1870. VOI.WME LXVIII NUMBER 2 10 WEDNESDAY, NOV. 2, 1945 Washington. OFFICIALS ON both sides deny reports John L. Lewis and his United Mine Workers union will rejoin the American Federation ot Labor.

Privately, the deal already has been made. Lewis will be returned to the fold at the next AFL executive council meeting in Miami, Jan. 21. The mine leader will be granted his No. 1 demand, a seat in the 1 1 council for his are Involved, but Brown and Hutcheson have been battling furiously as to which shall collect dues from thorn.

Brown has threatened several times to pull out of the AFL unless the issue is decided In his favor and has paid no per capita taxes for the last year to show that he means business. Several months ago. Green told the machinists' boss to "get the taxes on the line" or fac suspension. Should Brown repent and pay up, he still can be given tihe gate at the January mcet-ing under an AFL regulation providing for the suspension of any union which is three months in arrears in the payment of per capita assessments. Brown's removal would be a double victory for Hutcheson.

Not only is he getting rid of an enemy and thus making it possible to put the full might of the AFL behind his drive to organize the millwrights, but he is also getting a close crony, John L. Lewis, a seat at the AFL council table. Lewis Communications to this column must bear the correct name and address of the writer. Short letters are most interesting, and the right is reserved to condense letters when space limitations require. Unused letters will he returned only when accompanied by stamped, addressed envelope.

Both Sides of Housing Problem To the Editor: "Twenty-two hundred rooms without tenants," wrote the president of the Minneapolis Property Owners association in a recent advertisement. Twenty-two hundred rooms flaunted in the faces of returning veterans and their families who are walking the streets of Minneapolis in search of a place to live! It's the same old story human rights versus property rights. Which comes first? The veteran who has to live in a shabby apartment without heat and shared by three other families or the landlord who migbt lose a few dollars? The simple solution, according to the landlords, would be to have the OPA raise their ceiling. All it would mean would be higher rent, not only to the landlords of 2,200 rooms, but also higher rent for 50,000 or more Minneapolis tenants. It would mean higher rent, confusion and insecurity and everything else that comes with inflated, uncontrolled prices.

Should the city sit back and watch 2,200 rooms go vacant while 2,200 veterans live in trailer camps, filthy halls, over-crowded apartments, and even in bus depots? No, you can't force the landlords to open their apartments if they don't want to They have their rights property rights. Minneapolis. Virginia Gordon. To the Editor: Carel C. Koch, director of the local office of price administration, declared in his reply to the Property Owners association that the OPA believes increased rents would not be good for the economy.

I own a rental properly costing $21,900 and for the fiscal year 1945, after deducting depreciation and paying the operating expenses plus federal taxes I had the sum of $17.30 as a dividend on my investment. Now Mr. Koch tells us rent control is good for the economy. If he is sincere we property owners wish to have his formula. I have twice appealed to OPA for redress and twice my request has been denied without any grounds.

Is it better for the economy to draw upon the government for subsistence than to allow the owner of rental property to manage it Well, He's Trying! offered in protest seldom arcomplish much. History is made by ithose who stay, not by those who go. And who stay usually cling the more doggedly to their policies, however wrong, in the face of parting blasts. But maybe Pat Hurley's resignation as United States ambassador to China will be different, coupled as it is with the equally dramatic choice of a man of such prestige courage as Gen. George Marshall to take place.

Certainly something needed to be done to focus on American foreign policy in Asia and the Pacific a spotlight brilliant enough to away the shadows of public confusion about what we're doing there and why. And the state department, which ought to be the source of such light, has been instead one of the principal sources of confusion. It is acting like a houn' dog chasing its tail. The state department's inability or unwillingness to define and stand up for a clear and straightforward American policy in the Pacific is inviting a division of national opin-'ion about our interests there which greatly endangers our accomplishment of the basic things we have fought for. This backing filling may be part of the administration's whole policy of trying to make everybody happy a policy which has been defined accurately, in quarters close to the administration, as one of "calculated drift." But iwe aren't going to drift to a sound peace.

I And the average American doesn't know because he has had no interpretative light on the subject from his government, Avhat the policy of the United States is either respect to the civil war in China or the Indonesian revolt in Java. The basic facts of the Chinese situation are: l.That the United States always has seen 600,000 mine workmen. Details of the reunion were worked out in a series of confabs between Lewis and AFL leaders, including President Green, carpenters' boss "Big Bill" Hutcheson, and others during the labor-management conference. Biggest immediate barrier to be overcome was tihe lack of vacancies on the executive council. However, Green and his associates have now worked out a plan to remedy this the ouster of Harvey W.

Brown, president of the International Association of Brown has been In trouble with AFL chiefs for a long time because of non-payment of per capita taxes, growing out of a dispute between him and Hutcheson over unionization of millwrights. Only about 5,000 millwrights rr Representative Clare E. Hoff. man of I am an American Firster. I always have been; I hope I always will be, and if perchance St.

THE DAY'S RECORDS Editor's Note: Participants 33 Other States Have Party Designation By ROY DUNN Republican National Committeeman, Member himself so that in propitious times such as we now have he can earn a reasonable return on his investment? Minneapolis. A. J. Olund. To the Editor: The end of rent control would do little to improve the housing situation and much to disintegrate the returning service man's financial status.

Few men left the service richer in this week's Slar-Journal Round Table were asked: Should the legislature re-establish party designation for all elective offices? tions would be held, party platforms adopted, and nominees for office would submit their cause based on planks contained in party platforms. The resulting debates would furnish the voters a better opportunity to make the necessary choice. We would then have a more responsible state government. We are fortunate to have obtained as good results as we have under our present, system. I believe the change to party designation would better the situation.

This group includes all members of the legislature, county commissioners and city and village officials. Under our form of government different political philosophies are presente 1 to the voters for their consideration through the medium of a party platform. The party by presenting a platform assumes the responsibility of securing its adoption if successful at the polls. If candidates for elective positions in this second category run without party designation, it means that each candidate formulates his own political philosophy and adopts his own individual platform. This results In individualized government, confusion and "buck passing." Since party designation carries with it pany responsibility, each party would be interested in securing the most capable candidate possible for each position to be filled.

Obviously, it is physically impossible for each citizen to be personally acquainted with the qualifications of each of the candidates. Therefore, in making a selection trust must be placed somewhere. It can best be placed with a political party that has the responsibility for selecting competent personnel under party designation. than they entered it. A great many suffered terrific setbacks in terms of lost opportunities.

If rent control Is abandoned and rent-r rise freely, those who are supposed to benefit by the newly-opened vistas of living quarters would be unable to pay the rent as well as other living expenses. The majority would be obliged to mob the lower rentals, let the wolf in, or leave the city. The situation would be fully as deplorable as th" situation now and more shameful. If there are people who refuse to rent because they cannot get enough money, while children sleep In bus depots and families separate, these people cannot be described with the scorn they deserve. Minneapolis.

Zerl Johnson. To the Editor: Never have I seen a stand more strangled by its own reasoning than in the Property Owner's association's open letter to Mayor Humphrey. In the Aprrl issue of "Banking" William A. Irwin, educational director of the American Institute of Banking, says the one thing that can save us from serious postwar inflation is a stern continuation of price control. Few of us like it.

Some of us were reared to hate any type of governmental interference with economic life. But the undeniable fact is that price control during this war has been a tolerably good job. We shall probably be wise in hoping even if it runs against the grain that continuation of price control will be our salvation from economic disaster. If the property owners were really sincere in doing something about the situation for the good of all, shouldn't their solution be to make price controls more fair and OPA more workable? Shouldn't their recommendation be to clean up unfairness rather than abolish the one thing which is holding back economic disaster? The property owners have stated their case clearly and cleanly get rid of OPA so we can make more money. It obviously makes no difference to them whether OPA does a good or bad job.

Minneapolis. Phil Gelb. To the Editor: What do the property owners want? They are getting 10 prices already for their shacks that are ready to fall down, yet have waiting lists a yard long. We have to keep ceiling prices on rents as long as they are out to gouge the public. St.

That Russia has formally committed itself to this same view and has given up any major pretensions in Manchuria or in China itself. 3. That when Chiang had the rebellious Chinese Communists on the run he turned from chasing them to help the United States and its allies, at our request, bring maximum power and unity to bear against Japan. 4. That Japan still has 1,300.000 troops and 1.000.000 civilians in North China whom we have got to sec demobilized militarily and economically before the war in the Pacific can be said to be won.

5. That therefore it is to our interest, both short-range and long-range, both as a nation and as a responsible ally, to help the recognized government of China restore national order so that the processes of democratic living can be advanced in China itself and so that there will be a sound core around which to restore order and advance the cause of free self-government in Asia. The basic facts of the Java situation are: 1. That order must be restored there, in the Wake of the Japanese defeat, as a primary condition of considering what the political future of the European colonial areas of the South Pacific is to be and how the people's aspirations for greater self-government are to be met. 2.

That the Java area is the military responsibility of that segment of Allied forces commanded by Mountbatten and therefore it is his job to restore order and ours to help see as we are doing that he has the equipment with which to accomplish the job. The state department could make it clear to Americans in two brief statements, if it would, that we are neither intervening in China's domestic affairs nor supporting British imperialism in Java that we have a policy of our own in respect to both, and that it is a right and decent policy based on principles of freedom and democratic order, and that we intend to follow it. Instead the state department is inviting a strange coalition of Russia Firsters, isolationists, Americans who understandably want their soldier sons and husbands home, and a nondescript fringe of malcontents to confuse and mislead us and to convince us that we are sticking our noses into what's none of our business and pulling other people's chestnuts out of distant fires.

The continuous contest between our two political parties serves to maintain a vigorous, militant, forward looking nation rather than a warped or decadent country ruled oppressively by any one individual or special group. A republic can be maintained only through political parties. Political parties ran be maintained only through party designation. For this reason the party designation ballot in fundamental.

It is the starting point for party government. A check on party designation In the various states reveals .33 have complete party designation for all elective state and county offices. Three states have a non-partisan county ballot: California, Minnesota and North Dakota. Fifteen states elect their judiciary without party designation. Two states elect their legislature without party designation: Minnesota and Nebraska.

Insasmuch as so many states have stayed by party designation it would indicate that this is the proper way to carry on the two party system and to perpetuate the republican form of government. Aurelia E. Stauffer. 21. 3521 46th av S.

Candidates Belong in Two Categories By LAWRENCE M. HALL Spraker. State llnune of Re present Ht FOR THE FLRPOSE of determining whether elective positions should be filled by party designation in Minnesota, they By JOHN K. SHERMAN: Marti Introduces Two Cordero Compositions SAMUEL MARTI, Mexican violinist, has been valiantly spreading the gospel of Latin American music these last few months in various sections of the United States, including our own. Last night with his wife, Gunhild Nilsson, pianist, he made a return appearance here in a members" recital at Minneapolis Institute of Arts.

Opening the program, a sonata fantasia by Villa-Lobos gave a glimpse of that prolific Brazilian writing in late-romantic idiom, and de Falla's "Suite ropHlaire' took its through the Spanish provinces with folk airs of diversified character, played with flair and feeling. First performance of two short pieces by Roque Cordero, young Panamanian now studying here, impressed by their simplicity and unaffected charm a slow and sad "Melodia" and an impetuous "Danza" with tricky rhythms of piano and violin cleverly integrated. Marti exhibited a versatile style, though the auditorium wasn't too kind to his tone and I'm agin' talking at recitals on general principles. COLLEGE CONCERT I could hear only the last number on the Minneapolis College of Music orchestral program, first of the season there, but its verve and sonority bespoke a successful evening. Edna Church, pianist, gave a plastic account of the Rachmaninoff Rhapsody on a Paganini Theme, evoking both the poetry and rhetoric of this brilliant showpiece.

The program, conducted by William Muelbe, also contained Beethoven's "The Heavens Are Mullin elect a legislature pledged to the same program. If the nonpartisan feature is sound for the legislature, why is it not also sound for elective statewide offices! Under the present system the public cannot "turn the rascals out" for the reason that the voters don't know who the "rascals" are. Proponents of the non-partisan system argue that partisanship is undesirable. Even if this argument were sound, the fact is that non-partisan feature does not eliminate partisanship. Legislators still organize partisan caucuses, but, rather than Republican or D-F-L, they are termed Conservative and Liberal.

The result is that the individual legislator is partisan, but he hides his partisanship by not publicizing too freely his caucus affiliation. Under the nonpartisan feature, the voters choose individuals, not a program. The system is ultimately a denial of representative government because the constituent does not have an adequate mechanism with which to express his legislative preferences. He constantly votes blindly. I favor party-designation for all offices because the same factors hold true at all levels.

However, the important immediate need is re-establishment of party-designation for the legislature. t-" U-J cession of him can do anything to get the state department to pull itself together, whatever happens will be all to the good. Restore Party Dignity PARTY designation ably championed by leaders of both Republicans and Democrats elsewhere on this page would help remove the confusion which attends the Minnesota legislature. Except for the governor's program, recent sessions have been without much guidance. The windup has been a wild scramble, with important legislation falling by the wayside.

Partly, the ditching of projects at the end has been calculated, though largely it has been, the result of disorganization. Even without party designation, the legislature splits into two groups. But the present "liberal" and "conservative" bodies are loosely defined. They do not command the respect or have the discipline that regular parties do. Party government has been found necessary to self-government.
