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.

absurd, and people .do not con

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. Our
service and accessories will be just the same, too
Sure, Chevron Gas Stations honor Standard of Califor
nia's National Credit Cards. And they're mighty handy
when you come in for Chevron Gasolines, RPM Motor
Oil and other products and services. Just drop in any time. ,
