TIME FOR A SHOWDOWN
One remarkalilc argument made against labor legislation designed
to correct the worst abuses of labor leaders drunk with power is that
this would lead to more industrial strife and stir up dangerous discord
within the country.
If that is actually tha case the sooner we deal with it the better.
If a few labor czars feel' that they can pit themselves against the
government and the clearcut demands of the people it is time for
a show down.
No labor seriously proposed would destroy the real rights of the
workingmun. None would deprive him of power to bargain for high-
er wages better factory conditions or prevent him from joining a
union if he so desired. But what some of the proposed laws would
io like the measutc approved by a House committee is to deprive
labor leaders of the "right" to dictate to their members under threat
of loss of their jobs to defy the government and to callously disregard
the welfare of the country.
A recent series of articles by Phelps Adams chief of the Washington
Bureau of the Sew York Sun should be lead nationally. They tell
of labor "iron sounds." which resort to extortion bribery mayhem
arson and murder. They tell of "unscrupulous union leadership of
broken contracts and of injustublo lust for power." They toll of a war
between labor unions in which the citizens of a great city were the
"victim'- of a campaign of terrorism and anarchy unparalleled since
Al Capone." They cite many examples with evety statement fully
documented.
Labor leaders violently opposeproposals which would correct such
abuses. They don't want justice they want licenses. They want to bo
able to make workers industry and the government dance to what-
ever tune they call. They want to be bigger and stronger than the
American people. It is high time for a showdown. (Brownwood

A Place Til Never Forget
BY WRAY POST
In the Russell Islands of the
Solomon group a few of us manag-
ed to get out and enjoy a bit of lei-
sure time once in awhile; none
of us however had tried to see any
beauty in the islands. We were In
the marine corps we thought and
we were prejudiced against the
Pacific and nil its aspects before
we ever went overseas. We were
there because we had ft be and for
no other reason. Since we had
this attitude the reader can sec
thnt it would take a miracle to
make us actually like much less
be deeply impressed with a single
spot in the islands; and a miracle
it was.
My outfit was with the first
marine division when it hit Pclciu
of the Pnlaus September IS 1044.
A number of the batnllion were
wounded including myself and we
were sent back to our base in the
Russells. I was with the first
group to reach Pavuva (of the
Russells); we were only five all
casualties. The rest didn't begin
to drift back until a month later
far. We had seen a million cocoa-
nut trees already; consequently
they weie a bit repulsive rather
than picturesque. So it was worse
than thnt; sickening is the word
since the ground was littered with
rotting cocoanuts which have a
distinctive pungent odor. We
reached the other side of the is-
land in about twenty minutes run-
ning into an old slaughter house
an annex to an ancient copra mill.
This too had an odor so we hast-
ened our steps to the shore and an
old pier. There was no sound ex-
cept that of the ocean slowly scrub-
bing the beaches around the island.
We hobbled out to the end of the
pier noticing a dilapidated rub-
ber boat moored on the left side
of it. It was floating lazily in the
sun letting the winds and waves
gently caress it. We took our
packs which were filled with such
delicacies as vanilla wafers and
canned chocalatc milk obtained
from the PX candy cigarettes
and chow out of some old ten-in-one
rations and put them all care-
fully in the bow of the craft. We

By II. Don Rogers
Houston Oct. 1 Unleashing
Ian explosive offensive in the sec
ond quarter the University of
Houston Cougars overcame a two-
touchdown deficit to blast the Dan-
iel Baker Hill Billies 35 to 12.
A heavy downpour fell through-
out the third period in which
neither team seoied. The first half
was played under Ideal weather
conditions. The rain began at half-
tlms. Daniel Baker scored its first
touchdown before the game was
four minutes old. Hurst Cougar
back fumbled and a bluc-shirtcd

us up we looked for oars finding
two. With two at a time rowing
we took off for the other side of
the bay a distance of about a mile.
and for awhile we hnd the place i placed ourselves carefully upon its
all to ourselves. It was during
this time that we found the place
we were always to remember.
We were on "no duty" a term
meaning just what it says; we were
almost as free as civilians. One
day while playing pinochle I was
seized with the desire to roam the
islands as a sightseer would on
vacation the snme feeling I used
to get as a kid in grade school. I
mentioned the iden to the other
four and they were in favor of
it. Wo grnbbed a little gear and
took off back of the camp.
We headed first through a grove
of cocoanut trees then proceeded
directly to the other side of the
island. Nothing like beauty so
About half way across wo began
to notice it; the gleaming white
shore of Pnvuvu. Our interest us
we drew closer. Oh well I
thought it looks good at a dis
tance but wait till we get closer
but I was wrong. It was pure
beauty at any distance.
We rowed faster eager to see
this place never yet touched by
man. Two or three at a time would
strip off and swim as well as handi-
capped bodies would let us. We
were really enjoying this com-
plete abandonment from the rest
of the cold warring world. As we
drew to within about a hundred
yards of the beach the full beauty
of the little gem began to dawn on
us; it was paradise epitomized. The
water was crysil-clear at fifty
feet; we could sec the beach with
not a dark grain of sand in it the
pure cream coral figures the multi-
colored lock and fishes of every
.size type nnd design; the sway-
ing under-v.ater vegetation which
would put the sheerest silken ma-
terial to shame with its finery.
The beach itself extended inlnnd
for about twenty yards and was
eighty in length. It was cloaked
with graceful palm trees.
There was nothing imperfect
about it; strangely enough there
weren't even uny insects. We
landed settled on a comfortable
spot and began to cat as a cool
breeze continually ran its fingers
over us; the whole effect was in-
toxicating ecstatic.

The third game played in Ebbclts
Field Brooklyn was the wildest
scoring fray of the entire series
tho Dodgers winning 0 to 8.
When the World Series opened
in Yankee Stadium lust Tucsduy
the Yanks put on their first show
of power by taking the first game
5 to .'1. On the following day they
trampled the defenseless Dodgers

poorest game of the series. But
on Thursday tho Bums front Flat-

the third and fourth games at
Ebbctts Field Brooklyn by a score

on Saturday the Dodgers lost the
fifth game in their home park tf to

day more than 74000 fans the
largest crowd in World Series
history saw the game and deter-
mined Dodgers fight their way
back into the Series by coming
from behind to beat the Yankees
8 to 0. An early four-run leud by

One of the heroes of the 1947
World Scries that will be long
remembered is Cookie Lavagctto
u worn-out Dodger who had to talk
his way along with the Brooklyn
club this year. In the fourth
game the Yankees were leading 2
to 0 behind the no-hit pitching of
big Floyd Bcvens and for eight
and two-thirds innings it looked as
if there would bo a perfect game
nnd a place in baseball's Hall of
Fame for the husky right-hander.
But with two out In the ninthc nnd
one man on Pete Reiser received
an Intentional pass from the Yan-
kee pitcher. And that's where
Cookie came in I Going into the
game as a pinch-hitter for second
baseman Ed Stanky Lavagctto
took one blood-thirsty swing nnd
missed the bull by a foot. Then
Bcvens let go his fast ball and Lav-
agetto lined it into right field for
a double that scored two runs und
won tho gnme for the Dodgers 3
to 2. An earned run by Jorgen-
son In the fifth gave the Dodgers
their other run. Incidentally Jor-
gensen walked to get that run.
So the records show thnt the Yan
kees got eight hits including a
double and n triple while the
Bums got 1 hit and 3 runs . But the
Dodgers won which goes to show
that anything can happen in a
baseball game and especially in
Brooklyn. If you are baseball
fan you won't soon forget that
fourth game of the 1947 World
Series regardless of who walked
off with tho world's championship.
In this same fourth game last Fri-
day Brooklyn's pitcher became the
first to win a World Sorles game
with one pitch nnd the first to win
two consecutive World Series
games. He won on Thursday; and
going in ns relief hurler in the
Yankee half of the ninth on Friday
he threw one ball that resulted in
a double play that retired the
Yanks. That's another unusual in-
cident of the recent series that
won't be forgotten soon; and it
happened in Brooklyn.
