Today's Roundup
By MALCOLM EPLEY
DESPITE the extent of the supply of build
ing! and materials to be available from
the forthcoming liquidation of the ex-Jap camp
at Tulelake, competition is
evidently developing for this
property.
Three major proposals have
been made for use of tne
buildings in the immediate
area, and it now appears that
there may be demand for cer
tain of the same facilities from
the public housing authority
and others.
The reclamation service
wants some of the Caucasian
apartment buildings and other
structures for project uses.
The Tulelake Growers want buildings in the
old military sector for a permanent labor camp.
H has been proposed that a large number of
the buildings be saved for use of the veterans
who will be establishing 87 new farms in the
Tulelake area later this year.
All of these seem to us to be legitimate- uses
of this property.
We want especially to put in a word for the
unknown veteran entrymen who will go on
homesteads this year.
They will be establishing farms at a time
when building materials and other supplies
are extremely scarce, and the availability of
materials from the Jap camp right next door
will be a godsend to them.
Saving some of the buildings for them seems
(o us a most worthy proposal, and we trust it
will be given full consideration by whatever
government officials get together and make
up decisions on the disposal of the Jap camp
property.
Unfair
NEW problems pop up daily In the municipal
airport situation.
Latest is the question of protection which
the navy wants the city to give it against
damage to government property at the field
in the event of civilian use of the landing
facilities there.
The navy has made- this . one of the terms
under which it will let civilian fliers back on
the field pending execution of an interim
permit.
City officials report they are unable to get
a blanket insurance policy which would protect
the city's interests if the navy insists on the
city assuming this liability.
Individual planes can be Insured, but the
city officials are worried about transient planes
that might become involved in a damaging
Bccident. -
. It is unfair for the navy to insist that the
city be held liable for damage which might
occur from operation of planes not based on
the local field.
.' The city" will have gone far enough if it
sees to it that locally based planes carry lia
.bility insurance, and enforces CAA regulations
1n the use of the field. It can't be responsible
for outside fliers coming in to use the field,
or for unavoidable accidents. 11 ,
i The navy should modify its terms.
News Behind The News'
By PAUL MALLON
WASHINGTON, May 1 Auto Workers
President Walter Reuther put forward "
to his men a complete economic and political
program, disclosing ihe latest turn of leftwing .
labor. His policy message to his union sounded
like Mr. Truman speaking to congress on the
state of his union.
The inner meanings were generally lost be
cause the news accounts naturally centered
Upon what was headlined as Reuther's decision
to purge his industrial army of communists.
This was the first public confirmation of my
column a few days earlier, disclosing several
CIO unions had decided to turn around on the
communist issue (column published April 25.)
How far they all will go, Mr. Reuther did not
say. He advised the union to be "vigilant:"
This suggests merely a watch over the destruct
ionists, although secret action may develop
stronger initiative.
Can't Be Done
HIS economic and political program ran
along these following curliqucs:
(1) The auto workers are against inflation
because the higher prices nullify the advant
ages of wane increases.
(2) The higher price for aulos. following the
auto workers wage increases was not justified.
(3) The union now demands a 30 hour week
with exactly the same pay as now being re
ceived for "the 40 hour week. It further de
mands long paid vacations and benefits from
the company for sickness, accidents, pensions
again, I suppose, without a price increase,
although he does not mention that in the
abstract I saw.
Here it is then: No inflation. Another IS
per cent wage increase at termination of the
existing one year contract. Added costs for
benefits. And no price increase! It cannot
be done. An economic Houdini could not do
it next time any more than Reuther could do
it last time.
The income of a company is derived from
the-prices it receives from its products. If
its costs go up, as a general proposition, its
prices must go up. If its costs and prices
continuously go up from year to year this is
inflation. If its costs go up and its prices do
not, it is no longer a profitable operation and
it goes into bankruptcy. If such processes are
carried out on a national scale, the nation then
faces the restricted alternatives of inflation or
bankruptcy, which means really a single cer
tain end in bankruptcy because inflation de
stroys all values and inevitably ends in com
plete bankruptcy a bankruptcy of wages as
well as profits.
No Real Change
FOR these reasons, the advertised turnaround
of leftwing labor caused little or no com
ment here. It represented no real change.
It was wrapped only with new words and
phrases.
The Reuther political program for the nation
told how he wants a third party, a labor
party. He said "We stand for independent
political action . . . formation of a broad new
progressive party."
National CIO management (and AFL which
has no political action committee) has just
recently appropriated millions of dollars to
' organize in southern states. The announced
purpose is to organize unions, but an indis
pensible corollary of CIOPAC is to organize
politics. This sounds like political inflation.
Political action in the south contemplates weak
ening of the democratic party which has its
stronghold there. Election of labor democrats
would be sought. If the movement is success
ful, the democratic party would fall to labor.
Similar action is underway in the republican
party, and this, if successful, must likewise
lead to its capture. Thus success contemplates
a one party system, the labor party, through
nullification of existing parties, or control of
both. I do not think Reuther has thought this
out well.
Labor Lags
TO call it political inflation Is in no degree
inaccurate, because of similarity in methods
and effects, with the bankruptcy of democracy
as the only possible end from a complete ful
fillment of the movement.
The people of this country are changing
their minds about many things, ' but in this
general change labor leadership seems lagging
behind. It is giving, a little. It is yielding to
public pressures considerably on the surface,
but not enough to establish a sound or popular
new doctrine.
Politicos high among the democrats and
republicans interpret all this as a weakening
in the economic and political power of CIOPAC.
A great majority of congress quite obviously
is of the opinion that such tactics will not
defeat them in November. Their votes show it.

BERLIN, May 1 P Army
wives who have arrived here to
join their husbands in the Amer
ican occupation forces will find
life in Germany easier in many
ways than it was in their home
land. Their renting problem Is
simple. There are no frantic
dickerings with real estate
agents, no bonus payments to
tenants relinquishing apart
ments. Uncle Sam will just toss some
family out of its home, and the
American family will move into
a clean, neat, well-furnished
domicile. The German will
have to start combing the ruins
for living quarters.
For this reason the Teutonic
population views with consider
able misgivings the advent of
American wives.
Th Worm Turns
"We will never be masters of
our own homes again in our life
time," said one hausfrau, en
visioning a 10 to 20 year oc
cupation. There will be no standing In
long lines at the butcher's for the
American wife seeking a steak
for her lieutenant She wiUail
at the army commissary and buy
any food available at prices that
would seem ridiculously low in
the United States. The range of
lood is very wide and Includes
a considerable supply of that
nourishing material called beef
and spelled B-E-E-F. Remember?
There will be no lack of those
little accessories that gladden
the feminine heart. Things like
nail polish, rouge, lipsticks,
cleansing cream and stockings
yes, stockings, too lie in plenty
on well-stocked post exchange
shelves. French perfume is
there also and mama can smell
nice all day long.
The PX also has lots of candy
and chewing gum for junior and
little "Sis" and cigars for daddy
to put out when the colonel and
his lady come calling. Mamma
also can get 12 packages of
cigarettes a week.
Plenty of Entertainment
Liquor won't be too much of a
problem. The lieutenant will
get a regular monthly ration,
and there are several army clubs
where good quality drinks can
be had at soda fountain prices.
Entertainment will not be
lacking in this cheery, padded
existence.
There is a golf club, the
swankiest in Germany, where no
native son will clutter up the
fairway, and the lieutenant and
his lady can let their divots fly.
Fine German yachts have
been requisitioned for outings.
There are good denazified
beaches handy and at night
there will be regular army
sponsored movies, fresh from
Hollywood cans.
Yep, the war Is getting nicer
all the time.
In 1840, Cincinnati was
known as Porkopolis, having
gained the name by having the
best-known pork-packing center
in the world.
