Member, Aaaoclated PreH Member Audit Bureau Circulation Today's Roundup By MALCOLM EPLEY IN hit message to congresi today. President Truman decried "voices of disunity" which he said are heard again in the land and "must not prevail." Because limited space does not permit full text of the president's speech in the news columns, we will lift those passages dealing with disunity, and use them here. They appeared on the last page of his 75-page message: "We have won a great War we, the nations of plain people who hate mar." tin declared. "In the test of that war we found EPLEY strength of unity that brought us through a strength that crushed the power of those who sought by force to deny our faith In the dignity of roan. . .. "During this trial the voices of disunity among us were silent or were subdued to an occasional whine that warned us that they were stiU among us. Those voices are be ginning to cry aloud again. We must learn constantly to turn deaf ears to them. They re Toices which foster fear and suspicion and Intolerance and hate. "They seek to destroy our harmony, our understanding of each other, our American tradition to 'live and let live.' They have become busy again, trying to set race against race, creed against creed, farmer against city dweller, worker against employer, people against their own governments. "They seek only to do us mischief. They must not prevail." Discord Develops At Top THE hope that wartime unity could be car ried over into the periods of transition and peace has Ijeen badly mauled by what has been going on since V-J Day. Domestic discord has risen to dangerous heights and production the greatest need of the time has dropped to dangerous lows. We are auite certain that all of this has been going on In spite of and contrary to the wishes of the vast majority of our people. In this little western town, we have never mentioned in our column the need for toler ance, understanding and harmonious settlement of differences, without receiving many expres sion! of agreement from ordinary people in many walks of life. We believe people general ly feel that way. What seems to have happened is that cen tralization of power has proceeded so far in this country that the wishes of the rank and file of the people are hardly felt in the coun cils where the bitter struggle has been shaping up. Mr. Truman's declaration against, disunity rings the bell with us. We suggest that he look for its source at the top, where, unfortun ately, there is an evident dearth of political statesmen, industrial statesmen, and labor states men. Little People Get Along THE picture, it seems to us, is auite clear. Government, industrial organization, and labor organization, have become highly central- ' ized. That centralization has carried a delega tion of power to establish policies and strategy that are generally followed down through the lesser units to the bottom. Unfortunately, it is in those lesser units that people know better how to get along together. There is a great need for the little people, who know how to get along together and who want to get along together, to make their desires felt. News Behind The News By PAUL MALLON WASHINGTON, Jan. 21 Confidential ' can vassers have found congress in almost total disagreement as to what will be done about strikes and the unions. Twenty of the men, best placed to know, cava 20 differing private predictions. Many said from the first the steel strike would be settled, then autos, then the big others; where upon interest would die, while congress argued without decision until after their election next November. Others did not believe congress could longer buck the problem and expected various union curbing enactments. But Mr. Truman had told his leaders privately he would veto anything which might be called an anti-union law. Surely nothing opposed by the unions could get two-thirds majority necessary to pass over such a veto. The -confused and confusing pre dictions, in the last analysis, therefore, ap peared to add up to just about the same total nothing, or' little-or-nothing. A nice, neat hole in the wall is quite evi dently being dug, through which all may escape, A commentator or two started it with tooth picks, but behind them some congressmen are ready with drills. This is a proposal to cut the Truman fact finding bill down to fact-finding alone. It would be stripped of its powers of subpoena, to which General Motors objects, and the cool-ing-off period of 30 days before strikes, to which the union objects. Just pass a law letting the president appoint commissions to find facts. e Only Trouble THE only trouble about this escape is too many ' people can see the hole. It might be bet ter to go brazenly out the window, or keep arguing interminably in hopes everyone will forget about the whole matter. Such legislation simply proposes what already has been done. Without legislation, Mr. Tru man has established precisely that kind of fact finding. General Motors walked out on it. The steel union planned a strike against it (the fact-finding report was due February 10 and the strike was called for January 14), delaying only fox direct negotiations, which Mr. Truman took into the White House, Deiore his fact-finding commission could report. The question raised by such a permanent fact-finding law is: Would anyone ever show up for the hear ings? To handle the problem that way would be like waving back a windstorm with a feather. If congressional leaders try to push their boys through this hole, there will of course be trouble. The labor committees of both houses are closely controlled by the unions. Nothing can escape them, which is opposed by the unions, or nothing ever has. On the open senate and house floors how ever, their bill would be open to amendment by the attachment of every - possible solution every congressman has proposed. The probr lem of Mr. Trumejn's leaders will then be to prevent any important action, and they are likely to wind up with conflicting bills from the two houses. Certainly anyone looking for solutions from congress must wear long range glasses, and anyone looking toward consideration of the fundamentals of the problem, will have to look hard. The plain fundamentals are these: Developed Strike Technique THE unions have developed their strike tech- I nique to the point where they can tie up the nation any night. A simultaneous strike in telephones, telegraph and radio alone would nearly do it. Add electrical power house workers, and you can see what four unions could do to the country. Add not the big railroads but the teamsters ' who merely handle all freight in the cities, elevator operators and bus drivers, and you have the obliterative possibilities of a general strike from only a few unions. I have mentioned only a few of the strikes which have already been called in this cam paign, but not yet simultaneously. In this campaign, the unions, by rather clever timing of local strikes to keep pressure on the White House (first buses, then telephones with out real issue in either), and by preliminary and bolstering strikes in other cities, have used their new power to get an unprecedented wage increase which will average about 18 per cent, a figure representing just about what they expected to get from their demand for 30 per cent. (Mr. Truman is supposed privately from the first to have favored 20 per cent.) The surprising development, in aftermath, will be that the companies, one by one, were ableito stand up in opposition as well as they did, without help either from government or public. These are the fundamental truths which will survive the weak-kneed, gloss-over con fusions of fact now current as an indispensable part of all labor conflicts.

Jan. 21 M1 For further utilization of the nn tion's power facilities, President Truman recommends the appro priation of about $80,000,000 to three big power aKencics. His budget message, sent to congress today, allocates $19,- 701,000 for the Bonneville power administration and $23,323,000 for Southwestern power admin istration. Passage of the law requiring all government corporations to submit a budget came too late to permit the inclusion of detailed estimates for the Tennessee val ley authority but its cxpendi tures for 1047 arc estimated at $27,000,000 and an appropriation of $36,372,000 Is recommended. Bonneville's revenues from the two Columbia river plants loin lea $zz,vua,io lor tuia dropped to an estimated $18,107, 000 for the current fiscal year and are expected to be about $16,148,000 for 1947, reflecting, the president says, "the adjust ment oi loads from a war to a peacetime basis. The new funds are Intended to build 600 miles of trnnsmis si on lines and 14 substations, giv ing Bonneville, 3600 miles of lines and 82 sub-stations. Multnomah Falls Lodge To Be Opened PORTLAND.

To the Span ish public the Hollywood movies are the reflection of n Utophm way of MacKENZIE life. Ainu lien Is the enchanted land of wonders and plumy. One very noticeable influence of Hollywood li on fomlnlno hair Mi-ess, makeup and fashions, The women of Spain, who aro among the most beautiful in the world, aro copying American fllmdom. American music also is being introduced in this man ner, as well as Amnrlvan danc ing including JltterbuKKlng. However, the thing roaches deeper than that. The folk of Spain arc Intensely Interested In American automobiles, in our modes of travel, In the manic contrivances we have for the kitchen, and in labor saving equipment for our business offi ces. And the Interest Isn't merely academic. The Spanish are ex cellent copyists. They moke adaptations uf many things they see in pictures. U. S. Movies Preferred American movies aro prefer red in Spain. Lust year 133 American pictures were released here and these were 82 per cent of all the films shown in the. country. It s interesllnx to note thut Mexican films released are Increasing. According to avail able records two Mexican pic tures were shown here In 11)44, thirteen last year and the fore cast for this year runs to 50. Spain herself produces an average of 40 pictures a year, Dut me inmistry still has fur to f;o in development, which was tampered by the civil war of 1936-39 and the ensuing World War. However, this country is doing a magnificent lob of sound retracing.

Belter Acquaintance Of course tho exchange of pictures should develop better acquaintance among the various peoples, and this In tha long run should help international relations. Unfortunately, how. aver, some American pictures shown in Europe give a false im pression oi American life and morals. For instance some types of gangster pictures arc wholly un true and misleading. pictures showing wholesale marital Infidelity also create de cidedly bad ideas about Amer ican morals. In short, a lot of highly inv aginative and over sophisticated Pictures wnicn citizens of the itine iii an me us uuer uc tion are accepted aboard as true. This type of picture can do more damage In a year than all tha diplomats can repair in a Ken- eratlon. And the moral of all this is that the selection of pictures In America for foreign consump tion should be most carefully made. Mondar.
