACE." It can be that way with social ism. LET'S look at the subject of steel profits. Our President says they're scandalously big. Steel spokesmen admit profits of about 19 billion dollars but, they say, of the 19 billions about 12 billions GO TO THE GOV ERNMENT IN TAXES. Announcing Intermediate SQUARE DANCE REPERTORY PROFESSIONAL THEATRE At The LITHIA THEATRE ASHLAND Phon 2-8031 Starrinf Suzanne Hanson and Clara Daniels at Pruitt's and at Purucker's Working Girls Introduce Sonnet To Describe Plight , HOLLYWOOD (U.R) White Collar Girls, U.S.A., an organiza tion started by secretaries in Hollywood radio, television and advertising offices, protest the high taxes are keeping them ouf of the Easter parade. The secretaries sent a huge Easter card to Rep. Robert L. Doughton, chairman of the House Ways and Mean' committee, say ing that they won't be able to walk in filmland's Easter parade this year because they can't af ford new spring clothes. Song Included The girls included a song, set to the music of "The Easter Pa rade," that went like this: There should be a sonnet About the faded bonnet With last year's bow upon it Of the poor working girl. Her suit she got in forty If the government squeezes the profits out of the steel industry, it will lose the 12 billions in tax money it now collects from pri vate steel makers. That raises this question: If the government loses the 12 billions it now gets from steel, where will it bo to opt th money? You know where it will go. it wil,l, UU TO THE REST OF US. We'll have to pay more taxes to make up the loss. TF YOU have doubts on that 1 point, take a look at Oregon, where the government owns about half of our total land area. If we could TAX ALL THAT PROPERTY we'd be sitting pretty. NOTHER question: Who owns the steel Industry- perhaps we'd better say who did own the steel industry before tne government seized it? In the case of steel, I do not have the figures before me. So let's take the telephone which also is struck and which might be seized. The American Tele phone and Telegraph Company now has more than a MILLION stockholders, which is far more than the total number of its em ployees. I imagine the same situation exists In the case of steel. ipHAT is to say: In seizing the steel industry In order to make good the de mands of the steel workers for more pay, President Truman fa vored one class of citizens against another class of citi zens and he did It by EDICT and not by law. Why? I presume it was because he thought the crowd he favored has more voting power than the crowd he hurt. That is the PO LITICAL way of settling such things. Personally, I think he figured it out wrong and hurt more people than he helped. Anyway, that's a bad theory on which to run a country like this. QO FAR, this piece has been highly critical of President Truman. But the fault isn't all his. Congress shares thetjlame for the trouble started with the stabilization law that was ' en acted by Congress. It was a JOKE. Everybody knew It was a joke. It was fuller of holes than a good Swiss cheese. It was enacted Just ahead of an election campaign and the underlying reason for its enact ment was to enable everybody to go home and tell the voters that "we passed a stabilization law and now everybody Is pro tected against inflation." What happened was exactly what always happens when half baked laws are thrown together for purely political purposes. Prices went up and wages went up and nobody did anything about it. There wasn't much any body could do about it under the law that had been passed. Things went from bad to worse, and eventually the situa tion reached a crisis in the steel strike. fJHE point? This Is It: If we are to have the kind of government we want, we must have TOP MEN IN CONGRESS as well as a top man for Presi dent.

Around Hollywood Hollywood (U.R) Filmland's famous scandal-makers would stay out of trouble, a top private detective .said Satur day, if the entertain ment world would hire him to police S them. al D D..J!. ,1 sky, a w e 1 1- Knuwn ex-iww York cop, pro poses that the Aline Mosby movie, televis ion and radUv industries have him keep an eye on their gay em ployees after working hours. When he'd . catch an actor In volved in liquor, wild parties or dope, he'd tattle to the star's studio. Then it would be up to the studio bosses to tell the thes pian to behave or get fired. "Hollywood needs to do this because of its public ' relations with the movie-going public," says Barney, who wears horn rimmed glasses and talks right out of a Sam Spade tale. Few Get Into Trouble "A lot of people in small towns won't go to movies be cause they think there's nothing but vulgarity out here. Actually only five per cent of the town gets into trouble, and that should be cleaned up. "The studios could set up some sort of a detective bureau Her shoes no more are sporty Her dresses all are shorties That's the poor working girl. She has rent to pay food to buy Her taxes are so darn high When she gets her check, it's such a wreck She can't make ends meet It's a feat she can't beat. So let's enlist the nation j To get some legislation To elevate the station Of the poor working girl. Group officials said the object of the protest was to gain favor abte action on a proposed bill to raise the personal income tax ex emption from $600 to $1,000.

The privnfe eye thinks that many a movie incident, "such as the Robert Mitchum, Barbara Payton or Ann Sterling cases,!' could have been prevented if he could have tipped off their bosses. Could Do Other Things "The detective bureau could do other things, too. Stars and executives pay a fortune every year to shakedown and black mail artists. Those could be cleared up, and dope rings watched. , "And every time a girl gets tn trouble she says she's a star let.. We could check, and if she wasn't in pictures, ask the pa pers not to use the movie con nection." Barney already knows the night life of the gods of the show business.
