Uwtn Markhara said: "The trouble that it do not wait in the right places to this power from on high." His Clothes Were Ragged It didn't happen here; but it might. The little boy's clothes were ragged; the soles of bis shoes were full of holes his hands were stiff from cold. He was walking along Main Street, U. S. A.

No one paid much attention. Few saw the pinched look on his face, the thinness of the body, the hollowness of his eyes. Just another street urchin. The announcement of his death the next day caused little comment. Someone mentioned the dreadful condition of other people's lives, but no one did much about it.

Some said, "That isn't my responsibility. It couldn't happen to anyone I know. I'm safe, and so is my family, let the rest of the world take care of itself." But wait. These are your neighbors, whether they live next door or back in the alley. They are human beings, who should be happy, healthy and fun roving like you and I.

Union Help for the Marshal I-Plan Some of the best brains of Aineri- two biggest labor organizations have not been too busy with domestic to give some thought to the situation in Europe. Their thinking seems sound, and the chances of Europe's recovery might well be increased if their projects are put into notion. The AFL would like to see labor spokesmen, chosen by labor, in a num- of posts connected with the administration of the Marshall Plan. These would include important diplomatic jobs in key countries, if the AFL had its way.

This request is backed by tlie soundest logic. Soviet say nothing of Henry A. telling the world that American foreign Policy is being shaped by Wai Streetcrs for the benefit of Wall Street. Tlie Marshall Pl an a foundation stone of that policy. Give organized American labor a significant role in administering that plan and Communist propaganda would lose much of its steam.

The AFL is going to ask the State Department to support, in the United Nations, the union organization's request that the UN Social and Economic Council and the International Labor Office survey the "slave labor" situation and try to find a means of overcoming it. The whereabouts of the many thousand military prisoners allegedly trans- V.Ported from the Soviet zone of must be determined at high government levels. Still, the interest of unions in the fate of these wprkers-an interest based on economic as well as humane considera- entirely proper. Meanwhile the CIO is reported Kady to spend a million dollars in Europe next year to improve the lot of members of Europe's remaining free unions. CIO plans are said to include, wnong other things, the establishment or youth centers in various countries.

wert made before the Communist-inspired riots in France and Italy. But the riots only emphasize the need of rescuing these confused, fcd, disillusioned, war-reared Ironi Communist agitators. Other CIO projects include the construction of a clothing factory in Italy, anil the up of playgrounds and niir.serie.s for the children of mothers who want to work. It is hard to see why the American government should not welcome lhe.se union plans. suggestions and go along with them.

High-echelon aid con- not reach down to intimate contact with the rank and file of European workers. A private program of aid, such as the CIO contemplates, should inspire the confidence as well as the gratitude of the workers. Officers of both the AKJ, and CIO, working among these workers but American government, should be convincing proijf that the United States' intention in Europe is to help, not to exploit. Europeans today'are in urgent need of an antidote fur the concept of class struggle, which is gaining ground in an atmosphere of growing misery. The spectacle of the CIO and AFL, in spite of some bitter domestic rivalries, cooperating with their government in rebuilding Europe's economy would certainly offer an example which the Communists would be hard put to dismiss.

A More Direct Payment White House reporters to think Unit Argentina stands good chance of getting an American loan if the Peron government should request one. Evidently it is felt that a loan of dollars might purchase the South American country's greater co-operation in the international food supply program. Well, a Ittfin probably would be cheaper than our present practice of sending dollars to European governments who spend them with Argentina for wheat, with the profits going into President Peron's treasury. Certainly such a transaction would have a more pleasing odor than thai associaled with Argentina's brazen shakedown of a hungry Europe. VIEWS OF OTHERS A Hemisphere Policy The Western Hemisphere can become model or stable world economy.

The chief chronic complications from alcohol affect the brain, spinal cord and liver.

Action of alcohol upon the body can be likened to an ether anesthetic. Although alcohol Is sometimes considered to bs a stimulant, Its chief effect Is to depress the nervous system.

Ralph Flanders of Vermot came up with a report that consideration might be given to rationing meat, butter and eggs, restoring installment-buying controls, extending export controls, allocating scarce the present cents an hour, and asking management and labor voluntarily to hold down wages and profits. Senator Flanders had previously urged curbs on commodity exchange speculative trading.

Trumans' message also calls for ourblng the grain pit gamblers and he has previously and repeatedly asked for a higher minimum wage. On the other parts of the Flanders program he does not go atong. What the President that the congressional committee on tile economic report has apparently not thought of is: authority to allocate transportation facilities and equipment; control over livestock and poultry marketing; encouragement ol Department of Agriculture conservation practices; extended rent control, and control over inventories of scarce materials. This, then, is the Truman austerity program. It is an austerity program in which nobody need get hurt.

"Tnis man has admitted he perjured himself.

I organized that company for the reasons I statnl and I loaned the LaMarres, both of them, about $18,000 over the years."
