ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH MONDAY, JULY IS, 1946 ST. LOUIS POST-DISPATCH PAGE 3B Dead JAMES C.JONES DIES; SOCIAL ACTIVITIES MARQUIS CHILDS 'THE LOST WALTZ' AT OPERA TONIGHT A Second Wave of Strikes? Elliott O'Reilly, Dr. and Mrs. O'Reilly returned last week from a trip in the West, where they attended the American Medical convention in San Francisco and visited Mr.

and Mrs. Samuel Montague in Portland, who were married June 15 at the O'Reilly home. Their romance began 40 years ago when she was a student at Radcliffe College and he at THERE is comparative peace today on the labor front. (The number of men on strike or locked out is negligible particularly when the current situation is contrasted with last winter. In January, the number of men out because of work stoppages was 1,400,000.

In May, it was little more than half a billion. While Labor Department figures are not available for June, the total at present is lower than at any time during the year. ill" p-J-. vl If A This makes for a welcome lull at the White House. The President struggled with so many crises during the winter and spring that the present quiet seems strange and unnatural.

Whether it is the beginning of a long period of peace and order or whether it is merely the lull before another storm is a question in many minds. In part the answer depends on the outcome of the price control controversy. In the first few days after OPA controls went off, the cost of living Index jumped up sharply. Echo of the Case Bill. If this continues, then a second round of wage demands will come this fall.

They may precipitate another round of strikes. If the theoretical gains of the unions are wiped out by price increases, then union leaders will have to go to bat again. That is the compulsion of our system of competitive unionism. The Chrysler division of the United Auto Workers has warned of a new wage demand in 60 days. A second round of strikes could have the most far-reaching political consequences.

President Truman vetoed the Case bill. His emergency labor draft proposal has mercifully been buried by Congress. No steps have been taken to equalize the Wagner Labor Relations Act so that unions as well as employers would have a responsibility to bargain collectively. The Poynter Case. In vetoing the Case bill, the President accepted a heavy responsibility.

The opposition accused him of yielding to organized labor. If he should have to try to cope again with the kind of crisis that grew out of the rail strike, the charge of a political veto would be heard with even louder emphasis. Labor's own position would be at stake in the event of a second storm. The irresponsibility of important sections of the trade union movement has gone a long way toward alienating the general public. While the evidence on this score multiplies on ev- DOROTHY Molotov's Proposals Harvard.

IT Jawbone Found in Java Indicates Huge Prehistoric Race Tooth From China. CHICAGO, July 13 (AP) Evidence that some mocern man's earliest ancestors may have been giants ranging up to twice the size of a male gorilla was disclosed yesterday by Dr. Franz Weidenreich, research associate of the American Museum of Natural History.

Nelson P. Poynter, editor of the St. Petersburg, Times, has been a stanch friend of labor. He was one of the few editors who opposed the position of the American Newspaper Publishers' Association that newspapers should be exempt from mandatory collective bargaining. Yet the printers on his paper have been on strike fo months for what Poynter says is a demand that the paper accept "laws" of the International Typographical Union under which the paper's composing room would be operated.

The union has now taken this case to the National Labor Relations Board, and Poynter has hired Thurman Arnold, former head of the anti-trust division of the Department of Justice, to fight the case up to the Supreme Court if necessary. Realities to Face. As a test of the power of the Typographical Union, Poynter advertised for non-union printers in a newspaper in Indianapolis, which is headquarters of the union. The paper refused the ad because their printers refused to set it, Poynter was told. He now sees in the unilateral "laws" the union would lay down a threat to the freedom of the press.

My second case is a key New Dealer who is just now engaged in a vigorous debate with certain union leaders who were his close friends. He is taxing them with irresponsibility and, above all, failure to supply mature leadership to meet the challenge of the postwar period. While he may never break publicly, his hopes for Bound, workable system of collective bargaining with mature, forward looking trade unions are badly shaken. He will not be likely to give active support, as he has in the past, to organized labor. These are realities that sooner or later the unions must recognize.

They are as real as any other factor which goes into the contest between labor and management. A little moderation, a little reasonableness, would count for a lot at this moment. THOMPSON Regarding Germany nist leaders, and of the Free German Committee in Moscow, have all held forth promises of a "free' and "strong Germany, re vived under the Russian aegis. A Whopping Bill. Actually, however, it can make little difference whether Germany is hanged, drawn and quartered, or burnt at the stake.

The Rus sian program is, while playing to the German national spirit, to bring the whole country into the Russian economic and defense orbit. And Mr. Molotov does not propose to change anything in principle. First, Russia alone is asking 10 billion dollars reparations without even presenting a statement of what she has already taken from the truncated and devastated country. The only way Germany could possibly deliver any such sum is to work for generations for the Russians, furnishing slave labor, both in German factories and in Russia proper.

Then, the Russians want to be in on the Ruhr "internationalization," and this despite the fact that the whole of German eastern industry is already in the hands of Russia and her satellites, with out any participation by Western Allies. The combination of reparations and Ruhr participation will mean comprehensive economic control of the whole industrial life of Germany. Democracy Not Possible. Politically, a German central administration is to be created, but Mr. Molotov hastens to add that "it will take a number of years to check up on what this new German Government represents and whether it is trustworthy." This simply means, as we have plenty of examples in Eastern Europe to prove, that there will never be be a "trustworthy" German Government until it is one on the model of Tito's or Beirut's.

There is not the slightest pos sibility that a truly democratic, that is to say, truly representative government can ever develop in derma ny under the conditions proposed by Mr. Molotov. They are not propositions for peace. "Only he says, "when we become satisfied that the new German Gov ernment is able to cope with these iasKs, and is really honestlv ful- filling thera in practice, can we apean. seriously or concluding a peace treaty with Germany." No government can settle down and gain strength and authority under such a vague and interminable prospect.

It is a proposal for continuing chaos. And I am sorry to discover what seems a similar idea in Mr. Byrnes's letter. "special meeting" in New York it was decided to "hold the line." Joi.es told members of the service, "Your board of directors suggests that no price increase be made at this time." During the war I had occasion to discuss the future of Germany in an off-the-record conversation with a person high enough in our Government to know exactly the situation with the Soviet Union. He favored, at that time, the dismemberment of Germany, and I argued that this would be unwise, and in the long run unsuccessful, unless the separate states were reintegrated into an European confederation.

My informant, however, answered that at any rate my argument was unrealistic, because the Russians were insistent on German dismemberment. I asked whether the Russians were insistent that we insist, or whether they were really insisting themselves. For I had read no statement of Stalin or Molotov, of anyone except the entirely unimportant Ilya Ehrenburg, which indicated that the Russians were in favor of any such version of a "hard peace" as we were putting forward. It looked to me then, and thereafter, as though the Russians were anxious that the Western Allies should make all the boners possible in regard to Germany in order that the Germans should throw themselves into a welcoming Soviet embrace. Rank Idiocy.

When the Morgenthau plan emerged at the time of the Quebec Conference, and apparently became, in substance, a foundation of American policy, this column attacked it and has done so ever since. Now it is attacked by Mr. Molotov, but until now American Communists and fellow-travelers have pinned the label of "German-lover" and "soft peace" on every American, who, like Molotov, has said that the attempt to agrarian-ize the most highly developed industrial country of Europe could lead to the breakdown of the whole European economy and was rank lCiocy. I suppose there are people who know there are many who pretend to. anyhow why, and under what pressures.

President Roosevelt scrapped the State Department's relatively enlightened memorandum on Germany, which he had previously okayed, in favor of the Morgenthau criticisms, after Mr. Morgenthau first visit to the front. At any rate, Mr. Morgenthau's fantastic concepts laid the basic "principles" for the Potsdam pro gram, wnicn played straight into soviet nanas. From Mr.

Molotov's speech it Is abundantly clear that the Soviets realize the strength of German Tiationai reeling, and intend to play it as a trump card.

You can get the most value from your party line by doing these simple things: 1. Keep your calls short and space them as much as possible. That will give the other fellow a chance to call, or be called. 2. Hang up quietly if the line is in use when you try to call.

Wait awhile before calling again. I I I I INDIVIDUAL LINES for all who want them will be available after we have served all the people waiting for telephones.
