Member, Associated Press Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY A LOT of people around here have the idea that Senator Wayne Morse of Oregon could do the country a tremendous service in this period of obvious con fusion in the public (including ' congressional and presidential) mind over the critical labor situation. They think Senator Morse, former member of the war labor board who has made an 1 almost unprecedented splash as neophyte member of : the senate, could provide leader ship in the direction of fair and constructive determina tion of the issues in this situa- EPLEY tion. They hear that in Washington itself there is a disposition to look to Morse for this very thing. !' When Wayne Morse entered the republican primary in 1944, it was quite widely expected that the end of the war would open a period of labor-management' disputes and chaos in the nation's production field exactly what has hap pened. Many people supported Mr. Morse at 'that time because they believed he was peculiar ly equipped to provide leadership in just such a situation. He had long experience in the settle went of labor disputes, he enjoyed the respect of important elements in both labor apd industry, and he conveyed an impression of balance and fair-mindedness- that would be needed in a just solution of the problems which were then potential but have now become real. ':" BJor these reasons, many eyes are now on Senator Morse, who has been prominent in the papers recently with an attack on Senator Taft In which he denounced "reactionary republi cans," and with an interview in which he sug gested presidential appointment of a federal arbitrator to settle reconversion wage disputes through voluntary arbitrations as a stop-gap pending labor legislation in congress. ;i W believe most of the people in his state would like to see Senator Morse espouse a program that recognizes fundamental rights of both labor and management, that demands equal responsibility from both sides, and that makes any action which stops production (as well as paychecks and profits) a last-ditch extreme re sorted to only when all other methods have failed to gain a just end. If there is legislation, they want it to be neither pro-labor nor pro management legislation. , ' News Behind The News W Al TTT U . T T rtT i -i CHICAGO, Jan. 10 The low spirits of the country, which are plainly evident to a traveler, but not to Washington (see column jf yesterday) are due to deterioration of goods nd services to the public in . every phase of living, not. merely railroad transportation, in which phase crack trains run up to eight hours Or more late daily as a matter of new custom, and some have been known to leave their point of origin as much as 12 hours late, during which time citizens must live on station benches. A pleasant Washington news stir was created by the relaxation of rationing on foods and now on tires. When you rend the news in the papers, it sounded stimulating. But the average man who goes to get a steak, a tire or a pound of butter will find the relaxation of rationing was an empty gesture. You cannot obtain these simplest re quirements for daily living any more than you can get adequate public transportation in train, busses or street cars. This, as I reported yesterday from this 10 day trip is the cause of the evident decline in President Truman's popularity not the issues of his battle with congress, not his foreign policy, not even directly, the strikes monopoliz ing the front pages. This unreported condition of the demoralized absence of vaunted American efficiency is con trolling every walk of life affecting the public indeed has caused a rather broad disregard of the public interest and generated mass undercurrents of resentment and polltii.il dis satisfaction. Public Less Served TEN months after the end in Europe and I four months after General MacArthur land ed in Tokyo, public wants seem less served in many features than at any time during the war. You see lines of trudging weary house wives half a block long outside stores. Those I saw were seeking either nylons or butter. The cues outside movies sometimes extended . a city block; and I have seen people sitting on the floor for hours in aisles of movie theatres, Inadequate and deficient housing troubles mil lions. Go into a restaurant, and you may find a long bill of fare, much longer than during the war. But inquiry customarily develops that half or more of the items are all out. It has become the custom for weary people to say: "Just bring me whatever you have." Bribery will get you many things, not on the counters; and a degrading bootlegging of all short items is common. Taxicabs are over loaded with people and actually refused service while empty on the streets, but rates are higher for less service. Few people can get a hotel room anywhere in the central states, without waiting in the lobbies a few hours. A great bulk of orders for Christmas presents could not be filled "until January," if at all. These conditions are said to be due to short ages of equipment, materials, food and help but not always, I have found. The New Year's Eve parties in hotels in a certain city were called off, for example, because the waiters protested against the hotels selling tickets as a cover charge without giving them a tip on the tickets in addition to tips on the price of meals. . Demoralized Civilization SHORTAGES have simply encouraged the wholesale disregard of the public interest, of service to the public, and both managers and workers have taken advantage of this condition to a national extent. A completely demoralized civilization has taken thorough hold on us. These are the things people are talking about, not unemployment compensation, the full em ployment spending proposal, fair employment practises or the issues which agitate the poli ticos and the high-pressure groups. Of two other things, the public speaks to itself: (A) Of getting that boy home from the armed services, and (B) Of why there is no general feeling of peace after the victory. On these ; and piost jt the other Issues of the day, discussed by commentators, including myself, there is a considerable amount of public bewilderment. To me question (B) answers question (A). How can you expect to gef the boys home, if there is no assured feeling of peace? But the public does not reason that way. Neither does the soldier. They both see so much inefficiency around them, so much government waste and SIDE GLANCES "Don't blame the high prices on me, ma'nm I'rri Just working at this job to help my mother pay her bills." unreasonableness, that they at tribute everything to those causes. I found myself defending Mr. Truman eventually to practical ly all the couple of hundred Deople with whom I talked, found few had anything specific in their minds against him. No one was bitter about him, as many were with Mr. Roosevelt.-) Most thought him a fine fellow personally. But they were convinced someone would have 'to lay a heavy hand upon their troubles to cure' them, and they doubted the heaviness of his hand. I told them the general dis regard of public interests would be cured as soon as competition was restored in goods and serv ices. But they asked me: Why not release the men from the services, then? Why not protect us against this kick ing around? wny let striKes go on when there are short ages? I knew my replies were unsatisfactory, because I could only say I thought the strikes were the mistakes of poor labor leadership, mostly needless, and merely a manifestation of labor s inability to handle its new re sponsibilities to the people in an orderly way. Truman, I said, inherited these things, did not originate them. In Washington, I deal in gen eralities, like the politicos do. Just Arrivad mmm POLL PARROT Children's Shoes MOE'S SHOE DEPT. This is what's behind those CHEVRON SIGNS Lots of folks are curious about the new Chevron Gas Stations. So here are ; answers to the questions you've been asking the story of how Standard of California is helping us establish our identity as independent merchants I find Washington generalities today are so far away from the existing, living conditions of the country, as to be almost absurd, and people .do not con cern themselves much with these. If my report yesterday and today seems unstercotyped or loose, so are the minds of the buffeted people to whom little has been adequately ex plained. This is "the state of the union" as I found it.

Mia No, Tvtien the Chevron sign goes up over a gas station it doesn't mean that the station has changed hands. The new name, the new paint job are just to establish it as - an independent business. Lots of motorists who like the personal service they get at independent gas stations don't always know they are "home-owned." We're taking this means of making the fact plaia to folks around here. You bet we will continue to handle Standard prod ucts. We want to offer our customers the finest.
